Chapter 502: Phase 1 (2)
The reason for the slowdown of the offensive of the coalition forces is actually very simple, that is, the fleets are completely unaware of the convergent offensive.
Since each fleet operates independently, although it cooperates with other fleets of the same level, it loses the constraints of the superior command structure, and unconsciously enters the optimal state of all-out outburst.
Although this method optimizes the command structure of the fleet to the greatest extent, so that the actions of the entire fleet and the attacks launched are full of fluidity, in this state, the individual fleets can easily get away with it.
In today's battlefield, the two forces of the Zerg have been completely suppressed by the coalition fleet, that is to say, whether it is the Zerg army placed on the periphery to contain the heavy long-range troops of the coalition army, and even the main force of the Zerg that is encircling and suppressing the various assault fleets inside has also been suppressed.
Although the balance of war has begun to tip on the side of the coalition camp, it is not what the coalition wants to see.
In the plan, the first phase of the coalition army's offensive is mainly to delay and contain, that is, to drag down the Zerg army. Even in the course of the battle, show weakness to the Zerg troops, giving them the illusion that they can win all with more effort, so as to attract more Zerg to join.
But the extraordinary performance of the coalition fleet is completely beyond the expectations of the coalition commander, and now, the formation of the Zerg has been smashed by the coalition fleet, and the assault fleet, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, has even completed the cutting operation, cutting a large number of Zerg camps into small pieces, and according to this development, it will not be long before the entire Zerg camp will be completely defeated.
And once this situation is formed, let alone attract a large army of the Zerg, the Zerg is likely to completely abandon this way of troops and attack through other channels.
With the Zerg's abundant capital, if there is no main force of the coalition to intercept it, they can completely drive straight in, directly destroy all the newly built offensives of the coalition forces in the entire star field, and reach the rear camp of the coalition army.
If things develop like that, not only will the layout in the early stage and the movement of various troops lose their effect, but the coalition forces will also lose the foundation for gaining a foothold in this star field. Then even if they could completely annihilate this Zerg army of nearly 100 million, it would be meaningless.
Therefore, the fleet at the front must restrain the entire force and reduce its pressure on the Zerg camp.
As a result, the commander of the assault fleet in the camp finally regained his command, began to restrain the subordinate divisional formations accordingly, and deliberately showed weakness and retreated in some sure-winning duels, so that the Zerg army began to have a chance to counterattack.
Under a series of indulgences of the coalition forces, the Zerg army finally slowly regained its own rhythm of battle, and gradually began to suppress the coalition fleet, and even the containment forces on the periphery showed faint signs of counterattack.
However, the degree of attack of the Zerg has only been allowed to this extent, and if the battle situation is tilted in the direction of the Zerg a little more, it will be pulled back by the coalition forces, and the entire battlefield is in this strange state of "stalemate".
This state makes the Zerg army feel very uncomfortable that they are beginning to recover slowly, in their consciousness, they have obviously suppressed the other party, and there is only one last step left to completely lock the battle situation, but at every critical moment, the coalition side can always break out a series of counterattacks, making the whole operation go to naught.
However, this kind of counterattack that erupted at a critical moment did not arouse the suspicion of the Zerg commander, in their eyes these were just the last desperate struggle of the coalition forces, and each time they were suppressed again by their troops, there was really nothing to care about.
The ineffective attack of three times finally made the Zerg army lose patience, and in the latest attack, the Zerg pressed the biggest card in their hand.
They are carried by all the heavy zergs, and the long-range attacking zergs are attached to these heavy zergs to achieve both defense and firepower.
And after these combinations, a large number of main Zerg closely followed, as long as the combined forces in front broke through the fire blockade of each division-level formation, these Zerg would rush up, completely divide all the fleets, and then break each one.
This action of the Zerg has obviously exceeded the bottom line of the alliance's forbearance, and it will naturally be fiercely counterattacked.
The division-level formations that broke into the Zerg formation did not gather in one place, they all had their own positions. These positions may seem very random, but in fact they are closely related to everything.
If each formation is regarded as a point and connected to each other, then the entire battlefield will be contained in this fictitious net.
When the Zerg attacked one of the points, it would actually be counterattacked from more than a dozen directions at the same time, but under the constraints of the coalition command, this joint attack was weakened to the maximum, so the Zerg had the conditions to counterattack.
But now, when the coalition loosens the shackles a little, the power it can burst out will be very amazing.
A division-level fleet of the Celestial Shadow Fleet directly inserted into the Zerg's attack position from the side, and burst out with a full set of its own damage, not only the ship-based laser cannon, but also the various types of missiles it carried were completely released in the Zerg camp, and the main force of the Zerg that was preparing to break through in the rear was scattered in an instant.
But before the combination in front could move back a little energy to suppress them, this fleet followed the direction of the assault and killed the Zerg camp all the way. And at this moment, the coalition fleet that was originally targeted by them had already pasted up, and in an instant, it was covered by a set of fierce firepower, directly suppressing the attack of the Zerg attack force.
Subsequently, this similar attack was reproduced in all the Zerg attack forces, and the entire Zerg attack force was brutally attacked, and the coalition forces also took this opportunity to launch a further counteroffensive, and the situation on the battlefield showed faint signs of reversal.
Fortunately, just when the coalition was about to carry out a full-scale counteroffensive, its attack momentum was almost consumed in the previous counterattack, and the pace of the attack gradually slowed down, so the Zerg luckily stabilized their position again.
After that, the Zerg forces never launched the same offensive as before, and all they did was to suppress the coalition fleet, and they could not force a quick victory. The overall offensive of the Zerg began to stabilize, as if they had completely abandoned the ferocious style, and became very calm.
After that, the coalition forces deliberately made a few flaws, wanting to observe their reactions, and the answer was the same. Although the Zerg troops saw it, they didn't have the slightest intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.
It is clear that the Zerg army is acting like this. Either they are ready to fight for a long time, or they are ...... Their reinforcements are already on their way.
