One Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-Nine There Are Loopholes

If the Jizhou fleet cannot capture Callisto after it arrives, and the two fleets join together, the fourteen battle groups will be the fourteen directions.

Ye Han wanted to see if the aliens would divide the light bugs into fourteen groups.

This time, the aliens were very rational and did not disperse the insect swarm. The insect swarm continued to move forward without any distractions, with no intention of dividing their troops.

As long as the positions are reasonable, five groups of light bugs are enough to control the sky of Callisto. Are the aliens planning to fight to the death?

After another half an hour, the battle group of the international fleet had controlled half of the sky on Callisto. After the insect swarm ran for a full hour, its speed dropped significantly, but the progress was only a little slower than the fleet group.

Whether they were tired of waiting or deliberately testing, the International Fleet suddenly launched another round of attacks. This time it was launched from nine directions at the same time. It was still a classic combination of missiles and artillery shells.

As soon as a move was made here, the insect swarm immediately stopped advancing and quickly gathered to prepare to intercept. After the missile shells flew into the range, several insect swarms opened fire one after another.

But this time it was different from the past. There were too many directions of attack, and the insect swarm was obviously unable to cope with it. Although all the missiles were blocked, a few shells were missed. One of them hit the insect swarm, killing at least a hundred people. Multiple light bugs.

The International Fleet is a chokehold, so why isn't it a nuclear bomb?

Not only this one, but also other artillery missiles do not carry nuclear warheads.

This is because the international fleet is not yet sure whether this round of attacks can break through the interception. It is obviously a waste to use nuclear bombs. Conventional ammunition must be used. Whenever a flaw is discovered, it is not too late to use nuclear bombs.

The success of this artillery shell gave the international fleet a shot of stimulant. The artillery fire that had just stopped resumed instantly and became more violent. Countless artillery shells and missiles were thrown down one after another. A fool with a lot of money just wanted to use artillery shells to hit him. Damn your nouveau riche attitude.

The swarm of bugs on the ground remained unhurried and stayed firmly there. They first copied all the incoming missiles, and then all the light bugs ran away and quickly changed their positions.

Their speed was very fast, and it only took a few tens of seconds to run several kilometers. By the time the shells fell, the target had changed from the insect swarm to the open wasteland.

Artillery shells fell like raindrops, leaving the wasteland in a mess. Then a nuclear bomb fell. The wasteland was instantly shrouded in strong light, and the earth shook violently. Even light bugs a few kilometers away were not immune. All light bugs whose legs and feet touched the ground were It was so shaken that it floated off the ground, like nuts flying up and down in a wok.

However, the lightworms had already escaped the range of the nuclear bomb, and the vibration did not cause any harm to the lightworms. Not only were they fine after they landed, they immediately organized themselves, fired into the sky, and continued to intercept missiles.

Just like that, several swarms of light bugs were driven around by human firepower. The escaping light bugs were able to fire several cannons into the sky. As a result, none of the missiles could land, but the cannonballs fell quite happily. Just none of them hit the target.

But it doesn't matter. This small problem cannot trouble professional soldiers. The international fleet immediately improved its tactics and no longer aimed at the insect swarm. Instead, it took into account factors such as the directional speed and direction change of the insect swarm. The swarm opened fire, and also fired in the direction where the swarm might be escaping.

Now the insect swarm is doomed. First, the Constellation and the Intrepid worked together, and the shells smashed into the insect swarm one after another. Then the nuclear bombs fell one by one. In the blink of an eye, a single insect swarm crippled the international fleet. Six or seven At least half of the ten thousand light bugs were killed, and the rest were either severely burned or barely surviving. It would be good if only one tenth survived.

Neither the Constellation nor the Intrepid planned to hold back. After destroying the insect swarm, they replenished a batch of cannonballs and stopped contentedly until all the light bugs were killed.

However, in just a few minutes, the insect swarm labeled No. 3 was completely destroyed. If the giant insect army also had a number, the fate of the No. 3 insect swarm would definitely be that the number was cancelled.

A single breakthrough led to the overall situation. The Bainbridge and Saratoga also broke through the insect swarm's defense and killed more than half of the No. 4 insect swarm. If the nuclear bomb had not landed a little off,

The No. 4 insect swarm will definitely end up being wiped out.

As if realizing that the situation was not good, the remaining insect swarm suddenly gave up resistance. The originally gathered insects instantly turned into birds and beasts and dispersed. All the light insects struggled to move their legs, or jumped or ran to escape with all their strength.

The purpose of the insect swarm is very simple, to disperse quickly and not to gather together. In this way, no matter the artillery missiles, they can't even think of killing a large group of giant insects with one shot.

This move is indeed a good way to deal with air attacks, but the insect swarm is too concentrated and cannot be easily dispersed. The international fleet went all out and smashed tens of thousands of them in just a few dozen seconds. The shells killed one-quarter to one-fifth of the fleeing light bugs... The scene was so chaotic that it was impossible to calculate the detailed results.

After a while, the giant bugs were no longer found on the ground. The international fleet, which had been wandering outside the safe zone for a year, quickly approached Callisto and continued to beat the light bugs' ass.

An unexpected situation occurred again. The light bugs dispersed, but they only dispersed (four beeps) and not dispersed (three beeps). When missiles appeared in the air again, all the light bugs stopped again, raised their butts and started to intercept. .

However, this time the light bugs were too scattered, and the thin light could not be gathered together, let alone the range bonus. The result was that the interception was all about blind cats and blind mice. They fired a lot, but they didn't shoot down a few missiles.

Perhaps realizing that the scattered lightworms could no longer stop the missiles, or perhaps because the aliens did not want to make unnecessary sacrifices, the insect swarm suddenly gave up interception. All the lightworms looked for a way out, and some found a nearby hole and went in. Drill; some just find a hole and dig in; others run away, not caring whether there are shells falling above their heads.

The battle turned into a one-sided massacre. Ye Han was finally sure that there were only more than 300,000 lightworms on Callisto. Otherwise, if the war had reached this point, the aliens would have revealed their hidden methods. .

At this time, a group of insect drones suddenly appeared on the edge of Callisto. At first, there were only a few dozen, but after just a moment, there was a large group, and then an overwhelming swarm of insect drones came out.

Not just on the edge of Callisto, wherever the insect drones fly, holes in the ground will open, and insect drones will fly into the sky one after another, and the insect drones will grow bigger and bigger like a snowball.

Neither Ye Han nor anyone else could count how many insect drones there were, and even the battleship's scanning equipment was powerless. They were like swarms of locusts swooping on crops, rushing toward battleships in the air regardless.

The light bug can only lie on the ground, but the bug machine is flying in the sky, which is not a dangerous level at all.
