At the end of the meeting, the Jizhou officially issued an order to march to Jupiter, and the Jizhou battle group, Youzhou battle group, Taizhou battle group, Qingzhou battle group and Yangzhou battle group immediately set off, no matter whether the battle group was dispersed or assembled, and no matter where the battleships were, each ship turned around as soon as possible after receiving the order and flew towards Jupiter at full speed.

At the same time, the international fleet with Enterprise as the core also launched an operation, and two powerful human fleets rushed to Mars from two directions, and such a conspicuous action immediately aroused the strong vigilance of the aliens.

Space cannot hide its whereabouts, the actions of both friend and foe are in each other's eyes, and the aliens immediately judge that the target of mankind is Jupiter.

This news immediately shook the alien high-level, and the aliens immediately mobilized the forces in the asteroid belt to encircle and suppress the invading human fleet.

After receiving the order, the originally scattered enemy ships quickly assembled, and even flew directly in front of the human fleet, blocking Jupiter behind them.

The alien battleship is simply a moth to a fire, and the upper echelons of the human fleet are eager to raise their hands in approval, eager to give the aliens a breath and tell them that the more they come, the better.

But the aliens are not stupid, and after discovering this situation, they immediately ordered the alien fleet that was blocking the way to get out of the way, and repeatedly emphasized that it was not allowed to intercept the human fleet.

It's not that I don't want to intercept it, but one and a half can't be stopped at all, it's just a waste of battleships.

In order to kill the human fleet, the aliens set up several assembly points around the route of the human fleet, and ordered the scattered alien warships to rush to the assembly points as quickly as possible.

The actions of the aliens can't hide from humans, but Huo Qiang, who received the news, was very surprised.

He thought that the aliens would withdraw the fleet sent to Mars, but the aliens seemed to have forgotten about this fleet, and had no intention of withdrawing.

Faced with this situation, Huo Qiang immediately ordered the fleet to launch a counterattack - although the enemy forces got out of the way, they only gave way to the route in front of the main force, and the enemy ships in other directions did not withdraw.

Although there are many human warships heading for Jupiter, only the three battle groups of Jizhou, Youzhou and Taizhou are gathered together, and the Qingzhou and Yangzhou battle groups have not been able to regroup.

Don't look at the fact that there are only 22 warships in the two battle groups, but the distribution range of these warships is very large, and it is impossible to assemble them in a short time, so they can only start from the current position of each ship.

The assembled fleet is not easy to deal with, but the scattered warships are different, the aliens did not hesitate to hit these warships, and ordered the alien fleet to intercept them with all their might, and every lone human warship could find enemy ships in front of them, as few as three or two, as many as five or six, with a posture of not giving up until the goal was achieved.

This was just the beginning, a few days later, the Jizhou found that the situation was even more serious than expected, the enemy actually completely gave up the idea of blocking the battle group, and the alien warships that had originally assembled in front of the main force were all scattered, and turned around to intercept the lone human warship.

"It's a good calculation!" After reading the report, Huo Qiang commented lightly.

Having said that, Huo Qiang didn't mean to look down on the enemy at all, he immediately found Zhuang Bo and Wu Han, and the trio got together to carefully study the current situation and discuss ways to break the situation.

Then the captains were also called, and everyone gathered to the virtual headquarters to conduct a war game deduction, through which it was found that the situation on their side was not optimistic, and if they did not take preparatory measures, the battleships acting alone would be intercepted by the enemy.

The five battle groups have a total of fifty-five warships, and they have lost a quarter of the total number at once, and there is no need to continue the next operation, it is better to withdraw directly to the earth.

The problem in front has not been solved, and there is a problem in the back, Huo Qiang received a report from Gao Kai that the enemy ships near Ceres are gathering, and the target is likely to be Ceres!

Gao Kai couldn't help but sigh that the predictions in advance were broken by aliens one after another, and these bastards really didn't play their cards according to the rules.

The voyage between the main force of the fleet and Jupiter was more than two months, but the enemy ships were not so far from Ceres, and half a month after the departure of the fleet, a group of enemy ships was assembled.

However, the enemy did not attack Ceres, but only stayed near Ceres with a keen eye, waiting for more alien warships to arrive.

Gao Kai can guess the aliens' thoughts without analysis, it is nothing more than that he is afraid of the super cannon, and wants to gather a little more troops, and then attack with all his strength with greater certainty, and solve the Ceres problem once and for all.

Gao Kai really wanted to disrupt the aliens' intentions, and the most direct way was to lead the fleet to take the initiative to attack, taking advantage of the fact that the number of enemy ships was still small, to annihilate this enemy force in one fell swoop.

But the two battle groups left by Huo Qiang were too miserable, even if they were repaired for more than half a month, they only recovered sixty percent of their combat effectiveness, and with the cover of the super cannon, they would definitely be able to deal with the enemy for a while, if they left the range of the super cannon, it was difficult to say whether it was the opponent of this enemy army.

In desperation, Gao Kai could only stay depressed in Ceres, watching the enemy army slowly assemble.

At this time, he finally understood a little why Huo Qiang didn't give others vaccinations, but he deliberately reminded him at the meeting, obviously expecting that it was possible to come to this point, and he didn't want to lose the two battle groups left behind.

Thinking of this, Huo Qiang simply ordered all the soldiers who landed to evacuate, leaving only the servants on Ceres, so that even if Ceres was occupied by aliens, the losses could be minimized.

Of course, Gao Kai didn't forget to leave some souvenirs for the aliens, before the troops left, enough nuclear bombs were planted under the ground base, underground space and super cannons, once the aliens landed on Ceres, Gao Kai would detonate the nuclear bomb at the right time, on the one hand, destroy the ground facilities and make some trouble for the landed aliens; The second is to make it more difficult for aliens to occupy Ceres, so that they have to start over.

In the blink of an eye, it was another ten days, and the aliens near Ceres finally gathered enough warships, and more than seventy enemy ships approached Ceres.

The Nanzhou ship group has not been idle these days, and the entire fleet has been rushing to repair the battleships day and night, which has restored the combat effectiveness of the fleet to eighty percent.

Finding the enemy approaching, Gao Kai immediately ordered all ships to prepare for battle, and at the same time, ordered all transport ships to evacuate Ceres, regardless of whether they were unloaded or fully loaded, all transport ships must stay away from Ceres, away from dangerous airspace and stand by.

As for the safety of the transport ship, you don't have to worry, don't look at these big guys looking clumsy, but a fully loaded transport ship can keep up with the pace of the capital ship, and the unloaded transport ship is even more fine.

At this point, the combat preparations of both sides were completed, and a major battle was about to break out.
