Chapter 99

"Big Mouth" vs "Big Mouth," when neither side has a decisive advantage in performance, the initiative and discipline become particularly important.

Apart from the 215th aircraft serving as a warning aircraft, the other five "Big Mouths" of the "Truly Fragrant" combat flight squadron still primarily use formation tactics, never considering individual heroism and solo combat.

Clearly at a numerical disadvantage, yet insisting on showing off and challenging one-on-one, it's as if they don't know how to write the word "death."

Moreover, there's even a lagging member in the formation, which is truly frustrating!

"Rookie, maintain formation, don't fall behind!"

Even during the maneuvering, "Devil Pepper" Ilyana Roush kept a close eye on this true rookie.

Fortunately, this kid performed decently, not causing her too much worry.

However, it's uncertain whether bringing this young man, who has no combat experience, to the battlefield is a good thing or a bad thing.

Chen Fei's feat of killing a golden dragon was, in the eyes of the short-haired girl, just an accident, the result of the entire team's collaboration, and cannot be entirely attributed to one person's achievement.

If you let him fight alone, he wouldn't last 5 seconds in the air, and she would admit defeat.

"I'm following!"

Chen Fei could only confirm the positions of friendly and enemy aircraft through the constantly flashing beacon lights on the wingtips and the battlefield data link. Otherwise, with the limited moonlight, he would lose his allies in a blink.

Now, he had to be extremely cautious, focusing all his attention on the 212th aircraft, the lead aircraft, for fear of losing it.

If it were daytime, it would be better, but it was night, and it was midnight.

Uh, wait, let's check the skill store first.

File Management Plugin: 120 energy points

Evolution Quick Preload Slot - 5 types (upgradable): 200 energy points

Evolution Accelerator Level 0 (0-9 levels): 500 energy points

Laser Base (upgradable): 1000 energy points

Particle Beam Base (upgradable): 1000 energy points

Microwave Emitter Base (upgradable): 1000 energy points

Optical Observer Base (upgradable): 200 energy points

Energy Storage Upgrade (+5000): 5000 points

Spell Array Evolution Database: 500 energy points

Elemental Decomposition: 300 energy points

Elemental Synthesis: 300 energy points

Metal Shaping: 100 energy points

...

The list in the "Skill Store" is about a dozen pages long and is constantly updating. Because there are so many, it's usually impossible to go through them all in detail.

Among a bunch of unaffordable skills, there are a few that are not very useful. It's not that the more expensive ones are better, but the ones that are more suitable are better.

Chen Fei had barely managed to save up about 300 energy points, which couldn't be wasted.

Select "Optical Observer Base (upgradable): 200 energy points"

Purchase!

Energy points -200!

Energy points: 111/5000

My Skills:

1. Metal Devouring

2. Savage Eye (consumes 1 energy point, lasts 15 seconds, cooldown 15 seconds)

3. Base Evolution Database (2), category: none/management... (longsword, dagger)

4. Secret Art: Death Resolve

5. Optical Observer Base Level 1 (Level 2 requires 100 energy points)

It's still good that Old Master Balute was kind to him, giving him a secret art skill for free, which doesn't require energy points. The "Optical Observer Base" that cost Chen Fei 200 energy points is a bit of a letdown, starting at Level 1, and requires more energy points to upgrade.

Load "Optical Observer Base."

Just by blinking, the world in front of Chen Fei's eyes became noticeably different, with richer colors and the night sky outside the cockpit becoming much clearer, revealing many things he hadn't seen before.

"Wow!~"

Chen Fei couldn't help but exclaim, the visual effect was truly immediate.

"Devil Pepper" Ilyana Roush casually asked, "What did you see?"

Chen Fei squinted his eyes slightly and reported what he had just seen: "Two missiles, heading towards the 215th aircraft!"

He found that when he squinted, his visible distance increased significantly, and distant objects became as clear as if they were close, like using a high-powered telescope.

It seems that the "Optical Observer Base" not only makes the details he sees richer and the field of view clearer but also has some additional functions.

"Got it!"

The 215th aircraft, equipped with an electronic reconnaissance pod, serves as a temporary warning aircraft for the "Truly Fragrant" squadron. Dealing with two missiles is a piece of cake, so "Devil Pepper" Ilyana Roush wasn't worried.

"They are anti-radiation missiles, I need to shut down temporarily."

The communication channel suddenly echoed with the voice of the 215th aircraft's fire control officer, "Basil" Marcus Eman, who was controlling the electronic pod.

Anti-radiation missiles are always a threat to radars, as they can trace the direction of electromagnetic waves back to the source. The 215th aircraft, equipped with an electronic pod, is like a lighthouse in the dark, guiding the incoming anti-radiation missiles directly to it.

The best way to deal with anti-radiation missiles is to immediately shut down the electromagnetic wave source and change position, making the missile lose its target and miss.

The 215th aircraft of the "Truly Fragrant" combat flight squadron did just that, but shortly after changing course, another missile, as if with eyes, pursued it and exploded in a strange purple-blue fireball about ten meters away.

"Zzz..."

A piercing screech erupted in the communication channels of both sides.

Chen Fei frowned, what was going on?

But the communication channel remained full of static for several seconds before finally quieting down.

The battlefield data link mysteriously disconnected and could not be reconnected.

"It's an EMP! Anti-radiation missiles and EMP combined attack!"

The voice of "Devil Pepper" Ilyana Roush echoed in the communication channel, immediately guessing the cause of the sudden screech.

Due to the distance, the communication equipment of the other five "Big Mouths" survived.

Chen Fei looked in the direction of the 215th aircraft, squinted his eyes, and extended his vision, immediately seeing the "Big Mouth" with its propeller blades rotating weakly, drawing a curve as it fell to the ground.

The cockpit canopy suddenly flew off, and the two pilots ejected one after the other.

Chen Fei reported immediately, "The 215th aircraft is out of control and falling, both pilots have ejected."

"Thank goodness, huh? Rookie, you can see?"

The short-haired girl in the front seat of the 212th aircraft looked out the cockpit but couldn't see the 215th aircraft falling or the ejected pilots.

Due to the lack of sufficient light, the visible distance at night is much shorter than during the day.

In clear skies during the day, one can see over 20 kilometers, but at night, seeing targets 7-8 kilometers away is already a blessing.

Whether in night navigation or night combat, pilots trust the control panel more than their own eyes.

Eyes can sometimes deceive, but instruments do not.

Chen Fei honestly said, "I can see, quite clearly."

He could even see whether the propeller blades of the 215th aircraft were rotating and the speed, without any effort.

"Now, we can only rely on ourselves."

"Devil Pepper" Ilyana Roush sighed, the hard-earned advantage was lost with the two missiles.

"Devil Pepper, tally the kills, I've taken down three, uh, four."

"Peppermint" Chikov, who had maintained radio silence, finally spoke in the communication channel, and the sound of explosions could still be heard.

The MiG-28, capable of accelerating to 1.5 Mach, attacked the enemy "Big Mouth" formation like a tiger among sheep, leaving the enemy helpless.

As a turboprop, the "Big Mouth" has a maximum speed of only 0.4 Mach, giving the MiG-28 at least a threefold speed advantage.

"We've taken down six, but we lost the 215th aircraft!"

"Devil Pepper" Ilyana Roush estimated that so far, the "Truly Fragrant" combat flight squadron had taken down more than half of the enemy fighters, losing only the 215th aircraft, which served as a warning aircraft.

If they hadn't lost the 215th aircraft, it would have been a great victory.

The remaining eight enemy turboprops, if they don't run away quickly, will eventually be destroyed.

"Truly Fragrant" Squadron, heading 270, altitude 12,600 meters, speed 0.9 Mach, eight MiG-28s are rapidly approaching your airspace.

The familiar voice from the 911 Air Base control tower echoed in the ears of all the pilots of the "Truly Fragrant" combat flight squadron.
