A bright light suddenly illuminated the void. Ye Han instinctively closed his eyes, but he immediately remembered that he was still in the bridge of the Leishan ship and the light radiation could not hurt his eyes, so he quickly opened it and looked in the direction of the nuclear explosion, and then
, he saw the Jizhou fleet!
"Jizhou, Jizhou and the insect swarm are on fire!" Luo Qi shouted worriedly.
Ye Han asked urgently: "Is there any news about the Jizhou?"
"not yet!"
Ye Han clicked his fingers, and a virtual screen immediately appeared in front of his eyes. The direction, angle and distance of the Jizhou fleet were all displayed before his eyes.
He was surprised to find that the distance between the Jizhou and the Jizhou was not as far as he imagined!
Ye Han's thoughts changed and he immediately thought of the key.
As soon as the Jizhou fleet turned to Callisto, the aliens mobilized more than 10,000 insect drones from the direction of the international fleet to return. The fleet used various means to seize a window of only about ten minutes.
At present, more than half of the window period has passed. If the insect swarm is allowed to return to callisto, it can reach Callisto in a few minutes at most. By then, the landing transport ship and the giant ants on the ground will be the best targets. As long as the insect swarm is over Callisto
After a few flights, you can kill all the giant ants.
Therefore, the Jizhou must intercept the swarm of insects and buy time for the giant ants... But how long does it take for the giant ants to penetrate the solidified glass shell?
Ye Han immediately asked: "How is the situation with the giant ants? Have they gotten into the ground?"
He Lu immediately replied: "The giant ants on ships No. 2, 4, 8, and 11 have already burrowed into the ground, but the others have not yet."
Ye Han was startled: "Give me the image."
He Lu clicked with his fingers, and several points on Callisto expanded rapidly, and soon they were lined up in front of Ye Han.
Ye Han saw it and immediately understood.
These transport ships either landed on the edge of the explosion zone, or there were cave entrances near the landing point, all of which had relatively convenient conditions.
Ye Han asked again: "How long will it take for the rest?"
"The transport ship is drilling in right now. It shouldn't take too long."
Ye Han sucked her teeth hard, with a confused look on her face.
Turning his head to look in the other direction, he saw that there was still a long distance between the other two battle groups and the alien fleet, and they would not be able to catch fire for a while.
Well, it's somewhat of a comfort, at least for the time being, you don't have to worry about this direction.
Looking at the direction of the Jizhou, the destroyers and frigates rushed towards the insect swarm, and missiles, artillery shells and lasers kept firing at the insect swarm. Three aerospace carriers hid behind the escort warships and released carrier-based aircraft. Fighters leaving the ship had already formed nearby.
There are several groups of aircraft, and it seems that they are going to release all the fighter planes in one go.
Each air carrier carries more than 400 aircraft. If all are released, it will be 1,200. It is also a force that cannot be ignored. If used well, it may be able to influence the situation of the battle!
While Huo Qiang led his team to intercept the insect swarm, the international fleet was still engaged in a fierce battle with the insect swarm.
When the Jizhou fleet successfully bombed Callisto, the entire international fleet was excited. Since the Jizhou fleet had completed its combat objectives, Halsey decided to get rid of the insect swarm as soon as possible and escape from the battle.
Having been entangled with the insect swarm for so long, the pressure on the international fleet is too great.
Just when Halsey was trying to get rid of the insect swarm, the Jizhou fleet split into two. Just a few minutes later, a bright light flashed, and the three battle groups headed by the Jizhou officially engaged the insect swarm.
The adjutant suddenly shouted: "General, the insect swarm has withdrawn!"
"Withdrawn?" Halsey was stunned and looked towards the battlefield.
The insect swarm in the front was still entangled with the fleet and had no intention of evacuating. However, behind the insect swarm, a large group of insect aircraft was turning around and returning. Visually, it accounted for about half of the entire insect swarm.
Halsey was stunned and felt bad.
The international fleet destroyed a lot of bugs. After deducting the more than 10,000 bugs that returned home, the number of bugs that fought with the fleet was just over 60,000.
Killing 1,000 enemies and damaging 800. The International Fleet and the Insect Swarm fought desperately for such a long time, and their own losses were not small. All warships, including the flagship Enterprise, were injured to varying degrees, and not a single one was found intact.
In this case, Halsey had every reason to withdraw from the fight.
But as soon as the Jizhou took action, the aliens withdrew the insect machine halfway, and the pressure on the international fleet was instantly reduced by half.
The insect swarms have all withdrawn. If Halsey still withdraws from the battle according to his previous idea, it will not be justified no matter where he is - the Jizhou is desperately fighting against the insect aircraft, how can the international fleet withdraw?
Washington and Beidu have been fighting openly and covertly, this is a fact that everyone knows; the Beiyuezhou Fleet and the International Fleet have not dealt with it, this is not a secret.
But no matter how many interests there are in private, how many calculations there are, and how dirty they are, when it comes to the big issue of aliens, neither Beijing nor Washington will compromise and have zero tolerance.
Huo Qiang dared to leave the international fleet aside because he had to attack Callisto, but what about Halsey? If he withdraws with the international fleet at this time, it will be equivalent to pushing the entire Jizhou fleet into a pit.
Not to mention that Beijing can't do it, even Washington must give an explanation to its people.
In the face of national interests, what does a five-star general mean?
It is estimated that before the fleet leaves Jupiter, he will have to be relieved of all his duties and detained until a military court... Most likely it will still be a joint military court under the Joint Command, jointly organized by China and the United States, and Washington will not even protect him.
If you can't find any loopholes, the lightest sentence will be hanging.
Countless thoughts flashed through Halsey's mind, and he had already made a decision on what to do: "Order, the frigate moves forward to lure the enemy, the destroyer follows to cover, and the mothership follows behind to move forward, rush forward!"
With an order, all the warships in the international fleet that could still move took action. The smaller and lighter frigates quickly rushed towards the swarm of insects, followed by other warships, brazenly blowing the horn of counterattack.
The American battleship at the forefront was the USS Clifton, followed closely by the USS Clemenceau, USS Elizabeth and USS Garibald.
Of course, the distance between these battleships was at least ten kilometers. They charged and opened fire, almost plunging into the insect swarm.
The Clifton at the front is undoubtedly the most eye-catching and the most hateful battleship. Countless insect drones are staring at this human battleship. When the distance is far away, they use thin light. When the distance is close, they directly collide with it.
, the Clifton rushed into the insect swarm for more than ten seconds, and hundreds of insect drones were already on the ship.
Fortunately, the armor thickness of the Clifton was up to standard, but none of the bug machines was able to penetrate the armor. Instead, it was nailed to the armor and unable to move.
However, the situation of the Clifton was still very dangerous. Many of the insect drones nailed to the armor were still firing. The thin beams fell on the armor one after another, constantly cutting the armor. It was only a matter of time before it penetrated the armor.
