One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-Eight There Is No Other Way
Ye Han's eyes suddenly widened. Before he could speak, He Lu's roar echoed through the bridge: "It's Missile No. 2, Missile No. 2!"
Ye Han hurriedly asked: "How about Missile No. 3?"
"Seventeen seconds left for the encounter."
Ye Han's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and his mind was filled with the bright light just now.
The first missile interception failed, and the enemy plane must have learned lessons. He was most concerned about whether the success of the enemy plane was just a coincidence, or whether the aliens had indeed mastered the missile avoidance rules.
Time was beating second by second, and the atmosphere on the bridge was unprecedentedly solemn. The moment it skipped the scheduled time, Ye Han's heart almost lost control.
However, there was no change at all on the screen, and the bridge was eerily quiet. It wasn't until a few seconds passed that Luo Qi broke the silence: "Did you escape?"
He Lu's dry voice was filled with a bit of luck: "I think I escaped."
"Great!" Luo Qi smiled happily, "Teacher, hide away!"
Ye Han also breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I escaped."
Dodging it would mean that the second missile was just bad luck and not that aliens had the key to intercepting the missile - this is very important information!
Ye Han finally put his heart back in his stomach and turned around to see He Lu's face looking exhausted: "The next wave will take several hours. The monitoring team will go back to rest. Just come back half an hour early."
He Lu said: "Captain, I can still persist..."
"Whether you can persist is your business. I now order you to go back and rest." Ye Han said **.
He Lu wanted to say something else, but when he reached his lips, he saw Luo Qi winking at him, so he could only hold the words back in his stomach: "Yes!"
"That's right." Ye Han smiled and said, "Go quickly. I'll call you again if necessary."
He Lu left the bridge, but he still couldn't settle down. He always felt that he had overlooked something.
A few hours later, the fourth missile successfully penetrated the defense, but the subsequent fifth and sixth missiles failed. The atmosphere on the Leishan suddenly became much depressed.
Ye Han was not in a good mood, but he was very positive about the work of the monitoring team and repeatedly encouraged everyone to keep up their efforts.
However, the subsequent situation became increasingly unsatisfactory. In the end, only five of the eleven missiles successfully penetrated the defense.
And this was only the first wave of enemy planes. Since the first missile penetrated the defense, the aliens had sent three more waves of alien fighters, which made Ye Han very worried.
Not only Ye Han, but also after the news that aliens successfully intercepted missiles came out, everyone who heard the news had the same worries.
Everyone's worries were by no means unfounded. In the next few days, all the remaining missiles were intercepted by aliens one by one. After the last missile exploded on the screen, Ye Han stared at the screen silently for a long time.
The low pressure in the bridge could be felt by everyone. Everyone looked cautious and did not dare to make any unnecessary noise.
It wasn't until more than five minutes later that Luo Qi broke the silence: "Commander, news about the Nanzhou."
Ye Han nodded and pointed at the screen in front of him. Gao Kai's bust immediately appeared on the screen: "Ye Han, I know everything about the situation..." As soon as he finished saying this, he sighed and remained silent for a while. He continued, "I can't think of any other way now. Let's think about it carefully while we still have a few days. If it doesn't work, just attack by force."
Ye Han's face was full of bitterness: "Just attack."
A few minutes later, I received a reply from Gao Kai: "Then get ready."
Ye Han took a deep breath after hearing this: "Notify all units to prepare for a strong attack!"
The news quickly spread throughout the ship, and the heavy atmosphere gradually turned into depression. However, every officer and soldier on the ship adhered to their duties. Power, pipelines, weapons, equipment... everyone silently prepared for the war, and even every Every screw, every shell was rubbed over and over again.
There are more preparations at the command level. The Leishan alone can't do anything, so the first step in the attack is to join the Nanzhou.
The distance between the two ships was now two light minutes, and it would take the Nanzhou a whole week to catch up, so Ye Han immediately ordered the Leishan to slow down, and then adjust its direction.
The Leishan is located in front and side of the alien fleet, about thirty degrees away. Although it is not a head-on confrontation, it is not much different.
If it continues to fly in this direction, Leishan will be in contact with the enemy for a few seconds at most, so Leishan must adjust its direction from hedging to parallel.
There was only one week left between the Leishan and the alien fleet. It continued to move forward at the original speed. Before the battleship could complete its adjustment, it missed the alien fleet... There was not much time left for the Leishan.
In comparison, there was still half a month's voyage between Nanzhou and the enemy ship, so Gao Kai had plenty of time.
However, the development of the situation was beyond Ye Han's expectation. The aliens had been paying attention to the movements of the Leishan. They discovered that after the Leishan turned, the alien fleet suddenly accelerated. As a result, the Leishan was still slowing down, and the alien fleet had already stopped. The Leishan was left far behind.
Ye Han felt bad all over. At this point, he could only wait for the battleship to turn around and speed up to catch up. But the speed of the alien fleet was not much slower than that of the Leishan. How long would it take him to catch up?
The Nanzhou is not much better. With the current speed of both parties, the possibility of the Nanzhou being thrown away by the alien fleet is extremely high!
Faced with an unfavorable situation, Ye Han and Gao Kai almost used all their strength. The two warships tried their best to pursue the target.
After nine consecutive days of adjustment, Nanzhou finally turned around, and both the direction and speed were consistent with the alien fleet!
The direction of Leishan was also adjusted, but the speed was not raised, and it was trying its best to catch up with the target.
The combat effectiveness of Nanzhou was much stronger than that of ordinary warships, but Gao Kai was unwilling to fight the enemy with fighter jets. According to the current speed of the alien fleet, the aliens' target should not be nearby.
After making such a judgment, Gao Kai was not in a hurry, and simply waited for Leishan to catch up.
The speed difference between the two sides was not much. It would take three to five months for Leishan to catch up.
However, Gao Kai and Ye Han were not worried at all. At present, both the enemy and us have flown away from the sixth star field. The enemy's target could not be too far away. The alien fleet must slow down in advance before reaching the target. At that time, Leishan can take the opportunity to catch up.
This wait lasted for half a month. Twelve days later, the alien fleet began to slow down, and humans also determined the seventh asteroid based on the speed and direction of the alien fleet.
The alien fleet was moving too fast, and it would take at least seven or eight days to slow down, otherwise it would not be able to get close to the asteroid. Leishan took the opportunity to catch up.
At this moment, twelve enemy ships suddenly left the fleet and rushed towards Nanzhou with great momentum.
