Chapter 1026: Want to learn? I'll teach you

Since the attack was sudden and this was a neutral star field, there was no regular army guarding it. At most, there was a planetary defense force like the Alan Star Chain.

Their mobilization speed and equipment quality were far from comparable to those of the army. They were attacked too suddenly and not many ships could arrive immediately.

So the Swan was conscripted and put into a position unsuitable for a light cruiser to engage in cannon fire on the distant pirate fleet.

Fleet warfare is still the same as naval warfare, arranging formations and concentrating firepower. At most, it has changed from the battle line of naval warfare to a more complicated wheel formation, which is a way to maximize the power of naval guns.

This is correct, but it doesn't make much sense.

"Have you put on your heavy-duty pressure suit?"

"Fang Lanyin helped me find the one with the best stress resistance effect."

"Okay, let's go."

Hall quickly fastened his seat belt and held the armrest of the driver's seat tightly with both hands.

Fang Lanyin exited the hangar's thermal insulation door, and the modified Manta Ray, propelled by its engine, detached from the airlock and flew away from under the Swan's wings.

"I'm going to play for a while. Hall is with me, don't worry."

These words were not said to Hall, but to Alyssa on the channel.

Alyssa was silent for a moment, and then the communication was cut off.

Hall heard "WTF" from Alyssa's silence...

After leaving the Swan, the first thing we saw was a large number of shuttles and space fighters coming out of the small airlock of the space station behind us. They were also preparing to deal with the pirates, but they still needed time to form a formation.

The cockpit immediately emitted a beeping sound, indicating that there was an incoming communication.

"Tell them I don't need a formation."

Hall lifted his mask and operated on the keyboard. While making the announcement, he also sent an identification friend or foe signal.

Just as he was about to close the mask, Li Chengxi said:

"Although you shouldn't have to do that since you're a pilot, I still suggest you don't fasten your mask tightly."

why?
Just as Hall was about to say this, she felt a strong push on her back, pressing her down into her seat. The engine power of the Manta was turned to maximum, and the numbers on the speedometer were increasing rapidly.

The roar of the engine made the body of the aircraft vibrate slightly, giving people a feeling that it would fall apart at any time. The Manta Ray deliberately avoided the area of ​​the fleet's artillery battle, and beams of main guns flew over the Manta Ray.

Hall held the handrail tightly. The sudden acceleration would definitely make people uncomfortable, but as long as the acceleration was stable, this feeling would disappear immediately.

It’s like sitting on a high-speed train, you don’t even feel the shaking or the acceleration.

Now in a stable, high-speed, straight flight, Hall could see through the cockpit glass that large swathes of engine lights were appearing in his field of vision, and there were estimated to be dozens of them.

"They are all shuttles, and the space fighters are also very old models, so it won't be a big problem."

When Hall saw the other party, the other party also saw the Manta. From a distance, a row of ion beams mixed with tracer bullets were coming towards them.

Hall reflexively tried to grab the joystick, but the joystick rotated and pressed down first.

The Manta also followed Li Chengxi's operation, rolling half a circle and diving suddenly.

The distance was so far that only the engine light could be seen, and the Manta was still maneuvering at high speed, so it would be a miracle if it could hit it.

If the opponent's barrage shooting misses, you won't lose, but if it hits, you'll make a lot of money.

The Manta, avoiding the barrage of bullets, drew a 'J'-shaped trajectory, making a gesture as if it was about to shoot at a high angle from below.

The pirates noticed it, and the fleet immediately dispersed and surrounded them from the left and right. This was actually very troublesome. The pirates were on top, and they could swoop down and shoot from above. The performance of the Manta Ray would not crush the pirates.

The advantage of dive shooting is that when two high-speed moving aircraft are in the same direction, their relative speed will approach 0, making it very easy to aim, and the person being aimed at will even find it difficult to see the situation above.

If it were any other pilot, Hall would definitely think it was a mistake, giving up a great attack position to the enemy, but the one piloting the Manta was Li Chengxi, who was capable of challenging a ship alone, and Hall felt that he must have some plan.

Sure enough, when the pirates entered the best attack position and began to dive towards the Manta, it seemed as if it had eyes on its back. It immediately rolled half a circle with its butt facing up and pulled up the joystick with force.

The shells and ion beams flew past the edge of the belly of the Manta, and Hall felt that all the blood in his body was gathering in his head. Then he saw that the Manta had actually circled behind the pirate space fighter that had just wanted to dive and attack it.

The machine body shook slightly, and a precise short shot blew up the two pirate shuttles.

"What did you just do?"

Hall was shocked.

"Nothing much, just a typical anti-BZ strategy."

Dive attack, commonly known as BZ, is a flying posture of the attacker from top to bottom at an angle. It is easy to aim, has a high hit rate, and is safe and effective. During World War II, Germany's BF109 fighter was an expert in this trick.

This tactic evolved from the strategy of eagles preying on pigeons. It was very effective in dealing with the Soviet Union's low-speed pesticide machines in the early stages of the war and could be called a target practice.

But one tactic cannot always be effective. As one gets beaten more and more, countermeasures will naturally be developed.

The attacked aircraft flips over and pulls up, drawing a circle in the air.

The advantage of doing this is that the attacker will disappear from his sight the moment he moves, completely out of sight, and naturally cannot be aimed at.

Of course, this is just one way to break the BZ. Li Chengxi uses it because this trick can maximize the performance of the Manta.

The Manta's engine is installed on the wings, and the wings are variable wings, which gives the Manta's ordinary engine a certain vector propulsion capability.

Although at most it is a two-dimensional vector, that is, up and down, this advantage means that the Manta's dive and climb performance is much better than that of ordinary shuttles.

The result was that the pirate swooped down to attack Li Chengxi, but was instead bypassed by him and turned into an orange flash.

That’s right, Li Chengxi was just conducting a sting operation to see if the reckless man who pronounces “idiot” and writes “cute” would follow him. This trick is also very effective when playing games. It is a typical tactic for bullying newcomers.

Then he bent the joystick and the Manta entered a rolling flight state, which made Hall's eyes almost dizzy.

She saw the ion beams and shells fired from behind brush past the side of the Manta, fly in front of the cockpit glass, and finally disappear into the void.

"This is a defensive roller, a tactic used to disrupt the aiming of enemy aircraft behind you. However, the pilot needs to carefully observe the rear, otherwise he may not know whether the enemy is in chaos or not, and he may be the first to be dizzy."

Li Chengxi immediately broke away from the rolling flight state and climbed as if he was teaching Hall.

Hall was still wondering if Li Chengxi was demonstrating some new tactics, when he saw a beige beam of light coming from the direction of the pirates, which the Manta Ray barely avoided.

The fleet was right above us, and just now when we were rolling, we had unknowingly run into the area where the naval guns were exchanging fire.

But the pirate shuttle that was chasing the Manta Ray was not so lucky. It was hit by its own ship's guns and cremated on the spot.

"Luck? This is not luck."

The Manta dived again, facing the pursuing pirate fleet head-on without fear.

"When driving, you have to keep your eyes and ears alert, let alone when driving a shuttle."

Only then did Hall realize that Li Chengxi had deliberately led the pirates' shuttle into their own firing line.
