58. Iron Tooth is coming (3)
Now, all those angry Orec-class fighter were attracted to the mothership by Blade-class fighter led by Tang Xiao. They were no longer covered by the firepower of Ironfang-class cruiser, but instead fell into the barrage of the mothership's close defense system.
And at the same time that the mothership's close-in defense system opened fire, Tang Xiao also led the fighters of the first squadron to turn and rush towards it!
At the same time, Blade-class fighter from the second squadron and the third squadron also took off to join the battle.
At one time, a total of 36 fighter jets from the three squadrons of Fourth Civilization and 12 Aurek-class fighter from Kuken Pirates formed a melee, with the mothership's close defense system providing fire cover.
Under such circumstances, no matter how poor the performance of Blade-class fighter is, it will still be able to fight. What's more, now that Blade fighter has been modified, it has a small fusion engine, a primary energy shield and a red laser weapon. Whether it is firepower, speed or mobility, it is not on the same level as before!
Different from the previous boring situation of two large spaceships circling each other, after both sides took off their fighter jets, the battle entered a fierce state immediately!
A Aurek-class fighter flexibly avoided the fire of the close-in defense gun, and after a few turns, it targeted a Blade-class fighter. The pirate pilot licked his lips cruelly, locked the target and pulled the trigger directly!
Two laser beams instantly illuminated Blade-class fighter ahead, but they did not immediately destroy the fighter jet. The laser beam was blocked by a faint energy shield, and then broke through the energy shield and swept past the side of the fighter jet.
The Blade-class fighter staggered back and flew away, but due to this delay, a close-in defense gun instantly locked onto the pirates, and the Company One shot out a string of bullets, immediately shaking the Orek fighter's shield. Then another Blade-class fighter flew straight over, facing an infrared laser beam!
The Orek fighter's shield was broken and he tried to escape, but the plane's engine suddenly burst into flames! The special engine oil of Tatooine added by Cun Te did not have a lubricating effect. On the contrary, it directly destroyed the engine!
How could the target that had been locked by the mothership's fire control system escape at this time? Several close-in defense guns fired at the same time, tearing the fighter jet into pieces in an instant!
Tang Xiao drove the fighter jet through an arc in space, locked onto an Orek fighter jet and began to accelerate closer.
At this moment, he was not at all nervous and fresh about flying a fighter jet into a space battle. Instead, he calmed down and watched everything around him through Force sense.
Under his control, Blade-class fighter flicked the wings, and a laser beam shot behind him instantly. He did not turn, but continued flying towards the target he had just locked. The fighter's avionics system showed that the distance to the target was 250km, and he decisively opened fire on the left side of the Aurek-class fighter!
Almost at the same time he pulled the trigger, the Aurek-class fighter was forced back by the mothership's close-in defense gun. It turned to the left and was just under the gun of Tang Xiao!
The red laser beam drew a long mark on Aurek-class fighter's shield, and then the shield was broken! Tang Xiao controls the fighter jet to follow the opponent's movements like brown candy. No matter the opponent turns or rolls, the laser irradiation never stops.
Three seconds later, Aurek-class fighter exploded into a ball of fire and scattered in all directions. There was neither sadness nor joy in Tang Xiao's eyes, and he steered the plane towards another enemy plane.
The battle only lasted about 5 minutes, and all 12 pirate Aurek-class fighters were destroyed. However, with their better fighter performance, they still shot down 3 Blade-class fighters, of which 2 pilots were killed and 1 was seriously injured.
But Fourth Civilization's fighter planes had no intention of stopping. After annihilating all the pirate fighters, all the fighter planes in the mothership took off, a total of 70 Blade fighter and 3 Hammer-class frigate.
Except for the YVX-865 Auro class freighter that did not participate in the battle, all the flying spaceships Fourth Civilization rushed over.
In Ironfang-class cruiser, 'Iron Tooth'-Kuken was furious, "Waste! They are all waste!! Those fighter jets look like rubbish! They can't even defeat a pile of rubbish! Waste!!"
"Boss, the situation is not good... should we retreat first?" the first mate whispered.
"Asshole! Will the people who retreated from us die in vain now? Is my Proton Torpedo used in vain?" Kuken slapped him in the face and roared, "Keep firing! Fire all the Proton Torpedo in stock! Immediately ask people to get in position on the close-in defense cannon! Shoot down those junk fighter jets for me!"
The pirates immediately took action. Two people sat in each of the eight close-in defense guns, one was responsible for aiming, and the other was responsible for firing.
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Kuken's mouth, "I have been doing robberies for so many years, how could I not know the weakness of Hammerhead-class cruiser? I have installed more close-in defense cannons long ago! You small planes can only come here to die!"
At the same time, Fourth Civilization's fighter group has flown over!
After entering the range, there is a wave of Gemini missile! More than a dozen missiles exploded on the cruiser, followed by more than a dozen more. After entering the laser range, the infrared laser cannons of these fighters swept across the cruiser one after another.
"Fire!! Shoot them down!!" the pirate on the close defense turret roared, aiming at the target and preparing to fire. However, as soon as they stepped on the pedal, they were surprised to find that the turret did not move at all!
Several gunners panicked and connected to the bridge communication and shouted, "The boss is in trouble! All the close-in defense turrets cannot rotate!!"
"I checked, and the wiring to the seat ring has been cut off!"
"You are all a bunch of idiots!! What did the people in the engineering team eat to grow up!! Fix it for me immediately!!" Kuken's face suddenly darkened, and he roared so loudly that his voice became hoarse. The unpleasant voice sounded even more disgusting, like a pregnant male duck screaming.
There was chaos on the cruiser.
At this time, Cun Te, who had been in the cargo hold, finally seized the opportunity. After the battle progressed to this point, the pirates who were originally guarding them all ran to pay attention to the battle, and there was no one guarding them here.
He whispered to the civilians who were also imprisoned around him, "Don't worry, Kuken will be finished soon! I will find a way to rescue you. Now don't make any noise, I will go out to create some chaos, and then find the location of the rescue cabin."
Those civilians were originally invited by the pirates to sing, dance, drink and clean. They had long been paralyzed by fear. Now that they heard that they could be saved, they all nodded and made way for Cun Te to get out.
