547. The Bloody Battle of Bespin (Interlude: E-3 Squadron)

After the last fierce strangulation, less than 400 of the first batch of 1,500 vulture robot fighters that took off in the Fourth Civilization were left, and 7 of the 100 Guard-class light air defense destroyers were destroyed.

But more than 800 of the 2,000 V-19 Torrent light fighters that the Galactic Republic took off were also destroyed, and space was littered with mutilated, frozen corpses of pilots.

Although the driving threshold of star fighters and even spaceships has been lowered a lot due to the development of automation and intelligent technology in the galaxy, every pilot also needs to undergo strict screening and at least 8 months to a year of training. . And because the treatment of pilots is not bad, many of them are also able to get married and have children in peacetime.

But now, maybe less than 5 minutes after takeoff, with the fighter jets that accompanied them for months and piloted tens of thousands of credits, they turned into dust in the cold space.

For those in power, waging war is just a game that can be played on the table, and every single digit in the long list of numbers may mean the rise and fall of several families.

But intelligent creatures still enjoy it.

From the time when a stone axe was slapped on the head of a compatriot in the primitive society because of the ownership of a prey, to the interstellar era where a city and even a planet could be slaughtered by pressing a button...

War never changes.

Just as now, when the wreckage of the previous batch of fighter jets was still floating in the nearby airspace, the second batch of 2,000 fighter jets of the Galactic Republic had arrived, and the fierce battle began again...

New corpses also began to be made again.

Matt Horner took off more than 1,000 Vultures again, and that's all he has left on his 10 Sovclass aircraft carriers.

But it wasn't just the last force in his hands.

A squadron of Z-95 headhunter fighter jets swept through space at high speed. The squadron leader and the driver looked at the dashboard in front of him to confirm his position.

"E-3 Squadron, you are about to enter the key firepower area of the opponent's No. 16 battleship. The current distance is 174 kilometers. Their turrets are aiming in your direction, please pay attention to avoid it." The news of the flight control came from the communication.

The squadron captain looked out the window. Although the position of the No. 16 battleship was still out of sight, under the reflection of the huge gas giant planet Bespin, some black dots could still be faintly seen, and there were flickering dots. The light also comes on from time to time.

An alarm sounded in the cabin. This was an alarm that was targeted by the enemy's fire control radar. The squadron leader and other fighters immediately began to turn and make irregular evasive maneuvers.

Bunch of bright laser beams continued to irradiate, but all of them were avoided by these pilots in advance.

"Confirm the position of the opponent's No. 14 battleship." The squadron leader said while adjusting the equipment in the cockpit.

"The separatist Cole-class battlecruiser, number 14, the enemy's name Jianghai, was penetrated by our Roscoe battleship 2 minutes ago. According to the optical scan, there are 5 fire points, and they are accelerating at 80G. Step back, it is 2103.3 kilometers away from you now." The flight control center replied.

"Apply to change the target and attack the opponent's No. 16 ship." The squadron commander said.

"I-5 Squadron, I-7 Squadron and I-10 Squadron are performing the attack mission of No. 16 ship, and the application is rejected." The flight control center paused for two seconds, and then added, "According to the latest scan results, No. 14 The fire point of the ship has been extinguished. It is detected that the cannons on the bow are charging. They have not lost their combat effectiveness. Please continue to attack. The armor of the opposing warship is very thick, so be careful."

At the same time, a view of the No. 14 Cole-class battlecruiser came from the flying eyepiece, and the position of the fire point and the energy response of the central 40m-caliber metamaterial electromagnetic gun being charged were marked with light spots.

"E-3 received." After finishing speaking, the squadron leader pushed the joystick and flew straight towards Battleship No. 14, followed by other fighter jets in the squadron.

The anti-aircraft fire from the front is getting more and more intensive, and there are more and more lasers. The electronic system keeps marking them the positions of the turrets that are charging and firing at them, but even this still cannot escape them all.

One of the fighter jets in the squadron was hit by a beam of near-anti-aircraft lasers. The shield was suddenly overloaded, and the capacitor started to catch fire. "I was hit! The pilot exclaimed."

The robot on the fighter immediately began to repair, but still could not stop the fire from spreading. At this moment, another laser beam irradiated the fighter, and the entire Z-95 fighter was suddenly turned into a ball of fire by the high temperature, and the driver screamed. It exploded and decomposed.

"They killed Jeff!" another driver roared.

"It's an anti-aircraft destroyer! It's 192 kilometers away, and it's approaching us! There's another one at 7 o'clock!"

"Keep the formation and avoid it!" The squadron leader said immediately, and they fired a wave of blasters according to the coordinates provided by the flight control center. Regardless of whether there was a hit or not, the squadron leader looked over there and said, "Shoot protons. torpedo!"

"Too far, Captain, it won't work!" said one pilot.

"But it'll take the pressure off us! Launch!"

The proton torpedo mounted under the wing of the Z-95 fighter was ignited and launched immediately. The blue plasma flame was inconspicuous in the dark cosmic background, but it was extremely powerful.

Sure enough, the anti-aircraft firepower in this direction was much less. The squadron leader immediately led his subordinates to continue approaching the target. A few seconds later, the system sent a signal that the proton torpedo was intercepted, and the frontal anti-aircraft firepower was strengthened again.

Another group of V-19 riptide fighters approached them, and the communication said: "We will perform **** work, the Vulture fighters in this area have been cleared, and we will deal with those anti-aircraft destroyers, you remember to shoot proton torpedoes at those separated In the eyes of the philistine."

"Leave it to me, brother." The squadron leader replied with a thumbs up on the screen.

That group of V-19 torrent fighters flew over immediately and fired a wave of missiles at a guard-class light air defense destroyer in front, and then surrounded the past like locusts, continuously firing blasters and missiles, which really attracted the opponent's look,

The heavy turbo laser cannon of the warship in the rear shot over, directly destroying the shield of the guard class, and then it was continuously hit by the blasting energy beam and missiles of the V-19 fighter, and the hull began to catch fire and emerge. Billowing smoke.

However, the remaining 5 close-in guns on the Guard-class air defense destroyer were still firing non-stop, and even shot down 3 V-19 fighter jets, including the one with whom he had just spoken.

"A Higrclass Separatist is turning and accelerating, and the route intersects with you. Be careful to avoid it." Before the squadron captain sighed, the voice of the flight control came from the communication.

As soon as the voice of the flight control fell, the squadron leader only saw a flat streamlined warship approaching at an extremely fast speed. Within a few seconds, it quickly approached from the visual distance and occupied the entire field of vision!

The Z-95 squadron swept past the 1,009-meter huge hull of the Higuerclass battlecruiser. The squadron leader could even see the heavy particle beam cannon at the front of the battleship emitting a dazzling beam of light. It was our warship that was hit.

The near-fire cannons above the Higuerclass battlecruisers fired frantically. The powerful firepower immediately dispersed their squadron, and another fighter was shot down.

"No! Andy!! You **** of separatism!" a pilot shouted, angrily steering the fighter into a dive, and fired 4 proton torpedoes in a row at the Higuerclass battlecruiser!

"Terry! Come back!!" As soon as the squadron leader finished speaking, the fighter jet was concentratedly fired by the Higrclass near-fire cannons, and it exploded into pieces in an instant.

At the same time, four light blue proton clouds exploded on the Higuera class, the shield flickered for a while, and the battleship quickly flew away.

"Battleship 14! Just ahead! 120 kilometers! Their shields haven't been recirculated yet!" one pilot exclaimed.

However, almost at this moment, an extremely dazzling light was instantly launched from there! This ray of light is so huge that it seems to this fighter squadron that it is in a dazzling river of light! For a time, their entire eyes were dazzled by this light, but fortunately, the system automatically closed their eyepieces, so that their eyes would not be blinded by this light.

This light is several kilometers away from them, but the powerful power also makes their system flash for a while.

"The fighter is out of control! I..." Before a fighter pilot could finish speaking, he was continuously hit by oncoming anti-aircraft fire, and the fighter immediately exploded into a ball of fire.

The speed of the fighter jets was extremely fast, and within a few seconds of all this happening, their target, the battleship No. 14, appeared in the full dive!

This is a Cole-class battlecruiser. The station construction and completely different style from the Galactic Republic stimulated their attention. This large-headed and small-sized warship is constantly using the four doors in front of it. The heavy laser cannon fired. At the center of the bow, the muzzle of the 40m-caliber super-giant gun was still flushed red, and white smoke was constantly spewing out. This was the coolant cooling the muzzle.

And it can be clearly seen that there are five huge defects on this battle cruiser, the largest one is almost more than 10 meters wide, and many spherical drones are urgently repairing the defects of the battleship.

"They're repairing warships with drones!" exclaimed one pilot. "There must be a drone mothership nearby!"

"Focus on our target! Launch the proton torpedo!" exclaimed the squadron leader with rage.

At this time, the voice of the flight control suddenly came from the communication, "E-3 Squadron, there are a lot of weak radar responses in front of you! Please pay attention!"

"You bastard, what is a weak radar response!" the squadron leader yelled.

But he knew right away what that meant!

In the empty space ahead, more than a dozen missiles suddenly appeared out of thin air. Because these missiles were launched at extremely close distances, there was almost no possibility of evasion!

The three fighter jets in the squadron were hit almost at the same time, and were instantly blown into countless pieces!

"It's a stealth fighter! Be careful!!!" the squadron leader exclaimed, his flying skills were extremely skilled, he immediately rolled in the air several times, and fired induced bombs at the same time, and finally escaped the catastrophe, and at the same time his aircraft There was finally a weak radar response on the onboard radar.

One-sided air combat immediately unfolded around the 1,100-meter-long Cole-class battlecruiser.

There was almost no pause, and several pulsed lasers were fired. The squadron leader avoided this completely unpredictable fire by half guessing and half relying on the sky, but the fighter was still caught by the Cole-class battlecruiser in front of him. The fire resistance hit, the shield capacitor was overloaded and damaged, and then the fighter was hit by a pulsed laser from a stealth fighter. The navigation robot was immediately destroyed, and thick smoke billowed in front of the plane, even blocking his vision.

The remaining fighters in the squadron also entered the fray, firing indiscriminately at these invisible enemies before being destroyed one by one.

The squadron leader ripped off the nameplate on his shoulder, which read his name and numberGalactic Republic, Grand Republic Army, 19th Corps, 1102nd Flying Group, E-3 Squadron, Captain, McStow. Hometown: Planet Coruscant, 2144th Floor, G-7 Residential Area, Street...

Then he opened a small drawer in the cockpit. At the same time, a small holographic projector projected a family of three reunited images, a 20-year-old wife, a 4-year-old child, and a 28-year-old husband-Mcstor .

He put the nameplate in the small drawer, and looked up at the huge Cole-class battlecruiser in front of him, his eyes almost bursting with flames, "Come on!! You despicable separatists!! Taste you Grandpa Republic is amazing!!!"

The speed of the Z-95 Headhunter fighter was increased as much as possible, and all the induced bombs, smoke, etc. in the fighter were launched, and his target was the biggest damage gap on this warship!

The battleship immediately dispatched two close-up turrets to attack him, and several invisible ghost fighters followed him and continued to fire, but the squadron commander Mike Stowe was like a **** at this time, and he avoided it. Most of the attacks!

He is a weak force sensitive person!

At this moment, under the burning of life and soul, he actually burst out with the power to approach the Jedi apprentice!

But the miracle would not last, and the near-fire cannon finally hit his fighter. The moment before the fighter was hit, McStowe seemed to have a heart-to-heart and pressed the launch button.

At the same time that the fighter was completely torn apart by the near-fire resistance, two proton torpedoes were launched, and they drilled into the biggest gap in this Cole-class battlecruiser almost instantly!

Immediately after that, there was a pale blue cloud of protons, followed by the collapse and expansion of matter, and a huge burst of energy...

"The Cole-class battlecruiser Jianghai was severely damaged by a suicide attack by Republic fighter jets, her energy supply dropped to 16%, and she requested to evacuate."

Matt Horner looked at the report in front of him~www.mtlnovel.com~ and nodded, expressionless.

At this moment, on the battlefield in Bespin's outer space, hundreds of ghost fighter jets suddenly appeared into stealth mode, and began to launch an almost ruthless slaughter on the invading Galactic Republic fighter group!

The Republic's fighter jets had almost no chance of finding a stealthy ghost fighter at the ideal engagement distance, and the flight control and command center of the Chaser-class battlecruisers behind them had already been so busy that they could not effectively command such fighter jets!

Countless fighter jets were destroyed, countless pilots died...

The battle continues, it keeps getting brutal...

like the war,

War... War never changes.
