Chapter 51
Chapter 50 Promoted again (middle)
In the end… how can we quickly win this battle?
“Wu Qiao,” Darrell said over there, “I will be the lead plane, and you will be the wingman.”
“Yes.”
When two planes cooperate in combat, there will be long-time wingmen. The lead plane attacked and ordered the wingman to observe the situation and cover the lead plane. Pilots with more combat experience will focus their firepower on the enemy, basically forming a one-to-one situation, while the wingman will focus on protecting the pilot instead of attacking the enemy. If the wingman pays too much attention to the offense, it will affect its own defensive capabilities. After all, it needs to **** the lead plane at the same time so that it can concentrate on the offensive and help it pass the combat phase safely. Under normal circumstances, the distance between the wingman and the enemy will be longer, because the greater the distance between the two aircraft, the wider the observation range, which can provide better support to the lead aircraft, and the long distance also weakens the attack power of the wingman. Of course, these are not laws that must be followed. Sometimes, a long opportunity requires the wingman to also participate in the attack. For example, if the energy shield used by the opponent’s mecha for defense is very thick and other capabilities are average, the leader will order the wingman to fire at the same time. , Using fierce firepower from two mechas to destroy the opponent’s defense.
“Then,” Darrell said, “just take advantage of this chaotic moment and solve the opponent’s driver as soon as possible.”
“Yes.” After speaking, Wu Qiao flew away.
Darrell locked his target, and the laser beam pierced the air in an instant!
Wu Qiao tried hard to cover Darrell.
He tried his best to help Darrell sweep off all his tails.
When Darrell was fighting, other mechas would interfere, and Wu Qiao would sweep them away for him.
At the same time, he also needs to interfere with the opponent’s path.
He carefully figured out his opponent’s intentions, guessed his opponent’s next actions, and then tried his best to interrupt his actions.
He flew around and always made the opponent feel very uncomfortable. He couldn’t attack Darrell in the best place for the first time. The efficiency was indeed a big discount compared to before.
Sometimes the red mecha wanted to get rid of Wu Qiao first, but Wu Qiao flew far in an instant, and Darrell, who was the main attack point, made him unable to ignore it.
Occasionally, Wu Qiao would cross position with Darrell. They especially liked flying to the sun and then swapping positions, so that the enemy couldn’t tell the opponent instantly.
Thanks to the fast speed of Crow Jiu, it is fairly easy to deal with these things.
Wu Qiao thought to himself, two to one, it was really much easier.
Then he divided the gods. He thought: If he and Tan Yan face each other together, what will happen to the picture? He came to protect Tan Yan, or Tan Yan came to protect him. At that time, the cooperation must be seamless… Wu Qiao couldn’t help but imagine that one day, he and Tan Yan would stand on the last battlefield and face the last opponent. The two people joined hands closely to achieve a great victory together. Hey, Wu Qiao feels something is wrong. In his previous fantasy, he saved all mankind by himself. How come there is Tan Yan this time…
“Wu Qiao!” Ya Jiu shouted, “You concentrate!”
“Huh? Ah!”
Wu Qiao felt extremely annoyed: If the lead plane was hit by an opponent because of the distraction just now and not fulfilling his responsibility for cover, then he could really be considered guilty.
Wu Qiao hurried Tan Yan out.
“You’re really…” Ya Jiu finished teaching Wu Qiao, but suddenly twisted, “Suddenly thinking about that kind of thing…”
“…?”
“I… If I join forces with Long Yuan… Aw…”
Wu Qiao: “…”
Hearing this sweet and greasy “Woo”, Wu Qiao trembled all over.
He knew that this was Ya Jiu’s dream after seeing Long Yuan for the first time.
After refocusing their attention, the two sides continued their fight in the air.
However, Darrell was still too old after all.
A long time has passed since receiving the order to start the raid.
Darrell gradually felt powerless.
The old man, the more you fight, the more courageous you are, these are just legends.
Two minutes later, Wu Qiao heard “duang”!
“…!!!” Wu Qiao quickly looked at Darrell.
Sure enough, Darrell’s mech was shot in the right arm, and he was braving a horrible black smoke!
“…” Wu Qiao was shocked.
Originally, both of them were reluctant, but now Darrell is still injured!
Retreat?
Wu Qiao knew that Darrell would probably not agree. It’s just that the right arm of the unimportant mecha is damaged, and Darrell is afraid that he won’t admit defeat. Darrell is the kind of character that never retreats. It is really lucky to live so old after fighting to the end.
So, what else is there?
Can you use this mecha damage instead? How to use it if possible?
Among the sparks, Wu Qiao suddenly had an idea!
An idea that can attack the opponent!
“Major General Darrell!” Wu Qiao said in the communication device, “I have a tactic, but I don’t know if I can succeed!”
“Huh?” Darrell gritted his teeth, “you said.”
“My method is not to continue fighting with it, but to pretend to be embarrassed and run away!”
“…?” Darrell thought, what kind of **** is this. But he did not choose to ask, but listened to Wu Qiao’s next words, because now Darrell knew very well that Wu Qiao would not talk about messy things.
“I mean,” Wu Qiao continued, “Now you have been hit, with half of your weapons, and it is even less likely to win. It is normal to retreat.”
“Ok.”
“Then, when you retreat, slow down a bit so that he can bite you. I think as long as it can bite, it must be chased. The opponent will not be willing to give up the chance to win and pursue, you run in front. At that time, he will definitely chase you behind.”
“…” The mecha was bitten by someone, and there were multiple tails behind him, but it was a big taboo.
“After that, we crossed with scissors twice, and I attacked the opponent the second time! That is, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.”
“Cross the scissors twice? Tell me more specifically.” Darrell reluctantly dodged while giving instructions to Wu Qiao.
“We are going to deceive him so that he can’t see it.” Wu Qiao said, “In the beginning, you fly downwards and let him follow behind. And I will cross over and fly upwards. He will definitely think , We evacuated separately. Because he is chasing you and walking back to me, he won’t see what I’m doing. As for radar detection, please use interference so that your opponent can’t catch my shadow.”
“Ok.”
“After that, please pretend to be…in order to get rid of him, and change direction rapidly, that is to say, suddenly upward! The whole process, fly into a U shape. Here, please fly to the sun directly above, and use The figure obscures the opponent’s line of sight.”
“You keep talking.”
“And me,” Wu Qiao said of his deployment to himself, “when the right time comes, I will dive down! In other words, during the whole process, I will fly into an n-shape. Crow nine has a high speed and a faster dive speed. , It only takes about two or three seconds before I can get him into the range of Raven Nine! Within these two or three seconds, please cover your opponent and don’t let him know that I am rushing towards him! You are close to him, the range that can be covered is not small, plus you are walking towards the light, it should be possible to do it!”
After a pause, Wu Qiao said again: “When he enters my range, please bounce off immediately and let me attack him! I will not miss!”
“…I understand your tactics.” Darrell pondered for a moment, “but, there are two problems.”
“You ask.”
“First,” Darrell said, “it’s my problem. I want to avoid all attacks alone. The opponent is behind me, and we can’t be too far away. I want to keep shaking and try my best to protect Own life.”
“Yes it is.”
“Second, we need to have a very perfect cooperation. When you do dives, you need to always hide within the range that I can cover. This is not easy.”
“I think I can do it by hiding it in the area covered by you.”
“Because I have to keep shaking, I can only give you everything about hiding in the range. This requires precise control and requires a high speed. In fact, it is not easy.”
“Major general.” Wu Qiao said hesitantly, “or else, forget it? Let’s leave now.”
“…” Darrell said after being silent for a long time, “Just try what you said.”
“…Yes.” Wu Qiao said again, “Then, now, please tell me, your detailed plan for shaking, mainly refers to when you are ascending.” Knowing how Darrell intends to shake, Wu Qiao can Cover your figure.
After the explanation, the two began to act!
Darrell dragged his right arm that was smoking black smoke, and began to flee the battlefield hastily!
Then, as Wu Qiao predicted, the other party did not intend to let him go.
The driver of the red mech bit Darrell to death!
Darrell opened his eyes and tried his best to avoid the attack!
Hold on, hold on! He told himself, hold on for a while!
Finally, he saw the signal that Wu Qiao was ready.
On Darrell’s command side, the mecha quickly rose!
There was a scorching sun above his head, hanging there brightly, Darrell walked through the light while also paying attention to the distance!
The distance should not be too far, otherwise it will not be covered!
As Wu Qiao said, after only two or three seconds, the mecha behind him entered Wu Qiao’s attack range!
“It’s now!” Wu Qiao roared.
Darrell slammed to the left, exposing himself to Wu Qiao!
And Wu Qiao, even before he could see it clearly, was already a bombardment!
He knows that when he really sees his opponent and his opponent also sees him clearly, he may not be able to hit it!
The best time to launch is when Darrell is just beginning to dodge!
In this way, Darrell can just pass the cannonball, and when the opponent sees it, the cannonball has already arrived!
Only in this way can he be unable to escape his super mental power.
Darrell will not be rubbed, he believes Darrell!
Then, just hearing a “boom”, the opponent was hit!
That mech was out of control instantly!
It is like a dead leaf in the autumn wind, spinning and falling rapidly downward.
“…” At the same time, Darrell flew towards him.
Naturally, Wu Qiao didn’t dare to be idle, for fear of his opponent’s actions, he hurriedly protected Darrell from a distance.
Wu Qiao did not use weapons that were too violent, so although the red mecha was broken, the pilot was not fatally injured. Although, the injury was definitely inevitable, and it was enough to make him move inconvenience next.
“…” Darrell looked at the red mecha and couldn’t calm down at all.
The people inside… what does… have anything to do with Nicole?
Why, that weird way of fighting makes him feel so familiar?
Darrell became more and more confused as he thought about it.
However, when the truth is ready in time, he is a little scared.
What he was afraid of being uncovered would be a cruel truth that he could not bear.
“Major General.” Wu Qiao reminded him, “Please hurry up.”
“…”
“Everyone has almost withdrawn, and we have to go later.” Staying here is purely seeking death by yourself.
“…Okay.” Darrell gritted his teeth.
He also knew that sooner or later he had to watch.
And, the sooner the better.
What should be yours will always be yours, and you can’t escape, and what shouldn’t be you is not yours. It’s useless to ask.
He took a deep breath and stretched out the mecha’s left arm toward the cab that had been cracked open.
His mech no longer has a right arm, only this left arm can still be used.
He knew very well that Wu Qiao was staring at him, and as soon as the enemy moved, he would take action.
With the harsh noise, Darrell opened the cab.
There is a woman in the cab.
Darrell only glanced at it, and froze there as if struck by lightning.
“Nicole…”
However, even though he called so affectionately, the woman didn’t respond at all.
“Nicole!”
The opponent still looks at the person in front of him like an object.
There is no fear, no fear, no anger, no hatred.
Similarly, there is no passion, no moving, no curiosity, no inexplicable.
“You…what’s wrong with you?” Darrell asked.
The other party remained expressionless.
“And…” Darrell found something wrong at this time, “Why are you still so young?”
He himself has gray hair, and sometimes his thoughts are even a little fuzzy, but the other person is still young and looks like he remembered a long time ago.
But he still didn’t get any answers.
“Major General!” Wu Qiao kept swooping and flew straight down, “Dodge!”
Darrell was pushed and staggered, and he almost fell down with his mecha.
Looking back, there was a huge pit where he stood just now!
Several mechas from the opponent flew over at the same time, and the next precise aiming was in progress!
“Major General, we must go!”
“but……”
“No!” Even though he knew it was disobedience, Wu Qiao took a step forward and commanded Ya Jiu to hug Darrell’s mecha from behind and flee the place with the wind at maximum speed.
If you want to take the opposing driver, there is absolutely no possibility!
Before taking people away, he and Darrell will be fried into meat sauce first!
“Wow!” Ya Jiu actually has a terrible concept of chastity, “I, I, I, I, I, the first person I hugged is not Long Yuan!”
“…The one you are holding is not a human at all.”
“The first mecha I held was not Long Yuan!”
“…” Wu Qiao didn’t know what to say, and only replied with difficulty, “Long Yuan won’t care about this.”
“Will you or will you not care at all?”
“This is a special case.”
“Yes, that’s right…” Ya Jiu was a little entangled, “I hope Long Yuan can understand…Woo, Long Yuan is much better than it.”
“…”
After a while, Darrell let Wu Qiao let go.
Ya Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While knocking out the chasing soldiers from behind, they chased the fleet at full speed.
Finally, they returned to their ship.
Great, get rid of…
Wu Qiao let out a sigh of relief.
He escaped from the dead again.
…
——What Wu Qiao did not expect was that Darrell became ill soon after returning to the ship.
The military doctor came to see it. It was just a common cold, but the medicine was useless.
This has nothing to do with the previous battle, it is entirely a psychological effect.
He just can’t afford to be sick like that.
“Major General…” Wu Qiao asked hesitantly, “That driver she…”
“It’s weird…” Darrell said weakly.
“Ok.”
“I know you don’t understand at all.” Darrell said, “I think you’ve heard of it before. I have an ex-wife.”
“Yes, I’ve heard of it.”
“Actually, it’s not an ex-wife, but my only wife.”
“……and after?”
“died.”
“…I’m sorry.” Wu Qiao only knew about Nicole until she left the army. He didn’t know that she was married to Darrell, let alone what happened later.
“Nicole’s matter… is a tragedy.”
“Ok?”
“She was ruined by someone who is smart enough.”
“How do you say this?” Wu Qiao asked.
“At that time…” Darrell said, “At that time, unlike now, few women wanted to be mecha pilots.”
“Yeah.” Wu Qiao knew that now, there are more and more outstanding female fighters. One of the three brigadier generals in this base is an example. She had never been to a military school either. She joined the army at the age of 16 and was promoted to this point with her outstanding ability. She is very gentle privately, the entire base likes her, but her fighting style is brave, open and close, daring to take risks than the other two preparations, Major General Darrell has always admired her very much.
“However, in those few years, the number of mecha pilots has decreased drastically. They are still unable to recruit and recruit women. In this way, the other half of the army can also participate in the army. Has it expanded?”
“Yeah.” Wu Qiao seemed to have heard of it vaguely.
“The military has put pressure on the military academy to train a large number of outstanding female mecha pilots.”
“…”
“This is very difficult because there are not enough students.” Darrell smiled mockingly. “The principal thought of a trick at the time-to establish an idol first.”
“That’s Nicole?” Wu Qiao asked.
It is indeed a way to set up an idol, let people worship her, and then learn from her. People who admire Nicole will also enter the military academy, just as those who admire entrepreneurs want to become entrepreneurs.
“Yes, it’s Nicole.” Darrell continued, “At the time, he chose Nicole among the few candidates—there was really not a big pool of choices. Nicole…she was a genius, a spirit The force is controlled to a terrifying level. The mechas controlled by her react fast and are unique. The tactical methods are tricky and always unexpected. The military academy is very happy because many people think that women are better at doing several things at the same time, and all of them. They are all arranged in an orderly manner, and concentration is not an advantage.”
“I’ve heard that her mental control is far beyond ordinary people, very good.”
“But in fact,” Darrell’s voice was very painful, “she is not as perfect as the propaganda.”
“Huh?” Wu Qiao didn’t understand, “What do you mean?”
“She has shortcomings, that is, she consumes too much physical strength.” Darrell said, “According to her tactics, this is also normal.”
“…”
“So, at the very beginning, her results were not so outstanding, because in protracted battles, she often couldn’t hold on. She was defeated and lost. As long as the defense is the mainstay, hold her first, then it will be easier.”
“…”
“The group of people think… this performance… can’t be an idol.”
“Then…?” In fact, Wu Qiao faintly felt what happened afterwards.
“Then?” Darrell sneered again. “Then, that bastard… gave Nicole the medicine.”
“……”really!
“At the time, he only said it was vitamins, so Nicole didn’t care. Soon after taking the medicine, her grades improved by leaps and bounds, and she became the strongest every time. The idol strategy really worked. Since then, many women have signed up.”
“That medicine…what is it?”
“I don’t know.” Darrell shook his head, “But it is certain that it contains hormones, as well as minerals and other ingredients, which can be used to strengthen muscles and reduce fatigue. Her muscles expand and her bones become larger. ”
“…”
“After she entered the military, she finally accepted the fact that there was a problem with the medicine. We were married at that time. She stopped taking the medicine, but the side effects of stopping the medicine after taking it for a long time were very serious. She was uncomfortable every day and always wanted to take the medicine. , I am still very arrogant, unable to concentrate, crying at every turn, and the condition is always bad. I don’t know if it’s just her or all the people who take the medicine. The principal can’t find it. We have no way of knowing whether he has any knowledge of the result. Expected.”
“…”
“After some time, she found that she could not continue to fight on the battlefield, so she left the military headquarters.”
“…” Is that so…?
“She wanted to fight, but her body was not allowed. After I enlightened her, she was better. After all, it was better than taking medicine. She said that she wanted to be a normal person and have a normal marriage. I also kept telling her, After recovery, she can join the army again. Later, she wanted a child, but her body still couldn’t. She didn’t want to use artificial training, always wanted to try again by herself. She wanted to prove that she was not destroyed. But in fact the body did suffer…she was suffering from depression.”
“Later?”
“Later? Nothing.” Darrell said, “One day, when she was using a razor to shave the thick hairs that grew out of the male hormones she was taking, she was in a daze and drew towards her wrist. ”
“Major General…” Wu Qiao didn’t know what to comfort him, because everything seemed extremely pale.
“I won’t mention this past.” Darrell lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. “What I can’t understand is that the red mecha just now… how could it be Nicole, and she was still young. What is even more bizarre is that there are probably eight in number.”
“Could it be…” Wu Qiao thought for a while, and finally said, “What about clones?” After all, Nicole’s mental power is rare in a century.
“Actually, I think so.” Darrell was still quite calm at this time, “but it’s not exactly like this.”
“…?”
“I think those drivers have been processed, as if they have no emotions, and their brains have been processed!” After Darrell finished speaking, he pounded the bed hard. “Maybe I have removed more parts, and I only follow orders. , Become a fighter machine!!!”
At that time, the driver’s reaction was not normal at all.
“…”
“Do they think it’s okay to become a machine?!”
“Major General…”
“This is their proud work, and it won’t be taken out until the end!” Darrell was very emotional, “but what I can’t understand is, how can they have Nicole’s genetic gene?!” Although, ordinary Genetic genes can be extracted from cells, and they can’t easily get them!
“I think…” Wu Qiao hesitated for a long time, and finally said again, “Is the initial extraction done by the empire… Later it was stolen and cultivated like this?” The Imperial Army wanted to get it. , It’s really easy to say. Nicole was so good back then, there are no two people besides her, will the military secretly leave her genes behind and plan to use them at critical moments.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Darrell immediately interrupted Wu Qiao, “How could the empire do such a thing!”
“Oh…” Wu Qiao said nothing. I don’t know why, Wu Qiao always thinks of what Tan Yan said that day, “The empire is now too focused on ‘articles’-I mean tools used in warfare, I’m afraid it will gradually lose popularity.”
“Wu Qiao.” Darrell took a deep breath, “I want to give a speech to everyone…”
“Okay.” Wu Qiao said, “I’ll get someone to prepare.”
“Go ahead.”
Darrell went there in a wheelchair.
Wu Qiao did not expect that he had reached the point where he could not get out of bed.
Darrell’s face was sallow, his eye circles were heavy, and he didn’t have any energy at all.
Because of illness, Darrell’s voice was very weak.
He said: “When you joined… I promised you that if one day I am about to fail, I will let you know. I regret to say that that day is now.”
“…” There was no sound below.
“How is your body, you will feel it. Really, you will feel it when that day comes.”
Wu Qiao couldn’t believe it. He always felt that Darrell’s death should also be earth-shattering, not like this.
However, now, it may be said that it is dead.
Darrell continued: “I want to say that even if I’m gone, you must remember that the spirit is immortal. I know… For some people, war is like howling shells, bomb explosions, blood splashing, The corpses are in piles. However, to some people, justice, dignity, freedom, peace, etc. are invaluable and will never be eliminated. ”
“…”
“The decisive battle is not over. Now that we have found the opponent’s base, we will not leave here again, and the offensive will continue.”
“…”
“After I die…” Darrell touched the armrest of his wheelchair, “When the main ship strikes, please take my coffin.”
“…”
“I want to see the victory with my own eyes.”
Some people started to cry.
“Also,” Darrell said at last, “Wu Qiao was promoted to brigadier general. From now on, he will manage the affairs of the base.”
“…!!!”
“I will help him get approval from the military.”
Suddenly, the whole court was in an uproar.
Wu Qiao, so young, was just a colonel. After being promoted to colonel, he led a fleet of 6 mechas from a lieutenant colonel to a 35 fleet with 210 mechas, which is too far away from the entire base.
Darrell has always played cards improperly, but this time, it was his most extraordinary time.
In his last speech, his maverick, reached the peak of his life.
As Wu Qiao himself, I am naturally happy.
When he contacted Tan Yan, he said, “I’m very happy to be promoted again. I’m really afraid that I won’t be worthy of you and will drag you down in the future.”
Tan Yan only said: “You are my pride.”
Wu Qiao: “…”
His face was completely red.
At this time, he was smug, and he didn’t know that, except for him, no one was happy anymore, and an atmosphere of distrust permeated the entire base.
