30 minutes later!

50 kilometers directly in front of the Earth Alliance, 214 warships have been assembled, and as the commander-in-chief of the Earth Alliance, who is now the front-line commander, Xing Feng, has also landed in the command room of a "floating-class" drone carrier.

Under the command and control of Xingfeng, the entire battleship was re-formed.

There were scouts in ancient wars, scouts in modern wars, and there are also such combat posts in the battlefields in space.

The high-speed reconnaissance destroyer is a space scout, which was arranged to set off by Xingfeng in advance, and was 2,000 kilometers ahead of the fleet, maintaining a high level of alert and reporting the situation at any time.

The main formation kept the battleships in front, the cruisers in the middle, the aircraft carriers on the sides and up and down, the frigates and flagships in the rear, and the destroyers of various functional types, with divisions in the front, middle and rear, performing their respective duties.

After forming an advance formation, the combined fleet sailed forward at a speed of 5,000 kilometers per hour without hurrying.

Perhaps because they felt that strategic cruisers were unnecessary, none of the four major alliances on the earth were built, but the scheme of using aircraft carriers as secondary meat shields was adopted.

And the Huanyu Group has the Yate Clan and the Prawn Clan, who know more about space combat, and know that the battlecruiser does not seem to have much effect, but in fact it has a great effect.

The battlecruisers that exist as firefighters can go up to buy valuable resource time for the middle and rear warships in the event of a crisis, which is far from being comparable to aircraft carriers.

Therefore, Huanyu Group has built 22 ships, ensuring that each warship formation has one or two.

But then again, the first-class battleship is not loaded with energy shield equipment, and the role of the battlecruiser is indeed not as good as that of an aircraft carrier.

But with a shield are completely two concepts, and in the ensuing battle, it is foreseeable that the battlecruiser will inevitably play a very strong role.

The Ghanaian fleet and the combined fleet were moving in opposite directions, and in less than two hours, they were discovered simultaneously by high-speed reconnaissance warships from both sides.

Both sides were high-speed and highly mobile warships, and there was no fire friction, and they both chose to send an alarm signal to the main fleet in the rear at the first time.

The United Earth Fleet was on the defensive, so it immediately stopped moving forward and formed a battle formation on the spot.

All torpedo destroyers were dispatched and began to set up invisible minefields on the periphery of the fleet to block the space to prevent the enemy from violently breaking up their defensive formations with acceleration engines.

High-speed early warning destroyers are deployed around the perimeter of the fleet to prevent the enemy's stealth bombing formation from entering and sneaking in.

As the best street fighting destroyer of all warships, the interceptor destroyer is responsible for protecting the AWACS destroyer and torpedo destroyer.

All the frigates were divided among the four aircraft carriers, that is, three false targets were set up.

The purpose is to make it impossible for the enemy's reconnaissance warships to accurately determine which one is the flagship of the Earth United Fleet.

The battleships were at the forefront, evenly arranged at a density of 500 meters, presenting a vertical shield formation.

The cruiser group, which was 50 kilometers behind the battleship, adopted a triangular formation of three cruisers, and all the cruisers collectively formed a large triangular firepower array.

The entire formation of the cruiser's firepower was located in the center of the rear of the shield battleship, so that it could be best protected from enemy shells hitting the rear.

The remaining 11 aircraft carriers, four of which are stealth bombing carriers, are located in four directions above and below the cruiser formation, to the left and right.

Bombing formations can be formed at any time to carry out intensive bombardment of various areas of the enemy.

There are four aircraft carriers carrying high-speed space fighters, which are flagships and camouflage flagships in the rear, and after thousands of space fighters are all lifted into the air, they can also join forces with the surrounding frigates to ensure the safety of the rear.

Three more were drone carriers, temporarily replacing the role of battlecruisers.

Between the "Tank Shield" and the "Firepower Triangle", there is a 50-kilometer buffer zone, in which three drone carriers are arranged in a line-up formation.

The more than 1,000 drones on the three aircraft carriers, although not as resistant to beating as the battle cruisers, can win in a relatively large number and can also suffer a lot of damage.

Moreover, if there is a combat mission required, it can also assist the battleships advancing in front and harass the heavy battleships in the front row of the enemy.

……

The Combined Earth Fleet responded, and the Ghanaian warship formation also spotted the Combined Earth Fleet coming to meet the enemy through the front-line reconnaissance warships.

And through the intelligence gathering of the stealth reconnaissance warship, it was known that the Earth United Fleet had stopped advancing, and set up a defensive formation in place.

The first response of the Ghanaian fleet was to shut down the acceleration engines, which significantly slowed down the overall advance of the fleet.

Without space jump support, high-speed entry is a fool's errand.

As a warlike interstellar colony group, the Ghana clan has fought countless battles, and they naturally have a complete response plan for the defense means that the United Fleet can think of.

The entire Ghanaian warship formation maintained a speed of 10,000 kilometers per hour and "slowly" advanced forward.

A large number of light and small warships with anti-hidden early warning capabilities accelerated away from the main fleet group and roamed in front of the fleet to clear possible minefields.

All kinds of light and small stealth reconnaissance warships, as well as warships with high-speed assault battles, began to be sent in large numbers to the area where the Earth United Fleet is located.

Gather intelligence on the enemy, it's a must for the battle!

With the arrival of a large number of Ghanaian warships, the main fleet in front of them did not even see a shadow, and the light and small warships between minelaying and demining around reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance were fighting first on the periphery.

Both sides joined the battle with small warships, various interception warships, high-speed warships, electronic early warning warships, stealth reconnaissance warships, and so on.

Looking at it from a distance, in the area of 1,000 to 2,000 kilometers outside the entire Earth United Fleet, all kinds of shells and warships are constantly shuttling through the dark universe at extremely high speeds.

Space is a vacuum, where there is no matter where sound can be transmitted, and there is no deafening explosion like when a war breaks out on Earth.

But when every warship was blown up, the scene was even more terrifying than on Earth.

The destroyers of the Earth United Fleet have their own oxygen inside, and every explosion is a flame into the sky, and all kinds of blown metal fragments can fly out of dozens of kilometers in an instant.

When the Ghanaian warship exploded, although there was no flame, the unloaded unknown energy exploded, emitting a dazzling light like a small sun.

The light of various explosions flickered across the universe from time to time, making the strange bloodiness on this silent battlefield no less than any battle on Earth.

Xing Feng looked at the green dot on the radar, which was disappearing at a very fast speed, realized that something was wrong, and immediately asked the adjutant beside him, "How about the loss of our peripheral warships?" ”

"Report to the commander that the number of enemy invasion warships exceeds 50, and our destroyers are less than 29, and the current losses have reached 7."

"There are 50 warships sent to harass them, and it seems that the size of the enemy's fleet is far more than 212." Hearing the adjutant's report, Xing Feng realized that the information was wrong, and his brows couldn't help but tighten up.

Although the outer battlefield is full of small guys fighting, the peripheral positions are very important, whether they can prevent the enemy from stealth bombing battleships sneak attack, protect the flagship from being exposed, etc., depends on whether these destroyers can hold their positions.

Now that the enemy has an overall advantage, if Xingfeng can't deal with this situation in time, it will inevitably make the next frontal battle fall into passivity.

After pondering for a minute, Xing Feng decisively ordered: "Send all the flagship's space fighters out to support the external destroyer formation, and be sure to defend it for me." ”

"Roger, Commander!" Although the adjutant couldn't understand the commander of Xingfeng, why did he transfer all the space fighters that saved the last life of the flagship.

However, under the duty of the soldiers to obey the order, the order was still carried out in a timely manner.

The firepower and endurance of space fighters are far inferior to interceptor destroyers, and it can be said that they are not on the same level at all.

But now it belongs to the defending side, the combat radius is very close, and the number occupies an absolute advantage, which more or less makes up for some of the shortcomings of the space fighter.

More than 200 space fighters joined the battle, and the situation on the periphery finally stabilized.

Without the kind of crazy attack between them, the sharp momentum of hitting a distance of 1,000 kilometers in one breath was reached.

After a small half-hour battle, the invasion formation of the Ghana tribe lost 20 warships, the United Earth Fleet lost 19 destroyers of various types, and the number of supporting space fighters was 25.

The two sides were on the periphery of the Earth Joint Warship, near an area of about 500 kilometers, and each of them was damaged back and forth, and they were temporarily caught in a stalemate battle.

That's when it happened!

Xingfeng had been staring at the main radar screen, and more than 200 small red dots appeared.

The farthest detection range of the float-class aircraft carrier radar has reached 12,000 kilometers, and these red dots can now appear, which means that the main fleet of the Ghanaian formation has now entered this distance.

The ship's radar can detect the enemy, which means that the ship's fire control system can also lock on to the enemy's ships.

As long as it is within the range of the main gun, the heavy artillery bombardment between the main battleships in the frontal battlefield and the muscle collision between armored warships will explode in this solar system.

It was also the first known interstellar war in the entire solar system.

The world's 7 billion people and the base camp of the rear fleet are all paying attention to this battle, and everyone knows very well in their hearts that the victory or defeat of this battle does not matter.

Whether or not we can obtain more effective and reliable information about the enemy through this small-scale engagement and get more information about these enemies is the most critical and important point of this battle.
