Two days later, the Second Fleet entered the orbit around Jupiter. The fleet was located more than 2.4 million kilometers away from Jupiter. There was no sign of continuing to approach Jupiter, and the alien fleet had no intention of launching an interception.
Two hours later, the four-kilometer-diameter Europa 28 flew close to the fleet, and the Kunlun immediately took off two heavy-duty aerospace fighters to conduct an interception operation.
After the two fighter planes flew close to the target, they fired missiles at Europa at a distance of about five kilometers from the target.
The four missiles seemed to be moving slowly, flying towards the target in a snake-shaped trajectory. The missile's engine only needed to work for a short while when changing direction, and then immediately extinguished after the change of direction. Ten seconds later, the first missile hit the small satellite, which was full of power.
The nuclear explosion immediately shattered half of Europa 28.
The next few missiles hit one by one, completely dismembering the small satellite. The largest fragments were only twenty or thirty meters in size. The faster fragments continued to fly around Jupiter, and the slower ones gradually fell towards Jupiter. There were also some
The fragments gained enough speed and slowly separated from Jupiter.
This kind of mission has no technical content, but the successful destruction of Europa still makes the fleet excited.
Although the fleet decided to blow up all the small satellites, small satellites are everywhere, and chasing small satellites is very troublesome and uneconomical. Therefore, the fleet only blows up the small satellites that are close to it, and the small satellites in other directions are temporarily destroyed.
Stay as is.
The aliens never expected that the human fleet that arrived again would not attack Europa, but instead stay away from Jupiter and bombard small satellites all day long.
But soon the aliens came to their senses and realized the significance of what the human fleet was doing, so the aliens immediately organized a fleet and prepared to intercept the second fleet.
Gao Kai didn't bother with the aliens at all. After discovering signs of assembly of the alien fleet outside Europa, he simply led the fleet to change its orbit and fly to a higher and farther orbit to avoid the alien fleet's edge.
As soon as the alien fleet flew away from Jupiter, the expedition fleet appeared to be running away. The alien fleet that had just set off had to suspend its operations and return to Jupiter to stand by.
It’s not that the aliens are kind-hearted, but the straight-line distance between Io and the Second Fleet exceeds two million kilometers. By the time the alien fleet flies over this distance, the expedition fleet will have already moved far away.
The aliens also want to use their scattered fleets to raid the expedition fleet. Unfortunately, there is no obstruction in space. No matter where the aliens assemble their fleets, the expedition fleet can detect them immediately and take targeted and reasonable countermeasures.
Although the expedition fleet failed to achieve any tangible results, it always firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield.
That is to say, the battleships of the Second Fleet have been completely renovated and have enough supplies. Otherwise, they will run out of supplies before anything happens. At that time, the fleet will have to withdraw to the earth, turning a good combat plan into a pile of waste paper.
After patiently blowing up all the small satellites in the periphery, the expedition fleet finally began to lower its altitude and continue bombing the small satellites.
The aliens were completely outraged and began to dispatch their fleets outside, concentrating on several satellites at the same altitude of the expedition fleet and waiting there.
Upon seeing this, Gao Kai immediately changed his tactics and continued to change orbit downwards, looking for fighter planes to blow up more small satellites.
Once the alien fleet is discovered to be approaching, the second fleet will immediately withdraw, never giving the aliens any chance.
The retreat of the Second Fleet gave the aliens the illusion that this fleet was not here to fight, but specifically to cause destruction.
More and more small satellites were lost in the hands of the expeditionary force, and there were indeed alien warships hidden in some of the satellites. On several occasions, they were almost caught by the hidden alien fleet.
Fortunately, Gao Kai was cautious and sent fighter planes to carry out the destruction mission every time. The battleships hid far away. The alien ambush had no effect. On the contrary, the missiles launched by the fighter planes killed two alien battleships.
Gao Kai gave up when he saw the situation was good, and immediately ordered the fighter planes to withdraw and the fleet to stay away.
But why should we always avoid fighting? After some careful consideration, Gao Kai changed his battle plan and began to actively seek fighter opportunities.
The first step to change was to paralyze the aliens. To this end, Gao Kai took the initiative to divide his forces and dispersed the escort warships to bomb the small satellites. The Kunlun acted alone and looked for trouble on the small satellites.
About a week later, the Kunlun had just destroyed Europa 24 with seven shells, and a nearby enemy force consisting of eight alien warships surrounded the Kunlun.
However, the Kunlun did not speed up to get rid of the enemy, but used an appropriate speed to hang the opponent.
Finally seizing an opportunity, the alien fleet immediately seized the Kunlun and notified friendly forces to pursue and intercept it.
This move played into the Kunlun's plan, deliberately slowing down to lure the alien fleet. However, the aliens did not give it in vain and always kept a safe distance from the Kunlun, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
Gao Kai was extremely helpless about this and wished he could turn the battleship around and fly back to give the aliens a lesson.
A small amount of intolerance will ruin a big plan. No matter how unhappy you feel, you must endure it.
However, both the enemy and ourselves know that this situation will not last long.
A few days later, the expeditionary force attacked again, this time the target was Jupiter, which is 28 kilometers in diameter.
The battleship parked in the distance as usual, and the two fighter planes flew away from the battleship and flew cautiously towards the target. Before the target was within range, the two fighters suddenly received a distress signal at the same time!
This set of signals was intermittent and very weak. The two fighters immediately separated in tacit understanding and used triangulation to determine the direction of the signal source. The results showed that the signal source was above the target!
This discovery was so unexpected that the two pilots reported the situation immediately. Gao Kai was shocked when he received the news.
Receiving a distress signal at this time and place, this coincidence is too outrageous?
However, Gao Kai still ordered the attacking fighters to suspend their mission. On the one hand, he ordered the observation department to closely monitor the movements on the target and try their best to find the source of the signal. On the other hand, he found Ye Han and asked about the combat situation of the First Fleet. He wanted to know whether there were any spacecraft at that time.
He was left nearby and could not make his way home.
Ye Han immediately thought of the Luwan that crashed into Jupiter. The crew of the Luwan had already evacuated at that time. Don't think about the fighter planes and lifeboats that had left the Luwan. If one of the aircraft flew to Jupiter,
An emergency landing on Wei Twelve... This possibility does exist.
But Ye Han didn't know much and couldn't prove anything.
Gao Kai thought for a while and thought that it was impossible for aliens to master the use of human aircraft so quickly. Even if they did, they would not know that this repeatedly played thing was a distress signal.
Gao Kai was worried and ordered the fighter planes to determine the signal position as soon as possible. At the same time, he issued an order to summon marines to prepare to land on Europa... Friends who are reading, you can search "" to get the first
