Chapter 1328: Space Fortress, Ilxia Offensive Operation (3)

A final flight check before the attack was necessary, but it didn't take much time. Thirty seconds later, the cables securing the Silver Tornado were loosened and pulled away, all staff members hid at a safe distance, and the airlock door was opened at the same time.

Hall took a deep breath, activated the Silver Cyclone Void Thruster, and accelerated through the airlock.

In the past, when flying a space fighter, you would sit in the cockpit, holding the joystick, and feel like you were down to earth.

But the cockpit of the Silver Cyclone has been changed to a circumstellar display. No matter which direction you look, up, down, left or right, you can see the deep void background.

The human body is basically in a standing position, with only half of the buttocks hanging on the seat behind. In this weightless environment, the first thing experienced is a strong feeling of dizziness.

This is normal. When astronauts are walking in space, they will feel dizzy and nauseous because they cannot distinguish up, down, left, and right. They can only make up for it through training.

"how do you feel?"

A white mecha supported the silver tornado that was about to deviate from its course, and Li Chengxi's voice came from the intercom.

Hall shook his head vigorously:

"It's okay. I've gotten used to it."

After all, he is a pilot of a space fighter, so he has the ability to adapt quickly.

At this time, a large number of friendly space fighters had also set off and began to quickly form around the two people.

He was probably curious about these two mechas. After all, the main carrier-based aircraft of the Xuanshui Federation are still space fighters.

As usual, Li Chengxi did not form a formation with anyone. After Hall regained consciousness, he talked with friendly forces while checking the status of their weapons.

By this time the engine lights of the enemy's space fighters could be clearly seen, and an exchange of fire was expected within ten minutes.

The ion beams of the Swan and other cruisers illuminated the cockpit. They were carrying out targeted elimination of firepower on the surface of the fortress. The current task of the carrier-based aircraft was to prevent the enemy from getting close to harass and to cover the armored transport ships in transporting troops to the fortress for offensive operations.

It was precisely this combat purpose that made Hall choose this battle as her first battle driving the Silver Tornado. When fighting in complex areas, space fighters are indeed not as flexible as magic mechas.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Since they had used large fleets to intercept the Red Maple Republic fleet, in order to ensure sufficient numbers, the Xuanshui Federation recruited a large number of pilots from the public and temporarily converted a large number of cargo ships into aircraft carriers.

We can't just retire these troops and send them home after the war, right? That would be a waste.

So these pilots and the modified aircraft carriers were reorganized and assigned to the fleet that was implementing the Meteor Operation Plan.

The Third and Fifth Fleets, which are currently attacking the space fortress Ilsha, are also fleets that participated in Operation Meteor. As a result, the number of their carrier-based aircraft far exceeds the standards of a normal fleet.

The fighter planes of the Red Maple Republic that took off from the space fortress Ilxia did not even have a numerical advantage, and the two sides quickly engaged in a fight after getting close.

Every time I see this scene, I feel it is outrageous. Space fighters actually use machine guns to compete with each other. However, in the ultra-high-speed machine gun bombardment, the pilots feel not outrageous, but rather, "Oh my God!"

Looking from the cockpit, there are fighter planes everywhere. Often you can't even tell which is the enemy and which is the friendly. You need to quickly identify the paint on the fuselage to ensure that you don't hit your teammates. This also makes every pilot's eyes move up and down, left and right like cramps. They need to confirm whether the target is an enemy in a very short time, and they also need to complete the attack within a very short shooting window, and they must also ensure their own safety.

It’s no wonder that everyone chooses to fly in formation; it’s hard to keep up with it all by yourself.

In this regard, the Silver Cyclone's circumferential display cockpit has an advantage. If you want to see if there is someone following you while piloting a space fighter, you have to use the rearview mirror to identify them, but when piloting a Silver Cyclone, you only need to look back.

It felt like Hall was standing in the middle of the battlefield wearing a protective suit, with a panoramic view of all directions.

It has to be said that the magic mecha is indeed much better than the space fighter in terms of operability. This alone is enough to make it the most powerful backup for cannon fodder.

With her finger on the trigger of the 40mm rapid-fire cannon, Hall shot down an enemy that tried to attack her formation from below. Although the Silver Tornado was only armed with this thing, its power was much greater than the 20mm cannon of the space fighter, and a burst of fire was enough to destroy the space fighter's shield.

This success made Hall relax a little, but the urgent alarm sounding in the cockpit made her nerves tense again.

His teammate on the left instantly turned into a bright orange flash, and Hall immediately realized that the enemy had circled behind him.

The mass transfer system and attitude control nozzle of the magic mecha allowed the Silver Tornado to quickly complete the turning action. Hall held the rapid-fire machine gun modified from the 40mm rapid-fire cannon in both hands, and a series of tracer bullets drew a conspicuous arc and fired out.

A three-plane formation appeared behind Hall like a ghost, without anyone knowing when, but they didn't expect the Silver Tornado to turn around so quickly.

One of the space fighters exploded on the spot, and the other two maneuvered separately, one up and one down.

The speed of the space fighter was still very fast. When Hall aimed hastily, she did not fire in advance enough, and many shells brushed past the enemy fighter's tail flames. She immediately readjusted according to the position of the tracer bullets, and thus defeated the space fighter that was maneuvering downward.

But there was another space fighter maneuvering and diving down from above, and when Hall tried to raise the muzzle of his gun, the ion beams on both sides of the opponent's wings had already lit up with energy-accumulating lights.

Of the two teammates around him, one had just been blown up, and the other couldn't turn around like the Silver Tornado, and was currently turning around and unable to provide support.

At this moment, a flashy white shadow broke into Hall's field of vision, and with a flying kick, it directly kicked the cockpit of the space fighter that was trying to attack, and its foot directly blew the cockpit apart. Hall could even see the blood and broken glass spurting out of the cockpit at that moment.

Then, the space fighter turned into a bright orange flash.

"You don't need to hold the gun with both hands. The Silver Cyclone's specifications are enough to control the 40mm rapid-fire cannon with one hand. The only problem is that the accuracy is a little bit worse."

Li Chengxi's voice said through the friendly channel:

"Unfold the shield on your left arm. When you're piloting a magic mech, don't think of it like a space fighter. Imagine yourself standing on the battlefield. The logic of behavior is different."

Compared to Hall, Li Chengxi's ability to adapt is very fast, incredibly fast.

The faint light from the head viewfinder first passed through the flames spreading from the explosion, and a mecha that looked much more bloated than the Silver Tornado emerged from the flames.

But despite its bulky and slow configuration, Li Chengxi seemed to be able to predict attacks. He dodged a string of tracer bullets and raised the weapon similar to a rocket launcher in his right hand. A series of light green beams shot out from the rocket launcher, turning the entire third-level formation into flashes.

His movements are precise and continuous, without any unnecessary operations, which greatly makes up for the shortcomings of the machine's lack of flexibility and speed.
