Chapter 416: Observation and Analysis
"The situation of the coalition forces doesn't seem to be good!" Yi Lexuan looked at the attack and defense map transmitted back from the frontline battlefield in real time, tilted his head and said to Zhang Yunfan.
"Indeed!" Yue Linxian carefully looked at the movements of the Zerg army, and continued: "The alliance's tactics are indeed well understood, the current main force of resistance is the fleets of various forces, and the Zerg no longer has the advantage of anticipating the enemy's opportunities on the local battlefield, but in the entire strategic layout, the alliance command system responsible for overall planning is still the most familiar tactic of the other party. ”
"There's no way around it!" Illustos continued. "If changes are made, it will not be a change of one or two points, the entire command system will have to make a lot of changes, and the current alliance may not have the heart or the power!"
"It's too early to draw such conclusions!" Ling Aocang also stared at the offensive and defensive map in front of him, watching the Zerg army pass through the gap in the alliance's defense line, and asked Zhang Yunfan, who was sitting on the side, "Yunfan, if it were you, how would you deal with it?" ”
"Me?" Zhang Yunfan was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out without thinking about it, and said: "Of course, it is a retreat, exchanging space for time, and delaying until the expeditionary corps of the major forces arrive, I can think of this, and it is estimated that the general staff headquarters of the alliance also means this, but it is ......"
"But what?" Ling Aocang immediately asked. And his question also successfully attracted the attention of the other two, who also unconsciously leaned towards Zhang Yunfan's side, concentrating on listening to his answer.
"But! I don't think this commander of ours will take it! Zhang Yunfan said lightly: "You see, the coalition forces on the front line have no intention of retreating at all, they should want to carry it to the end!" ”
The three of them were silent, because they had been observing this real-time attack and defense map before, even if there was no command order from the top level of the coalition army, but the general movement of the coalition army could be seen just from the information on the map, and of course they knew whether the coalition army had the intention of retreating.
"Is that any good for the Alliance?" Yi Lexuan frowned.
"Absolutely!" Zhang Yunfan smiled slightly and said, "A stalemate battlefield is always much easier to recover than a galaxy that has already gained a firm foothold from the Zerg!" But I doubt that these fleets will be able to hold out until the arrival of the main fleet......"
"So...... The two of them are so unpalatable and now they have begun to think about the problem of counterattacking? Yi Lexuan was especially excited, in his opinion, now that the alliance has begun to prepare, once a main force like them enters the battlefield, the human race can immediately carry out a strategic counteroffensive, which can indeed help a lot in the future war.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he looked at the offensive and defensive map again, his eyes no longer had the worry he had before, and he continued: "It seems that these high-level members of the alliance also have two brushes!" ”
"Hehe......"
Zhang Yunfan smiled bitterly twice, but did not answer, but Yue Linxian directly grabbed what Zhang Yunfan said before and asked, "Yunfan, you said before that you were afraid that the coalition fleet would not be able to wait for the coalition forces to arrive...... What does this mean? ”
"Look at this point, once the Zerg army moves to this point!" Zhang Yunfan did not answer immediately, but marked a point on the front-line attack and defense map, and said: "Once the Zerg arrives here......"
Saying that, at the coordinate point in the self-mark, Zhang Yunfan drew two arrows, and pointed to one of the arrows, wanting the other three to explain.
"Here, the Zerg can directly invade the next star field, this is the assembly point of the coalition reinforcement fleet, once this area is no longer safe, the assembly point will inevitably be postponed by another star field, then the supply line of the coalition fleet still on the battlefield will be stretched, and it will be easier to be cut off, so how long these fleets with little combat power can last, this is very doubtful!"
After saying that, he turned to another arrow and continued: "And if the Zerg chooses to return to the battlefield and suffer from the enemy on their backs, I don't think I need to say more!" ”
"Indeed!" Ling Aocang frowned, he didn't know the alliance's tactics, but the situation introduced by Zhang Yunfan just now also showed that it gave him a certain shock.
Ling Aocang didn't care how much territory the alliance would lose, but he never wanted to see that after they arrived at the battlefield, the whole situation was out of control, and it was obvious that according to what Zhang Yunfan had described, the battle situation had gradually developed in that direction.
"Then what kind of tactics do you think the alliance will adopt without abandoning the war zone?"
Zhang Yunfan pondered for a while and said, "Probably here!" He marked the eighth section on the map closest to the Zerg invasion army, and continued, "This should be the most suitable draw point!" ”
"But this line of defense is also under attack!" Yi Lexuan looked at it carefully and said. "The cost of a hasty withdrawal is too great, I don't think the alliance would issue such an order!"
"I don't think so!" Zhang Yunfan said lightly: "Tell you, these high-ranking officials of the alliance know very well in their hearts that the counteroffensive on the battlefield will never rely on the fleets of these small countries, so the fleets of these countries will naturally become ...... in their eyes."
"Cannon fodder?!" Ling Aocang said in a low voice.
"Then aren't they afraid that this fleet will not obey orders?!" Yue Linxian said, his tone was very angry.
"Although I think so too, it seems to me that if I don't do this, the entire coalition fleet on the entire front will be wiped out!" Zhang Yunfan shrugged his shoulders, his tone still flat.
"And how long can they hold on?" Ling Aocang asked the most realistic question.
"I don't know!" Zhang Yunfan waved his hand helplessly and said, "I don't know the real combat power of this defensive fleet, maybe it can carry it for a day or two, maybe it can only last a few hours!" However, the alliance should not pin its hopes on these fleets, they should only be temporarily replaced, and once there is a new fleet, reinforcements may be sent immediately! ”
"I hope I can withstand it!" Ling Aocang sighed slightly.
At the end of the discussion, several people fell silent again, and the development of the battle situation was exactly as Zhang Yunfan had predicted before, the defensive fleet of the eighth section was withdrawn, and in order to withdraw quickly and smoothly, a fleet of 3,000 warships remained.
However, the existence of this fleet was deliberately ignored by the four people who were watching the battle, because there was no suspense about the ending of these warships, and the cruelty of this ending made these four people unbearable to pay attention to it anymore.
And the entire battle line was temporarily stabilized because of the sacrifice of this fleet, and after the defending fleet completely blocked the invasion of the Zerg, the alliance did begin to project new forces on that battlefield, and dragged a clear invasion war into a stalemate in a big melee.
The overall situation on the battlefield was stabilized, and the alliance after that seemed to have opened its mind, and after understanding its own tactical layout and strategic purpose, it was likely to be guessed by the Zerg, and simply turned the entire battlefield into a melee, and in this chaos, the coalition army successfully dragged all the Zerg armies.
