"...All teams, our mission is to escort the transport ship into orbit. It has almost no maneuverability in the atmosphere and can only sail along a fixed route. We must ensure that there are no Tyranid flying creatures blocking its sailing path."
Kano's voice echoed among the various squadrons of the Lachem Company. Due to the expansion of the size of the legion, the size of one squadron in the past was obviously not enough, so Soshyan transferred the Lachem Squadron to the previous legion system reform.
Separately taken from the fourth company of the Astral Knights, combined with part of the flight formation of the White Templar, they formed the Rahm Wing. In fact, it can be regarded as an independent company. Kano was also promoted from a non-commissioned officer to a wing captain, and together with
Company commanders are at the same level.
However, Kano still served in the Astral Knights most of the time, and served as the squadron leader of the 1st Flying Squadron. Not all of the four squadrons under the Rahm Wing were in the Astral Knights, and two squadrons were in Africa.
In the assembly state, following the White Templar, the reorganized Rahm Wing has 48 Voss Strike Lightning fighters.
In the previous naval battle, the Rahm Alliance had a fierce battle with the Tyranids' void creatures. With the superior performance of the Voss Strike Lightning and the far superior reaction capabilities of the Space Marines, the entire company was able to record
The number of enemies destroyed exceeded 3,000, as well as countless spore clusters, without any casualties.
However, after entering the ground evacuation phase, due to the significant increase in the number of ships, there was no need for these precious fighters to continue venturing in the void, so Soshyan deployed them all to the planet to assist in the evacuation operation.
Tyranids can sense life signals, and they will definitely look at transport ships filled with refugees. Transport ships are actually very fragile in the atmosphere. First, they are slow, and second, they are inflexible. As a civilian ship, their structural strength is not enough.
, once it is besieged by Tyranid flying creatures, it will be easily destroyed or even crashed, or it may be invaded into the ship.
When the first transport ship rose to an altitude of about five thousand meters above the ground, black smoke composed of countless gargoyles swooped out from the clouds, mixed with some large creatures. Under their huge wings, they carried
The tentacle biological missiles are constantly twisting and ready to go.
"Large group of biota found, six o'clock direction!"
Kano receives signals gathered from all directions and responds quickly.
"The second squadron is to intercept the enemy in the eleven o'clock direction. The third and fourth squadrons are to intercept the enemy in the six o'clock direction. The remaining Thunder Squadrons continue the escort mission. The first squadron is to intercept the enemy in the three o'clock direction and give priority to the enemy.
The witch opens fire."
"See the enemy visually!"
As the engine of Voss Lightning roared, numerous Tyranid flying creatures appeared in the observation mirror.
The huge sky witches were surrounded by gargoyles. They were hidden in the human shields composed of many small creatures. Their vicious and cold eyes were fixed on the transport ship that was struggling to rush towards the atmosphere.
But before that, their attention was attracted by the Voss Lightning that flew quickly to intercept it.
"Biological missile electrical signal detected!"
Tianwu's biological missiles will release strong biological electromagnetic pulses when they hit the target, paralyzing the target's electronic equipment or extinguishing the engine. They are very fast, but because the strong electrical signals are also very easy to detect, the auspicious array will
The data is provided to the pilots and a plan is calculated based on the biological missile's flight path, vector, and speed.
Subsequently, the Voss Lightning fighter plane dropped a dozen small things with parachutes. Those biological missiles immediately seemed to have found their targets and ran towards the baits. Through the dissection of the wreckage, the Adeptus Mechanicus confirmed that the missiles of the Sky Witch were
It chases electromagnetic signals, which means that anything that can emit a strong magnetic field will attract them like a magnet.
Sure enough, hundreds of biological missiles all hit the bait, and then turned into tattered pieces of meat and fell.
The sky witches screamed angrily, and the gargoyles swarmed over, and they tried to take the opportunity to attack the transport ship. Kano was very familiar with the Tyranids. They had cunning hunting wisdom, but they didn't know how to conceal their intentions.
.
From time to time, the Voss Lightning fighter jets fired fiercely at the gargoyles, beating those small creatures into pieces of flesh and bones. Then they suddenly increased their speed and dispersed in several directions. Due to the terrifying output of the plasma ramjet engine, they were killed in a few breaths.
After getting rid of the group of gargoyles, Tian Wu, who lost the cover of the gargoyles, was unprepared for the fighter plane that suddenly appeared behind him.
Kano locked one of them and launched two anti-air missiles at a half-second interval at high speed. They flew towards the target at extremely high speeds.
Tian Wu accelerated and turned, using the creature's unique flexibility to avoid the first missile, but the second missile had been pre-aimed at its avoidance route. The violent explosion then swallowed the monster, and it turned into a ball of burning waste and fell to the ground.
come down.
Then Kano suddenly pulled up and avoided the biological missile fired from the right rear, then rolled and turned, and the cannon fired continuously.
The firepower of the two plasma cannons hit the Sky Witch's body, splattering fragments of flesh and chitin, and tearing off its wings.
Wailing, another beast fell downwards.
After the Maelstrom Expedition, the Voss Lightning of the Astral Knights had their firepower upgraded, replacing the original laser cannon with a shorter-range but more powerful Reza-type plasma cannon - this weapon was combined with a star-powered weapon.
The plasma machine technology provided by World Knight ensures a certain rate of fire without overheating easily.
Facing the Hram United, which had a crushing advantage in speed and firepower, it was obvious that the wings of the Tyranids were not enough, and all they could rely on was quantity.
While the Voss Lightning was killing gargoyles and witches every second, there were still a large number of Tyranids flying desperately towards the transport ship, and the escorting Thunder fighter formation became the second line of defense.
Fortunately, most of the Sky Witches have been eliminated, and Thunder's performance is enough to face Gargoyles.
As the altitude continues to climb, the speed of the transport ship also increases, and soon it will be able to get rid of the harassment of Tyranid flying creatures by its own speed.
But the most dangerous area is approaching.
"The enemy's giant creature was discovered! It's a crocodile!"
When Kano received the distress signal from the transport ship, they were not too surprised, because as early as they entered the atmosphere, they had encountered an interception by a worm. This huge flying Tyran creature seemed to be lingering in the atmosphere.
The middle layer is designed to intercept human aircraft entering the planet from space or leaving the planet from space.
"Copy that, Squadron 1, follow me."
Kano changed his course and rushed towards the enemy scanned by the auspicious device at an extremely fast speed. Soon the wingless flying behemoth appeared in the tactical helmet. At this time, it was leading a large number of gargoyles towards
The transport ship rushed towards it. If the gargoyle could only cause a little trouble to the transport ship, then it could pose a fatal threat to the transport ship.
