57. Iron Tooth is coming (2)
Orec-class fighter is also a fighter from the Sith Wars period one or two thousand years ago. Although it is only a 9.2-meter-long triangular light fighter, it is equipped with Proton Torpedo, which is a multi-functional fighter. During the Sith Wars period, it was the main model of Galactic Republic.
Although it is far behind now, considering that Galactic Republic has been in disrepair for more than a thousand years, its backwardness is not as outrageous as it seemed a thousand years ago.
Even though these Orec-class fighter are no longer comparable to the main fighters in the galaxy now, with a cruiser and carrier-based aircraft, the strength of Iron Tooth-Kuken is definitely the kind of fatal threat among pirates.
12 Orec-class fighter flew around the mothership, firing airborne Proton Torpedo from different angles while constantly firing with laser cannons.
But the mothership remained motionless.
In the bridge of the mothership, Tang Xiao looked steadily at the battlefield situation projected holographically in front of him.
The current battle situation can be described as boring. Two spaceships, one large and one small, are constantly circling, and 12 small fighter jets are working hard to attack. But even so, Tang Xiao still stared at the holographic projection, and did not blink until his eyes became numb.
"The power of the energy shield decreased by 1%! Proton Torpedo is more powerful than we expected." Qi Jian turned around and said.
Tang Xiao nodded and asked, "According to Mainframe's simulation, how long does it take for the opponent to penetrate our shield?"
"According to the inventory of the other party Proton Torpedo, this time ranges from 200 hours to 1700 hours." Qi Jian replied.
"Are we sure about our plan?" Tang Xiao asked again.
"Seventy percent." Carl Si-Walton replied with a serious face.
Tang Xiao has already begun to unbutton his coat, revealing his well-trained muscles and tight-fitting flight suit, "The command is given to you. Give the order, the first wave of fighter jets will take off in 10 minutes!!"
"Yes!"
Tang Xiao doesn't stop there, just take the elevator down to the huge Hangar Platform. There, 73 modified Blade fighters have been prepared, all pilots are in place, and ground crews are making final preparations.
He walked directly to one of the free fighter jets and jumped on it nimbly.
Since awakening the Force, Tang Xiao has been training himself in various ways, and he also understands that with the help of the Force, he will be even more powerful when flying the spacecraft.
So he also started Blade fighter's driving training a few days ago, and the progress was very fast.
"Manager, you can definitely 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 gave a thumbs up in response, then pressed the button to close the cockpit and start the fighter engine.
At this time, the lights in the hangar turned red, and the voice of Mainframe sounded, [The First Fighter Squadron is preparing to take off. Repeat, Fighter Squadron 1 prepares for takeoff.]
Tang Xiao's eyes became sharp. He pushed the joystick suddenly, and the fighter jet flew straight out like an arrow from the string!
As soon as the scene in front of him darkened, he had entered the endless space. According to the guidance of the onboard navigation system, he pushed the joystick to the left and controlled the aircraft to fly in that direction.
Passing around the mothership, the green figure of Dawn Star Planet appeared in front of us, as well as the Hammerhead-class cruiser that was firing wildly at the mothership!
"Target confirmed." Tang Xiao looked at the cruiser coldly.
"Act as planned! The First Squadron conducts a probing attack!" Carls-Walton's voice came from the communication.
"Roger. First Squadron, follow me." Tang Xiao pushed the joystick and led all 12 fighters of the First Squadron to rush towards the cruiser.
It seemed that they did not expect that the silent mothership would suddenly take off fighter jets. The opponent's 12 Orec-type fighter jets did not come to intercept them immediately. This also showed the lack of discipline and training of the pirates.
After entering the launch position, Tang Xiao shouted into the communicator, "The first squadron opens fire! Conduct the first wave of missile attacks!"
After speaking, his thumb lifted the fire button safety, Fire Control Radar aimed at Hammerhead-class cruiser with the assistance of the mothership's data link, and then pressed the button fiercely!
At the belly of the aircraft, a 2-meter-long Gemini air-to-air missile was instantly ignited and launched, flying straight towards the cruiser.
The Blade fighter of the first squadron were all equipped with Gemini missile models, and they launched the missiles immediately. With the support and correction of the mothership's huge computing power, all 12 missiles hit without exception!
More than a dozen explosions of fire exploded outside Hammerhead-class cruiser and Deflector Shield, but this wave of attacks was still blocked.
The attack was successful. Tang Xiao did not pursue the victory. He immediately turned around with the first squadron and flew towards the side of the mothership.
The 12 pirate Aurek-class fighter immediately followed like sharks smelling blood! After the cruiser was attacked, their madness was also aroused.
Kuken roared angrily in their communication, scolding and causing 12 Aurek-class fighter to rush over and tear all the fighters that were very backward at first glance into pieces!
The First Squadron was not reluctant to fight and quickly arrived at the predetermined area on the side of the mothership. Tang Xiao said in the communication, "The first squadron is already in place."
"Activate the mothership's close defense system, the second squadron takes off!" Qi Jian gave the order from the bridge.
I only saw hatches opening on the huge body of the mothership, and twin-mounted Electromagnetic Cannons rising from them one after another, aiming at the surrounding Orec-class fighters and firing directly!
Countless bullets shot out, forming a barrage around the mothership.
The Aurek-class fighter group was immediately dispersed by this attack. They flew around, flexibly avoiding the attacks of close-in defense artillery.
In fact, the reason why we waited until now to launch the barrage of close-in defense artillery is because the armament of this Kushan Mothership is really not good. There are only 377 close-in defense guns in total, all of which are 30mm caliber twin Electromagnetic Cannon. With a full count of 754 gun tubes, the barrage fired could not completely cover this giant ship that reached an altitude of 41,370 meters.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, these 12 Orec-class fighter can easily avoid the attack of close-in defense artillery, and can also distance themselves. After all, these close-in defense guns are all Electromagnetic Cannon. Although they have unlimited range in the space environment, their accuracy is far off.
These fighter jets can easily fly hundreds of kilometers away. At this distance, even if the close-in defense gun rotates at an angle of 0.01 degrees, there will be an extremely large deviation, and there is no chance of hitting it.
However, don't forget, there is also the Blade-class fighter group led by Tang Xiao!
