One Thousand and Ninety-Six Regroup

The fighter planes finally withdrew to the mothership, and the mechanical arm quickly clamped the fighter planes and took them back into the ship. The 011 class also slowly retreated to a short distance in front of the mothership.

The international fleet on the other side also shrank across the board. At this point, the joint fleet had already lost contact with the enemy and could withdraw at any time.

However, the evacuation did not occur. All the 011 classes stood in front of the aerospace mothership, facing the alien aircraft group rushing towards them calmly. A new batch of fighter planes also flew out of the aerospace mothership.

There were not many fighter planes in this batch, less than 300 at most, and each plane was full of missile bays, on the wings, under the wings, on the back and belly of the aircraft.

"Still fighting?" Bian Ge was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and his brain almost crashed on the spot, "Can we win?"

Qi Haifeng couldn't hide the shame on his face: "I don't know." He really didn't want the fleet to fail, but he really didn't think highly of the strength of both sides.

Ye Han opened his mouth, but the words were stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.

He wanted to say that he would do his best and leave the rest to fate, but this sentence was too negative. Even if the situation ahead was extremely bad, he was unwilling to say so.

Although it didn't matter whether he said it or not, at least he still had hope in his heart.

The alien fleet was getting closer and closer, the battlefield was tense, the air in the bridge was stagnant, and a calm voice suddenly sounded: "Smoke screen!"

Hearing this voice, Ye Han's heart jumped: "Commander Huo?"

"Impossible? Commander Huo never goes to space?" Qi Haifeng immediately expressed doubt.

"It can't be wrong." Ye Han said, "It must be Commander Huo's voice."

Everyone's eyes fell on the screen at the same time, and they all thought of the importance of this battle.

At Huo Qiang's order, all the warships opened fire fiercely at the same time, and missiles flew away from the warships one after another, exploding in front of the first battle line formed by the 011 class.

Every time a missile explodes, an umbrella-shaped smoke screen will explode. The continuous explosions quickly form a dense and opaque smoke screen in front of the dot matrix, which covers all human warships and aircraft.

The smoke screen blocks the sight of both aliens and humans, but it can only block visible light. The radar on the warship can easily penetrate the smoke screen and determine the position of enemy ships and aircraft.

"Extend the smoke screen!" Another order was issued, and the missiles began to extend forward. Some missiles also exploded up and down, forming a wider and thicker smoke screen.

The smoke screen had just taken shape, and the fleet moved to the side under Huo Qiang's order. The 011 class, fighters, main battleships, and aerospace carriers each went in a direction, and each moved to the edge of the smoke screen and stopped carefully.

"Enemy aircraft has entered the range-"

"Don't worry about it, wait for my order!" Huo Qiang said.

After waiting for a while: "The enemy plane is launching missiles!"

"What direction?"

"In the middle of the smokescreen..."

"Don't worry about it!"

After waiting for a while: "The enemy plane is about to enter the smokescreen!"

"Assign targets to lock on the enemy planes-fire!"

Countless missiles were fired from warships, fighter planes, and all places where missiles could be launched. They flew from the edge of the smokescreen to the center, and then suddenly turned and plunged into the smokescreen and could no longer be seen.

Everyone waited for the result in silence, but the smokescreen blocked the line of sight, and no one could see the scene in the smokescreen.

Ye Han subconsciously clenched his fists.

It is indeed a way to induce the enemy to enter the smokescreen and then use missiles to kill the enemy planes, but when the missiles explode, not only will the enemy planes be destroyed, but the airflow will also blow away the smokescreen. In that case... No, Huo Qiang can become the commander because of his ability and strength. It is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake. Then...the only way is to carry smoke bombs in the missiles, which can not only replenish the consumption of the smokescreen in time, but also play a cover role!

Missiles hit the smoke screen in waves, which lasted for nearly a minute.

A voice suddenly exploded: "Enemy planes are within range--"

Huo Qiang's voice was still calm: "Free fire!"

The continuous missiles seemed to have stopped,

Suddenly there was an obvious fault, and then all the warships suddenly burst out, the fire of the guns was connected in a string, and countless shells flew out of the warships and hit the center of the smoke screen from all directions.

Bian Ge's eyes were straight. The screen was full of missile trails just now, and in a blink of an eye, it became a mess of flying shells. Wherever the eyes can see, you can see the flying shells. It feels like looking up at the sky in a rainstorm.

From time to time, a few missiles are added to the shells. Everyone knows that the screen is a real battlefield, but they are still shocked by the overwhelming barrage.

This is the unique grandeur and magnificence of war, which cannot be replaced by anything else.

It was unknown how many enemy planes the fleet had destroyed. First, some enemy plane fragments flew out of the smokescreen, and then more and more fragments became larger and larger. After a while, even half of the alien warships appeared.

But everyone's mood became more and more depressed.

The larger the fragments, the sparser the firepower of the enemy. I'm afraid that the enemy planes will break through the smokescreen in a short time...

Finally, an enemy plane rushed out of the smokescreen, but before it could see the situation outside the smokescreen, it was hit by several close-in defense guns and immediately turned into fragments in the continuous explosions.

Huo Qiang's voice sounded again: "Everyone pay attention, retreat slowly!" The fighter plane broke through the smokescreen, which meant that the enemy had known the arrangement behind the smokescreen, so they had to adjust their position immediately, and the best solution was to keep a distance.

More alien fighter planes rushed out of the smokescreen, and the barrage immediately deflected towards the enemy planes.

There were more and more enemy planes, and the barrage became more and more scattered. After the alien fighters broke through the smoke screen, they finally broke through the fire net.

After breaking through the blockade, they immediately turned and rushed towards the human warships at the edge of the smoke screen.

Lasers were like swords piercing the sky, suddenly cutting through the void and cutting down the alien fighters one by one. Due to the obstruction of the smoke screen, only rapid-fire guns were firing before, and it was not until this time that laser close-in defense guns joined the battle.

The addition of laser guns increased the firepower density of the human side by nearly times, and immediately suppressed the enemy planes that broke through the fire net.

Ye Han felt that the number of enemy planes destroyed by the fleet in such a short time was more than the total number of enemy planes shot down by fighters.

Perhaps many people would think that this battle should be fought like this from the beginning, instead of sending fighters out to fight desperately.

But the account is not calculated like this. The aerospace mothership relies on fighters to fight, and fighters are the arms of the aerospace mothership. To put it more cruelly, how much does a fighter cost? Losing a hundred or eighty planes is not as good as losing a battleship, and it is much easier to replenish.

On the other hand, humans only have so many battleships at the moment, which can be said to be the last capital of mankind. If one is destroyed, one is lost. It is not so easy to rebuild.

As for human lives... a general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. Human life is the least important thing on the battlefield. No matter how great and heroic it is, it is an afterthought. Human life on the battlefield is just a pale number, even if there is a living life behind each word.

To put it bluntly, victory is filled with the lives of soldiers, ancient and modern, both at home and abroad.
