Nine Hundred and Seventy-Three Crucial
The fleet's bombing operation went very smoothly, but Gao Kai believed that the non-resistance of the aliens made the fleet very passive, because all the enemies fled underground, and it was difficult for the bombing to bring out the underground bunkers hidden in the dark. It only blew up the buildings on the ground. It's not much different from wasting shells.
If you can accurately locate the underground bunker, you can at least cause some damage to the enemy.
However, the situation was not as smooth as Gao Kai thought. When the fleet flew directly above the front of Callisto, it suddenly found a crater that was a little strange.
Several warships noticed the crater at the same time, and unanimously pointed their cameras there. They accidentally discovered that there was a super-large chrysanthemum gate at the bottom of the crater.
The observers immediately realized that it was the place where alien warships entered and exited Callisto, and quickly reported the situation to the flagship.
Gao Kai was stunned when he received the news. He could never have imagined that huge warships could enter and exit through the chrysanthemum lock. Such a big chrysanthemum lock was installed in the crater, just like chrysanthemums growing on Callisto.
Gao Kai felt a chill and did not dare to think any further. He ordered the fleet to focus fire and knock out the aliens' underground base first - under the super-large chrysanthemum gate, it must be the aliens' lair on Callisto.
The artillery fire of the air raid paused for a moment because of Gao Kai's order. All warships adjusted their positions at the same time and aimed their guns at the crater.
Gao Kai gave an order, and all the warships opened fire at the same time, and the shells fell into the crater one after another.
He was still not sure whether there was an alien base under the chrysanthemum gate, otherwise it would not be artillery shells, but nuclear bombs thrown directly above.
The first round of artillery shells landed in the blink of an eye, and the shells that landed outside the chrysanthemum gate immediately exploded into dust. However, there was no trace of the precise hit on the chrysanthemum gate. They penetrated the chrysanthemum gate silently like a sharp knife cutting through butter.
The battleship immediately detected gas at the bottom of the crater, but it was blocked by a chrysanthemum gate. No one knew what would happen after the shell penetrated the chrysanthemum gate, and the chrysanthemum gate did not shrink like a balloon.
An idea immediately flashed through Gao Kai's mind. Since this thing is alive, it would be useless to just pierce a few holes. The vital parts must be injured or exceed a certain limit before the anus valve will leak.
"Continue!" Gao Kai said without hesitation.
At this moment, the ground of a small plain near the crater suddenly opened up from below, and dozens of thin lights shot into the sky. The warships that were about to fire were immediately hit by bullets. On average, each warship received several thin lights.
The accident happened so suddenly that no one had time to react.
By the time the helmsman subconsciously avoided it, the thin light had already hit the battleship.
Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, but they were only startled. Gao Kai quickly ordered the fleet to retreat, and asked about the situation of the battleships while retreating.
Very fortunately, all battleships are fine, with minor scratches at most.
Gao Kai breathed a sigh of relief and was also very happy at the same time.
The fleet's luck is both accidental and inevitable. The inevitable reason is that the altitude of the fleet has always been stuck at 700 kilometers, just beyond the range of thin light, and the bow with the thickest armor is facing Callisto; the accidental factor is the alien People disperse firepower, and if all the thin light is focused on one target, the consequences are unpredictable.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, Gao Kai, who was still frightened, became angry and pointed at the plain on the screen and roared: "Blast it away for me!"
The fleet immediately fine-tuned the battleship's posture and aimed the electromagnetic gun at the plain and fired. As soon as the shells came out of the chamber, Gao Kai called the combat staff and issued a separate order to launch nuclear bombs at the crater.
Nuclear bombs are either launched by missiles or ordinary naval guns. They have nothing to do with electromagnetic guns. There is no need to adjust the posture and it does not affect the fleet's bombardment of the plains.
A nuclear shell was immediately loaded into the barrel, the turret rotated rapidly, and with the assistance of the fire control system, it was accurately aimed and fired quickly.
Not to be outdone, the aliens sent thin lights from the small plain one after another, and the two sides started an artillery battle over a distance of more than 700 kilometers.
The aliens' counterattack was fierce, but air-to-ground had a natural advantage, and the narrow beam range was limited, so the threat to the fleet was pitifully small. Human shells did not have this problem, falling one by one on the plains. , killing several giant insects in a short time.
That's right, it's a giant insect. The thin light is not emitted from a mechanical device, but from a special kind of insect. Anyone who sees this scene can't figure out how the aliens transformed the insect into a living thing. arms.
What's more, I thought of the thin light on the alien battleship. How did the aliens push the bugs onto the battleship?
The shells fired by ordinary naval guns were too slow. It took a long time for the nuclear shells to fall into the crater and hit the chrysanthemum gate without any bias, triggering the fuse.
The chrysanthemum gate could not block the tungsten alloy shells of the electromagnetic gun, but it could block the nuclear shells fired by ordinary naval guns. As a result, the shells failed to hit the ground as Gao Kai planned, and detonated directly outside the chrysanthemum gate.
The nuclear bomb exploded instantly, a strong flash of light illuminated the sky and the earth, and flames suddenly rushed out of the crater, just like a super volcano suddenly erupted. The surroundings of the crater shook violently, and the flames rushed into the sky dozens of kilometers high, and the thin light on the plain was interrupted on the spot.
The fleet took the opportunity to increase its firepower and destroyed the air defense positions on the plain in a short time.
At this time, the nuclear explosion in the crater was coming to an end, and we could barely observe the situation inside.
The surface material inside the crater has been melted by the nuclear explosion, and molten material like magma can be seen everywhere slowly flowing along the mountain.
The chrysanthemum gate at the bottom has completely disappeared, leaving only a big black hole. It is so dark that nothing can be seen clearly.
The battle was suspended due to the nuclear explosion. Gao Kai first ordered a flare to be fired into the cave, and then told Lu Zuo to inform the landing troops on the back of Callisto to be careful of the ambush below the plain.
It was still the same naval gun just now, but the nuclear bomb was replaced by an illumination bomb. After the gun ejected from the chamber, it went straight east into the hole. Under the precise calculation of the fire control system, it still accurately landed in the crater after flying more than 700 kilometers. The whole process was long. up to four minutes.
A blazing white light suddenly illuminated the bottom of the pit, and continued to fall along the huge cave that went straight up and down. It didn't suddenly go out until it hit something unknown a few seconds later.
There was silence on the bridge, Gao Kai looked confused: "Another nuclear bomb, be more accurate!"
There is likely to be an alien warship in that hole, and Gao Kai does not want to leave hidden dangers for the warships staying on Callisto.
The third cannon shot ejected from the chamber and turned into a stream of light that fell into the hole. The fleet continued to wait on the track. After nearly four minutes, the stream of light from the cannonball entered the hole.
The light flashed away, and the bottom of the cave returned to darkness. However, after only a short moment, a bright light suddenly rose from the bottom of the pit.
