Chapter 57: Iron Teeth Strike (2)
The Orek fighter is also a fighter during the Sith War one or two thousand years ago. Although it is only a 9.2-meter-long triangular light fighter, it is equipped with proton torpedoes. It is a multi-functional fighter. It was used during the Sith War The main model of the Galactic Republic.
Although it is far behind now, considering that the Galactic Republic has been disarmed for more than a thousand years, the backwardness is not as outrageous as it seems for thousands of years.
Even though these Orek-style fighters can no longer be compared with the main fighters in the Galaxy, with a cruiser and a carrier-based aircraft, Iron Fang-Kuken's strength is definitely the kind that poses a deadly threat among pirates.
Twelve Orek Fighters flew around the mothership, firing airborne proton torpedoes from different angles while continuously firing laser cannons.
But the mothership remained motionless.
On the bridge of the mothership, Tang Xiao's eyes were steady, looking at the holographic projection of the battlefield situation in front of him.
The current battle situation can be called boring. Two spaceships, one large and one small, are constantly circling, and 12 small Fighters are attacking hard. But even so, Tang Xiao still stared at the holographic projection and didn't blink until his eyes became astringent.
"The power of the energy shield has dropped by 1%! The proton torpedo is more powerful than we expected." Qi Jian said back.
Tang Xiao nodded and asked, "According to the Brain's simulation, how long does it take for the opponent to penetrate our shield?"
"According to the opponent's stock of proton torpedoes, this time ranges from 200 hours to 1700 hours." Qi Jian replied.
"Are we sure about our plan?" Tang Xiao asked again.
"Seventy percent." Carls Wharton replied with a serious face.
Tang Xiao has already started to unbutton his jacket, revealing his well-trained muscles and tight flight suit, "The command is over to you. Send an order, and the first wave of Fighters will take off in 10 minutes!!"
"yes!"
Tang Xiao didn't stop there and took the elevator directly down to the huge hangar platform. There, 73 modified blade fighters have been prepared, the pilots are all in place, and the ground crew is making final preparations.
He walked directly to one of the empty Fighters and jumped on it nimbly.
Since the awakening of the original force, Tang Xiao has been training himself in various ways, and he also understands that with the help of the original force, he will be even more powerful when piloting the spaceship.
So he also started the driving training of the Blade Fighter a few days ago, and the progress was very fast.
"Supreme Commander, you can do it!" The pilot next to him gave him a thumbs up.
"Leave it to me! This time, I will lead you to victory!" Tang Xiao also responded with a thumbs up, then pressed the button to close the cockpit and start the engine of the fighter.
At this time, the lights in the hangar turned red, and the Brain's voice sounded, [The First Fighter Squadron is ready to take off. Repeat, Fighter Squadron 1 is ready to take off. ]
Tang Xiao's eyes became sharper, he pushed the joystick suddenly, and the fighter flew straight out like an arrow from the string!
The scene in front of him darkened, and he had already entered the endless space. According to the guidance of the onboard navigation system, he pushed the joystick to the left and controlled the plane to fly in that direction.
Bypassing the mothership, the green figure of Dawn Star appeared in front of his eyes, as well as the Hammerhead-class cruiser that was firing wildly at the mothership!
"Target confirmed." Tang Xiao looked at the cruiser coldly.
"According to the plan! The First Squadron made a tentative attack!" Carls Wharton's voice came from the communication.
"Received. No. 1 Squadron, follow me." Tang Xiao pushed the joystick, leading all 12 fighters of No. 1 Squadron to rush straight towards the cruiser.
It seems that they did not expect that the mothership, which had been silent for a long time, would suddenly take off Fighters. The 12 Orek Fighters on the other side did not come to intercept them immediately. This also showed the nature of the lack of discipline and lack of training of those pirates.
After entering the launching position, Tang Xiao shouted into the communicator: "The first squadron fires! Launch the first wave of missile attack!"
After speaking, he lifted the fire button safety with his thumb, and the fire control radar aimed at the Hammerhead-class cruiser with the support of the mothership's data link, and then slammed the button!
On the belly of the aircraft, a Gemini air-to-air missile more than 2 meters long was ignited and launched instantly and flew straight towards the cruiser.
The blade fighters of the first squadron were all equipped with Gemini missiles, and they launched the missiles immediately. With the support and correction of the huge computing power of the mothership, all 12 missiles hit without exception!
More than a dozen explosions exploded outside the deflector shield of the Hammerhead-class cruiser, but this wave of attacks was still blocked.
The attack was successful, but Tang Xiao didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue it. He immediately turned around with the No. 1 Squadron and flew towards the side of the mothership.
The 12 Orek fighters of the pirates immediately followed like sharks smelling blood! After the cruiser was attacked, their madness was also aroused.
Kuken roared angrily in their communication, cursing and letting 12 Orek fighters rush over and tear those fighters that were very backward at first glance to pieces!
The No. 1 Squadron did not love to fight and soon came to the predetermined area on the side of the mothership. Tang Xiao said in the communication: "The first squadron is already in place."
"Activate the close-in defense system of the mothership, and the second squadron will take off!" Qi Jian gave an order from the middle of the bridge.
All I saw were the hatches opened on the huge body of the mothership, and one after another double-mounted electromagnetic cannon rose from it, aiming at the surrounding Orek fighters and firing directly!
Countless bullets shot out, forming a barrage around the mothership.
The Olek fighter group was immediately dispersed by this burst of attack. They flew around, flexibly avoiding the attack of the close-in artillery.
In fact, the reason why we waited until now to launch the barrage of near-anti-aircraft guns is that the Kushen mothership's armament is really not good enough. There are only 377 near-defense guns in total, all of which are 30mm double-mounted electromagnetic cannons. With a full load of 754 gun barrels, the barrage fired could not completely cover this giant ship with a height of 41,370 meters.
So if under normal circumstances, these 12 Orek fighters can easily avoid the attack of close-in guns, and they can also distance themselves. After all, these close-in defense guns are all electromagnetic cannons. Although they have an unlimited range in the cosmic environment, their accuracy is too poor.
These Fighters can easily fly hundreds of kilometers away. At this distance, even if the anti-aircraft gun rotates by 0.01 degrees, there will be an extremely large deviation, and there is no way to hit it.
But, don't forget, there is also a group of blade fighters led by Tang Xiao!
