Ling Yu immediately stopped the cheers on the bridge, pointed at the screen and stared at Wang Tianyu with piercing eyes: "Chief of Staff, now is not the time to be happy. You must decide whether to fight or withdraw before the enemy arrives."
Wang Tianyu turned to look at Duan Jingwen: "Jingwen, what do you think?"
"It's hard to say." Duan Jingwen replied cautiously, "I just took advantage of a sneak attack and attacked from the front..." At this point, he shook his head.
Wang Tianyu looked back at Ling Yu: "Commander, the advantage is in our hands now. It is hard to say whether there will be such an opportunity in the future. Now is the key to breaking the situation. We must make a decisive choice."
Ling Yu's eyebrows were almost twisted into twists. He weighed the options in his mind and finally made up his mind: "Duan Jingwen!"
"arrive!"
"Order the first and second regiments to prepare for an assault and launch smoke screens to cover the fleet!"
"yes!"
"Wang Tianyu!"
"arrive!"
"Order the fleet to prepare for assault. Carrier-based aircraft are the main force, and warships cannot be idle. The assault time will be slightly later than that of fighter planes."
"yes!"
"Also, spread out all the drones to provide cover for the fleet... Set a channel for me, I want to talk directly to the fleet!"
"yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Ling Yu suddenly stopped, "The call is canceled and will be broadcast directly to the entire fleet."
"yes!"
The Third Fleet immediately took action. The Nanzhou fired three waves of smoke bombs forward, almost emptying all the stored bombs. The fleet also fired out the smoke bombs it carried. Suddenly, dark clouds were everywhere on the battlefield, and they were hundreds or thousands of meters in size.
, the small one is only a hundred or ten meters.
The smoke screen is black, and the background of the universe is also black. If the smoke screen hadn't blocked the starlight behind it, it's hard to say whether the aliens could have found the smoke screen.
More than seventy heavy fighter planes quickly got into the smoke screen, and then shuttled up and down between the smoke screens, either in small groups or alone, each looking for a hiding spot to sleep.
The fleet also released drones as soon as it received the order. Drones are considered to be the scouts of the battleships, so each battleship carries a lot of them. Together, they have several more than heavy-duty fighters.
The length of the drone is only a little over thirty meters, which is nine meters shorter than the heavy fighter aircraft. However, except for its smaller size, there is basically no difference in other aspects... It would be strange if there is a difference. The two aircraft are originally designed by the same team, aren't they?
Twins are also brothers, can they look alike?
In order to attract the attention of the aliens, only half of the drones disappeared into the smoke screen, while the remaining thirty or so were flying around in a show of force. The flight trajectory of each drone was different. Do you want to form a formation or cooperate?
In cooperation, if the carrier-based aircraft are regular troops, the drones behave like a group of gangsters.
Space battles are unobstructed, somewhat similar to ancient cavalry hedging. Perfect formations and close cooperation can indeed increase a certain degree of combat effectiveness. The drones swarm in a chaotic manner. At first glance, they are not even amateur level, but the aliens are no longer
No fool would believe that humans would make such a low-level mistake. In addition, the carrier-based air fleet had just killed more than a dozen ice ships, and the alien fleet responsible for intercepting them immediately became alert.
More than a hundred alien warships immediately reduced their forces, gave up blocking the third fleet, and tried their best to deal with the incoming drones. Even the fleet that had been separated before was withdrawn.
The drone flew back and forth between the dark clouds, with high speed and high power. The flight trajectories were crisscrossed and intertwined with various coordination. Not to mention aliens who had never seen this before, even our own people behind.
It was also dazzling to see.
The aliens don't care at all how many things the drone flies. They only focus on one thing, and that is whether it enters the range of the fine light. It doesn't matter whether it enters the range or not. Once it enters the range, countless fine lights will immediately
Covering the entire field of vision, no matter the drones or dark clouds, they were repeatedly swept by the thin light. The two drones flying in the front were directly trapped by the encircling grating, and were chopped into pieces on the spot by the interlaced thin light.
The fuel in the fuel tank mixed and volatilized rapidly in the vacuum, and when it came into contact with the burning tail flame, it immediately exploded into a dazzling and silent flame.
If those planes in the previous group had not shut down their engines in advance, they might have exploded into a ball of flames.
Before the flames dissipated, another drone passed through the flames and rushed towards the alien warship like an eagle pouncing on its prey.
Then came the second one, the third... more than thirty drones rushed into the range of the thin light in one breath. The alien warship immediately opened fire with all its strength, and countless thin lights chased the drones and flew up and down.
In the blink of an eye, three more drones were hit by the thin light.
Because the flying directions of the drones were different, Xiaoguang only focused on chasing the drones. The tightly coordinated grating before did not appear anymore, and was replaced by small-scale cooperation between several ice ships.
However, drones are not so easy to catch. They are like the slipperiest loaches, slipping away time and time again between fingers made of thin light.
The maneuvering flight of the drone is not controlled by humans, but is automatically executed by the flight control system after setting the target.
The response speed of the drone controlled by the flight control system is extremely fast, and the flight overload is much higher than that of manned aircraft. As long as the strength of the aircraft can withstand it, it can fly through twenty or thirty G's of overload easily and happily.
If it had been a manned aircraft that had burrowed into the aliens' fire net, it would have taken so long to lose more than half of the army, even if it hadn't been annihilated.
However, drones are not without their shortcomings. The biggest flaw of this thing is that it is too rigid and not as flexible as manned aircraft.
Seeing the drones flying through the dense thin light, Ling Yu made a quick decision and ordered all the remaining thirty or so drones to attack.
As the follow-up fleet moved forward, the first wave of missiles also flew into the fire range of the alien fleet.
In the other direction, the first and second aviation regiments rushed towards the alien fleet from two directions, and the distance between the two sides was not far. It only took a short time for the fleet to arrive at the battlefield.
The alien reinforcements from Io will take about ten minutes to arrive. The third fleet is fighting for this time difference. If it can eat the alien fleet that came out before the enemy reinforcements arrive, the third fleet can
Get the results and calmly withdraw from the battlefield, otherwise you will have to withdraw from the battle in a hurry, and if things go wrong, you will have to let the alien fleet chase you.
Of course, staying and risking one's life is also an option, but Ling Yu will definitely not mess with the safety of the fleet unless it is absolutely necessary.
This is not just a question of whether the fleet or the crew take risks, but a matter of being outnumbered. This fleet simply does not have the capital to fight hard. If all the third fleet is wiped out, a series of subsequent arrangements in Beidu will be affected.
No one can take that responsibility.
The first group of drones is getting closer and closer to the enemy ship. As the distance shortens, the hit rate of the thin light becomes higher and higher. Every time the drone explodes, Ling Yu's pupils will shrink slightly.
