813 Throwing a Stone to Test the Water

After receiving Duan Jingwen's communication, Ye Han recounted his previous discoveries and emphasized that the observations were made with the telescope of the Nanzhou, and the Nanzhou should have the observation records at that time.

Duan Jingwen immediately retrieved the observation data at that time according to the time period Ye Han mentioned, and then adjusted the observation direction according to the data in the data. Five minutes later, the observation team finally found the first alien warship.

It was found that it was an ordinary alien spaceship, which had nothing to do with the warship. At most, there were a few self-defense weapons on the spaceship.

As time passed, the number of spaceships discovered by the observation team increased sharply, and Ling Yu also formulated a new combat plan around the alien spaceship in front.

In fact, there was nothing special about the new plan. Space is an unobstructed place, and you can see what the enemy is doing at a glance. The fleet's tactics cannot be as complicated and changeable as on Earth.

The actions of the Third Fleet will definitely not be hidden from the aliens. If the conspiracy cannot be carried out, you can only think about the conspiracy.

Half an hour later, the Third Fleet was divided into three.

The flagship Nanzhou took another warship to form a double-ship formation, separated from the main force and accelerated to fly straight, undisguisedly rushing towards the alien spacecraft collecting asteroids.

According to Ling Yu's opinion, only the Nanzhou should be sent to carry out the attack mission, and the aerospace mothership is most suitable for dealing with lone enemy ships.

However, the headquarters is located on the Nanzhou, and the risk of the Nanzhou acting alone is too great. Under the common opposition of everyone, Ling Yu can only bring one more warship.

The remaining warships are evenly divided into two groups, A and B, whose mission is to attack the reinforcements sent by the aliens according to the situation, or simply attack Jupiter Zero directly.

Among them, the A fleet is composed entirely of space warships, mainly responsible for intercepting the enemy; in addition to the warships, the B fleet also has the Yushan, which will decide whether to participate in the interception or go straight to Huanglong according to the situation.

The plan is simple, but how to implement it depends on how the aliens respond.

Shortly after the Nanzhou set off, the aliens determined the intentions of the two warships, but the main force of humans was still hovering near Jupiter. If they sent too few reinforcements, they would definitely be intercepted by humans, and if they sent too many reinforcements, Jupiter's defense would be weakened. It was simply a dilemma.

The Third Fleet, from top to bottom, was waiting for the aliens to move, but the first class of the alien fleet did not move, the second class did not move, and the third class was still the same, with no signs of deployment at all.

On the contrary, those ships collecting asteroids immediately gave up their previous missions and quickly withdrew from the collection area after receiving the alarm from Jupiter.

Now it was the turn of the Third Fleet to be at a loss.

The flight speed of human warships was not bad, but compared with alien warships, there was no particularly obvious advantage.

There was a three to five day voyage between Jupiter and the collection ship, and the time required for the two-ship formation to fly there was about the same. Even if the collection ship was not fast, it could be far away from the Nanzhou by withdrawing a few days in advance.

The plan was aborted just after it started. Ling Yu's expression was extremely ugly. The aliens were too cunning!

It was meaningless to continue the previous plan. Ling Yu decisively stopped the action. The soldiers were a little depressed, but fortunately, they were just depressed.

There was no suitable action plan for the time being, and Beidu had no new news. Ling Yu couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.

It was easy to stalemate. Although piecemeal attacks could not achieve much results, the accumulation of small gains could always weaken the enemy's strength. However, from all indications, Beidu's intention was to stop Jupiter Zero as soon as possible, which was puzzling.

It was still the same old problem. The strength of the Third Fleet was too weak. It was okay to fight a harassment war, but a head-on confrontation was simply seeking death. However, the current situation was that the alien fleet was determined to defend Jupiter Zero. Unless the Third Fleet rushed hard like a moth to a flame, it would have to wait for the opportunity to destroy a large number of enemy ships, let alone destroy a single enemy ship.

Space warfare is simple, because all the enemy's movements are under our control; space warfare is complicated, because all our actions are displayed exactly under the enemy's eyes.

The supplies carried by the Third Fleet are enough to support a few months,

but once the action is deadlocked, it is not impossible to stalemate for a few months, so Ling Yu has always had a sense of urgency in his heart, hoping that the fleet will open up the situation as soon as possible.

After careful consideration for a while, Ling Yu issued an order to implement harassment warfare, and the fleet quickly moved and approached Jupiter again.

But this time it was not approaching from the side, but from the side and rear, pretending to attack the planetary engine. The real purpose was to take the opportunity to destroy the alien warships!

Of course, if the alien fleet's defense is not tight enough, Ling Yu doesn't mind throwing a few nuclear bombs into the planetary engine.

The planetary engine is only working at an accelerated speed. Since Jupiter entered the uniform flight stage, the planetary engine has stopped working long ago-if this thing is still working, no matter whether it is a fleet or a landing force, there is no chance to get close, let alone destroy it.

Looking from the back of Jupiter, the planetary engines look like a group of giant volcanoes scattered on the ground, but if you look closely, they seem to be extremely abrupt, like a parasitic scab on the earth.

The actions of the Third Fleet immediately attracted the attention of the alien fleet. Hundreds of warships left their original positions and assembled in the direction of the Third Fleet's attack. When the aliens thought that enough warships had gathered, these alien warships took the initiative to leave Jupiter and flew towards the Third Fleet at a relatively slow speed, showing an attitude of expulsion that neither wanted to engage in battle nor wanted the Third Fleet to get close.

"Interesting!" Ling Yu sneered, "Order fleet A to break away!"

Fleet A, consisting of five warships, immediately separated from the main force, and the third fleet was divided into two, pretending to attack separately.

The alien fleet was also divided into two, blocking the human fleets in two directions.

It was meaningless to continue to divide the troops. The third fleet had only a dozen warships, while the enemy had hundreds of warships. No matter how strong the combat capability of human warships was, it was impossible to win under the disparity of ten to one.

Ling Yu touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Fire a few missiles to explore the way, aim at Jupiter."

After receiving the order, the main force of the fleet and fleet A disbanded at the same time, and all human warships scattered like flowers. Taking advantage of the short opportunity when the alien fleet did not react, all ships fired at Jupiter.

Among them were missiles of various types, a large number of shells, and some smoke bombs for cover.

In short, all available weapons should be used to make the fire test look like a premeditated formal attack rather than a feint that can be seen through at a glance.
