From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 89

"'Saber', I have roughly located the location of the interference source, but it cannot be used to attack yet. The relevant data has been synchronized to you through the data link. The next step is up to you."

"No problem, leave it to me, 'Brimstone', you are always ready to fight back."

The HCP, who was carrying a quadruple anti-radiation bomb, zoomed in on the main monitor on his head toward his teammate, and then saw the latter's mechanical foot kick hard, and at the same time, the propulsion array on his back suddenly lit up.

Immediately afterwards, the nearly 100-ton Zealot rushed to a height of about sixty meters, and with the help of the downward-angled main propulsion array and other vector nozzles, it hovered in mid-air.

The pilot with the call sign 'Brimstone' looked at his teammates in the air and immediately unfolded the missile bay cover diagonally above the back propulsion array.

He knew that the 'Saber' had turned on the active detection mode of the HCP electronic countermeasures module at this time.

In this mode, the airborne electronic countermeasures module can analyze the mediation style and encoding method of the interference source based on the data it has just passed, and further locate the coordinates of the interference source.

At least to the level of accuracy that allows anti-radiation missiles to launch attacks.

But this process is full of dangers, especially when the HCP hovers in mid-air in order to expand the scope of investigation, basically becoming a target.

This is why this dangerous job is left to the ‘Saber’.

Because the anti-radiation bomb is on the body of the "Brimstone", if he goes to perform hover detection and is shot down by the electromagnetic reconnection cannon of the enemy's heavy unit, then the possibility of countermeasures will be lost.

"Location is located! Prepare to attack! The data has been sent back. Damn it, I'm locked!"

The 'saber' in mid-air controlled the fanatic to plummet down, but was still struck by a purple high-energy laser beam across the shoulder armor.

"'Brimstone', please note that the opponent is accompanied by an air defense unit. You'd better find a way to explore the path first!"

After landing on the back of a building, the 'Saber's' propulsion array re-lit for buffering and reverse thrust, and then fell to the ground.

At this time, the pilot with the call sign "Brimstone" had already asked the combat auxiliary AI to set the parameters for the anti-radiation bomb launch based on the information returned.

After hearing his teammates' suggestions, he thought for a moment and then launched a missile first.

The electromagnetic propulsion device of the quadruple missile cabin directly ejected the No. 1 bomb. After reaching a safe height, the missile's engine completed ignition.

Propelled by the engine, the No. 1 bomb came out of the street where the HCP was hiding with a trail, and then flew towards the location of the interference source.

When he saw that his teammate had only fired one anti-radiation bomb, the Saber, who had just landed, immediately understood what the other party meant.

The tacit understanding formed through long-term cooperation eliminates the need for communication between the two.

The fanatic immediately ran forward two steps and then jumped up again. Amidst the blue light emitting from the plasma propulsion array on his back, he was once again sent into the air.

At the same time, the 'Saber' also activated the plasma rocket launcher nests attached to its feet in the weapon control menu.

The response of the federal forces did not surprise the Saber.

Almost as soon as this lone anti-radiation bomb flew out of the sky over the town, two high-energy laser beams were swept from the ground in the distance.

Although the anti-radiation bomb takes into account the need for penetration, it uses a thin layer of laminated armor and is coated with an anti-beam coating.

And after being irradiated by the high-energy laser, it immediately changed its trajectory under the action of the gas rudder.

But it still didn't last long before it was detonated by the laser beam that continued to track and irradiate.

However, this time was enough for the Saber, and the HCP's detection unit quickly determined the approximate range of the laser anti-aircraft vehicle. This is a green park outside the city, with many trees inside for cover.

"3.5 kilometers? Are the accompanying air defense units already that close?"

However, the 'Saber' has no time to think about the battle situation now. After the anti-radiation bomb is detonated, he will soon become the next target.

"Full bomb launch mode! Area coverage shooting!"

Under his instructions, the combat auxiliary AI quickly completed the ballistic calculation.

The plasma rocket launching nests on the outside of the Zealot's feet also adjusted their elevation slightly according to the calculated trajectory.

After the virtual trajectory of the rocket nests turned green on the all-day monitor, the Saber fired two nine-unit plasma rocket launcher nests without hesitation.

While the rockets were being thrown out one after another, the steel giant hovering in mid-air was also constantly fine-tuning its posture to ensure that the rockets could land in the predetermined area.

The moment the launch nest was emptied, the Zealot began to fall. At the same time, the charged particle cannon and heavy particle cannon behind it also completed deployment, and then swept towards the location of the laser anti-aircraft vehicle.

The two beams arrived first, the charged particle beam ignited a series of trees in the attack path, and the heavy particle cannon directly plowed a black mark on the ground.

Soon, the thrown plasma rocket also landed in the predetermined area, exploding into clusters of high-temperature plasma fireballs.

Although the 'Saber' had already fallen to the ground and it was impossible to judge the killing effect of this round of strikes, he knew that the opponent's accompanying air defense units would have to evacuate urgently even if they were fine.

And this also creates a ‘window period’.

On the other side, 'Brimstone' also seized this window period and launched the remaining three missiles in the missile bay one after another.

This time, the three anti-radiation bombs were not intercepted again, and flew directly over the park that had turned into a sea of ​​​​fire, heading towards the deeper source of interference.

Whether it is Brimstone, Saber, or Phillips in the regiment headquarters, they all know that the chance of this attack directly destroying the opponent's interference vehicle is not high.

Because there must be terminal air defense units near this important technical weapon.

But Phillips and the others didn't originally expect to achieve results. This anti-radiation bomb attack was enough to make the opponent's jamming vehicle move its position.

For jamming vehicles that must stop to deploy their antennas, entering maneuvers also means that their interference intensity will be significantly reduced, and may even be interrupted.

What the imperial forces need is this window period to suspend interference.

The two HCPs that completed the attack did not stay here longer and immediately withdrew towards the interior of the city.

Their position has been exposed at this time. If the federal army is determined, it is not impossible to cover their position with firepower.

Just as they retreated near the regiment headquarters, the entire unit's communications were finally partially restored.

The voices of other teammates finally came from the HCP team's communication channel.

"Attention everyone! The Flytrap has been destroyed! Repeat. The Flytrap has been destroyed!"

"An enemy psychic unit is found in area B4, please support!"
