Chapter 1265: Fire Line Reward!
"Fire!"
"Get as close as possible to the outer edge of the enemy's star shield."
"All fighters lock onto the Star Shield area at position XX. Launch interstellar missiles in ten seconds, tear through the Star Shield defenses, and charge in!"
"Don't slow down, or you'll get locked on by the enemy's close-in weapon system!"
"Be careful to use enemy starships as cover to avoid attacks from other interstellar warships!"
Zhao Chen's words continued to be heard on the command channel.
What's in front of us is a T4-class interstellar destroyer.
I don't know what model it is.
Zhao Chen couldn't care less about that now.
"Star missile, launch!"
At a single command, hundreds of interstellar missiles targeted a position on the Star Shield and opened fire.
A massive explosion occurred.
A gap has appeared in the star shield of this star destroyer.
This is a drawback common to most Star Shield technologies, and it is more pronounced in lower-level interstellar warships.
That is, when a point in the fully enclosed Star Shield is subjected to a high-intensity attack, a vulnerability will appear.
This vulnerability takes about ten seconds to self-repair.
As a starship engineer, Zhao Chen was naturally very clear about this.
Right now, a gap has appeared in the star shield of this star destroyer.
"Charge in!" Zhao Chen gave the order decisively.
Leading his team, he was the first to charge forward.
Destroying the first enemy ship was the first and crucial step for Zhao Chen's flight squadron to survive!
"Remove all the close-in weapon systems from this starship!" Zhao Chen ordered.
"yes!"
Hundreds of interstellar warships rushed in and immediately began to press close to the hull of this interstellar warship, first removing the close-in weapon systems (CIWS) turrets.
At this moment, the surface of the interstellar warship was constantly filled with flashes of light and smoke from the explosions.
This T4 star destroyer was completely powerless to fight back against the attacks of these starships for a time.
Zhao Chen glanced in the direction of the super meteorite belt.
I have found the breakthrough.
Whether they can be captured depends on these Star Alliance generals and high-ranking officials.
...
"Report! A flight squadron has broken through the enemy's interstellar battleship defenses and is currently engaged in close combat with the enemy interstellar battleships!"
The pilot of a T6 starfighter hovering in a super asteroid belt heard his subordinate's words.
If Zhao Chen were here, he would be surprised to find...
This person was none other than the brigadier general who had previously led him to become a starfighter pilot.
It's unlikely that anyone would have imagined that a brigadier general would personally pilot a starfighter and risk his life to reach the front lines to oversee the battle.
Although he was piloting a T6 starfighter, he was surrounded by thousands of escorting starfighters.
But the risk is still very high.
"What?
In less than five minutes of fighting, they broke through the enemy's firepower?
"Who has displayed such extraordinary bravery!" the brigadier general exclaimed.
"It is the 18th Squadron of the 3rd Flight Group under the command of your flagship!"
Squad Commander Zhao Chen!
When I heard this name.
The brigadier general was stunned for a long time.
Only then did he realize that this was the person he had specifically recruited because of his talent and skills.
I never expected to give myself such a stunning performance so quickly.
"How did he do that?" the brigadier general asked, still somewhat skeptical.
"Please take a look at these relevant combat images." The subordinate transmitted a recorded combat video to the brigadier general commander.
Watching the battle footage.
The brigadier general's eyes widened in surprise.
"Using this kind of jamming white mist bomb, without any external assistance, one can blindly pilot a starfighter into the enemy's territory."
Moreover, this seems to be some kind of tactical formation, which greatly reduces the attack surface of the squadron by shortening the interval between the starfighters!
That's amazing!
How did Zhao Chen come up with all this?
How dare they do such a thing!
The brigadier general praised it repeatedly.
To be honest, the use of this white mist bomb isn't particularly special.
But the problem is he dares to use it!
Driving blindly through a white fog of grenades, especially for a small squad, is an extremely difficult task.
This requires a courageous and resourceful squad commander to have a chance of succeeding.
"We originally thought that we would need to lose at least hundreds of thousands of starfighters before we could hope to break through the enemy's firepower."
I never expected this kid to give me such a big surprise.
We can't let his efforts go to waste.
Relay my orders.
Each flight squadron, focus on breaking through in the direction of XX/XX/XX!
"Tear open this opening!" the brigadier general commanded.
Thanks to the opening created by the 18th squad, the enemy's defensive firepower at this location has been significantly reduced.
Although they did not carry weapons such as white fog grenades.
However, if they break through at this position, their chances of success will increase significantly.
Moreover, the 18th Squad is also engaged in fierce fighting there.
They couldn't possibly stand by and watch someone die.
This is a good opportunity!
Under orders from superiors.
A large fleet of interstellar fighters charged forward at full speed along the route taken by Zhao Chen's 18th squadron, charging through enemy fire.
This, of course, led to a significant increase in deaths and injuries.
However, a short time later, the explosion of a starship on the opposite side instantly ignited the passion of all the starfighter pilots.
And a passage from the all-channel communication.
This made them feel like they had been injected with chicken blood.
"I am Song Jiawei!"
The supreme commander of this operation.
Here, I would like to give special commendation to all the pilots of the 18th Squadron of the 3rd Flight Group, belonging to the T5 Crocius-class medium carrier starship X092.
They were the first to break out of the enemy's starship position and the first to destroy an enemy starship.
Therefore, I hereby announce this directly.
The number of the 18th Flight Squadron will be permanently retained; it will be promoted to the 18th Flight Group!
Zhao Chen, the captain of the 18th Flight Squadron, was promoted directly to captain!
All soldiers of the 18th Flight Squadron are now promoted one rank!
Further awards were given after the war.
Furthermore, I hereby declare that any flight squadron or platoon that successfully penetrates enemy lines and performs exceptionally well will be richly rewarded!
This is a commendation for the public frequency communication.
It was as if the eyes of those charging interstellar fighter pilots were glowing red.
A starfighter pilot was promoted to captain!
He was just one step away from becoming a colonel.
Basically, as long as this guy named Zhao Chen can return alive after this battle, his rank of major is practically guaranteed.
In addition, there's the legend surrounding the captain of the 18th Squad.
In the short span of a single battle, he was promoted two major military ranks.
This can absolutely be called a legend in the history of the Covenant!
