Chapter 1101 Star Gate Attack and Defense (6)
The performance of the Lionfish is so powerful that it surpasses the times, but it is precisely because it is too powerful that no pilot can bring out its performance.
After all, it is a test aircraft. The main purpose is to be a test platform to test new technologies. It does not consider mass production and whether the pilot can handle it.
But when such a fierce horse that no one can control is coupled with Li Chengxi, a pilot who has no physiological limits and is extremely skilled in operation, the effect is not one plus one equals two.
When driving the Manta before, Li Chengxi clearly said that it is impossible for me to fight more than 20 space fighters head-on.
The squadron that was able to kill Hall after escaping from the starship with Alyssa was purely tactical and terrain advantages. If it was a pure air battle with nothing, the Manta would be killed no matter how good the operation was.
But now it is different. The performance of the Lionfish almost made Li Chengxi unable to grasp it. It can make incredible maneuvers.
So now facing the fleet, Li Chengxi doesn’t care about the terrain at all. Purely relying on aerobatics is enough to kill seven in and seven out of the fleet.
He shook the joystick and then pulled it up.
The Lionfish spun as if it was stuck in a left-hand stall, avoiding the ion beam from the side, and then the vector engine sprayed downwards, the body regained control, and while flying upwards, it also used a wide-angle shot to blow up two space fighters that tried to dive from above.
This operation is enough to make a normal pilot's brain turn into tofu brain, but Li Chengxi can use it without scruples.
Especially in the roaring accompaniment of heavy metal music, under the influence of adrenaline, Li Chengxi's operation became more and more violent, obviously forgetting Fang Lanyin's instructions.
But then again, no matter how strong the Lionfish is, it is just a space fighter. It will have an impact on the local battle situation, but the impact on the entire battle is minimal.
Unless there are hundreds of Li Chengxi rushing towards the fleet and beating it with anti-ship weapons, it is just a simple joy.
On the bridge, Alyssa didn't even see how Li Chengxi operated, anyway, there would definitely be no problem.
A large group of civilian ships followed the Swan, which made it difficult for Alyssa to cope.
She wanted to leave the battlefield downwards, but was understood as intending to sneak attack the mobile aircraft carrier from below.
Now it was too late.
So Alyssa had to urgently adjust the plan again.
"Test firing and aiming, calibrate the firing parameters."
The result of the adjustment was to give up leaving from below, kill the mobile aircraft carrier, and then turn back to the star gate.
After all, if she left by herself, the fleet of the Red Maple Republic might also chase her. After all, the Swan was a warship. If she ran away by herself, she would be considered to be running to report and ask for help.
At that time, the Swan would have to rely on itself to deal with the warships of the regular army. It would be better to help while there are more people now, and then wait for an opportunity to drill into the star gate.
Since she couldn't leave, she would fight.
After the main gun fired, the data of the two test firings were combined for calculation. The latest shipboard computer installed on the Swan quickly gave a reference answer, and Long then made corrections based on this reference answer and his own experience.
"Target confirmed, good beam."
"Fire!"
The main gun of the Light Lance and the two secondary guns above and below fired at the same time. Long, who was observing through the gun mirror, immediately reported:
"The main gun hit, and the secondary gun missed the target."
"Continue to adjust the shooting parameters."
Alyssa also used the viewfinder to look at the hit effect:
"Free fire, send the distance and ship speed information to others."
The others were the other civilian ships following the Swan.
These ships that came to help were mainly cargo ships. After all, even if the crew wanted to help, the passengers would go crazy.
Since the armed indicators of each ship were different, the information on the shooting parameters could not be universal, especially the observation and shipboard computers of civilian ships could not be compared with those of warships, so only the target ship speed and distance information were shared.
The firing of the Swan was like a signal, and the civilian ships behind it also turned their self-defense guns and aimed at the target.
However, since their aiming system was not as good as that of the warship, whether they could shoot accurately depended purely on experience and luck.
Anyway, if the number increased, there would always be a hit.
The civilian ships had weak firepower and were armed purely for self-defense, but the scene of firing together was still very shocking. Seventy or eighty beams of different thicknesses and colors passed over the Swan and aimed at the aircraft carrier that had just been fired upon by the Swan and was maneuvering.
The latter was submerged by the beams on the spot, but it was still a little far from sinking and was seriously damaged.
At this time, several frigates of the Red Maple Republic came over and blocked the side of the damaged aircraft carrier.
The main purpose of the frigate is to block the knife, and this operation is also expected.
It is impossible to use a mobile aircraft carrier cluster without adding other warships, an aircraft carrier battle group.
However, the Red Maple Republic fleet may not have expected that civilian ships would actually participate in the battle. The number of frigates equipped was insufficient, and there would always be some gaps where the aircraft carriers were exposed. Aim at this gap and shoot, no matter whether it hits or not, just shoot.
Not to mention that the Red Maple Republic did not expect it, the fleet of the Rotating Water Federation did not expect it either.
The civilian ships and the mobile aircraft carriers fired at each other, which reduced the pressure on the Rotating Water Federation fleet and allowed them to focus more on fighting the enemy in front of them.
This is the consequence of pushing people too hard. Originally, civilian ships had no intention of participating in the battle. They would run away if they could. After all, why would they risk their lives for a few hundred dollars a month?
But the Red Maple Republic's fleet's two whips on the civilian ships made the civilian ships feel that if they did not resist at this time, they would be the next one to be defeated after the fleet of the Spin Water Federation was destroyed.
Even the rabbit will bite when it is anxious.
The frigates escorting the aircraft carrier not only blocked the knife, but also counterattacked a few times. The shields of most civilian ships could not withstand the artillery attacks of the warships.
But again, we have more people.
Weak weapons? Poor defense?
It doesn't matter, use numbers to overwhelm them.
Even if they silenced a cargo ship every time they counterattacked, the density of firepower did not decrease at all.
Soon, the three mobile aircraft carriers in the fleet could not bear the pressure and exploded on the spot.
A group of people could be heard cheering in the public channel. It was so cool to drive a civilian ship to fight a warship.
But Alyssa was not happy at all. It was still a long way from escaping.
"The fleet is approaching, the anti-aircraft guns open fire!"
"Speed at half the ship's speed, and wait for the civilian ships behind."
No matter how good Li Chengxi is, a space fighter can't stop a fleet of hundreds of aircraft. Some of them are entangled with Li Chengxi, and the other part will naturally come to the door.
Hall flew the space fighter across the bridge of the Swan and cooperated with the anti-aircraft guns to fight the enemy.
Alyssa immediately ordered the torpedoes to be fired, regardless of whether they hit or not, and regardless of whether they can fly over, the purpose is to distract the attention of the space fighter pilots.
By the way, I also hope that the explosion of the fire can call back Li Chengxi who is already having fun...
