One Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety-Four Large-Scale Confrontation
Half an hour later, the expeditionary force's report was sent back to Beiyuezhou, and another half hour later, various military units, including the Lone Wolf, received the war situation report forwarded by Beiyuezhou.
After Ye Han carefully read the report, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. While he was glad that Lin Yi was fine, he was also worried about the situation facing the expeditionary force.
He really wanted to find someone to talk to and learn from each other's strengths to study the situation in the asteroid belt. However, the scope of communication of this report was military rank of lieutenant general and above, and he could not find anyone around him who could discuss it.
There are a few people in Beichenzhou who are high-level, but they are all base officers and logistics personnel. They don't know how to command the fleet at all. Even if they get together, they can't come up with a solution. In the end, Ye Han can only think about it quietly by himself. .
Two comets in succession harbor enemy ships, so are the other comets flying towards the sun also being used by aliens?
He immediately checked recent astronomical data and found that the total number of comets this year was significantly higher than in previous years.
There is currently no evidence that these comets are related to aliens, but Ye Han believes that any comet that has been close to Saturn may have been used by aliens. Extending this inference, even if the comet is not close to Saturn, it may be used by aliens. The fleet sent by people took advantage of it.
In short, from now on, all celestial bodies from the outer solar system must be on guard.
This is very necessary, but the actual operation is not that easy - small comets can also be eliminated with nuclear bombs, but what about large comets? What about other small celestial bodies?
If aliens throw a large number of dirty snowballs into the inner solar system, humans will inevitably deploy a large number of fleets to deal with external threats. Regardless of whether there are enemy ships in these comets, they will hold back a large number of human warships, and the situation facing humans will inevitably worsen.
Moreover, it is not only comets that can hide a large number of enemy ships that need to be guarded against. Small celestial bodies that can only hide a few enemy ships must also be included in the ranks of prevention, otherwise the accumulation of a small amount will become a big threat.
No matter which angle you look at it, this is an extremely severe test.
The more Ye Han thought about it, the more worried he became. He immediately wrote down his thoughts and sent them back to Beiyuezhou for the headquarters' reference... One person is smarter than others, and Beiyuezhou's original intention of spreading this news is to solicit opinions.
After receiving feedback from the entire army, Bei Yuezhou launched a small-scale discussion on possible situations and formulated several contingency plans based on the results of the discussion.
This matter is directly related to the expeditionary force, but Wu Han still believes that Beiyuezhou is far behind and does not understand the situation in front.
We should not dictate to the Expeditionary Force, so we only informed the Expeditionary Force of the discussion content, and it was still up to the Expeditionary Force to decide what to do.
Before Duan Zhiyang received a reply from Bei Yuezhou, he began to adjust his fleet, mobilize more warships, and launch operations from all directions to intercept the enemy with all his strength.
There are hundreds of enemy ships in the comet. They are a powerful force that the enemy cannot give up. No matter why those warships cannot move, they cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy!
With this concept in mind, the expeditionary force went all out. The warships involved in the interception included one super battleship, eight super gunboats and three space carriers. The total number of warships was nearly half of the expeditionary force!
In Duan Zhiyang's words, he would rather leave holes in the battle line than give priority to destroying the enemy ships in the comet!
The expeditionary force's actions aroused a strong response from the Second Turkish Fleet. A large number of enemy ships that originally planned to break through the asteroid belt turned around and gathered towards the comet; a large number of enemy ships also launched operations against the expeditionary force's warships. .
The first things to attract the attention of aliens were Yangguan and Jianmenguan.
After receiving the order, the Yangguan immediately gave up its original target and adjusted its direction to intercept another group of enemy ships.
Its position is very good. It cuts directly towards the enemy forces flying to the comet. When it reaches the enemy's route, it can just block the group of enemy ships.
The enemy only has a dozen or so warships, and the Yangguan can handle it completely - with the Ningwuguan Jinyu in front, the other ships are all holding their breath, waiting for a big fight with the enemy.
However, the distance between the two sides was not close, and it would take the Yangguan, flying at full speed, six days to reach the interception coordinates.
The same goes for human warships in other directions. It can take anywhere from three to four days to more than ten days. Even the fastest Huo Qubing will take some time to reach the comet.
But how can the expeditionary force's movements be concealed from the aliens? The human warships had just started taking action, and the aliens also began to mobilize their troops.
Take Yangguan, for example. Half an hour after receiving the order, another group of enemy ships was discovered on the flank. According to the speed and direction determined by our side, this group of enemy ships will arrive at Comet in fourteen days.
Their route was in another direction, but it was also within the interception range of the Yangguan. Except for the Yangguan, other human warships had no time to intercept.
But the two groups of enemy ships are located in two directions. The Yangguan can only intercept one of the enemy ships, but the other group has no time to intercept!
The situation encountered by the Jianmen Pass was somewhat similar. Its target was closer to the comet, but instead of a breakthrough from both sides, the enemy assembled more than 20 alien warships and cut directly into the interception route of the Jianmen Pass, intending to launch an attack. Anti-interception!
The combat effectiveness of the super gunboats has long been tested in battles. These more than 20 enemy ships are definitely no match for the Jianmenguan, but the enemy does not need to destroy the Jianmenguan at all. The speeds of both sides are similar. These enemy ships can definitely Use scattered attack tactics to hold back Jianmen Pass.
As long as the aliens do not want a decisive battle, they can drag the battle on forever. It is not a problem to drag it for ten days and a half. It will drag the interception target of Jianmenguan until it crosses the interception line, leaving one or two alien warships to send it off. After the Jianmenguan is destroyed, the remaining warships can break away from contact. At only a small cost, the group of alien warships can successfully pass the interception.
These two warships were not the only ones to encounter similar situations. Other warships mobilized by Duan Zhiyang also encountered crazy interceptions from aliens. Even warships that did not participate in this battle were targeted by the Second Turkish Foreign Fleet.
Post-war statistics show that from the beginning of this battle around the comet, the front lines of both sides reached a record-breaking length of more than 70 million kilometers. The two sides launched a large-scale confrontation around breakthrough and counter-breakthrough, interception and counter-interception.
Although the two sides have not yet directly engaged in battle, it can be judged from the fleets mobilized by both the enemy and ourselves that once this battle continues to ferment, it is likely to end up being a large-scale battle in which the scale, intensity, and battle losses far exceed expectations!
The expeditionary force only has such a small amount of money and cannot afford to deal with it. Even if the expeditionary force destroys half of the Second Fleet, it will not be worth the loss for mankind.
Duan Zhiyang believed that this was probably what the aliens wanted to see, and quickly made the decision that the fight could not continue.
