Chapter 528: The Decisive Battle in the Star Field (7)

After the coalition forces eliminated the last of the divided and surrounded Zerg detachments, the entire fleet began to slowly return to its main position.

At this time, the interior of the first echelon was no longer in the tense state before the war, on the contrary, there was peace in the current fleet.

At the end of the battle, the general command of the coalition forces also sent a message of condolence, and then informed the first echelon that they could temporarily withdraw from the battlefield for rest, and their original tasks could be taken over by other fleets.

And Ling Aocang believed that in the previous battle, the main part of the fleet to which the echelon belonged was not damaged, and the attrition of each fleet was not very serious, so there was no need to rest and recuperate at all.

Just when the commander was about to reject the good intentions of the headquarters, Yue Linxian reminded him that although there was not much damage in this battle, the first echelon had not recovered from the previous big battle and needed time to recuperate.

So, Ling Aocang was supposed to inherit it.

Soon, the first echelon of the fleet withdrew from the attack position and slowly moved towards the rear of the coalition camp, and their original position had been replaced by the fleet as soon as they left, believing that this new fleet would launch a new round of attacks in a short time.

However, these things are no longer something they should consider, and their primary goal now is to carry out the task of recuperating and recovering the fleet, so that their fleet can be restored to combat strength in the shortest possible time.

However, these specific recovery events naturally do not need to be personally inquired about by senior commanders like Ling Aocang and Zhang Yunfan, and they have not reached the level of being personally involved.

Therefore, during the recuperation of the first echelon, these of them were completely idle.

After settling down, Ling Aocang immediately verbally praised Zhang Yunfan, the main contributor to the battle, in the communication of the four of them.

"Zhang Yunfan made a contribution in the previous battle, if it weren't for the plan he formulated, our losses would have been much greater!"

"Indeed!" Yi Lexuan rarely didn't find Zhang Yunfan's stubble, and said: "According to the short-term performance of the Zerg relying on the formation before, it should be regarded as an extremely good formation, even if it has withstood the blow of superior firepower, the damage is surprisingly small." ”

"If it weren't for forcibly attacking the key nodes of their fleet in the middle of the battle, breaking the connection between the Zerg detachments and making them fight on their own, then we would find an opportunity to break each one."

The four of them knew very well in their hearts that if they only relied on the firepower of the fleet to carry out a strong attack and give the Zerg troops enough room for maneuver, the coalition forces would most likely not be able to hold the last line of defense in the end, and it was not yet known who would win and who would lose at that time.

"But I'm worried about the future of the coalition!" Yi Lexuan's cold words directly attracted the attention of the other three people in the channel.

Zhang Yunfan was undoubtedly the most concerned about the affairs of the coalition forces among the three, and immediately asked after hearing Yi Lexuan's speech: "What are you worried about?" ”

"I'm worried about the coalition fleet in the future!" Yi Lexuan said directly: "Isn't this formation one of the best formations of the coalition fleet?" Now that this formation has been broken by you, if the Zerg keeps changing the formation behind us to crack, and then the Zerg tries to follow suit, wouldn't it be equivalent to burning the coalition army's hundreds of years of hard work? ”

"Attack your own shield with your spear?" Moon Linxian muttered. "Indeed, whether we can crack it or not, the Zerg will benefit immensely, if they don't crack it, they can immediately get benefits, if they crack it, the Zerg can follow suit in future battles, no matter what!"

"Do you really think the coalition formation is so easy to crack?" Zhang Yunfan smiled bitterly and said.

"Didn't you crack it before?" Yi Lexuan asked rhetorically.

"Then I'll tell you about it!" Zhang Yunfan helplessly explained: "All the formations of the coalition forces are arranged based on one point, that is, in the unit area, your own troops can completely suppress the opponent in terms of firepower, and if this basic condition cannot be met, there will be security loopholes in the entire formation." ”

"Fire suppression?" Moon Linxian drew the focus.

"That's right!" Zhang Yunfan nodded and said: "Just like the previous battle, although the Zerg also suppressed our defensive fleet, but it was also after we carried out a great division of troops, if the whole line is defended, the Zerg still does not have these opportunities!" ”

"Then why do you still use this tactic of flanking and outflanking?"

"Reduce casualties!" Zhang Yunfan replied lightly: "Actually, even if we don't make any moves, just a tough defense, the Zerg still doesn't have any chance to win!" ”

"And what if the Zerg use our methods to break the coalition?"

"It's simpler......" Zhang Yunfan laughed. The Zerg can't even emulate the perfect coalition formation, let alone the kind of action we just had that didn't have a normal state at all. If the Zerg replicated, any coalition fleet could easily penetrate the Zerg's two-wing formation and successfully break through at a very small cost. ”

"In addition, if the commander of the coalition forces at that time had a bright mind and led the team back after breaking through, how could the Zerg with a hollow center and scattered positions resist the impact of the fleet, and they would inevitably suffer heavy damage!"

"Is that so?" Yue Linxian still had some doubts in his tone, and said, "In other words, the Zerg can't achieve the formation of the coalition army!" But why do the Zerg still use this formation? ”

"There are roughly two reasons!" Zhang Yunfan said.

"First, the Zerg does lack an effective attack formation, even if these coalition formations are not adaptable, they are much better than the previous formation with a hard top on the head."

"Second, the person who taught these formations of the Zerg may have some misunderstanding of the formation of the coalition forces, it should be that he has not received a systematic study of the command courses of the coalition forces, at least he will not be born in those famous schools of the alliance."

"The first point is understandable, how do you see the second point?" Yi Lexuan immediately asked.

Obviously, this benevolent brother one-sidedly interpreted the effectiveness of the coalition formations, attributing the effect of these formations to the excellent positioning of the fleet, and ignoring the impact of the fierce firepower of the coalition warships. And these are all compulsory courses in the command discipline of the military academy, as long as the personnel who have studied in the military academy should know it! ”

"Moreover, these military schools are very strict in their examination of cadets, and it is absolutely impossible to have any special exceptions unless the theater command directly orders them." Zhang Yunfan continued to explain. "I don't think those people, no matter how bold they are, don't dare to gamble their lives to apply!"

"I see, that is to say, there is no need to worry about the kind of crisis raised by Yi Lexuan...... Ling Aocang finally made a summary.

In this regard, Zhang Yunfan, as the former commander of the coalition forces, asserted: "If they are really brave enough to use our cracking methods in front of those pure-bred coalition fleets, or continue to copy the coalition formation, then they will die even worse than the Zerg just now!" ”
