Chapter 424: The Beginning of the War
Finally, after everything was finalized, the coalition finally set the date for the counterattack three days after today, which was considered to give each expeditionary corps a final time to adjust.
Zhang Yunfan sat on the side window of the command room, quietly looking at the rows of cutting-edge warships displayed outside the window silently, there are still three days before these fleets will be pulled out and headed for the Zerg occupation area that has been strictly prepared.
This time, he was no longer commanding the automated fleets, the warships outside were all real humans, and as a commander from the Alliance Military Academy, he knew very well what they were going to face, and a large part of these warships on display might not be able to return.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Yu gently came to Zhang Yunfan's side, looked at him staring out the window, and couldn't help asking.
Hearing the question, Zhang Yunfan turned his head silently, smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just a sigh!" ”
"What do you feel?"
"Hmm......" Zhang Yunfan pondered for a moment, but did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "How is the preparation of each fleet?" ”
"You're almost ready!" Xuan Yu nodded silently and said, "Now the various fleets are being debugged and tested, and they can set off at any time!" ”
"That's good!" As he spoke, Zhang Yunfan stood up from the windowsill, slowly walked to the starry sky projection in the center of the command room, stood still, and remained silent.
This time, Xuan Yu did not choose to continue to follow, and the others in the command room also stayed away from that area with interest, leaving Zhang Yunfan alone and thinking silently.
Zhang Yunfan stared at the starry sky projection silently, silent, but in fact, under this silence, his thoughts were rapidly calculating.
Since the coalition command only gave each expeditionary corps a general strategic direction of attack in the final strategic planning, all the specific plans of action still had to be decided by each expeditionary corps themselves.
As for the side of the Ming Legion, the First Expeditionary Corps commanded by Zhu Yu refused to cooperate with Zhang Yunfan's Second Expeditionary Corps, so they had their own action strategies and did not need to be cared about by others, and the main formulation of the action plan of the Second Expeditionary Corps naturally fell on Zhang Yunfan.
Although the action plan already has a detailed operational strategy, Zhang Yunfan, who is well aware of the role of the constantly changing battlefield situation, does not dare to be careless in the slightest, and has been sorting out his thoughts and testing the accuracy of the action plan.
After a long time, Zhang Yunfan slowly moved his gaze away from the starry sky projection, silently returned to the command platform, sat down slowly, and began to close his eyes to recuperate, while Xuan Yu silently walked in from behind, and handed him a cup of tea for a little sluggish.
The three days passed quickly, and at 0:00 on the fourth day, the various expeditionary corps were drawn from different subordinate areas at the same time, and the whole operation was on a grand scale, and the entire starry sky was lit up by the tail flames of the coalition warships.
It didn't take long for the powerful forces, which were already in the front-line defense array, to cross the dividing line between the star fields and begin their operations in the Zerg occupation zone.
———————————————————
Dead silence, dead silence. This is Zhang Yunfan's only impression of what is reflected in his gaze.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, the void in Zhang Yunfan's eyes has been infected by a gray mist, everything has become extremely abnormal, and his only feeling is that this star field is dead.
On the electronic screen of the battleship, the planet that was originally blue or earthy brown has now been completely contaminated with an unknown blue-green substance, completely losing its original color, and everything here is undoubtedly caused by the Zerg.
"What the hell is going on!?" Xuan Yi on the side was a little unwilling to believe his eyes, and asked Zhang Yunfan directly.
"This is recorded in the history of the Alliance!" Zhang Yunfan didn't care if Xuan Yi's question was in line with the rules, and said directly: "In the alliance records, when the alliance captured the war zone, the planets in the war zone were basically the same as the current state of these planets, which should be the characteristics of the Zerg war zone!" ”
"Is that so?" Xuan Yi tilted his head and said, "So, are there Zerg on these planets?" ”
"Eight or nine is not far from ten!" Zhang Yunfan said lightly.
Although this conjecture has been determined, the entire expeditionary corps did not directly change its direction because of this, but according to the original plan, the entire fleet did not carry out any dispersal, and continued to grope forward.
Just as Zhang Yunfan was concentrating on observing the surrounding situation, the communication channel within the legion suddenly sounded, and after being connected, the figures of Ling Aocang and the other three appeared in front of Zhang Yunfan.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Yunfan raised his eyes and glanced at the three of them, and said, "I have already uploaded a detailed question about the Zerg, do you have any questions?" ”
"It's about the ...... of that turquoise planet," Moon Immortal said first.
"Any questions?" Zhang Yunfan was a little puzzled. "That planet has been occupied by the Zerg, and it is considered the standard hive of the Zerg, does this still need to be discussed?"
"It's not about that!" Yue Linxian continued to explain: "I want to see if we should change the direction of action and take down that planet first, otherwise if we really go to the back with the Zerg, this planet will stab us in the back again, and then we will ......."
"It's not that I don't want to!" Zhang Yunfan sighed and said: "As long as the detection task is completed, we will immediately carry out a recovery operation, but now, we must first test the military deployment of the nearby Zerg to see if there is any ambush, after all, building a worm hive planet in this kind of fringe area, how can it look like a trap!" ”
"That's good!" The three of them listened to Zhang Yunfan's explanation, and nodded in agreement.
"Any other questions?" Zhang Yunfan asked.
"Not for the time being!" Yue Linxian said. "Do you want to come to the virtual channel, so that we can also communicate face-to-face, and it is more conducive to grasping the war situation."
"I'd better wait a minute!" Zhang Yunfan said. "I still need to analyze it alone, and discussing it directly with you will affect my ability to analyze and judge independently, and when I finish dealing with this side first, I'll go back!"
"That'll do!" Yue Linxian didn't say much, and replied lightly.
At the end of the communication, Zhang Yunfan silently leaned on the back of his chair, although his eyes were locked on the starry sky map in front of him, but he was not thinking about the battle situation, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Ye Su, you also underestimate me!" Do you really think I don't dare to be tough!? ”
