The alien fleet took off from different satellites in different directions. Faced with a large number of alien warships, Yan Jing had a huge headache.
Each alien fleet has no less than ten warships. The expedition fleet only has four warships in total and is divided into one, two or two detachments. How to fight this battle?
The only good news is that all alien battleships are ice-white, and the materials should be consistent with the alien spacecraft encountered before, and the defensive power of this material is not even satisfactory.
Maybe there is a chance to win?
Yan Jing couldn't help but fall into deep thinking. He hoped to come up with a solution to the dilemma. However, the expedition fleet was mankind's first real space fleet. There were no combat examples to refer to, and naval and land battles were difficult to achieve in space.
There are very few battle examples that can be used for reference.
After thinking about it, Yan Jing couldn't think of any suitable tactics.
The alien fleet is spread out in layers. If we are outnumbered and we fight against the enemy head-on, we are looking for death. It is even more impossible to bypass the enemy's layers of obstruction and fly to Jupiter. For the current plan, we can only hurt the aliens as much as possible.
, thus attracting the attention of the alien fleet and facilitating a sneak attack by the second squadron.
Yan Jing made up his mind, gritted his teeth and ordered a detachment to maneuver to the upper left. There was a fleet of more than a dozen alien warships there. Yan Jing planned to eat this enemy force before other alien fleets arrived.
Indecision is the most taboo thing on the battlefield. Even the worst decision is much better than wavering. Therefore, after Yan Jing made up his mind, he no longer thought about anything else and only thought about how to defeat this enemy.
Yan Jing looked calm and composed, but in fact he was beating a drum in his heart.
As the saying goes, you must judge defeat before victory. No one on the human side knows the strength of aliens. The two battleships just rushed forward. Maybe the alien battleships didn’t even lose a single paint mark. These two battleships
Let the aliens sink it.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened, and there were still more than two thousand kilometers away. Yan Jing couldn't bear it anymore and ordered categorically: "Attention of the first team, turrets No. 1 to 10 are fully open, focus their fire!"
Wang Xiaolei's eyes widened: "Commander, we haven't entered the effective range yet."
"I have eyes!"
Wang Xiaolei quickly shut up. The artillery crew that received the order no longer hesitated. The twenty turrets of the two warships opened fire at the same time. The laser beam invisible to the naked eye crossed the void of more than two thousand kilometers and hit the two enemy ships instantly.
Two thin clouds of smoke quickly rose from the bullet, like two lime bags that had been hit hard by a stick.
The laser cannon is not without power after it exceeds its effective range, but the beam spreads too much and lacks power, making it difficult to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
However, under the premise of concentrating firepower, it is not impossible to damage enemy ships.
Yan Jing felt secretly happy when he saw it: "Go on, beat me hard!"
The first squadron fired another salvo, and three more enemy ships were hit. However, the five enemy ships hit by the laser were all slightly damaged, and their maneuverability was not affected at all.
If it weren't for the smoke rising from the surface of the enemy ship, the first team would not even be able to find any other evidence to determine a hit.
The laser cannon failed to achieve success. Yan Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately gritted his teeth and ordered: "Prepare the missile, fire as soon as it enters the range."
"Report, the enemy ship is retreating, direction 025, altitude 358!"
Wang Xiaolei shouted: "They want to run!" There happened to be another alien fleet in the direction of the enemy's retreat. This alien warship obviously wanted to join the friendly forces.
Yan Jing frowned, and there was a fierce battle in his mind, trying to judge the enemy's intentions.
Although the first detachment hit several enemy ships, the strength of the enemy fleet was not damaged. Why did they retreat in a hurry without firing a single bomb?
The retreating alien warship always kept its bow facing the first squadron and did not leave the fragile stern to the first squadron. It was obviously an orderly retreat.
With the strength of the aliens, it is very likely that they choose to retreat proactively when they know they are losing. It is more likely that they are playing hard to get and using the method of showing weakness to lure the enemy deeper!
If that's the case, don't blame me for taking advantage of the situation!
Thinking of this, Yan Jing asked in a deep voice: "Are the missiles ready?"
"Ready."
"Are you within missile range?"
"No."
Yan Jing said flatly: "Inertial guidance, destroying one ship is a nuclear bomb."
"Yes, four-shot inertial guidance, ready to fire!"
At the command, the missile vertical launch module located under the belly of the ship suddenly bounced away, and four missiles rushed out of the ship. After flying more than a hundred meters away from the warship, they suddenly turned more than 90 degrees, and then the tail of the missile
The flame suddenly extinguished, and the missile continued to fly forward under the influence of inertia.
The Luwan, which fell not far behind the Hongwan, also launched four missiles, all of which were equipped with nuclear warheads.
The bombardment continued, and the dozen or so alien warships were like a dozen lime bags that were constantly being beaten, constantly emitting plumes of smoke, but no matter how many lasers they were hit by, there was no sign of sinking.
Yan Jing became more and more convinced that the enemy was using tactics to lure them deeper. He pinned all his hopes on those missiles. In order to create a chance for the missiles to hit, he had to keep shooting to attract the attention of the enemy ships. Otherwise, he might have ordered
The fleet avoids the enemy.
However, an uneasy feeling still lingered tightly in Yan Jing's heart. He always felt that something bad was happening. He couldn't help but order again: "Two more rounds!"
"Yes, eight rounds of inertial guidance, ready to fire!"
The two warships fired sixteen missiles again, overtaking the warships and heading straight for the enemy.
Yan Jing prayed secretly and launched twenty-four heavy missiles carrying nuclear warheads in one go. If not a single target could be destroyed, there would be no need to continue this war.
The location where the missile is launched is about more than a thousand kilometers away from the enemy fleet, which will be enough for the effective range of the laser cannon. The flying speed of the missile is slightly faster than that of the first detachment. However, the expedition fleet has slowed down in order to get closer to Jupiter, and the speed of the missile is also
At more than fifty kilometers per second, it would take half a minute to fly across the gap between the two fleets.
But the alien fleet is retreating. Although the retreating speed is not as fast as the advancing speed of a squadron, it can lengthen the time for the missiles to chase the enemy ships!
That is to say, the space near Jupiter is large enough that the two enemy armies cannot get together for a while, otherwise Yan Jing would not dare to lead a detachment in pursuit.
Although the missiles with their engines turned off were concealed, they could not escape the eyes of the aliens. Half a minute later, the first batch of eight missiles gradually approached the alien fleet, and a stream of pale golden threads suddenly appeared from the top of the alien battleship.
Several missiles were hit by the light, and immediately exploded into a ball of flames. The flames expanded rapidly and dissipated suddenly, as if they had never appeared before.
