Release that Witch Chapter 1407: Departure
In the early morning, a bright light just appeared in the sky. Novel.
Most people are still sleeping at this moment, but the guards and ground crew have been busy for a long time in the newly opened landing field outside Shining Light City. They rushed towards the cold spring breeze at both ends of the runway, and the lining was wet with the fine sweat that had soaked.
A plane was towed out of the warehouse and towed to the end of the runway. The final filling, filling and inspection work has also come to an end.
In the barracks next to the take-off and landing field, Tilly gathered all Aerial Knights with actual combat experience.
After several rounds of enrollment expansion and new teaching methods with old and new methods, the number of people who can enter the battlefield has now exceeded one hundred, and more than twice as many trainees are undergoing close training. So far, they are independent of the ground forces' " The "new army" has loomed to take shape.
In the previous Impassable Mountain Range blocking battle, although the aircraft lost a lot, the chances of the pilot's survival were not low. Compared to the infantry, it was difficult to get rid of the Devil pursuit. Once the encounter was a **** battle, even if the The Skyfire lost its combat capability, it depended on gliding Can quickly leave the battlefield.
So whether it ’s being shot down by an enemy or falling down due to a mechanical failure, as long as it ’s not bad luck, experienced pilots can basically stick to a suitable forced landing area.
Of course, this is also related to the low speed of the biplane, the natural lift, and the lack of lethal ability of Devil's spear.
These factors have allowed the entire team to mature at a rapid rate.
"You should know the details of this mission." Tilly both hands embraced and slowly walked through the front row of the team. Like the soldiers about to leave, she also wore a thick windproof combat suit and a gray long hair plate. Behind my head, with a blue strap, looks sharp and energetic. "Break through the enemy's defense line and throw the bomb into the hinterland of the floating stronghold, as it was during the previous few days of training."
"But this time the airspace you are flying is no longer the Shining Light City outskirts, but the top of the enemy stronghold. It will not be school students who intercept you, but Dread Beast and high rank Devil."
"His Royal Highness!" Suddenly someone in the team raised their hands.
"Say."
"Isn't it easier?"
The speaker is Gourd, which caused a low laugh.
Tilly also raised her mouth, she was not opposed to this "arrogant" dialogue, but on the eve of the expedition, the high-spirited warfare helped everyone alleviate tension.
Moreover, Gourd has achieved a record of killing twelve Dread Beasts, which he said is not too conceited.
"At first glance, this looks like, but the high rank Devil behind Dread Beast is still a despise opponent, I hope you can come back to prove it alive." Tilly said here a sharp turn, "In addition, I must emphasize that the size of floating landmass is huge The sudden entry into the central area means that the surroundings are all Devil territories, and the end of the forced landing there can be imagined. Therefore, this operation should try to avoid accidents, betting on the opportunity of being speared by Devil in exchange for the killing result , I ask you to leave it behind for a while, understand? "
"As you bid, Your Highness!"
"Very good, then the people who will be assigned to Skyfury by the team will be responsible for bombing this task."
As soon as this comes out, all Aerial Knight have their ears raised.
Skyfury is the first improved version of The Skyfire. The fuselage is more compact, and the cockpit has a glass top cover. It is not only more beautiful than The Skyfire, but also has improved performance. The most critical changes come from the new radial engine and the external weapon system. The former is a degraded version of the The Phoenix engine. The power is limited to a lower level and it is not equipped with a booster device to meet the production level of the assembly line. The latter can be mission-dependent, including machine guns and missiles.
The first batch of ten Skyfurys that have left the factory have been delivered here by ships. They are the core of the air strike rehearsal. Who can fly the new aircraft is undoubtedly the leader recognized by Princess Commander.
Tilly deliberately paused for a while before taking out the list, "According to the plan, these ten aircraft will be divided into two formations and protected by the corresponding **** crew. The first team Captain is Gourd."
"Gourd leads!"
The crowd cast their envious eyes. As the best Aerial Knight member, his selection was undisputed.
"The second team Captain is Manfred."
The latter hesitated for a moment, and then reacted after a while, "Your Highness, did you choose me?"
"Is there a second Manfred here?" Tilly raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, yes! Your subordinates take orders!"
Manfred is overjoyed.
This also caused the team to have a low whisper. Compared with most experienced Aerial Knight, his record of participation in the battle is very few, just a newcomer. In the previous Impassable Mountains blocking battle, his record was not outstanding, just for a shot down. Although he performed well in normal training, as a team leader, it was unexpected.
Tilly knows that this newcomer has a strong talent, which is not only reflected in flying machine, but also in fierce battles. In terms of flying skills, Manfred Carstein can be ranked in the top ten of the team, but in terms of combat smell, he is far more than others.
In the air battles in the mountains, only she noticed that the Manfred's landline had been wandering in the weakest position of the team, several times to drive away the enemy forces trying to insert from it, and completely liberated her The Phoenix. Whether it is to cover teammates' offense or to relieve danger for teammates, the opponent will always appear in the most needed position.
This is by no means an easy task. The situation in the air is changing rapidly. Most people can only pay attention to themselves and their wingman's situation. This is why the flight formation needs to be subdivided as much as possible. In the fierce battle, I still have the power to look at the overall situation and capture the efficient entry point. This keenness and vision have exceeded the flight itself.
Compared to Gourd, which has outstanding personal skills, the advantage of Manfred lies in the team, so maybe he hasn't found out that his true talent lies.
In fact, Tilly consulted this person's detailed file immediately after the end of the blockade. The origin of the Knight family can explain his accomplishment, but it is interesting to note that the body and strength of such a Knight who failed to restore the declining family Manfred have limited his use in close combat. If it is a one-on-one contest, she suspects that Carter can bring down the other hand.
Now the roaring engines and guns don't care about the strength of the individual driver. With the power of biplanes, the vast sky is obviously a more suitable field for him to play.
Tilly did not say the reason for her choice. She believes that as long as there are more battles, Manfred and others will naturally perceive this.
After explaining the names of the two crew members, she looked up at the position of the sun, and then issued an action order.
Under the command of Semaphore, The Phoenix was the first to slide across the runway and rise to the sky. The golden light reflected a dazzling halo on its iron wings.
Followed by The Seagull after the first crash, Anna quickly rushed out the second as it is. For her, this kind of practice can make a lot of effort.
Finally, there are forty The Skyfires and ten Skyfurys with flying bombs. They form a huge fleet, and they pass Shining Light City and disappear in the clouds to the west.
