Knocking wonders from the space station

The design of the TIE Fighter seemed a bit strange to Lu Feng.

While other fighters are trying to reduce the surface area to be bombed as much as possible and choose energy coins as their onboard energy source, the TIE Fighter has chosen a pair of quite impressive solar wings. Although the shapes of the wings of each model are different,

Without exception, solar wings are standard.

The texture of these wings is not metal, but has a texture similar to that of a solar panel. It is equipped with energy collection coils and heat dissipation grilles. It can collect light energy at any time to power the empire's unique solar ion engine.

The engine uses a reaction tank as a transmission channel to ignite the radioactive gas ejected at high pressure, while giving the TIE fighter super maneuverability.

However, the cockpit of the TIE Fighter is small, crude, and lacks protection. In other words, the entire fighter jet does not have much protection. In battle, the only difference is between being hit and not being hit.

This also resulted in huge production of TIE fighters, but also huge losses, and they were updated very quickly.

The pilots will choose different fighters every time they fly. There is no exclusive aircraft. Which one you catch is which one. There is always a new person and aircraft.

In view of the extremely high pilot casualty rate, the empire generally adopts the model of recruiting new soldiers plus professional implants. The quantity is sufficient, but it is more difficult to train elite pilots.

However, the Imperial Army pursues the line of crushing force, and quantity determines everything. Even if the TIE Fighter is piloted by an ace pilot, it will be difficult to achieve anything.

More than 300 TIE fighters roared in. The special structure of the engine makes it emit a terrifying scream when flying in the atmosphere, which can bring a full sense of oppression and fear to the people on the ground.

Unfortunately, what faced the TIE Fighter group was a group of autonomous drones.

In order to prevent the empire's advanced electronic power from intercepting these drones, Lu Feng asked technicians to lock the drone control system. These 600 drones would operate from the moment they took off until they were destroyed or ran out of ammunition.

During the return flight, no one can control them remotely.

Not even Lu Feng, let alone the Imperial Army.

As a result, these red-eyed drones were like wild dogs, controlled by the new combat logic designed by Yutu, and wildly launched a fierce attack on the enemy aircraft fleet.

The leader of the Imperial fleet frowned and spoke on the channel:

"Attention, all brigades, the enemy is a drone smaller than us. Avoid getting into a fight, adopt a one-shot breakaway tactic, and use your mobility advantage to break up their formation. Victory belongs to the empire!"

"Long live the Empire!"

The imperial pilots in the channel roared and flew their fighter planes to kill, as if they were completely unafraid of death.

In fact, there is something wrong with the implants worn by these pilots. It will subtly implant some psychological hints into the pilots. Otherwise, it would be difficult for anyone to dare to fly on the TIE fighter, which is nicknamed the "flying urn".

Pugh, chirp, chirp—! Pugh, chirp, chirp—!

The firing sound of the TIE Fighter is also very recognizable.

In other words,

Most of the Imperial Army's airborne blaster cannons have this sound. When the blaster beam is activated, it is low and powerful, but it will soon turn into a sharp roar. Every time it fires, it is mentally stressful for those who are not determined.

torture.

On the other side, the A-class drone is equipped with a pulse laser produced by Goblin Heavy Industries. Limited by the airborne power, the range of this pulse beam is only about 200 meters, and the continuous illumination time will not exceed 0.5 seconds, but the emission frequency is extremely fast.

.

If the TIE fighter is a mid-to-short-range rifleman, then the drone is a lancer that attacks closely. As long as it gets close, it can pierce the powerful blue pulse laser and pierce the target with holes.

When the two sides clashed for the first time, dozens of flames exploded in the sky.

Both sides suffered damage, and the battle losses were about three to one.

No matter how strong the combat logic of drones is, they are still dull after all. It would be much better if they were controlled by advanced AI.

Both sides were light fighters, and only each TIE fighter carried two combat missiles. After the first round of shots was fired, both sides immediately began a gorgeous fight with beams of light flying around, which looked quite spectacular under the gray clouds.

Every moment there was the roar of blaster beams and the explosion of fighter planes.

Lu Feng looked at the battlefield in the command hall of Xuanwu Fortress. The icon representing his own drone disappeared from the upper screen every second. No matter how cheap the opponent's mass-produced combination was, it was still above average.

Cheng UAV had the upper hand in the fight.

The TIE fighter pilot used the powerful engine to accelerate the fighter to high overload, and was soon able to get rid of the entanglement of the drone. The pressure-resistant suit released the huge pressure, allowing the pilot to calmly turn back and use explosive energy from 500 meters away.

The cannon fires, and each attack has a one-tenth hit rate.

Every few times, one or two shots would hit, and because of this, the number of drone swarms was being steadily reduced.

After all, this type of drone is designed for space combat. It will be somewhat bulky in the planet's gravitational circle, and the engine output will be insufficient, giving the TIE Fighter pilots a sense of comfort like hunting birds.

Seeing that his own air force had completely taken the initiative on the battlefield, the commander of the Imperial Landing Force, Colonel Baker, waved his hand and ordered the second batch of bombing formations to attack.

The second echelon was escorted by 50 TIE Fighters, and a full 50 TIE bombers, equivalent to the size of 3 TIE Fighters, came in forcefully, roaring and dropping 200 proton bombs towards the Gate of Hell.

Proton bombs are widely equipped by the Imperial Army. Through the fusion reaction produced by the proton core inside the bomb being ignited by the "Nagan 14 chemical charge", a violent explosion is formed, which is extremely powerful.

The power of a full 200 proton bombs is even greater than that of 200 tactical nuclear bombs. The main reason is that the power will not weaken too much in space. Once hit, the broad basalt shield suddenly flashes violently, and it looks obviously much thinner in texture.

The attack works!

Colonel Baker was greatly inspired. He thought that the turtle shell was so hard, but it was already crumbling after just one bombing. It turned out to be a bluff.

"Order the second echelon to continue bombing, and request the fleet to send the third bombing echelon to give the enemy a fatal blow!"

TIE bombers were much more expensive than TIE fighters, so the 46th Fleet only brought 200 of them in total.

Baron Nutt, who was in orbit, thought for a moment and agreed to Colonel Baker's request. The third batch of 50 TIE fighters and 50 TIE bombers immediately roared into the siege of the Gate of Hell.

Under the repeated bombardment of proton bombs, the Xuanwu shield was already crumbling, as if it would break in the next second.

Colonel Baker felt that endless achievements were already beckoning to him.

Add more fire!

"Order the landing fleet to attack and completely crush the resistance of these alien scum!"

The landing force, which had been waiting impatiently for a long time, pressed forward. The 36 destroyers and frigates together blocked the sky. The four armed transport ships following behind were slowly pressing in like moving mountains, making the sight outside the gate of hell difficult.

The tribe feels suffocated.

The escort fleet took the lead and launched a low-altitude artillery bombardment at the Gate of Hell. Blaster cannons of various sizes rained down on it, trying to gain its own share of the task of conquering the shield.

Seeing that the opponent was left defenseless by the powerful imperial army, four armed transport ships boldly pressed forward.

While using its own self-defense firepower to show off its power, it dropped a large number of armored troops onto the ground.

They are 8 50-meter-long [Juggernaut-class] super-heavy tanks and 32 [2-m Saber-class] hover tanks.

Hover tanks are 10-meter-sized anti-gravity weapon platforms that can levitate one meter above the ground. They have good flexibility, but their maximum travel speed is only 80 miles. Their firepower is a blaster main gun and two blaster cannons.

Effectively clear light armored targets on the battlefield.

On the other hand, those seemingly bulky 50-meter giant tanks have five pairs of huge all-terrain road wheels and heavy-duty floating suspension. While ensuring the stability of the upper body, they are terrifying monsters that can reach up to 160 miles.

.

Each Dominator is equipped with two heavy siege cannons and reinforced armor, and can carry 300 stormtroopers. It is the backbone of the Imperial assault force.

These data echoed clearly in Lu Feng's mind and could not move him.

To put it bluntly, this armored force is only mediocre. It may be able to bully other colonies on Skyrim. But if it faces the Gate of Hell, it may not even be able to knock down the wall. In the end, it will have to rely on air support.

Even if they rush in smoothly, there are only 1,200 stormtroopers who can't make any waves. There are too few people.

However, the Imperial Army obviously didn't think so. They would never have imagined how strong this super city wall was until they actually attacked the Gate of Hell.

In less than half an hour, all the imperial troops that broke into Skyrim were fully deployed and bombarded the Gate of Hell indiscriminately.

The Hell Gate's response was also very positive. The Xuanwu shield was weakening visibly every moment, as if the city's destruction was just around the corner.

"Damn it, why isn't this turtle's shell broken?"

After a while, Colonel Baker's brows were already furrowed, feeling that the battle situation was a bit delicate.

The shield in front of me has obviously reached its limit, so why does it always remain at the point where it is almost unbreakable? It seems that as long as I work harder, I can succeed.

Why do I feel so similar to my ex-girlfriend!

"Adjutant, how is the situation of our troops?"

"Everything is normal. Except for the large consumption of ammunition, all indicators have not reached the warning line. Our air force has almost annihilated the enemy fighters!"

The adjutant obviously found nothing unusual and still felt that his side had a great advantage.

And what is the reality?

At this moment, looking at his side's obvious inferiority in the air battlefield, Lu Feng had a sneer on his lips.

"Let Panlong Brigade get ready, it's time to close the net."

Underground at several military airports within Hell's Gate, heavily armed Blade interceptor aircraft with their engines fully on are waiting quietly for the gates to the ground to open.

at the same time,

The imperial pilots, who were still fighting happily, did not notice that every time they used large maneuvers to get rid of the entanglement of the drone, the fuselage would hit more volcanic ash suspended in the air.

Although the TIE Fighter does not have an air inlet design, these extremely viscous ash is gradually filling the huge solar wings.

Imperial pilots had no time to consider the problem of reduced charging efficiency during high-speed battles, and simply switched to backup energy to continue fighting. But what they didn't realize was that the fuselage's cooling system was also being covered bit by bit with ashes.

Moreover, under the intentional guidance of the drone swarm, the battlefield was very close to the clouds overhead. The volcanic ash here was as dense as goose feather snow, and the ashes were filled with radioactive dust and charged ions.

Soon, even the TIE Fighter's driver's window was covered in ashes.

Some irritable Imperial pilots could only give up the pleasure of visual kills and instead use sensors to detect enemies. However, after a certain point, even the sensors became inoperable.

Suddenly, an annoying warning sound sounded. The pilot saw that the engine temperature was a bit high, but the problem was not serious and it should be able to last until...

However, just a few seconds later, the warning suddenly escalated, and a red warning light indicating danger lit up in the cockpit.

the next moment,

The overheating warning sounds have been heard continuously, and the engine output has dropped significantly. In order to maintain the flight attitude, each fighter plane can only give up the target in front of it and glide at low speed.

At this moment, the egg-shaped shield in the distance flickered for one last time, and then completely disintegrated.

Although Colonel Baker at the rear noticed the anomaly in the fighter force, he was reluctant to take this opportunity, so he immediately ordered:

"All units immediately launch a general attack on local bases! Overcome difficulties, use full firepower, and don't give the enemy a chance to breathe!"

However,

The Imperial pilots could only smile helplessly as they looked at the smoke-filled fighter planes and the proton bombs that had bottomed out.

How to overcome this!

The best decision now is to let the fleet take over the offensive mission so that the fighter planes can return to repair.

but,

Baker still retained his last shred of sanity. He was cautious and did not dare to send a fleet to fly directly over the enemy fortress. He always felt that it would be a disaster.

It's a pity that he doesn't have the final say whether disaster strikes or not, it's Lu Feng who has the final say.

"All ministries will attack according to the predetermined plan!"

The next moment, in the panic-stricken expressions of all the pilots of the Empire, a large number of fighter planes with blue streams of light swarmed out from under the distant base, making a blood-curdling roar, and in the blink of an eye they were in front of the TIE fighter group.

"Hehehe, it was quite fun to throw the bomb just now, wasn't it?"

The pilots of the Panlong Brigade ignored the escaping TIE fighters. Once they took off, they attacked the TIE bombers unstoppably.

They know what the main threats to the base are.

The slow bombers are no match for the Blade Fighters. Just now it was so satisfying for the Imperial Fighters to chase down the Shen Tang drones, and now it has the same effect on them.

Even the Panlong brigade, which has a stronger aircraft model and more experienced pilots, has a higher shooting efficiency.

Every second, Imperial fighter planes volleyed and exploded.

The Blade interceptors also cannot fight for a long time in the ashes, but they don't need to fight for a long time. 10 minutes is enough to wipe out all enemy aircraft in the air!

Whoosh~boom——!

The Blade Fighter has quite a lot of fighting missiles. Even if the TIE Fighters disperse and evacuate, they will still be unable to escape misfortune.

The more anxious you are, the less likely it is that the overheated and smoking engine will be able to pick up speed. In the eyes of Shentang pilots, this is similar to a slow civilian aircraft, both of which are dead in one shot.

The sudden change in the sky shocked Colonel Baker.

He had expected that the opponent would have fighter jets, but what he didn't expect was that his own fighters would malfunction at the same time, just like a sudden poison attack.

"Quick, fleet air defense fire cover, call the orbital fleet to send air support!"

The 46th Fleet has a total of 800 fighters, and 500 of them have been deployed on the ground battlefield. If the subsequent 300 fighters can save the field, at least half of the fighters can be rescued in the end.

At least that's what he thought.

Lu Feng told him the truth, which was a bit beautiful.

Just when Baker was about to use the escort fleet to cover the evacuation of the fighter planes, there was finally movement at the Gate of Hell, which had been silent for a long time.

There are gun ports and lifting turrets on almost all the outer walls of the fortress as far as the eye can see. The total number of large and small guns is estimated to be thousands. When these electromagnetic cannons poked their heads out, they were all pointed at the same time.

Captain Baker's escort fleet.

When Baker saw this scene on the screen, his hair stood on end and he broke into cold sweat.

"Quick! Lower the altitude! Now!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening sound of the cannon was like the earth shattering, and the electromagnetic projectiles friction with the air in flight created a dazzling line of fire, connecting the Gate of Hell to the Imperial Fleet.

The next moment, the imperial fleet at one end erupted with even stronger flashes and explosions. It was a spectacular sight when the battleship exploded in the air.

In just the first round of firing, nearly a third of the escort fleet exploded and disintegrated in the air. No matter how strong the armor was, it could not withstand such a fierce electromagnetic gun fire.

Baker was lucky.

The crew of the flagship was obedient and sank immediately, allowing the flagship to fall below the firing range of the Gate of Hell.

Other surviving ships also followed suit, trying to use the terrain to avoid Hell Gate's terrifying anti-aircraft fire.

Sure enough, as the altitude dropped, the firepower from the distance became much smaller, and the last half of the fleet was already out of danger of destruction.

The shocked Baker couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Damn it, how could there be such a powerful colony? This is a super fortress!

Lu Feng: I never said this was not a fortress, otherwise what would you think?

Lu Feng looked at the flaming clouds in the distance with joy, then turned to look at his adjutant: "Which area is that?"

"741, Chief."

"Then what are you waiting for? You know where the button is~"

Lu Feng waved his hand casually, but the adjutant beside him excitedly and maliciously opened the operation panel on one side.

After entering the serial number of 741, he pressed the detonation button hard.

Boom——!

A low roar came from the distance, then the ground shook more and more seriously, and there was a faint red light flickering on the horizon.

On the other side, at the moment when the adjutant pressed the button,

A violent explosion suddenly occurred directly below the imperial fleet, and it was the most violent nuclear explosion!

The Imperial fleet, which was hovering directly above, was the first to bear the brunt. It was immediately shrouded in high temperatures and shock waves. Round after round of blazing impacts hit, and the warships that were constantly on fire were like pieces of burned firewood, tragically falling into the air.

The sea of ​​fire below.

Yes, there is a real sea of ​​​​fire below.

The nuclear explosion triggered crustal movement. Before the nuclear explosion subsided, a new round of volcanic eruptions threw lava and high-temperature debris into the faces of the remaining Imperial troops.

Now, even if there is a lucky person who survives the nuclear explosion, this fatal round of last hits will still kill him.

After the explosion subsided, the escort fleet was wiped out of mid-air as if it had never existed. No one survived.

Such results are naturally shocking,

But the rest of the empire's survivors have long been too busy to care.

The Panlong Brigade on the aerial battlefield is hunting turkeys, while the commandos and transport ships remaining on the ground are in a dilemma. The offensive power is insufficient, and the retreat cannot avoid anti-aircraft fire.

While hesitating, they ushered in their own meteor shower.

It was a salvo of rockets launched from the Gate of Hell. Cheap rockets were thrown over batch after batch and exploded near the Imperial vehicle.

The Imperial Army attempted to rely on its own mobility to evade, but the fortress guns located on top of the outer fortress had already locked onto the eight huge targets.

It doesn't matter if you can run 160 miles. Under fortress-level firepower, it is just like the mammoth giant on the battlefield. It looks mighty, but in fact it is just a target for artillery.

The fundamental reason is the unequal strength between the two sides, otherwise these heavy tanks would not be so miserable.

For a time, every corner of the Ashes Continent was shrouded in explosions.

The gatekeeper race, who were originally on tenterhooks, watched a grand fireworks show for free, which was quite exciting. Now they were howling and dancing.

The Imperial Fleet, which was the biggest victim, had already lost its fury, and orbital artillery bombardments immediately came down, raining down on the inside of the Gate of Hell, blowing up many factories on the surface.

The follow-up 300 fighter planes also arrived belatedly, including 100 TIE bombers. They were bound to take this opportunity to burn this colony that dared to resist the empire to ashes!

Looking at the aggressive imperial army, Lu Feng chuckled.

"That's almost it. The combat goal of this stage has been achieved. Let our boys withdraw!"

The Panlong Brigade, which was attacking everywhere, was ordered to stop and immediately gave up the last enemy planes at the first command and returned in triumph.

Except for a few injured, no one crashed!

"Very good, raise the shield now, we will withdraw our troops~"

Half a minute later,

In the frightened and angry expressions of the imperial reinforcements, the Xuanwu shield was turned on at full power again, shrouding them like a bright pearl.

And look at the state of the shield...

Gan!

It’s actually at full power!

…
