One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy-Three 1 Good Abacus

After the meeting, the Jizhou officially issued an order to march to Jupiter. The Jizhou battle group, Youzhou battle group, Taizhou battle group, Qingzhou battle group and Yangzhou battle group set off immediately. No matter whether the battle group was scattered or assembled, and no matter where the warships were, each ship turned around as soon as it received the order and flew to Jupiter at full speed.

At the same time, the international fleet with the Enterprise as the core also launched an action. Two powerful human fleets rushed to Mars from two directions. Such a conspicuous action immediately aroused the aliens' strong vigilance.

Space cannot conceal the whereabouts. The actions of both the enemy and us are in each other's eyes. The aliens immediately judged that the human target is Jupiter.

This news immediately shocked the alien high-level, and the aliens immediately mobilized the troops in the asteroid belt to encircle and suppress the invading human fleet.

After receiving the order, the originally scattered enemy ships quickly assembled, and even flew directly in front of the human fleet, blocking Jupiter behind them.

The alien warships were simply moths to the flame. The high-level of the human fleet wanted to raise both hands to agree, and wanted to inform the aliens and tell them that the more they come, the better.

But the aliens were not stupid. After discovering this situation, they immediately ordered the alien fleet blocking the way to give way, and repeatedly emphasized that the human fleet was not allowed to be intercepted.

It was not that they did not want to intercept, but they could not stop one or half a ship at all, and it was just a waste of warships.

Temporarily forbearing in order to strike a fatal blow, the aliens set up several assembly points on the left and right of the human fleet's route, and ordered the scattered alien warships to rush to the assembly points as quickly as possible.

The aliens' actions could not be hidden from humans, but Huo Qiang, who received the news, was very surprised.

He thought that the aliens would withdraw the fleet sent to Mars, but the aliens seemed to have forgotten this fleet and had no intention of withdrawing it.

Faced with this situation, Huo Qiang immediately ordered the fleet to launch a counterattack-although the enemy gave way to the route, it only gave way to the route in front of the main force, and the enemy ships in other directions did not withdraw.

Although there were many human warships heading to Jupiter, only the three battle groups of Jizhou, Youzhou and Taizhou gathered together, and the Qingzhou and Yangzhou battle groups had not been able to regroup.

Although there are only 22 warships in the two battle groups, the distribution range of these warships is very large. It is impossible to assemble them in a short time, so they can only start from the current position of each ship.

The assembled fleet is not easy to deal with, but the scattered warships are different. The aliens did not hesitate to set their sights on these warships and ordered the alien fleet to intercept them with all their strength. Enemy ships can be found in front of each lone human warship.

There are three or two ships at least, and five or six ships at most. They are determined not to give up until they achieve their goal.

This is just the beginning. A few days later, Jizhou found that the situation was more serious than expected. The enemy actually gave up the idea of ​​blocking the battle group. The alien warships that were originally assembled in front of the main force were all dispersed and turned to intercept the lone human warships.

"It's a good calculation!" Huo Qiang commented lightly after reading the report.

That being said, Huo Qiang did not mean to underestimate the enemy at all. He immediately found Zhuang Bo and Wu Han. The three of them got together to carefully study the current situation and discuss ways to break the deadlock.

Then the captains were called up, and everyone gathered in the virtual command center for war game simulation. Through the simulation, it was found that the situation was not optimistic. If no prepared measures were taken, 70% of the warships acting alone would be intercepted by the enemy.

There were only 55 warships in the five battle groups, and a quarter of the total was lost at once. There was no need to continue the next action. It would be better to withdraw directly to Earth.

The previous problem had not been solved yet, and there was another problem later. Huo Qiang received a report from Gao Kai that the enemy ships near Ceres were gathering, and the target was likely Ceres!

Gao Kai couldn't help but sigh that the previous predictions were broken one after another by the aliens. These bastards really didn't play by the rules.

The voyage between the main fleet and Jupiter was more than two months, but the enemy ships were not that far from Ceres. Half a month after the fleet set out, a group of enemy ships had assembled.

However, the enemy did not attack Ceres, but just stayed near Ceres with a covetous look, waiting for more alien warships to arrive.

Gao Kai could guess the aliens' thoughts without any analysis. They were simply afraid of the super cannon and wanted to gather more troops so that they could attack with all their strength and solve the problem of Ceres once and for all.

Gao Kai wanted to disrupt the aliens' intentions. The most direct way was to lead the fleet to take the initiative and take advantage of the opportunity when the number of enemy ships was not large to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

But the two battle groups left to him by Huo Qiang were too miserable. Even after more than half a month of repair, they only recovered 60% of their combat effectiveness. With the cover of the super cannon, they could definitely deal with the enemy for a while. If they left the range of the super cannon, it was hard to say whether they could be the opponent of this enemy.

In desperation, Gao Kai could only stay in Ceres depressed and watch the enemy slowly gather.

At this time, he finally understood why Huo Qiang did not give others a shot of prevention, but reminded him at the meeting. Obviously, he expected that it might come to this point and did not want to lose the two battle groups left behind.

Thinking of this, Huo Qiang simply ordered all the soldiers who had landed to evacuate, leaving only the servants on Ceres. In this way, even if Ceres was occupied by aliens, the losses could be minimized.

Of course, Gao Kai did not forget to leave some souvenirs for the aliens. Before the troops withdrew, they buried enough nuclear bombs in the ground base, underground space and under the super cannon. Once the aliens landed on Ceres, Gao Kai would detonate the nuclear bombs at the appropriate time. On the one hand, it would destroy the ground facilities and cause some trouble for the aliens who landed; on the other hand, it would increase the difficulty for the aliens to occupy Ceres, so that they had to start over.

In a blink of an eye, another ten days passed. The aliens near Ceres finally gathered enough warships, and more than 70 enemy ships approached Ceres.

The Nanzhou fleet has not been idle these days. The entire fleet has been repairing warships day and night, and the fleet's combat effectiveness has been restored to 80%.

Upon discovering the enemy approaching, Gao Kai immediately ordered all ships to be ready for battle. At the same time, he ordered all transport ships to evacuate Ceres. Regardless of whether they were unloaded or fully loaded, all transport ships must stay away from Ceres and stay away from dangerous airspace.

As for the safety of the transport ships, there is no need to worry. Although these big guys look clumsy, fully loaded transport ships can keep up with the pace of the main battleships. Empty transport ships are even easier to keep up with. The speed of full power is so fast that even if the aliens break their hips, they can't catch up.

At this point, the combat preparations of both sides are complete, and the war is about to begin.
