$1531 Lunar Bait

Gao Kai was finally persuaded by Huo Qiang, and asked helplessly in a low voice: "Commander, what do you need me to do?"

He had understood that Huo Qiang was not unaware of the danger, but he chose the lesser of two evils, and this was deliberately luring the Tuwai fleet to attack the moon.

Huo Qiang said: "I need you to continue to rush to the second interception point, and the rest will depend on the situation. I order you to follow the order no matter what happens. Can you do it?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, wait for my order!"

"Yes!"

After the communication ended, Gao Kai's face was full of worries. Duan Zhiyang wanted to ask clearly, but after seeing Gao Kai's expression, he hesitated and finally gave up the idea of ​​getting to the bottom of it.

He was just the captain of the Sirius. Gao Kai would take the initiative to tell him what he should know, and it would be useless to ask what he shouldn't know.

Time passed little by little, the speed of the reserve fleet was getting faster and faster, and there was no intention of stopping at all, while the Tuwai fleet was still not in a hurry.

Huo Qiang also made preparations during this time. All the personnel who were originally left on the ground were evacuated underground. The positions on the moon were either remote controlled or program controlled, so there was no need for personnel to hold on.

One hour and twenty-seven minutes later, more than half of the dead insect swarm flew to the moon, and the round-headed insect machine flying in the front rushed to the moon like a missile.

Various weapons deployed on the moon opened fire one after another, and various anti-aircraft guns, laser guns and short-range missiles were intercepted at the same time. The beams and barrages covered the sky, and the strong light that burst out from time to time dispelled the darkness, making everything invisible.

The firing height of short-range missiles is also more than ten kilometers. The missiles are equipped with ordinary neutron bombs. Although this thing can only kill insect machines, it cannot erase insect machines, but dead insect machines can only rely on luck even if they crash into the moon, while living insect machines can choose targets.

From the perspective of humans, dead insect machines are like indiscriminate carpet bombing, and living insect machines are like precision-guided bombs. The combat efficiency is one in the sky and the other in the ground. There is a big difference here.

Moreover, the area around the moon is a vacuum, and there is no air to weaken the speed of the neutron flow, which can maximize the killing effect of the neutron bomb.

Despite the full efforts of the ground positions, some insects still broke through the defense network and crashed into the surface of the moon.

The relative speed between the insect and the moon is about nine kilometers per second. Each collision is equivalent to a large-caliber artillery shell.

It is okay to fall on the wild, but once it hits the lunar position, it will definitely destroy everything it hits.

The first wave of insects that landed had already died, and there were tens of thousands of them.

The lunar air defense position was still very powerful. With all kinds of weapons, more than half of the first wave of insects were killed. In the end, less than two thousand insects broke through the fire network.

These insects fell without any rules, and one side of the moon was full of holes... The moon was originally a pockmarked face covered with craters, and a few more impact craters were nothing.

The situation was the same as Huo Qiang had expected. The dead bugs were not a threat at all. With so many bugs falling, they only hit two mines in the end, and the specific loss was only one mine car.

The trouble was the subsequent live bugs. The second round of swarms was still dominated by dead bugs, but there were also some live bugs hidden. They all aimed at the lunar positions. After breaking through the defense network, they immediately crashed into them without any care, causing considerable losses to the defenders, losing more than 7,000 sets of laser cannons and more than 120 missile launchers.

The number of bugs that fell into the artillery array was very small, but they could not withstand the high density of laser launchers. Every time a bug fell, hundreds of launchers were destroyed.

This was the result of the artillery fire protecting the super cannon first.

The super cannon was also firing continuously, but the swarm was too close, and the artillery array no longer fired in unison, but more than a hundred launchers were a unit, each unit had a target, and they kept firing at the bugs in the air. Every shot could kill several bugs, which can be said to be the mainstay of the entire air defense network.

The role of the super cannon was too prominent and conspicuous, so it attracted the attention of the swarm. The surviving insect machines directly abandoned other targets and crashed into the super cannon array.

Laser launchers can be withdrawn underground, but the artillery array is the main force of ground firepower. Once the artillery array stops firing, the anti-aircraft firepower will be weakened by more than half, and it is even possible that the ground position will collapse due to insufficient firepower. Therefore, no matter how great the loss is, Huo Qiang is unwilling to withdraw the artillery array.

His decision was questioned by some observers, but no one raised any objections.

It's not that they don't want to, but that they can't.

This matter is a bit strange, because Beidu has fully cooperated with Washington, and even the command of the fleet has been merged, but the lunar position is still managed by each side.

Although the two sides have deep cooperation, they each have their own secrets. If they have deep cooperation even on the lunar surface, those secrets that have been hidden will not be hidden.

For example, the defense deployment of Beiyuezhou, such as the details of Nanyuezhou.

Both sides had concerns, and after a series of consultations, they finally reached an agreement: cooperation was limited to the fleet, and the ground positions were only coordinated at the command level, not under the unified command of the joint command.

In other words, the observation group had the right to question any orders related to the fleet, but had no right to interfere with Huo Qiang's command of the Chinese ground positions, such as the super artillery array.

The confrontation between the two sides lasted for twelve minutes. There were no less than 200,000 insect machines rushing to the moon, and 40,000 to 50,000 finally broke through the blockade. Many lunar positions were destroyed by insect machines, and both Beiyuezhou and the international base suffered heavy losses.

At this critical juncture, a fleet of Tuwai arrived in the lunar orbit.

At this time, the reserve fleet was far away from the moon, but it was still rushing to the second interception point.

The first fleet of the Tuwai fleet suddenly slowed down and stopped at an altitude of 380,000 kilometers. The second fleet of the Tuwai fleet, which was tens of thousands of kilometers away, also showed signs of slowing down.

This situation immediately attracted Huo Qiang's attention. He knew very well that the aliens must have done it on purpose, just to see how humans would respond. If the reserve fleet was withdrawn, the Tuwai fleet would definitely merge with the two teams to deal with the main force of the joint fleet together.

We must never give the enemy a chance to merge!

Huo Qiang had made up his mind long ago, so he immediately issued a new order to the reserve fleet, reiterating the previous order and requiring the reserve fleet to continue to rush to the second interception point.

At this moment, the second interception point has been raised from 194,000 kilometers to 217,000 kilometers. Many people think this is not a good thing, including Huo Qiang. The adjustment of the interception point is because the second fleet of the Tuwai fleet slowed down. In other words, the initiative on the battlefield has always been in the hands of the aliens, which itself means passivity and weakness.

Huo Qiang wanted to be stronger, but humans simply did not have that strength. It was good enough to be able to defend, so how could they have the capital to be strong? His only idea now was to use the moon to hold the aliens back and wait for the fleet to return to attack them from both sides.
