The 18 fighter jets could not possibly be at a disadvantage when compared to the 4 fighter jets, but the reality was that they were not as well-trained as the Imperial Air Force.
Among the 18 fighter jets, 6 of the X-wings were responsible for covering the other 12 Y-wings. From the very beginning, they did not want to get too entangled with Wang Zhi and the others.
As a result, the Y-wings that the pirates used to bombard the base were shot down by the defensive turrets that acted as cover. The TIE team and Wang Zhi also shot down four of them.
The X-Wing members gritted their teeth as they watched their comrades being shot down by the enemy and unable to fight back. The order given by the command level was to attack the base at all costs, not to engage in aerial combat with the other side.
In the previous exchange of fire with Wang Zhi, they had lost an ace pilot and a motorcycle team.
The pirate commanders lamented this.
Therefore, they had to set their sights on the base and not sacrifice themselves for nothing.
The Zeta class cargo shuttle that Wang Zhi piloted was not for show. At least in terms of firepower, the pirates could forget about taking advantage of it.
8 rapid-fire turbolaser cannons fired continuously, driving away the enemy's X-wings.
This gave the friendly TIE fighter an opportunity to attack the Y-Wing in the cage.
After taking down two more, the Y-Wing, who had made up for their shortcomings with numbers, finally broke through the base's weak defenses.
The 6 X-wings were frantically entangling with each other, causing the attention of the TIE team to return from the Y-wing. They realized that the fighter jets on the other side were the real threat, and Wang Zhi had no time to care about them due to the huge turning radius of the shuttle.
The remaining Y-wings dropped the torpedoes one by one, exploding on the high walls and turrets of the base.
One of the turrets exploded the moment it came into contact with the torpedoes. The high temperature caused by the energy leakage quickly turned the barrel red and then melted.
"I…I can't take it anymore!" An X-Wing pilot gritted his teeth and said through the intercom," I want to avenge my brothers!" Even if he was punished! Who is willing to follow me?"
As pirates, they were loyal to each other. Their reasons for being pirates were different, but they would never betray or abandon their companions. This was their only principle.
But now? What was going on with the command level?
They seemed to have smelled the rotten ruling class of the Old Republic, which had never died…
"Huwah!"
"Huwah!"
The continuous shouts in the communication channel made this crazy companion even more confident.
After that, no one knew who took the lead, but the X-wings who had already retreated turned around and attacked.
"Damn it! These subordinates were disobedient again! Martin! What happened to your men?" A commander in an old-fashioned clone armor cursed as he looked at the moving red dots on the electronic sand table.
The six red dots on the sand table were originally signs of retreat, but for some reason, the leader suddenly turned back…
"Don't worry…With you around, we're not afraid at all…Alex! Alex! Don't be too annoyed, my commander! These people are just dirty slaves…The dynasty is weak in this star zone. We can develop after taking down this base…After that, you will have more room for development…"
A Hutt who looked like Jabba leaned against a luxurious chair and spoke to Commander Alex, who was commanding the entire situation.
Alex looked at the fat, wrinkled, and slimy snot. He really didn't know why he would serve this extravagant person.
It had been more than ten years since he had left the Old Republic. If not for the oppression of the Empire, how could a former senior executive of the Old Republic have ended up like this?
"..." Alex was observing the battle on the electronic sandbox. The advantage was not on their side at all.
The ace among them had been defeated there. How could these fledgling birds dare to fight against the elite pilots of the Empire?
"I'm being targeted!"
"I've already aimed…shoot down!”
Wang Zhi and the pilots of the Empire cooperated very smoothly.
The Zeta Shuttle was used as bait, while the TIE was used as a support to carry out mobile attacks.
The fishing tactic was quite effective. Basically, anyone who dared to set their eyes on this huge target would become fireworks of the past.
After losing 4 of them, the remaining fish became smarter and wouldn't fall for the bait easily.
However, as long as Wang Zhi piloted it for a day in Takakaba, he would not be able to carry out future bombing missions.
After sacrificing so many of their comrades, they decided that it was better to die heroically on the battlefield than to return in grievance!
The two pilots communicated in the communication channel and finally planned to work together to shoot down Wang Zhi's Hope.
Wang Zhi's Hope was already slightly damaged. All four of its wings were broken to varying degrees. Even though the damage wasn't a big deal for flight, it was much better when facing the firepower of three Star Destroyers.
He still remembered back then.
"Nosha! Hurry up and talk to them. We're from the Empire! Not some damned pirate!" Wang Zhi piloted his Hope and fought against the incoming artillery fire with great difficulty.
In order to avoid all the cannons of the three Star Destroyers, Wang Zhi rushed to the bottom of the Cecilon at full speed. The only way to survive was to hide under it.
"Admiral Piatt…the opposite ship has sent a request for a conversation!”The officer said to Piet, who was standing in front of the window of the bridge. He also realized that things didn't seem to be what they were.
"Put it through. Go directly to the bridge. I want to see what tricks there are!”General Piatt said to the officer.
The officer behind him turned around and instructed another subordinate. Then, the subordinate turned around and left to carry out the work that the general had ordered.
"It's connected…What do you want to say?”Nosha took off her headphones and said to Wang Zhi.
"Alright!" Wang Zhi freed his hands to operate the dashboard. However, this was just a small calm before the storm.
Piet would regret his decision, which was why he had been very introverted.
"Who is it? " You didn't even ask a single question. What kind of f * cking quality is that?" Wang Zhi cursed as he dodged the artillery fire from the other two ships. Therefore, most of the artillery fire was directed at his own people.
" Public death…" Piet immediately ordered a ceasefire.
After that, she got off the ship and saw the broken state of his spaceship…
At least for now…Wang Zhi's ship wasn't damaged, but it would still need to be overhauled after the battle.
"Sir, we're going back. It's my honor to fight side by side with you.”the pilot said to Wang Zhi through the communication channel.
After destroying four ships, the pilots thought that they didn't need to destroy any more. The other two ships were only pretending to retreat. Even Wang Zhi didn't expect them to turn around and attack again.
" Beep beep…" The alarm in the driver's seat sounded again.
However, it could not be shut down this time. This time, it was the sound of the shield breaking and the engine being destroyed.
" This group of people is really bold…" Wang Zhi gritted his teeth and said. However, there was nothing he could do.
It could not hold on any longer.
Wang Zhi needed to land on the ground with his broken wings, which were almost scraping the ground, and fly low over the desert.
"Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!" The two X-wings that were in hot pursuit swooped down to attack the Hope.
The intense tremors forced Wang Zhi to change his plan again and jump out!
" Ship Destroyer doesn't live up to his name…"
Wang Zhi pressed the hatch button and unbuckled his seatbelt. Before he left, he even brought along the modified blaster of the wasteland.
The Zeta cargo ship's altitude continued to drop, and finally, it crashed into the Gobi Desert, stirring up a stretch of yellow sand.
Its life had not ended yet, and it still left a long trail of metal fragments on the desert.
When the two X-wings saw that it was no longer moving, they fired four concussion missiles.
The Gobi Desert was instantly engulfed in flames. This Zeta class cargo ship that symbolized hope had fallen.
