Chapter 517: Defensive Battle (9)
When the members of the coalition left the defensive planet, the defense systems that had lost their belief that they were operating autonomously were eventually overwhelmed by the massive Zerg army, and the entire planet finally fell under the control of the Zerg.
This battle is finally over, but this is only a battle between the Zerg and the coalition forces, and it is only a small episode.
When the defensive planet was captured, the Zerg army immediately turned around and rushed towards the nearest defendable planet. The tactics used by the Zerg this time are not much different from the previous ones, and they are also covering all aspects of firepower first, wanting to repeat the previous battle.
However, this time there were no superior conditions like before, and when the Zerg carried out a long-range fire attack this time, the close fire force defending the planet did not lift it to the surface of the planet, but stayed inside the safe planet, which made it difficult for the Zerg's dense attack to be effective.
The attack lasted for an hour, and in addition to some long-range heavy fire, only five percent of the near-fire power hidden inside the planet was affected.
However, the Zerg, who did not know anything about the internal structure of the defense planet, still chose to carry out landing operations on a large scale. A large number of transport cysts carried countless small Zerg to set off.
This time, the Zerg side has also made a change, not only these transport cysts with weak defenses and no means of resistance, but also by the side of these cysts, huge heavy armor beetles accompany them, providing them with the necessary protection and counterattack means.
As they charged, these heavy armor Zergs were at the forefront of the troops, withstanding the frontal attack for the subsequent transport cysts.
Seeing such a lineup of the Zerg, the coalition forces did not dare to be careless, and immediately gave up the attack on the Zerg long-range troops above the line, and began to concentrate firepower to suppress the advance of the Zerg landing force.
In addition, the defensive fronts around the coalition forces also began to cooperate, and basically all the firepower was pressed towards these landing forces of the Zerg.
The powerful fire suppression made it difficult for the troops of the Zerg landing force to find a breakthrough, and they could only be killed at the origin of the departure.
In the end, under the concentrated fire of the entire coalition front, even the heavy beetles with strong defense could hardly resist this concentrated attack from all directions, and in order to avoid unnecessary attrition, the zerg could only reluctantly retreat back to their own front.
However, the Zerg will not rest on their laurels, and immediately return to their original mode and begin to bombard the target planet indiscriminately.
In the face of such an attack, General Tyr, as the commander of the fortress, did not feel nervous at all, on the contrary, he seemed to be in a surprisingly good mood now, and he even hummed a small tune melodiously while reading the battle report, which made his subordinates around him confused for a while.
Finally, a young officer couldn't help himself, walked up to General Tyre, and asked, "General, is there something good about happening?" ”
General Tyre turned his head, looked at the officer with a smile, and instead of answering his question immediately, he asked rhetorically, "Why do you ask that?" ”
"Because General, you seem to be in a very good mood now, but ......" The officer looked at the battlefield situation projected on the projection in front of the two of them, and continued: "The battle situation outside still doesn't think that your mood will show signs of improvement, General!" ”
"Really? I think it's good! General Tyr shrugged his shoulders and said, "Didn't we just repel a Zerg raid that we were determined to win?" ”
"This seems to be temporary...... everyone was speechless.
Even if it did achieve a certain victory before, it was only a repulsion, and now, the Zerg is firing fiercely at the planet, and if it goes on like this, when the surface position of the planet is destroyed, it will be a matter of time before the defensive planet is lost.
However, this can be imagined even by ordinary officers like them, after all, General Tyr is an excellent commander who has been through a hundred battles, and his attacks alone are as good as the sum of all the people here, how can he not even see this?
At this moment, General Tyr spoke again and said: "Don't limit your vision to this battlefield, if you want to command the battle, the first thing you need to do is to take a long-term view, not only to command the battle from the tactical level, but also to look at the overall situation from the strategic aspect, so that you can make the most suitable instructions!" ”
"Strategically looking at the big picture?" Everyone was confused when they heard this, and they all moved their eyes to the battlefield projection in the center of the command room, they really didn't understand where the instructions made by General Tyr before reflected the strategic significance.
Tyre looked at the confused eyes of these officers, and his heart was suddenly full of helplessness, there is no way, the early war has indeed consumed a large number of elite talents in the coalition system, and there has been a serious fault in the replenishment of personnel, and now the reason why there are so many young officers around him is not because of how good they are, but because there is really no one in the coalition army.
These officers are all ungraduated cadets who have been directly transferred from various military academies, and their level is really very limited. But even so, such personnel were in short supply, and now there was no shortage of personnel in various positions in his command, which made General Tyre feel very satisfied.
Seeing that these people still didn't understand after thinking for a long time, Tyr put away his helpless mood, cleared his throat and said: "It's useless to just look at this picture, look at this picture and you will understand!" ”
As he spoke, he had already put away the battlefield projection in the projector, and turned to a star field defense map.
On this arming map, there are two large red combat areas, one is the area where they are located, and the other is located at the edge of the defense map, which is naturally the battlefield where the first echelon of the coalition army is fighting with the 200 million zergs.
Although that area seemed much smaller than theirs, due to the construction of the defense facilities of the two sides and the contrast of defensive forces, everyone present knew very well in their hearts that the bloody battle there was more fierce and cruel than here.
In another marginal area, a large blue punctuation dot suddenly appeared on the projection map, and a line of text on the punctuation quickly excited everyone present, which read: The fleet of the third echelon of the coalition forces.
That is to say, the strongest third echelon of the coalition forces that went deep behind enemy lines has finally returned to the battlefield, and now the balance of power on the battlefield can be reversed, and the time for the coalition counterattack is finally approaching.
