Ling Aocang's communication with the coalition headquarters soon came to fruition.

Although the general command was reluctant, it finally agreed to Ling Aocang's request. Not only did they agree to the overall actions of the first echelon, but they also transferred some assault fleets on other fronts that did not help much in line defense to strengthen the combat capability of the first echelon.

And the successor, who finally got his wish, did not hesitate too much, and immediately began to prepare for the next action.

For the next assault operation, Ling Aocang specially organized a virtual meeting of the commanders of each legion within the first echelon, and carefully analyzed the future action plan for them in detail at the meeting.

These commanders did not have much opinion on this operation, but only expressed their attitude of obeying the command, and did not say much about the others.

After the meeting, the four commanders of the Ming Legion held a pre-war meeting in the private communication of the four as usual, and finally finalized the specific action steps and made a final confirmation of some details.

When everything is over, the pre-war preparations of the first echelon as a whole are also completed.

As a result, the entire fleet began to move slowly, and the tail of each battleship erupted with elegant light blue flames, and a graceful trajectory was drawn in the slowly dark void.

Soon, the first echelon reached a gap in the front line and looked down on the battlefield in front of it.

The first echelon, which had already reached the position, was not in a hurry to attack, but was silently observing the changes in the battlefield and waiting for the best time to enter the field.

The Zerg were visibly terrified of the newly arrived fleet, and the attacks launched by the Zerg forces around them had slowed down.

"That's interesting, since you've already discovered us, why don't you attack us? Is this scared of us? Yi Lexuan said inside the channel.

"If the Zerg knew something, they wouldn't be afraid of this year-long war!" Zhang Yunfan said lightly: "Have you seen those insect corpses on our front!?" ”

After Zhang Yunfan's reminder, several people moved the optical reconnaissance equipment on the battleship to the front of the formation, and sure enough, they found a large number of Zerg corpses piled up here.

"We're a gap in the coalition defensive front here! Do you think the Zerg will not be able to see it? Zhang Yunfan's tone was very flat, and he said slowly. The frontal battlefield has been stalemate, and I think the Zerg must have already sent troops to test this gap! ”

"So far, the coalition front has not been broken through, it seems that the Zerg assault has failed?" Yue Linxian looked at the distribution map of the Zerg corpses and said.

"The situation now speaks for itself." Zhang Yunfan explained: "Although this is a gap in the coalition front, this place is not far from the defensive front on all sides, and it is the flank of the front, and the nearby fleet can be intercepted with some firepower that the frontal front cannot use." ”

"Although those naval guns can't be compared with the battleship's central main guns in terms of firepower, in the simultaneous attack of several defense lines, they can also make the Zerg troops who want to break through from here have no return."

……

The first echelon has been observing the situation on the battlefield, and although the small gap of the Zerg troops is not small, they have never found an opportunity suitable for launching a full-scale attack.

Seeing that the coalition front was being defeated by the increasingly powerful attacks of the Zerg, Zhang Yunfan finally took the initiative to say in the channel: "No, we can't wait any longer!" We have to start the operation now, or the defensive front of the coalition forces will not be able to withstand it! ”

"The timing is completely unsuitable for assault operations!" Yue Linxian said: "The offensive of the Zerg has tended to be strong at this time, and even the momentum of the attack has been greatly enhanced, choosing to attack at this time will ...... damage to the fleet."

"We don't have a choice!" Zhang Yunfan said directly: "You have a good look, if you don't do it now, the Zerg will break through the defense line of the coalition army within two hours, and the coalition army will not have a reserve force as reinforcements at all. ”

"Now that you've figured it out, you must have come up with a battle plan! Say it and see. Ling Aocang said.

"Although there is no loophole in the Zerg that can allow all our troops to launch a general attack, but such a huge force, there will be some more or less, small gaps, we might as well use these directly!" Zhang Yunfan said.

"How do you use it?" Ling Aocang suddenly came to his senses and asked immediately. "I want to know the details!"

"Take a fleet as the vanguard, start from a small gap as the entry point, and after entering the battlefield, continue to use this as a starting point to expand the scope of the Zerg's mistakes, slowly roll the snowball bigger, and the first-echelon fleet gradually enters the field, gradually expanding its influence in the Zerg camp......"

Zhang Yunfan explained his thoughts to the other three one by one, and although the three people who understood it felt that this method was a little unstable, according to the current battlefield situation, there was really no better way, so they could only choose to agree.

And a new question arises, that is, which fleet to choose to serve as the vanguard.

Everyone knows that this pioneer operation is very dangerous, and a small mistake may be lost. And if the Ming echelon still wants to continue to gain the trust of other legions in the first echelon, then it must take the lead at this time.

Therefore, the vanguard fleet can only be selected from these four fleets in the Second Expeditionary Legion of the Great Army.

First of all, Yi Lexuan's Heavenly Fleet was excluded first, for the well-known reason, the heavy defense of his fleet seriously slowed down the speed of the fleet, not to mention seizing a small gap, even if there was really a large gap suitable for the entire echelon attack, the Heavenly Fleet would be far behind.

Subsequently, Ling Aocang, who had been serving as the commander-in-chief of the echelon, was also out of the Tianling fleet because of his own position.

As a result, the Celestial Shadow Fleet and the Celestial Fleet became the only two options.

"I'll do it!" Yue Linxian said first. "My Heavenly Determination Fleet is both offensive and defensive, and it should be able to deal with the vast majority of emergencies, and it is more secure!"

"You should be able to handle this, but you can't!" Zhang Yunfan immediately retorted: "As the planner and proposer of the entire plan, I naturally want to take the position of vanguard, and I am familiar with the tactics of war, and I also have a good understanding of the combat style of the Zerg and the coalition army, and it is easier to find a breakthrough for the Zerg offensive......

"It's because you're familiar with the Zerg's tactics that I can't let you go!" Yue Linxian said: "Once something happens to you, what should we do with the rest!?" ”

"Why do you still move, something will happen to me!" Zhang Yunfan said: "With the breakthrough ability of the Sky Shadow Fleet, even if something really happens, it can easily break out of the encirclement and return to the main formation!" ”

"That's it! You earn this kind of thing, too! Ling Aocang directly stopped the argument between the two and said, "Heavenly Shadow is the first, and Heavenly Decision is the second." Then the personnel are to be determined, let's go and prepare! I'm going to have to talk to the other fleets about it! ”
