At 15:22 on June 25, 2033, the Sirius broke away from the combined fleet and flew to the interception point as a single ship.
Due to the angle, the First Turkish Fleet could not see the Sirius for the time being, but shortly after setting off, the Sirius appeared in the sight of the Second Turkish Fleet.
The aliens who witnessed this scene were both surprised and horrified. They couldn't understand how this human warship could move so fast, let alone where the humans got such a warship from.
Based on the direction and speed of the Sirius, the aliens immediately concluded that the target of the Sirius was an alien fleet.
Although the Sirius is just a battleship, human weapons are really abnormal, and this battleship is so big and so fast. It is obviously not an ordinary battleship. Therefore, the aliens pay enough attention to the Sirius.
Some battleships in the second fleet accelerated away while releasing insect drones. After a while, they left the battlefield and dived towards the earth at high speed, intending to intercept the Sirius.
Cook wanted to intercept, but he had too few warships and it was very difficult to deal with the remaining enemy ships. He could only watch the more than one hundred enemy ships leave.
The only thing he can do is to send a warning to the Sirius... Both the enemy and ourselves are within each other's sight. Even if Cook does nothing, the Sirius can still see the actions of the Second Turkish Fleet.
But having said that, those more than one hundred warships were originally the opponents of the reserve fleet. Now that these enemy ships have left, Cook should report them due to circumstances and reasons.
After receiving the news, Duan Zhiyang immediately calculated the routes of both the enemy and ourselves, and quickly concluded that the enemy forces from the Second Turkish Fleet were blocking the Sirius' route!
Duan Zhiyang is so miserable. If the Sirius maintains its current orbital altitude, the enemy will not be able to intercept the Sirius. It is precisely because he gave the order to increase the orbital altitude that he gave the enemy a chance to intercept.
It is not impossible to maintain the current altitude, but in that case, you will have to wait for a while after arriving at the interception point. The enemy can use this time to change direction or take other evasive measures. By then, will the Sirius still have a chance to intercept the enemy?
But it’s hard to say.
Going around is also not feasible. Although the three are not in a straight line, they can't go anywhere. If the Sirius wants to intercept a fleet outside the country, it can't go around the enemy ships blocking the way.
Space interception does not mean that you can block the enemy by rushing to the interception point. The so-called interception point is not a fixed position, but a line parallel to the enemy's waterway!
In other words, the Sirius must arrive near the enemy's route at the right time, adjust its speed and direction to be consistent with the enemy's, and then use various strike methods to destroy or delay the enemy's forces, ultimately achieving delay or other combat purposes.
There are so many enemy ships. If the interception altitude is too low, even if the Sirius arrives at the interception point in time, there will not be enough time to destroy the enemy ships. Therefore, the altitude of the Sirius is very important. This is the main reason why Duan Zhiyang insists on raising the altitude.
.
After thinking again and again, Duan Zhiyang made a sudden decision and ordered the battleship to maintain its current direction, but to slightly reduce its speed.
The current speed of Sirius has more than doubled the design speed, but the super engine has not yet reached its limit...perhaps, this can be used!
Duan Zhiyang made a decision in his mind, but the distance between the Sirius and the alien fleet was too far, and it would not be able to catch fire for a while. It would take about two hours to encounter the alien interception fleet.
The battle situation was temporarily deadlocked. After more than forty minutes, aerial fighters from Beiyue Continent approached the intercepted insect swarm.
In order to get through to the aircraft carrier, the aircraft fleet has launched several batches of missiles at the insect swarm, including conventional air-to-air missiles, nuclear bombs of various yields, and even dozens of super nuclear bombs, but the insect swarm is blocking the front of the aircraft fleet.
They would rather suffer huge casualties than give in.
The aircraft group tried to bypass the insect swarm, but no matter which direction the aircraft group flew in, the insect swarm would immediately approach it, leaving no chance for the aircraft group.
Before the war, every pilot had written a suicide note, and everyone was prepared to sacrifice. They could fly their fighter planes into the insect swarm, even if they died together with the giant insects blocking the way.
But the order from the superiors is to intercept a fleet outside the country. Not to mention fighter planes, even missiles cannot penetrate the insect swarm. Forcibly attacking the insect swarm will only lead to encirclement, and the possibility of penetrating the insect swarm is extremely small.
Even if you do get through, you will still have to face the pursuit of the insect swarm. Unless a miracle occurs, the chance of survival is infinitely close to zero.
In the past, it was said that only by preserving oneself could one destroy the enemy, but now one had to cross the insect swarm to intercept the enemy's fleet. In desperation, the fleet could only continue to fight with the insect swarm, watching helplessly as the fleet flew further and further away.
Time passed slowly while waiting. At 16:56, the interceptor fleet from the Second Turkish Foreign Fleet arrived at the predetermined position. It began to reduce its speed and changed from dive to level flight. More than a hundred warships surrounded the sky in an extremely sparse formation.
Near the Wolf's channel, all the alien warships then turned 180 degrees, facing forward and backward, aiming at the Sirius behind.
It won't be long before the Sirius will enter the range of the alien battleships, and will be surrounded by more than a hundred battleships.
The situation looked extremely unfavorable to the Sirius, but Duan Zhiyang calmly showed a sneer: "Fire the super cannon, hit me hard!"
After giving an order, the thick hull of the Sirius slowly opened, revealing the densely packed laser emitters under the hull. Next, they opened fire one by one in order from No. 1 to No. 5.
The aliens never imagined that humans could actually install five sets of super gun arrays on a single battleship, but in one shot, the Sirius killed seven enemy ships.
Unfortunately, the charging time of the super artillery array is relatively long. After a round of shooting, you have to wait for a short while before you can continue to fire.
Realizing the terrifying nature of the Sirius, the aliens changed their previous tactics and no longer waited for the Sirius to get into the encirclement. Instead, they took the initiative and accelerated towards the Sirius.
The Sirius's speed continued unabated, and its super cannon opened fire again, harvesting several more enemy ships.
The speed of both sides is not slow. The Sirius will enter the enemy ship's range in a short while, and the third round of shooting seems to be a little too late.
Duan Zhiyang did not insist and ordered to fire smoke bombs. After the smoke screen dispersed, he launched several missiles. On the surface, he was using missiles to disrupt the enemy. In fact, he was quietly accelerating under the cover of the smoke screen!
The current speed is not the limit of the Sirius. If it were not for deliberately lowering the speed, I am afraid that the Sirius would have already arrived at the interception point!
From an alien's perspective, the Sirius was first surrounded by a smoke screen, and then dozens of missiles flew out of the smoke screen. The alien fleet immediately set out to intercept the incoming missiles, but before the incoming missiles could be destroyed, the Sirius had already emerged from the smoke screen.
