Idle game leads to another world

Chapter 1230 Meteorite Belt Lightning Operation (5)

The large-scale carrier-based aircraft raid was very effective. More than 3,000 carrier-based aircraft attacked in waves, fired nearly 7,000 torpedoes, and cooperated with the cruisers near the mobile aircraft carrier and the naval guns of the main fleet of the Spin Water Federation. One round of raids destroyed nearly 40 Red Maple Republic warships.

This was something that was unthinkable before. It can be said to be the highlight of carrier-based aircraft. Every pilot knows that everything they do will probably be on the textbooks of various military academies in the future.

This is a case where carrier-based aircraft have never been effective against warships before.

But then again, 7,000 torpedoes only caused damage to nearly 40 warships, and it was in conjunction with the effect of fleet firepower coverage, so the killing efficiency was not high.

The main reason was that the anti-aircraft firepower of the warship was too strong, and the speed of the torpedo fired at a safe distance was too slow. Unless multiple torpedoes attacked at the same time, the anti-aircraft guns could easily respond.

And this situation is difficult to replicate. After the Red Maple Republic fleet was full of torpedoes, it finally made the fleet turn and was gradually moving away from the meteorite belt.

This means that if they want to launch similar attacks in the future, the pilots will take great risks and drop bombs close to the anti-aircraft guns or even naval guns that will be attacked from a long distance.

Moreover, the loss of only 40 warships is just a small loss for the Red Maple Republic Fleet, which has more than 2,000 warships. They still have the strength to fight.

After the carrier-based aircraft completes the bombing, they must go back to reload. This time difference will also give the Red Maple Republic Fleet a chance to breathe. How to reorganize the fleet for attack has become the biggest test for the flight commander.

Hall got into the membrane airlock of the Swan and stopped steadily in the hangar.

Fang Lanyin, wearing a protective suit, immediately led the logistics personnel to rush up, and quickly checked the condition of the fighter and reloaded the torpedo on the fighter.

Taking this opportunity, Hall opened the hatch, threw off his helmet, took the mineral water sent by the ground staff, and took a big sip.

Although all the pilots have to do now is just to fly over, drop bombs, and return, it is really simple in appearance. Driving a space fighter consumes a lot of physical strength, and this battle is far from over, and it can even be regarded as the end of the beginning.

So when the pilots return, they must not only take the time to rest, but sometimes even need to change diapers.

Yes, this is the same as modern pilots. Everyone goes to the battlefield wearing diapers.

"Didn't Brother Li come back with you?"

"He went out to play by himself."

Fang Lanyin had an expression of "I knew it".

"You should have unloaded his backpack before leaving. Without anti-ship weapons, he should not act alone."

The standard weapons of the lionfish are still ion beams and machine guns. These weapons cannot cause effective damage to warships. Even if Li Chengxi can penetrate the shield, at most he can fire a few shots at the warship's engine to make it stop, but he cannot destroy it.

Fang Lanyin looked away guiltily. Alyssa had said to take off the backpack, but Fang Lanyin could not resist Li Chengxi's request and secretly put it back on.

As she was talking, the inverted Y-shaped body of the Lionfish drove in from the other side of the light green membrane airlock.

Fang Lanyin and Hall showed surprised expressions for a moment. No, you came back so soon?

It's not normal. Didn't you always go out until the energy was exhausted or the ammunition was used up?

The Lionfish stopped on the other side, and as the engine was shut down, a group of ground crews rushed up.

Then, Li Chengxi's voice sounded on Fang Lanyin's personal terminal:

"I need to re-mount the torpedoes, and it's better to refill the machine gun ammunition."

"Machine gun? Brother Li, did you fight with the fleet?"

"Almost."

Listening to Li Chengxi's voice, it seems that his mood is not very good.

"I only destroyed three warships, and the Red Maple Republic's carrier-based aircraft group arrived. There were nearly 200 aircraft. I had no choice but to fight and retreat at the same time."

"....."

He still said something incredible in a calm tone as always.

The ground staff had already connected the Lionfish with equipment. On the one hand, they were checking whether the systems were intact, just like using a computer to check whether there were any problems with the car.

On the other hand, they were extracting the Lionfish's flight records for later maintenance and adjustment. Hall also needed these data to practice in the virtual machine.

So every time the Lionfish came back, there would be this operation, which was specially instructed by Fang Lanyin.

In this flight record, it can be clearly seen that Li Chengxi destroyed a total of two destroyers and one frigate in this attack. As for the record of more than a dozen space fighters, which was enough for ordinary pilots to be promoted to ace, they could simply be ignored...

Fang Lanyin had already run to get spray paint, ready to paint a few more stars on the Lionfish.

However, at this time, Alyssa got through to Fang Lanyin first:

"Have Hall and Li Chengxi returned?"

"Just returned."

Alyssa was also a little surprised when she heard this. After all, Li Chengxi had never acted according to the plan before, but this was not the point.

She immediately said:

"Continue the preparation work. We need to maneuver and change positions now. We will wait for new orders before the carrier-based aircraft will set off."

Again... another show?

–--——---——

The results of the battle caused by the carrier-based aircraft were actually quite unexpected. In fact, when the military of the Xuanshui Federation was formulating tactics, many people believed that the best result would be for the carrier-based aircraft to cause chaos to the Red Maple Republic's fleet. Now that they could cause additional casualties, it was an unexpected surprise.

But the command of the Xuanshui Federation obviously did not open champagne at halftime. They knew very clearly that this level of damage was still not worth mentioning for the Red Maple Republic's fleet. Continuing to blindly use carrier-based aircraft to attack would not only have limited effects, but the well-prepared Red Maple Republic fleet would also cause heavy casualties to the carrier-based aircraft fleet.

Although pilots are consumables, consumables must be used in the right place. Indiscriminate consumption is dereliction of duty.

So after the first wave of torpedo attacks, all carrier-based aircraft returned and did not immediately launch a second wave of torpedo attacks.

On the one hand, it was because the Red Maple Republic fleet was well prepared and would not have the same surprise attack effect as the first time. On the other hand, it was because the Red Maple Republic fleet had completed its turn to leave the vicinity of the meteorite belt, and the effect of the carrier-based aircraft launching another attack was also very limited.

After all carrier-based aircraft have been recovered, the cruiser will launch an artillery cover, and cooperate with the mobile aircraft carrier to use the meteorite belt as a cover to retreat.

They will change their attack positions and prepare for the next large-scale air strike.
