While Renes and others led the fleeing fleet to destroy the Tiberian Neptune military port, a fleet led by Wang Kainan attacked the Tiberian Mercury military port.
Mercury Military Port is the military port closest to the earth. It is the bridgehead for the Tiberians to monitor humans and suppress the human Mars military port. It can also support the Tiberian world on Earth.
Destroying it would leave the Tiberians on Earth isolated and helpless.
It is worth mentioning that the Mercury Military Port was once the largest military port for humans in the solar system. After the failure of the Earth Defense War, it was occupied by the Tiberians.
Just like the situation of the Tiberians' Neptune military port, the Mercury military port was also affected by the failure of the Dark Tai War. That is, due to the restarted "Cosmic Vanguard" project, more than 80% of the star battleships were redeployed, resulting in the loss of the number of star battleships in the port. There are currently only 15 ships in number, and there is not a single planet-class starship.
The strength has been greatly reduced, which is the best time to attack.
The attack fleet led by Wang Kainan had been conducting deep navigation drills on the Mercury side near the Earth-Moon orbit. After receiving the order for the general attack, it immediately started instant acceleration and then rushed towards the Mercury military port at the highest speed. .
Although this fleet and the fleeing fleet that attacked the Neptune military port both shouldered important attack missions in this all-out war, the obvious difference from the latter is that the former does not have the huge advantage of the latter. In addition to being unexpected, it does not There is no advantage of invading the enemy's central command system and paralyzing its biological protection devices.
Especially the latter one determines the success or failure of the war.
Before Wang Kainan set off for the expedition, Li Jianfeng told him that his attack would probably go nowhere. He was not sure whether the virus program released by the fleeing fleet could successfully and effectively invade the central command system of the Taibo people. Then paralyze its biological protection device.
Even if he succeeded, he still could not guarantee that the technical department could timely and effectively disable the biological protection devices of the Tiberian starships parked in the Mercury military port hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
Therefore, once a general offensive is launched, Wang Kainan must not be timid because he did not achieve the above goals in time, let alone stand still!
There is only one way, and that is to fight to the death with the enemy in this dark and beautiful starry sky!
Wang Kainan happily accepted the order.
Wang Kainan arrived at the star field about 8 million kilometers away from the Mercury military port one minute after the battle at the Neptune military port started. At this moment, a dense layer of light appeared in front of the fleet, covering the world.
Further detection revealed that the bright light came from the Mercury Military Port. It was a matrix of 3,000 space electromagnetic pulse cannons fired by the Taibor garrison at the fleet led by Wang Kainan. Its area was shocking.
In terms of scale alone, these 3,000 space electromagnetic pulse cannons form a sector about 50 kilometers wide and 200 kilometers long, like the hammer of hell.
Obviously, the Tiberians discovered the incoming fleet and struck first.
Just after the space electromagnetic pulse cannon matrix entered the fleet's outer defense circle, Wang Kainan immediately ordered all ships in the fleet to turn on dark matter protection devices, and at the same time activated the ship's anti-missile and interception systems.
Soon, about 10,000 space anti-missile missiles were fired from the fleet and headed straight for the incoming missiles.
In the dark starry sky, the missile cluster was like a shocking, flaming meteor shower flying toward the target with thundering force...
This is only wave 1.
Wang Kainan launched a total of 3 waves.
Soon, the space electromagnetic pulse cannon matrices and interceptor missile clusters of both sides met head-on. As the exploding light clusters flashed in the starry sky, a magnificent offensive and defensive battle was staged in a vast star field covering an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers. war.
Although Wang Kainan invested more than a terrifying 35,000 interceptor missiles, the interception effect was unsatisfactory due to limited performance and the huge difference in technological level between the two.
Only about 900 of the incoming array of 3,000 space electromagnetic pulse cannons were intercepted, with a success rate of less than one-third.
After breaking through, the enemy's attack matrix went straight to the middle defense circle of Wang Kainan's fleet. Here, the enemy suffered a fierce counterattack. With nearly a thousand medium-range interceptor missiles fired, there was room for about 300 more rounds. The electromagnetic pulse cannon was intercepted and destroyed.
After the enemy broke through the middle defense circle of the fleet, it basically declared that Wang Kainan's fleet had become a veritable target. Although the inner defense circle of the fleet could still play some role, it could not change this fact.
As the enemy's first space electromagnetic pulse cannon hit a "Taimiao" class interstellar warship in the fleet, almost all interstellar ships in the fleet were hit one after another. Thanks to the protection of the dark matter protective barrier, Under the fierce enemy offensive, the fleet only lost two "Rongyu" class starships.
Even so, for this small fleet, the loss rate has exceeded 20%.
Wang Kainan realized the seriousness of the problem. If the current situation continued, let alone shouldering the important task of destroying the Tiberian Mercury military port, it would be a luxury to save this fleet.
The grim fact is that the Tiberians only need to launch four more salvos, and his fleet will be completely buried in the stars.
The strategy must be changed, the Tiberians must be responded to with fierce firepower, and they must not be given any chance to counterattack.
Wang Kainan always firmly believed that this mission was definitely not to kill an egg with an egg against a stone, nor was it to let him die in vain. With Li Jianfeng's work style, there must be great opportunities behind the dangers. It depends on whether he can grasp and understand.
Crisis and opportunity coexist in the ever-changing battlefield.
The opportunity Wang Kainan believes is that humans use intruding virus programs to paralyze the biological protection devices of the Taibo people.
What's more, the mission assigned to him carries an important mission and is an important part of the comprehensive counterattack. All he has to do is to faithfully and resolutely execute the order and complete the attack mission regardless of risk.
Wang Kainan divided the fleet into three and divided it into three columns. They rushed towards the Mercury military port in a wedge-shaped formation. While maneuvering, they launched approximately 3 waves of 32,000 dark matter space missiles at the target.
In order not to give the enemy a chance to breathe, two more armed escort spacecraft were dispatched, leading an assault force composed of about 3,000 space vehicles and 2,000 heavily equipped combat flying mechas to pounce on the enemy port.
It was originally hoped that the three waves of missile attacks could destroy the defense system of the enemy Mercury military port and some interstellar ships in one fell swoop after the intruding virus program paralyzed the enemy's biological protection device. However, it was not until the two armed escort spacecraft led by The assault troops rushed to the outskirts of the military port, but the enemy's biological protection devices were still not disabled.
In just a few minutes, the assault force was completely destroyed under the fierce attack on the enemy's port.
The cloud of failure hangs over Wang Kainan's mind. To be precise, if the battle continues at this rate, failure is inevitable.
To make matters worse, the enemy took action at the port. Wang Kainan noticed that the enemy fired more than 8,000 space electromagnetic pulse cannons at his fleet, and at the same time dispatched about 2,000 space vehicles and 1,500 small interstellar ships. , with great potential to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Wang Kainan behaved extremely calmly. He did not flinch. Since he could no longer complete the mission, he used the most tragic actions to fulfill the mission.
He handed over command to his deputy and asked him to lead a column to retreat backwards to attract the enemy's attacking troops, while he led the other two columns to attack Mercury Naval Port.
He must faithfully carry out the tasks assigned by Li Jianfeng.
Facing the two oncoming columns, the Tiberians did not attack them. In the eyes of the latter, perhaps the former was not a concern at all, and the defense system of Mercury Military Port would soon annihilate them all.
Just when the two columns were about to enter the outer defense circle of Mercury Military Port, Wang Kainan decisively launched a round of missile attacks at the two large interstellar warships in the military port.
Wang Kainan understood that destroying the defense system surrounding the enemy port and protected by biological protection devices was not the goal of this mission. The enemy interstellar ships in the port were the real goal.
Although they also have biological defenses, constant attacks will breach their biological defenses until the target is destroyed.
Giving up attacking the defense system around the enemy's port would completely expose the two columns to the enemy's raging firepower, but there was no other way. Only by concentrating firepower could a surprise victory be achieved.
Suddenly, Wang Kainan saw huge fireballs rising from the hulls of two enemy star warships. He couldn't believe his eyes, because this was the first attack, and the enemy ships' biological protection devices should still be functioning. effect.
"Could it be..."
After a moment, he understood and immediately ordered two columns to launch an indiscriminate all-out attack on the enemy's Mercury military port until all defense systems and interstellar ships were completely destroyed!
Wang Kainan attacked the two interstellar battleships in the enemy port 11 minutes after the mission was launched. At this time, the virus that invaded the Tiberian command center system had just arrived at the sub-command center of the Mercury military port.
In other words, after the virus program was released and loaded at the Neptune military port, it would take 11 minutes and a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers to reach the Mercury military port and take effect.
The virus paralyzed all defense systems in the military port and the biocontainment equipment of the starships.
After 30 minutes of fierce fighting, Wang Kainan completely wiped out the Mercury Military Port at the cost of losing one "Rongyu" class starship, three armed escort spacecraft, about 1,200 space vehicles, and 500 heavily equipped combat flying mechas.
In addition, two large Tiberian star battleships were captured that were undergoing routine maintenance.
The destruction of the Mercury military port deprived the Tiberians of the possibility of threatening human territory on Earth from space and of assisting their own air forces.
The Tiberians' air power on Earth is in jeopardy.
While Wang Kainan led his troops to attack the Mercury military port, the land, sea and air forces affiliated to the Earth Federation Military Department, with the cooperation of the General Administration of Space Military Operations, launched a full-scale war by land, sea and air against the Tiberians entrenched on the earth.
Total war officially breaks out...
