There are fewer and fewer missiles, and more and more thin lights are cutting towards the aircraft group. The aliens seem to regard the fighter planes as missiles, and they want to attack them quickly, and the thin lights continue to sweep around the fighter planes.
The thin light so close at hand made all the pilots tense up. The originally neat formation had ceased to exist due to continuous tactical evasions. Every fighter plane tried its best to avoid the thin light, but the outstanding performance of the pilots instead caused a stir outside.
With the attention of the stars, more and more thin lights joined the encirclement and suppression ranks. Fighters continued to fall, and the situation of the fleet became more and more critical.
Gao Kai's eyes suddenly turned red and he anxiously ordered the fleet to fire another round of missiles.
At this time, he no longer cared about wasting anything, he just wanted to save the fleet first.
An uncontrollable thought came to his mind: Aren't aerospace fighter planes the way to deal with aliens?
If the Second Fleet fails, what will happen to him as the fleet commander?
Gao Kai didn't dare to think about it anymore and forced himself to focus on the battle that was about to begin.
The first batch of shells finally broke through the alien defense network. When Callisto stopped, the flames shot into the sky, and the dazzling nuclear light came one after another. Even though there was a layer of screen, Gao Kai felt like he couldn't open his eyes.
.
The aliens' attention seemed to be attracted by the nuclear explosion, and the firepower density immediately dropped by one level, and the situation of the fleet immediately improved a lot.
At this time, the second round of shells hit the target, and only a very small part hit Callisto. More shells targeted the alien battleship, but the alien battleship was always in motion, and most of the shells missed. Only
A shell accidentally hit the passenger car and hit an alien spacecraft.
The yield of the shell was not high, but it was more than enough to destroy an alien warship. The dazzling nuclear explosion immediately disrupted the alien fleet. All the alien warships became restless, and their originally regular maneuvering methods immediately became irregular.
It can be seen that even the flight mode has been changed to variable speed flight.
The hit rate of artillery shells was already horribly low, and as a result, it dropped to freezing point, with several consecutive waves of artillery shells failing to hit any target.
The blind cat that kills the mouse depends on luck.
The dual maneuvers of the alien fleet and the aircraft fleet caused the hit rate of Xiaoguang to be greatly reduced. Coupled with the arrival of the second round of missiles, the situation of the aircraft fleet was fundamentally improved. The aircraft fleet accelerated with all its strength with the help of the fleet's fire cover.
In order to cover the fleet, Gao Kai ordered the fleet to move forward, using all firepower, including useless laser cannons.
The laser cannons of the First Fleet played no role in the battle, which was the main reason why the Second Fleet withdrew its laser cannons. However, a small number of laser cannons were still retained on each ship, and they were improved models with enhanced power.
However, the Second Fleet is not very optimistic about this thing from top to bottom, so it has never used laser cannons in battles. Now it needs this kind of cheap firepower to attract the attention of aliens, and just use it to disturb the aliens.
attention.
The laser cannon hit four enemy ships in the first round. Although none of them caused fatal damage, it was still much better than not being able to touch the sides of the alien warships.
The situation on the battlefield was fed back to Gao Kai, and he suddenly had some ideas: artillery shells and missiles were powerful but their hit rate was too poor, so they had to close the distance to have the final say; the laser cannon was not low in power, but it had no impact on alien warships.
However, its lethality is relatively low, and it is suitable for disrupting the enemy's sight and long-range artillery battles!
If the gunboat is properly equipped with weapons, using lasers for long-range attacks and artillery missiles for close combat seems to be a good choice.
At this time, the fleet is still not close to the alien fleet, but nearly half of the fighter planes have been lost. If the speed had not exceeded two thousand meters per second, the number of fighter planes lost would have been even more!
You must know that this is not the earth. It is not only the fighter planes that have been lost. After the fighter planes are damaged, the pilots on them will continue to fly at the same speed and direction regardless of life or death. By the time the battle is over, those pilots will no longer know where they are flying.
The cost of training pilots is more expensive than that of fighter jets. The military has long proposed a remote-controlled drone program, but it was only because the electromagnetic interference near Jupiter was too severe that it could not be implemented on the Kunlun and Penglai.
It seems like a good idea to save people while fighting, but the lifeboats are large and slow, making them a perfect target for cannons. The aliens don't understand what humanitarianism is. Sending out lifeboats is no different than seeking death.
The battle continued, and after several rounds of laser fire, everyone realized that the power of the improved laser cannon was still too small, and the damage to alien warships was also not high.
Gao Kai ordered the fleet to focus fire. The ten warships were divided into two groups. Five warships shot at an enemy ship at the same time. The power of more than ten or twenty lasers was superimposed, and finally exceeded the defense limit of the alien warship. The beam penetrated the enemy ship and destroyed it.
The alien battleship was completely destroyed.
At the same time, the fleet finally broke through the alien fleet's defense network. Nearly seventy fighter planes approached the enemy ship at high speed and launched all the missiles carried by the fighter planes in time before they passed the alien warship.
The speed of the fighter plane is close to three kilometers per second. With the speed bonus of the fighter plane, the initial speed of the missile is no less than that of the artillery shell. The aliens did not have time to react before they were hit by the missiles launched by the fighter plane, and explosions occurred one after another near Callisto.
More than a dozen clusters of nuclear light.
"Successful!" Gao Kai suddenly clenched his fists.
Facts have proved that aviation is still the strongest means in fleet operations. The aircraft fleet that successfully penetrated the defense was like the Monkey King that got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan, attacking everywhere. The alien fleet lost one-third at a speed visible to the naked eye.
.
At the critical moment, the aliens were not unambiguous. They withdrew some of their interception fire and swept it towards the fleet. Even if they accidentally damaged friendly ships, they did not care about it. Several fighters were unable to avoid it and were drowned by the dense thin light. If other fighters were not fast enough, they would probably be killed.
It is impossible to escape the fate of destruction.
The fighter plane did not slow down from the beginning to the end, and quickly passed the alien fleet. The contact time with the alien fleet was only ten seconds, but the damage caused made the aliens feel heartache.
When the battle reached this point, the aliens also realized the shortcomings of only defending but not attacking. The remaining battleships divided into several groups and pursued the expedition fleet from different directions. They rushed while pouring firepower on the expedition fleet and engaged in airspace.
There were tiny lights flying everywhere, and the expedition fleet's counterattack firepower was completely drowned in the light rain, as if the light rain could wipe out the expedition fleet in the next second.
Gao Kai, who had achieved his combat goal, did not want to tangle with the enemy, so he ordered the fleet to fight and retreat, preparing to shake off the alien fleet and then circle around to meet the aircraft group.
The aircraft fleet turned around in time after passing over Callisto, but instead of turning back to join the mothership, they avoided the alien fleet and flew to other directions to wait for the fleet.
