Chapter 23 Fighter Dispatched (Dragon Boat Festival)
"This is the Zerg anti-aircraft artillery. It seems that these bugs do not welcome us. Captains of all ships must be careful not to be hit by them. This is weapons-grade plasma. Once hit, you can think about the consequences yourself.
, the old-fashioned spaceships don’t have protective covers!”
Dean drank black tea and ate pastries and looked at the patches of plasma below the fleet.
"There are so many plasma bugs. If we don't clean them up, the next landing operation will be difficult to carry out!"
The adjutant next to Dean immediately turned on the communicator.
"Marshal Dean ordered to send out aerial combat aircraft to clear the plasma bugs on the ground, and other spaceships should stay away from the plasma bugs' attack range."
They have also been fighting against the Zerg for many years, and they still have an understanding of the attack range of the plasma bugs.
As a result, a large number of spaceships flew to twice the distance from the ground to the moon. This place was already outside the range of the plasma bug attack. This safe distance was a safe distance for the captains of the Starfleet, and they had to sacrifice countless lives in exchange for it.
of.
The small number of spaceships that did not fly out of the attack range opened the hatches on both sides of their hulls, and aerial combat aircraft flew out from inside. They were all in the style of fixed-wing aircraft in the modern world. I don’t know if they were anything.
Nostalgic complex, otherwise why would it be done like this.
However, these aircraft are indeed very fast, at least dozens of times the speed of sound, and I don’t know how they overcome their overload.
The main world relies on its own strong physical fitness to overcome it, while the Elysian Space relies on the cabin environment balance system to eliminate overload.
These pilots were extremely light when flying the plane, weaving left and right inside the plasma balls, and entered the atmosphere bit by bit.
"After everyone obeyed the order and entered the atmosphere, they immediately used multi-warhead missiles to clear the equatorial area to facilitate the landing of troops."
A female voice appeared in the communication channel. In Starfleet, women account for about 80% of the positions of pilots and captains, so it is not unusual for the commander of the aerospace plane to be a woman.
Everyone obeyed the commander's order and opened the launch button cover, and started the countdown.
"Five, four, three, two, one, launch."
As the aerospace aircraft formation commander's countdown ended, everyone broke through the clouds and entered the high altitude of the planet. They collectively pressed the Ding switch of the missile launcher at the first time.
As for aiming and target setting, there is no need at all. What they are doing now is to clean up the bugs on the ground, and this planet is the home of the Zerg, so they can just blow up the ground.
As they pressed the button, missiles were launched one after another. These missiles decomposed into dozens of small warheads in the air and began to fly irregularly towards the ground.
Just as these warheads disintegrated, an overwhelming number of jumpers flew out from the cliffs and flew towards the missiles, hoping to detonate these warheads with their own bodies.
"The jumpers are flying, they're flying!"
A sharp-eyed pilot discovered this incident and immediately informed everyone on the communication channel.
"Are you kidding? Jumpers can only glide in the air for short to medium distances. The distance still depends on the height from which they jumped. You must have been drinking before boarding the plane!"
Other pilots did not believe that the Jumper could fly at all. They had been fighting against the Zerg for decades, but they had never seen a flying bug.
"Oh shit, they really can fly, my wing is broken and I'm going to crash!"
A female pilot screamed on the communication channel.
Not just her, a large number of pilots shouted on the channel that they were attacked by flying jumpers.
The noisy sound was also heard above the fleet.
"Friends in the audience, I am Domirian. We are currently attacking the planet Clandaff. We have been attacked by Zerg anti-aircraft artillery. Marshal Dean has ordered the air and space fighter units to clean the ground. This is our Federation.
It is a classic tactic. It has been tried and tested over the years against the Zerg. Who told the Zerg to only crawl on the ground? It is such a pitiful creature that has not made any progress in so many years. It is so boring. It seems that this is another
It was an armed march victory."
Just as Mustache Domirian finished speaking, the voices of the pilots rang out from the spacecraft. They were attacked by flying jumpers.
Domirian felt as if he had been slapped when he heard these words, his face turned ugly.
But not only did he look ugly, the officers and scientific researchers of the Federation also looked ugly. The flying jumpers were a huge threat. You must know that having an air force and not having an air force on the battlefield are completely different concepts.
In the past, humans relied on the advantage of the air force, but now the Zerg also has an air force. No matter how good the air force is, the previous air-to-ground advantage is gone forever.
The captains of all the money-line colonial planets have sent messages that they want a lot of anti-aircraft firepower, the more the better.
When people on the earth saw this scene, they thought it was magical, or that the Zerg had evolved, while the military commanders on the frontline planet and the administrators of the planet were all breaking out in cold sweats.
They know that every time a new evolutionary category appears in the Zerg race, the bugs on any planet will evolve correspondingly. This is something that all scientists cannot explain.
Marshal Dean was also frowning at this time, but he knew about this.
"Switch those mothership cameras immediately. I want to see these flying bugs."
His lieutenant immediately projected the holographic image in front of Dean.
"Damn bugs!"
Dean didn't need to look at anything else but the leaper's wings, which had doubled in size, to know that this thing could indeed fly.
"The missile launch is completed, we request retreat!"
The female commander of the air and space fighter force sent a request in the communication channel, and her business was a little flustered.
No one blamed her for this. After all, everyone would panic if they suddenly encountered flying enemies, not to mention they didn't have anti-aircraft weapons.
"Permission to retreat."
Dean immediately issued the order, and the aerospace planes immediately flew towards the mothership.
The missiles they launched before also finished their countdown and began to explode. Thousands of mushroom clouds rose from the planet.
The bugs on the ground were either blown to pieces or made into barbecues in the explosion. Although the plasma bugs can produce plasma inside their bodies, their bodies are not so tough. They were blown away by the mushroom clouds.
The shock wave exploded as soon as it hit, and the plasma in the stomach splashed into a large area driven by the shock wave. All the spider-shaped insects that were sputtered were penetrated by the plasma.
Chapter completed!
