Chapter 1293: Urgent Tasks
While Zhao Chen was pondering how Song Chen and his superiors should decide in the face of this situation.
An electronic window popped up in front of him.
The person on the other end was actually the senior colonel who had contacted him last time.
"Colonel Zhao Chen."
I'm about to assign you an urgent combat mission.
Our fleet has been ambushed by the enemy.
Furthermore, the enemy used long-range communication jamming equipment to prevent us from sending out information about the situation here, sending out distress signals, and providing our coordinates.
Our stealth interstellar reconnaissance ship was also attacked by the enemy and was unable to leave the combat zone.
Therefore, I need you to organize a fighter jet suicide squad.
Charge out and, in an area free from communication interference, send out the situation, the distress call, and the coordinates!
This is your task!
"Do you understand this clearly?" The colonel's expression was very serious.
It's clear how important this task is.
Who came up with this task, you bastard?
Zhao Chen cursed inwardly, but his face remained calm.
After all, he's now someone else's soldier.
You must carry out the tasks assigned to you.
"Understood," Zhao Chen said solemnly.
"Colonel Zhao Chen, I know this task is very difficult."
But this concerns the safety of the leader's fleet.
"So please!" After saying that, the senior colonel saluted Zhao Chen: "I have faith in your fighter jet skills."
I have witnessed your abilities firsthand.
"It was I and His Majesty the Leader who recommended you for this mission!"
Listen to me say thank you...
Zhao Chen really wanted to punch this guy in the nose.
At the same time, I somewhat regretted letting this guy stay and watch when I was establishing my authority.
This is like lifting a rock only to drop it on your own foot.
"I understand. I will do my best to complete this mission." After saying that, Zhao Chen ended the communication with the senior colonel.
He genuinely didn't want to see this guy's face.
It makes me angry just thinking about it.
But since the task has already been accepted, it must be carried out.
Zhao Chen looked at his ten flight squadrons.
He contacted three of the flight squadrons directly.
"First squad, third squad, sixth squad."
"Assemble immediately and prepare for an emergency mission." Zhao Chen contacted the three teams.
At the same time, he ordered the department in charge of managing interplanetary drones: "Immediately deploy 10,000 Rose Fairy-class interplanetary drones."
"yes!"
At this moment, three communication pop-ups appeared in front of Zhao Chen's eyes.
They were the captains of the three flight squadrons.
Zhao Chen got straight to the point and handed over the mission to the three squad leaders.
"What?
"Let's break out now and send out a distress signal!" The third squad leader was taken aback.
This mission is clearly more likely to end badly than successfully.
The enemy has even intercepted your stealth interstellar reconnaissance ship.
Upon seeing your starfighter attempting to break through, how could they not know what you were thinking? Naturally, they would send forces to intercept it.
Even if they eventually manage to break through and send out a distress message.
Then you'll need to return.
After all, starfighters must return to their mothership for refueling once they run out of fuel.
Otherwise it will crash.
That means these flight squadrons will have to face death twice.
And this dangerous task was assigned to him.
Naturally, some people began to have certain thoughts.
Especially Cao Bing from the first flight squadron.
He frowned slightly, inevitably wondering if Zhao Chen was settling a personal score.
Entrusting such a dangerous mission to my first squad is basically a nine-out-of-ten chance of survival!
But Zhao Chen's words quickly dispelled their concerns.
"I will accompany you on this emergency mission and will be in charge of command."
After Zhao Chen finished speaking...
He then contacted the captain of the second flight squadron.
"While I'm away, you will be in charge of command of the mothership."
Everything is proceeding according to my plan.
"Yes!" the second squad leader replied.
As a result, the three squad leaders who carried out this emergency mission had nothing to say.
The captain himself has already set off, what else can they say?
To say anything more would just be blaming oneself for being afraid of death.
Soon, a total of nearly one thousand near-T6 Rose Knight-class starfighters and ten thousand near-T6 Rose Fairy-class star drones were assembled.
They all set off fully loaded and fueled.
"Execute the C5 combat flight sequence."
Flight direction, **/**/**.
“Use 70% of the fighter jet’s speed.” Zhao Chen issued his first order.
This first command puzzled them greatly.
Putting aside the fact that you wouldn't fly at full speed for such an urgent mission.
And the direction they flew was still the same as the direction of the first thousand interstellar warships that had emerged.
I don't understand what this captain is thinking.
If you didn't know better, you'd think these interstellar fighters were going to seize interstellar air superiority from the enemy.
Um?
Captain Cao was startled. He looked incredulously at the pop-up window that had been constantly appearing on the command channel beside him.
Captain Zhao Chen remained unfazed.
As they approached the combat zone.
Zhao Chen suddenly gave an order.
"Entire fleet, change direction **/**/**, full speed ahead!"
At that moment, the entire fleet made almost a right-angle turn.
At that moment, everyone knew what the captain was thinking.
This is a clear case of feinting to the east while attacking in the west.
First, they want the enemy to mistakenly believe that this squadron of aircraft is heading for interstellar air superiority.
In reality, they had other motives.
Meanwhile, the enemy fleet also discovered the true purpose of this air squadron.
We must find a way to intercept them immediately.
However, apart from a very few starfighters that are close enough to provide fire support, speed alone is simply not enough to catch up with these T6-level starfighters and interplanetary drones.
The only way to intercept them is with the same interstellar fighters and interstellar drones.
As a result, a large number of interstellar fighters and interstellar drones swarmed out.
They were heading towards Zhao Chen's flight group.
The quantity was several times that of them!
"Fly at full speed."
Don't panic.
"Follow my orders!" Zhao Chen's voice rang out in the command channel.
"Yes," the three squad leaders replied.
Soon, a flight squadron caught up with them.
At this moment, Zhao Chen commanded a squadron of interstellar drones to turn around and rush towards the enemy's flight squadron.
This is a very simple interception and attrition tactic.
But Captain Cao was quickly stunned.
Because these interplanetary drones actually have tactics!
Moreover, they were all under the command of Captain Zhao Chen.
This captain is quite capable; not only does he pilot the interstellar fighter himself, but he also has the ability to command these interstellar drones.
Commanding a thousand interstellar drones requires considerable skill.
But what happened next made Captain Cao's mouth involuntarily open.
As the number of enemy flight squadrons increased, the number of interstellar drones that Zhao Chen had deployed had increased to three thousand.
There are three local battlefields!
Despite this, Colonel Zhao Chen remained calm and composed on the command channel.
Like an elegant pianist.
