Chapter 227 Ye Qi, good luck
"Ye Qi, are you okay?"
Commander Deng's hoarse shout was heard, and Ye Qi controlled the mechanical bird to spin in the air to avoid the attack of the enemy's big bird.
Replied: "No problem!"
"Okay! You better hold on, kid! Hold on!"
"yes!"
Ye Qi stared at the enemy in front of him, and with a few slight movements of the joystick, the mechanical bird fighter under him completed a beautiful "Z"-shaped shake in the air.
The whistling shells formed a large net, but they all flew past the fighter planes and none of them hit them.
Ye Qi's superb flying skills allowed the fighter plane to remain unscathed in the enemy's artillery network. The shells missed the target and were fired into the air, but instead hit several large temple birds that had no time to dodge.
As a result, there was a brief gap in the encirclement formed by dozens of temple birds.
Ye Qi would not let this opportunity go. He maneuvered his bird-shaped fighter plane towards the nearest Temple Bird, firing his onboard shells. At the same time, a purple electric light flashed in his eyes, and the huge purple electric light column and the shells simultaneously hit the Temple Bird's body.
With a burst of violent sparks, the temple bird died.
Ye Qiji followed the man, turned around in an instant, and pounced on another temple bird.
"Good boy!"
At the ground command post, Commander Deng, who had lost an arm and a leg, was lying on a stretcher, looking at the sparks exploding in the air and praising excitedly.
Not long ago, five new large-bird fighter planes assigned by the higher-ups arrived at the battlefield, bringing a glimmer of hope to our soldiers who were fighting desperately.
At the time, the few thousand remaining soldiers were being rapidly decimated by the enemy's frenzied counterattack. The brief victory brought about by Yin Wanying's singing recording did not last long. The enemy, relying on their superior numbers and reinforcements, quickly launched round after round of counterattacks.
Yin Wanying had only a few recording speakers left, with a limited range. The enemy used human wave tactics, piling up the lives of their followers, only to have the speakers destroyed one by one. With the last speaker failing, the battle once again tilted in the enemy's favor. Even Commander Deng, heavily protected in his command post, lost half an arm and a leg in the devastating carpet bombing.
Thankfully, the Big Bird fighter planes have arrived! Finally, all is not lost!
Five fighter planes held back a wave of enemy counterattacks. At the critical moment, Ye Qi signed a military order with his life as a guarantee, requesting that a fighter plane be sent to City C.
At that time, Commander Deng was being held on a stretcher by a field doctor to be bandaged to stop the bleeding. Half of his body was almost blown apart and he was half dead.
"Okay, I'll believe you again!" His face was covered in blood and mud, a mess, but his tiger eyes were gleaming brightly, burning with the flames of a desperate struggle.
"Ye Qi, your accurate judgment and recording contribution last time helped us win a small victory. This time, I'll give you another chance. If you want a fighting opportunity, I'll give it to you! But you have to make sure that by doing so, you can win the battle!" he said.
Ye Qi stood at attention and said, "Doing this may not guarantee victory, but not doing this will definitely lead to failure. I can't guarantee success or failure, but I can guarantee that I and the soldiers in City C will fight to the last moment and never retreat. Commander, in addition to the one we sent away, I would like to apply to fly a fighter plane myself to control the air situation. Please approve it!"
"Damn it!" Commander Deng cursed.
He pointed at Ye Qi with his only remaining hand, "I'll do whatever you say! I'll give you whatever you want, but you have to control the air above the battlefield! I'll have the ground troops fight to the death and fully cooperate with you!"
"Yes." Ye Qi turned around and ran towards the fighter plane, replacing the original pilot.
Needless to say, the ground forces had already begun storming the enemy's artillery positions in the rear, disrupting their attempts to fire shells into the air and attack our aircraft. The sacrifice had already begun, and he had only action to repay the soldiers' sacrifice.
Firmly control the air area, curb the attacks of the Temple Birds on ground forces, and kill them.
This is a difficult task.
The Temple mechanical birds we had previously captured and subjugated had mostly been destroyed in the battle, leaving us with only the four newly delivered large bird fighters. Meanwhile, the enemy had dozens of large birds arriving as reinforcements from various Temple branches.
Our other pilots didn't have Ye Qi's powerful abilities, so relying solely on the Big Bird's strength and their own flying skills, they struggled to cope. After a period of confrontation, three fighters were forced to land for rest and withdraw from the battle, leaving only Ye Qi still in the air.
He single-handedly held back dozens of enemy temple birds, preventing them from attacking the ground!
On the ground, our remaining soldiers fought hard, trying to prevent the enemy from interfering in the air battle.
They supported each other and fought desperately.
We cannot lose and we cannot retreat, otherwise the Eastern Front will be completely defeated!
"Ye Qi, hold on."
Commander Deng, who was on the stretcher, issued a series of combat orders and then looked up into the sky again.
The sparks of the explosion continued, thick smoke billowed, and fragments of the temple bird continued to fall and hit the ground like meteors.
Many people continued to die, our soldiers and the enemy's believers. There was smoke, screams and corpses everywhere.
"All formations, listen up. I, Deng Ming, the battlefield commander of the Eastern Allied Forces, will hand over full command to Ye Qi, the deputy captain of the Seventh Formation, and promote him to commander of the entire theater. If Ye Qi is unfortunately killed, command will be handed over to Deputy Commander Liu. Above."
Commander Deng suddenly issued such an order in the formation frequency band.
"First formation received."
"Second formation received!"
"The third formation..."
Responses from captains came from all over the battlefield.
In the air, Ye Qi replied briefly in the interval between fierce battles: "Ye Qi obeys the order."
He didn't understand why Commander Deng temporarily handed over the command, but the ever-changing air battle was full of dangers and he didn't have time to think too much.
The next second after taking command, he immediately issued combat orders.
"Order, the fourth formation will shrink to the southeast to block the enemy's main vanguard."
"The first, second, and third formations will fight on the spot according to Division Commander Deng's instructions and hold back the enemy's flank reinforcements."
"The fifth and sixth formations will attack the enemy artillery positions with all their might."
"seventh……"
Ye Qi, who was in the air, had a broad vision and could easily take in the overall situation on the battlefield, knowing where reinforcements were needed and where retreats were needed.
This series of instructions was a fine-tuning of Commander Deng's instructions. Not only did it not disrupt the pace of the battle, but it made the situation more favorable to our side.
Commander Deng listened to Ye Qi's instructions, smiled, and slowly closed his eyes on the stretcher.
He was only a Level 1 Awakener, and after being seriously injured, he exhausted his life. Fortunately, before he died, he made the bold but correct decision to let Ye Qi take command.
"Ye Qi, I wish you good luck."
Commander Deng’s last thought was that Ye Qi would be lucky enough to lead all the soldiers to a glimmer of hope in this huge crisis.
