After the communication ended, Wu Han couldn't help laughing and said: "Is this old guy crazy?"
On the surface, Huo Qiang's plan was to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, but in fact, the international fleet attracted the insect swarm and created an opportunity for the Jizhou fleet to destroy Callisto, which was equivalent to making a wedding dress for the Jizhou fleet.
It's strange that Halsey wouldn't be angry if he gnawed the bones himself and gave the meat to others.
Zhuang Bo also laughed: "There is no way, the situation is like this, if we exchange fire with the enemy first, I don't believe he can rush up with the international fleet!"
Huo Qiang said: "Stop making sarcastic remarks, Chief of Staff?"
"arrive!"
"Organize manpower immediately and calculate the best opportunity."
"Okay!" Wu Han agreed and immediately assigned the task.
Although the plan has been made, its execution is not as easy as talking about it. To put it simply, the tail of the insect swarm has just left Callisto. If the Jizhou fleet rushes over immediately, it will definitely attract the attention of the insect swarm. By then, the insect swarm will be alone.
After returning from the Maqiangdou, the Jizhou fleet also had to retreat.
The fleet must continue to fly in the current direction until the tail of the insect swarm is far away from Callisto, and then suddenly turn to throw away the insect swarm. It only takes more than ten minutes to drop hundreds of nuclear bombs.
Therefore, the timing of the turn is very important. You must be cautious and cautious, and you must not allow any mistakes.
After Wu Han arranged the task, he suggested: "Commander, if we turn off the engines...can we confuse the aliens?"
Human warships are now painted in black, which makes them very inconspicuous against the background of the universe. If the engines are turned off, they will completely blend into the starry sky, minimizing the presence of the fleet, which is very beneficial for a sneak attack on Callisto.
Huo Qiang pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Zhuang Bo: "What do you think?"
Zhuang Bo said: "We should deal with the problem rather than the person. I don't think it is necessary."
Huo Qiang asked: "What's the reason?"
Zhuang Bo said: "If I remember correctly, aliens should search for targets with the naked eye, and their eyes are very special and the visible spectrum is very wide, right?"
After being transferred to the fleet for more than half a year, Zhuang Bo has read not only eight inches but one foot of information. He has thoroughly read all the information related to aliens.
Huo Qiang nodded: "That's what happened."
Zhuang Bo said: "That's right. Although the aliens did not send the insect swarm here, our fleet must have been monitored by the aliens. Turning off the flames will not only not reduce the sense of presence, but may also attract the attention of the aliens...
…What do you think?”
"Your advice is to continue with the status quo?"
"Yes, I think no action is the best cover." Zhuang Bo said.
Huo Qiang's eyes moved to Wu Han: "What do you think?"
Wu Han said: "I agree!"
"Then keep the status quo." Huo Qiang said, "order all ships to prepare."
On the screen, the insect swarm and the international fleet are still inseparable, but everyone's focus is no longer on the battle between the two sides, but where the international fleet has withdrawn, and where the insect swarm has arrived... No one cares about the arrival of the international fleet.
Where, the pitiful attention given to the international fleet is to determine the distance between the fleet and the insect swarm, and to calculate when the insect swarm will catch up with the fleet.
Time always slows down when the critical moment arrives. After waiting anxiously for twenty-eight minutes, the insect swarm in the direction of Lexington took the lead in bringing the fleet into range. The insect aircraft in this direction seemed to be on stimulants and accelerated forward.
At the same time, they opened fire with all their strength on the battle group headed by the Lexington.
The distance between other battle groups and the insect swarm is not far away. In the next few minutes, one after another battle groups are overtaken by the insect swarm. If the previous battles still have some reservations, then the current battle is a real all-out effort.
All available weapons were used by the international fleet. Artillery shells and missiles were thrown at no cost, and lasers were fired one after another. Every human warship was like a hedgehog on fire, throwing all its firepower at the swarm of insects.
.
The international fleet's counterattack caused the insect swarm to suffer unprecedented losses. At least dozens of insect drones were killed by lasers every second, and the insect swarm suffered huge losses from thousands of insect drones every minute.
Huo Qiang, who witnessed this scene, looked at Wu Han: "How is it? Is the time ripe?"
Wu Han said: "Now, we can grab eight minutes at most. Time is a bit tight, so it's best to wait a little longer."
Huo Qiang asked: "Is eight minutes enough?" He also knew that the time would be more mature if he waited, but the insect swarm had already exchanged fire with the international fleet at close range, and there was no movement at this time. If he waited any longer, Hal West Africa would explode.
No.
There are conflicts between the two fleets, but they are all internal conflicts among human beings. It is nothing to sit back and watch the other side suffer misfortune. But if you watch the other side fight against the aliens, it is a matter of principle. Not to mention that Washington does not agree, it is the Northern Capital.
It is impossible to tolerate it.
Wu Han thought for a while and said: "Move faster, it's almost enough."
"Then what are you waiting for? Send my order, the fleet turns to Callisto and speeds forward!" Huo Qiang said.
"Understood!" Wu Han agreed and immediately passed on the order. The shrill battle alarm immediately sounded throughout every battleship.
A few seconds later, the Jizhou took the lead to turn to Callisto, and other warships followed suit. The propellers of all warships erupted with intense flashes, and the speed of the fleet skyrocketed.
Halsey on the Enterprise finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Jizhou fleet had already taken action. As long as it persisted for a while, the Jizhou fleet would be able to rush to Callisto, and by then the insect swarm would be destroyed without any attack.
However, everything that happened next was beyond Halsey's expectation. Not only did the damn insect swarm not look back, but they launched an even crazier attack. Judging from their movements, it seemed that they wanted to destroy the International Fleet first, and then turn around and destroy Jizhou.
fleet.
Halsey almost broke his back molar. Damn it, why are the aliens staring at his fleet? Why don't they rush back to help?
At this point, complaining and cursing are of no use. Halsey can only accept the reality and order the fleet to resist desperately.
There were too many insect planes. It had only been a few minutes since the insect swarm caught up with Lexington, but more than a dozen warships in the international fleet had been severely damaged. If they had not retreated in time, I don't know how many ships would have been sunk.
At this moment, Halsey no longer dared to expect the actions of the Jizhou battle group to share much pressure. He only hoped that the bombardment of the Jizhou fleet would be stronger and force the aliens to quickly evacuate the damn bugs.
The battle continued, and the insect swarm's aggressive attack regardless of losses put great pressure on the international fleet. Although the international fleet killed many insect aircraft, this result was nothing to the huge number of insect swarms.
If the situation could not be reversed in time, the fleet would be in danger. Halsey had to order each ship to eject carrier-based aircraft, hoping that the large number of fighter planes could share some of the pressure on the fleet.
