Chapter 279: Proving Strength

The temporary fleet began to act according to Du Yu's instructions, and due to the smooth progress of the previous battle, no detachment went back to doubt the instructions of the fleet headquarters. The entire fleet was flexible and maneuverable, slowly dividing into more than a dozen fleets and moving towards their respective mission objectives.

Zhang Yunfan and Yi Lexuan silently watched Du Yu calmly command in front of the star projection in the center of the command room. In front of them, a star projection was also unfolded, and the two of them also faced this projection without saying a word.

Du Yu was very excited at this time, this was the first time he had commanded such a large-scale battle, and the enemy he faced was also unprecedentedly strong, which also made him excited at the same time, but also a little nervous.

He carefully observed the projected positions of each fleet on the projection of the star sector, and consolidated the current situation.

He understood that this was a chance for Zhang Yunfan to prove himself.

In this battle, Zhang Yunfan served as the commander of the fleet in his name, and the results achieved and the merits he made will undoubtedly be counted on his head by the alliance headquarters. What he can be sure of is that as long as the alliance can win this battle, he will definitely be promoted.

But this is not what he wants, and the promotion is what he expects, but he hopes to rely on his own ability to get the opportunity for promotion, rather than being promoted by the merits of others in his name as he is now.

Therefore, this battle is definitely an opportunity for him to prove his ability, as long as this battle is won, he can completely hold his head up and accept the commendation given to him by his superiors, without the slightest shame.

Therefore, Du Yu has already done everything he can, and he must win the battle at this stage.

In front of Du Yu, the large interstellar projection showed the location and direction of the expected march of each fleet, and he carefully calculated the time, and it would take about thirty minutes for each fleet to reach the secret assembly place.

Time flies, thirty minutes is over in the blink of an eye, and the various detachments of the provisional fleet have reached the predetermined attack position.

Du Yu nervously observed the Zerg army that continued to encircle and suppress, and before they retreated, Zhang Yunfan had already ordered a large number of landing craft to be arranged in various expected attack directions of the Zerg to be used as disposable detectors.

And the massive destruction of these landing craft also provided the fleet with the main direction of the Zerg attack, and the combat plan formulated by Zhang Yunfan and the attack arranged by Du Yu were also planned based on the information transmitted back.

It was found that the Zerg had not changed their encirclement plan, and were still moving towards the non-existent Alliance fleet in the center of their encirclement, so it had been judged that each fleet could already make the next move.

However, he did not issue direct orders to the fleets to attack. This kind of long-distance real-time communication must be used by the alliance's high-power energy communication, which is very easy to be discovered by the Zerg.

On the projection map in front of him, the positions of the various fleets marked were inferred from their pre-war plans, and in fact, they did not know the specific location of each fleet at the moment.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Yunfan's previous practice was to directly divide the fleet into two fleets and command them separately to form two independent combat subjects.

However, the alliance's approach is relatively tricky, at the same time as the headquarters decides the direction of the attack, the front-line troops choose the timing of the attack, and when the two sides exchange fire, the attacking fleet takes the initiative to contact the command headquarters, and the headquarters organization begins to coordinate and command in wartime.

As the orthodox successor of the alliance fleet, Du Yu naturally sacrificed this classic tactic of the alliance fleet.

As a result, on the projection of the flagship command room, the various fleets of the alliance were still not moving in the predetermined attack positions, but in fact, where they were, the headquarters was not very clear.

On the command platform, Zhang Yunfan and Yi Lexuan also looked at the single projection map in front of them that was synchronized with the large projection, and were silent.

Between the two, it was still Yi Lexuan who broke each other's calm, and then said: "Zhang Yunfan, do you think you can win the battle at this stage?" ”

"Difficult!" Zhang Yunfan replied lightly.

"Is there any basis for this?" Yi Lexuan asked again.

"The fleets are so scattered that it is difficult to form cooperation with each other, which is almost fatal! And ......," Zhang Yunfan groaned.

"And what?" Yi Lok Xuan immediately asked.

Zhang Yunfan didn't answer immediately, but just looked at Du Yu, who was staring at the projection map over there, and immediately said: "He can't be busy with this level of battle!" ”

"Then I'll go and see if he wants to help?"

"Forget it, give him a chance to perform, or he will find it difficult to accept even the post-war award......" Zhang Yunfan said lightly. If you can't wait until you can't do it, we'll go on again, and you'll have to give me more strength when the time comes! ”

"Yes!" Yi Lexuan agreed, but then asked, "Then how long do you think this one can last?" ”

"To be honest, I don't know much about his ability, but being able to serve as the supreme commander of the assault fleet at this age must not be an ordinary person!" Zhang Yunfan said lightly.

When Yi Le Xuan heard this, he didn't say anything more. "Then let's see how capable this Supreme Commander really is!"

————————————————————

Since the timing of the battle was decided in the hands of the various front-line commanders, the time to launch the attack naturally came first, and the fleet that launched the attack first was naturally the Zerg fleet closest to them.

At the moment of attack, the commander of the fleet also directly began to connect with the flagship of the fleet.

At the same time, the position of the detachment on the projection map was adjusted and appeared on the stereoscopic projection, and at the same time, the Zerg troops they faced were also displayed on the entire projection map along with these adjustments.

And these, whether it was Du Yu, Yi Lexuan, or Zhang Yunfan, or every member in the command room who was observing this projection, their eyes widened and they looked surprised.

On the opposite side of this fleet, a whole 200,000 Zerg army was staring at these guerrilla fleets of only 800 warships, and this scene was completely a big man looking at a toddler who accidentally hammered him, and the whole scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Everyone in the entire command platform looked at each other, and Du Yu didn't know whether to continue the attack or retreat for the time being. Just when he was hesitating, he heard a shout from the command platform: "What are you doing in a daze!" Evacuate! ”

In a hurry, Du Yu didn't have time to think about it at all, he reacted completely subconsciously, and directly sent this order out according to the instructions made by this voice.

The detachment immediately began to retreat, but it was only a bland retreat, watching the movements of this detachment, as if the retreat made their boss unwilling.
