Six, no, ten, no, twenty people from Imperial sides were flying towards his Blackhawk. Del aimed the tip of his GAU-21 machine gun in their direction. A burst of heavy machine gun munition was fired in their direction. The energy shield they used wouldn't be enough to protect them from a direct hit from a heavy machine gun.
"Bravo 1-1 engaging targets," Morris reported the progress to Belgram airbase. Anna was Bravo 1-2 and Del was Bravo 1-3. If Del recalled correctly, the other squadron also had a similar codename.
The F-15 that just flew past them was the Alpha squadron. The F-15 that patrolled the south coast was the Charlie squadron. It was a full-blown counter assault. After all, they had significant importance in that assault. Failure to do this would result in an imbalance of war on a later day.
