The gap between nuclear explosions became shorter and shorter, and the high-frequency nuclear explosions dazzled everyone's eyes. The screen almost turned into a white screen, and no one could see anything useful.
It wasn't until the nuclear explosion came to an end that the screen gradually returned to normal and everyone's eyes slowly recovered.
When they saw the scene on the screen clearly, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.
In just a few minutes, the battlefield changed completely.
Not a single sub-guided warhead from the intercontinental missile was left. Correspondingly, only three and a half of the six asteroids were left, and the other two and a half were turned into rubble in the nuclear explosion.
The warships hidden behind the asteroid all followed the asteroid, and the ones covered by the asteroid were basically unharmed. As for the rest, there is no need to mention them. Without the cover of the asteroid, they could not escape the laser attack even if they were not killed by the nuclear explosion.
When Lu Hang launched its attack on the asteroid, there were more than fifty fighter planes in total, and less than half of them survived until now. The combat airspace was full of floating fighter plane fragments, many of which were human beings, and even more alien ones.
The situation on the other side was not much better. The Army Aviation destroyed a large number of alien fighters at the cost of annihilating the entire army, but only destroyed a few alien warships.
Ye Han quickly counted. The two battlefields were hundreds of kilometers apart. There were only more than thirty fighters left, and all the fighters had used up their missiles, losing the basic conditions for continued combat.
The brief intense firefight failed to change the situation on the battlefield. The asteroid continued to advance, and the alien warships were still hiding behind the asteroid. The anti-aircraft firepower from the ground never stopped, and countless lasers hit the asteroid one after another.
Ye Han was so anxious that his heart was on fire: "What the hell, aliens want to hit the earth with an asteroid, right?"
"Isn't it possible?" Qi Haifeng's tone was full of uncertainty, "In that case, just throw the asteroid. There is no need for the battleship to follow."
Bian Ge immediately raised a different opinion: "What if aliens deliberately use asteroids to attract firepower?"
There was a moment of silence in the bridge, and everyone looked at Bian Ge, as if their eyes were trying to strip Bian Ge naked.
"What do you want to do?" Bian Ge was startled, "Why don't you let people talk?"
Ye Han shook his head: "On the contrary, I think you said it!"
"Yes!" Qi Haifeng immediately agreed, "This is the purpose of the aliens. If the asteroid lands, the earth will be over. You think, if the enemy's warship enters the atmosphere together with the asteroid, which one should be dealt with first, the asteroid or the enemy ship?
?”
"Of course..." Bian Ge wanted to say something about the enemy ship, but the words couldn't come out.
Aliens landing on the earth will cause endless harm, but no matter how bad the consequences are, they will not appear immediately. Asteroids are different. This thing cannot land at all. Once it lands, it will be an astronomical level disaster. It is not a joke to affect the whole world. Let me ask.
Who dares to attack the enemy ship first, regardless of the asteroid?
With the cover of asteroids, alien fleets will definitely have a chance to break through the air defense network, and landing on the earth is not a dream.
Long Jianguo's expression was extremely ugly: "There must be missiles on the ground, and asteroids are definitely not a problem."
"Having missiles alone is of no use, the key is whether there are intercontinental missiles." Qi Haifeng said, "By the time the asteroid enters the atmosphere, it will be too late."
Intercontinental missiles can fly out of the atmosphere, while ordinary missiles, even if equipped with nuclear bombs, can only destroy targets within the atmosphere.
Ye Han was worried: "Do you think there are still intercontinental missiles?"
"There should be." Bian Ge guessed, "We have only played one round. It is impossible for the boss to bet everything on one round."
"Even if there are, there aren't many. It's impossible to hit as many as we did just now." Qi Haifeng said.
"That would be troublesome." Ye Han said.
If there are still a large number of intercontinental missiles, countries can calmly deploy them and launch a few more rounds to intercept asteroids.
What if not?
Good steel must be used on the cutting edge. Without enough intercontinental missiles to back it up, the remaining intercontinental missiles have to be used with caution, that is to say, they must be used at the most critical time.
The sooner an intercontinental missile is launched, the easier it is to be intercepted by aliens. Conversely, the closer an asteroid flies to the earth, the more dangerous it is. The contradiction between the two is simply irreconcilable.
Everyone was talking to each other, and within a short time, all the possibilities were mentioned. In the end, there was nothing to say, so we could only continue to look at the screen and ponder.
The alien warship was still moving forward against the asteroid. The remaining fighter jets of the Army Aviation Group followed for a while and then suddenly flew away. It seemed that they should have returned to the moon.
The lasers were still firing non-stop, and the ground already knew that it could not deal with asteroids. The lasers on the front stopped at some point, leaving only the firepower on the sides to try their best to hit the enemy ships.
However, the asteroids are arranged very tightly, and no matter whether the beam comes from the front or the side, it cannot attack the enemy ship.
The asteroid flew closer and closer, and the ground finally launched missiles again, but the number was less than ten.
As soon as the missile flew out of the atmosphere, it was strongly blocked by aliens. Even the edges of the alien fleet were destroyed by the thin light.
Just like that, the asteroid crossed a distance of more than a thousand kilometers in a short time and was about to fall into the atmosphere. But until this time, the third round of missiles did not appear.
Everyone's hearts were almost frozen, and they watched helplessly as the asteroid crashed into the atmosphere.
Isn’t it possible that the earth today can’t even put together a few intercontinental missiles?
The first asteroid that fell into the atmosphere finally appeared. A ball of red light enveloped the lower end of the asteroid, and then several other asteroids entered the atmosphere one after another.
"It's over!" Qi Haifeng stared blankly at the screen as if he was mourning.
"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Yuan's eyes were full of despair.
The others were not much better, Long Jianguo looked at the screen without saying a word; Bian Ge was mumbling about something and he didn't know what he was talking about; Ye Han's eyes were straight, dumbfounded.
At this point, even if a nuclear bomb hits the asteroid and shatters it, the fragments will remain in the atmosphere and continue to fall to the ground.
At the critical moment, the ground beneath the asteroid finally reacted again, launching a large number of anti-aircraft missiles at the same time.
Seeing this, everyone knew the answer in their minds. The intercontinental missiles must have been used up, otherwise it would be impossible to wait until this time to launch the missiles.
At this time, everyone did not dare to hope for anything more. They just hoped that the missile would smash the asteroid and the fragments would fall to the ground. It would be much better than the asteroid hitting the ground directly.
At this moment, the battleship that had been hiding behind the asteroid suddenly opened up its firepower, and dense thin light immediately fell on the asteroid, quickly dividing the huge asteroid, and the fragments separated from the main body immediately flew away, and there was no trace of it.
After a while, the huge asteroid turned into a rain of meteorites flying all over the sky, occupying a large area of the sky like a dark cloud on fire.
