Chapter 450: Involved Attack
When these solemnly waiting Zerg armies reappeared in front of the main force of the third echelon, the offensive of these warships randomly stopped and began to replan the formation.
Naturally, the Zerg would not give the coalition a chance to regroup, and the front immediately pressed, and the positions on all lines followed immediately, wanting to wipe out all the coalition forces that broke into the formation as quickly as possible.
This position belongs to the transportation channel where the Zerg sends troops to the first line, so the soldiers are very sufficient. The third echelon also seemed to feel the oppression brought about by the absolute difference in numbers, so it began to retreat slowly in the process of forming a formation.
But where would the Zerg let the coalition retreat after taking such a big advantage, and immediately began to assault with all their might, the original front line was actually out of touch with the follow-up troops due to the speed being too fast, but it was also exchanged for some other things, such as the distance between them and the third echelon of the main formation, it reached a very delicate distance.
At this distance, the Zerg can already carry out long-range attacks, although the damage of these ranged attacks that can be launched by the Zerg on the front line is limited, but it is much better than the previous dilemma of wanting to attack but not reaching it.
However, the Zerg did not choose to launch it, because once a long-range attack was carried out, they must first stop the pursuit, so that although they can achieve some results, the other warships of the coalition will also take this opportunity to break away from the Zerg's camp, which is obviously a little unacceptable for the Zerg who are committed to total annihilation.
But what they didn't expect was that although the coalition forces were slowly retreating, the direction of the attack, that is, the direction of the main guns on the battleship, was still aimed at them, so the Zerg gave up the attack, but the coalition seized the opportunity of this attack and launched a round of fierce strikes again.
This attack is not like before, the damage caused by the attack launched at a very close distance is much stronger than before, the first-line Zerg is directly paralyzed, and the remaining sporadic Zerg If they choose to impact again, it will be no different from delivering food, that is to say, the rapid march of the Zerg pursuit has lost the strength to continue the impact.
This also means that these main warships of the third echelon can easily break away from the Zerg camp according to the original route.
But just as the Zerg gave up the purpose of annihilating the third echelon not far away, the third echelon was not willing to give up the opportunity to break through the Zerg formation, so after breaking away from a certain distance, these main battleships began to form a stable front and chose to stick to this gap.
The Zerg suddenly became excited, as if they were afraid that this fleet would regret it, and the various fronts immediately outflanked it from all directions, directly surrounding the main formation of the entire Third Fleet, and no longer giving it any chance to escape.
However, the Zerg put an important point, that is, on the periphery of the Zerg formation, the third echelon of the coalition army can still retain a fleet that has always been quite large, that is, the light assault fleet that has been reloaded and the heavy battleship formation that has been regrouped.
As soon as the Zerg side cut off the retreat of the main formation, the heavy battleship formation in the distance immediately attacked, and the powerful long-range artillery fire was launched in the rear of the Zerg camp, and the attack was almost devastating.
Almost instantly, the formation of the Zerg forces used to cut off the retreat was broken up by the powerful firepower of the heavy battleship.
And the light assault fleet also immediately took action, and they also launched an attack behind the Zerg army when it formed an encirclement. Unlike the previous formations, this attack was carried out in a very loose formation of the assault fleet, so that the missiles launched by each could lock on to a wider range of targets.
Soon, a new round of missile scrubbing began, and the brilliant explosion and fire quickly spread in the Zerg camp, and this time it directly contained half of the Zerg encirclement camp.
The Zerg's camp was disrupted again, and the main force of the third echelon in the encirclement seemed to have already predicted the current situation, and quickly changed from a defensive state to an assault state, and directly followed the flames of the explosion and rushed out of the encirclement.
After breaking out of the encirclement, the main fleet turned back again and began to storm the formation of the Zerg, playing a conventional attack method.
But now, the situation on the Zerg side is very unoptimistic, and it has been baptized several times by the successive attacks of the coalition forces, and the remaining troops are already difficult to resist the regular battle of the coalition forces at the moment, and out of helplessness, they can only continue to transfer troops from other places to replenish.
And the first thing the Zerg did was to throttle and prepare to send the Zerg troops to the front line against the second echelon.
But the immediate result of this approach is the lack of support in the front-line positions......
Originally, the first-line position of the Zerg and the second echelon of the coalition army were inseparable, and the coalition side had a large amount of heavy support firepower, and the Zerg side was also constantly strengthening its own offensive firepower in the battle, and even with the passage of time, it has gradually overwhelmed the coalition army.
In terms of losses, the losses of the Zerg were very huge, after all, these not elite Zerg could not resist the strong firepower of the heavy warships of the coalition no matter what kind of defense they used, so some damage was normal.
In terms of the second echelon, relying on the formation and allowing the constant replacement of warships to share the damage, the losses suffered were not large, but with the development of the war and the acceleration of the pace of battle, the conversion time of the coalition forces has become shorter and shorter, and the attack has become more and more difficult. If this situation continues, the phenomenon of large-scale battle damage to warships is coming.
But just when the echelon commander was about to ask Zhang Yunfan to send a message for help, the first-line fleet on duty suddenly found that the offensive launched by the Zerg side had also been exhausted, and the number of Zerg in the full state had dropped significantly.
The echelon commander immediately came to his senses, the first thing he thought of was to open the general layout of the war zone, due to the fierceness of the battle, he had long been unable to pay attention to the development of the entire battle situation, and now he finally had the opportunity to take a breath.
"Now that the third echelon is here, well done!" The commander found out that it was the third echelon that throttled that part of the Zerg, and immediately praised it.
"Sir, what do we do next?" The adjutant asks for advice.
"Don't change your actions for the time being, let the fleets recover well, repair what should be repaired, recharge what should be charged, and slowly restore the state of the battleship......" The commander explained carefully. We must always pay attention to the movements of the third echelon, in case they are not supported, our side should be careful! ”
"Understood!" The adjutant immediately responded.
"And ......" The commander seemed to think of something, but stopped talking about it.
The adjutant didn't urge, just stood quietly, waiting for the commander's next explanation.
"Forget it!" The commander finally gave up on saying the whole sentence, he waved his hand to the adjutant to signal him to leave, and he sat heavily in the command chair, staring intently at the battlefield projection, silent.
