Chapter 1261: Interstellar Drone Meteorite Base
The few close-in weapon systems that had just appeared were immediately covered by Zhao Chen's artillery fire.
With Captain Zhao Chen's reminder, the other interstellar fighters in the squad also opened fire.
Some people didn't even see clearly what was being played.
Just fire in the direction the captain orders.
This is a habit I developed while fighting alongside the captain during this period.
They obeyed their captain's orders unconditionally and from the bottom of their hearts.
There are absolutely no problems with orders from the captain!
After a barrage of artillery fire, the enemy's defensive base was quickly destroyed.
All that remained was the ravaged defensive base on the surface of the meteorite.
It was only then that the interstellar fighters passing by discovered that a defensive base was hidden there.
I saw the foundations of those destroyed fortifications.
One of the team members swallowed hard and said into the communication channel, "That was close!"
Unexpectedly, there was another one hiding here.
If our captain hadn't discovered it...
"If we fly over from here, we'll lose at least several starfighters."
"yes.
I never expected the enemy to be so cunning.
"Everyone be careful, the enemy may have other deployments like this."
Because if the vanguard squadron flies through here, it will mislead the following squadrons into thinking that this route is safe.
When vigilance decreases, these hidden threats can take advantage of the situation.
“Look at that squad next door! It looks like they were attacked like that.”
The entire formation of thirty fighter jets was wiped out, losing half of them in an instant!
Those who noticed the battlefield next door could see that in just a few breaths, more than a dozen starfighters had turned gray.
Don't stare at other people's places.
"Watch your surroundings!" Zhao Chen's voice rang out.
Make those guys keep a close eye on what's in front of them.
"There are still about twenty minutes of flight time left." Zhao Chen glanced at the progress.
He frowned slightly.
Only ten minutes had passed, and there had already been some casualties.
The enemy probably has many other defensive measures in place.
We must not let our guard down.
Reality soon proved Zhao Chen's idea correct.
"Warning! Warning! Warning! Large swarm of enemy interstellar drones ahead!"
At that moment, the vanguard squad sent back a message.
Zhao Chen stared at the radar star map that was being synchronized with him.
As you can see above, there are many red dots appearing in front of the vanguard squad.
These are clearly enemy space drone swarms.
"Holy crap, they even have interstellar drones!"
"It is estimated that they were built inside some large meteorites, forming hangars for interstellar drones."
The enemy has a large number of interplanetary drones.
It's estimated that the vanguard squad alone will have a hard time holding out.
Zhao Chen immediately said, "Each combat formation of the 18th Squadron, increase your speed."
Follow the vanguard squad ahead.
Each formation proceeded with its daily training and combat operations!
"yes!"
The captains of each combat formation said in unison.
Zhao Chen did not intend to stand by and watch or preserve his own strength.
This shipping route is like a single-plank bridge.
If the people in front cannot pass through smoothly, it will affect Zhao Chen and the others behind.
Therefore, Zhao Chen must work together with those in front of him!
Even if those in front fall, it is still Zhao Chen and his group who face the direct threat.
Therefore, we are all in the same boat, so if we still hold onto those narrow-minded ideas at this time...
It will only increase our own casualties.
Soon, Zhao Chen saw the battlefield ahead.
The vanguard squad's advance was significantly slowed by encountering a swarm of enemy interstellar drones.
Catching up is also a very easy thing.
Without saying a word, Zhao Chen led his flight squadron to charge into battle.
Using interstellar missiles to deal with these interstellar drones would be a waste.
Therefore, machine guns were used most of the time.
Because the interstellar drones are not very defensive, as long as you can keep up with them, a barrage of machine gun fire can shoot them down one by one.
In addition, Zhao Chen's team had excellent teamwork and performed very well in combat.
"That's the 18th squad of the 3rd battalion?" The captain of the vanguard squad looked at the dragon-patterned interstellar fighter.
I recognized the team immediately.
Because of the team's outstanding performance during this period, they even climbed onto some leaderboards.
Many people now know about the existence of this 18th squad.
Zhao Chen glanced at the battlefield situation and frowned slightly.
The situation appears to be under control.
However, the enemy's swarm of interplanetary drones was simply too large.
There must be an enemy 'interstellar drone hive' around here.
"Request me a swarm of interstellar drones; I'm going to find the enemy's interstellar drone hive!"
Otherwise we'll be stuck here forever! Zhao Chen sent out a request.
Alongside the starfighters, there were also swarms of interstellar drones.
However, because of the super asteroid belt, the mothership's control over these interstellar drone swarms will be affected.
Therefore, the current combat mode is automatic attack mode.
It doesn't require anyone else to control it, but the combat effect isn't optimal.
At this point, members of each squad can often request control of these interstellar drone swarms.
But very few people would do that.
This is because it places extremely high demands on the applicant's operational capabilities.
You must operate your own starfighter and control a massive swarm of interstellar drones.
Very few people could do that.
'Application approved'
The moment Zhao Chen submitted his application, a red notification box appeared in front of him.
At the same time, one of Zhao Chen's permissions was unlocked.
A brand new holographic interface appeared beside him.
That's about interplanetary drone swarms!
Zhao Chen glanced at it.
I was somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, my superiors directly granted me control of three interstellar drone swarms, each containing three hundred interstellar drones.
In this way, Zhao Chen can control nearly a thousand interstellar drones!
"Xiao Li, you will take over my work."
"Take charge of our formation," Zhao Chen said into his command channel.
"Yes!" Xiao Li replied, still not understanding what his captain was going to do.
Zhao Chen then said, "Next, I will be playing solo."
Command authority for the 18th squad was handed over to Deputy Captain Li.
"Any questions should be raised by Deputy Captain Li."
It was only then that Deputy Captain Liu realized what was happening.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Captain... this... this won't do..."
"You can do it, believe in your abilities."
Do as I've always taught you.
This Deputy Captain Li is a veteran who has been with Zhao Chen since the establishment of the 18th Squad.
Zhao Chen also constantly gave him a lot of pointers.
Therefore, Zhao Chen was very clear about the vice-captain's abilities.
"But you're playing solo..."
"I'm your captain."
You still doubt my abilities?
"Execute the order!" Zhao Chen said with a laugh and a curse.
The captain's relaxed and humorous tone reassured the others.
But looking at the scene of the captain's dragon-patterned interstellar fighter taking the lead and charging out with a swarm of nearly a thousand interstellar drones.
Many people felt a chill run down their spines!
