Chapter 1289 Meteor airborne, storm landing battle (3)
If the air-to-air shooting between fleets can be regarded as a volley of guns, then the launch of space fighters into the air is a complete meat grinder.
Because the space fighters had to engage in dogfights with the enemy at extremely high speeds, it was a real struggle. Many pilots were lucky enough to come back with wet diapers.
It has to be said that although in the current war mode, pilots are equivalent to cannon fodder, these guys are actually more like knights riding war horses to attack. What stands out is their fearless courage.
After receiving the order, all the cruisers opened their side airlock doors. A cruiser can carry 4 to 6 space fighters, and the cruiser fleet Alyssa is in has hundreds of battleships.
However, this number pales in comparison to other mobile aircraft carriers. An aircraft carrier can launch more than twenty space fighters into battle in a short period of time. In an instant, both enemy and friendly forces on the radar are almost densely packed. The display was completely covered, and the aircraft carrier's electromagnetic catapult was moving in the direction of the smoke.
Compared to friendly forces, the Swan looked shabby, with only two space fighters attacking.
The Swan has six hangar locations, five of which are currently in use. One is missing because Hall was destroyed when he flew a space fighter in a previous attack, and no new ones have been added.
Mainly because the pilots are Hall and Li Chengqi, and there are no new pilots joining, so it is useless to have more space fighters.
The Swan can apply to the military for additional pilots. Generally speaking, the number of pilots is about 1.5 times that of space fighters. After all, machines can often carry it but people cannot, so backup pilots are needed.
But Alyssa didn't apply for a supplementary pilot because there was no need for it.
Li Chengqi can equal a flying group by himself, which is completely sufficient in terms of combat effectiveness. What's more, Li Chengqi's existence is not suitable for publicity everywhere. If there are too many pilots fighting side by side, it will be impossible to hide it.
So even though there are many people on the Swan now who have been added later, many people have heard of Li Chengqi, but no one has seen him.
But everyone knows that this is a ruthless man who uses red stars on the aircraft to indicate the number of battleships destroyed, and it has almost become an urban legend on the ship...

"The backpack is connected."
Fang Lanyin patted the window of Lion Fish and said to the communicator: "Brother Li, be careful. The barrage level outside this time is higher than before."
"I know, I know, I'll be right back."
Li Chengqi never obeyed orders and would attack whenever he wanted.
But this time I didn’t go out immediately because the backpack hadn’t been loaded yet.
The high-energy particle rifle ammunition in the previous backpack was used up when fighting the frigate. This time, Li Chengqi dismantled a model backpack in advance and put it in.
I feel that if this trend continues, Li Chengqi's trash can will probably become a place of ecstasy for Jiao Lao.
Hall, who was next door, gave the lionfish a thumbs up through the window, which meant you could go first.
All the maintenance personnel retreated to a safe distance, and Lionfish started the engine. He couldn't wait for the airlock door to fully open before catapulting out.
It can be seen that Li Chengqi can't wait to go out and cause a scene.
At this time, if you look behind you, you will see countless Spinwater Federation fighters forming a formation and flying towards the front of the fleet, preparing to intercept the enemy aircraft group.
Looking forward, the dense shelling was like a slap in the face. Fang Lanyin was right, the density of firepower was completely different from before.
Li Chengqi was confident of avoiding the ion beam, but he still had no good way to deal with the physical shells that were almost invisible to the naked eye. He rushed directly into the firing line of the battle between the two fleets, and was set into fireworks by stray bullets flying from nowhere. This kind of It was such a shameful way to die. Even Li Chengqi didn't dare to be so stubborn. The lionfish waited for Hall for a moment, and then plunged downward with a fierce thrust, drawing a ninety-degree turn arc and approaching the Red Maple Republic's fleet from below.
Hall was already used to Li Chengqi acting alone and didn't bother to remind him anything. He just said in the communication channel:
"Don't run too far, we may carry out lowering operations at any time!"
This was mainly because he was afraid that Li Chengqi would get too excited and forget about business.
Don't say it, don't say it. If Hall doesn't remind him, Li Chengqi may forget about this.
After all, the outcome of this war is not important to him, only having fun is important.
The speed of the lionfish can even catch up with the cannonballs, and Li Chengqi is a guy who likes to push the accelerator. As early as when the two fleets were far from contact distance, Li Chengqi took the lead and rushed to the front.
Looking at the fleet of planes getting closer and closer, Li Chengqi secretly thought it was a pity.
This time the backpack did not have a missile pod. After all, the model he bought did not specify how the merchant should modify it.
Otherwise, with this dense formation of aircraft, one missile should be able to explode a lot of gold coins when it hits the cabin.
But there is no missile pod, we have something new this time.
The approach of the lionfish immediately aroused the alertness of the Red Maple Republic fleet. After all, Li Chengqi had not fought with them once or twice. Now there is a legend among the pilots of the Red Maple Republic that monsters will appear on the battlefield. The legendary monsters, naturally It was the Lionfish that Li Chengqi opened with him.
According to word of mouth among pilots, this monster will rush up immediately every time and will not act as a team at all.
So when the Red Maple Republic aircraft fleet saw a red dot on the radar approaching with an elusive signal, they immediately thought that a monster had appeared.
Perhaps Li Chengqi had used missile pods to quickly eliminate enemy troops before, so the Red Maple Republic fleet dispersed immediately.
Although there was only one space fighter, Lionfish, they seemed to have seen a scourge, hiding wherever they could.
This did cause some trouble for Li Chengqi, but it was just trouble.
He held the flight joystick with one hand and the throttle with the other, while his eyes were fixed on the indicator at the bottom of the screen.
The sound of 'didi beep' sounds from the stereo. When the sound changes to a long beep, immediately pull the trigger.
On the back of the lionfish, two cylindrical fairings suddenly popped open, revealing two 30mm rotating tube cannons. The servo motor drove the rotating tubes to rotate. The hot tongue of flames accompanied the lionfish as it turned sharply, just like a sniper. Throw out a fiery red arc.
Any space fighter in the firing line was torn apart almost instantly. A lucky few only had a slight resistance from their shields, and were then smashed into pieces by super-high-speed cannons.
Alyssa also has revolving cannons. Even the 20mm cannons used by most space fighters have a similar structure and have a super-fast rate of fire.
The 30mm caliber cannon on the backpack looks just like a larger caliber, but its rate of fire is about the same as that of an ordinary space fighter.
But this power is indeed unmatched by ordinary machine guns.
The reason is also very simple. This time it is truly six clean depleted uranium bombs...
