Chapter 1232 Meteorite Belt Lightning Operation (7)

After being hit once, even the dumbest people know to be prepared. The fleet that just rushed out of the meteor belt will soon face the interceptors of the Maple Republic.

In fact, they had already sent out interceptors during the first attack, but because of the meteor belt and conventional combat thinking, the Maple Republic completely misjudged the number of fleets, so they suffered a loss.

When the fleet launched the second wave of attacks, it was obvious that the number of interceptors increased significantly, but because of the lack of prior attention to air combat, the total number of carrier-based aircraft that could be assembled temporarily was less than 400.

In terms of technical level, the two sides are actually on par. The appearance of the space fighters is slightly different, and the performance focus is also different, but generally speaking, they are the same generation of fighters.

The disadvantage of the Xuanshui Federation is that all space fighters are fully loaded, and they cannot throw away torpedoes at will before reaching the attack distance, which 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.

In the era of digitalization and beyond-visual-range strikes, the number of fighters is not a decisive factor. Although Alyssa is in the interstellar era, her tactics are still the classic World War II or even World War I tactics, which is the same from warships to fighters.

You know, although there were carrier-based aircraft dropping torpedoes in World War II, they soon realized that it was useless and dive bombers were still more effective.

The current space fighter war is nothing more than the most classic machine gun bombardment, and the number is a decisive factor.

The pilots of the Red Maple Republic are obviously not stupid. As soon as they see the number of aircraft groups that have left the asteroid belt, they know that a head-on confrontation is definitely a death wish.

They immediately split up into small groups and repeatedly harassed the aircraft of the Rotating Water Federation in small groups. In layman's terms, it is an assassin tactic, shooting and running, using their high speed and high flexibility without torpedoes, not greedy or finishing, and hitting as many as they can.

Because the aircraft of the Rotating Water Federation are equipped with torpedoes, it is actually very troublesome to chase them. This tactic obviously slows down the advancement of the aircraft group.

However, on the battlefield, you have a plan, I have a ladder, and soon, the flight commander sent a new order.

He selected some friendly space fighters and ordered them to drop torpedoes and provide escort for friendly forces.

Reducing one attack wave of torpedoes to deal with the interception of the Red Maple Republic was a correct choice, and the Red Maple Republic's interceptor formation soon had to start retreating.

A large formation of nearly 3,000 fighters could not be intercepted by less than 400 fighters. After all, the performance of the two sides' aircraft was actually similar. After dropping torpedoes, they turned into escort aircraft in seconds and did break through the blockade quickly.

And what they had to face next was the fleet's air defense firepower network that had been ready for a long time.

The Red Maple Republic learned the lesson of the first wave of attacks. They made air defense adjustments specifically for the wave attack tactics of space fighters, and a large number of professional regional air defense destroyers were placed in front of the flight line of the fleet.

This place is like a hell composed of steel storms.

The high-speed flying shrapnel makes the shield of the fighter plane light up from time to time. The friendly forces around you may still be there just now, but the next second they become orange flashes reflected on your cockpit glass. The friendly channels that have lifted the radio silence are full of roars, screams and curses. You can't even hear any useful information.

The flight commander still hasn't sent an attack order. I don't know if he thinks the distance is not enough or the flight commander has been killed.

Hall pushed the throttle, her car turned left and pressed down, the nose swung a little and aimed at an enemy plane that had just tried to attack her and escaped. The ion beam and machine gun fired a long burst, turning the opponent into sparks.

This action is completely copied from Li Chengxi, but you have to say, the effect is really good.

That's for sure. The air combat skills used by Li Chengxi are not unique to the game. They are all skills and tactics that have been repeatedly verified to be effective on the real battlefield, but they can also be used in the game.

However, the newly added record can't make Hall feel happy at all. She held the joystick tightly with both hands, and her eyes kept observing herself up and down through the cockpit.

Li Chengxi and Lionfish have completely disappeared. At most, you can only see some purple-red flashes in the dark background of the universe, and you can't tell where he is.

And it's incredible that Li Chengxi didn't go far this time. In normal operations, Li Chengxi would have left the fleet and gone alone. It's not surprising that he has destroyed two warships at this time.

Although Li Chengxi is willful, he still cares about his own people. In this case, the pilot is just a filler baby cannon fodder. In fact, it's not how strong your flying skills are, but whether your fate is strong enough.

The reason why the ace is the ace is because he is tough, not because he can't be shot down.

In this environment, if you go too far, you won't even have a chance to save people.

But then again, I'm afraid it won't be possible to go deeper.

The main target of the second attack is actually the reactor jammer of the Red Maple Republic, which is the huge parachute-mounted battleship device.

But it's easy to tell that the thing is protected in the center of the Red Maple Republic fleet, which is the most heavily defended place.

Now it's difficult for the fleet to advance just at the edge of the fleet. If it continues to push forward, it will definitely be wiped out.

Moreover, the Red Maple Republic's interceptors are coming again.

The Red Maple Republic Fleet must have brought aircraft carriers, but the number was not as many as the ones prepared by the Water Spin Federation in advance. The first wave of carrier-based aircraft did not work, and the second wave of carrier-based aircraft, combined with the anti-aircraft firepower of the destroyers, would have a significant impact on the fleet.

Fortunately, at this time, the voice of the flight commander finally appeared in the communication channel:

"The waypoint has been set, the attack point has been determined, all fighters, bomb and return according to the flight plan."

The airborne star map immediately synchronized the data, Hall pulled up the joystick, and the fleet advancing in the rain of anti-aircraft artillery fire immediately went to the attack point to bomb.

A huge wave of carrier-based aircraft rolled up again in the void, and one by one the void torpedoes broke away from the launcher. After a short ignition and acceleration, they flew silently towards their respective targets.

The firepower network of the anti-aircraft guns changed significantly after the bombing began. The first target was changed from the Water Spin Federation fighter to the approaching torpedoes.

The anti-aircraft guns of a destroyer on the torpedo's path were almost melted, but it could not stop such a large number of saturation attacks. The torpedoes were full 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 hidden. It is difficult to detect by radar and difficult to lock visually. The disadvantage is that it is too slow and it depends on luck to hit the target.

Hall also reached the attack position and pressed the launch button. He could clearly feel that the space fighter was much lighter, but Hall did not have time to see if the torpedo hit the target. He just hoped that it could fly as far as possible, the farther the better, only in this way could it hit the target.
