Chapter 1232: Meteorite Belt Lightning Strike Operation (7)

After being hit once, even the dumbest people would know to be prepared. The fleet that had just rushed out of the asteroid belt was about to face the interceptors of the Red Maple Republic.

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

When the fleet launched the second wave of attack, it was obvious that the number of interceptors had increased significantly. However, due to the lack of prior attention to air combat, the total number of carrier-based aircraft that could be temporarily assembled was less than four hundred.

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

The disadvantage of the Xuanshui Federation is that all of its space fighters are fully loaded, and they cannot drop torpedoes at will before reaching attack distance, which means that they have a lot of dead weight, resulting in a significant decrease in maneuverability.

But the advantage is that the number is huge.

As we enter the era of digitalization and beyond-visual-range strikes, the number of fighter jets is not a decisive factor. Although Alyssa is in the interstellar age, her tactics are still classical World War II or even World War I tactics, and this applies to everything from battleships to fighter jets.

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

Today's space fighter wars are nothing more than the most classic machine gun duel, with numbers playing a decisive factor.

The pilots of the Red Maple Republic were obviously not stupid. Once they saw the number of aircraft that had escaped from the meteorite belt, they knew that a head-on confrontation would be a death struggle.

They immediately broke up into small groups and launched repeated harassment operations against the fighter planes of the Xuanshui Federation. In layman's terms, they used assassin tactics, firing one shot and running away, taking advantage of their high speed and high flexibility without torpedoes mounted, not being greedy or finishing off the enemy, and just killing as many as they could.

However, since the fighter planes of the Xuanshui Federation were equipped with torpedoes, it was actually very troublesome to chase them. This tactic obviously slowed down the advancement speed of the fleet.

However, on the battlefield, it is always the case that you have a plan and I have a ladder to climb over the wall. Soon, the flight commander sent a new order.

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

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

A large formation of nearly 3,000 fighter planes could not be stopped by less than 400 fighter planes. After all, the performance of the aircraft on both sides was similar. After dropping the torpedoes, they turned into escort aircraft in seconds and indeed broke through the blockade quickly.

What they have to face next is the fleet's air defense firepower network that has been ready for a long time.

The Red Maple Republic learned the lesson from the first wave of attacks. They made air defense adjustments specifically targeting the wave-like attack tactics of space fighters, and a large number of destroyers specialized in regional air defense were placed in front of the flight path of the fleet.

This place is like a hell of steel storms.

The high-speed flying shrapnel makes the fighter's shield 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, and you can't even hear any useful information.

The flight commander still did not send an attack order. I don’t know whether he felt the distance was not enough or the flight commander had been killed.

Hall pushed the accelerator, and her vehicle rotated left and pressed down. The nose of the plane swung and aimed at an enemy plane that had just tried to attack her and escape. A long burst of ion beams and machine guns turned the enemy into sparks.

This move is completely copied from Li Chengxi, but you have to admit, the effect is really good. Of course, 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 in real battlefields, but they can also be used in the game.

However, the newly added achievement did not make Hall happy at all. She held the joystick tightly with both hands and kept looking up, down, left and right through the cockpit.

Li Chengxi and the lionfish have completely disappeared. The most you can see is some flashes of purple and red against the dark background of the universe, but you have no idea where they are.

What's even more incredible is that Li Chengxi didn't go far this time. According to normal operations, Li Chengxi would have left the fleet behind and gone on his own. It was not surprising that he had destroyed two warships at this time.

Although Li Chengxi is willful and reckless, he still cares a lot about his own people. In this case, when pilots are just cannon fodder, what is being tested is not how strong your flying skills are, but whether your horoscope is strong enough.

The reason why an ace is an ace is because he has a strong life, not because he cannot be shot down.

If you walk too far in this environment, you won't even have a chance to save people.

But then again, I'm afraid I can't go any further.

The main target of the second attack was actually the Red Maple Republic's reactor jammer, which was 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.

It is now difficult for the fleet to advance even at the edge of the fleet. If it continues to push forward, it will eventually be completely wiped out.

Besides, the interceptors from the Red Maple Republic are coming again.

The Red Maple Republic fleet must have brought aircraft carriers as well, but the number was not as many as what the Xuanshui Federation had prepared in advance. The first wave of carrier-based aircraft did not work, but the second wave of carrier-based aircraft combined with the destroyer's anti-aircraft firepower would have a major impact on the fleet.

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

"Waypoints have been set, attack points have been determined, all fighters, drop bombs and return according to the flight plan."

The onboard star map immediately synchronized the data. Hall pulled up the joystick, and the fleet of aircraft, advancing in the rain of anti-aircraft fire, immediately headed for the attack point to drop bombs.

A huge wave of carrier-based aircraft rolled up in the void again. One after another, void torpedoes broke away from the launch pads, ignited briefly to accelerate, and 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 Swirling Federation fighter to the approaching torpedoes.

The anti-aircraft guns of a destroyer in the path of the torpedoes were almost melted, but it could not stop such a large-scale saturation attack. The torpedoes were fully utilized on the spot and the destroyer 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 concealed. It is difficult to detect by radar and lock visually. The disadvantage is that it is too slow and the hit depends entirely on luck.

Hall also reached the attack position and pressed the launch button. He could clearly feel that the space fighter had become much lighter. However, Hall did not have time to see whether the torpedo had 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.
