118 Advantage conversion
The spacecraft's altitude reduction is not vertical, but rather orbits Jupiter at a certain speed, and in the process keeps descending.
After the missile broke away from the battleship, it flew around Jupiter and towards Jupiter, which was vertical from the perspective of Expedition 1, but from other directions, it was a curved arc.
Or rather, half a parabola.
The missile flew more than a million kilometers by inertia, and did not restart its engine until it approached Callisto's orbit, and instead of rappelling to level flight, launching a reverse attack from the front of the satellite
The advantage of this is that the relative speed between the missile and the satellite is faster, and the defense is more difficult.
In this case, no matter how brilliant the tactics are, it is difficult to work, and the real victory is accumulated with a little bit of winning rate.
From the initial comprehensive crushing to the later embarrassment, the experience of the alien species is indescribable, and they have long put away all their contempt, and they no longer dare to underestimate half a point of human beings.
It's just a low-level civilization that has just stepped out of the planet, why is it so difficult?
When the expeditionary 1 arrived at Jupiter, the alien species gave enough attention and attention, and it was unnecessary that there had been no movement before, and when the missile was about to fly over the satellite orbit and gradually turn to level flight, a large group of ice-made alien fighters took off.
And the enemy not only built rudimentary fighters, but also a dozen ice gunboats, as well as two ice battleships with a length of no less than 100 meters!
Witnessing this scene, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
With so many flying machines built in such a short period of time, what kind of technology does the alien species use?
Ou Zhanpeng even had an idea, could this be the bottom of the box of the alien species, specially used when in trouble?
Before the two sides could make contact, the swarm of missiles suddenly dispersed, and the missiles flying in front of them burst open, releasing a large area of smoke.
The other party's flight cluster was not chaotic, and it seemed that it had been prepared for a long time.
However, the human missiles in the smoke screen did not fly honestly, but silently split, releasing sub-warheads.
In the blink of an eye, there were more than 2,000 warheads, of which only half were equipped with mushroom bombs, and the rest were all ordinary warheads.
There is no way, the military's reserves are limited, and this is already the result of careful looting and bringing all the stocks at the bottom of the box.
Expedition 2 went even further, only one-third of the mushroom bombs were self-produced, and the remaining two-thirds were emergency support from Da Mao, Mi Guo and other small partners.
In the face of a common enemy, no matter how big the contradiction between the Blue Star partners is, they have to let it go first, and at this time, talking about interests and conditions is tantamount to self-determination to human beings.
More than 2,000 warheads of various kinds split into two directions in the smoke screen, half of which flew towards Europa, while the other half remained unmoved and continued to fly in the direction of Jupiter.
The missile that released the warhead was the first to fly out of the smoke screen, and encountered the intercepted flight group, and suddenly the light was full of light.
The alien gunboat fires a strange white ray, and any missile hit by this thing immediately loses power and can only continue to fly by inertia.
Next, swarms of alien fighters poured in and completely dismantled the missiles.
But not all missiles were dealt with by alien species, and the next batch of missiles rushed out of the smoke screen at great speed and launched an attack on gunboats and battleships.
The white rays and the flames of the explosion filled the battlefield, and in a short time, dozens of alien fighters, six gunboats, and an enemy ship were already sunk on the spot.
By the time another batch of missiles flew out of the smoke screen, most of the alien flight swarm had already sunk, and the remaining flying machines tried their best to stop a few warheads, and the only ice ship was destroyed by a mushroom bomb hit.
The rest of the aliens began to fight desperately, and as soon as they found the trail of missiles, a swarm of warplanes would immediately rush up and destroy one on top of the other, until the missiles were detonated.
Half an hour later, the battle was finally coming to an end, and in the end only three missiles broke through the blockade, but none of them hit the target.
But it doesn't matter, the real killer of humanity is the warheads in the back, which have no power, no tail flame, and float silently in the orbit of Ganymede, and even some of them turn around and float synchronously at a speed that is only one line slower than Ganymede.
They will land one after another in the near future, launching a continuous, irregular bombardment.
But no one was disappointed, because the focus of the No. 1 ship had long since left the battlefield, and those warheads flying towards Jupiter were the real focus!
They are not yaw, the direction and velocity of each warhead are carefully calculated, and it looks like a mess, but in reality it is not like that at all.
The warhead continues to accelerate under the gravitational pull of Jupiter, passing the orbits of Europa, Europa, and Europa, and finally passing through Jupiter's outer atmosphere and flying to the other side of the planet.
After flying out of a near-right-angled orbit, more than 1,000 warheads split into four groups and flew towards Europa, Europa, Europa, and Europa.
It's no longer an awkward attack from behind the satellite, but a vertical strike from the inside of the planet to the outside!
The essence of this plan is to change the direction of attack of the warhead, thereby avoiding the disadvantage of a blow from behind.
Under the human military theory system, there are two ways to attack from the back side of the satellite, one is to take a long-distance detour and fly to the side or below the satellite to launch an attack.
The advantage is that it is simple and convenient, but the disadvantage is that there is a lot of speed loss, the attack is not sudden enough, and the enemy has enough time to launch an interception.
The second is to fly close to the ground and then launch an attack after getting close to the target, which is similar to that of cruise missiles.
This method was adopted when the fleet launched an attack on the Falling Ship Mountain.
The advantage is that the attack is sudden and more difficult to defend; The disadvantage is that the topography and gravitational pull of the surface of the celestial body must be taken into account to control the speed within a certain range.
It is impossible to say which method is more reliable, but we can only make a comprehensive judgment based on the actual situation on the battlefield to determine which tactic is more suitable.
It's ridiculous to say that the military power of humanity has been in space for a short time, there has never been a real large-scale fleet confrontation, and the actual combat experience is almost equal to zero.
But every powerful Blue Star partner is repeatedly exploring various space tactics through simulated confrontation.
Simulated confrontation is not just talk on paper, but a drill that is carried out in a way that is closest to actual combat after presetting battlefield conditions. A large number of simulated confrontations have produced a series of theories of space operations, such as "A Discourse on the Superiority of High-altitude Orbit", "Counter-Attack in Low-Altitude Orbit", "Forward Escape and Reverse Attack", "Basic Principles of Space Confrontation", and so on.
Basically, they all have a little shadow of air combat tactics, but they are not the same.
Leaving aside whether this system is immature or not, in short, the theoretical system does exist.
The battle plan proposed by Ou Zhanpeng is essentially to transform the altitude advantage of the Expeditionary One into a speed advantage, so as to break through the interception and destroy the target!
