One Thousand Four Hundred and One There Is a Breakthrough
The development of the battle did not go as Ye Han expected. After the cloud of steel balls smashed into the insect swarm, many insect aircraft were hit by the steel balls. However, the distance between the two sides was still far, and the dispersion range of the steel balls was too large. Most of the insect aircraft that were hit were only Only a few were hit by two or more.
The steel ball is too small. As long as it misses the vital part of the insect machine, it will only cause minor injuries, just like a small cut on the human body. It will not affect the combat capability of the insect machine at all.
However, this was only the first round. The international fleet immediately adjusted its tactics. Each battle group no longer fired at the frontal insect swarm, but fired diagonally, forming crossfire with nearby friendly forces and attacking the insect swarm from the side.
This scene seemed familiar - not long ago, the Nanzhou fleet used this tactic, and now it is still effective.
After several rounds of super shotguns were fired, there were very few insect drones that had lost their combat capabilities. The total number of nine insect swarms was estimated to be several thousand.
The number is a little small, but mosquito legs are also meat. As long as it can kill the insect machine, it is a good weapon. It is enough to fire a few more shots and it will be over.
This is what the International Fleet thought and did. Ever since they received the order to fire, not a single warship has stopped firing, wanting to burn out all their stocks.
The dense steel balls also brought about the desired effect. After a while, the number of insect machines withdrawing from the battle approached the 10,000 mark.
However, the situation faced by the International Fleet did not improve at all, because later insect aircraft joined in one after another, which offset the results of the International Fleet.
We can't count on the super shotgun, so we have to think of other ways.
The most effective method is still nuclear bombs. The problem is that the insect drones are too scattered. Not to mention that the nuclear bombs cannot rush through the interception of the insect drones. Even if they can rush over, there are not many insect drones within the power range, and the effect will not be any better than the super shotgun. go.
If you want to kill a large number of insect drones, the most effective method is the light anti-cannon. That thing has a fast rate of fire and high accuracy, so it is the best choice for dealing with insect drones.
However, the range of the light-proof cannon is less than 200 kilometers. If the insect machine is allowed to rush to this position, the battleship will be in danger. If it fails, the insect machine will be full.
The range of the laser main gun is sufficient, but the problem is that the main gun is not as flexible as the close-in defense gun. It is okay if the insect drone stays in one position, but it is different like it is flying all over the sky now, except for the insect drone crashing into it. Beam, otherwise the chance of hitting is really not that high.
The situation is very difficult, and the international fleet has no good solution for the time being. Each battle group can only fire to delay time while moving closer to the Enterprise.
The speed of the insect swarm is much faster than that of the battle group. When the insect swarm chases the battle group, the latter must not have merged with the Enterprise... It will not be of much use if they merge. The aliens specially allocated a group of insect aircraft to deal with Enterprise. No. 1, when the time comes, the battle group will be united, and the insect aircraft will also be united. No one can tell how the situation will develop.
At present, the Jizhou fleet is still an hour away from arriving on the battlefield, so it cannot be of much help at all. And having said that, the Jizhou fleet will arrive immediately to face the impact of hundreds of thousands of insect planes, which means that it can help the international fleet mitigate the impact. It is still unknown whether a little pressure can turn the situation around.
Time passed little by little, and after more than ten minutes, the distance between the insect swarm and each battle group was only four to five thousand kilometers.
The electromagnetic guns of the International Fleet have not stopped, firing wave after wave of super shotguns. According to Ye Han's calculations, the remaining stocks of each ship are running out, and they can hold on for another three to five minutes at most.
The international fleet suddenly increased its firepower and launched a large number of missiles, and the number directly increased by several levels.
Ye Han couldn't help but perked up. Although he didn't understand what the International Fleet wanted to do, he knew that the International Fleet must have some plan for doing this. The most likely reason was to attract the firepower of the insect machine.
But is it too early to start at this time? What exactly is the International Fleet planning to do to break the situation?
While he was thinking about it, the missile that was halfway through the air exploded early before it could reach the range of the small light. The submersible warhead installed in the missile suddenly spread, giving the insect plane no chance to intercept it.
Ye Han couldn't help complaining in his heart,
These gringos were really tolerant, and they didn't take out the multi-warhead missiles until this moment... I just don't know how effective they will be.
It was a pity that the split-guided missile was useless and could not escape the interception of the insect aircraft.
Ye Han had a feeling that the aliens had thoroughly studied the missiles, and now the missiles could not play their intended role except attracting the enemy's firepower.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly bloomed in the insect swarm.
Ye Han's eyes suddenly widened, what's going on? Any missiles that slipped through the net?
Before the first bright light dissipated, the second bright light bloomed in the insect swarm, and then the bright light came one after another. For a while, the entire screen was filled with the bright light of nuclear explosions, leaving traces on the screen. A large spot of light slowly dissipated.
"Awesome!" Luo Qi pumped his fist excitedly, with inexplicable excitement on his face, and his eyes were radiant, as if he had seen a stunning beauty.
"Don't get too happy too early." He Lu said, "The insect machines are so scattered that they can't kill a few."
At this time, many light groups had dispersed. It was exactly what He Lu said. Only the insect drones near the explosion point were destroyed. On average, one nuclear bomb could kill twenty or thirty insect drones. Those who were less lucky would be able to kill them. Killing a dozen or so is considered good.
He Lu looked at Ye Han again: "Captain, so many nuclear bombs must not have leaked in, right?"
It's not strange for one missile to leak in, but it's strange for so many missiles to leak in at once.
Ye Han said: "It should be a cannon-launched missile. This thing is small and fast. It's not surprising that it didn't intercept it."
He Lu said: "It only killed a small amount, so what if we didn't intercept it?"
"You can't say that, can you?" Luo Qi said, "Blowing up one of them is better than wasting firepower."
He Lu gave a sneer: "It would be nice if we could delay it for a little longer. If you ask me, it's better to learn from the Nanzhou fleet and just use the battleships as bait, and then use shotguns to blast them."
Ye Han nodded and said: "It's an idea. It depends on whether the Americans have the courage."
There are too many insect drones, and a warship used as a bait if not operated properly will be doomed. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one will mess with a warship.
Luo Qi said: "Then it is better to just use the transport ship, and it won't hurt to throw it in."
The most valuable equipment of a transport ship is the power system. The rest, except for a small number of self-defense weapons, is all cargo space. The cost is only a fraction of that of a battleship. It is indeed a good material for use as bait.
He Lu glanced at Luo Qi: "You should follow the advice from the boss... Look, the explosion has stopped!"
Ye Han looked at the calm screen and sighed: "Not even nuclear bombs...what else can stop the bugs?"
