Yan Jing finally made a decision and ordered the detachment to continue moving forward and maintain the current course for the time being, but it was clear to everyone, including Yan Jing, that the detachment would not fly like this forever.

The speed of the detachment is very fast, much faster than the speed of the alien fleet, and it will not be long before the detachment can catch up with the retreating alien fleet.

But the first detachment only maintained a pursuit posture, and if one person was picked out on the two warships, they knew that it was impossible for the fleet to confront the alien fleet head-on, and it was only a matter of time before they turned to maneuver.

If it was possible, Yan Jing hoped that the fleet would slow down and keep a certain distance from the retreating enemy forces, that is, not too close, and would not relax the pursuit.

However, the design of the battleship limited the tactical play - the 024 class only had a large number of thrusters in the tail, and there was no bow braking engine at all, so when it was necessary to brake, it either relied on planetary gravity, or turned the battleship 180 degrees in advance and braked with the butt forward.

This is not the negligence of the designers, but with the current state of the art, it is impossible to design a suitable brake engine, and the only feasible solution is to install a brake rocket. It's just that the size of the rocket will not be much smaller than the booster rocket used when the fleet departs, and if you really put that thing on the 024, it will push the displacement of the 024 to more than 6,000 tons.

The trick of air combat is to master 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, the installation of a brake rocket for the 024 class is not worth the loss.

If it was possible, Yan Jing also wanted to order the second detachment to temporarily find a satellite to hide for a while, and then catch Ganymede off guard, but for the same reason, even if he gave the order, the second detachment would not be able to carry it out.

Half an hour passed in a hurry, and the second team finally saw Europin rising behind Jupiter, but Europa had no intention of sending a fleet to intercept it, which made Yan Jing very uneasy.

It's impossible for aliens to ignore the detachment, so what does it mean for outsiders to stand still?

Yan Jing couldn't figure out the joints, gritted his teeth and didn't speak, and the fleet continued to maintain a posture of pressing step by step.

The distance between the detachment and the alien fleet is far enough, and the alien battleship has a good acceleration ability, and in another hour, the detachment will not be able to catch up with the enemy.

Yan Jing believed that the current situation was more favorable to the expeditionary fleet and decided to continue to maintain it for a while.

Although there was no contact between the two sides for the time being, everyone's nerves were tense and nervously observing all directions.

At this time, the expeditionary fleet was already deep into enemy territory, and it was possible to encounter a sneak attack by the enemy at any time, so there was no harm in being cautious.

Another 40 minutes later, an hour and 50 minutes before the second detachment came into contact with Europa, the observers of the Hongwan suddenly discovered that more than 20 alien warships had taken off from a certain satellite behind the first detachment.

Yan Jing immediately shouted badly, and immediately ordered the observers to carefully search the surroundings.

The observers quickly reported that the alien fleet had been spotted in both directions up and down the starboard side, and the enemy forces that were still retreating just now in front of them had joined forces with the other two enemy forces and rushed towards a detachment at an accelerated pace!

To the left of the fleet is the gigantic Jupiter, and the Callisto, which orbits Jupiter, which is the base camp of the aliens, and there will definitely be no good fruit to eat if you get close.

And there are alien fleets in the front, rear, and up and down on the right side, and a detachment has been surrounded by the alien fleet unconsciously.

Although the alien fleet has not yet moved in place, the 024-level maneuverability is limited, and it is impossible to break out of the encirclement before the aliens merge with each other, and the only breakthrough is the front.

The alien fleet on the front was the strongest, and Yan Jing was not sure to break through the alien fleet's interception at all.

In an instant, Yan Jing's heart was like ashes.

"Observe the hand, how much time do you have left?"

"Twenty minutes on the front and about forty minutes on the side and behind it."

I'm afraid that the aliens have already laid this pocket, just waiting for the expeditionary fleet to drill in, and the only direction that seems to have a chance at the moment is Europa.

Yan Jing regretted and hated, but the situation had developed to this point, and the first detachment was already the fat that the aliens were about to send into their mouths, so what was the use of remorse?

At the moment, Europa seemed to be the most hopeful direction to break the game, and Yan Jing believed without doubt that there must be an alien fleet waiting for him on Callisto, and as long as a detachment dared to approach, it would immediately take off from Callisto.

At the moment of life and death, it is inevitable that a person will hesitate, Yan Jing is naturally no exception, fortunately, there is still a little time left for him, just a few minutes later, Yan Jing finally made up his mind, and ordered in a deep voice: "A detachment, break through head-on!" ”

Front?

All those who heard the order were stunned, and everyone looked at each other.

"Commander?" Wang Xiaolei's eyes were puzzled.

Yan Jing sighed: "Do we have any other choice than the front?" ”

Everyone was speechless.

The battleship can only run forward, where to break through without breaking through to the front?

Yan Jing said again: "Order, the Luwan is moving closer to our ship, all the commanders and fighters are ready for battle, give me all the weapons to use, if we win, we will break out of the encirclement, and if we lose, we will break a few teeth of the aliens!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone roared in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

"Ready!"

The two spacecraft, which were already in combat readiness, immediately entered the combat state. The Luwan was close to the Hongwan, and the two warships only kept a distance of about 500 meters, side by side.

Two to fifty, the Hongwan and Luwan are like two moths rushing towards the flames.

Closer, closer, when the enemy ship entered the effective firing range of 1,200 kilometers, all the turrets on the two battleships were opened at the same time, the twenty twin turrets in the bow opened fire at the same time, and forty X-lasers hit the enemy ship, and the alien battleship was like a bag of lime that was constantly beaten, raising layers of smoke.

At the same time, a large number of missiles flew out of the belly of the two battleships, the number of which was incalculable, and one after another rushed towards the enemy ship at full speed with a faint trail of smoke.

The two battleships shot half of the remaining missiles in one go, totaling more than two hundred!

The flight speed of the missile is much faster than that of the battleship, and the alien fleet seems to be aware of it, and immediately widens the distance, and the missile group is still hundreds of kilometers away from the alien fleet, and the slightest light shot by the alien battleship forms a layer of fire net.

The missiles that flew in front crashed headlong into the interception net and were cut off by the first wave of interceptor fire.

Immediately after that, the second wave, the third wave...... More and more missiles were cut off by fine light, some missiles exploded into flames, some were destroyed and no longer sounded, and some became 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 towards the expeditionary fleet!

When the speeds of the two sides are combined, the speed of the missiles flying towards the alien fleet exceeds the interception speed by a large margin, and each interception, the missile group has to close the distance with the alien fleet.
