Chapter 523: Star Field Decisive Battle (2)
The frontal front of the coalition began to slowly press forward after the situation stabilized, and the powerful fleet firepower was also completely suppressing the Zerg defense.
One after another brilliant energy rays were released from the camps of both sides, and exploded in the other camps, and clusters of violent energy fluctuations continued to impact the units of the two armies, and the battlefield situation was very intense.
In the process of advancing the coalition forces, the attack of the Zerg also dealt a great blow to the coalition front. One after another, the battleships fell and exploded under the dense attack of the Zerg, but the positions of these battleships would be immediately filled by the replacement positions in the rear, and the entire formation was still intact.
On the other hand, the situation in the Zerg camp is not so optimistic.
In the first few stages, when the Zerg side was on the attacking side, those heavy beetles with strong defenses were often lined up in the first line to cover the firepower output or assault actions of other Zerg. Therefore, it was inevitable that it was taken care of by the defensive firepower of the coalition forces.
The results speak for themselves, no matter how thick the defensive capabilities of these heavy beetles are, it is impossible to resist the attack of the super-sized planetary defensive firepower on those defense planets, and naturally there are heavy casualties.
This also led to the consequence that the Zerg now did not have enough heavy beetles to coordinate the defense of the front.
In this case, the coalition forces also deliberately divided the fleet into several branches, although these branches except for the fleets on the frontal battlefield launched attacks, but no one dared to guarantee that the branches of these coalition fleets would suddenly burst out and attack.
The reality of the situation forced the Zerg to send out these only remaining troops with the ability to carry the line in order to be comprehensive.
Therefore, even if it is a real frontal battlefield, the defensive backbone that can be divided is very limited, which also causes the Zerg's frontal front to lack cohesion and defensive ability.
With such a lineup to defend against a heavily armed coalition formation, especially this powerful attack group with heavy warships, the Zerg's frontal defense line has faintly shown signs of being broken up.
The advance of the frontal fleet forced the Zerg army on the defensive to deploy more troops on the frontal front for reinforcement.
These Zerg troops that were deployed were not those reserve troops that were behind the defensive line, but those that were temporarily transferred directly from other fronts, especially those heavy Zerg troops that could quickly stabilize the front.
As a result, the defenses of the other lines of defense become weaker.
But even so, the effect of such a deployment by the Zerg command center was immediate.
The newly arrived Zerg forces quickly stabilized the frontal line of the drumming front, and quickly launched a counterattack against the advancing coalition fleet.
A round of intensive firepower counterattack really made the coalition forces feel a little pain, and they had to pause the pace of the assault, began to slowly reverse, and retreated to the rear.
However, the intensity of the battle between the two sides did not decrease in the slightest, but also made the battle more intense because of the addition of fresh blood from the Zerg Front.
At this time, the first echelon that had been hidden behind the Zerg flank also officially began their actions, and the entire fleet began to advance slowly.
The flames of the tail thrusters of the fleet battleships began to change from sporadic blue flames to huge pale blue flames, and this tremendous energy quickly pushed the fleet out of the previous hidden area, completely exposing it to the eyes of the Zerg defense front.
The Zerg obviously did not expect that there could be such a large coalition front in such a remote corner, because in the direction of the first echelon of assault, the Zerg did not have a single defensive force at all.
Judging by the distance between the two sides, with the speed of the coalition assault fleet, it only takes twenty minutes to successfully reach the Zerg line.
And twenty minutes was simply not enough time for the Zerg to rearrange the defensive line, and even to transfer troops from other fronts.
In desperation, the Zerg could only call in the reserve troops they kept, and then slowly transfer them back.
This time, the wartime command of the first echelon once again fell on Zhang Yunfan, and with his combat style, he naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, so in order to meet the operational requirements, he directly divided the echelon into two parts.
The first part is the assault detachment led by him, among which, with his Celestial Shadow Fleet and the Heavenly Determination Fleet of the Moon Immortal as the main force, under its banner are a number of assault fleets that are known for their speed.
They will rush forward as fast as they can, and strive to break through the Zerg defense line and rush into their camp before the Zerg troops have formed a defensive formation, disrupting the Zerg's defensive rhythm from the inside and speeding up the combat process of the coalition forces.
The remaining heavy firepower fleets were naturally divided into the second part, and the representatives of them were Tianling and Tianyu fleets.
However, these troops are not without any tasks, they will be the fire support of the first part, and if the battle goes well, they will also follow the gap made by the first part of the assault into the interior of the Zerg camp, where they will re-establish the defensive line, so as to assist the first part of the combat operation.
In the communication channel of the four, several people also discussed the echelon's plan of action.
"Are you sure that's really okay?" Yue Linxian, who was in the first part, couldn't help but feel a little worried about the dangerous mission that his fleet would undertake, and said, "Didn't the headquarters let us carry out a diversion operation? We ...... now"
"We're also carrying out a containment operation now!" Zhang Yunfan said slowly: "Besides, the issued orders also allow us to act cheaply, and there is no clear regulation of our combat methods. It's just that the place is set inside for better results, nothing! ”
"It's nothing!" Yue Linxian said a little hurriedly, but after only a while, he seemed to give up and said: "Forget it, it's still unknown whether you can successfully break through anyway, and you kid is also with you, no matter what, you can have a backer!" ”
"We go to war, not to die, don't say that we can't come back!" Zhang Yunfan said with a wry smile.
Subsequently, in the process of fleet assault, Zhang Yunfan briefly repeated the specific steps of the operation, especially the precautions in the second part of the fleet operation.
"Brother Ling, once we really rush in, the rear fleet must pay attention to the suppression of the firepower of the breakthrough, at least make it impossible to reorganize the front normally, otherwise the consequences may be very serious." Zhang Yunfan said solemnly to Ling Aocang at the end.
This last reminder also made the other three people understand that the entire combat operation was not as easy as Zhang Yunfan's realization before, and the whole battle must be a dangerous one.
