Chapter 1151 Powerful Reconnaissance
The Red Maple Republic’s exploratory attack is actually a powerful reconnaissance, but in the interstellar country, the scale of this powerful reconnaissance is very exaggerated.
The light of the engine once obscured the stars, and the flames of the beam cannon illuminated the dark void. Orange explosion flashes could be seen constantly in the fleets of both sides. In the initial artillery battle, neither one seemed to have taken much advantage.
The Swan, together with the cruisers around it, maintained a stronger firepower output than without, and followed the mobile aircraft carrier and began to sail sideways.
The bombardment distance is too far for the carrier-based aircraft, and the day lily will be cold by the time it flies over, so the maneuverable aircraft carrier needs to approach the side and release the carrier-based aircraft.
What? You said you fight aircraft carriers?
Yes, if you attack the aircraft carrier, the pressure on the opponent's fleet will be reduced. Instead, you will lose the watermelon and gain sesame seeds.
After all, carrier-based aircraft and mobile cruisers are difficult to pose a threat to the fleet. They are just interference. Instead of attacking them, it is better to send your own aircraft carrier to entangle the opponent.
This is also a standard fleet battle style.
In fact, this was indeed the case. The Swan followed the mobile aircraft carrier and was halfway through the detour when it spotted the oncoming Red Maple Republic aircraft carrier formation.
"Visual confirmation shows that there are five enemy mobile aircraft carriers, 10 cruisers, and one frigate."
"The radar signal of the carrier-based aircraft was confirmed and they released the fleet."
The aircraft carrier has a catapult system that can launch a large number of carrier-based aircraft in a short period of time. For a while, the radar is filled with dense signals.
Of course, the Xuanshui Federation has also released carrier-based aircraft, so it has no disadvantage in terms of the number of aircraft carrier formations.
"Let Li Chengqi and Hall take off."
"Understood, the space fighter is executing takeoff procedures."
Needless to say, Alyssa said that Li Chengqi could not bear it for a long time.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
"The takeoff inspection is complete, please be careful."
Fang Lanyin patted Hall's space fighter, indicating that you can take off.
Hall gave Fang Lanyin a thumbs up, indicating OK, while Li Chengqi said:
"Don't worry, just prepare some paint and wait for me to come back to paint some performance stars."
Then Fang Lanyin exited the hangar and returned to the engine room.
The two space fighters also lit their engines one after another, waited for the airlock door to open, and flew away from the Swan on the left and right.
Compared with looking at the radar, looking directly at the naked eye is more impactful. The engine lights illuminated by the densely packed fleet of aircraft look like distorted noise on the screen. At a glance, they are everywhere.
"Tell the pilots of the Spinning Water Federation..."
"You don't need to form a formation, right?"
"You're getting to know me better."
Li Chengqi pushed up the accelerator lever:
"I'll take the first step."
The Lionfish's slender Y-shaped body flew away from the side of the Swan's bridge in a swish, and soon became a small bright spot.
The roar of the engine combined with the vibration made his ears itch slightly. Li Chengqi quickly moved his wrist, clicked on the playlist and started playing songs.
The distant starlight seemed to be displaced, drawing distorted lines on the screen.
Sure enough, the lionfish is more comfortable in aerial combat.
The performance of this machine is so good. After getting used to it, Li Chengqi is now very reluctant to fly the Manta. He feels that the Manta cannot keep up with his operations.
However, for the enemy aircraft group, they only saw a rapidly approaching signal on the radar, and for a time they wondered if it was some super-high-speed rocket. "Don't rush too far forward, be careful of the aircraft carrier's anti-aircraft guns."
Hall gave a reminder in the communication channel, but it was almost like no reminder.
If Li Chengqi cares about anti-aircraft guns, then there's something wrong with him.
"First of all, use the unused stuff."
The enemy aircraft fleet was still flying in formation. Li Chengqi clicked on the ability disk and selected 'missile pod'.
The sound of beep, beep, beep came from the speaker. When it turned into a long beep of beep, Li Chengqi pulled the trigger.
The backpack hanging above the Swan immediately rotated open, revealing a long strip, which was immediately launched.
It shot out from the left side of the Lionfish, and with the purple-red flash, the Lionfish turned quickly, so that the missile pod was facing the aircraft group.
Although there are no missiles in the area, the opponent's pilot is not stupid. This operation is obviously to launch some kind of powerful weapon.
So the enemy pilots began to disperse and maneuver.
But they didn't know that the maneuvers they performed would have almost no effect.
The missile pod immediately fired countless small combat bombs from it after approaching the aircraft group. Each combat bomb was aimed at a target to ensure that it would not cause excessive damage.
And because the pilots chose to disperse, the result was that a large exploding orange flash covered the view of the cockpit. Both enemy and friendly forces were shocked by the scale of this firepower.
It could be seen that the signal of the enemy aircraft on the radar immediately disappeared by a large amount, and the lionfish turned back again, drawing an obvious S-shaped trajectory and flying towards the remaining enemy aircraft.
Li Chengqi didn't like using missiles very much, but he didn't want to use them at all. Anyway, that was the last missile pod in this backpack. If he hadn't run into a fleet of aircraft, Li Chengqi wouldn't have wanted to use it.
Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, the Lionfish darts through the remaining smoke and kills the survivors who are under fire.
It was obvious that they were stunned by this missile pod. The damaged fighters needed cover to retreat, while the undamaged fighters sought to regroup.
It was at this moment that Li Chengqi pushed up the accelerator and rushed into the fleet of aircraft at extremely fast speeds.
The ion beam and the 20mm cannon fired alternately. These rookies, who were already confused, did not let Li Chengqi use the high-energy beam rifle on his backpack.
He wanted to keep the ammunition, and of course the most ruthless ones were reserved for the battleships.
The pilots of the Red Maple Republic can only see the purple-red light flashing continuously, and they will be shot down soon afterwards. The pilots who are occasionally lucky enough to escape the disaster cannot see the whole picture of the lionfish at all. The row of red stars on the fuselage made the pilots frantically call for support.
For every downing, a mark will be painted on the fighter plane. This is not only the honor of the fighter plane and the pilot, but also a kind of intimidation to the enemy.
Especially the first wave of aircraft released by the Red Maple Republic were mostly rookies who had just graduated from aviation school, which made them panic even more.
In fact, they panicked too early. The red star on the lionfish was indeed the number of the crash, but it was not the one that shot down the space fighter, but the one that shot down the battleship...
After all, based on Li Chengqi's record, if the numbers of downed space fighter planes were also added up, then the lionfish's slender body would probably be covered in red stars.
Li Chengqi doesn't care about the number of space fighter planes shot down. For him, most of the time, space fighter planes do not pose a threat. Battleships are more powerful.
"Don't rush too far forward! Especially don't run to fight the battleship by yourself!"
Li Chengqi killed seven in and seven out. The aircraft fleet of the Xuanshui Federation had just arrived at this time, and Hall reminded loudly on the communication channel.
Hall knew that if he didn't remind Li Chengqi, he would definitely abandon the fleet and run to find a battleship to participate in the grand event.
Of course, the reminder was selective for Li Chengqi. This time he was obedient because the second wave of aircraft from the Red Maple Republic had arrived.
