Chapter 3058 Lightning Escort

". All teams, our mission is to escort the transport ship into orbit. It has almost no maneuverability in the atmosphere and can only sail along a fixed route. We must ensure that its sailing path is on the There is no obstruction by Tyranid flying creatures.”

Kano’s voice echoed among the squadrons of the Rahm Company. Due to the expansion of the legion, the size of one squadron in the past was obviously not enough, so he asked. In the previous reform of the legion system, Shiyan separated the Rahm Squadron from the fourth company of the Astral Knights and combined it with some of the flight formations of the White Templar to form the Rahm Wing. In fact, it can be regarded as an independent of the company, Kano was also promoted from non-commissioned officer to company captain, which is the same level as the company commander.

However, Kano still serves in the Astral Knights most of the time and serves as the squadron leader of the 1st Flying Squadron. Not all of the four squadrons under the Rahm Wing are in the Astral Knights. Two squadrons followed the White Templars in non-assembly conditions. After reorganization, the Rahm Wing had 48 Voss Strike Lightning fighters.

In the previous naval battle, the Rahm Alliance had a fierce battle with the Tyranid void creatures. With the superior performance of the Voss Strike Lightning fighter and the far superior reaction capabilities of the Space Marines, The entire company's recorded number of annihilated enemies exceeded 3,000, as well as countless spore clusters, without any casualties.

However, after entering the ground evacuation phase, due to the significant increase in the number of ships, there was no need for these precious fighters to continue venturing in the void, so Soshyan deployed them all to the planet to assist in the evacuation operation.

Taylon can sense life signals, and they will definitely keep an eye on transport ships filled with refugees. Transport ships are actually very fragile in the atmosphere. First, they are slow and second, they are inflexible. The structural strength of civilian ships is also insufficient. Once they are besieged by Tyranid flying creatures, they can easily be destroyed or even fall, or they can be invaded into the hull.

When the first transport ship rose to an altitude of about five thousand meters above the ground, black smoke composed of countless gargoyles swooped out from the clouds, mixed with some large creatures. Under the huge wings, biological missiles with tentacles are constantly twisting, ready to go.

“A large biota was found, six o’clock direction!”

“Medium-sized biota was found, eleven o’clock direction!”

Kano receives signals from all directions and responds quickly.

"The second squadron is to intercept the enemy in the eleven o'clock direction. The third and fourth squadrons are to intercept the enemy in the six o'clock direction. The remaining Thunder squadrons continue the escort mission. The first squadron is to intercept the enemy at three o'clock. Focus on the enemy and give priority to firing at the Sky Witch."

"Visual enemy!"

As the Voss Lightning engine roared, numerous Tyranid flying creatures appeared in the observation mirror. .

The huge sky witch is surrounded by gargoyles. They are hidden in the human shields composed of many small creatures. Their vicious and cold eyes are staring at the transport ship that is struggling to rush towards the atmosphere.

But before that, their attention was attracted by Vos Lightning, which flew quickly to intercept.

"Biological missile electrical signal detected!"

Tianwu's biological missile will release a strong biological electromagnetic pulse when it hits the target, paralyzing the target's electronic equipment or extinguishing the engine. They speed Very quickly, but because the strong electrical signal is also very easy to detect, the auspicious array provides the data to the pilots and calculates a plan based on the biological missile's flight path, vector, and speed.

Subsequently, the Voss Lightning fighter plane dropped a dozen small things with parachutes, and those biological missiles immediately seemed to have found their targets and ran towards those baits - the Adeptus Mechanicus dissected the wreckage, It was confirmed that Tianwu's missiles chased electromagnetic signals, which meant that anything that could emit a strong magnetic field would attract them like a magnet.

Sure enough, hundreds of biological missiles all hit the bait, and then turned into tattered pieces of meat and fell. The sky witches screamed angrily, and the gargoyles swarmed over, and they tried to take the opportunity to attack the transport ship. Kano was very familiar with the Tyranids. They had cunning hunting wisdom, but they didn't know how to conceal their intentions. .

From time to time, the Voss Lightning fighter jets fired fiercely at the gargoyles, beating the small creatures into pieces of flesh and bones, and then suddenly accelerated and dispersed in several directions due to the terrifying output of the plasma ramjet engine. , he got rid of the gargoyle group in a few breaths, and the Sky Witch, who lost the cover of the gargoyles, was completely unprepared for the fighter plane that suddenly appeared behind him.

Kano locked one of them and launched two anti-air missiles at a half-second interval at high speed. They flew towards the target at extremely high speed.

The Sky Witch accelerated and turned, using the creature's unique flexibility to avoid the first missile, but the second missile had been pre-aimed at its avoidance route. The violent explosion then swallowed the monster, and it turned into a The flaming waste plummeted to the ground.

Then Kano suddenly pulled up and dodged the biological missile fired from the right rear, then rolled and turned, and the cannon fired continuously.

The firepower of the two plasma cannons hit Tian Wu's body, splattering fragments of flesh and chitin, and tearing off his wings.

Wailing, another beast fell downwards.

After the Maelstrom Expedition, the Voss Lightning of the Astral Knights had their firepower upgraded, replacing the original laser cannon with a shorter-range but more powerful Reza-type plasma cannon—— This weapon combines the technology of the plasma machine provided by the Astral Knight to ensure a certain rate of fire without overheating easily.

Facing the Hram United, which had a crushing advantage in speed and firepower, it was obvious that the wings of the Tyranids were not enough, and all they could rely on was quantity.

While Voss Lightning was killing gargoyles and witches every second, there were still a large number of Tyranids flying desperately towards the transport ship, and the escorting Thunder fighter formation became Fortunately, most of the sky witches have been eliminated, and Thunder's performance is enough to face the gargoyles.

As the altitude continues to climb, the speed of the transport ship also increases, and soon it will be able to get rid of the harassment of Tyranid flying creatures by its own speed.

However, the most dangerous area is approaching.

"The giant enemy creature was discovered! It's a worm!"

When Kano received the distress signal from the transport ship, he was not too surprised, because they had already entered the atmosphere. I had encountered an interception by a Tyrannic flying creature. This huge flying Tyranid creature seemed to be hovering in the middle layer of the atmosphere, specializing in intercepting human aircraft entering the planet from space or leaving the planet in space.

"Copy that, Squadron 1, follow me."

Kano changed his course and rushed towards the enemy scanned by the auspicious device at an extremely fast speed. Soon the wingless flying behemoth appeared in the tactical helmet. At this time, it was leading a large number of gargoyles towards The transport ship rushed over. If the gargoyle could only cause a little trouble to the transport ship, then it could pose a fatal threat to the transport ship.
