Chapter 1102 Stargate Attack and Defense (7)
Compared with Li Chengqi, Hall is very cautious.
After all, you only have one life, and not everyone is like Li Chengqi who just needs to replace his vehicle when it explodes.
Hall piloted a space fighter to guard near the Swan. It seemed unreliable to have only one space fighter to make up for the shortcomings in air defense.
But don't forget, there are a bunch of civilian ships behind them. Although they don't have space fighters, they at least sent shuttles to help.
At least one, and usually three or four shuttles will be prepared on the cargo ship.
This is because not all space stations can accommodate large cargo ships, and not all ports have the ability to quickly load and unload cargo.
Preparing shuttles can speed up cargo loading and unloading. In the logistics industry, speed is money. The sooner you can get it done, the sooner you can place an order. Shuttles are not expensive anyway, so preparing two more can be used as an escape hatch.
There were about twenty cargo ships following the Swan, and the number of shuttles was not just hundreds, but dozens more.
"Stay close to the formation, don't run too far, the blue one over there, you rushed too far forward, stay within the range of the anti-aircraft guns."
However, without the shuttle, the pilot's ability is not the same as that of a pilot from a regular aviation school. Besides, there is also a huge gap in the performance of the aircraft. Not everyone can drive a shuttle to kill space fighters like Li Chengqi. of.
Hall organized the shuttles that came for reinforcements and designated a defense area, warning them not to fight the space fighters. Instead, they should use the cover of the anti-aircraft guns to intercept the torpedoes projected by the space fighters, giving priority to protecting themselves.
She had just barely managed to organize a bunch of scattered people when she saw dense signals appearing on the radar. The dense engine light also entered the field of vision through the cockpit glass at this time.
Hall was not worried about Li Chengqi who ran out alone. He also knew very well that Li Chengqi could not stop a fleet of hundreds of planes by himself. Some would definitely be left to fight with Li Chengqi while the others continued their mission.
It was visually estimated that the number of space fighters flying over was over fifty, which was less than expected.
But this couldn't be resisted by a group of civilians flying shuttles, so she said to use more anti-aircraft guns.
At this time, the Swan's anti-aircraft guns fired first. Since the space fighter had not yet reached the effective air defense range, the shells fired were purely water sprinklers and were unlikely to hit the space fighter.
This is done to disperse the fleet and the torpedoes they throw. If they are too concentrated, it will be easy to hit several torpedoes in a row. In that case, the shield of the Swan will not be able to withstand it.
"Don't come forward!"
Hall said loudly on the public channel:
"Waiting for instructions."
The shuttles floating around were a little eager to try, maybe because of nervousness. After all, these people at most had combat experience with pirates and had no experience facing regular troops.
The engine light of the space fighter is getting closer and closer, and the anti-aircraft barrage fired by the Swan is getting denser and denser. Even other cargo ships near the Swan are also firing, making the firepower in the air defense area even denser.
This is already the ultimate distance, and it will be very dangerous for space fighters to continue to approach.
Although dropping bombs closer will ensure accuracy, it is more likely that the space fighter will be torn apart by anti-aircraft fire, which also requires great courage.
Sure enough, as Hall predicted, the approaching space fighters started bombing procedures one after another, like a U-shaped flip, and threw out the torpedoes hanging on the belly pylons.
"Now, aim for the approaching torpedoes!"
Hall pushed the throttle push rod, and the humming roar of the engine was heard in the cockpit, and a number of shuttles rushed over.
It is impossible for this ragtag group to compete with the regular army, and the target is torpedoes.
Hall was also flying a space fighter. She was the fastest. She lightly pressed the button on the joystick with her finger. The aircraft body shook slightly, and a torpedo aimed at the Swan was exploded on the spot.
The orange flash and flames seemed to engulf the cockpit, but Hall took the direction and the space fighter swept past the edge of the explosion. This step went smoothly, but it was impossible without accidents during the battle. No matter how well-trained soldiers may make mistakes, let alone these are just civilians.
Hall immediately saw a three-machine formation running out of the air defense range. Before she could go to the rescue, the space fighters wandering outside the air defense range immediately rushed forward like vultures seeing carrion. In a wave-like attack, the three shuttles were destroyed on the spot. .
People may make some stupid mistakes when they are nervous, or even ignore some very basic issues when they are too focused.
It sounds outrageous, but in fact this situation has happened many times in the history of human aviation, and it has also led to very serious consequences.
For example, some civil aviation pilots are paranoid that when a problem occurs, it is a false alarm from the machine, thus missing the best rescue opportunity. Air crashes caused by this situation are not uncommon.
"I repeat, don't leave the air defense range! Use the ship's anti-aircraft firepower and don't confront the military's space fighters head-on!"
No matter how awesome Hall is, she can't turn a group of rabble into well-trained soldiers in a short time. She can only keep repeating on the public channel to remind everyone not to fight against space fighters and focus on intercepting torpedoes. superior.
At this time, two torpedoes approached a cargo ship near the Swan. Fortunately, they were stopped by defensive artillery fire before they hit, and exploded at a very close distance. If it had been later, one torpedo would have been enough to destroy a cargo ship.
The driving skills of civilians cannot be complimented, but these people are already considered experienced drivers because they often drive shuttles to deliver goods.
Hall saw this and pushed the accelerator lever all the way.
The engine speed and engine speed indicators on the instrument suddenly surged, and the fuselage vibrated slightly at rapid speed.
Unless there are special circumstances, space fighter pilots will not push the throttle to the top. There are not many ruthless people like Li Chengqi who can go at full speed for a long time.
Mainly space fighters moving at full speed are difficult for pilots to control.
During this period of time, whenever Hall had time, he would definitely get into the simulation warehouse and use Li Chengqi's battle data to fight simulated battles. Although he was tortured miserably, Hall could clearly feel that his skills and consciousness were improving unknowingly. .
This is the first time since leaving aviation school.
What she was doing now was completely imitating Li Chengqi, temporarily forgetting the safety requirements and operating regulations she learned at the aviation school.
So, what are Li Chengqi’s driving characteristics?
Pursue high speed, pursue precise attacks, and escape with one blow.
This is completely different from the dogfighting strategy taught in aviation schools, but Hall obviously learned it quickly.
Li Chengqi's tactical habits are purely because his teammates are more terrifying than his enemies when playing games. He's trying to steal heads one by one. If he wants to steal heads from these donkeys, he has to fly a high-speed plane and play one-hit escape. Just run away after the fight, otherwise you really won't be able to grab a kill.
Although this is a tactic in the game, it exactly matches the tactics in air combat.
The huge G force acted on Hall, and his vision blurred for a moment, as if everything he saw had been dimmed. Hall knew that this was black vision, because the G force was too strong, and the blood ran from his head to his legs. It's gone, so the field of view becomes dark.
However, she had already scored a kill just now, and with the physical fitness of a pilot, she could still withstand the overload limit for a short time, but it took a lot of physical strength.
Therefore, it was impossible for Hall to perform Li Chengqi's continuous overload maneuver. After she achieved the victory, she used her speed to escape with one blow.
While looking for the next target, it’s also to take a breather.
At this moment, Hall saw a large flash of light suddenly explode in the direction of the mobile aircraft carrier, like countless artillery shells exploding, covering a large area.
It was definitely still far away from the mobile aircraft carrier, but the explosion area was on the channel where the aircraft carrier's aircraft flew towards the Swan.
This is probably what Li Chengqi did again.
