Huang Ke emphasized in the command room: "The primary objective of this operation is to kill the Taotie warriors."
"Destroying equipment is not the primary objective of combat. After engagements occur, you need to utilize the maneuverability of the Xuan Nu fighter jet to engage in skirmishes and dogfights."
"Suicide attacks may be used when necessary to kill individuals of the Taotie civilization."
Huang Ke emphasized the operational objectives.
There is only one chance. After this operation, it will take at least half a month for the size of the Xuan Nu unmanned combat aircraft group to return to its current number.
Whether we can gain enough experience points to accelerate the new research project depends on today's battle.
"understand!"
"Mystic Maiden Combat Formation, take off!"
……
As the operation began, a formation of fifty Xuan Nu unmanned combat aircraft took off from multiple airports within China.
It broke through the atmospheric barrier at an extremely high speed and headed towards the moon.
The Xuan Nu unmanned combat aircraft is not considered a heavy aerospace fighter. Despite its relatively light weight, it possesses extremely high-speed exoatmospheric cruising capabilities.
Within the atmosphere, the Xuan Nu fighter jet cruises at around Mach 5.
Outside the atmosphere, the speed climbs to a full Mach 28.
The distance of 400,000 kilometers between the Earth and the Moon can be reached in just over ten hours.
This is an extremely high speed for a non-star-rated warship.
In contrast, even the lightest of Taotie's warships cannot achieve such maneuverability when not on long voyages.
Based on Huang Ke's technical speculation and numerical estimation, the normal speed of the Taotie small warship is between Mach 15 and Mach 20.
This calculation was made by Huang Ke using data from the Deno III mission, which recorded the Taotie fleet's journey from Pluto to the Moon.
Relatively accurate.
This led to Huang Ke's blitzkrieg operation plan.
Furthermore, the most important part of the Blitzkrieg plan lies in the dark alloy coating of the Xuan Nu fighter jet.
Taotie was completely unable to locate Xuan Nu using any method other than visual observation.
For example, right now, during the ten-hour journey, Taotie was completely unaware.
The Xuan Nu formation, like ghosts, arrived at the flank of the Taotie formation stationed near the moon.
Many Taotie warriors are making preparations, carrying out repairs on the hull of the warship from the outside.
"Do we really need to be this cautious when dealing with a pre-nuclear civilization? The first probe was one thing, but they actually sent an entire vanguard fleet for a second probe."
"It's hard to say. I heard that the warmonger from Denuo back then is on Earth. This pre-nuclear civilization is not as simple as we imagine."
"Dukao? He's nothing but a stray dog. He's only fit to smell my God Karl's...wait, what's that?"
Suddenly, a Taotie warrior spotted the Xuan Nu fighter jet with its deep black coating through visual observation.
He was stunned for a moment, then recalled the data sent back by the first vanguard team.
Earth is suspected of being equipped with spaceplanes of space-age capability.
"No, enemy attack!"
The words had barely left his mouth when high-energy particle technology was already gathering in the chest of the Taotie warrior.
Most Taotie warriors are not beast-body modified warriors, but have only undergone simple mechanical modifications.
Their individual defensive capabilities are roughly equivalent to those of tanks on Earth.
Xuan Nu's high-energy particle cluster cannon is capable of instantly destroying any heavily armored tank.
One shot and you're done for an ordinary Taotie, it's that simple.
Chaos began to emerge within the Taotie fleet.
The pilot controlling Xuan Nu followed Huang Ke's instructions: fire one shot and leave!
Expand the field of vision for observation.
With the Taotie warship's reconnaissance capabilities, they couldn't find any trace of Xuan Nu at all.
The Taotie continued to suffer casualties in battle.
The ordinary Taotie warriors immediately retreated back into their warships.
Even with the protection of the warship, it would be difficult for Xuan Nu to carry out a precise sniping attack.
Next up was the debut of a generation of beast-body modified warriors.
Their beast-like bodies, combined with mechanical modifications, have given them extremely strong combat capabilities in outer space.
The individual's flight speed in a vacuum environment was not much slower than that of the Mysterious Woman.
Xuan Nu's battle damage also began to appear.
……
Inside the remote control room of the Xuan Nu formation on the North Star.
"Number 21 has lost its combat capability and was carrying out its final attack. The impact has been successfully completed. Number 21 has been taken offline."
"Number 33, entangled with alien mecha monsters, is unleashing full firepower, has locked onto the Taotie warship, and is conducting a final kinetic energy impact."
The voyage lasted more than ten hours, but the actual combat lasted only a little over an hour.
One after another, the Xuan Nu unmanned combat aircraft rolled off the production line.
But at the last moment before going offline, all the drivers performed their final actions.
A direct collision!
Because of her pursuit of flexibility, Xuan Nu's firepower was insufficient to break through the defenses of the Taotie warship.
But with a top speed approaching Mach 30, the fuselage carries a sufficiently powerful kinetic energy.
Crashing the plane became the last resort of attack.
Such a ruthless and decisive collision immediately cast a psychological shadow over the members of the Taotie Vanguard Fleet.
A large number of Taotie warrior corpses appeared around the lunar orbit, becoming satellites orbiting the moon.
"Old Liu, did you crash into it? I hit it perfectly, I crashed right into the door of the alien warship and killed several alien bastards."
"Don't even mention it. I got entangled with a super fast mecha monster. I missed and only managed to kill an alien bastard who was trying to return to the warship."
"I rammed into the monster that was chasing you, I don't know if it killed it or not."
The pilots' conversation was relatively lighthearted.
Since the Xuan Nu fighter jet is an unmanned aircraft and can be remotely controlled, the impact method did not appear to be too devastating.
But as the pilots watched one Xuan Nu fighter jet after another roll off the production line, they were also thinking as they achieved their victories.
What if all of the Xuan Nu fighter jets were taken offline?
What if the Taotie were to invade Earth tomorrow?
If they were to fly ordinary fighter jets instead of Xuan Nu's aircraft, would they still have the courage to crash into them?
"Screw them! Even if I were actually sitting inside a drone, I'd smash them to pieces!"
"Invade Earth? Invade China? Don't you know that we Chinese hate the word 'invasion' the most? Run those sons of bitches over here!"
"You son of a bitch? You're not wrong. I was following behind you just now and saw that alien scum you smashed into pieces. It really does look like a dog. Maybe it really is an evolved dog."
Chapter 57 Second Generation Super Gene
The Xuan Nu fighter jet's combat performance provided pilots with a completely different experience.
Even if all means are exhausted, they can still use their last move without hesitation, forcefully crashing into the enemy and launching a suicidal final attack.
This was something I wouldn't have dared to imagine in my previous flying experience.
But this experience also raised a question in their minds.
What if Xuan Nu wasn't an unmanned combat aircraft?
What if aliens acquire more powerful information attack and defense methods, making it impossible for Xuan Nu to remotely control them anymore?
What if they themselves are forced to personally board a fighter jet and embark on this long journey of 400,000 kilometers?
Would they still have the courage to board a fighter jet, or even the courage to crash into it?
The soldiers chatted in a seemingly joking tone, yet they also provided answers.
They are fearless!
Just like the warship named Zhiyuan in the waters off Weihaiwei more than a hundred years ago, the Chinese people declared to the world with their courage and backbone that they were willing to risk their lives to protect this country and this nation.
Today, this group of pilots flying the Xuan Nu unmanned combat aircraft have inherited the same spirit: if the civilized nation is in trouble, what is death to them?
It is not a loss to sacrifice the individual for the eternal continuation of the greater good!
Such enthusiasm was hidden in a joking tone.
Having witnessed everything, Huang Ke slowly turned around and left the control room of the Xuan Nu unmanned combat aircraft.
"Continue to monitor the data near the moon reported by Dukao. If the Taotie shows any unusual activity, report it to me immediately."
"Strengthen local defenses to prevent retaliatory attacks from the Taotie."
"This blitzkrieg operation has been successfully completed. Compile the post-battle report and submit it to me."
After giving instructions in the command center, Huang Ke walked out of the building and returned to the North Star Aerospace Industry Group, which was only separated by a street.
