Chapter 1249: Unexpected

Zhang Xiaogang's plan is perfect, and his vision is also beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel.

As soon as the offensive began, all sorts of problems were exposed, and all of them were related to one factor, the combat effectiveness of the corps.

Obviously, Zhang Xiaogang seriously overestimated the combat effectiveness of these legions led by human legion commanders.

Although in these legions, the combat effectiveness of the human legion leader is very strong, and the human super-soldiers and Elamite super-soldiers who are the core of the legion are also very powerful, but the super-soldiers from other intelligent civilizations who occupy the vast majority of them are not very good.

To put it bluntly, the super soldiers of other intelligent civilizations are not suitable for family wars at all.

Although they are all core members of various intelligent civilizations, and they are all powerful and even have high prestige in their respective intelligent civilizations, compared to humans and Elamite, these super soldiers have an irreparable shortcoming, that is, they have never participated in similar wars.

You must know that before they became super soldiers, they were just ordinary intelligent beings.

Even though they had obtained the ninth-level Convergence Star Core, possessed strength second only to that of a super soldier, and had undergone extremely rigorous training after becoming a super soldier, they had never been on the battlefield, nor had they ever fought face-to-face with a real enemy, and they didn't even know the face of the enemy at all. What's more, they do not have the slightest combat experience and do not have the corresponding psychological qualities.

Obviously, training is no substitute for real combat.

In fact, even the human legion commanders and super soldiers have grown up in battle, and only in this way have they been able to survive until now. Most of the incompetent human warriors have died in the previous battles, and only the strongest can withstand the test of war.

In addition, the lack of combat effectiveness of the super soldiers of other intelligent civilizations is only a secondary problem.

Among the many factors that affect the combat effectiveness of the legion, the communication between the Legion Commander and the Super Soldiers, as well as the Legion Leader's control over the Super Soldiers, are extremely important.

Obviously, in the legion led by the commander of the human legion, this is a big problem or a new one.

In the past, there was no similar problem in the Human Legion, that is, the communication between the Human Legion Commander and the Human Super Soldier was simple and fluent. What's more, all human super-soldiers will unconditionally obey the orders given by the Legion Commander. It is precisely because of this that the human legion has shown extremely strong combat effectiveness in the war, even surpassing the Trulli legion.

The problem is that the situation is completely different now.

Although each legion has undergone a long period of training after its formation, this kind of training is more reflected in the command of the legion commander to the legion, that is, the super soldiers in the legion accept and carry out the orders issued by the legion leader, which is not real communication.

In fact, communication between the human legion commander and the super-soldiers of other intelligent civilizations is inherently a big problem.

For the 900 trillion legions that came later, the problem was even more prominent. That is, these legions are sent after they are formed, and the training time is shorter, so there is less communication between the human legion leader and the super soldiers of other intelligent civilizations. Although these super soldiers can carry out the orders given by the legion commander, it is almost impossible to make the entire legion fight like one person, that is, let the legion commander command every super soldier in the legion like an arm, and fully exert the combat effectiveness of the legion. The point is, many super soldiers simply can't accurately understand the orders given by the legion commander.

Obviously, such a corps simply does not have strong combat effectiveness.

In fact, such a problem exists even among the super soldiers of the Elamates.

Don't forget, nine out of ten of the Elama's super-soldiers are clone super-soldiers, and these super-soldiers are born without a full individual consciousness. Although in the later training, these clone super soldiers gradually grew into truly intelligent individuals and possessed a complete individual consciousness, they still had a lot of shortcomings compared to those Elamites who had bred out. The implication is that when it comes to combat, the independence of these clone super-soldiers is very poor. If you are in the Legion and fight with the Legion Commander, they perform very well. However, when it comes to allowing them to fight the enemy alone, the problem is exposed. To put it simply, there is a serious lack of flexibility, and many clone super soldiers will only fight to the death, and they don't know that retreating at the right time is also an effective way to defeat the enemy, and fighting to the death may not bring the best results.

Obviously, these problems directly led to the fact that the combat effectiveness of the corps was much worse than before.

Of course, it is not accurate to say this, that is, these current legions are no longer human legions, but only legions of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations led by the commander of the human legions. Obviously, it cannot be compared with the human legion, and there is naturally no comparison in terms of combat effectiveness.

In addition to the problems of the Legion of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations itself, there is a more serious problem.

That is, Zhang Xiaogang underestimated the war strength of the Tawakh military group, that is, the combat effectiveness of those Tawah legions.

The combat effectiveness of a legion, in addition to the cooperation and coordination within the legion, is to a large extent related to the combat skills mastered by the legion. Obviously, the combat skills that the legion can master are related to the science and technology mastered by the intelligent civilization to which the legion belongs.

Obviously, the scientific and technological skills mastered by the Alliance of Wisdom and Civilization are certainly not comparable to those of the Tawakh, let alone the military group of the Tawakhs. You must know that after the military group of the Tawakh people was controlled by Beka, they must have received the full support of Beka, and they also obtained a lot of science and technology from Beka, and some of them were not even mastered by the creator. Otherwise, the strength of the Tawah military group would not be so strong, and it would be impossible for them to defeat the Gleka family so quickly. If the Bekka wanted to rely on the Tawakh to win the family war, he would unreservedly support the Tawakh military community.

It can be seen that even the human legion may not be the opponent of the Tawah military race.

The problem is that Zhang Xiaogang is not fully prepared for this.

This is not surprising, at least in previous wars, the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations has never faced such a formidable opponent as the Tawakh military race. Even in the war with the Trulli, the combat effectiveness displayed by the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations is trustworthy. Besides, the Trulli people have the full support of Abaka, and they have also obtained a lot of advanced science and technology from Abarca, and their combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of human civilization. As a result, Zhang Xiaogang took it for granted that the combat effectiveness of the Tawakh military group was not necessarily above that of the Trulli, and it was not necessarily much stronger than the legions of the Alliance of Wisdom and Civilization.

Obviously, the reality is another matter.

In almost all star systems, the legions of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations are in trouble, mainly because they have not been able to capture the star systems according to the plan.

For example, in a star system known as Tata, the one million legions invested by the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations only completed the encirclement and blockade of the star system, but failed to successfully eliminate the approximately 100,000 legions of the Tawah military group guarding the star system as planned, and the result turned into a full-scale melee, with the legions of both sides no longer fighting in the most effective way, but fighting one-on-one. In many cases, it even became a battle between the commanders and the super soldiers on both sides. Obviously, such a way of fighting is extremely backward and not very efficient, and both warring sides will suffer extremely heavy losses. As a result, although the legions of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations finally captured this star system and wiped out all the super soldiers of the Tawah military group guarding this star system, they suffered extremely heavy losses, half of the one million legions participating in the battle were completely ineffective, and even tens of thousands of legion commanders were killed, while other legions were also reduced by more than half, a total of about seventy percent of the super soldiers were killed. In other words, the losses suffered by the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations far exceeded those of the Tawakh military group.

In fact, the battle in the Tata system was relatively smooth.

In more than half of the star systems, the legions of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations have not been able to complete the task of capturing the star system in the time planned. Even in the other half of the star systems, the legions of the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations have completed their mission, and they have suffered extremely heavy losses.

Of the 100 trillion legions that participated in the war, 60% completely lost their combat effectiveness, and more than 10 trillion corps commanders were killed.

Obviously, such a result was far beyond Zhang Xiaogang's expectations.

This also raises a new question. That is, in order to defend these captured star systems, Zhang Xiaogang must use reserves in advance.

To put it bluntly, the legion responsible for the attack is simply not capable of holding these star systems.

As long as the Tawah military clan retaliates, these systems can be easily recaptured. Obviously, if the hard-won star system is lost, all the previous losses will be meaningless, and the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations will lose the initiative.

Zhang Xiaogang had no choice but to use the reserves.

This means that after being counterattacked by the Tawakh military community, the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations will not have enough troops in its hands to deal with the unexpected situation. As long as the Tawah military clan is determined to launch a counterattack and commits enough troops, it will be able to defeat the Alliance of Intelligent Civilizations once and for all.
