Six Hundred and Three Surrounded
Rainbow Bay.
Yan Jing finally made a decision to order the first team to continue to move forward and maintain the current course for the time being, but everyone including Yan Jing knew that the first team would not continue flying like this forever.
The speed of the first squad is very fast, much faster than the speed of the alien fleet, and it will not take long for the first squad to catch up with the retreating alien fleet.
But Squad 1 is just maintaining a pursuit posture. Randomly pick out a person on the two battleships, and they all know that the fleet cannot confront the alien fleet head-on, and it is only a matter of time before they turn and maneuver.
If possible, Yan Jing hoped that the fleet could reduce its speed and keep a certain distance from the retreating enemy, neither too close nor to relax the pursuit.
However, the design of the battleship limits the tactical play. The 024 only has a large number of propellers at the tail, and there is no bow braking engine at all. Braking in the previous way.
This is not the negligence of the designers, but with the current technical level, it is impossible to design a suitable braking engine, and the only feasible solution is to install braking rockets. It's just that the volume of the rocket will not be much smaller than the booster rocket used by the fleet when it set off. If you really install that thing on 024, it will push the displacement of 024 to more than 6,000 tons.
The key to air combat is to master the speed and altitude. The higher the mass, the greater the thrust required, but the electromagnetic engine is not powerful. No matter how you look at it, installing braking rockets for the 024 is not worth the candle.
If possible, Yan Jing would like to order the second team to find a satellite to hide for a while, and then catch Io by surprise, but for the same reason, even if he gave the order, the second team would not be able to carry it out.
Half an hour passed by in a hurry, and the second team finally saw Io rising behind Jupiter, but Io didn't intend to send a fleet to intercept it, which made Yan Jing very disturbed.
It is impossible for the aliens to ignore the second team, so what does it mean for the aliens to stand still?
Yan Jing couldn't figure out the joints involved, he gritted his teeth and didn't speak, the fleet continued to keep pressing every step of the way.
The distance between Team 1 and the alien fleet is far enough, and the alien battleship has a good acceleration ability. After another hour, Team 1 will not be able to catch up with the enemy.
Yan Jing believes that the current situation is more beneficial to the expeditionary fleet, and decides to keep it for a while.
Although the two sides have not been in contact for a while, everyone's nerves are tense, and they look around nervously.
The expeditionary fleet has already penetrated into the enemy's territory at this time,
There may be a sneak attack by the enemy at any time, and there is no harm in being cautious.
Forty minutes later, one hour and fifty minutes before the second team contacted Jupiter, the observers of the Rainbow Bay suddenly discovered that more than 20 alien warships had taken off from a certain satellite behind the first team.
Yan Jing immediately yelled that it was not good, and immediately ordered the observers to search the surrounding area carefully.
The observers quickly reported that alien fleets were found in the upper and lower directions on the starboard side, and the enemy army that was just retreating right in front of it had joined forces with the other two enemy forces and rushed towards the first squadron at an accelerated speed!
On the left side of the fleet is the gigantic Jupiter, and Jupiter orbiting Jupiter, which is the base camp of aliens, and there must be no good fruit to get close to.
There are alien fleets in the front, rear, and right and left directions, and the first team has been surrounded by alien fleets without knowing it.
Although the alien fleet has not moved in place yet, the mobility of the 024 class is limited, and it is impossible to break out of the encirclement before the aliens encircle. The only breakthrough is the front.
The frontal alien fleet is the strongest, and Yan Jing is not sure of breaking through the interception of the alien fleet.
In an instant, Yan Jing's heart was ashamed.
"Observation hand, how long is the contact?"
"Twenty minutes from the front, and about 40 minutes from the side and back."
The aliens probably have laid out this pocket long ago, just waiting for the expedition fleet to drill in. The only direction that seems to have a chance right now is Euro Zero.
Yan Jing regretted and hated at the same time, but the situation has developed to this point, the first team is already the fat that the aliens are about to put in their mouths, what is the use of regret?
At present, Jupiter seems to be the most promising direction to break the situation. Yan Jing believes without doubt that there must be an alien fleet waiting for him on Jupiter. take off.
When life and death are at stake, it is inevitable for individuals to hesitate, and Yan Jing is no exception. Fortunately, there is still a little time left for him. After just a few minutes, Yan Jing finally made a decision, and ordered in a deep voice: "One team, break through the encirclement head-on!"
front?
Everyone who heard the order was stunned, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Commander?" Wang Xiaolei was puzzled.
Yan Jing sighed: "Besides being positive, do we have any other options?"
Everyone fell silent.
The battleship can only run forward, where can it break through if it doesn't break through the front?
Yan Jing said again: "Order, the Luwan is approaching our ship. All commanders and fighters are ready to fight, and use all weapons for me. If we win, we will break out of the encirclement. If we lose, we will also break a few teeth of the aliens." !"
"Yes!" Everyone roared in unison, with momentum like a rainbow.
"Get ready!"
The two spaceships, which were already in combat readiness, immediately entered the combat state. The Dew Bay approached the Rainbow Bay, and the two warships kept a distance of only about 500 meters, keeping pace.
Two against fifty, the Rainbow Bay and the Dew Bay are like two moths flying towards the flames.
It's getting closer, it's getting closer, when the enemy ship enters the effective range of 1,200 kilometers, all the turrets on the two battleships are opened at the same time, the twenty double turrets on the bow fire at the same time, and forty lasers hit the enemy ship, The alien warships looked like sacks of lime that were constantly being beaten, billowing layers of smoke.
At the same time, a large number of missiles flew out from the belly of the two warships, the number was incalculable, and each missile rushed towards the enemy ship at full speed, dragging a faint trail of smoke.
The two warships fired half of the remaining missiles in one go, and the total number exceeded 200!
The flying speed of the missiles is much faster than that of the warships. The alien fleet seems to have noticed it and immediately opened up the distance. The missile group is still hundreds of kilometers away from the alien fleet. The tiny rays of light emitted by the alien warships form layers of fire. network.
The missile flying at the front crashed into the interception net, and was cut off by the first wave of interception fire.
Immediately afterwards, the second wave, and the third wave, more and more missiles were cut off by the thin light. Some missiles exploded into a ball of flames, some were damaged and then fell silent, and some turned into headless flies scurrying around.
The alien interception is very effective, but the speed of the missiles is no joke, and the alien fleet is rushing head-on towards the expedition fleet!
With the addition of the speeds of the two sides, the speed of the missiles flying towards the alien fleet is much higher than the interception speed. Every time they intercept, the missile group has to shorten the distance from the alien fleet.
