This time, the Polaris Squadron faced a sudden attack from the local air fortress, and was able to successfully evade and return safely, thanks in fact to the help of several aircraft girls.
If it hadn't been for their urgent reminder at the critical moment, then even Wang Yu and the others, who possess ace flying skills, would have disappeared from this world in the laser attack that could burn everything.
You must know that this is a laser weapon, with a speed of approximately 300,000 kilometers per second. At least in the current combat situation, any target being attacked can be said to arrive in an instant - once the attack starts,
That is killing without delay, not to mention the so-called reaction time. Laser attacks can be so fast that you can't even think of reacting.
After all, under the current technical and tactical level, it is difficult to measure something like laser weapons by pure speed - unless the combat environment is lifted into space, and the fleets of both sides use lasers to bombard each other across a distance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
When even the attack of light takes a while to arrive, then it is necessary to talk about "speed and prediction"...
Even though the atmospheric environment will weaken part of the power of the laser, within the range of use of this weapon, it is enough to kill almost all weapons that humans can currently create with one blow.
Even the dominant aircraft carrier on the sea, faced with this death-like beam of light, will inevitably be sunk by one strike as long as it fails to avoid the laser attack range in advance according to the direction of the opponent's weapon.
That's too far.
On the way back, the Polaris Squadron channel remained silent for a long time - Wang Yu felt that there was still the afterimage of the powerful beam of light in front of him, which could not be dissipated no matter how hard he blinked.
He knew that Eileen and the others had made a great contribution this time. Without Ai and the others to help his squadron observe the direction of the enemy's laser weapons, their so-called experience alone would never have been enough to avoid this attack.
Even a pilot with the best eyesight would not be able to observe the movements of a seemingly ordinary enemy weapon module from such a long distance. The only ones who can do this are those with all-round, blind-spot perception.
Just a machine girl.
Or, in other words, if the ones left at the end are not Polaris Squadron, but other non-Gensokyo Empire pilots, then they will definitely be lost in this attack - if they spread out and fly, they might still be able to return alive.
A few, but if they keep the formation, they will probably be destroyed directly.
One attack has the ability to destroy a full squadron, which makes people feel frightened and envious at the same time.
In general, not to mention the powerful air fortress, the brand new laser weapon suddenly brought out by the Aisians on this air fortress really caught them by surprise.
It wasn't until he was about to approach the dome base that Luo Yu spoke quietly.
"Judging from our experience today, facing this kind of enemy, the main force in the future will still be pilots from our Gensokyo base."
It is difficult for Wang Yu to refute.
For ordinary air combat, a machine girl may not be so obvious in improving the pilot's ability, but for this kind of super-standard battle, a machine girl can greatly improve the pilot's ability in this kind of battle.
Its full value is reflected.
Perhaps for Polaris Squadron - or for the pilots from Gensokyo base, this should be one of the few good news. With their machine girls, they face the enemy in battle which is special and beyond ordinary people's expectations.
New weapons can avoid risks in a timely manner and reduce battle damage rates.
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said on the channel: "This foreseeable future... Speaking of which, I can already tell jokes to other pilots in the group."
"What's the joke?"
"It's the good news and bad news joke." Wang Yu explained simply: "I will tell them that there is good news and bad news, and ask them which one they want to hear first - as pilots, they usually want to hear the bad news first.
news, so I will tell them the bad news is that 'the enemy has super weapons beyond our imagination, and the battle in the future will not be easy'..."
Luo Yu somewhat understood what Wang Yu meant, but she still asked: "So, what about the good news?"
"The good news is, 'Hahaha, the enemy's super weapons pose no threat to our squadron.'"
Others in the squadron channel: "..."
After a while, Liu Lingxin muttered: "I always feel that if this continues, you might force the team into a mutiny..."
A layer of rain clouds has enveloped the base.
Although the wind and rain above the base at this time did not reach the point of affecting takeoff and landing, it still caused a certain degree of difficulty in visual landing. Fortunately, everyone has long been accustomed to the strange climate of the base located in the middle of the ocean. In addition, the base does have
It has good landing guidance equipment, so even if it lands in the wind and rain, it won't be a big problem.
In the slanting wind and drizzle, the landing gear of the three Polaris Squadron fighter planes broke through the water film on the runway. The airflow brought by the speed raised white water mist fully mixed with the rain behind the fighter planes, which was full of beauty.
After handing the fighter plane to the ground crew and replacing the flight equipment, the Polaris Squadron also waited for the order from the senior military officer of the base.
The orderly saluted everyone and then said: "The general wants to see you."
There are many officers with general rank in this dome base, but the only one who can be called so directly on this occasion is the general who commands all the imperial troops and a small number of volunteer troops from other countries in the "overseas theater" of Stonehenge.
This general has been in the army for decades. He has made numerous military exploits while also cultivating a large number of military talents. It can be said that he has a lot of talents all over the world. In addition, he has always been clean and honest, does not have too many political involvements, and devotes himself to the construction of the army.
, and his wife is also the eldest princess of the imperial royal family - therefore, this general has a very good reputation in the army, politics, the royal family and among the people, and can be regarded as a core figure in the imperial army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The fact that the imperial military placed such an officer here is enough to show that the former attaches great importance to Stonehenge and its defense.
That's too far.
In short, for the Polaris Squadron, it seems that the situation they encountered today deserves the personal intervention of the top officer.
This admiral is an old man who is over sixty years old - or rather, an elder. Although he is full of white hair, he is still energetic. After members of the Polaris Squadron knocked on his office door, the admiral stood up quickly.
All time-wasting red tape was avoided, and they were all brought to the reception room, where the adjutant was prepared to record important conversations, and then pretended to be attentive, waiting for the Polaris Squadron's report.
Such a neat style is really eye-catching.
No wonder he can take up this extremely critical position.
When he was accompanied by the Imperial Air Force to observe the air fortress, he had already held a meeting with other officers to discuss the new "toys" of the Aisians, but at this time he obviously wanted to get first-hand information from the Polaris Squadron.
Observation data.
Similarly, as the highest-ranking officer in the empire, he is one of the few officers who knows about the existence of the Gensokyo base, so at this time, he hopes to get some more detailed information about the Asia Air Fortress that can be observed by the machine girl.
So Wang Yu simply organized his thoughts and began to report on his squadron's experience today.
From receiving the order, to flying close to the air fortress to observe and observe the details, to being subsequently attacked by laser weapons, and finally explaining the characteristics of those laser weapons that I speculated.
After all, he is an ace pilot who has become a lieutenant colonel and has flown countless missions. Wang Yu naturally knows how to report missions in the shortest and most understandable way while maintaining the maximum amount of information.
Therefore, his explanation is naturally well-organized and well-founded, allowing people to understand the whole story at once.
Wang Yu's clear and concise report and Luo Yu's occasional additions to some details made the general couldn't help but nod secretly.
It is indeed the Gensokyo base, the empire's strategic-level force.
They never disappoint.
"So..." After listening to Wang Yu's story, the general pondered for a moment and then asked: "According to your observations, the laser cannon on the enemy's air fortress is the only one?"
"At least according to our observations, the enemy should only have that one laser cannon." Wang Yu was not sure of the guarantee, so he used some more tactful words: "The laser cannon that attacks us is placed throughout the entire
In the upper middle of the Flying Fortress is a semi-buried lens device, and there are a large number of energy circuits that work with it. This means that the weapon occupies a very large volume - we did not see it in the Flying Fortress.
to a second similar device."
"My personal thoughts are the same as yours. The enemy will not have a second laser weapon like this."
The admiral said: "According to the technological level of the empire, a weapon capable of such power would not be small in size. I don't think the Aisians have the ability to develop a laser weapon that is small in size and can be concealed."
"Sir, the Aisian air fortress..."
Luo Yu said this as if he wanted to remind the general not to simply use the empire's technical level to seduce Asia.
"Although we did not expect the Aisian air fortress." The admiral smiled: "But this thing does not exceed our current technical level - to put it simply, if the empire wants to build it, it can definitely be built.
"
Luo Yu nodded and said nothing more.
"Then, that's the second thing you observed." The admiral continued to ask: "That laser weapon cannot attack continuously, right?"
"We didn't observe it carrying out a second attack, so we can't guarantee it." Wang Yu hesitated: "However, after we suffered the first attack, the other party did not launch a second attack on us.
, even if we are still within its range, there are only two possibilities. The first is that the enemy does not want to kill everyone, and uses this weapon just for testing; the second is that the enemy uses this weapon.
It needs to be cooled down and cannot be fired continuously."
The admiral looked at Wang Yu: "I want to know, which possibility do you prefer?"
"Second type."
"What's the reason?"
"This is a special weapon used by the enemy on the air fortress. We didn't have any information before, so in theory it should remain mysterious. So if it is the first possibility, I don't know the reason why they don't continue to attack.
Since we have the ability to fire continuously, we should continue to attack after the attack fails until we are all shot down to avoid leaking the secret."
Wang Yu said his conjecture: "And if it is a weapons test, then the enemy should conduct it when our squadron is present. In this way - to put it bluntly - in this way, the maximum attack effect can be achieved to evaluate them.
The power of weapons.
"So I personally think that they didn't expect us to arrive for close observation before, so they started to prepare the weapon temporarily. But when they completed the preparation, all our flying troops evacuated, so they had no choice but to stay in that airspace.
We launched an attack."
The admiral nodded slightly.
"I will submit your opinions to the intelligence department, and they will conduct a comprehensive analysis.
"Then the next question is, do you think that if the enemy puts this air fortress into the battlefield, we - I mean, can we effectively deter it by using the only troops currently in our base?
?”
When Wang Yu heard this, he thought of his previous cold joke and couldn't help but glance at Luo Yu.
Luo Yu coughed slightly, and then rushed to say as if he was afraid that Wang Yu would open his mouth and follow the general to tell good and bad news: "Enemy weapons-at least those weapons that need to change their form obviously before attacking, are not suitable for those who are born in
The pilots of the Gensokyo base do not pose a threat. For example, the laser weapons we encountered today have a long preparation time before attacking, and they also have identifiable attack actions when launched, so we can be on guard in advance, but...
"
She was silent for a moment, and then continued: "I don't think other pilots have the ability to prepare in advance and avoid such an attack."
"Even if you have given advance warning?"
"No, even we need to concentrate when we want to avoid the attack." Luo Yu added: "Even if we tell the friendly forces that an attack is coming, we have no time to care about whether the friendly forces are in the path of the enemy's attack.
"
"What about the girls around you...called Zhan Ji? Can they not maintain their full concentration on the battlefield?"
"Their energy will be focused on determining the relative position of their own aircraft and the enemy's attack."
"That's it..." The admiral nodded: "It seems we can't take this shortcut. We have to think of a better way."
Then, he asked Wang Yu and the others some questions before letting them leave.
The burden on this general's shoulders is heavy.
The new weapons of the Asiatics have indeed brought some trouble to the empire. I just hope that the empire can come up with countermeasures as soon as possible.
Because there are only a few months until the meteorite arrives.
