No matter how much Ye Han felt unwilling to do so, he could only bury it deeply in his heart. What made him unable to let go was that he personally left all the wounded at Europa.
Although he also knew that this was the best choice, whether he knew it or not was one thing, but whether he could think about it in his heart was another matter.
That door cuts off far more than just sight.
Swift 3 was completely shattered in the explosion, and the casualty defense line only lasted a few minutes before being breached by aliens. Countless aliens flooded towards the Yushan.
Lin Yi broke out in a cold sweat. As soon as the cabin door was closed, he immediately started the rocket: "Everyone, sit down, let's take off!" There was no time to find seats, so everyone immediately lay on the ground.
A ball of flame suddenly exploded from the bottom of the high-erected rocket, and the flames immediately turned into a gushing stream of flames. The flames burned the ice surface, and the solidified ice surface quickly melted and boiled, eventually turning into steam that spread in all directions.
At the same time, the Yushan shot out all the remaining smoke bombs. The smoke and water mist were mixed together and blown away by the air flow brought by the flames.
The aliens who broke through the defense line rushed towards the rocket with all their strength. The two rapid-fire cannons on the landing section opened fire with all their strength. The dense bullets were like two flaming whips. After splitting the fog, they fiercely swept towards the attacking aliens. Large-caliber bullets
Flying towards aliens with deadly kinetic energy, as long as they are hit by bullets, they will be seriously injured even if they are not killed.
However, the aliens ignored it and concentrated on dealing with the rocket. Countless mercerized lights hit the rocket, but the power of the mercerized light was weakened by the smoke screen and could not hurt the rocket at all.
The rocket finally broke away from the launch pad driven by the tail flame, slowly rising upwards, and flying faster and faster as it went upwards. At this time, the aliens had already rushed into the smoke screen.
The smoke bomb was still releasing thick smoke, but the strong airflow during takeoff blew away the smoke screen, and the aliens raised their arms and prepared to shoot at the rocket.
At this juncture, dozens of laser beams from the orbital cabin fell from the sky, sweeping away the aliens near the rocket.
A little further away, countless artillery shells fell from the sky. Layers of barrages plowed a death passage among the aliens. After a while, several missiles fell from the sky. Wherever the cluster warheads landed, there was scorched earth.
The rocket soared into the sky, with countless explosions below. Some persistent aliens flapped their wings and flew high, chasing the rocket as it flew higher and higher, but their speed was too slow and they were destined to return without success.
The soldiers in the spacecraft were experiencing greater and greater acceleration, and each of them felt like a mountain was pressing on them.
The rocket flew higher and higher, and Lin Yi shouted under the pressure: "Nanzhou and Yushan left the ground and reached low-altitude orbit in two minutes!"
"Nanzhou understands and will leave as soon as possible after docking."
"clear!"
Although the rocket is still in the ascending stage and the soldiers are still under great pressure, everyone feels much more relaxed.
The first stage of the rocket separated successfully, the second stage was successfully ignited, and two minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The spacecraft successfully left the atmosphere and entered weightless outer space.
It only took two minutes for the spacecraft to lift off, but it took five minutes to dock with the remaining orbit section. After entering the Yushan, Lin Yi rushed to the bridge as soon as possible and steered the spacecraft away from Europa.
Ye Han and the soldiers who had managed to escape were lying on the portholes, watching Europa with extremely complex eyes, watching it getting further and further away.
At this time, the Third Fleet also gradually withdrew from the battle, breaking away from the entanglement of the alien fleet.
The official battle between the two sides did not last long, but the enemy was strong and we were weak. The Third Fleet, which only had a dozen warships, lost five warships, and the remaining ships were injured. The ammunition was also consumed, and the combat power was left at most two.
become.
When the carrier-based aircraft withdrew from the battle, there were only a dozen or so aircraft left. Counting all the aircraft left near the Yushan, the aviation force on the Nanzhou was completely disabled.
After getting rid of the entanglement of the aliens, Ling Yu was stunned for a while. His only feeling was that it was not worth it and that the sacrifices he had made for this battle were not worth it.
Although the battle is over, there is still a lot of follow-up work for this battle. Leaders including Ling Yu are struggling with various post-war reports and summaries - no matter how you look at it, this battle is related to victory.
It doesn't matter, if the aliens hadn't gone underground again, the Third Fleet's report would have been even worse.
When the battle reached this point, the Third Fleet no longer had the ability to continue its mission. Ling Yu immediately reported the situation to Beidu. On the one hand, he requested to return, and on the other hand, he notified Beidu to form the Third Fleet.
The Yushan stayed away from Jupiter and opened a safe distance before turning around and joining the main force.
This is not the end yet. Ye Han immediately wants to communicate with the Nanzhou and request the fleet to bomb the ice sheet. The reason is that he would rather destroy the remains of the martyrs left on Europa than let the remains fall into the hands of aliens.
Ling Yu only considered it for three seconds before agreeing to Ye Han's request, so the fleet launched four nuclear bombs towards the location of Swift 3.
The aliens had no interest in intercepting them at all, and allowed the nuclear bomb to fall on the ice, and everything related to humans was reduced to ashes in the nuclear explosion.
There are also nuclear bombs placed under the ice. Although these nuclear bombs are waterproofed, the detonation device of the nuclear bomb must work on a battery, and the battery has a limited discharge time and must be detonated before the battery stops working.
Judging from the environment of Europa, the battery on the nuclear bomb can only last seven to ten days.
Ling Yu was once again entangled.
If aliens raise the planetary engine, the possibility of destroying the planetary engine by a nuclear bomb under the ice is very high. On the contrary, even if the nuclear bomb is detonated, the possibility of destroying the planetary engine is very small.
At present, all the aliens are hiding underground, and even the alien spacecraft has not shown up. The possibility of re-raising the planetary engine is almost zero.
However, neither Ling Yu nor Beidu wanted the Marines to die in vain, so Beidu ordered the third fleet to stay near Jupiter Zero. If there was still no chance after seven days, then detonate the nuclear bomb and return, leaving the next work to the third fleet.
Four fleets.
No matter Ling Yu or Ye Han, they didn't know how strong the shock caused by the failure of the Third Fleet. Beidu conducted dozens of battle analysis alone, breaking the entire battle process apart and then crushing it into pieces, almost in one go.
Study the battle records frame by frame and carefully study the gains and losses of this battle.
The Fourth Fleet is also making intense preparations, but the departure time has not yet been determined. However, Beidu's opinion is to make the trip as soon as possible, and the mission of the expedition fleet this time is not to attack by force, but to stay near Europa Zero and wait for opportunistic actions!
Io's current speed is very fast, with a relative speed of nearly 80 kilometers per second, which is more than twice the Earth's revolution speed. This speed is too fast. Io must slow down before reaching the Earth, otherwise it will definitely miss the Earth.
And passed.
The mission of the Fourth Fleet is to wait for the planetary engine to rise again.
