Chapter 39: Counteroffensive and Cold Bench

On September 12, 623, the Third Fleet stationed in the Sea Lion Star Area started a counteroffensive operation......

The entire Third Fleet was divided into dozens of small fleets and sent to various places to carry out clearance missions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn the original fleet operation, dispersing forces to this extent would definitely be considered a gross violation of the rules of war. Because, for the Zerg who are good at stealth ambushes, this will give them a chance to break through.

But now there are basically no such concerns!

The Zerg lost the control of the "leader", and no longer had the forbearance and restraint of the past. Whenever they encounter anything after them, they will burst out and attack.

Today, the Zerg have killed each other to the point where it is enough to jaw the onlookers. These zergs are divided into several factions according to their own racial form, and the brutal fighting between them has never stopped. Now, the Zerg that can move freely in the universe is less than one percent of the original.

If it were only this amount, even a small fleet could successfully hold them back. At that time, as soon as the main fleet is closed, the Zerg in the universe can be completely wiped out. After that, you can clear the planets occupied by the Zerg one by one.

Now, the most important thing for the Third Fleet is time, and they need to cherish all the time to fight the Zerg for speed. They must finish the war in this zone before the new "leader" of the Zerg arrives from the rear of the Zerg, otherwise when a new batch of Zerg arrives in large numbers, the war will return to the war of attrition they most want to fight.

Therefore, although this method of operation is a bit risky, it is also the best option for the Third Fleet at present.

However, for now, the results are good. The cosmic Zerg in the three planetary regions have been swept away, and humanity has reclaimed most of the areas occupied by the Zerg. At this rate, it will only take a day to reclaim the entire area.

And on the planet occupied by the Zerg, the landing of the clearance force was also unexpectedly smooth. There are no more subtle cooperation between the Zerg, and there are no more hidden and invisible ambushes, and the current Zerg are just some machines that only know how to kill.

Their current team is all a single race, and whenever they encounter humans or other types of Zerg races, they will not hesitate to attack them, and sometimes, they will even attack their own race.

And for the coalition's clearance forces, there is nothing more to be happy about.

They no longer have to risk their lives to search the dark caves one by one, they only need to put a few fake targets on the ground, make some noise, or sprinkle some animal flesh and blood, and they can lead to a large number of crazy zergs.

All they have to do is sit in the comfort of a landing craft or battleship, press the gun button or pull the trigger of the gun.

At this stage, all the members of the Third Fleet were very excited after hearing about the series of victories at the front. It seems to have regained its former glory as the main fleet of the Alliance Theater of Operations. Of course, not all of them. For example, Ye Su's department, who was ordered not to participate in the battle, and Zhang Yunfan, who had just been promoted.

Just an hour before the start of the counteroffensive, Zhang Yunfan, who was going to continue to command his temporary integrated fleet to participate in the counteroffensive, received his new letter of appointment.

He was honorably promoted to deputy commander of the Third Fleet's main supply base. This was originally a position that could only be held by the rank of brigadier general or above, but now, it is a bit unbelievable that Zhang Yunfan, as a junior lieutenant colonel who has just been promoted, has been appointed to such a position.

Although the letter of appointment said that it was due to his outstanding contributions to Operation Hurricane and Zerg intelligence, Zhang Yunfan knew in his heart that this was just an excuse. Although he was fully mentally prepared, he inevitably felt a sense of loss.

"Don't think so? This can't all be blamed on the commander, there is a death order from above, and he can't do anything about it. Firin, who served him with a letter of appointment, advised.

This letter of appointment is cruel, which is equivalent to directly cutting off all the passages of a soldier to the front line, which means that he will say goodbye to the front line forever. However, this may be like pie in the sky for others, but Fei Lin knows that Zhang Yunfan is different from others.

He didn't care how high his official position was, nor did he care what kind of danger he would experience, he just wanted to be a commander on the front line, and he just wanted to use everything he had learned to do something for the Alliance. But now, that desire has been wiped out.

Fei Lin knew what Zhang Yunfan's mood was now, so she stayed by his side after sending the letter of appointment. Fleet Command seemed to know this, even though Filine had been here for several hours and had not received a message urging her to return.

"Look at it!" Fei Lin began to persuade Zhang Yunfan again. "Actually, the work there is the same, they all contribute to the alliance!"

"I know~~~" After a few hours, Zhang Yunfan finally spoke again to respond. He continued, as if he were talking to Firin, and as if he was comforting himself. "I'm used to it anyway! It's not the first time again! ”

"Uh~~~~" For a while, Fei Lin didn't know how to answer, but she heard Zhang Yunfan say: "Hey~~~ Forget it!" ”

Zhang Yunfan stood up, stretched his waist, and the sense of loss on his body disappeared without a trace in an instant, only to see him standing in front of Fei Lin, bending down, making a very standard gentleman's salute, and said with a smile: "Beautiful young lady, would you like to show me a new working environment?" ”

"Happy~!" Fei Lin got up and grabbed Zhang Yunfan's outstretched hand and responded with a smile. Although she knew that Zhang Yunfan's heart knot would not be so easy to untie, and it was likely that he was acting for her now, she was also a little relieved. After all, it's a lot better than not even being able to act fake just now.

――――――――――――――――

And Ye Su, who is also on the list of prohibited players, does not have such a good mentality as Zhang Yunfan.

Just before their fleet was ready to set sail, a temporary notice came from the command. Saying that their fleet had suffered a lot of losses due to the failure of Operation Tempest, the command of the Third Fleet hereby allowed them not to participate in this operation. This justification is clearly perfunctory.

Although many people in their fleet did not want to admit it, this operation was indeed thanks to Zhang Yunfan's early response, so that they did not have much substantial losses, and those abandoned equipment were gradually replenished in the past few days. It can be said that they are much stronger than when they first arrived in the Third Fleet.

And what made them speechless the most was that even several fleets that were badly beaten in the late attack of the Zerg were transferred to the front line, while their "fully manned" fleet could only watch silently from the rear.

"We don't want to come here to help them, and in the end they did this to us!"

"It's ~ that's ~ it's the end, don't let us go, let's take the credit?"

"What a villain!"

…………

The crowd in the command room of Ye Su's department was indignant, and a number of officers denounced the injustice of the command headquarters. Only a handful of people can remain calm at the moment.

"That's it! Stop arguing! Ye Su shouted. Command naturally has a reason to do this, and you are insulting our superiors now! Give me a good time to go back and reflect on it! ”

I have to say that Ye Su is still very prestigious in his own troops. As soon as his words fell, the crowd, which was still noisy, suddenly fell silent, and then left the command room in a gloomy manner.

After everyone left, Ye Su turned to a few of his cronies and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

"It is clear that the entire combat operation was hidden from us, and we were not even informed of the pre-war meeting!" Anger was the first to respond. "If it weren't for the news coming from other troops, we wouldn't even know the information about the operation itself!"

"Indeed!" Ye Su nodded in affirmation, and then turned his head to look at Gu Xishuang, who was in a trance: "Xiao Gu~Xiao Gu~"

"Huh~~?" shouted twice in a row, and Gu Xishuang finally reacted. "What's the matter?"

"I want to ask you, do you have any clue about this?" Ye Su was a little strange, and seemed to be a little concerned and asked, "Are you okay?" It's weird all day! ”

"No~~ It's okay!"

"Hey~~! Forget it~ Don't hold on, go to the infirmary to rest! Ye Su sighed and continued: "Anyway, there is nothing to do today, you can go and rest!" ”

"Yes~!" Gu Xishuang knew that she was in a state where she really couldn't continue to attend the meeting, so she got up and said goodbye to Ye Su and the others.

After Ye Su watched Gu Xishuang walk out of the command room, he turned around and said to the remaining people, "Come on!" The meeting continues! ”
