Chapter 1232 Meteor Belt Lightning Strike Operation (7)
After being beaten once, no matter how stupid you are, you will know how to be prepared. The aircraft fleet that had just rushed out of the meteorite belt was about to face the interceptors of the Red Maple Republic.
In fact, during the first attack, they had already dispatched interceptor aircraft. However, due to the meteorite belt and conventional combat ideas, the Red Maple Republic completely misjudged the number of aircraft groups and suffered a loss.
When the fleet launched the second wave of attacks, it was obvious that the number of interceptor aircraft had increased significantly. However, due to the lack of prior attention to air combat, the total number of carrier-based aircraft that could be assembled temporarily was less than 400.
The technical levels of the two sides are actually about the same. The appearance of the space fighters is slightly different, and the focus of performance is also different, but overall they are fighters of the same generation.
The disadvantage of the Xuanshui Federation is that all space fighters are fully loaded, and the torpedoes cannot be dropped at will before reaching the attack range. This is equivalent to a lot of dead weight, resulting in a significant decrease in maneuverability.
But the advantage is that the number is very large.
When entering the era of digitalization and beyond-visual-range strikes, the number of fighter planes is not the decisive factor. However, Alyssa's side is clearly in the interstellar era, but the tactics are still classical World War II and even World War I tactics. This is true from battleships to fighter planes. All the same.
You know, during World War II, although carrier-based aircraft also dropped torpedoes, they quickly realized that they were of no use and dive bombers were better.
Today's space fighter wars are nothing more than the most classic cannon-cannon bombardment, and quantity plays the decisive factor.
The pilots of the Red Maple Republic were obviously not stupid. One look at the number of aircraft that had escaped from the meteorite belt, and they knew that a head-on confrontation would definitely be a court of death.
They immediately broke into pieces and organized into small teams to carry out repeated harassment operations against the fighters of the Spinning Water Federation. In layman's terms, they were assassin tactics. They would run away with just one shot. They used their high speed and flexibility without torpedoes, and they were not greedy for swords. The last hit counts as much as you hit.
Because the Xianshui Federation's fighter planes are equipped with torpedoes, it is actually very troublesome to chase them. This tactic obviously slows down the advancement speed of the fleet.
However, it has always been the case on the battlefield that you have a good plan and I have a ladder. Soon, the flight commander sent a new order.
He selected a group of friendly space fighters and ordered them to drop their torpedoes and provide escort for the friendly forces.
It was quite a correct choice to reduce the number of torpedoes in one attack wave to deal with the interception of the Red Maple Republic. The interceptor formation of the Red Maple Republic soon had to start to retreat.
A large formation composed of nearly 3,000 fighter planes, with less than 400 fighter planes alone, would definitely not be able to stop it. After all, the performance of both sides' aircraft was actually about the same. Without torpedoes, they could instantly transform into escort aircraft, and they would indeed break through the blockade very quickly.
The next thing to face is the fleet's air defense firepower network that has been prepared for a long time.
The Red Maple Republic learned the lesson of suffering losses in the first wave of attacks. They made special air defense adjustments in response to the wave attack tactics of space fighters. A large number of destroyers specialized in regional air defense were placed in front of the flight routes of the fleet.
This place is simply like a hell composed of steel storms.
The high-speed flying shrapnel causes the fighter's shield to light up from time to time. The friendly forces around you may have been there just a moment ago, but the next second they become orange flashes reflected on the glass of your cockpit. In the friendly forces channel where radio silence has been lifted, There is so much yelling and yelling that you can't even hear any useful information.
The flight commander still didn't send an attack order. I don't know if he felt that the distance was not enough, or if the flight commander had been killed.
Hall pushed the throttle, her car turned left and pushed down. The nose of the aircraft swung and aimed at an enemy aircraft that had just tried to attack her and escape. The ion beam and cannon fired a long burst, turning the opponent into sparks.
This action is completely copied from Li Chengqi's, but don't tell me, the effect is really good. That's for sure. The air combat skills used by Li Chengqi are not unique to the game. They are all skills and tactics that have been repeatedly proven to be effective on real battlefields, but they can also be used in the game.
However, the newly added achievement did not make Hall feel happy at all. She clenched the joystick with both hands and kept observing her up, down, left and right through the cockpit with her eyes.
Li Chengqi and the lionfish have completely disappeared. At most, you can only see some purple-red flashes passing by in the dark background of the universe, and you can't tell where he is at all.
And it is incredible that Li Chengqi did not go far this time. In terms of normal operations, Li Chengqi had already left the fleet and went alone. It is not surprising that he had destroyed two battleships by this time.
Although Li Chengqi is willful, he still cares about his own people. In this situation where pilots are just cannon fodder to fill in the gaps, the test is not how strong your flying skills are, but whether your horoscopes are good enough. hard.
The reason why the ace is an ace is because he is lucky, not because he cannot be shot down.
If you go too far in this environment, you will not even have the chance to save people.
But then again, I’m afraid I can’t go any further.
The main target of the second attack was actually the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer, which was the huge umbrella battleship device.
But even thinking about it with his buttocks, he knew that that thing was protected in the center of the Red Maple Republic fleet, which was the most heavily defended place.
Now it is difficult for the aircraft fleet to advance just at the edge of the fleet. If it continues to push forward, the entire army will eventually be annihilated.
Moreover, the interceptor planes of the Red Maple Republic are here again.
The Red Maple Republic fleet must also have brought aircraft carriers, but the number is not as large as that prepared by the Spinning Water Federation in advance. The first wave of carrier-based aircraft did not have an effect. The second wave of carrier-based aircraft, combined with the destroyer's anti-aircraft firepower, will cause harm to the fleet. significant impact.
Fortunately, at this time, the flight commander’s voice finally appeared on the communication channel:
"The waypoint has been set, the attack point has been determined, and all fighter planes will drop bombs and return home according to the flight plan."
The airborne star chart immediately synchronized the data, Hall pulled up the joystick, and the fleet of aircraft advancing in the heavy rain of anti-aircraft fire immediately went to the attack point to drop bombs.
A huge wave composed of carrier-based aircraft rolled up in the void again. The void torpedoes separated from the launcher. After a brief ignition and acceleration, they flew towards their respective targets silently.
The firepower network of the anti-aircraft guns changed significantly after the bombing began. The first target was changed from the spinning Federation fighter plane to the approaching torpedo.
The anti-aircraft guns of a destroyer on the path of the torpedo were almost melted, but it could not stop such a large number of saturation attacks. The torpedo was eaten up on the spot and soon turned into a pile of space junk.
The torpedo continued to move forward. The advantage of this thing is that it is powerful and very concealed. It is difficult to detect with radar and difficult to lock with vision. The disadvantage is that the speed is too slow and the hit depends entirely on the chance.
Hall also arrived at the attack position and pressed the launch button. He could clearly feel that the space fighter was much lighter. However, Hall did not have time to see if the torpedo hit the target. He just hoped that it could fly as far as possible. Well, that's the only way to hit the target.
