The high-speed alien fleet did not retreat, and the Yuzhou battle group also had no room to retreat. The moment the enemy entered the range, the Yuzhou battle group opened fire with artillery shells, missiles and lasers and pounced on the enemy.
The alien fleet did not hesitate and immediately launched a counterattack.
Probably because they were afraid of being wiped out by the super cannon, the enemy warships were very scattered. As a result, the firepower of the Yuzhou fleet had to be averaged over all enemy ships, and the firepower assigned to each enemy ship was not very strong.
While the fleet was firing, the artillery array was also ready to fire, with all launchers aimed at the direction in which the enemy ships were flying... Want to rely on speed to avoid the super cannon? It's a pretty good idea!
Several alien warships were hit by the Yuzhou battle group, and some crashed and some lost control. However, the remaining enemy ships did not retreat at all and continued to rush forward at full speed despite the firepower of the Yuzhou battle group.
The Yuzhou battle group originally wanted to use firepower to force the enemy to give up the attack, but the alien fleet had no intention of giving up at all.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and after a while, the Yuzhou will enter the range of the thin light.
At this moment, the Yuzhou battle group suddenly climbed upwards and took the initiative to break away from the battle.
Ye Han was stunned for a while, but soon understood that the Yuzhou was executing Huo Qiang's order to avoid losing more battleships.
As for the super cannon, haha, the cost of a gun array is at most half a battleship. From a tactical point of view, there is nothing wrong with using a fleet to protect the artillery array, but from an economic point of view, doing so is not ordinary stupidity.
With Huo Qiang's order in advance, the Yuzhou does not have to defend Ceres, and naturally will not fight the enemy for a gun array.
Just a few minutes later, the first enemy ship flew into the firing angle of the gun array. It was at an extremely low altitude and chose a hill as a cover. If it could be directly hit by the laser, it would be only a few dozen kilometers away from the gun array.
At the enemy ship's current speed, it would only take more than ten seconds to fly over the artillery array.
The artillery array had been ready to fire for a long time, and the radar immediately locked onto the enemy ship. Then the artillery array suddenly opened fire, and tens of thousands of laser beams hit the enemy ship instantly.
In order to ensure the range, each artillery array has hundreds of thousands of lasers, and the ten or twenty thousand lasers are only a small part of the entire artillery array.
The laser penetrated the enemy ship, but the laser was a directed energy weapon and had no physical impact capability. The speed of the enemy ship was far higher than the escape speed of Ceres. The result was that although the enemy ship lost control after being destroyed, it still continued as before.
The trajectory continues to fly.
As one would have guessed, the control system of the artillery array was not that smart. It mistakenly believed that the enemy ship still had combat capability, so it continued to lock on the enemy ship and launched another laser attack with a unit of 10,000.
At this time, several other enemy ships flew out from behind the mountain, and the artillery array fired in batches, destroying one enemy ship after another.
Of course, these "dead" enemy ships are all moving forward on the same trajectory as before. Unless the entire battleship is completely vaporized, the rigid control system will always determine that the enemy ships in the air are still a threat and continue to blast them with lasers.
.
The leading enemy ship attracted a large amount of firepower, creating an extremely short opportunity for the following enemy ships. They took advantage of this fleeting opportunity to launch the most violent attack on the artillery array.
For a time, countless thin lights fell into the artillery array, cutting off everything in its path, and the firepower from the artillery array plummeted.
Everyone knew that the artillery array was finished and it was only a matter of time before it was completely destroyed. However, the aliens did not kill them all. It was not known whether they were too late or deliberately let go of the artillery array... This was obviously impossible. The aliens only
I think the artillery array was not completely destroyed.
However, this judgment was quickly broken by the aliens, because their ground troops launched an attack again. This time there was no counterattack by the defenders or bombing by the fleet. The ground troops advanced in high spirits and rushed all the way to the vicinity of the artillery array.
The condition of the artillery array at this time was very bad. Half of the launchers were destroyed, a lot of circuits were damaged, and less than one-fifth of the launchers were still usable.
However, the control system hidden under the artillery battery was still intact. The rigid control system did not know how to adapt. It faithfully executed the combat procedures, controlled the remaining lasers to lower the firing angle, and fired at the incoming ground troops.
The super cannon can't target the air or the ground, but it's not impossible to fire flatly, it's just that it can't focus the fire.
The giant insects and enemy soldiers are not as powerful as the alien battleships. Lasers swept across them and suddenly turned them into pieces of flesh. The dead ones could no longer die.
Everyone who witnessed this scene could not understand the thoughts of the aliens. They were all in this state. If the fleet came again, the entire artillery array would be completely destroyed. By then, the other artillery array would only be able to control a small half of the sky of Ceres.
, the aliens can come and leave as they please, at least they can land on Ceres without any hindrance. It cannot be said that they have strategic initiative, but at least they have some control over it.
What does it mean to insist on ground advancement at this time?
The aliens' perseverance exceeded everyone's imagination, and they quickly organized another wave of attacks. However, this time they did not approach the artillery array, but stopped at a safe distance. The giant insects accompanying the army immediately dug caves, and soon they
Get into the ground.
The enemy soldiers followed the giant insect, and it didn't take long for this wave of enemy soldiers to burrow into the ground... The place where they drilled the hole was a bit far away, and even if the giant insect had an amazing digging ability, it wouldn't be able to dig anywhere for a while.
In this way, the giant insect dug for two days and finally dug a tunnel under the artillery array. Fortunately, an enemy soldier dug into the control room of the artillery array and successfully cut off the system's control of the launcher.
At this point, this broken artillery array fell into the hands of aliens.
The Yuzhou ship discovered from the surveillance that the enemy soldiers were very protective of the control equipment. This situation immediately attracted the Yuzhou ship's great attention. The situation was very obvious. The aliens' goal was not to destroy the artillery array, but to occupy the artillery array and understand the artillery array.
, there may be the idea of duplicating the artillery array, which is not a good sign. While reporting the situation to the Nanzhou, the Yuzhou decisively detonated the nuclear bomb placed under the artillery array.
In the center of the artillery array that had just been occupied by enemy soldiers, a dazzling bright light suddenly exploded, followed by a tremor that shook the earth. The powerful nuclear explosion overturned the entire artillery array, turning the location of the artillery array into a half kilometer deep.
In the explosion crater, everything within the explosion range, whether it was the equipment setting up the artillery array or the giant insect enemy soldiers sent by aliens, disappeared.
Placing nuclear bombs in advance is only a necessary preventive measure. It is nothing to humans. It is just the simplest conventional tactic.
But it was different for the aliens. The artillery array they had just received flew away again. The aliens were so frustrated that they almost vomited blood. In excitement, they immediately ordered the ground troops to continue attacking the next artillery array.
