One Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-One Scars on the Earth

Since the aliens were hiding in the sand, there was no need for the defenders to be polite. Without saying a word, they launched a batch of nuclear missiles at the landing area. The number was enough to cover the entire landing area twice.

If you miss such a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy, you will be struck by lightning!

The missiles from outer space were extremely fast, and the Martian atmosphere was so thin. It took less than two minutes for the missiles to fall from the sky.

The speed of the missile was so fast that it far exceeded the speed of sound in the Martian atmosphere. The enemy soldiers hiding in the sand could not hear the sound at all.

A few enemy soldiers who had not yet hid discovered the missiles in the sky, but they were the key targets of the Tiandai. A beam of light descended from the sky and swept across the airdrop area, killing hundreds of enemy soldiers immediately, as well as an equal number of insect drones. .

The insect planes all over the ground also discovered the missiles in the sky. The instinct rooted in the minds of the insect planes controlled them to fire at the missiles.

Thousands of insect aircraft vibrated their elytra at the same time, and a high-pitched buzzing sound resounded throughout the airborne area. The sand behind each insect aircraft was gently lifted up by the jet air... Their power was too weak, so weak that It can fly in space and in low-gravity environments. The gravity of Mars is much greater than that of Ceres. No matter how much the insect machine vibrates its elytra, it cannot leave the ground even a little bit.

If you can't fly, you can't aim the missile, and if you can't aim, you can't intercept it. One insect drone was so anxious that it sprayed out a thin beam of light without even raising its head, instantly cutting open several insect drones.

This thin light seemed to sting the nerves of other insect machines. The nearby insect machines instinctively spit out thin light, and more insect machines were sliced ​​by the thin light from friendly forces.

There are more and more insect machines emitting fine light, and they are rapidly expanding to the surrounding areas, staging an annual drama of cannibalism.

Everyone believed that if it continued to develop, the insect machine that landed would be completely dead without human intervention. However, before the chaos could spread, a dazzling bright light exploded above the airdrop zone.

The second group...

The third group...

The missile exploded first in the air and then on the ground. The nuclear explosions were one after another. The mushroom clouds were one after another. The nuclear explosions that lasted for half a minute plowed the airdrop zone twice. The shock wave kicked up countless sand and dust, covering the entire airdrop zone layer by layer. Covered in layers, looking from the air to the ground, it looks like a sudden Martian dust burst suddenly covering the airdrop zone.

But everyone knows that this man-made dust explosion is much more deadly than the real Martian dust explosion. Even if the airborne alien troops are not completely wiped out, they are definitely dead and will never become a climate change again.

After a long time, the dust raised by the nuclear explosion was finally blown away by the wind, revealing the dust explosion covering the ground.

At this time, the iconic red desert of Mars can no longer be seen in the airdrop area. Instead, there are explosion craters with astonishing diameters. They are so conspicuous that they can be clearly seen with the naked eye without the use of any optical equipment in low-altitude orbits. See them clearly!

If you use optical equipment to get closer, you can find that the soil and rocks near the explosion crater have been melted by the high temperature of the nuclear explosion, forming crystals similar to glass. Even if the enemy soldiers and giant insects hiding underground are not dead, they will not be able to survive. Drill through this shell.

The airborne enemy troops were finished. The defenders who saw this scene breathed a sigh of relief, but they immediately turned their attention to the Xuzhou and Discovery battle groups.

The shocking reversal staged by Mars completely changed the situation between the enemy and ourselves. Originally, the human side was eager to intercept the enemy, and the two battle groups pursued it at full speed. Now that Mars is fine, Xuzhou and Discovery suddenly became calm and relaxed. They were about to catch up, but suddenly slowed down and followed the enemy unhurriedly, neither attacking nor retreating.

The sudden change in the situation on Mars and the tracking of the human fleet put the aliens under great pressure. They did not know whether to turn around to face the enemy or continue flying to the earth... It was simply impossible to turn around and fly to Mars unless they could break through the interception of the human fleet.

The strength of this alien fleet is not weak.

The fleet commander is confident that breaking through interception is definitely not a problem.

But what happens after the breakthrough? After flying to Mars, we still have to face the Martian defenders. The main force of the fleet is finished. What is the possibility of defeating the defenders with a mere partial division?

After much thought, the fleet finally gave up the idea of ​​attacking Mars.

But the Earth was not a good target either. In the end, they turned away from Mars and detoured back to the asteroid belt.

Both the Xuzhou and the Discovery have the idea of ​​leaving behind this enemy force, but the strength of the enemy and ours is almost the same, and there are too many variables in a fight. As the saying goes, if you kill the enemy by one thousand, you will lose eight hundred, and the fleet guarding Mars is just that. Really After all the battleships have been destroyed, what if the aliens send another fleet over?

It happened that the enemy had no intention of confronting Gang, so the Xuzhou and the Discovery discussed it and reported the results of the discussion to the joint command. Finally, the joint command issued an order to withdraw to Mars, and the two battle groups turned around and returned.

No matter what the process was, in short, the task force smashed the alien conspiracy to invade Mars and successfully defended Mars.

When the news came out, the Earth and the expeditionary force breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The Nanzhou fleet also received the news. After Gao Kai knew about this, he almost led the fleet to sail to Ceres and fight the enemy again... It was so frustrating. Mars could withstand it, so why would Ceres be able to withstand it? Do you have to give up?

However, no matter how angry Gao Kai was, he could not disobey his superiors' orders and could only apply for a counterattack on Ceres over and over again.

He originally just wanted to show his determination to counterattack Ceres, but he didn't expect to receive a reply from above. It probably meant that he was studying it and would make a formal decision in the near future.

The military did not let Gao Kai wait long. Just a few hours later, Gao Kai received a notice to officially launch Ceres' counterattack plan.

In view of the actual situation of the Nanzhou Fleet, the military decided to allocate materials from Mars to support the Nanzhou Fleet.

Gao Kaile almost jumped up. Mars won the battle. There was no need for the two battle groups to be tied to Mars. Is this the rhythm of sending all the troops to counterattack Ceres?

It has to be said that Gao Kai really thought too much. The military had no plans to move the Mars fleet at all. It only allocated a dozen transport ships and sent a large amount of weapons and equipment, as well as supplies for repairing warships, and two more. Thousands of servants.

Gao Kai was surprised when he got the supply list. There were only 40,000 soldiers in total, half of them stayed on Ceres, and the other half followed the Jizhou to Jupiter. Where did Mars show up with 20,000 soldiers? Did the Earth just send it?

Well, it should have just been sent. After the task force arrived at Mars, the transport ships between Earth and Mars have not been interrupted. What does it mean to send a group of servants here?

With this thought, Gao Kai felt relieved. Ceres, the reinforcements patiently waiting for the arrival of Mars, was not close to Mars, and they would have to wait for at least a month. There was no rush for this.
