Nine Hundred and Eighty: Feint to the East and Attack in the West (2)
With the Qianger Fleet blocking in front, explosions on the battlefield and dazzling beams of light, the Zuer Fleet did not find anything wrong with the assault ship.
Until the assault fleet had used up all the smoke bombs, the aliens discovered that three strange enemy ships suddenly appeared on one side of the Qianger Fleet, and the speed of these three human warships was unusually fast, and they were rushing towards the flank of the Zuer Fleet at a very high speed!
The Zuer Fleet had many warships, so even if a few human warships appeared on the flank, it would not be a big deal. The key was that the speed of these three warships was too fast, and that direction happened to be the gap between the two alien fleets. In other words, as long as the assault fleet successfully broke through the blockade before the alien fleet intercepted, there would be no more barriers between the assault ship and those alien giant ships.
Martin had been paying attention to the assault fleet and watched the whole process from beginning to end. At this time, he also understood the purpose of the assault fleet and could not help but be amazed at Ye Han's boldness.
Isn't the assault ship a landing ship? Not to mention coming to interfere in the air battle, why did he play a single-handed meeting and a fixed-point breakthrough?
But on second thought, I have to admit that only the speed of the assault is expected to break through the blockade. If it is replaced by other warships, they will probably be blocked by the enemy!
Yes, speed is indeed one of the advantages of the assault ship!
Although the main function of the assault ship is landing, it is not equivalent to a landing ship. Like a fast transport ship, it sacrifices comprehensive performance, improves the thrust-to-weight ratio of the entire ship, and focuses on engine power.
The reason for doing this is closely related to the mission performed by the assault ship, because when performing a landing operation, the assault ship needs to get close to the celestial body. Under the same conditions, the higher the engine power, the lower the hovering height.
This is somewhat advantageous when landing, but it is very important when recovering landing personnel.
It is precisely because of this that if the assault ship is fully operational, its acceleration can be about one-third higher than other warships.
Although the number and quality of weapons on the assault ship are not as good as those on the main battleship, any human warship will be equipped with nuclear weapons, and there is no shortage of means to destroy enemy ships, only the opportunity to get close to the enemy ships!
After discovering what happened, Martin immediately realized the opportunity and quickly ordered the fleet to attack with all its strength to hold back the enemy. The Qianger Fleet immediately attacked with all its strength, throwing all kinds of weapons at the enemy ships without cost, and even the fleet began to accelerate forward.
Even if you can't score, assists are better than no gain.
The sudden outbreak did cause a lot of trouble for the Zhuer Fleet, but the Zhuer Fleet still insisted on blocking while sending out some warships to intercept the assault fleet.
The escaping alien giant ship also received the news, and while accelerating its escape, it sent out the few warships around it to intercept the assault ship.
The situation was broken in a flash, and Gao Kai's eyes turned red. At an order, the five warships led by the Nanzhou suddenly moved forward, quickly narrowing the distance between the two armies, and the hit rate of various weapons suddenly increased.
In order to ensure the safety of the Nanzhou, the thick-skinned main battleship blocked the Nanzhou and used itself to block the enemy's firepower.
The distance between the two sides was less than a thousand kilometers. The Nanzhou fleet had always been out of the range of the alien fleet. They were almost driven crazy by the fact that they could not reach the target despite trying their best. They wished they could get closer as soon as possible.
After a while, the distance between the two sides was shortened by several hundred kilometers. After the Nanzhou fleet entered the range of the thin light, the aliens attacked with all their strength like chicken blood. Hundreds of thin lights attacked the Nanzhou fleet.
The destroyer at the forefront had not been at the forefront for a minute before its armor was severely damaged. If it continued to hold on, it would be in danger of being sunk, so it had to retreat to the back to rest.
At the critical moment, the Nanzhou fleet launched smoke bombs in time to cover the fleet. The exploding smoke provided good cover for the warships and won precious time for the fleet.
Gao Kai decisively issued a take-off order. The Nanzhou, hidden in the smoke screen, launched two aviation divisions in one breath. More than 170 fighter planes flew out of the smoke screen like blooming fireworks. With the help of boosters, they rushed towards the enemy at a speed no less than that of missiles.
At the same time, five warships launched missiles at full speed.
A large number of missiles and fighters were mixed together to confuse the enemy's vision and hearing to the maximum extent.
This was not the first time that the aliens had fought with human aerospace motherships. They were very clear about the power of fighters. There was a brief confusion in the Zunan fleet. Some wanted to intercept missiles first, some aimed at fighters first, and some continued to fire at the smoke screen. Different choices dispersed the firepower, but the interception effect was also very outstanding. In just a dozen seconds, the alien fleet shot down hundreds of missiles, and the light of the explosion filled the battlefield.
However, the aliens shot down only a few fighters, which not only led to the failure of the interception, but also laid the fuse for the destruction of the Zunan fleet.
At the same time, the Zuer Fleet had been divided into two. The main force continued to block the Qianger Fleet, and more than 20 warships were separated separately to intercept the assault fleet with all their strength.
The Qiang Er Fleet was like taking the wrong medicine. It only used half of its firepower to deal with the Zhu Er Fleet in front of it, and the other half of its firepower was all on the squadron. Countless beams and shells were thrown at it like a tide. But this fleet was in a panic and exposed its side to the Qiang Er Fleet. Only one wave of artillery fire killed three alien warships.
The war had been going on for so long, and the Qiang Er Fleet had sunk more than ten enemy ships, but it was the first time that such a great victory was achieved in such a short time.
The brilliant victory stimulated the entire Qiang Er Fleet. Wave after wave of firepower was thrown at it. The squadron in the rain of bullets wanted to adjust its direction and face the Qiang Er Fleet head-on to reduce the exposure area.
But in that case, the speed of the fleet would be greatly affected, and there would be no time to intercept the assault fleet. In the end, these warships could only grit their teeth and continue to charge up under the rain of bullets.
The assault fleet, which was charging at full speed, would naturally not miss the opportunity to hit the drowning dog. It fired several waves of missiles one after another, and several rounds of Taiping Fists made the alien fleet miserable. Although it failed to sink any alien warships, more than a dozen warships were damaged by the assault fleet, half of which were severely damaged and sank under the fierce attack of the Strong Second Fleet soon after.
At this point, the stumbling block in front of the assault fleet was finally kicked away, and the three warships crossed the blockade like a stream of light and rushed towards the alien giant ship that was about to escape.
The Second Fleet of the Second Battleship immediately sent a group of warships to pursue, but the main force was firmly held by the Strong Second Fleet. Both sides suffered losses in the battle, but the balance of victory was gradually tilting towards the Strong Second Fleet.
As for the Nanzhou, the offensive tactics of missiles and fighter jets achieved excellent results. When groups of fighter jets attacked the Zhunan fleet, the Nanzhou fleet had already secured victory in advance, and then completely wiped out the Zhunan fleet at the cost of destroying more than 40 fighter jets.
