One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Seven Overt Conspiracy
The defenders had already made plans to deal with various situations. The two fleets had also conducted several offensive and defensive drills. When they discovered that the alien fleet was shooting at the artillery array in a blind spot, the Xuzhou and Discovery simultaneously made signals that the enemy was about to attack. Make a judgment, lead the fleet separately and rush to the predetermined position, and be ready to meet 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 fired several nuclear magnetic artillery shells at the asteroid.
An asteroid is not a battleship. It cannot turn, intercept or change speed. As long as the direction and speed of the asteroid are calculated, it is not difficult to kill the asteroid.
How can aliens watch asteroids being destroyed by humans? Without hesitation, the alien fleet split into several squadrons, each followed by an asteroid.
"This is using an asteroid as a shield!" 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 there is really no big problem if you can block the laser.
In this way, the two sides started the first battle around the asteroid hitting Mars. The aliens tried their best to intercept the human missiles and shells, while the humans focused on targeting the alien warships. Only when they could not find the target, they would use their cannons. The mouth turned towards the asteroid.
Lasers flashed back and forth on the battlefield, and missiles and artillery shells flew back and forth. However, both sides were very cautious and stayed out of the enemy's effective range. The battle seemed fierce, but the actual losses were not much.
To be precise, this was not a direct exchange of fire, but only an indirect confrontation.
Neither the enemy nor we were new brothers returning to the battlefield for the first time, and the commanders on both sides were very careful, and no flaws were revealed on either side. Soon after, the asteroids were destroyed by nuclear bombs one by one. The aliens understood that nothing could be done and decisively withdrew from the battle. The first round of confrontation between the two sides ended without any problem.
Afterwards, the commanders of both sides were very dissatisfied with the outcome of the battle. The aliens failed to achieve the established combat objectives, and humans failed to destroy the alien warships.
It is true that neither side suffered a loss, but to put it another way, neither side took advantage. It would be strange if the commanders on both sides were satisfied. Some would rather fight a painful defeat than hang in the air like this. idea.
The alien fleet retreated voluntarily, and there was no sign of attack for the time being. However, the Mars defenders were weak and did not have the ability to take the initiative. At the beginning of the Mars battle, the situation fell into a stalemate.
Everyone believes that when the next wave of alien fleets arrives on Mars, it will be the time for the enemy to launch another round of attack.
The next wave of enemy ships has always been the key monitoring target of the defenders. If nothing goes wrong, this enemy force will arrive on Mars in about half a month.
At this time, the defenders should have actively prepared for war, but those who could prepare had already finished preparing. All they can do now is wait patiently.
A few days later, before the next wave of enemy troops reached Mars, the Jizhou battle group flew to Jupiter first. The international fleet with the Enterprise as the core only had two days left to sail, and the fifth Battle of Jupiter was about to begin.
However, the upcoming battle on Jupiter has nothing to do with Mars. The only mission of the Mars Task Force is to defend Mars.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than ten days, and the third wave of enemy ships finally approached Mars. However, the defenders discovered that this wave of enemy ships had reached the time to slow down, but none of the enemy ships slowed down, and instead continued to accelerate.
Xuzhou and Discovery immediately held a round of emergency consultations. Both parties agreed that there were two possibilities. One was to increase the speed of the asteroid without slowing down, thereby increasing the impact power of the asteroid; the other was to have alien logging Not on Mars.
If the aliens had the first idea, the defenders would be nothing more than soldiers coming to block the water and earth. If the aliens had the second idea, then the situation would be serious.
The two battle groups immediately made preparations.
A few days later, the enemy army approached Mars and shook off the asteroids in the team millions of kilometers away from Mars. Then the enemy army circled behind Mars. Looking at their speed and orbit, they actually wanted to use Mars. Gravity speeds up!
What annoyed the defenders even more was that the speed of this enemy force was neither fast nor slow.
If the speed is faster, the exhausted defenders will not be able to catch up and can only watch the enemy troops flying towards the earth; on the contrary, if the speed is slower, the situation will be exactly the opposite. Before this enemy army can cross Mars, it will be defended. The army stopped.
The situation couldn't be more obvious. The aliens are doing this to show the Mars task force. If the defenders intercept, they must leave Mars. But if they don't intercept, this enemy force will fly directly to the earth.
It was the lesser of two evils. Faced with this situation, the defenders had to intercept with all their strength no matter how reluctant they were. After confirming the enemy's situation, the two fleets set off at the same time, leaving Mars aside and intercepting with all their strength.
"This is a conspiracy!" Ye Han gritted his teeth after receiving the news, "These bastards are quite advanced, and they even know how to use their brains."
"What should we do?" Luo Qi was worried, "Why are the two battle groups following? This is great. Mars has only the super cannon left. Can it withstand the enemy's attack?"
"You have to carry it even if you can't bear it." Ye Han said, "No matter how important Mars is, how important is the earth?"
The aliens did pose a problem for the Mars defenders, but they only knew which one was more important, Mars or Earth. There was no need to guess at the choice of the fleet. They must give priority to intercepting the enemy.
The consequences of aliens occupying Mars have been discussed many times. Now that the speculation is about to become a reality, everyone's heart is heavy.
The enemy threw the asteroid towards Mars, which had already started the signal to attack, but the Mars Task Force had to leave at this most critical time, which was simply adding insult to injury.
The task force had just left Mars when the third wave of enemy troops began to accelerate. Anyone who was not blind could see that the enemy was intentionally taking the human fleet away.
Two days later, the asteroid thrown at Mars flew closer, and the first two waves of enemy troops that had been hovering near Mars followed the asteroid and launched another round of attacks on Mars.
The enemy troops followed the asteroid not only to seek cover, but also to shoulder the important task of adjusting the direction of the asteroid, so as to prevent these disobedient weapons from deviating from the direction at the last moment.
Probably because the distance was too far when the asteroid was thrown, the speed and angle were not very accurate, and the asteroid group did not fly into the shooting blind spot as the aliens planned, but entered the shooting range of Phobos.
A super cannon is enough to give the aliens a good drink, but when the house leaks, it rains all night. The asteroid group and the enemy ships have entered the range, but the artillery array of Phobos is facing Mars, and there is no shooting angle at all. It will take at least half an hour to turn to the right direction.
This is fucking ridiculous. Even God is on the aliens' side. After waiting for more than half an hour, the asteroid hit the ground!
