Chapter 12: The Space War Begins
What Yang Yi didn't know was that it was just over three minutes after he returned to the sky above the earth.
The Centauri Maltese Blue Star invaded the Earth Expeditionary Fleet, and it had already broken through the outermost warning zone of the Earth's Solar System Fleet near Pluto at high speed, swept all the way through the defense network set up by the Earth Fleet along the way, and reached the vicinity of Jupiter, the large-scale assembly site of the fleet, and launched a fierce attack without warning.
"Report to headquarters, the fleet is under attack, the fleet is under attack!" The Earth's Solar System Fleet deployed near Jupiter was attacked by UFOs at the same time, and the Earth Fleet command center and the military of various countries received reports at the same time.
"Report, the Solar System Fleet has been attacked by unknown and has begun to engage in combat!" Just a minute later, the CMC's Joint Operations Command Center on the ground received another message of engagement.
"Shoot back according to the rules of interstellar engagement!" In the Joint Operations Command Center of the Central Military Commission in Beijing, Tie Lei, commander of the Joint Staff, looked at the huge and numerous black pentagonal unidentified fleets that appeared in the central holographic display area, and issued a counterattack order to Starfleet.
"Report to HQ, there's fighting!" Inside the Blue Earth Fleet command mothership, the commander reported.
In an instant, one of the largest space battles ever fought on Earth was unfolding near Jupiter.
The massive fleet almost obscured the space near Jupiter, and the blue and black starships launched strikes at each other.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”…….
Pillars of energy light of various colors flashed back and forth in space, and the two sides came and went, and the battle was fierce and unusual. From time to time, a battleship exploded in the air when it was hit, sending out a huge shock wave.
Some warships even maneuvered to the point where they pursued each other and tangled into the sky over Jupiter, and the debris of the explosion crashed directly into the giant storm vortex of the Great Red Spot on the home planet.
Now the power of the Earth side has long been very different from that of the somersault cloud when it was launched, and both the quality and quantity of warships are unprecedentedly huge.
The command mothership Deep Blue is powered by the latest nuclear fusion reactor and can accommodate 10,000 heavily armed soldiers, and the blue winged ship weighs 150,000 tons.
The armament of the Deep Blue mothership is even more powerful, not only equipped with dozens of high-energy laser cannons with energy more than three times more powerful than the somersault cloud, but also equipped with a powerful miniaturized nuclear weapon system, each warhead is enough to destroy an asteroid.
Its latest high-energy electromagnetic pulse can not only destroy the electronic equipment of enemy warships, but also directly release the robotic arm to capture small warships.
The defense power should not be underestimated, and the nanomaterials of the hull are also the latest model, and the temperature of the high-temperature magnetic field is as much as twice that of the somersault cloud.
Scattered around the Deep Blue are 300 attack combat ships weighing 30,000 tons, with blue hulls and the same wing layout, all equipped with nuclear fusion engines, equipped with high-energy laser cannons and small nuclear bombs, and have space combat capabilities, just like 300 blue fighter attack aircraft.
The solar system fleet group led by the Deep Blue is the proudest achievement of the earth in the past seventy-three years, which is the reason why the fleet commander is surprised by the large size of the local fleet, but he does not act too flustered, he is still relatively confident in the strength of the earth side.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ......" another series of explosions sounded in the dark space, and another batch of warships were hit, turning into fireballs that disintegrated and fell, like beautiful fireworks lit in the night sky.
Both the blue and black fleets dispatched their own attack ships to attack each other, maneuvering and chasing each other in space.
In the Joint Operations Command Center of the Central Military Commission, the commander of the Joint Staff Headquarters, wearing a general's uniform, stared intently at the live interstellar engagement displayed on the holographic screen, and his face gradually gloomy from being full of confidence at the beginning of the battle.
In just three minutes, the blue fleet lost a small half, while the enemy's black pentagonal fleet only lost a dozen or so small escort fighters that were released.
The weapons of the Earth Fleet did not seem to have much effect on the Black Boundless Fleet, and the hull that was incomparably hard for the Earth Fleet was almost all spared under the attack of the blue energy light pillar of the Black Pentagon Battleship, and it disintegrated in an instant.
I don't know what kind of energy weapon this blue pillar of light is, it is so powerful, the earth fleet has no way to take it, after the high-energy laser cannon and electromagnetic pulse bomb attack the boundless fleet are ineffective, the disadvantage of the earth fleet gradually appears.
At such a close distance, the killer weapon that the Deep Blue Fleet of the Earth relies on the most, the high-power nuclear warhead that can destroy both the enemy and us at the same time, cannot be used at all, otherwise it would not have become so unbearable.
"Report...... The fleet suffered heavy losses...... Request to evacuate! After another five minutes, the last thing the command center wanted to see happened, the fleet commander's originally calm expression became shocked, it was only eight minutes of fighting, and there were only more than a hundred fleets left on the Earth side.
"Deep Blue, grant your request, the fleet is withdrawn in the direction of the earth, but you try to block the local fleet as much as possible to buy time for the earth orbit defense system." In the hall of the Joint Operations Command Center of the Military Commission, Commander Tie Lei's face was pale, and he gave the order to retreat to the Earth Blue Fleet Group led by the Deep Blue, he knew very well in his heart that the current situation on the battlefield in the front, the longer the battle, the greater the possibility of the entire army being annihilated, in order to temporarily preserve his strength, he had to order the fleet to temporarily withdraw in the direction of the earth.
However, if the fleet withdraws in the direction of the earth, it will seriously endanger the safety of Mars, the moon base, and even the mainland of the earth.
United Nations Headquarters.
The Earth Security Council is holding an emergency video conference, and the leaders of various countries are already online to urgently discuss countermeasures to deal with the invasion of the unknown fleet.
"Which galaxy does this pentagonal black fleet come from, and why didn't you receive any warning messages beforehand?" The white-haired, blue-clad leader of the European Union asked in surprise with dark blue eyes.
"Judging from the direction of the opponent's entry into the solar system, the enemy should be from a nearby star system." The tall American leader in a black suit looked at the real-time battle situation on the holographic screen, and his handsome face showed a thoughtful look, obviously the white president was also a little confused.
"What is the Chinese side to judge the current form? Was the attacking fleet identified? The Russian leader asked.
"Judging from the trajectory of the enemy's fleet entering the solar system, the Chinese side is basically the same as the United States, and it is more likely that the enemy will come from the nearby star system Centauri." Dressed in black military civilian clothes, the chairman of the Central Military Commission, who is in his fifties and in good spirits, said.
"The judgment of the Russian side is also basically the same." The Russian leader looks at the video of the engagement ahead.
"The African Union is on the same page!"
"India is judging the same!"
……
All of a sudden, world leaders were making their own judgments about the crisis.
"Heads of State and Government, our Deep Blue Fleet has begun to retreat in the direction of the Earth, and I propose to make a decision now on the activation of the 'Planet Shield' Earth-orbiting native common defense system." In the background of the video is the picture of the Joint Operations Command Center of the Central Military Commission, and the chairman of the Central Military Commission with a solemn face proposed.
"The U.S. side supports China's proposal!" The US leader made a statement.
In the case of the first statement of the US side, Russia, the European Union, the African side, India and other UN members have also taken their positions.
"Unanimously passed, now activate the 'Planet Shield' Earth's native common defense system!" Two minutes later, the voting was closed, and all Council members were surprisingly unanimous.
"The planet shield earth-native common defense system has been activated, the first layer of defense high-energy phalanx laser cannon group has been activated, and no aircraft are prohibited from approaching within 100,000 kilometers of the earth's orbit." A few seconds later, a chime sounded on the holographic screen in the Council Hall.
In just two minutes after the United Nations launched the unanimous resolution on the launch of the mutual defense system, dozens of more warships of the Earth Fleet were destroyed, and the fleet formation had begun to be chaotic, and the signs of rout were becoming more and more obvious.
"It seems that the first layer of the Planet Shield laser cannon group may not be able to defend against enemy attacks, and I suggest that the heads of state immediately activate the second layer of nuclear warhead defense network from now on, order and put the intercontinental missile launch bases of various countries on the highest alert, and be ready to use nuclear warheads as a last resort.
At the same time, it began to mobilize its own war resources, form new armed forces, prepare for the complete fall of the earth, and form a rebel army to fight guerrilla warfare against the enemy. The chairman of the Military Commission proposed with a solemn face.
"Agree with the Chinese proposal." None of the leaders of the countries showed dissent and unanimously agreed.
"Then let's split up, good luck to everyone, good luck to the planet! The chairman of the Central Military Commission on the rostrum of the Joint Operations Command Center of the Central Military Commission said with a worried face.
"Report to the Earth Headquarters, the fleet command center is under attack, request for support!" Five minutes after the leaders of various countries went offline, another 100,000 urgent battle situation came from the center of the joint operations of the Central Military Commission, and the Deep Blue fleet group, which had retreated to the vicinity of Mars, was attacked more fiercely, and the mothership was already on fire.
"Attention the other ships of the Deep Blue Fleet, stop the fighting and escort the mothership!" In the Joint Operations Command Center of the Central Military Commission, the chairman had to signal Commander Tie Lei to issue an order to throw the car and protect the commander.
"Boom!" There was a loud sound of the sky and the earth cracking, and just as the commander's iron thunder retreat order was issued, another thick blue pillar of light hit the Deep Blue mothership, and the entire hull exploded instantly, turning into a ball of fire.
The entire joint operations command center was suddenly silent, and everyone was stunned.
The destruction of the Deep Blue heralds the destruction of the Earth Fleet as a foregone conclusion.
Sure enough, at the moment when the mothership Deep Blue was destroyed, the remaining dozens of search combat ships were also scattered after a few minutes, routed, and all wiped out.
The armament that the earth is proud of was emptied in ten minutes.
On the Earth side, there is no longer the strength to stop the invasion of the Centauri's huge black pentagon fleet.
The Pentagon Fleet, which barely encountered any resistance, swept Mars all the way, and the black pressure flew in the direction of Earth.
