818 Split
The battle between the advancing fleet and the Atlantean occupation forces was fierce, but due to the regular speed of the warships on both sides, the entanglement was not long, and it was only more than two hours to fight.
After receiving the order of the flagship of the expeditionary force, Ye Fei did not rigidly follow the order to withdraw the fleet to the direction of Mars, but did the opposite, ordering all ships to move immediately away from Mars to lure the enemy army further away from Mars!
In order to contain more enemy troops, the sixteen battleships that still insisted on fighting had been divided into eight two-ship formations, and they were struggling to be encircled and suppressed by the Atlantean occupation forces.
Ye Fei's attention has always been on Mars, whenever he finds that an enemy ship wants to return to Mars, he will immediately coordinate his own warship to fly over and bring the enemy back into the scope of containment.
The battle has been going on for so long, and the missiles of the ships have been used up, and only the last bit of stock that is reluctant to use is left. The levitating shield has long been useless, but Jiang Yufei had an idea, and ordered the battleship to pull a few pieces of the wreckage of the enemy ship near itself to act as a levitation shield, although the broken triangular battleship's shell has lost the ability to counteract the decomposition beam, but the resistance to the decomposition beam is still much better than the armor of the God of War class itself.
The ships did the same, and they hated to wrap their warships with the wreckage of the enemy ships, and the resistance of the ships instantly increased several times!
The intensity of the Atlantean occupation army's attack on the advancing fleet did not decrease, but they were depressed to find that nearly two thousand warships could not do anything to take a dozen human warships.
If it weren't for Jiang Yufei's inspiration, the loss of the advancing fleet would never be as easy as five ships.
The Atlantean occupants were depressed to find that they had never fought such a humiliating battle with humans. Obviously, the number far exceeds the enemy, the firepower is far superior to the enemy, and the enemy is also within the range of his own side, but the air strength is just not able to make a place, how can not completely destroy these dozen enemy ships.
Before the advance fleet withdrew from Yunzhou Star, the Moro Star Fleet was still the Atlantis fleet with the most contact with humans, but after the advance fleet completely withdrew from the Yunzhou Galaxy, the two sides were completely isolated, and only the four Skyhawk class remaining in the solar system were still harassing the occupying forces, and the occupying forces had now surpassed the Moro Star Fleet. Become the Atlantean fleet with the most contact with humans.
The occupying forces believe that they know both human warships and human tactics. But how did today's human fleet seem to be reborn?
The God of War class was so similar to the Sky Eagle class that the occupying forces mistakenly thought that the God of War class battleship led by Ye Fei was the Sky Eagle class.
Although the appearance of these two types of warships is similar, and there is no particularly big difference in basic combat effectiveness, the God of War class is one step better in terms of design concept. Plus equipped with a crystal missile that the Skyhawk class has never been equipped with. The actual combat effectiveness is not at all on the same level.
Today's Aares-class is even capable of confronting the same number of Triangle warships head-on. But no human commander would be so stupid as to avoid his strengths.
Suppressing the enemy's numerical superiority with mobility is the king.
If anyone wants to ask how much accomplishment there is in bullying the Atlanteans, asking Ye Fei will be the right person.
The fleets of the expeditionary force that received the order set off at the same time almost in no particular order, and a large number of warships suddenly poured out of the shadows on the back side of Neptune.
The advancing fleet was entangled with the Atlantean occupation forces for two hours. The main force of the expeditionary force had quietly flown from a position 0.2 light-years away from Earth to the orbit of Neptune, and in order not to be detected by the Atlanteans, the fleet was chosen to leave the faster-than-light position on the outer side of Neptune, which happened to appear in Neptune's shadow.
In order to prevent the error of departing from the superluminal speed from exposing the fleet, Xu Shijie ordered the fleet to set sail on the extension line between the Sun and Neptune, so that even if it deviated from the superluminal speed in advance, there would be no accidents.
As for the space fluctuations caused by faster-than-light flight, there is no need to worry, the space fluctuations will gradually weaken with the extension of distance, and the speed of transmission will not exceed the speed of light, even if it can still be detected by the Atlantean occupation forces when it is transmitted to the inner solar system, it will take at least ten hours to fly that far.
The warships of the expeditionary force entered faster-than-light flight, and in the blink of an eye, two hundred and forty shock carriers of eight sub-fleets appeared on the inner side of the asteroid belt; At the same time, thirty warships of the 4th Main Fleet appeared in positions between the battlefield and Mars, blocking the enemy's path to Mars.
Immediately after that, ninety Ares-class warships appeared near Earth.
At this point, the expeditionary force completed the most crucial step of the counteroffensive campaign, cutting the enemy army from Earth and Mars.
At this time, the warships of the United States, Russia and Europe, which did not know what the crystal engine was, were still accelerating like slow snails, and it would take at least ten minutes to enter the speed of light.
As soon as the expeditionary force was in place, he immediately informed Ye Fei, and at this point, Ye Fei finally let go of his heart in mid-air, and let out a long breath: "Order all ships to disengage and fly to Mars to join the Fourth Fleet!" ”
More than a dozen warships immediately threw away the fragments of the enemy ship that served as levitating shields, and immediately entered a faster-than-light state and left the battlefield.
Only the God of War did not act immediately, but instead used the force field to gather the Atlantis version of the "levitation shield" flying outside the God of War, and then activated the faster-than-light engine.
When the advancing fleet appeared near the Fourth Fleet, all the officers and men who witnessed the sight were dumbfounded.
The other ships were okay, even if it was a little damaged, it was the honor of the battle, no big deal, only the Ares covered in the wreckage of the enemy ship was so stunning that it looked like a botched impressionist sculpture.
Ye Feicai doesn't care so much, he always thinks that face is not as important as lining, in a place like the battlefield, one more layer of protection is more hope for victory, and dry goods are more affordable than donkey dung and eggs with a bright surface.
The other warships of the advancing fleet were all stunned when they saw this scene, why did they throw away such a good levitating shield? I don't know how many cannons I have to fight again before I can recollect the wreckage of the enemy ship that fits us!
The sudden change in the situation on the battlefield was so fast that the Atlantean occupation army was unable to react for a while.
They thought that the advancing fleet would not be able to withstand it and slip away as before, but before the occupying army could make a sound of victory, the sharp-eyed Atlanteans suddenly discovered that there were dozens of more warships on the Martian side!
Limited to the speed at which light travels, it takes more than a dozen seconds for the light that appears in the Fourth Fleet to reach the position of the battlefield. (To be continued......)
