One Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-Two Iron Wall Encirclement

Time goes back to a while ago. Pinshu.com (. V m)

The expedition fleet marched all the way to Jupiter, with the main force moving forward and destroying all alien bases encountered along the way with nuclear bombs. In addition, some warships were scattered around the main force to deal with the alien bases close to the main route.

Not to mention the alien warships encountered along the way, kill all those that can be killed, and drive away those that cannot be pursued.

The Jizhou Fleet Group consists of five aircraft carrier battle groups and is the largest in the history of the expeditionary force.

This does not include the international expedition fleet composed of nine battle groups. The international fleet rushing to Jupiter from another direction is slightly stronger than the Jizhou battle group.

The two fleets each went in one direction, clearing and advancing at the same time. Before reaching Jupiter, they destroyed dozens of alien bases and sunk more than ten alien warships.

Along the way, we did encounter a lot of alien bases and alien battleships. At first, we thought it was because the aliens transferred the battleships to Mars. However, after approaching Jupiter, we found that this was not the case at all. The aliens transferred the battleships to Mars. There are only some battleships on Mars, and there are a large number of enemy ships hidden in the asteroid belt close to Jupiter.

Since the human fleet destroyed the alien base along the way, forcing the enemy ships to show up, these alien warships would probably not show up. They might be hiding in any corner, waiting for the human fleet to take action.

But Huo Qiang and US commander Halsey are both sober. They deeply understand that the fleet has only cleared the alien bases near the channel, and only opened two channels among the many enemy bases. There are more bases in other directions. , it is impossible to tell how many enemy ships are hidden in the dark.

Huo Qiang and Halsey would discuss countermeasures more than once, and finally decided on a battle plan of marching to Jupiter with the main force and attacking the reinforcements with partial divisions.

As for which battleships are the main force and which battleships are part of the division, it is decided by the two top commanders.

Leaving aside the battle plan of the main force, the battle plan of the partial division refers to the wolf pack tactics of World War II, which can be called the space version of wolf pack tactics.

The two generals had a good idea, but the aliens were not fools. As the fleet advanced, the aliens used a strategy to clear the country, giving up bases along the way and shrinking their forces.

Return the scattered alien warships to Jupiter.

And it is not to withdraw within the scope of Jupiter, but to withdraw to the inner layer of Jupiter - Jupiter is huge and has an astonishing gravity. Strictly speaking, Jupiter refers to Jupiter itself, but for both sides of the war, Jupiter refers to Jupiter itself, and The entire group of satellites surrounding Jupiter.

This range is quite large. Currently, the farthest satellite from Jupiter is S/2003 J 2. It is an unnamed Jupiter satellite with a semi-major axis of more than 30 million kilometers. In other words, With Jupiter as the center, the spherical space with a radius of 30 million kilometers belongs to Jupiter.

In order to facilitate command, the joint command divided Jupiter into three layers: inner and outer. The inner layer is within 2 million kilometers of Jupiter, basically outside the orbit of Callisto; the inner layer is between 2 million kilometers and 10 million kilometers; Everything 10 million kilometers away is the outer layer.

That is to say, the aliens have withdrawn all their warships to Callisto, put on a tight defensive posture, and are waiting for the human fleet to attack.

Faced with this situation, Huo Qiang was not anxious at all. After the fleet arrived at Jupiter, he had no intention of attacking at all. Instead, he divided his forces and went to the outer satellites, using the materials from the transport ships to build space bases, intending to turn all the satellites into siege satellites. Starman's strategic node.

The captains suddenly realized that no wonder they had spent so much money on both Ceres and Mars. They originally thought it was to move the enemy troops away and create conditions for the fleet to attack Jupiter. But now they see it differently. This is to establish a foothold on Jupiter for the fleet. Is it good to create conditions?

Due to various conditions, it is impossible to leave human guards on these space bases, so they are all unmanned bases. The only function of these bases is to fire at alien warships that enter the range.

The various satellites outside Jupiter have different sizes, textures, and limited fleet supplies, so these bases are also different. Some have a batch of lasers to disguise super cannons; some have a bunch of missiles to deter the enemy; and there are even two Extreme case of naval gun.

Anyway, Huo Qiang didn't expect these peripheral bases to be of much use. The key to these bases is not how strong Mars is, but that each small satellite has weapons and equipment left by humans and has the ability to sink alien warships. .

This method of gradually surrounding Jupiter layer by layer is so poisonous that it will kill the aliens.

The Jizhou has always been very concerned about the enemy's movements. Since the Jizhou fleet began to build a space base, the shrinking alien fleet has been ready to move, and it looks like it may rush out at any time, but in the end the enemy has stabilized.

The aliens were stable, and Huo Qiang was not in a hurry. He repeatedly asked each ship to move steadily.

"At critical moments, you must be calm and steady as a mountain!" Huo Qiang said.

If you think about it carefully, this is also a lesson learned from the past, with the intention of solving the Jupiter problem once and for all. In the past, the expeditions went straight to the inner layers of Jupiter, but the result was that they were never able to deal with the aliens.

It is different now. Although the method of gradual encirclement is a bit stupid, the effect is definitely much stronger than going straight to the inner layer. It is not that we did not learn from the lessons in the past, but that we did not have such strong manpower and material resources to send so many materials to Jupiter.

The materials sent this time are not as rich as expected, otherwise the outer space bases would not be so rough.

According to Huo Qiang, a complete space base must have at least three types of weapons: lasers, missiles, and close defenses, and have all-round strike capabilities at various distances, long, short, and short. Each base must also be equipped with a reactor.

His idea is good, but it is a bit out of touch with reality. The fact is that the weapons are not complete, and the reactor is out of the question. In order to power the equipment, photovoltaic cells must be laid on the satellite.

This damn place is Jupiter. The light intensity is only 4% of that on Earth. There are not many devices that can be driven by laying a large area of ​​photovoltaic cells, which almost made Huo Qiang worry about it.

A few days later, the international fleet arrived at Jupiter and began to build a space base in another direction.

The two fleets have different directions but the same goal. The construction speed is unprecedentedly fast. Six space bases were built in just a few days. If the outer satellites were not too scattered, this number could be doubled.

But then again, it is the outer bases that dare to fool around like this. The closer to the inner layer, the more perfect the newly built space bases are. There are not a lot of necessary equipment, and the weapons and equipment are getting better and better. Each base is equivalent to a scaled-down version of a battleship.

With so many space bases surrounding Jupiter, it will not be so easy for aliens to leave.
