Between the Land of Owari Inner and Outer Borders
Twenty flying objects soared in two horizontal rows over the borders of the Land of Owari. These were carrier-based fighter planes from the Owari Expeditionary Force's Airborne Mobile Combat Unit, known as the Estrela.
These aircraft bear a striking resemblance to the Northrop F-5 of Earth. With a maximum speed of Mach 1,3, they stood as the pride of the Lemurian Covenant forces, their mainstay fighter jets.
"By now, we should be seeing the enemy. Stay alert for surface-to-air weapons; we're up against a formidable foe equipped with missiles!"
The squadron leader's words were met with responses from the other aircraft.
"Understood!"
The replies were firm and dependable. Moved by the remarkable growth of his adored subordinates, whom he had personally trained since their rookie days, the leader—both their instructor and superior—felt his eyes welling up with tears.
Though the fleet had suffered a painful blow in the initial attack, that was as far as the enemy would go. From here on, it was their turn to strike down the enemy and bring its momentum to a grinding halt. The great saga of triumph that he and his subordinates would write together would begin with this very battle.
Both the leader and his subordinates believed this firmly.
Beep! Beep!
The radar reacted, signaling the events that were about to unfold.
・・・
Twenty F-3 Shinshin of the 10th Air Wing's 2nd Squadron were executing an operation to intercept the enemy aerial fleet advancing into the Land of Owari. On each aircraft's radar, an equal number of aircraft traveling at Mach 1,3 appeared heading in their direction.
"An enemy formation believed to be fighters is approaching."
"Incoming communication from the E-767 on patrol. It has been confirmed that the approaching aircraft were launched from the enemy fleet."
Enemy information was also being relayed from the E-767 of the 603rd Squadron, which was monitoring the enemy carrier-based aircraft from high altitude.
"All units, switch to AAM-6s. Target: enemy fighters."
Each F-3 responded to the order and switched to AAM-6 air-to-air missiles in unison.
"Target locked."
"Commence attack."
Dozens of AAM-6s streaked toward the enemy fighter formation.
・・・
The Estrela fighters of the Covenant's Owari Expeditionary Force shuddered as their radars suddenly detected the response of over a dozen incoming projectiles.
"Radar contact! Twenty missiles incoming!"
"Stay calm! All units, fire interceptor missiles and take evasive maneuvers immediately!"
"Copy!"
Although the unexpected attack from outside radar range caused momentary panic, the commander's calm directive reminded the subordinates of their training, and they swiftly moved into intercept mode.
