The situation was urgent, and it was too late to think of a solution. The defenders could no longer afford to hide the transport ships. With an order, all the transport ships on Phobos were activated at the same time. However, these warships did not fly away from Phobos, but after starting their engines.
They each looked for a suitable position and accelerated their rotation against Phobos.
Transport ships only have the most basic armor. They are far from as strong as battleships, and the diameter of Mars is no less than 20 kilometers. How can such a large celestial body be pushed away?
In order to save Mars and push Phobos, the transport ships also worked hard, and all transport ships were outputting at full power. Some were pressed against hard rock formations, and the bows of the ships were deformed; others were pressed against soft positions, with most of the hull
Drilled into the ground; some were pushed against seemingly solid hills, but it turned out that the silver-like wax gun tip was soft enough under the roots of the hills. As soon as the power of the transport ship was turned up, the hills flew away... flew away!
Fortunately, Phobos has more than just super cannons. The missile emplacement on the other side of the artillery array opened fire immediately, and shot out all the missiles on the launcher in one go. Thousands of missiles escaped from the fire in just a few seconds.
Satellite 1, various flight trajectories are intertwined together, and the scene is spectacular.
As soon as the missiles flew out here, the alien fleet over there flew out from behind the asteroid and opened fire on the incoming missiles.
Humans and aliens have fought so many times, and they know each other's combat routines very well. Humans have three tools to open the door: missiles, laser electromagnetic cannons; fly close and then rely on nuclear bombs to decide the outcome. The aliens know these things well and have done them long ago.
Ready.
That is to say, the Mars Task Force has left, otherwise the alien fleet may not dare to stand out so arrogantly... Is it a useless decoration to be an electromagnetic gun?
The ensuing confrontation can be described as boring. It is nothing more than Phobos constantly launching missiles, and the alien fleet is approaching step by step with the asteroid, using all its strength to intercept the missiles.
There are not that many missiles stored on Phobos, but the transport ships are all on Phobos, and the gravity of Phobos is almost nothing. A nuclear bomb more than one meter thick can be carried by a Marine
There is nothing wrong with running around except that the speed must be slower.
Seventeen minutes later, Phobos turned a small half circle, and the artillery array could barely bring the outermost asteroid into the shooting angle.
The defenders couldn't wait to control the artillery array to lock on the asteroid, and a giant beam of light suddenly pierced the void and hit the asteroid in the middle.
I don’t know what the composition of that asteroid is. After being hit by a laser, it intensified at a speed visible to the naked eye. Several alien warships hiding behind it were not spared.
The alien fleet immediately moved sideways collectively to avoid the firing angle of the artillery array, not even caring about the asteroid in front.
The defenders were helpless at this time. According to Io's current rotation speed, the enemy could reach Mars before the artillery array turned around.
The two artillery formations on Mars have long been ready to fire, but the alien fleet did not move toward the poles at all, giving the defenders no chance to fire.
The situation is not favorable for the defenders, but the asteroid must be intercepted, and the super cannon cannot cease fire. Even if there is only one percent hope, one hundred percent effort must be made!
However, there are no battleships, and the unfavorable situation cannot be reversed only by the unremitting efforts of the defenders. Despite the defenders' best efforts, the enemy is still approaching Mars step by step. The only consolation is that the asteroids are killed one by one by the super cannon, and the remaining
Very few fell.
Seeing that the enemy was about to cross Phobos, a transport ship suddenly flew away from Phobos and rushed at full speed towards the enemy more than a thousand kilometers away.
Transport ships are also battleships. Although they do not have as much firepower as battleships, they still have the most basic naval guns and missile launchers. Even if they are not the opponent of the enemy, even if they can only cause a little trouble for the enemy, it is better than watching the enemy.
Is it better to capture Mars?
Everyone knew it was a moth flying into the flame, but no one looked back.
In order to increase its firepower, this transport ship also came up with a clumsy way - a group of sailors wearing power armor fixed themselves on the surface of the battleship and were nervously welding the launcher to the surface of the transport ship.
Inside the transport ship, another wave of crew members has prepared missiles. As soon as the launcher is completed, the missiles can be loaded on them immediately.
The other ships were shocked when they saw this scene, but they understood immediately, and several other transport ships immediately followed.
The power of example is infinite. Several transport ships rush towards the enemy one after another, just like a flag waving towards the enemy. How can the remaining warships still hesitate? Where can they still hesitate? Where can they still dare to hesitate?
Nearly a hundred transport ships broke away from Phobos in just ten seconds. They were from the Beiyuezhou Fleet and the International Fleet. But at this moment, they were no longer a warship from a certain country, but a warship from a certain country.
Human, a battleship belonging to humans!
Everyone knew that using transport ships to attack the alien fleet would almost equal death, but they had to do it.
When the Xuzhou received the news, the transport fleet had already separated from Phobos, and the Xuzhou immediately ordered all transport ships to withdraw.
Just seconds later, Discovery issued the same order.
If they were just transport ships, Xuzhou and Discovery might not be in such a hurry. Transport ships are not that valuable anyway. If they can delay the enemy and buy time, the loss is worth it.
However, many transport ships are still full of supplies. If they are lost, it will be a triple loss of transport ship, skilled crew and four supplies.
The order was given in time, but the Xuzhou only received one sentence: The transport ship is also a battleship!
At this time, the several transport ships flying at the front had already turned on the offensive mode and cleared all the missiles on the ships in one go.
There are not many launchers on the transport ship. Several transport ships fire at the same time, and the missile density is not as high as that of a single battleship.
The alien fleet noticed the anomaly in this direction, and some alien warships quickly turned around and opened fire on the overcoming transport ship.
The transport ship flying at the front was immediately hit by the thin light... The armor of the transport ship was too thin, and it was directly penetrated by the thin light. The good transport ship turned into a sieve in an instant, losing power first, then losing response, and finally completely dead.
sound.
At this point, the transport ship that rushed up could no longer retreat and could only continue to rush forward.
Fortunately, a fully loaded transport ship has a relatively high burden. Even if it accelerates at full speed, it will not be able to pick up the speed. The more supplies it carries, the slower it will be. Therefore, the current losses are basically empty ships, and there is still a chance to evacuate the transport ships that are lagging behind.
Come down.
Just when the Xuzhou reiterated its retreat order, a dazzling beam of light suddenly appeared in the direction of Phobos, piercing the alien fleet thousands of miles away in one fell swoop. At least two enemy ships were destroyed by this powerful beam.
, in addition two to three enemy ships were injured.
