Chapter 436: Separate Actions

Ling Aocang and the three of them also knew that Zhang Yunfan was not an arrogant character, and they still trusted the judgment he made, and after listening to Zhang Yunfan's explanation, they simply reached a consensus, and then began to discuss the cooperation of several legion fleets.

In the end, the Second Expeditionary Corps of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two fleets, one was the so-called tracking fleet, led by Zhang Yunfan's Sky Shadow Fleet, and the Heavenly Decisive Fleet cooperated.

The other is the clean-up fleet composed of the two major legions of Ling Aocang and Yi Lexuan, these two fleets have no priority, and the two commanders finally decided to take turns to clean up the planet, so that they can also give their landing troops enough time to recuperate. Therefore, the main attacker of the next planet is the Celestial Legion.

After a brief report to the coalition headquarters, the entire Second Expeditionary Corps began to move, and the two legions of Celestial Shadow and Celestial Due, which had been on guard on the periphery of the battle circle, began to assemble in an organized manner, and after forming a whole, they immediately rushed in the same direction with full horsepower.

The Tianling and Tianyu who stayed in place were even simpler, the formation that had been arranged made them not even need to assemble this kind of work, and after the other two fleets left, they continued to move forward in the direction they had chosen before, and continued to carry out their original tasks on the road.

However, the tactical changes of the Second Expeditionary Corps also had a slight impact on the overall situation of the battle. The commanders of various legions have said that they can't keep up with the brain circuits of the decision-makers of the Ming Legion.

You must know that the entire expeditionary force was to attack the main force of the Zerg as the main task, and as a result, the real strategic purpose of discovering the Zerg was directly announced in the entire war zone, and the facts were in front of you, and the worm nest was indeed found on the front-line position, and a large number of insect eggs were also found here.

But when they finally chose to change their strategic purpose, no longer rush forward, and prepared to march in peace and stability, this legion divided its troops to find the Zerg army, you can imagine how harsh they heard when the news reached the ears of the commanders of the legions.

However, it is awkward to be awkward, in the face of the threat in front of them, the vast majority of people chose to maintain the original plan and continue to clean up the Zerg occupation planets on their way one by one, and what has really changed is the expeditionary corps of those big forces that are really powerful.

And these legions basically have the strength of the Ming Expeditionary Legion, so they also dare to learn the division strategy of the Ming Legion, and send the more mobile fleet in the legion to go out to search for the main force of the Zerg.

However, when they imitated the actions of the Great Ming, they did not ignore the gap in command between them and the Great Ming, so the fleets they sent out were much larger than the tracking legions of the Great Ming.

At this point, the entire counteroffensive situation was officially put on the regular, and the stronger and more mobile fleets were used to search and annihilate the Zerg field army, while those fleets that moved slowly or were not strong were safely carried out the clearing work in the rear, each performing its own duties, and the progress of the entire counteroffensive was greatly accelerated.

——————————————————

Zhang Yunfan had already led his troops to carefully track in the void for three days, and unlike those expeditionary fleets that were aimless and just by luck, their fleets had a clear goal in searching.

The results that can be obtained are only a few small-scale insect swarms, and as for the large-scale main force of the Zerg, not even a shadow can be seen. The swarms they caught were only ultra-small swarms of about one or two thousand, but even so, they were much stronger than other fleets on search missions.

In this regard, Zhang Yunfan was also very distressed, because he couldn't figure out whether his judgment was accurate or not. To be sure, not even one percent of his expected results now! I don't know, but he did catch a trace of the Zerg troops.

In the end, he came to a conclusion - the Zerg army was assembled.

Only by concentrating all the troops in one place and putting some small troops to explore the way around, when these small troops were attacked and lost, the whole army immediately stayed away, so that Zhang Yunfan never really grasped the position of his main force.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfan immediately called up the locations of the previous encounter with the Zerg, marked them one by one on the starry sky map, and added these points to his entire deduction, and it didn't take long for him to start drawing on the starry sky map in front of him.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yunfan stood up suddenly, jumped directly from the command platform to the front of the military projection in the center of the command room, and carefully stared at the starry sky map, the subordinates around him were startled by his abrupt actions, but seeing that his young marshal was so concentrated, everyone invariably did not make any sound, and the entire command room was instantly quieter than the previous moment.

After a long time, Zhang Yunfan slowly withdrew his gaze from the starry sky map, and the herald, who had been waiting on the sidelines, immediately stepped forward, ready to receive the latest order he had given.

And Zhang Yunfan really didn't let the herald's cooperation fail, and after noticing the other party's approach, he said directly: "Order, the fleet as a whole turns around and advances towards Area C, and when it reaches the periphery of Area C, the whole fleet stops moving, turns off the engine, and switches to stealth mode!" ”

"Understood!" The herald received the order, turned and ran towards the communications office.

Three minutes later, the entire fleet changed its previous trajectory and began to make a large-scale maneuvering turn, heading in the direction specified by Zhang Yunfan.

"How sure are you about your prediction this time?" In the communication channel between the two, Yue Linxian asked.

"It's not clear...... "Before the dust settles, Zhang Yunfan can only give such a vague answer now.

And Yue Linxian was obviously quite surprised by this answer, and said: "You weren't like this before, even if you are not sure, you will say an approximate probability, what happened this time?" I won't start doubting my life because of the events of the past two days! ”

"This operation is just a conjecture of mine, and as for the accuracy, it's really hard for me to be sure!" Zhang Yunfan replied helplessly.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"After a few days of searching, there are only two possible scenarios!" Zhang Yunfan stretched out two fingers at the projection of the Moon Immortal, and after putting one away, he said: "The first is that the Zerg has completely abandoned this star field and has withdrawn all the main forces of the Zerg, but the possibility of this situation is very low......"

"Why?"

"Because of those worm eggs, once their plan succeeds, those newborn Zerg attack the supply base in our rear, the expeditionary corps in front will inevitably be in chaos, and if they withdraw all the main forces, then they will completely lose the possibility of taking advantage of the chaos to attack, and then the expeditionary corps can completely calmly withdraw the defense line and rebuild the supply base, so that their carefully planned actions will be completely meaningless!"

Zhang Yunfan slowed down and continued: "So the main force of the Zerg must stay here, and it can't be too far away from the coalition forces, otherwise it won't be able to achieve the effect of a surprise attack." ”

"And what about the second one?"

"The second is to combine troops in one place, with a small force as a living guard post, once they are annihilated, they can warn the main force at the first time, and the main force will be transferred immediately, so that a small amount of sacrifice can be exchanged for the maximum hidden effect of the main force."

"In other words, those small-scale Zerg we encountered before are the living outposts of the Zerg?!" Yue Linxian immediately asked.

"Maybe!" Zhang Yunfan shrugged his shoulders and said, "But these are just my conjectures, without confirmation, I am not sure that this is true!" ”
