Many people also had the same question, and Huang Bo was the first to ask: "Commander, can it be done with just three turrets?" ”

"Aren't there still eight close defense guns?" Yan Jing was full of confidence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"What if our fire is not able to destroy the enemy ship?"

"Am I like that dogmatic person? If you don't have enough firepower, report it quickly, and listen to my orders when the time comes. Yan Jing said.

Everyone understood the meaning of the words, and it was a reassuring pill for everyone, and Huang Bo immediately ordered the whole ship to prepare for battle.

Note that the entire ship is combat-ready, not turrets 1-3, which means that the Moon Bay can put all its guns into battle at any time if needed.

It's one thing to use it or not, it's another thing to not prepare for the time it takes, and it's not a problem to think of the enemy as a tougher one.

The orders given by several other captains were similar, including Yan Jing's Hongwan.

Yan Jing didn't express any opinion on this, and there was no need to express any opinion, because the pre-war preparations should have been done in the first place.

At this time, the fleet was still an hour's voyage from the enemy, which at first glance seemed to be more than enough, but the expeditionary force had been sailing in space for almost a year, and all the weapons and equipment had not been maintained, and it was necessary to conduct a necessary inspection of the entire ship's equipment before the war to ensure that everything was in order.

In this way, an hour is too short, and even if the maintenance team breaks its leg, it is impossible to complete the overhaul of all weapons and equipment before the start of the war, and can only focus on the No. 1 to No. 3 turrets.

Fortunately, although the construction of Class 024 has been rushed, the quality of the work has not decreased in the slightest, and after the system self-inspection, the fire control system is normal.

The expeditionary fleet was still half an hour away from the asteroid, and Yan Jing immediately made a decision and ordered the fleet to change formations, with Hongwan and Luwan as one group, and Xia Wan and Yuewan as two groups, and continue to fly towards the asteroid in the form of a two-ship formation.

The fleet finally received a reply from the command center, and the core of the call back was only four words: act on the opportunity.

It is the expeditionary force that is about to engage in an exchange of fire with the enemy fleet, and the communication with the expeditionary fleet is delayed for more than half an hour, so it is impossible to grasp the situation faced by the expeditionary force in real time, so how can it give combat orders to the expeditionary force?

In a word, everything in the expeditionary forces can only be solved internally.

The fleet continued to advance, everyone returned to their combat positions, even the marines, who had absolutely no chance to fight, put on power armor and stayed in the cabin.

When there was still a sixteen-minute voyage away from the asteroid, the aliens finally discovered the arrival of the expeditionary force, and the originally orderly alien spacecraft suddenly became extremely chaotic, dozens of various spaceships took off from the asteroid, half of the spacecraft desperately escaped, and the other half of the spacecraft circled behind the asteroid and hid behind the asteroid to avoid the expeditionary fleet.

Huang Bo looked at the escape trajectory of the alien fleet and pursed his lips disdainfully: "It's quite similar." ”

The alien spacecraft has just taken off, and the speed is definitely not as fast as the expeditionary fleet, in this case, flee in a direction perpendicular to the route of the expeditionary fleet in order to escape as far as possible in the shortest possible time.

But the alien fleet did not do this at all, but fled directly in the direction of Jupiter.

At this time, the fleet was still far away from Jupiter, which was still an inconspicuous little red dot directly in front of the expeditionary fleet, but it could already be distinguished from the stars with the naked eye.

Unless the alien fleet can increase its speed to more than 70 kilometers per second in a short period of time, these alien ships will be caught up by the expeditionary fleet sooner or later.

But looking at the acceleration of the alien fleet, it is clearly impossible to do this.

The alien fleet's actions were really unreasonable, so Huang Bo identified the alien fleet's actions as a feint and deception.

Flagship Hongwan.

Yan Jing found that the alien spaceship was running and dodging, and he had no intention of engaging in battle at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart.

Are the aliens really deliberately blocking here?

But now there is no point in studying this, Yan Jing stared at the asteroid for a few seconds, and commanded in a low voice that had just returned to normal: "Order, one group up and two groups down, open up a little distance...... Just 200 kilometers. ”

The diameter of the asteroid is only more than 100 kilometers, and after the two groups of warships are separated, the fleet firepower will cover the upper and lower ends of the asteroid, leaving only a very small area behind it to hide.

However, the distance between the four warships was originally not less than 100 kilometers, but it was originally an in-line formation suitable for long-distance voyages, but now it is necessary to pull the altitude as far as possible, and the space around the asteroid is included in the artillery fire of the expeditionary force as much as possible.

The expeditionary fleet flew closer and closer, and when it was less than a minute away from the asteroid, Yan Jing issued a combat order, and the four warships activated the No. 1 to No. 3 turrets at the same time, and the guards covering the turrets were separated to the sides under the action of hydraulic equipment, and then folded and landed on both sides of the turrets, revealing the twin laser cannons under the guards.

The 120mm twin-mounted laser cannon looks like two large-aperture astronomical telescopes tied together, but this thing is a real mass killer, the highest achievement of human energy weapons!

Don't think that just because the US imperialists have Zenith military technology, China's high-energy laser weapons started very early, and although its achievements are secret, they have the strength to crush the US imperialists' laser weapons.

The effective range of the laser cannon of the 024-class space battleship is as far as 1,200 kilometers, that is, from the time the enemy ship enters the firing range to the time it leaves the firing range, the expeditionary fleet has sixteen seconds to calmly open fire.

If you use the tail cannon as well, you can have another sixteen seconds!

Yan Jing kept an eye on it, did not let the fleet slow down, and forbade the fleet to get too close to the asteroid, so the fleet would be more than 400 kilometers away from the asteroid, and at a high speed of 72 kilometers per second, the asteroid would be swept at a high speed.

In this way, even if the aliens set some traps near the asteroid, there is no way to catch up with the expeditionary fleet, so as to prevent the fleet from falling into the pocket of the aliens.

The asteroid got closer and closer, and finally entered the range of the main gun, but the alien spacecraft cunningly hid behind the asteroid, not showing the slightest flaw, and the twelve twin-mounted laser cannons did not find a chance to fire in the limited time that the fleet flew over the asteroid.

Yan Jing simply ordered each ship to defend against possible pursuit with tail guns, and then chased the fleeing enemy with all his might.

There were about thirty alien ships that escaped from the asteroid, and they fled too late, until the expeditionary fleet passed the asteroid, and the speed of the alien spacecraft was still much lower than that of the expeditionary force.

The distance between the two sides shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye, perhaps because the aliens realized that it was too late to escape, and the more than thirty spaceships that had been gathered together suddenly came and scattered in all directions, trying to escape the blow of the expeditionary fleet.
