In the worst January, except for the bright area of the polar cap, the remaining surface of Mars was covered with dust storms, which lasted for a long time and covered a wide range, which was simply appalling.
Compared with Mars, the sandstorm on the earth is simply weak.
Of course, spherical dust storms are not so common, but regional dust storms are commonplace.
Putting the gun array in the polar region can avoid the influence of dust storms to the maximum extent. On the contrary, if the gun array is placed in other places, once a dust storm occurs, the floating dust will float to thousands of meters of high schools and completely submerge the gun array. Even if the gun array can determine the target direction through satellites, the light beam will be greatly weakened by the dust all over the sky.
Because of so many restrictions, the joint command had to put two artillery arrays at two poles respectively and then put the other two artillery arrays into satellites.
Designers and constructors have visited Mars more than once, but it is not a place suitable for super artillery. On the contrary, Ceres and satellites, which have no atmosphere, are more suitable for artillery array.
The placement of the artillery array had to be accommodated to the environment, leaving a big flaw. Now this flaw was discovered by aliens, so they directly smashed the asteroid at Mars.
Chapter 136 Open plan
The defenders have already made plans for various situations, and the two fleets have also conducted several offensive and defensive drills. When it was discovered that the alien fleet was shooting at the gun array, the Zhou Xu and Discovery simultaneously judged that the enemy was about to attack, and led the fleet to the predetermined position separately to prepare for the enemy.
After the aliens threw the asteroid out, the two fleets immediately intercepted the fire. To be on the safe side, they not only fired missiles but also fired several nuclear magnetic shells at the asteroid.
Asteroids are not warships. They can’t turn, intercept or change speed. It is not difficult to calculate the direction and speed of asteroids and hit them.
How can aliens watch asteroids being destroyed by humans? Without hesitation, the alien fleet was divided into several teams, each following an asteroid.
"This is an asteroid as a shield!" Ye Han commented.
He really wants to ask aliens, can you really stop human missile shells?
The answer is of course no, but it’s really no big problem to block the laser.
In this way, the two sides showed their first confrontation around the asteroid that hit Mars. The aliens tried their best to intercept the human missile shells, while the human beings were bent on aiming at the alien warships when they could not find the target.
The battlefield laser is thin, and you come and I fly back and forth to missiles and shells, but both sides are cautious and have been carefully out of the effective range of the enemy. The fighting seems fierce, but it does not cause much damage.
To be precise, this is not a direct firefight, which can be regarded as a confrontation.
It’s not the first time for both the enemy and the enemy to go to the battlefield. At the beginning, the commanders on both sides were also very careful which side didn’t show any flaws. Soon after, the asteroids were destroyed by nuclear bombs, and the aliens could not decisively withdraw from the battle. The first round of confrontation between the two sides died.
Afterwards, the commanders of both sides were very dissatisfied with the result of this battle. The aliens failed to achieve the set goal and the human beings failed to destroy the alien warships.
It is true that neither side has suffered, but in other words, neither side has taken advantage of it. It is strange that commanders on both sides are satisfied. It is better to have a good defeat than to hang on to it.
The alien fleet retreated voluntarily, but there were no signs of attack for the time being, and the defenders on Mars were weak and unable to take the initiative to attack. As soon as the Mars campaign was launched, the situation was deadlocked.
Everyone believes that when a wave of alien fleet arrives on Mars, it is time for the enemy to show another round of attack.
A wave of enemy ships has always been the key monitoring target of the defenders. If nothing happens, the enemy will arrive on Mars in about half a month.
At this time, the defenders should actively prepare for the war, but they have already prepared. What they can do now is to wait patiently.
A few days later, a wave of enemy troops had not yet reached Mars, but the Jizhou battle group flew to the core of Jupiter Enterprise first, and there were still two days left for the international fleet. The fifth battle of Jupiter was about to take place.
However, the upcoming Battle of Jupiter, Mars, and the only task force of Mars is to hold on to Mars.
Time flies, and it’s ten days. The third wave of enemy ships finally approached Mars, but the defenders found that it was time for the enemy to slow down, but none of them slowed down and continued to accelerate.
Zhou Xu and Discovery immediately held a round of emergency consultations, and both sides agreed that there were two possibilities: one was to increase the speed of asteroids without slowing down, so as to increase the impact power of asteroids; Second, aliens will not aspire to Mars.
If it is the first idea for aliens to fight, the situation will be severe if it is the second idea.
The two battle groups immediately prepared their hands.
A few days later, the enemy approached Mars and threw off the asteroids in the team millions of kilometers away from Mars. Then the enemy went around the back of Mars to see their speed and orbit, in order to benefit the gravitational speed of Mars!
What annoys the defenders even more is that the speed of this enemy is neither fast nor slow. If the speed is faster, the defenders will not be able to catch up and watch the enemy fly to the earth. On the contrary, if it is slower, the situation will be just the opposite. Before the enemy crosses Mars, it will be stopped by the defenders.
The situation is already obvious, but what aliens do is to show the Mars task force. If they intercept, the defenders must leave Mars, but if they don’t intercept this enemy, they will fly directly to Earth.
In the face of this situation, the defenders are reluctant and able to intercept. After determining the enemy’s situation, the two fleets set off at the same time and intercepted by Mars.
"This is an open plan!" After receiving the news, Yip Han gnashed her teeth. "These king eggs have made great progress and know how to use their brains."
"What can I do?" Luo Qi was worried. "How did the two battle groups follow? That’s great. There are only super cannons left on Mars. Can you hold the enemy’s attack?"
