Chapter 1151 Power Reconnaissance
The tentative attack of the Maple Republic is actually equivalent to a power reconnaissance, but in the interstellar country, the scale of this power 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 side should have gained much advantage.
The Swan and the cruisers around it maintained a stronger firepower output than nothing, and began to sail around the side with the mobile aircraft carrier.
The bombardment distance is too far for carrier-based aircraft. By the time they fly over, the daylily will be cold, so the mobile aircraft carrier needs to go around the side and approach to release the carrier-based aircraft.
What? You said you attack the aircraft carrier?
Yes, if you attack the aircraft carrier, the pressure on the opponent's fleet will be reduced, but it will be a case of losing the watermelon and picking up 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 with the opponent.
This is also a standard fleet battle method.
In fact, it was true. The Swan followed the mobile aircraft carrier and just halfway around, it found the Red Maple Republic aircraft carrier formation flying towards it.
"Visually confirmed, the enemy has five mobile aircraft carriers, 10 cruisers, and a frigate."
"Confirmed the radar signal of the carrier-based aircraft, they released the fleet."
The aircraft carrier has a catapult system that can release a large number of carrier-based aircraft in a short period of time. For a while, the radar was full of dense signals.
The Xuanshui Federation also released carrier-based aircraft, and there was no disadvantage in the number of aircraft carrier formations.
"Let Li Chengxi and Hall take off."
"Understood, the space fighter will execute the take-off procedure."
Without Alyssa saying it, Li Chengxi couldn't help it.
–--——----
"The take-off check is done, you guys be careful."
Fang Lanyin patted Hall's space fighter, indicating that you can take off.
Hall gave Fang Lanyin a thumbs up, indicating that it was OK, and Li Chengxi said:
"Don't worry, just prepare some paint and draw a few stars when I come back."
Fang Lanyin then left the hangar and returned to the engine room.
The two space fighters also lit up their engines, waited for the airlock door to open, and flew away from the Swan on the left and right.
Compared to looking at the radar, the direct view with the naked eye is more impactful. The engine lights lit by the dense fleet look like distorted noise on the screen. At a glance, they are everywhere.
"Tell the pilots of the Swirl Federation..."
"No need to form a formation, right?"
"You know me better and better."
Li Chengxi pushed the throttle lever up:
"I'll go first."
The slender Y-shaped body of the Lionfish whizzed away from the side of the Swan's bridge and soon turned into a small bright spot.
The roar of the engine mixed with the vibration made his ears slightly itchy. Li Chengxi quickly moved his wrist and casually opened the playlist to start playing songs.
The stars in the distance seemed to be displaced, and twisted lines were drawn on the screen.
It turned out that Lionfish was more comfortable in air combat.
The performance of this machine was really cool. After getting used to it, Li Chengxi was reluctant to drive the Manta Ray. He felt that the Manta Ray could not keep up with his operation at all.
However, for the enemy aircraft group, they only saw a signal of rapid approach on the radar, and once suspected that it was some super-high-speed rocket.
"Don't rush too far forward, beware of the anti-aircraft guns of the aircraft carrier."
Hall reminded in the communication channel, but it was almost the same as not reminding.
It would be strange if Li Chengxi cared about the anti-aircraft guns.
"First, use up the unused things."
The enemy aircraft group was still flying in formation. Li Chengxi opened the ability disk and selected "missile pod".
The speaker sent a beep, beep, beep prompt sound, and when it turned into a long beep, Li Chengxi pulled the trigger.
The backpack hanging above the Swan immediately rotated open, revealing a long strip of something, and immediately launched it.
It was fired from the left side of the lionfish, and with the purple-red flash, the lionfish turned quickly, and the missile pod was facing the group of aircraft.
Although there were no missiles in the area, the opponent's pilots were not stupid. This operation obviously launched some powerful weapons.
So the enemy pilots began to disperse and maneuver.
But they didn't know that the maneuvering they did would have almost no effect.
After approaching the group of aircraft, the missile pod immediately fired countless small combat bombs from it, and each combat bomb was aimed at a target to ensure that there would be no excessive killing.
Because the pilots chose to disperse, the result was that a large area of exploding orange flashes covered the cockpit's vision. Both the enemy and the friendly forces were shocked by the scale of this firepower.
It can be seen that the enemy aircraft signal on the radar immediately decreased by a large piece, and the lionfish turned back again, drawing a clear S-shaped trajectory towards the remaining enemy aircraft.
Li Chengxi didn't like to use missiles very much, but he didn't say that he would never use this level. Anyway, that was the last missile pod in this backpack. If it weren't for the group of aircraft, Li Chengxi didn't want to use it.
Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, the Lionfish flew through the remaining smoke and killed the survivors who were hit by fire.
It was obvious that they were stunned by this missile pod. The damaged fighters needed to cover the retreat, while the undamaged fighters sought to re-form.
It was at this time that Li Chengxi pushed the throttle up and rushed into the group of aircraft at a very fast speed.
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 immediately. 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 an honor for 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, 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, and 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.
