If the Jizhou fleet arrives and still cannot capture Callisto, and the two fleets join together, the fourteen battle groups will be the fourteen directions.
Ye Han wanted to see if the aliens would divide the light bugs into fourteen groups.
This time, the aliens were very sensible and did not disperse the insect swarm. The insect swarm continued to move forward without any distractions, with no intention of dividing their troops.
As long as the positions are reasonable, five groups of light bugs are enough to control the sky of Callisto. Are the aliens planning to fight to the death?
After another half an hour, the battle group of the international fleet had controlled half of the sky on Callisto. After running for a full hour, the speed of the insect swarm dropped significantly, but the progress was only slightly slower than that of the fleet group.
Not sure whether they were tired of waiting or were deliberately testing, the international fleet suddenly launched another round of attacks. This time it was launched from nine directions at the same time. It was still a classic combination of missiles and artillery shells.
As soon as a move was made here, the insect swarm immediately stopped advancing and quickly gathered to prepare to intercept. After the missile shells flew into the range, several insect swarms opened fire one after another.
But this time it was different from the past. There were too many attacks in the direction, and the insect swarm was obviously unable to cope with it. Although all the missiles were blocked, a few shells were missed, and one of them hit the insect swarm, killing at least a hundred people.
Many light bugs.
The International Fleet is a chokehold, so why isn’t it a nuclear bomb?
Not only this one, but also other artillery missiles do not carry nuclear warheads.
This is because the international fleet is not yet sure whether this round of attacks can break through and intercept. Using nuclear bombs is obviously a waste. Conventional ammunition must be used. Whenever a flaw is discovered, it is not too late to use nuclear bombs.
The success of this artillery shell gave the international fleet a shot of stimulant. The artillery fire that had just stopped resumed instantly and became more violent. Countless artillery shells and missiles were thrown down one after another. A stupid man with too much money just wanted to use artillery shells to hit him.
Damn your nouveau riche attitude.
The swarm of insects on the ground remained unhurried and stayed firmly there. They first copied all the incoming missiles, and then all the light insects ran away and quickly changed their positions.
Their speed was very fast. It only took a few tens of seconds to run several kilometers. By the time the shells fell, the target had changed from the insect swarm to the open wasteland.
Cannonballs fell like raindrops, leaving the wasteland in a mess. Then a nuclear bomb fell. The wasteland was instantly enveloped in strong light, and the earth shook violently. Even light bugs a few kilometers away were not immune. All light bugs whose legs and feet touched the ground were
It was so shaken that it floated off the ground, like nuts flying up and down in a frying pan.
However, the lightworms had already escaped the range of the nuclear bomb, and the vibration did not cause any harm to the lightworms. Not only were they fine after they landed, they immediately organized themselves, fired into the sky, and continued to intercept the missiles.
Just like this, several groups of light bugs were driven around by human firepower. The escaping light bugs could get in the air and fire several cannons into the sky. As a result, none of the missiles could land, but the cannonballs fell quite happily.
Just none of them hit the target.
But it doesn't matter. This small problem can't trouble professional soldiers. The international fleet immediately improved its tactics and no longer aimed at the insect swarm. Instead, it took into account factors such as the directional speed and direction change of the insect swarm.
The swarm fires, and also fires in the direction where the insect swarm may escape.
Now the insect swarm is doomed. First, the Constellation and the Intrepid worked together to make a contribution. The shells hit the insect swarm one after another, and then the nuclear bombs fell one by one. In the blink of an eye, a single insect swarm crippled the international fleet. Six or seven
At least half of the ten thousand light bugs were killed, and the rest were either severely burned or barely surviving. It would be considered good if only one tenth survived.
Neither the Constellation nor the Intrepid planned to hold back. After destroying the insect swarm, they replenished a batch of cannonballs and stopped contentedly until all the light bugs were killed.
However, in just a few minutes, the insect swarm labeled No. 3 was completely destroyed. If the giant insect army also had a number, the fate of the No. 3 insect swarm would definitely be that the number was cancelled.
One breakthrough led to the overall situation. The Bainbridge and Saratoga also broke through the swarm's defense and killed more than half of the No. 4 swarm. If the nuclear bomb's impact point was not a little off, the No. 4 swarm must have been too.
The end result of the entire army being annihilated.
As if realizing that the situation was not good, the remaining insect swarm suddenly gave up resistance. The originally gathered insects instantly turned into birds and beasts and dispersed. All the light insects struggled to move their legs, or jumped or ran to escape with all their strength.
The purpose of the insect swarm is very simple, to disperse quickly and not to gather together. In this way, no matter the artillery or missiles, it is impossible to kill a large group of giant insects with one shot.
This move is indeed a good way to deal with air attacks, but the insect swarm is too concentrated and cannot be easily dispersed. The international fleet went all out and smashed tens of thousands of them in just a few dozen seconds.
The shells killed one-quarter to one-fifth of the fleeing light bugs... The scene was so chaotic that it was impossible to calculate detailed results.
After a while, the giant bugs were no longer found on the ground. The international fleet, which had been wandering outside the safe zone for a year, quickly approached Callisto and continued to beat the light bugs' ass.
An unexpected situation occurred again. The light bugs dispersed, but they only dispersed (four beeps) and not dispersed (three beeps). When missiles appeared in the air again, all the light bugs stopped again, raised their butts and started to intercept.
.
However, this time the light bugs were too scattered, and the thin beams could not be gathered together, let alone the range bonus. The result was that the interception was all about blindness and blindness. There was no shortage of fire, but few missiles were shot down.
Perhaps realizing that the dispersed lightworms could no longer stop the missiles, or perhaps because the aliens did not want to make unnecessary sacrifices, the insect swarm suddenly gave up interception. All the lightworms looked for a way out, and some found a nearby hole and went in.
Drill; some just find a hole and dig in; others run away, not caring whether there are cannonballs falling above their heads.
The battle turned into a one-sided massacre. Ye Han was finally sure that there were only more than 300,000 lightworms on Callisto. Otherwise, if the war had reached this point, the aliens would have revealed their hidden methods.
.
At this time, a group of insect drones suddenly appeared on the edge of Callisto. At first, there were only a few dozen, but after just a moment, there was a large group, and then an overwhelming swarm of insect drones came out.
Not just on the edge of Callisto, wherever the insect drones fly, holes in the ground will open, and insect drones will fly into the sky one after another, and the insect drone swarm will grow bigger and bigger like a snowball.
Neither Ye Han nor anyone else could count how many insect drones there were, and even the battleship's scanning equipment was powerless. They were like swarms of locusts swooping on crops, rushing toward battleships in the air regardless.
The light bug can only lie on the ground, but the bug machine is flying in the sky, which is not a dangerous level at all.
