Chapter 3059 Birds of Prey
When the Tyrannic Flying Titan with a length of more than thirty meters and a wingspan of more than forty meters appeared, the Thunder Squadron immediately tried to intercept it, but the laser cannons carried by the Thunder Fighters themselves and The automatic cannon could not threaten the heavily armored flying Titan, and the missiles were basically all out.
But even so, the auxiliary pilots flying the old Thunder fighters still fought with the large groups of Tyranids and soaring behemoths with the courage to risk their lives. One of the Thunder fighters was too focused Attacking the gargoyle, the result was a head-on collision with the gargoyle that suddenly turned. The engine sucked in a large amount of debris and exploded directly. The wreckage of the fighter jet rotated and fell dragging thick smoke.
"132 and 133 Squadrons, go intercept the gargoyles and leave the gargoyles to us."
After arriving at the battlefield very quickly, Kano immediately asked the Thunder Squadron to change the target of the attack. Then he took the lead and rushed towards the fierce woman insect.
Laser ablation marks and bullet scratches can be seen everywhere on the giant flying titan's purple carapace covered with yellow spots, and its eyeless head looks like a scratched wall, but this is actually an unfamiliar sign of a tough woman insect. The misunderstanding of pilots is that the strongest thing about this creature is its head. Most of the sensory organs on the head have even been degraded for defense. They rely entirely on the surrounding gargoyles to provide visual and bioelectrical signals. Attacking the head is actually the worst effect. of.
After making a sharp turn to avoid a group of gargoyles, Kano headed straight to the right side of the beast like a blue comet. With the assistance of the fire control system, Kano locked on the target and then opened fire continuously.
Flickering plasma quickly erupted at the phalanges in the middle of the worm's wings, where its biological cannon is located.
After being struck by the plasma, the huge flying Titan roared angrily, so much so that a sound wave formed at high altitude, but this could not prevent the fact that its important long-range weapons were smashed.
This is the real weakness of the worms. Their biological cannons have almost no defense and are even weaker than their thick wings. And most importantly, the worms don’t have many weapons. The only thing that can threaten a space vehicle like a transport ship is the two biological cannons. The two pairs of huge hooks on the lower body are deadly to fighter planes, but they are nothing to ships.
As the largest known flying unit of the Tyranids, the Harlequin is also the main spiritual node in the Tyranids' sky. The scream it emits after being attacked immediately attracts all the surrounding Tyranids. Kano soon heard the scan. The device issued an urgent warning, and the screen was almost filled with dense red dots.
Kano was accustomed to this. With an afterburner, and at the same time, the machine gun fired continuously, smashing the gargoyles trying to rot in front into pieces, and then quickly passed over the roaring worm's head, and The other three Voss Lightnings in the team suddenly came down from the diagonal right. Their cannons fired continuously, smashing the second biological cannon of the Flying Titan. The worm was even angrier after losing its biological cannon, but it did not pursue it. The lightning-fast fighter jet accelerated towards the transport ship, as if it was about to ram into it.
With its weight and hardness, it’s hard to say if it really hits it.
While Kano was directing the squadron to attack those sky witches, he suddenly pushed the nose of the plane down, then rolled quickly to avoid a series of speeding biological missiles.
The four sky witches seemed to be eyeing the fighter jet that had caused a lot of trouble, attacking from several directions, while the gargoyles kept appearing in the direction where he might maneuver, although the weapons in his hands were not at all It cannot threaten this swift fighter, but it can interfere with its maneuvers. Kano then released a series of decoy bombs, attracting more biological missiles, and suddenly pulled up, performing an S maneuver that was unbearable for mortals, and quickly locked onto a Sky Witch. After a brief roar of the cannon, the creature Dragging his broken wings and spine, he fell wailing to the ground. At this time, he seemed to be turning a blind eye to the ferocious worm that was heading towards the transport ship, and was only focused on hunting the Sky Witch.
But in fact, it's because the real Titan Hunters in the sky are already in place.
Three huge silver aircraft roared and swooped down from a higher level, firing a round of Hell Strike missiles towards the broad back of the worm. Then the twin revenge bolt cannons on the nose began to roar, fatally The armor-piercing projectiles were fired into the chitinous carapace that was shattered and full of cracks by the missiles. At the same time, the spherical turrets located on both sides of the wide and thick fuselage also began to use twin heavy laser cannons to shoot at the gargoyles crowded near the worms.
These three Flame Raptors were specially deployed at ultra-high altitudes to deal with the worms. Originally, when Soshiyang obtained the STC of the Flame Raptor, he did not like this slightly bulky fighter plane, but Due to the strong recommendation of Magyar and others, he still placed some orders with forge worlds such as Griffin IV, but the turrets on both sides of the fuselage were modified and changed into energy weapons, because the Vengeance Bolter Cannon is very powerful. Weapons that consume ammunition. If live ammunition weapons are used on both sides of the fuselage, the amount of ammunition loaded will be insufficient, which will affect the continuity of combat. It just so happens that the power of the Flame Raptor is relatively sufficient, and it can be equipped with a certain amount of energy weapons.
But even if twelve were finally produced, most of the time in subsequent battles, they would just eat dust in the warehouse and be of little use. However, when it came time to fight against the Tyranids, the Flame Raptor suddenly had A very critical task - the current fighter aircraft in the Astral Knight's arsenal, including the Storm Claw, are difficult to kill Titan-level creatures like the Harvest Insect in a short time, and the Thunderhawk's speed is very difficult. Not fast enough, such missions are very risky, and you can easily get snared by a large number of gargoyles.
As a variant of the Storm Eagle, the Flame Raptor inherits the speed and maneuverability of the Storm Eagle, making it faster and more flexible than the Thunder Eagle. In terms of firepower, the twin revenge bolt cannons are not as powerful as the Thunder Eagle's Turbo Laser Destroyer. It has destructive power, but its continuous attack capability is stronger and its lethality is not low. It is more suitable for dealing with relatively fast flying targets.
So the Flame Raptors, which had always been neglected, finally found their place on the Tyrannic battlefield. They formed a hunting team of three, doing nothing but patrolling at ultra-high altitudes. As soon as there is news about the sluts, they immediately rush over to hunt them. With their ferocious firepower and extremely fast speed, even hordes of gargoyles can't do anything to them.
After being hit hard by the flaming raptor, the huge crocodile finally couldn't hold on anymore. A stream of pus and blood spurted out from its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and various fragments mixed with broken soft tissues were sprinkled to the ground. A rain of blood.
The fatal blow came from the root of the left wing. A series of bullets tore the tendons and made it lose its balance. Although it flapped its wings vigorously, it began to fall uncontrollably.
The three Flame Raptors chased each other all the way until the opponent completely lost its ability to fly and fell to the ground. Then they turned around and rushed to the sky with the trembling transport ship.
After a terrifying voyage, although there were some crucified wrecks of Tyranid creatures outside the hull, the transport ship still reached the edge of the atmosphere and began to run towards a safe orbit, but the mission of the Rahman team was still It's not over, because the second transport ship also takes off.
