The Japanese invasion was clearly a premeditated operation, and the other side had been constantly modifying the patrol route in the past month, allowing his range of activities to gradually move closer to the area where the Star Fort was located.

Therefore, before the start of the operation, a total of more than 50 Japanese warships pretended to be active on the edge of the Star Fort Alert Circle, and then suddenly turned around and rushed in, in a vain attempt to catch the Star Fort by surprise. But they obviously didn't expect that as soon as their side revealed their murderous intentions, they had already been detected by the other party.

On the three-dimensional map of Star Fort, the movements of these four Japanese fleets are all clearly visible, and they are approaching Star Fort from a dense area, and one of them is the Nagumo Mobile Force that raided Pearl Harbor a while ago. The six carriers had just released about a third of their carrier-based aircraft and were heading towards the general direction of the Star Fort.

If the Star Fort is not transferred immediately, the Japanese search fleet is expected to discover their position in 40 minutes, and Shavier believes that it is okay to fight or not to fight. Because of the pure strength, the Star Fort fleet is completely intimidated by the Japanese army, even if it is a hard fight, the devils will not take much advantage.

However, after taking a closer look at the Japanese army's four-way formation, Zhao Jian did not rush to let the Star Fort move, nor did he immediately send a fleet to meet it. Instead, let Shavier dispatch a manned reconnaissance plane first to explore in several other directions. Because of intuition, it may not only be a devil who comes.

Soon! A flying wing, 45 manned Scout Griffons, flew out of the Star Castle.

Thanks to the concept of "modularization" that Zhao Jian has always advocated, the third batch of Griffin fighters produced by Starcastle have increased internal and external hardpoints, and the types of equipment that can be attached are also more diversified. In addition to the radar pod attached to the belly of the aircraft, these reconnaissance griffons are also equipped with a booster device for escape.

It took less than 30 minutes for the reconnaissance team to spot a second group of uninvited guests in the other direction, and these guys were also "old friends" like the devils, it was the alien fleet of the broken dawn. If Zhao Jian hadn't specifically asked for a manned plane, maybe he would have really let these guys fish in troubled waters!

The alien fleet attempting to sneak up on the Star Castle hides behind an asteroid about five kilometers in diameter. All of these warships have the ability to evade the radar of the ancients, and ordinary electromagnetic radars can be blocked by asteroids. If it weren't for the fact that a reconnaissance plane passed near the asteroid and inadvertently saw a "little tail" out of the corner of its eye, it would have almost failed to spot these guys.

There are more than 40 in total in this alien fleet, although no Titan-class battleships like Tarnara and Ruth have been found, but there are as many as 12 Banshee-class light mothers and more than twice as many demon-class destroyers, and the combat effectiveness of these two unmanned warships, Zhao Ship They have already learned in the last battle.

And in addition, there are 6 Zhao ships in the team that they have seen for the first time.

The size of this alien battleship is larger than that of the banshee, who belongs to the Light Mother. The hull presents a flat, triangular structure with flat heads at all three ends and a pronounced inner arc on the edges. The whole feels like a variant of a flying saucer, but when the reconnaissance plane gives a top-down perspective, Zhao Jian found that it was actually more like a "fat second".

It is not difficult to see from the pictures transmitted by the reconnaissance plane that the alien fleet is precisely based on these "fat ships" as the core, and if it were not for the other side discovering the reconnaissance plane and firing at it, Zhao Jian really wanted the reconnaissance plane to come up and have a look.

"Call Tarnara and Ruth at once, I need them to identify this thing."

After confirming the two enemy forces in the front and rear one after another. Zhao Jian focused his attention on the alien fleet. Because compared to that black technology fleet, the threat of the Japanese combined fleet is not worth mentioning at all!

The last time he fought with this kind of alien warship, Zhao Jian still remembers it vividly. In addition to the two extremely powerful Titan-class battleships, the Banshee-class Light Mother and the Demon-class destroyers are also not to be underestimated.

In addition to the Banshee class, she can carry 30 claws. It also has firepower that is not weaker than that of the heavy patrol level. The Devil class can be called the "fighter" among the destroyers, and the destroyers on the side of Xingbao are not the opponents of this kind of super destroyer in actual combat, which is also the main reason why Zhao is in a hurry to develop a 3,000-ton standard Type III destroyer.

It didn't take a while. Tarnara and Ruth rushed to the main control room, and when they looked up at the big screen, they were immediately attracted by the strange fat boat. But what disappointed Zhao Jian was. Both of them said that they had never seen such a strange battleship, but since they were in the core of the formation, they must have some ability.

So Zhao Jian pondered for a moment, and could only choose a dangerous two-front battle.

Because in terms of movement speed, Star Castle is far inferior to a battleship. If there is only one enemy, the Zhao ship can naturally send a fleet to block it, and then let the Star Fort retreat calmly. But in the face of two bread sandwiches, retreating can easily turn into a self-trap.

In addition, it is not difficult to see from the formation of the two parties that it is very likely that the devil and Broken Dawn have joined forces. The Japanese fleet is responsible for a frontal feint to attract the attention of the main force of the Star Castle, and that alien fleet is the real killer move. If the Zhao ship hadn't sent a reconnaissance plane, nine times out of ten they would have been caught off guard.

However, although it is said to fight on two fronts, Zhao Jian mainly focuses on the side of the alien fleet in the allocation of troops. He arranged 4 battle columns and 2 battle cruisers of his main fleet on the side of the alien fleet, and then asked Qinghai to bring the big and second artillery sisters and all the air defense destroyers to fight with the capital ships.

On the Japanese side, the tactics of the Zhao ship were mainly delaying, and the only capital ships participating in the battle were the "quasi-aircraft carrier" Feiyue and the battleship Richelieu, as well as 3 heavy cruisers and 8 standard Type II destroyers. In order for them to make up for the lack of aviation combat power, Zhao Jian temporarily transferred 200 griffons from the Star Fort.

Originally, Zhao Jian also planned to let Ruth and Wo Sauce also go into battle, but then after thinking about it, it was better not to let Broken Dawn know that he had subdued these alien ship girls, so he left the two ships on the Star Castle as a reserve.

As soon as the battle plan was arranged on the Zhao ship's side, several Japanese Zero Battles encountered the two Standard Type II destroyers that were returning from the Star Fort less than 80 kilometers away. Although the opponent was quickly forced back by the destroyer's anti-aircraft fire, the Japanese still allowed the Japanese to discover the location of the Star Fort.

So except for the Richelieu and the two aircraft carriers, which needed to wait for the sailors and pilots to be in place, all the other warships on the Star Fort left the port urgently, and a new round of space war was about to break out! (To be continued......)
