Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 512: Section 508 - Crystal Energy Turboprop Aircraft

"Die with a useless leader, and it’s goodbye to the whole family," everyone understands that principle.

The guy who can beat them all up the moment he meets them is definitely a ruthless one.

The pilots at Aircrew Base made their choice with their own feet.

"Okay, one, two, three, four! Follow me! One fighter jet per person, no need for a co-pilot."

Chen Fei didn’t care about the combat effectiveness of these pilots nor did he want to understand it; as long as they didn’t lag behind, that was enough. He simply counted four from left to right and then turned to walk away.

Just like those young masters from Gaul he had seen before, once they had seen blood, whether it was from their own people or enemies, their psychological quality would transform.

These pilots shouldn’t be as clueless as they were at the start.

The four chosen pilots exchanged glances, among them was a girl whose cheek bore a faint red mark, formerly a slap print, which had lightened under Xiao Jiu’s "Light Healing Technique."

Eventually, the four of them caught up with Chen Fei’s pace.

"Report, this is the ammunition list."

The ammunition team handed Chen Fei a list.

"All combat missiles, check the machine gun ammunition again, not a single round missing."

Chen Fei glanced at the list and then tossed it back.

Sign whatever, he wasn’t from Aircrew Base; he would leave after the fight. Concerns like costs were things for the capitalists locked in the confinement rooms to consider, preferably bankrupting this bastard.

"Yes, yes!"

The ammunition team’s member awkwardly retreated.

All the "Big Mouth Monsters" hanging under the wings were equipped with combat missiles. At this crucial juncture, there was no longer any consideration of whether it was a mutant or not; the priority was to defend Aircrew Base, making the combat missiles almost the only choice.

As the other four pilots climbed into the cockpit and connected to the battlefield data link,

Chen Fei pressed his headset and said, "You four, form two pairs for cover, I fly solo."

Xiao Jiu snuck into his collar, a master at finding good spots, and Chen Fei, unable to shoo it away, let it be.

There was no need to discuss tactics.

He had just arrived, and neither side was familiar with each other; without any tacit understanding, discussing tactics would be pointless. They didn’t have time to practice and couldn’t effectively use them anyway.

"’Florida’ received!"

"’Red Narcissus’ received!"

"’Kenny Kid’ received!"

"’Dinosaur’ received!"

The four pilots responded immediately.

"’Rookie,’ enemy aircraft will reach Aircrew Base in half an hour, you’d better take off quickly."

Even Miyoshi Xuesen, sitting in the control tower and inexperienced as he was, knew better than to allow combat near the base and wanted to push the battlefield as far away as possible.

The ground-based radar at Aircrew Base, having been hit by a missile, was barely repaired to restore some reconnaissance capability, but the detection range could only roughly cover half the business perimeter.

"’Rookie’ received, taking off!"

Chen Fei fired up the engines, and the propeller blades immediately began to spin.

The "Big Mouth Monster" began to slide towards the fully repaired main runway, speeding up and soon reaching takeoff speed.

Pulling back on the control stick, the airframe effortlessly took off.

The A-39C "Big Mouth Monster" light turboprop attack aircraft has 54 engraving units. Since the "Magical Array Evolution Database" skill obtained a sample, the evolution samples in the "Physical Evolution Database" included corresponding values for the magic array engraving units.

Next was simply elementary level arithmetic.

Repulsion Shield (45) + Gravity (1) + Fluid Vortex (2)×2 + Blazing Flame Bullet (1)×2 = 52 engraving units, with two to spare.

He then evolved the Crystal Energy Conversion module, took out the Crystalline Block, slammed it on, and the magic array immediately activated, job done.

Is this thing still a "Big Mouth Monster"?

The hell knows!

A blue light flashed over the surface of the A-39C "Big Mouth Monster" light turboprop attack aircraft, and then disappeared beneath the aluminum alloy skin.

"Contact in 5 minutes, don’t let your guard down!"

Chen Fei, the only pilot in the Huntsman Squad, also had considerable ground attack capability. Miyoshi Xuesen personally coordinated with him, communicating in a manner that was not strictly professional but rather casual.

"Received, I see them now!"

Chen Fei’s visual interface fully activated several modules of the "Basic Optical Observer (Level 8)" — "Low-light Enhancement," "Ultra-long Vision," and "Visual Assistance" were combined, and the four "Big Mouth Monsters" from Aircrew Base stood out like lumps of coal in snow, even the seldom-used "Macroscopic Perspective" loaded smoothly.

The overhead perspective from the high altitude enveloped both friend and foe, as if Chen Fei had an extra pair of eyes in the sky, and they were remarkably clear.

This god-like perspective is utterly unscientific, but if pressed for a more scientific explanation, the only thing that comes to mind is... satellites?

But whose special ability can connect directly to satellites?

Chen Fei was growing more perplexed about what exactly this "Dog System" was all about.

Anyway, he thought he might as well use it and not delve further since he was just a poor nobody without the capability to investigate deeply.

"Jiu?"

Hiding in Chen Fei’s father’s collar, Little Bird tilted its head and began its routine training.

A light screen appeared inside the cockpit, and the next second, it captured the image of four "Big Mouth Monsters."

In terms of having a god’s-eye view, Chen Fei’s "Macroscopic Perspective" indeed wasn’t quite a match for Xiao Jiu’s "Light Mirror Spell" within a certain distance.

A thin blue line shot from the front and landed on the aircraft Chen Fei was in.

It was the long-missed predictive trajectory, symbolizing death, and perhaps because it had not been seen for a while, there was a strangely familiar feeling to it.

Looking back, the four "Big Mouth Monsters" following him were also lined up by the predictive trajectory, flying at nearly the same altitude, no more than two to three hundred meters apart from each other.

The enemies were veterans, going for ultra-long-range tactics straight from the first wave.

"All units roll left seven and a half turns, execute immediately."

With composure, Chen Fei issued the command. In his vision, missiles had appeared on the predictive trajectory and were rapidly approaching along the continuously corrected track.

The scenery outside the cockpit started spinning rapidly.

His "Big Mouth Monster" took the lead, and although the other four pilots from Aircrew Base 633 were puzzled, they performed the same maneuver.

Just as the five "Big Mouth Monsters" had deviated from their original flight path, it took only two seconds before eight missiles roared past their previous position and then turned in a large arc to pursue them.

The enemy’s tactics were simple, taking advantage of the naive kids from Aircrew Base 633!

But now, the combat flyer squadron personally led by Chen Fei was no longer the weak team it had been before.

"Jamming bullets, release three times, five-second intervals each."

Chen Fei’s voice remained calm as usual, and he wasn’t yet pushed to desperation, handling the situation with ease.

No further words were needed; right at the first roll, all the "Big Mouth Monsters" blared with alert sounds from being locked by the fire-control radar, knowing that the enemy had struck first.

The ground-based radar from Aircrew Base 633 helped lock onto the fast-approaching missiles and transmitted the battle data to every "Big Mouth Monster."

A cluster of bright sparks scattered across the sky at an altitude of 6000 meters, like glorious fireworks; the numerous sparks slowly descended and persisted for a long time.

The seven-and-a-half roll maneuver was quickly completed.

"Dive to 2,000 meters altitude!"

After leveling out, Chen Fei pushed the control stick forward, releasing full engine power.

Below 3,000 meters was the altitude range where turboprop aircraft had an advantage. Since the enemy was not jet-powered but also used similar turboprop aircraft, the most appropriate tactic was close quarters combat within a 10-kilometer visual range, clashing with cannons and combat missiles.

The missiles from beyond visual range, after making a wide turn, had almost run out of propellant. Most of them lost their targets after hitting bright infrared flare bullets and exploded into fireballs in mid-air.

When experts crossed paths, a tiny margin could mean the difference between life and death.

With a clear predictive trajectory visible, the five "Big Mouth Monsters" smoothly avoided a direct hit in the first round, then dived again collectively, easily shaking off the other following missiles, and even had energy to spare.

Although the missiles were not shaken off, they were already running out of steam.

"Pull up! Climb at 30 degrees, prepare two close combat missiles, wait for my command."

The "Big Mouth Monster" soon dove to an altitude of 2,000 meters, and Chen Fei pulled back on the control stick.

Through Xiao Jiu’s "Light Mirror Spell" and "Macroscopic Perspective," he determined that those missiles were nearly out of fuel. Every change of direction consumed a substantial amount of propellant, and after following the dive, it was unlikely they could climb and pursue effectively.

The first wave the enemy launched were close combat missiles. If they had been medium-range missiles, it wouldn’t have been so easy. From their launch distance, it was easy to distinguish between medium and close range; it’s uncommon to use medium-range missiles as if they were close-range missiles.

As the "Big Mouth Monster" squadron climbed, four enemy planes from Aircrew Base 633 coincidentally appeared in their visual range.

HUD visually locked on, missiles away!

Ten homogeneous combat missiles roared out, and the rest was left to the missile guidance module.

The ground-based radar from Aircrew Base 633 could have assisted in guiding and improving the hit rate, but the relevant functions had been damaged in a previous air raid, so now they could only watch helplessly, unable to assist.

The four "Big Mouth Monsters" from Aircrew Base 631 were momentarily stunned. After the opponents easily dodged the missiles, they immediately switched to the offensive, splitting into two pairs to dodge the incoming missile barrage.

"You chase the right, I’ll take the left!"

Only then did Chen Fei truly become a free agent on the battlefield, piloting his aircraft to chase the two enemy "Big Mouth Monsters" escaping towards the left. The others, four against two, also had a local advantage and probably wouldn’t have too much trouble.

Gravity Adjustment Module (10%).

As the weight of the "Big Mouth Monster" lightened, the thrust generated by the engines suddenly experienced a qualitative leap, and the turboprop aircraft pounced towards the two "Big Mouth Monsters" at an unbelievable speed.

"Rookie’s speed is off? Is the radar broken again?"

Suddenly someone in the tower yelled out.

The speed that Chen Fei’s "Big Mouth Monster" burst out at far exceeded the design values, and everyone’s first thought was of the ground-based radar that had been damaged before.

(Ground-based radar: Again? Take your filthy hands off, don’t, don’t do it...)
