Chapter 543: Regaining Glory (Big Mistake)
Many years later, in an interview with the original members of the "Revival Alliance", the host was very curious about Johnny... Letin asked a question.
That's what it was like the first time he participated in a large-scale space battle.
Johnny Redding obviously had a deep memory of this battle, and answered without hesitation on the spot:
"I regret it. I regret it very much at that time! Especially regretting working with this guy Manfred."
It can be said that Johnny Redding's regrets have already appeared after he and Manfred attacked the enemy's position in a 'coordinated advancement' method.
When he launched a pursuit of the escaping two-seater reconnaissance boat, and in the process, he chose to rush towards the incoming HCP fleet to cover Manfred without hesitation.
Looking at the 18 murderous HCPs in the distance, Johnny Redding must admit
At that moment, he gave up.
But he also knew that it was useless to be timid at this time. Turning around and running away would definitely lead to death. However, if he mustered up the courage to rush forward, there would still be a glimmer of hope.
"Maybe this is 'living towards death'?"
After this thought flashed through his mind, Johnny Redding directly turned up the power of the deflection field generator, then increased the power of the plasma propulsion array, and headed towards the enemy.
At the same time, under the mapping of the on-board operating system, the red full-equipped "Sacred Shield" he drove also assumed a charging posture with a shield and a sword.
He knew very well that there would be no future for him to engage in mid- to long-range shooting with one of his own aircraft and 18 enemies on the opposite side.
Even if you can dodge, no matter how poor the opponent's shooting skills and accuracy are, the pressure brought by the attacks of 18 groups of long-range weapons is still too much.
Therefore, the best solution is to find a way to close the distance and enter hand-to-hand combat, and then, assuming that the opponent does not have any "ace pilots", rely on your own technical advantages to deal with the opponent until the support troops arrive to rescue your dog. life'.
You see, this is a very ‘Atlas’ solution.
Although Johnny Leiting is still a member of the "Revival Alliance" combat force in theory, in fact after this period of training, especially after being trained by Murat, he has already become "Atlas" ' shape.
"Warning, you are locked!"
"Warning, a strong electric field reaction has been detected, and the characteristics are determined to be heavy particle cannon fire!"
"Warning, missiles are coming! Missiles are coming!"
"warn."
A warning buzzer sounded, followed by a series of warning messages from the combat assistance AI - the opponent's attack had begun.
Johnny Leiting quickly glanced at the enemy's directed energy weapon attack 'prediction line' calculated by the combat assistance AI, and then while keeping the current approximate course unchanged, he ducked towards the gap in it. passed.
The whole process was smooth and smooth, without any lag. It took less than a second from the alarm sounding to the HCP starting to make evasive maneuvers.
And when this second ended, the blue-white beams produced by more than ten heavy particle cannons blocked the location where he had just been.
If Johnny Redding moves any slower, he will become a space revenant under the jets of these heavy metal particles.
However, he did not relax because he dodged this round of attacks. Instead, he adjusted the direction of his body again and held the shield firmly in front of him, and then used the close-defense laser to intercept the approaching combat missiles.
Immediately afterwards, several heavy particle cannons in the 'diffuse irradiation mode' completely covered his current position.
Although in the 'diffuse irradiation mode', the attack width of the heavy particle cannon becomes extremely large, so the power of these heavy metal particle jets is greatly reduced.
However, if the unit being attacked does not take adequate defense, it is inevitable that a lot of external equipment and sensors will be wiped out.
However, Johnny Redding's previous operation of maximizing the deflection field strength and maintaining a heavy shield to protect himself at all times also allowed him to successfully withstand this round of coverage attacks without injury.
"So far, the opponent's attack patterns are exactly the same as what the instructors said. If this is the case, then what happens next?"
Johnny Redding, who felt like he was taking an open-book exam, continued to maintain high-speed maneuvering after the opponent's heavy particle cannon attack, and then deployed the electromagnetic reconnection cannon and used the low-voltage rapid-fire mode to fire all the weapons. All the airgel shielding bullets were fired.
These programmed warheads, after leaving the acceleration orbit and continuing to fly for a certain distance, directly self-destructed one after another without even waiting for the opponent's body to intercept them with high-energy lasers.
Soon, an 'airgel wall' that was enough to protect Johnny Letting's stand-alone machine appeared in the space where the two sides were fighting.
After the opponent's heavy particle cannon salvo, the charged particle cannon and high-energy laser attack were just blocked by the newly formed aerogel wall.
The laser and charged particle beams began to refract and reflect crazily in this piece of airgel, and even formed a 'light curtain' to cover the figure of the red 'Sacred Shield'.
"Okay! What the instructors said is indeed true. Use the heavy particle cannon to attack the 'Lottery' first. If the battle fails to be resolved, use a near-light speed weapon with higher accuracy."
Johnny Redding, who was sighing in his mind that Murat and the others' training was like a 'pre-exam test' that made him quite comfortable in the current 1V18 battle, suddenly found that his confidence seemed to be slowly returning.
On the contrary, the mentality of the 18 pilots on the opposite side has changed somewhat.
Especially after discovering that their first two rounds of attacks had achieved nothing, and that the target would quickly approach under the cover of aerogel, pretending to drag them into hand-to-hand combat, these temporary HCP commanders became a little panicked.
"Quick! Everyone, load the electromagnetic reconnection cannon with compressed helium warheads and blow away these aerogels for me!"
"Warning, a strong magnetic field response has been detected, and it is determined that the electromagnetic reconnection cannon is ready to fire!"
When the warning from the combat assistance AI sounded in the cockpit, a smile appeared on Johnny Letting's face, and he regained his confidence at this moment.
So far, all the opponent's countermeasures are exactly the same as those judged by the instructors at Atlas, and Johnny Letin even had the illusion that he was fighting a simulated battle, because the opponent's attack process was even better than the AI simulation. The opponents who come out need to be standard, or rigid.
"You plan to blow away the aerogel, right? Then I want to see if you guys can come and re-energize it later!"
Johnny Redding looked stern. While the other party fired compressed helium warheads to continuously blow away the aerogel, he also used the increasing relative speed to quickly close the distance between himself and the nearest local HCP.
Although the opponent's HCP realized that something was wrong, it was already preparing to distance itself under the cover of its teammates, but after the blue 'blade' of the plasma sword in the hand of 'Holy Shield' lit up, it was too late. .
