Chapter 1255: The most handsome captain!
The sight of DK9566, a starfighter, blocking three interstellar missiles, stunned everyone.
The next second.
"Oh no! The captain's star shield energy is far from enough to withstand the attack of three star missiles!"
I don't know who shouted that in the communication channel.
In that instant, everyone's blood pressure spiked.
After this battle, almost all the members of the 18th Squad had a deep respect for their captain.
And now, this captain is putting himself in danger in order to protect his team members!
This was something that surprised everyone.
The first two interplanetary missiles launched hit DK9566's Star Shield, and as expected, the Star Shield ran out of energy and dissipated.
This is the last interplanetary missile left.
But the next second everyone was incredulous.
The DK9566's machine guns opened fire.
The last interplanetary missile was hit and exploded some distance from DK9566!
The smoke from the explosion even covered DK9566.
Everyone was amazed by the captain's incredible skills and extraordinary mental fortitude.
Because you have to understand that you can't intercept interstellar missiles on their way using only fighter jets and cannons.
This is theoretically possible, but it is extremely difficult to actually achieve.
Firstly, fighter jet cannons have a very short range, while interstellar missiles fly at high speeds.
This means that your machine guns can only pose a real threat to interstellar missiles for a short period of time, perhaps just a few breaths.
At the same time, the machine gun's attack range is not large, consisting of only a straight line of bullets.
Therefore, once the interstellar missile enters its attack range, it is necessary to precisely target and attack it.
Only then can it be destroyed.
It sounds simple.
However, the slightest mistake could lead to the destruction of the interstellar fighter and the loss of life.
Furthermore, if this operation is performed while StarShield is active, it is not very effective, because the shockwave from the explosion will still affect StarShield's energy.
Therefore, the most amazing part is that this operation was completed without Star Shield.
There is also a risk.
If the explosion is too close to the starfighter, it could cause the starfighter to crash due to the shockwave.
So at this moment, everyone in the 18th squad was on tenterhooks.
Staring into the smoke and dust.
The next second, a somewhat disheveled interstellar warship flew out from the smoke and dust.
That was the captain's DK0566!
"Holy crap! Captain is awesome!"
"The captain's actions are so skillful they could be written into a textbook."
"I hereby declare that from this day forward, the captain will be my idol!"
Zhao Chen ignored the celebratory words that sounded like New Year's greetings coming from the communication channel.
He first checked the current status of the starfighter.
The Star Shield's energy is completely depleted.
The fighter jet was slightly affected by the shockwave.
But the impact is not significant.
It can still fly normally.
"Remember to maintain formation."
"Continue the retreat!" Zhao Chen gave the order.
"Captain, the starfighter that attacked you is still on your flank."
"We'll avenge you!" someone said in the communication channel.
Upon hearing this, many more people chimed in.
"That son of a bitch dared to ambush our captain."
My Starfighter still has one Star Missile, and my Star Shield has 15% remaining! Let me collect them!
I'll make sure he never leaves alive!
Listening to the noisy chatter on the communication channel.
Zhao Chen frowned and snapped, "Shut up, all of you."
Forgot what I told you before?
Obey orders and follow commands.
Are you going to disobey my orders?!
Hearing the captain's somewhat angry words.
The team members all quieted down and didn't dare to say anything more.
Zhao Chen glanced at the enemy plane on the flank that had just finished its sneak attack and was about to retreat.
If you think about revenge at this point, you might miss the opportunity to retreat.
It only increases casualties.
This is a very foolish thing to do for an enemy plane.
Afterwards, Zhao Chen's eighteenth squad returned to the mothership without incident and requested permission to return to the mothership's hangar.
One by one, the interstellar fighters began to land and return to the combat hangar.
Zhao Chen's interstellar fighter was among the last to return.
When Zhao Chen's interstellar fighter appeared in the combat hangar, its hatch opened.
Zhao Chen stood up and saw that hundreds of people in front of the fighter jet were staring at him.
"Captain!" they shouted in unison, then saluted Zhao Chen.
They offer their highest respect.
What are you doing here?
Everyone, get back to the lounge.
"Wait for the next combat mission." Zhao Chen shouted sharply.
The team members chuckled and left one by one.
Some people kept glancing back at the captain's landline as they left.
DK9566.
It wasn't very clear from space before.
Now, looking at it from such a close distance.
You can see dents on the fuselage, which were caused by the impact of several small fragments during the explosion.
It's easy to imagine how dangerous it was at the time.
If these small fragments directly penetrate the machine body and hit a critical location.
That's a very dangerous thing.
And the captain, under those circumstances, still resolutely did that kind of thing.
He commands our sincere respect.
Zhao Chen stepped off his interstellar fighter.
Given the current state of the interstellar fighter, it is unable to continue fighting and needs to rest and recuperate.
As the team that is in the first battle, they have one privilege.
That means that after the first combat mission, the operation can be ended and a few hours of rest can be taken.
This time is for pilots who are new to combat to calm their nerves.
At the same time, the captain and veterans will criticize and correct their actions during combat.
In this way, the "blood baptism" phase of a new squad can be considered truly over.
When Zhao Chen turned around, he found that there was still a figure standing there.
"Why aren't you {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} going back to the lounge?" Zhao Chen asked, looking at the man with a puzzled expression.
The man suddenly knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Captain, thank you for saving me."
If it weren't for you.
"I...I...I'm already dead..." This boy was Xiao Yang, the one from the distressed interstellar fighter plane.
His eyes were filled with tears at that moment.
Zhao Chen frowned and stared at him.
He walked right past him without turning his head and said, "My team members aren't just crybabies."
They wouldn't easily kneel on the ground.
I'll pretend I didn't see it this time.
Get back there right now.
If you do this again, I'll make you wash everyone's underwear in the squad!
Xiao Yang couldn't help but chuckle when he heard what the captain said.
He stood up and looked at the captain's back.
He stood up straight and saluted the captain.
Later, this young Yang became an elite starfighter pilot for the Star Alliance.
Every time he led his squad, he would mention his captain.
That was his idol.
The idol who saved his life!
