Nine Hundred and Sixty Six One More Step Forward

Seven hundred kilometers away, another round of air strikes began.

Although it is only 300 kilometers closer, the accuracy of the electromagnetic gun has been greatly improved. Although it has not yet reached the level of precision strike, as long as the target is not particularly small, it is still no problem to hit two out of three shots.

As a result, this wave of air strikes lasted for an extremely long time. Each shot took some time to accurately observe and not fire until it was aligned with the target. As a result, the density of the air strikes was much lower than the previous two rounds.

This is also one of the shortcomings of the electromagnetic gun. The shortest barrel is forty or fifty meters long. It cannot be made into a turret like an ordinary naval gun. It can only be placed inside the battleship. It cannot be aimed without moving the battleship.

There are electromagnetic guns like ordinary naval guns, but the barrel is too short, the shell speed is slow and the range is short. Only the rate of fire is not bad, so it can only be used as a close-range anti-gun.

Some people may say that there is no air resistance in space. After the cannonball is fired, it can fly indefinitely as long as it does not encounter obstacles. How can it have an effective range?

This can indeed be said in theory, but accuracy issues must be considered when firing electromagnetic guns. No matter which type of electromagnetic gun, the longer the electromagnetic track, the more stable it is, and the higher the accuracy of the projectile. On the contrary, the accuracy will be reduced accordingly. .

After all, the artillery shell is a high-speed moving object, and any small disturbance will eventually be reflected in the hit accuracy.

For example, the assembly error of a certain acceleration coil is too high.

Or to put it more bluntly, the so-called effective range is the distance at which a target can be accurately hit after precise aiming. Any further away and it will be difficult to hit the target due to the accuracy of the sight or external interference during launch.

The assault fleet is indeed equipped with an electromagnetic turret, but the accuracy of that thing is really annoying. If you want to hit the target more than 700 kilometers away, you must be blind and blind.

Because of this, air strikes can only rely on electromagnetic main guns.

The bombardment of the assault fleet lasted for half an hour and then stopped. Gao Kai found Ye Han again: "Yi Zi, I've been bombing and bombing, but the alien fleet just won't show up. What do you think we should do next?"

Ye Han didn't say anything, but he was thinking about it in his heart.

Although the fleet's targeted bombing did not turn Callisto into a scorched earth, all visible alien buildings had disappeared. At this point, the bombardment could not be stopped even if it was not possible, but there was still no sign of the alien fleet emerging.

The next actions are nothing more than two. One is to cut into the inside of Callisto and continue bombing its other side. The other is to decisively launch a landing operation and break into the aliens' underground facilities to further test the aliens' reaction.

The question now is not what to do next, but how to act to get to the bottom of the aliens.

Having said that, if Gao Kai is inclined to bombing, then there is no need to ask Ye Han what he means. In this case, Gao Kai's idea is very clear. He hopes to stop the bombing and launch the landing operation decisively.

Thinking of this, Ye Han didn't answer and asked instead: "Lao Gao, do you think the alien fleet will continue?"

"How can it be that fast?" Gao Kai said, "Besides, what if it continues? They are so close to the interception fleet. From what I see, even if they want to come back, they have to finish fighting the interception fleet first."

Ye Han's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he nodded and said, "Then log in!"

Now it is no longer a question of whether the alien fleet wants to fight, but the arrow has to be fired. Neither the alien fleet nor the intercepting fleet can turn back. Otherwise, it will first slow down and then accelerate. The fleet will become passive due to this series of actions and will eventually be defeated by the enemy. The army slapped him on the buttocks.

The collision between the two fleets is inevitable. The difference lies not only in the victory or defeat, but also in where they will go after the war.

It is best to win the interception fleet. If the interception fleet fails, the task of the assault fleet is to force the alien fleet to return.

Aliens like to live underground. Simply bombing Callisto is difficult to touch the most sensitive nerves of aliens. In contrast, directly attacking underground facilities after landing is indeed better than air strikes.

After making the decision, the fleet immediately launched into action. Gao Kai was responsible for commanding the fleet to cover the landing force.

Ye Han immediately communicated with the resistance organization and told them that the surface of Callisto, which had been bombed by the fleet, was ready for landing. In a questioning tone, he asked the resistance organization if they had any idea of ​​landing on Callisto.

After Zeng Rui conveyed Ye Han's meaning to the aliens, several senior leaders of the resistance organization gathered together to discuss for a while, and one of them said a few words to Zeng Rui.

There were some subtle changes in Zeng Rui's expression, but this change had no reference significance to humans. Ye Han couldn't understand the meaning and could only wait for Zeng Rui to speak.

Zeng Rui thought for a while and said: "Chief, what they mean is that the resistance organization's target is the servant production line, but they think the possibility of the production line being here is very small."

"Where do they think the production line should be?" Ye Han asked.

"Ganymede." Zeng Rui said.

Ye Han said: "Tell them, Ganymede is our next target. For the safety of the fleet, we must capture Callisto first. At the very least, we must leave a group of troops to contain the enemies here, and then the fleet can continue to attack... Yes, what if the production line is on Callisto? Even if there is only one percent chance, we must try our best."

Zeng Rui immediately conveyed Ye Han's intention, but Ye Han opened another channel to contact the flagship: "Old Gao, I just had an idea, we don't need to keep an eye on Callisto, leave a group of people here, and then Leave two battleships behind and the main force of the fleet will attack Ganymede immediately. What do you think?"

Gao Kai nodded immediately without thinking: "I think it's okay!"

The average orbital distance of the two satellites, Ganymede and Callisto, exceeds 800,000 kilometers, which is twice the distance between the earth and the moon. The actual distance between the two satellites is much farther than the orbital distance. Even if there is an alien fleet hiding on Callisto, it does not have the conditions for a sneak attack.

"Let's do it!" Ye Han said.

At this time, Zeng Rui had already communicated with the aliens, and Ye Han immediately made a gesture to Gao Kai to silence him.

Zeng Rui immediately said: "Chief, they agreed, but asked us to provide air cover, and they also hope that the fleet can leave a group of people to assist them, and it would be best if they can be mixed."

Ye Han thought for a while and said: "Tell them that I will arrange the escort warships and I will leave the people for them. Whether to mix or not depends on the specific situation, but you must make it clear to them that the fleet's main target is Ganymede. When the Qiang Er Fleet comes, the remaining warships and people must be evacuated."

The requirements of the resistance organization can be said to be exactly what they want.

No one dares to say that the production line is not on Callisto, and one of the hidden missions of the airborne division is to find a way to gain control of the production line, or at least destroy it. Even if the resistance organization does not mention this, Ye Han will find a way to get people in, and mixed organization is even more desirable.
