One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Seven Overt Conspiracy

The defenders had already prepared response plans for various situations. The two fleets had also conducted several offensive and defensive drills. When the alien fleet was found to be shooting at the blind spot of the artillery array, Xuzhou and Discovery simultaneously judged that the enemy was about to attack, and led the fleets to the predetermined positions separately to prepare for the enemy.

After the aliens threw the asteroid out, the two fleets immediately opened fire to intercept it. To be on the safe side, they not only launched missiles, but also launched several nuclear magnetic shells at the asteroid.

Asteroids are not warships. They cannot turn, intercept, or change speed. As long as the direction and speed of the asteroid are calculated, it is not difficult to hit the asteroid.

How can the aliens watch the asteroid being destroyed by humans? The alien fleet split into several teams without hesitation, and each team followed an asteroid.

"This is using asteroids as shields!" Ye Han commented.

He really wanted to ask the aliens, do you really think this thing can block human missiles and shells?

The answer is of course no, but it is really no big deal to block lasers.

In this way, the two sides launched their first battle around the asteroid that hit Mars. The aliens tried their best to intercept human missiles and shells, while humans focused on the alien warships. Only when they really couldn't find the target did they turn the muzzle to the asteroid.

On the battlefield, lasers were flying back and forth, and missiles and shells were flying back and forth, but both sides were very cautious and carefully stayed out of the effective range of the enemy. The battle seemed fierce, but the actual damage was not much.

To be precise, this was not a direct exchange of fire, but only an indirect confrontation.

Neither the enemy nor us was a novice on the battlefield for the first time, and the commanders on both sides were also very careful, and neither side showed any flaws. Soon after, the asteroids were destroyed one by one by nuclear bombs. The aliens realized that it was impossible to do anything, so they decisively withdrew from the battle, and the first round of confrontation between the two sides ended in vain. Afterwards, the commanders of both sides were very dissatisfied with the result of this battle. The aliens did not achieve the established combat objectives, and humans failed to destroy the alien warships.

It is true that neither side suffered a loss, but in other words, neither side took advantage. It would be strange if the commanders of both sides were satisfied. Some even thought that they would rather lose a battle than hang in the air.

The alien fleet took the initiative to retreat, and there was no sign of attack for the time being. The Martian defenders were weak and had no ability to take the initiative to attack. The situation was deadlocked at the beginning of the Mars battle.

Everyone believed that when the next wave of alien fleets arrived on Mars, it would be the time for the enemy to launch another round of attack.

The next wave of enemy ships has always been the focus of monitoring by the defenders. If nothing unexpected happens, this enemy will arrive on Mars in about half a month.

At this time, the defenders should have actively prepared for war, but they had already prepared everything that could be prepared. Now all they can do is wait patiently.

A few days later, before the next wave of enemy troops arrived on Mars, the Jizhou battle group flew to Jupiter first. The international fleet with the Enterprise as the core only had two days of sailing left, and the fifth Jupiter battle was about to begin.

However, the battle that will take place on Jupiter has nothing to do with Mars. The only mission of the Mars Task Force is to defend Mars.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed. The third wave of enemy ships finally approached Mars, but the defenders found that this wave of enemy ships had reached the time to slow down, but no enemy ship slowed down, but continued to speed up.
