Chapter 263 Alien Floating Cannons

After climbing to a high altitude, the speed of the J15S piloted by the little chicken dropped significantly. After performing an Immelmann turn in the air, the aircraft leveled off and observed the battlefield from high altitude.

The battle on the battlefield below was extremely intense. After being injured, Coin immediately withdrew from the battlefield, leaving only Fat Fish's J15T and Pufferfish's J15S locked in combat with this special Type 2 aircraft.

The chick observed the characteristics of this Type 2 aircraft and discovered that, in addition to its shield system, this special Type 2 aircraft was also quite powerful. Besides the standard Type 2 laser main cannon, it also had two parallel pulse laser cannons.

The anti-laser aerosol launched by the fat fish forms a hazy gray area in the air. Each time a pulse of laser enters, it plows a deep line in the gray fog and causes a series of explosions along the firing path due to the burning of the resin particle aerosol. Finally, it extinguishes when its energy is exhausted.

As the thick aerosol protective layer was continuously consumed and thinned at a visible rate, the little chicken prepared to fly over the battlefield and launch an attack on this very special Type 2 aircraft from the rear hemisphere.

Below, Fat Fish used flares to defend against the enemy's attack, pulling his aircraft and the Type 2 to maintain a steady turn, hoping that the enemy would circle in the air like him, further reducing the enemy's speed and creating an opportunity for his comrades.

However, the Type 2 alien pilot had no intention of being pulled into a stable position, and instead chose to break away in a straight line to preserve speed.

After breaking away, it flew straight towards the sea. However, because the fat fish was turning around, its speed decreased significantly, and it would take a lot of time to catch up and accelerate again.

"Damn it! This thing!"

At this moment, the pilots realized that the pilot of the alien spacecraft had a clear purpose and had no intention of getting entangled with them, so they chose to disengage directly to complete their mission first.

Halfway through its circle, the fat fish rolled 90 degrees and pulled back on the stick to chase after the Type 2 aircraft. Seeing the enemy constantly widening the distance, it launched the last PL-10 missile from the wingtip pylon, launching a tail-chase attack on the enemy from behind.

With a whoosh, the PL-10 rocket engine roared as it ignited, chasing after the Type 2 missile. The missile didn't intend to shoot it down; rather, it aimed to force the enemy to slow down when the shield system was running low on energy, and then entangle it once again.

The missile's infrared seeker was focused on the Type 2 aircraft's heat source. At Mach 3.5, the two aircraft rapidly closed the distance, and then the missile crashed into the Type 2's shield. A large amount of lethal energy was ejected, but the aircraft only shook slightly.

At this point, no orders were needed. Fat Fish and Pufferfish piloted their aircraft to pursue from behind, while Chicken, who had planned to launch a sneak attack from high altitude, had to change tactics. It rolled 180 degrees and swooped down from high altitude, using altitude to gain speed in a short time to quickly close the distance with the alien spacecraft.

The chick looked at the square on the HUD and heard the weapons officer's voice from the back seat: "Should we launch the missile?"

"No, wait a minute."

After considering the situation, the chicken decided to first weaken the opponent's shield system with the machine gun, and then finish them off with a missile. It could also interfere with the opponent's escape when they tried to run away, just like before.

1000800500
Ding! The machine gun safety on the control stick was released, and the index finger pressed on the trigger, pulling it.

With a series of rapid bursts, the electrically activated GSH30-1 fired a barrage of machine gun fire. Guided by tracer rounds, the trajectories of the machine guns were clearly visible. Most of the machine gun fire grazed the area around the target, while a few semi-armor-piercing grenades struck the shield. As they were blocked, the shield's color could be seen to darken again.

"Its shield is about to give way!"

The chick glanced at the remaining ammunition; there were less than 70 rounds left. In just one short window, more than half of the ammunition had been fired. This was the normal way a machine gun fires: more than half is fired in the first window, and then the remaining ammunition is used sparingly. "Hey? Chick, have you noticed? Their shields are very weak against armor-piercing rounds!"

This round of attacks clearly revealed that the alien civilization's shield was highly resistant to explosions and impacts, but insufficient against armor-piercing projectiles. The shield was significantly weakened after just one round of machine gun fire.

"Indeed, if I were a little more accurate."

The little chicken stared intently at the HUD display, where the frame representing alien civilization kept shifting left and right, making it impossible for him to maintain shooting accuracy. The ballistic computer's crosshair kept shaking, and he could only patiently wait for the most suitable moment to fire.

The Type 2 fighter jet in front kept swaying left and right, while the fighter jet piloted by the little chicken also swayed left and right, trying to find the most suitable angle of attack. Another J-15T and J-15S were chasing behind.

Thud thud thud!
Another burst of machine gun fire was fired, but according to the tracer rounds, more than thirty machine gun shots did not hit the target, but instead flew past the enemy.

The chick frowned. The enemy felt like a slippery eel, difficult to hit. With less than 30 machine gun rounds left, it seemed unlikely to hit the enemy.

"Prepare to launch missiles!"

"understand!"

The radar officer activated the PL10's seeker, while the pilot in the front seat continued adjusting the cannon's aim, hoping to shoot down the enemy with the last bit of cannon fire.

Beep beep beep. Just as the buzzing sound of the missile's seeker activating rang in their ears, the Type 2 missile ahead suddenly made a move that was beyond their expectations.

Suddenly, the decorative-like objects surrounding the Type 2 mech detached, and then these 3-meter-long crystals darted through the air like swimming fish, tracing arcs as they pointed their crystal heads at them.

Even without knowing what these crystals were, the chick sensed danger!

The lever was immediately pulled away from the previous flight path, and the radar officer in the back seat launched the PL10 off-axis.

Swish!
Swish!
The four small crystals that flew out shot out laser beams that were not very thick. Two of the laser beams did not hit the J-15T, while the other two laser beams hit the wings and the back of the aircraft.

The pulsed laser burned the coating with high energy, and the coating reduced the laser damage by evaporation. The remaining energy burned two dark red areas on the surface of the fuselage. There were traces of partial melting on the fuselage skin, and the aileron servo on the right wing seemed to be malfunctioning and was very unresponsive.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong! The alarm sounded. The little chicken looked at the alarm and saw that some internal circuits were damaged, but the J15T had enough redundancy to not lose its combat capability.

"What are these things?"

After the machine was damaged, the little chicken tried its best to maneuver the machine to avoid the attacks of the crystals. The two comrades following behind also had to choose to launch two missiles on their wingtips to help their comrades out of the predicament.
