Above the sky, on an Earl Hill Empire Sky Battleship with an eagle flag, the commander looked at the burning deck and asked, "How is the damage tube going?"
"The enemy's Prowler fighter plane has just left, and our warships seem to have lost the ability to continue fighting." The adjutant stood beside him and answered.
"There are only two remaining F-15 fighters, one failed to take off, and the other was just blown up on the deck." The commander of the fighter unit wrote helplessness on his face, because he is almost a lonely man now
It's right.
He has no fighter jets to command, so basically there is no job here.
"In addition, the deck of the warship is damaged. If it is not repaired, it will no longer be able to take off the fighter plane to fight." The officer on the side of the damage control stood up and continued to report: "The armor on the port side needs to be replaced, and it has just been attacked by the enemy.
At the place, two pieces of armor were penetrated, and the seven cabins were seriously deformed and could no longer be used."
"The energy crystal reserves of the floating magic array are sufficient, but because the defense magic array has been destroyed many places, it is difficult for us to ensure that the floating magic array will be kept intact in the later enemy attacks...
"After pausing for a second, the officer of the trauma looked at the captain with some embarrassment, then looked at the adjutant, and continued.
There are no fighter jets on their warships, and all the seven revolvers under their jurisdiction have been lost.
Some of the remaining fighter jets were transferred to field airports on the ground, after all, there was still some anti-aircraft gun fire there to cover these aircraft to continue fighting.
The Sky Warship is now a useless target hovering in the air. The 500mm caliber shells have been consumed almost the same. There are only some electromagnetic cannons left on the Sky Warship to continue fighting.
It is regrettable that without the protection of air defense missiles and fighter jets, the sky warships that rely solely on their own air defense firepower are as bulky as battleships.
There is no depth to move, no subsequent weapons and ammunition replenishment, a sky warship can only last for a few days and will be out of ammunition and food after being sieged by the guardians.
On the planet Higgs 5, one after another of the Ailan Hill Empire sky warships crashed. Since the establishment of the Sky warships, the Ailan Hill Empire has not suffered such huge losses.
"There is still 20% of the ammunition reserves left in the near-defense artillery, and the reserves of electromagnetic artillery shells are still about 30%. "The adjutant briefly introduced his ammunition reserves: "There is no way to continue to persevere.
Now.”
He paused and continued, "The Butterfly also sent a message that their ammunition reserves are no more than forty percent."
The Butterfly Sky Battleship is the only sky battleship left in their current state. There are about 20 fighter jets on the battleship, and they have not suffered any fatal damage.
"Request the Butterfly... to transport unrelated personnel to the ground..." The captain glanced at the adjutant beside him and ordered: "Give power to General Andrei, please provide support as much as possible. We
Need an aircraft that can take off and land vertically…”
"I understand! Captain!" The adjutant stood attentively and saluted, then walked towards the communication console to convey the captain's orders.
"Order...ground staff, including air force commanders, liaison officers... warship maintenance personnel, reserve personnel... gathered in places where there was no explosion or fire at the stern of the ship..." The captain looked at the loss commander again and said, "
: "Control the fire as much as possible and do not allow it to continue to spread."
"As for orders! Sir!" The officer of the sanitation police turned around and left the bridge without any trace of mud.
...
Half an hour later, the Z30 vertical take-off and landing engine roared on the deck of the Sky Battleship. A pilot in the passenger seat pulled his seat belt, pushed the side hatch of the plane, and jumped off the plane.
.
"Long live Ailan Hill! Sir!" He saluted a military salute to the captain waiting there and greeted him: "I'm happy to see you! I heard you need help here?"
"Long live Ailan Hill! Lieutenant! I need you to transfer all the excess soldiers on my battleship to the ground!" The captain narrowed his eyes, stood in the bitter wind, and spoke to the pilot in front of him.
"Yes! Sir!" The pilot stood attentively and saluted, then looked at the officers and soldiers who had already assembled: "Please board the plane in an orderly manner, more planes will arrive later!"
After hearing his words, the officer on the Sky Battleship stood attentively and looked back at his subordinates: "Gentlemen! I know everyone is reluctant to leave, but we cannot sacrifice here for vain... for love
Lan Hill, please be sure to fight until the last moment!"
The first non-commissioned officer in work clothes nodded slightly, and then walked into the open Z30 vertical take-off and landing aircraft's cabin door.
Behind him, another non-commissioned officer also followed, and they didn't speak, just a little depressed.
They had to give up their work fighting places, which made them feel very bad.
"Captain! Just leave me here..." The adjutant looked at the captain walking towards the bridge, blocked the other party's way, stood attentively and spoke out.
"Sorry, this is my warship. I want to accompany it for the last part of the way!" The captain took off his big-brimmed hat. There was no QR code on his forehead, which seemed a little empty.
He handed the big-brimmed hat with the golden eagle emblem of the Iran Hill Empire to the adjutant, and smiled and said, "In fact, we are all going to die here in battle, so I just took a step earlier and there is nothing to be depressed.
of."
"You are all young and can still kill enemies on the battlefield with weapons. I am old, just like this warship... Then let us old people, finally use a little bit of residual heat!" He said so.
He opened his hand, left his hat to his adjutant, and walked towards the bridge alone.
It is impossible for everyone to leave. Part of the damage tube is maintained by a robot, and the other part still needs to be repaired by real people. In addition, controlling a sky warship is definitely not something that can be done by just a few people.
Most of the work is actually left to robots to complete, but there are some core work that requires some professionals.
Several non-commissioned officers stood in the hull corridor, waiting for the old captain to walk past him, and stood attentively and saluted.
The old captain also returned the gift meticulously, just like when he took over the command of the warship for the first time and became the captain.
He has inspected every corner of the warship, including the cafeteria and the dirtiest garbage disposal room. He is more familiar with the warship than his own home, because he has been working on it for more than seven years.
During these seven years, he had not even had a holiday and had not returned to his home. His only family reunion was on this battleship.
He really liked this warship very much. In his eyes, this warship is the most powerful and best warship in the world.
Now that the warship is about to reach the end of service, the feeling in his heart is of course the most unpleasant.
"Captain!" An officer stood attentively and saluted as the old captain passed by, and couldn't help but shout.
"I'm disappointing you!" The old captain smiled bitterly on his face, and responded with a military salute and apologized, "I'm sorry!"
"No! Captain! You are the best captain I have ever seen!" The officer said hoarsely with tears in his eyes.
"Thank you! Thank you for accompanying me to the end." The captain put down his saluting arm, looked at the other party's red eyes and nodded in thanks: "Long live Ailan Hill!"
"Long live Ailan Hill!" The officer raised his chin and responded firmly.
On the deck, a Z30 vertical take-off and landing aircraft full of personnel sprayed a blazing flame and flew away from the deck in a slight vibration.
The staff sitting in the cabin looked dullly at the deck that was no longer flat, and the white and yellow lines that distinguished functions on the deck were silent.
The slight sob was covered in the noisy engine roar, and a lady officer could be vaguely seen wiping his eyes.
UH-60 helicopters took off one after another on the deck where fighter jets could no longer take off and land. On the battleships with thick smoke, fewer and fewer people were waiting on the deck.
"Sir! The radar shows that enemy fighter jets are approaching! The fire control of air defense missiles has locked the target... Will it be an interception attack?"
"Fire! Cover the transport aircraft troops! Let them leave safely!" The captain sat in his position and ordered.
"Huh!" Suddenly, an air defense missile soared into the sky on the deck of the battleship not far away. The officers and soldiers who were waiting for the plane to take him away on the deck were all turned around curiously and looked at the one that was leaving.
Air defense missiles.
The launch of air defense missiles with few positions means that the enemy has approached again. The fate of this sky warship seems to have come to an end.
"Huh!" The huge noise sounded again, and the second air defense missile once again dragged away with long white smoke. The air defense artillery on the warship was also powered on and standby.
Rows of automatic guns aimed at the clouds in the distance, and the large-caliber electromagnetic guns had already pointed in that direction.
In order to take off and land the helicopter and to more conveniently control the damaged area, the flight altitude of this sky warship is actually not high.
At about 2,000 meters above the ground, the sky warship twisted its huge body and was turning slowly.
A few minutes later, some small black spots began to appear below the clouds, and some medium-caliber artillery on the sky warships fired at the same time, and the battlefield became even more noisy in an instant.
"These are the last few planes! Let's get on the plane and leave!" An officer held his hat with his hand to avoid being blown away by the helicopter's rotating wings, yelling in the noise of the engine and the sound of artillery fire behind him.
road.
"..." The pilot sitting in the cockpit with a flight helmet nodded slightly, stretched out a thumb, indicating that he was ready to take off.
At this time, there was no take-off management. After the last soldier boarded the plane, the aircraft's cabin door began to close and the helicopter's tires broke off the deck of the battleship.
Almost at the same time, the small black dots under the sea of clouds quickly amplified and spread out in dense artillery fire, turning into one Prowler fighter after another.
"Boom!" A Prowler fighter shuttled through the airtight near-defense artillery fire, found the right opportunity and fired two balls of black energy.
These two black energy hit a close-defense gun on the sky warship that kept firing, directly blowing up the automatic gun that was spitting out the flames.
The two helicopters that took off quickly lowered the altitude at this altitude, and they also knew that there were more and more enemy planes behind them, and it would be very dangerous to stay.
However, two Prowler fighters soon discovered these two UH-60 helicopters that quickly lowered their altitude. They quickly approached from the rear and began to chase the two helpless aircraft.
Black energy came from behind the two helicopters, one after another passing by them.
In the end, a black energy hit a helicopter that was already close to the ground, directly detonating the helicopter's fuel tank, turning the entire helicopter into a ball of flame.
Because it was too close to the ground, the flame directly hit the ground, turning into a larger flame and spreading.
In the flames, another helicopter swayed slightly, passing by an abandoned building on the ground.
The next second, the anti-aircraft guns hidden nearby began to fire. The two Prowler fighters that were approaching the ground due to the pursuit helicopters were directly hit by dense artillery fire and crashed on the ground.
"Boom!" When the two Prowler fighters crashed, the floating battleship of the Iran Hill Empire in the sky also exploded violently.
The Prowler fighter destroyed the magic defense barrier of the warship and destroyed the floating magic array at the bottom of the warship.
The floating magic circle was destroyed, the warship structure was broken, and explosions began to occur in some places, and heavy armor also fell.
"The main thruster is damaged!" The power system commander standing in front of the captain loudly reported the damage to the warship: "The speed of the warship is decreasing!"
"The electromagnetic cannon was destroyed!" The commander of the weapon system looked at his captain: "More than half of the anti-aircraft cannons have been damaged... Our defense is now full of loopholes."
"It's okay...it's okay." The captain sat steadily in his position and looked at the map coordinates in front of him: "We just need to keep the route."
Directly ahead, a huge mountain crossed the bridge porthole. The sky warship with a height of less than 1,000 meters was lowered, and the end of the route was actually the ground.
And that mountain, and all the defensive positions near that mountain, had been occupied by the guardian's troops a few days ago.
Seeing the mountains getting bigger and bigger outside the porthole, the captain closed his eyes and smiled on his face.
