1571 Higgs Four
Planet Higgs 4, the space reconnaissance satellite of the Alan Hill Empire was activated by the radar reflection signal within the detection range. The red signal light began to flash, and a warning signal began to be sent to the entire nearby universe.
In the duty room of the ground monitoring station on the Higgs 4 planet, a drowsy clone duty sergeant was pushed awake by the robot assistant beside him.
He frowned and yawned and looked at the signal receiver, and then fell asleep immediately. He tore off the simple printed report from the device, and rushed out of the duty room like flying.
Less than a minute later, the entire base began to echo with tense alarm bells, and soldiers were running everywhere.
"Enemy fleet! Enemy fleet appears!" An officer handed the report to the general in the office, and reported nervously: "The intercepting warship is engaged in fierce battle with the enemy warship. Before the cruise fleet arrives, The enemy may invade our surface defense line!"
"Immediately deploy the air defense network! Take off the J-30 fighter jets to intercept all the opponent's targets entering the atmosphere!" The general was also a little nervous, and immediately issued an order to intercept the invading enemy troops.
"What does the Fifth Fleet say?" He paused, then looked at his subordinates, and asked.
"The Watcher Fleet came here to cover the squadron and is engaged in a fierce battle with the 5th Fleet. Although both sides have suffered heavy losses, the other side has no sign of retreating!" The officer who came to send the news replied immediately.
"Is it our turn? Order one-third of the air defense radar to turn on! Check all orbiting satellites and reconnaissance satellites!" The general snorted, and then issued another order.
"The opponent is destroying our orbital defense satellite! The unfinished automatic counterattack system is trying to destroy the enemy's aircraft entering low-Earth orbit!" An officer with a QR code printed on his forehead replied immediately.
In the universe, on the orbit close to the Higgs 4 planet, the hovering satellites are activated one by one, and then the attitude engine on the satellite ejects gas and starts to adjust the orientation of the satellite.
A few seconds later, the missiles fixed on these satellites were ignited and launched an attack on the Watchman landing ship passing by them.
"Boom!" A missile hit the Watchman landing spacecraft that was rushing into the atmosphere, causing the spacecraft to stagger into the atmosphere.
The friction with the air immediately made the surface of the spaceship red hot, and a few seconds later it exploded, scattered in the atmosphere, and turned into scattered meteors.
However, there are very few landing craft that are hit by missiles and are damaged and disturbed before entering the atmosphere.
Most of the spacecraft rushed directly into the atmosphere and began to fall towards the scheduled landing point.
The Airland Hill Empire air defense position that had been silent for a long time suddenly boiled up, one after another long-range air defense missiles soared into the sky, dragging a long tail flame, and rushed out of the vertical missile launch position.
After climbing to a certain height, these anti-aircraft missiles immediately began to adjust their attitude, and after making a big turn in the air, they rushed to the distant sky.
A few seconds later, these soaring anti-aircraft missiles collided with the falling meteors in the sky, bursting into clusters of fireworks in the sky.
The commander sitting on Higgs 4 had just walked into the busy headquarters when an officer walked up to him and reported to him: "Report! General! The enemy landing force has rushed into the atmosphere... the anti-aircraft missile force is Intercept!"
As he said, he handed the report to his superior: "I'm very sorry! There are too many enemy troops, so we can't intercept all the targets!"
"Is there any news from the Air Force?" Walking to the map table, the leading general cast his eyes on the surrounding staff officers. After scanning around, his gaze finally fell on the Air Force staff officer.
"The fighter force has already taken off..." The air force staff immediately stood at attention and saluted, and replied, "We will be able to rush to the enemy's landing site in a few minutes!"
When he answered this question, in the sky less than 200 kilometers away from the Watchman's landing point, at an altitude of 20,000 meters, a J-30 fighter jet took the lead, overlooking the sea of clouds below him.
"See those targets on the right? Try not to let them land!" The pilot with the new helmet sight ordered in a hoarse voice through the oxygen mask.
"Understood! I'm following you! I'm following you!" the wingman pilot replied over the radio, shaking the joystick in his hand slightly.
"Cut in from behind! See if you can take advantage of the other party's blind spot!" The pilot of the lead plane lightly flipped his joystick, and the J-30 fighter he was driving slid sideways and rushed to a long distance not far away. The target of a long comet tail.
"I locked the target!" A few seconds later, the pilot who had already set the target in the front sight of his sight used his thumb to lift the protective cover on the joystick.
"Launch missiles! Launch missiles!" The command voice of the lead plane was slightly disturbed by electric current, but it was still very clear.
"Huh!" A missile ignited immediately, dragging a long tail flame and rushing towards the target not far away. The new type of missile was extremely fast, and it directly hit the hull of the landing spaceship in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!" A huge explosion bloomed in the air, and the J-30 fighter jet that had just launched a missile flew past the flame edge of the explosion.
"The attack worked! The attack worked!" After seeing the result of the attack and confirming that the target disintegrated in the air and turned into countless flying fragments, the wingman pilot's slightly excited shout came from the radio.
"Bang!" At an altitude of nearly 30,000 meters, the shell of a Watcher's landing spacecraft suddenly burst open.
Inside the shattered shell, a neatly arranged Prowler fighter jet spread out like a cluster bomb, then ignited and started, roaring towards the J-30 fighter unit that was attacking the Guardian landing spacecraft.
Like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, these Guardian landing ships that entered the atmosphere broke apart one after another, and the Prowler fighter jets inside also dispersed, and then ignited and started, and the entire sky fell into chaos for a while.
"Enemy plane! Enemy plane!" Seeing a large number of radar reflection signals, the pilot of a J-30 fighter jet who was chasing and killing the watchmen landed on the spacecraft loudly reminded his comrades in the radio channel.
"Get ready for the battle! Pay attention to keep the altitude!" Seeing the Prowler fighter jets entering the battle circle, the lead pilot of a J-30 ordered by shaking the joystick.
Through the glass of the cockpit, the pilot who controlled the fighter jet in a large circle finally saw the prowlers who had entered the battlefield at the other end.
"Use missiles to disrupt the enemy's formation! Force them to disperse!" The leading commander calmly issued an order.
In the next second, the white tail smoke of the densely packed missiles in the sky, like a fishing net, enveloped the entire theater.
A Prowler deftly dodged the oncoming missile, then collided head-on with another missile, which exploded and shattered into flames.
Another Prowler charged past the incoming missile and missed a J-30 fighter jet. Then it turned immediately, turned a somersault in the air, and started strafing the J-30 fighter jets going away.
One after another, the black energy clusters arced in the air and flew towards the distant target, but were narrowly avoided by the J-30 fighter jets who were also doing the same evasive action.
At the same time, the figure of the Prowler fighter was also inserted into the front sight of the sight, and a J-30 fighter was chasing after it, and the pilot pulled the trigger to fire.
"Thuk Thu!" There was a short shooting sound, and a series of tracer bullets drew a straight trajectory in the air. The initial velocity of the ammunition of the electromagnetic machine gun is amazing, and the ballistic performance is obviously better.
The speed of these ammunition was extremely fast, and after they left a flash of light, they passed through the Prowler fighter jet in the front sight.
In the next second, the Prowler fighter jet that was pierced by the shell exploded, and fragments were scattered everywhere.
After achieving the results of the attack, the J-30 immediately deviated from the original flight route, and while rapidly climbing the altitude, it was looking for a new attack target.
Not far from the battlefield, a Guardian's landing craft landed on the ground, and the moment the hatch opened, countless sweepers rushed out.
Behind them, there are countless sweepers rushing out from their spaceships. Above their heads, the explosion of the prowler that was shot down and destroyed was intertwined with the comet tail drawn by the subsequent landed spacecraft, forming a single piece.
"According to the satellite pictures at the scene, it seems that some of the enemy troops have successfully landed." In the headquarters, an officer reported to his chief.
"The number of enemy troops...how much is it expected?" the leading general asked.
"It's impossible to judge. The landing force is probably between thousands and tens of thousands...but then they may reproduce." The officer replied immediately.
"Report the situation here to General Medias and Mordelaire as soon as possible..." The general ordered: "How long will it take for the spaceship to send construction and technical personnel to be ready?"
"The transport spacecraft can be launched in about 30 minutes... However, General, before the 5th Fleet regains space supremacy, launching the spacecraft is still risky." The officer reminded.
"I see." He waved his hand, and the leading general took a deep breath: "Send a telegram to Higgs 3 in my own name... I swear to live and die with Higgs 4." !"
"Yes! General!" The clone officer stood at attention and saluted before sending the telegram.
...
"Higgs 4 has been attacked! The Watcher Fleet is attacking the 5th Fleet...they have suffered heavy losses, but they have no intention of retreating." The adjutant reported what had just happened to Marshal Genesis.
"What are you kidding! What the hell is Walter doing? How could he lose the periphery of Higgs 4 so easily?" After receiving the news, Genesis immediately walked to the map table and called the map near Higgs 4. Universe star map.
"The watchman forces suddenly stormed the joint between the 2nd Fleet and the 5th Fleet, and then turned around to attack the 5th Fleet with all their strength. General Walter mobilized his troops to severely damage the enemy fleet directly in front..." the adjutant explained.
"Then a flaw was revealed, allowing the enemy to break into the vicinity of the Higgs 4 planet? Now it's all right... The preset Higgs 3 battlefield may not be used, in case the enemy launches an attack on the Higgs capital , Our loss may be huge." Genesis looked at Higgs 4 on the map and said.
He also knew that in a battle involving tens of thousands of space battleships, if the enemy really wanted to hide his position, even he might have a loophole.
So he didn't mean to blame General Walter. What he was thinking about now was how to make up for the loophole of Higgs 4.
If the Higgs 4 is lost at the same time as the Higgs 5, the direction of the enemy's attack will be less predictable.
It is entirely possible for the Watcher forces to bypass the heavily fortified Higgs 3 planet and attack the Higgs 1 planet, the capital of the Higgs region.
Different from the outer defensive planets, Higgs 1 is an important planet with star rings. It is the political, cultural and economic center of the Higgs region, which is an industrial center with tens of millions of people!
If it becomes a front line there, not to mention affecting the production capacity of the Alan Hill Empire, it is actually not an easy task to transfer so many civilians.
"At all costs, recapturing Higgs 4... This may be our best choice at the moment." Genesis rubbed his chin, already thinking in his heart whether he was going to launch a resolute counterattack.
"If we launch a counterattack on Higgs 4, will it expose our strength and make the enemy realize that Higgs 3 is actually a trap?" the adjutant said with some concern.
"I don't care about that much. If we lose Higgs 4, it will have a negative impact on the entire battle situation." Genesis said depressingly: "It seems that those watchmen are not as good as they appear. Conceited."
"Order the 6th Fleet of the Reserve Fleet to enter the battlefield! Telegraph Lester, at all costs, to regain control of the space near Higgs 4!" He looked at the communications officer beside him and ordered firmly.
"Report!" Another officer came over. After standing at attention and saluting, he handed a telegram to Genesis: "Marshal! Your Majesty is calling and ordering you to retake Higgs 4 as much as possible!"
"It seems that His Majesty and I have the same thoughts." Genesis let out another long breath: "If that's the case, then follow my order to generate electricity."
In the deep universe, on the bridge of a super battleship, the young Admiral Lester handed over the message in his hand to his chief of staff: "Finally it's our turn! Order the fleet to jump! Target, Sig Si No. 4... Long live my emperor!"
