Chapter 101: The Final Battle! The End of the Hoopoe Fighter Squadron!
Over the Qiesha region, an F-16 roared through the gale.
Beads of sweat were already seeping from the pilot's forehead, and his hand, gripping the control stick tightly, was drenched in sweat!
Who could have imagined that this man was currently an ace pilot for the Daishin side?
In previous battles against the coalition forces, relying on his profound flying skills, he had established a glorious record of shooting down three MiG-31s and eight F-16s!
After returning to base this time, he would certainly be treated as a hero, once again writing his own legend as an ace pilot!
It was even possible he would be written into the annals of Daishin history!
However, all these beautiful fantasies seemed to be turning into bubbles with the appearance of the unidentified flying object.
Now, on the aerial battlefield, only his fighter remained, struggling to hold on!
The opponent was like the Grim Reaper, wielding a reaping scythe, easily shooting down the other fighters!
Just as they had once easily defeated the coalition fighters.
No! To be precise, the kill efficiency was several times higher than theirs had been back then!
In the blink of an eye, his comrades' fighters were shot down one by one!
Moreover, the opponent's methods were on par with theirs!
They didn't even spare the pilots who ejected; seeing them eject, they would simply kill them on the spot!
The key was that they couldn't even protest using international law, because that was exactly how they treated the coalition pilots!
The Daishin ace pilot had now pushed the speed of his F-16 to the limit.
He dared not be caught; he knew that if he were caught, his fate would definitely be the same as those other pilots!
Either being blown up along with his plane, or being killed in the air after ejecting!
It was truly death either way!
At this moment, he regretted immensely why he had been so ruthless in exterminating those ejected pilots; otherwise, he might still have had a glimmer of hope for survival!
However, it was too late to regret now!
Just at this moment, the alarm system inside the fighter suddenly sounded!
The ace pilot realized that he had been locked onto by the opponent's missile!
His heart immediately began to pound! It felt as if it were beating right next to his ears. His heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Even though his heart was filled with fear of the mysterious flying object, relying on his skilled operation, at the very moment the opponent's missile was released, he deployed a decoy flare!
The moment the opponent's missile detected the decoy, it changed direction and attacked the decoy! An explosion rang out! The decoy successfully detonated the missile! The crisis was averted!
He was certain that if he had been hit by that missile just now, he would surely have exploded along with his plane!
The power of that missile was considerable; he had witnessed many comrades being blown apart by the missiles!
Fortunately, he had used a decoy to confuse the opponent! The Daishin ace pilot breathed a sigh of relief!
But just at this moment, his peripheral vision seemed to catch a glimpse of a dark shadow appearing above his head! Accompanied by this, the fighter's fuselage jolted!
He was stunned for a moment, as a certain conjecture seemed to form in his mind. And this conjecture made his hair stand on end, his spine turn cold, and the fear in his heart reached its peak at this moment!
He slowly raised his head. He happened to lock eyes with the so-called dark shadow above the fighter!
And at this moment, this pilot finally knew who they were fighting! His pupils dilated instantly, and a buzzing sound erupted in his head. It was as if he had seen the most shocking thing of his life!
Mecha!!!!!!! A fantasy product that only appears in science fiction movies and television! It was actually appearing alive and real before him at this moment!
For an instant, he had a surreal feeling! It was as if he had entered a dream! Could it be that he was already dead? Was this a fantasy after death???
This Daishin ace pilot suddenly felt a sense of madness, unable to distinguish between reality and a dream! In other words, because of the shock, he had gone a bit numb! He had even forgotten to pilot the fighter!
Seeing that the fighter was about to lose control and plummet downwards! The Individual Combat Mecha made its move!
Of course, it wasn't to save him, but to punch through the cockpit canopy. A massive airflow poured in through the shattered canopy, and the cold wind scraped across the Daishin pilot's face like knives!
And the next second, the Individual Combat Mecha reached out again, carrying endless hatred, as if it had found an outlet to vent, and tightly gripped the opponent's neck!
Accompanied by a crisp "crack" sound! It directly crushed the opponent's neck! The Daishin ace pilot died right there in the cockpit.
This process was actually very fast! From breaking the window to crushing the pilot's neck, it took less than three seconds.
The pilotless fighter plummeted straight down until it crashed! Before this, the thrusters at the feet of the Individual Combat Mecha surged in power, moving it directly away from the fighter! Finally, it rendezvoused with other Mechas and flew off in a certain direction!
Daishin, Ground Command Center. Watching the last light spot disappear from the radar screen, General Stanford's face turned ashen!
It's over! Their fighter squadron and the coalition's fighter squadron actually suffered the same fate!
He had originally thought they would return as victors, and the celebration banquet had already been prepared for them, but he hadn't expected that a funeral would be waiting for them instead!
You have to know, these were all elite pilots tempered through many battles! They were the kind of people who, given a third-generation fighter, had the ability to engage in dogfights with the enemy's fourth-generation fighters! And now, they were all gone!
"I will go to the International Court to accuse them of not complying with international law!"
"Shooting down our fighters is one thing, but why must they exterminate our pilots?"
General Stanford was already beyond furious and wished he could send a massive army to trample the desert nations! However, his protest seemed ineffective!
A subordinate general said helplessly: "General, it's useless for you to go to the International Court to accuse them!"
"It was we who first exterminated the coalition pilots!"
"The International Court will not pay attention to our protests!"
General Stanford's face turned even darker after hearing his words! At this moment, he also felt some regret, because the person who issued the order to execute the coalition pilots was none other than himself! This was truly lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet!
At this moment, a staff member suddenly stood up. "Sir, we have received a message from Colonel Scadi!"
Colonel Scadi was the last ace pilot to be killed. Stanford was very surprised; wasn't it said that the communication equipment had failed? How was this message sent over!
He walked over to the staff member and discovered that the other party had indeed sent a message! It must have been a message sent by Scadi after escaping the opponent's interference range.
And judging from the message, when they were fighting the opponent, they had never discovered the enemy's figure! This was exactly the same as the situation where the Ground Command Center could not detect the enemy's movements on the radar!
Stanford judged based on this information: "It seems our opponent must be some kind of extremely advanced stealth fighter!"
