966 One step further
At a distance of 700 kilometers, another round of air raids unfolded.
Don't look at the fact that it has only been shortened for 300 kilometers, but the accuracy of the electromagnetic gun has been greatly improved, although it has not yet reached the level of precision strike, but as long as the target is not particularly small, it is still no problem to shoot three shots and two hits.
As a result, this wave of air strikes lasted for an unusually long time, and each gun needed some time to accurately observe and aim until it was aimed at the target, so that the density of the air strikes was much lower than in the first two rounds.
This is also one of the shortcomings of the electromagnetic gun, the shortest barrel is forty or fifty meters long, and it cannot be made into a turret like an ordinary naval gun, it can only be placed inside the battleship, and it cannot be aimed without moving the battleship.
It is not that there are electromagnetic guns like ordinary naval guns, but the barrel is too short, the shell speed is slow, and the range is short, but the rate of fire is not bad, and it can only be used as a close defense gun.
Some people may say that there is no air resistance in space, and after the shell is fired, it can fly indefinitely as long as it does not encounter obstacles, so how can there be any effective range?
Theoretically, it can be said that the accuracy of the electromagnetic gun must be considered when firing, no matter which type of electromagnetic gun, the longer the electromagnetic track is more stable, the higher the accuracy of the shell, and vice versa, the accuracy will be reduced accordingly.
After all, a shell is an object moving at high speed, and any slight disturbance will eventually be reflected in the accuracy of hitting.
For example, the assembly error of a certain acceleration coil is too high.
To put it more bluntly, the so-called effective range is the distance that can be accurately hit after precise aiming, and no matter how far it is, it will be difficult to hit the target due to the accuracy of the sight or external interference during launch.
The strike fleet is indeed equipped with an electromagnetic turret, but the accuracy of that thing is really painful, and if you want to hit the target from more than 700 kilometers away, unless it is a blind cat and a dead mouse.
Because of this, air strikes can only be carried out by electromagnetic artillery.
The shelling of the assault fleet lasted for half an hour and then stopped, and Gao Kai found Ye Han again: "Yezi, boom and bomb, bomb and bomb, the alien fleet just doesn't take the lead, what do you think will happen next?" ”
Ye Han didn't speak, but he was pondering vigorously in his heart.
Although the fleet's targeted bombardment did not turn Ganymede into a scorched earth, all visible alien structures have disappeared, and at this point, the shelling cannot be stopped without stopping, but the alien fleet still shows no signs of rising.
The next action is nothing more than two things, one is to cut into the inside of Ganymede and continue to bomb the other side of it, and the other is to decisively launch a landing operation, attack the aliens' underground facilities, and further test the aliens' reaction.
The question now is not what to do next, but how to move to get to the bottom of the aliens.
Having said that, if Gao Kai was inclined to bomb, then there was no need to ask Ye Han what he meant, since this was the case, Gao Kai's idea was very clear, he preferred to stop the bombing and decisively launch a landing operation.
Thinking of this, Ye Han didn't answer and asked: "Lao Gao, do you think the alien fleet will continue to believe?" ”
"How can it be so fast?" Gao Kai said, "Besides, what if you continue? It's so close to the interceptor fleet, and if I want to see it, even if they want to come back, they have to finish fighting the interceptor fleet first. ”
Ye Han's brows became deeper and deeper, and he nodded and said, "Then land!" ”
Now it is not a question of whether the alien fleet wants to fight or not, but the arrow has to be sent on the string, neither the alien fleet nor the interception fleet can not turn back, otherwise the fleet will slow down and then accelerate, and the fleet will fall into passivity because of this series of actions, and finally be beaten by the enemy.
The collision of the two fleets is inevitable, and the difference is not only in the victory or defeat, but also in where they go after the war.
The interceptor fleet is the best to win, and if the interceptor fleet fails, the task of the assault fleet is to force the alien fleet to return.
Aliens like to live underground, and it is difficult to touch the most sensitive nerves of aliens by simply bombing Ganymede, compared to the effect of directly attacking underground facilities after landing is indeed better than air strikes.
After making a decision, the fleet immediately launched action, Gao Kai was responsible for commanding the fleet to cover the landing force, Ye Han immediately communicated with the resistance, telling them that the surface of the callisto bombed by the fleet was ready to land, and asked the resistance in an inquiring tone if it had any idea of landing on Ganymede.
After Zeng Rui conveyed Ye Han's meaning to the aliens, several high-ranking members of the resistance organization got together and squeaked and discussed for a while, and one of them said a few words to Zeng Rui.
Zeng Rui's expression had some subtle changes, but this change had no reference significance for human beings, Ye Han couldn't understand the meaning contained in it, so he could only wait for Zeng Rui to speak.
Zeng Rui thought for a moment and said, "Chief, what they mean is that the Resistance is targeting the servant production line, but they think that the production line is very unlikely to be here. ”
"Where do they think the production line should be?" Ye Han asked.
"Europa." Zeng Rui said.
Ye Han said: "You tell them that Callisto is our next target, and for the safety of the fleet, we must first take Calisto, and at least we must leave a group of troops to contain the enemy here, and then the fleet can continue to attack...... And what if the production line is on Europa? Even if there is only one percent of the possibility, we must do our best 100 percent. ”
Zeng Rui immediately conveyed Ye Han's meaning, but Ye Han opened another channel to contact the flagship: "Old Gao, I just came up with an idea, we don't need to stare at Ganymede, leave a group of people here, leave two more battleships, and the main force of the fleet will attack Ganymede immediately, what do you think?" ”
Gao Kai nodded immediately without thinking about it: "I think it's okay!" ”
The average orbital distance of the two moons is more than 800,000 kilometers, which is twice the distance between the Earth and the Moon, and the actual distance between the two moons is much farther than the orbital distance.
"Then do it!" Ye Han said.
At this time, Zeng Rui had already finished communicating with the aliens, and Ye Han immediately made a silent gesture to Gao Kai.
Zeng Rui immediately said: "Chief, they agreed, but asked us to provide air cover, and also hoped that the fleet could leave a group of people to assist them, and it was best to mix them." ”
Ye Han thought for a while and said: "Tell them, I will arrange the escort warships, and I will leave the people for them, and it depends on the specific situation whether they are mixed or not, but you make it clear to them that the key target of the fleet is Europa, and when the strong second fleet comes, the remaining battleships and people will have to be withdrawn." ”
The demands of the resistance groups can be said to be right on the point.
No one dares to say that the production line is not on Europa, and one of the hidden tasks of the airborne division is to find a way to get control of the production line, and at the very least, to destroy the production line.
