The defenders had already made plans to deal with various situations. The two fleets had also conducted several offensive and defensive drills. When they discovered that the alien fleet was shooting at the artillery array in a blind spot, the Xuzhou and the Discovery simultaneously made the decision that the enemy was about to attack.
Based on his judgment, he separately led the fleet to the predetermined position and prepared to meet the enemy.
After the aliens threw the asteroid, the two fleets immediately opened fire to intercept it. To be on the safe side, they not only launched missiles, but also fired several nuclear magnetic artillery shells at the asteroid.
An asteroid is not a battleship. It cannot turn, intercept, or change speed. As long as the direction and speed of the asteroid are calculated, it is not difficult to hit the asteroid.
How can aliens watch an asteroid being destroyed by humans? The alien fleet did not hesitate to divide into several teams, each team following an asteroid.
"This is using an asteroid as a shield!" Ye Han commented.
He really wanted to ask the aliens, do you really think this thing can block human missiles and shells?
The answer is of course no, but there is really no big problem if you can block the laser.
In this way, the two sides started the first battle around the asteroid hitting Mars. The aliens tried their best to intercept the human missiles and shells, while the humans focused on targeting the alien warships. Only when they really couldn't find the target, they would
The muzzle turned towards the asteroid.
On the battlefield, laser beams came and went, and missiles and shells flew back and forth. However, both sides were very cautious and stayed out of the enemy's effective range. The battle seemed fierce, but the actual losses were not much.
To be precise, this was not a direct exchange of fire, but only an indirect confrontation.
Neither the enemy nor we were new to the battlefield, and the commanders on both sides were very careful, and no flaws were exposed on either side. Soon after, the asteroids were destroyed one by one by nuclear bombs, and the aliens understood that nothing could be done and decisively withdrew.
In the battle, the first round of confrontation between the two sides ended in vain.
Afterwards, the commanders of both sides were very dissatisfied with the outcome of the battle. The aliens failed to achieve the set combat objectives, and humans failed to destroy the alien warships.
It is true that neither side suffered a loss, but to put it another way, neither side took advantage. It would be surprising if the commanders on both sides were satisfied. Some would rather lose the battle quickly than hang in the air like this.
Strong thoughts.
The alien fleet retreated voluntarily, with no signs of attack for the time being. However, the Mars defenders were weak and did not have the ability to take the initiative. As soon as the Battle of Mars began, the situation fell into a stalemate.
Everyone believes that when the next wave of alien fleets arrives on Mars, it will be the time when the enemy launches another round of attack.
The next wave of enemy ships has always been the key monitoring target of the defenders. If nothing unexpected happens, this enemy force will arrive on Mars in about half a month.
At this time, the defenders should have actively prepared for war, but those who could prepare had already finished preparing. All they can do now is wait patiently.
A few days later, before the next wave of enemy troops reached Mars, the Jizhou battle group flew to Jupiter first. The international fleet with the Enterprise as the core only had two days left to sail, and the fifth Battle of Jupiter was about to begin.
However, the upcoming battle on Jupiter has nothing to do with Mars. The only mission of the Mars Task Force is to defend Mars.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and the third wave of enemy ships finally approached Mars. However, the defenders discovered that this wave of enemy ships had reached the time to slow down, but none of the enemy ships slowed down and instead continued to accelerate.
Xuzhou and Discovery immediately held a round of emergency consultations. Both parties agreed that there were two possibilities. One was to increase the speed of the asteroid without slowing down, thereby increasing the impact power of the asteroid; the other was to have alien logging
Not on Mars.
If the aliens had the first idea, the defenders would be nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and cover it with soil. If the aliens had the second idea, then the situation would be serious.
The two battle groups immediately made preparations.
A few days later, the enemy army approached Mars and shook off the asteroids in its team millions of kilometers away from Mars. Then the enemy army circled behind Mars and looked at their speed and orbit. It turned out that they wanted to use Mars.
Gravity speeds up!
What makes the defenders even more annoyed is that the speed of this enemy force is neither fast nor slow. If the speed is faster, the defenders will be exhausted and have no way to catch up. They can only watch the enemy troops flying towards the earth; on the contrary, if it is slower, they will not be able to catch up.
, the situation will be exactly the opposite. Before this enemy army can cross Mars, it will be stopped by the defenders.
The situation couldn't be more obvious. The aliens are doing this just to show the Mars task force. If the defenders intercept, they must leave Mars. But if they don't intercept, this enemy force will fly straight to the earth.
It's the lesser of two evils. Faced with this situation, the defenders have to intercept it with all their strength no matter how reluctant they are. After confirming the enemy's situation, the two fleets set off at the same time, leaving Mars aside and intercepting it with all their strength.
"This is a conspiracy!" Ye Han gritted his teeth after receiving the news, "These bastards are quite advanced, and they even know how to use their brains."
"What should we do?" Luo Qi was worried. "Why are the two battle groups following up? This is great. Mars only has super cannons left. Can it withstand the enemy's attack?"
"You have to carry it even if you can't bear it." Ye Han said, "No matter how important Mars is, can it be more important than the earth?"
The aliens have indeed posed a problem for the Mars defenders, but one person knows which is more important, Mars or the Earth. There is no need to guess at the choice of the fleet. The priority must be to intercept the enemy.
The consequences of aliens occupying Mars have been discussed many times. Now that the speculation is about to become a reality, everyone's heart is heavy.
The enemy threw the asteroid towards Mars, already signaling the attack, but the Mars Task Force had to leave at this most critical time, which simply made matters worse.
As soon as the task force left Mars, the third wave of enemy forces began to accelerate. Anyone who was not blind could tell that the enemy intended to take the human fleet farther away.
Two days later, the asteroid thrown towards Mars flew close. The first two waves of enemy troops that had been lingering near Mars followed the asteroid and launched another round of impact on Mars.
The enemy forces follow the asteroid not only to seek cover, but also to shoulder the important task of adjusting the direction of the asteroid to prevent these disobedient weapons from deviating at the last moment.
Probably because the distance when throwing the asteroids was too far and the speed and angle were not very accurate, the asteroid group did not fly into the blind spot as planned by the aliens, but entered the shooting range of Phobos.
A super cannon is enough for aliens to have a good drink, but it rained all night, and asteroid groups and enemy ships were already within range, but the cannon array on Phobos was facing Mars and did not fire at all.
Depending on the angle, it will take at least half an hour to turn to the appropriate direction.
What a shame, even God is on the side of the aliens. After waiting for more than half an hour, asteroids hit the ground!
