Chapter 607 Aircraft Group Air Combat

"We can make up for the gap in quantity with quality." Li Mingze waved his hand gently.

"The fleet forms a cone array, and the warships equipped with dimensional armor are at the front of the array. All aircraft carriers are ready to launch carrier-based aircraft and wait for my order. The three Titan-class warships will not directly participate in the battle, but stay in the rear to repair damaged warships and assist in calculations!" Li Mingze calmly commanded while looking at the images of spaceships representing the fleets of both sides in the hologram in front of him.

One by one, the imperial warships began to leave their original positions and gather in the middle, and soon a huge cone array appeared on the imperial side.

The Zerg warships on the opposite side did not change at all, and they were still waiting for the imperial fleet to approach in a disorderly manner.

"Listen to my orders! The Zeus-class warship formation is moving at full speed, and all aircraft carriers are starting to release fighters!" Li Mingze decisively issued an order after watching the electronic clock on the wall and reaching the hour.

After his order was issued, the aircraft carriers behind the imperial fleet opened the armor on both sides of the warships outward, and a series of black shuttle-shaped fighters distributed in a honeycomb pattern revealed their sharp noses.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1! All fighters launch!"

Fighters shot out from the aircraft carrier like a swarm of bees, and after drawing a huge arc in the air, they rushed to the front of the Imperial Fleet.

In just a few seconds, the Imperial Fleet gathered tens of millions of fighters. After slightly adjusting the formation in front of the fleet, these fighters took the lead and rushed to the Zerg fleet. The Empire's Zeus-class battleship formation followed closely behind these fighters and relied on the "wall" formed by fighters for cover.

The pilots of these fighters are all newly awakened clones, and their samples come from the 100 most elite fighter pilots of the Empire.

The clones who have the memory and instincts of these aces are still able to control the fighters even if they have just left the hatch.

The Empire's fighters constantly change their trajectories in the air, as if showing their superb driving skills to the Zerg fleet.

And on the Zerg fleet side, disc-shaped creatures that are about the same size as the Empire's fighters also flew out of the Zerg array.

These disc-shaped biological fighters have four long tentacles behind their disc-shaped bodies, and they do not have weak organs such as eyes.

"Fire!" With Li Mingze's loud shout, the pilots of the Imperial fighters put the Zerg biological fighters that were rushing into the sights.

Armor-piercing shells were tilted out like a downpour and shot into the biological fighter group.

These flying machine gun shells hit the outer shell of the Zerg biological fighters and emitted bursts of fire. After a while, they penetrated the seemingly hard outer shell of the biological fighters and blew the soft flesh inside into a blur.

The biological fighters were not to be outdone, and bone spur shells were fired from the launch port in the front section of the disc-shaped fuselage at the Imperial fighters.

Unfortunately, the pilots of the Imperial fighters were clones combined with the abilities of ace pilots. These bone spurs were like slow motion in the movie for these "aces".

With the onboard computer, the Imperial fighters can easily avoid these traceable bone spur shells.

As a result, the long-range attack of the Zerg biological fighters had almost no effect.

"Speed ​​up immediately and attack close to me! I don't believe you can dodge after the distance is shortened!" The Zerg Queen saw that her fleet was at a disadvantage at the beginning of the battle and roared angrily.

The speed of the Zerg fleet that received the angry order of the Queen Mother became faster and faster. In a few minutes, the biological fighters collided with the Empire fleet.

At the moment when the two sides intersected, the Empire and Zerg fighters made various maneuvers and tried to pass by each other from the side, but because the number of fighters was too large, even if they avoided the enemy aircraft that hit them head-on, they might hit other enemy aircraft or friendly aircraft when they moved sideways.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides met, a violent explosion of fire flashed continuously on the intersecting line.

Every time a fire appeared, it meant that an Empire fighter and the Zerg biological fighter died together.

After the two sides passed each other, it was time for the Empire's clone aces to play.

After a brief contact, the two sides passed each other. Under the control of the clone aces, the Empire's fighter planes made a 180-degree turn in the air and aimed the cannons on the nose at the Zerg group that was leaving.

At this time, the advantage of the Empire's fighter planes with thrusters all over their bodies was revealed. The Empire's fighter planes could easily rely on these thrusters to turn on the spot.

Due to the physiological structure of the Zerg biological fighter planes, there were only one or two jet nozzles in each direction that could propel their movement.

This resulted in the Zerg fighter planes having to draw a large arc in space if they wanted to turn around.

While they were drawing the arc, the Empire's fighter pilots had already pulled the trigger in their hands and sent shells into the bodies of the Zerg fighter planes.

Suddenly, the Zerg warships exploded like smashed watermelons. In just a few seconds, nearly 10 million biological fighter planes were directly torn apart.

"Damn it! Keep producing hummingbirds!" the Zerg queen ordered angrily.

If the Sith Empire fighters cannot be destroyed in front of the battle, and if they get close, it will greatly affect the Zerg fleet's operations.

And all Zerg warships, because each warship carries a large number of Hummingbird fighters, do not have any anti-aircraft weapons.

That is to say, the Zerg warships only have the ability to attack warships, and if they want to deal with small fighter units, they can only rely on the hummingbird fighters carried inside them.

However, these Zerg biological fighters also have a great advantage, that is, their manufacturing is simple, fast and convenient.

Each hummingbird fighter can be hatched in just two hours, and they do not consume much nutrition, which also makes the Zerg fleet have the confidence to use the sea of ​​machines to drown the enemy.

But

Unfortunately, they encountered the Sith Empire, which has all kinds of technologies. As a hodgepodge civilization whose technology tree has been distorted to the point where it is unknown.

The production of fighters has never been a problem for the Empire.

After the first batch of fighters were destroyed by Zerg fighters, new fighters began to be built in the aircraft carriers behind the Imperial Fleet.

Because they are within the coverage of the Empire's material transmission, the resources of all aircraft carriers are equivalent to unlimited.

Brand-new fighters are being printed out bit by bit, and when they are printed, they will be sent to the launch bay for standby.

In the central area of ​​the aircraft carrier, rows of incubators are nurturing clones that are close to completion. After they wake up, they will immediately drive their fighter jets to join the Empire's fleet!
