$1,030 Air Battle Prelude

The communication was not smooth. The Qiang Second Fleet refused Gao Kai on the grounds that it had not received orders from its superiors, and only agreed to cooperate with the attack fleet.

Gao Kai angrily ordered the Nanzhou to speed up the pursuit. At the same time, the Qiang Second Fleet fulfilled its promise to cooperate. The human fleets in the remaining three directions began to speed up the pursuit at the same time, pretending to be faster than the giant ship.

However, except for the Nanzhou fleet, which was really chasing after them, the speed in other directions was deliberately controlled, giving the aliens the illusion that they were powerless.

Killing one giant ship is a deterrent, but killing all the giant ships is forcing the aliens to fight!

Ye Han didn't understand the twists and turns here at all, and he didn't think the aliens understood the political language here. His only idea was to kill all the aliens, kill them, kill them!

But after putting aside his military rank and rank, he was just a soldier who knew nothing but fighting, not the thoughtful senior officials of Beidu.

With the last order from the Nanzhou, the waiting fleet moved forward at full speed and quickly approached the giant ship in front. Various data from both the enemy and ourselves were immediately gathered in front of Gao Kai to provide first-hand information for the subsequent battle.

"Report!" the combat staff suddenly shouted, "The enemy ship is accelerating, speed 72, distance 1240!"

"72?" Gao Kai wondered if he had heard something wrong. Not long ago, the enemy ship's speed was still 70 kilometers per second. Why did it change to 72 in the blink of an eye?

"Yes, it's still accelerating, it's going to be 73 soon."

Gao Kai frowned: "We have been fooled by the Japanese. Order the 17th Regiment to attack immediately!"

"Yes!" Countless voices said in unison, and the Nanzhou immediately sounded the battle alarm. The pilots who received the order quickly rushed to the remote control cabin, turned on the equipment and their respective fighters, and the hangar on the belly side of the ship automatically opened, revealing rows of rows. Heavy fighter aircraft fixed in the hangar.

"The Second Battalion and the First Squadron are ready, please take off!"

"The first squadron and the second squadron are ready, please take off!"

"The first squadron and the first squadron are ready, requesting to take off..."

The prepared signals were quickly summarized to the aviation bridge, and the commanders responded respectively. The pilots who received the takeoff order immediately unlocked the fighter jets - the commander was originally a special title in manned spaceflight. Due to the special nature of the space fleet, this position It is retained in the air and space carrier and is responsible for commanding the operations of carrier-based aircraft.

The heavy-duty fighter plane hanging in the cabin popped out of the cabin like a missile. Two slender tail flames immediately appeared from behind the butt of the fighter plane that exited the cabin. Although these two tail flames were inconspicuous, they immediately stabilized the posture of the fighter plane. After a while, , the thirty-six fighter planes were arranged into nine four-plane formations in squadron units, and then all the fighters were at full speed to chase the giant ship.

It took only 17 seconds from the time the order was given to all the fighters of the 17th Regiment to leave the cabin. On average, two fighters were released per second.

The 17th Regiment is affiliated to the 9th Air Aviation Division and is equipped with thirty-six Air-6 remote-controlled unmanned combat aircraft. This heavy-duty fighter aircraft is equipped with two chemical fuel engines. It has poor endurance but very high acceleration, and is most suitable for pursuit and interception.

The fleet of aircraft advancing at full speed quickly closed the distance between the two sides. Although the pilots were all sitting in the remote control cabin of the Nanzhou, the panoramic remote control cabin made all pilots immersed in the scene. The attacking aviation force was determined to win the enemy's giant ship.

The giant ship in front continued to accelerate, seemingly unaware of the human fighter planes chasing after it. The distance between the two sides continued to shrink, and within a short time the distance dropped to less than a thousand kilometers.

At this time, something ice-white suddenly floated out of the giant ship. The Nanzhou's main screen followed the giant ship, and it was immediately clear that it was dozens of ice-white small aircraft.

Chief of Staff Lu Zuo was shocked: "What's going on? Aliens also have fighter jets?"

Ling Yu whispered: "I'm not surprised at all."

"It's not surprising." Gao Kai agreed, "This is not the first time aliens have imitated it."

When the First Fleet went on an expedition to Jupiter, the alien warships were still very immature. Later, when they came into contact with humans more, the aliens first greatly increased the firepower of the warships, and later installed imitation naval guns.

It is not surprising to continue to imitate the space carrier now.

Lu Zuo asked worriedly: "Commander, can the 17th Regiment do it?"

Gao Kai thought for a while and said: "Order the 17th Regiment to take the initiative to move up and hold the enemy back; order the 18th Regiment to attack immediately, and use a roundabout flank to bomb the giant ship first."

"Yes!" Lu Zuo agreed, and immediately lowered his voice to persuade, "Commander, do you want the Thirteenth Division to also send out a regiment?"

There are two aviation divisions on the Nanzhou, namely the 9th Konghang Division and the 13th Konghang Division. The former is under the jurisdiction of the 15th, 17th and 18th Konghang Regiments; the latter is under the jurisdiction of the 16th, 22nd and 27th Konghang Regiments. group.

Among them, the 15th and 16th regiments are equipped with manned Air Force 5 heavy-duty fighters, and the remaining four regiments are equipped with Air Force 6 remote-controlled fighters.

Gao Kai frowned slightly: "Then let the 22nd regiment come up and execute it."

"Yes!" Lu Zuo quickly conveyed the order, and the 22nd Regiment set off immediately after receiving the order.

After leaving the ship, the 22nd Regiment immediately divided into two groups and pursued the giant ship from the left and right directions respectively.

At this time, the alien fighters had entered the effective range of the 17th Regiment. The thirty-six fighters belonging to the 17th Regiment quickly assigned targets and kicked off the battle with long-range missiles.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was still more than 700 kilometers.

The alien fighter jets moved forward in silence until the missile group was only over 200 kilometers away from the alien fighter jets before they suddenly opened fire. A stream of flying beams of light crossed the void, and the flying missiles were immediately hit by the beams.

A voice echoed in the radio: "Two hundred and twenty kilometers, their range is two hundred and twenty kilometers--"

"Missiles, missiles, don't stop--"

"Fire, beat his grandma--"

The entire 17th Regiment fired missiles like they were free, and in just a few seconds, all the remaining long-range missiles were used up.

Air Force 6 has 22 mounting points, but each fighter only carries four long-range missiles. The firepower density is really a bit unimportant, and no one expects long-range missiles to kill enemy planes. This is just to give the enemy planes something to do.

Gao Kai, who witnessed this scene, pointed to the screen and said: "Order the fleet to fire and cover the fleet to break through!"

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, the five warships led by Nanzhou immediately turned their guns, and more than 20 laser cannons fired at the same time.

The distance between the Nanzhou fleet and the alien fighters was still more than a thousand kilometers. The laser cannon had no power at this distance. Gao Kai's intention was not to kill a few enemy planes, but to disrupt the order of the enemy and create conditions for the 17th Regiment to annihilate the enemy.

At this moment, everyone's heart was hanging in the air.

Although the 17th Regiment was equipped with unmanned fighters, there would be no casualties among the pilots even if they were shot down by the enemy, but no one had ever dealt with alien fighters, and no one knew the combat capabilities of alien fighters. How could they not be worried for the 17th Regiment in front?
