Xia Chujian didn't know about the instructors' disputes in the command room. She only stared at her warplane's speed, which had reached forty-nine kilometers per minute.
Almost at the limit! Xia Chujian then accelerated again, pushing the speed of her Eagle-type Fighter to fifty-two kilometers per minute. The three Harrier-type Fighters chasing closely behind her also subconsciously followed suit and accelerated.
This follow-up had dire consequences.
Suddenly, several loud explosions echoed through the night sky! Then, the rebel army's three Harrier-type Fighters burst into flames, disintegrating directly in the air and exploding into fragments!
Xia Chujian slightly curved her lips.
That's right. According to her previous experience, the Harrier-type Fighter's engine would malfunction when the speed reached forty kilometers per minute.
Then, it would reach its actual maximum speed at forty-nine point five kilometers per minute, which was also the speed Xia Chujian had once reached.
But as long as this speed was exceeded by a little bit, the Harrier-type Fighter's engine would not be able to withstand it, and it would definitely explode and disintegrate.
This was a design flaw, the kind that was beyond remedy.
And Xia Chujian didn't even see the pilots in the cockpits ejecting...
At this time, on the scoreboard, three thousand points were added to Xia Chujian's name.
However, the system explained that these three thousand points were bonus points and were not counted within the one hundred thousand points, because the command headquarters had not anticipated that the rebel army would have warplanes participating in the battle.
The previous expectation was that the rebel army had a few warplanes, but they would not participate in the battle, because they were too precious to the rebel army, and they could not afford to lose them.
But what about now?
It was really ghostly!
Xia Chujian couldn't help but complain, Is this really a real battle, or is it child's play?! She was really angry.
If it was really an actual battle, then everything should be done according to the standards of an actual battle.
But looking at the information released by the command headquarters this time, it was like making them fight a blind battle! No wonder they estimated a combat attrition rate of thirty percent...
If this continued, the combat attrition rate might reach fifty percent! Xia Chujian grumbled inwardly, deciding to ignore what the instructors said and fight this battle at her own pace.
On the rebel army's command headquarters side, seeing the D10's monstrous-like flight mode, they immediately and wisely abandoned the Shoot the Eagle Plan...
Of course, Xia Chujian knew nothing about this.
If she knew, she might be even more excited.
But now, she only felt that she was stable.
Even if she couldn't maintain the first place until the end of the battle, she would definitely be able to enter the top ten.
Her goal was to get into the top twenty in all the assessments, so as to participate in the final Special Military Operation and achieve the goal of successfully being promoted to a Colonel-Ranked Officer.
Now that her ranking was secure, she wanted to gather some helpers for herself.
Xia Chujian made up her mind and immediately opened the warplane's communication channel, contacting her three roommates.
She saw that they were not yet on the top twenty ranking list.
"Sister Mao, Sister Chu, Sister Sang, how are you doing?"
Mao Yonggui said, "Congratulations, Chujian! You will definitely get first place! Qingjuan, Yadi, and I are probably not going to make it. I don't know if we can get into the top twenty this time."
"Have you not killed any rebels?" Xia Chujian wanted to confirm the situation.
Chu Qingjuan also said, "I can't bring myself to do it..."
At this time, the student named Lü Luyu on the scoreboard already had four thousand points!
She had completely obtained them by killing rebel infantry.
Sang Yadi remained silent, but typed out a sentence, which was displayed on the communication channel in front of Xia Chujian.
[D08]: Didn't kill...
Xia Chujian was a little excited in her heart. She didn't expect that these three female soldiers from the front-line troops of the Interstellar Fleet had the same thoughts as her.
Xia Chujian hurriedly said, "Me too! So I'm attacking the anti-aircraft strongpoints on the ridges."
Mao Yonggui said, "We are also looking for anti-aircraft strongpoints on the ridges, but there are too many fake anti-aircraft points. We only have ten Missiles in total, and I have already used five of them, but I only hit two anti-aircraft strongpoints and only got one hundred and sixty points."
Chu Qingjuan said, "I only got eighty points and have seven Missiles left."
That meant only one real anti-air defense point was hit.
Sang Yadi sent another message.
[D08]: Two hundred and forty points, four missiles left.
Comparing notes, Sang Yadi had destroyed one more anti-air defense point.
Xia Chujian asked very carefully again, "How did you fight in the Fifth Interstellar Fleet? Sister Sang said you were all involved in large-scale legion warfare, which is different from now, right?"
Sang Yadi typed out a sentence quickly.
She was the eighth in the previous assessment, so her code name was D08.
[D08]: Team-based, coordinated operations.
Xia Chujian smiled and nodded, saying, "How about we also operate as a team, based on our dormitory?"
Mao Yonggui hesitated a little: "Chujian, didn't the Instructor say we should act independently? How would cooperation be scored?"
Xia Chujian said, "That's why we need to try. If the missiles from your three warplanes hit the same anti-air defense point simultaneously, let's see if the system will divide the score equally among you."
"Will it?!" Mao Yonggui and Chu Qingjuan asked in unison.
Xia Chujian said, "Let's try it. How will we know if we don't try?"
She found one of the real anti-air defense point coordinates she had tested before and sent it to her three roommates, saying, "Come on, enter it into your warplanes, and then, listen to my time cues. Set the timed firing time, which is to simultaneously activate the warplane's built-in smart machine gun firing system, and see what the scoring situation is!"
Under Xia Chujian's urging, the three roommates entered the coordinates into the warplane's weapon attack system.
Xia Chujian announced the time: "Start at 22:14, stop at 22:15."
It was now 22:13 in the evening.
The goal was to shoot simultaneously and then stop simultaneously after one minute.
The coordinates and time of the warplane's smart machine gun firing could be controlled by Mechanical Intelligence, so this could ensure that the three warplanes had the same activation time and firing volume.
Sure enough, with the assistance of Mechanical Intelligence, the roommates' three warplanes fired simultaneously and then stopped simultaneously.
After destroying this anti-air defense point, Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi each gained 26.67 points.
This was an equal split of eighty points.
Xia Chujian couldn't see their scores yet; they needed to report their numbers individually.
After they reported their numbers, Xia Chujian said with satisfaction, "Just as I thought. Come on, let's go fish for their warplanes!"
As Xia Chujian spoke, she descended again, lowering her warplane to a certain altitude, and said to her three roommates, "Follow me. Wherever I shoot, you shoot there. Don't aim for precision, just aim for maximum firing volume!"
This kind of fighting style was similar to the interstellar battles they had experienced.
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi immediately followed Xia Chujian's command without reservation.
Xia Chujian had also swept the ridge several times before, but the effect became worse and worse as time went on.
She felt that it should be because her firepower was insufficient, so she couldn't draw out the opponent's greater firepower to counterattack.
This time, in addition to her, there were three Eagle-type Fighters sweeping the anti-air defense points on the high ground with her.
With the firepower of four Eagle-type Fighters combined, the rebels really couldn't hide and increased their counterattack intensity.
At the subtle moment of the change in firepower below, the Mechanical Intelligence of Xia Chujian's warplane finally grasped the approximate location of the fourth ammunition depot.
She tested the intensity and direction of the rebels' firepower counterattack in repeated descents and ascents.
A minute later, Xia Chujian suddenly pulled up, rolled and flew away again, driving the Eagle-type Fighter like a rolling barrel. At the same time, she input a coordinate location to her three roommates and said in the communication channel, "22:33, launch missiles!"
This was to have them launch missiles simultaneously at 22:33, instead of continuing to sweep with machine guns.
The three of them had already cooperated once, and this second round of cooperation was easy.
They quickly set the coordinates, turned on the fire control radar to lock on, and set the launch time to 22:33.
At the same time, the three warplanes quickly ascended.
The time reached 22:33.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!* The huge roar seemed like thunder resounding in the sky above the battlefield.
Three missiles simultaneously struck a key anti-aircraft position on the high ground.
But this time, it wasn't an explosion that shaved off half the mountain; instead, the entire mountain collapsed from the middle, creating a deep depression in the continuous oval-shaped ring of highlands!
Then, on everyone's scoreboard, three trainees quickly rose to the top.
Sang Yadi: 6,500.67 points.
Mao Yonggui: 6,100.67 points.
Chu Qingjuan: 5,400.67 points.
Ranking second, third, and fourth respectively!
The explanation behind the scores was that they simultaneously destroyed the rebels' largest ammunition depot, earning each of them an additional 5,000 points.
In other words, 5,000 points were added to the original score of 10,000, and then divided equally among the three of them, instantly increasing each person's score by 5,000 points.
Plus, they had also scored to some extent by following Xia Chujian and strafing the ridge earlier, hitting quite a few real anti-aircraft positions.
As for Lü Luyu, who had been relying entirely on killing to reach 4,500 points, she was suddenly squeezed into fifth place.
Inside the Harrier-type Warplane, Lü Luyu's face was gloomy as she slammed a fist on the console.
She felt a beast roaring in her chest, wanting to kill, to abuse, to… destroy everything in her path! Lü Luyu pursed her lips tightly, adjusted the Warplane's altitude once again, and swooped down with a roar, targeting the rebels who were trying to dig holes and hide in the plains of the mountain hollow.
*Boom!* A Penetrating Bomb screamed as it shot out from the Warplane, piercing into the tunnel and traveling for more than half a kilometer.
All the rebels digging in this tunnel were killed by the Penetrating Bomb.
On the scoreboard, Lü Luyu's score, with just this one action, jumped to 5,000 points!
"Too bad, there was only one Penetrating Bomb…" Lü Luyu smiled, stuck out her tongue, and licked her lips, her eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light.
But a minute later, Xia Chujian led her three roommates and destroyed more than twenty real anti-aircraft positions.
The scores of the three of them also quickly rose to over 7,000 and 6,000 points.
