Chapter 501: Phase 1 (1)
Although the Zerg have a strategy to deal with the tactics of the coalition forces, it is still very difficult to achieve them smoothly.
Not to mention how many coalition assault divisional formations are still rampage within their own camp, even if they can barely pull out a part of the army, the fierce firepower of the defensive troops in the rear forming a dense front can teach them to be human in minutes.
In the Zerg's mind, if you talk about one of the fleets alone, none of them is the opponent of this Zerg, but the combination of the two also makes this Zerg army, which is far larger than the coalition fleet, helpless.
If they choose to digest these fleets inside with all their might, the fierce firepower of the heavy warships on the periphery will be unscrupulous, and these fleets inside can also rely on these supporting firepower to deal with the encirclement and suppression forces of the Zerg for a long time.
When the offensive of the troops is exhausted, the coalition forces can take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and at that time it may be difficult to match even these fleets inside.
If they choose to deal with these heavy firepower on the periphery first, then these coalition fleets that have penetrated into the Zerg camp will directly cooperate with the offensive of the heavy fleets on the periphery, and use their own characteristics to directly disrupt the Zerg's offensive formation.
The Zerg commander knew very well in his heart that if he chose to attack forcibly regardless of this objective factor, those Zerg troops who had lost the cover of the formation would be just some moving targets in the eyes of the coalition fleet, and it might not take long for the entire battle to come to an end.
Both of these methods are considered by the Zerg, but the consequences are also unacceptable to this Zerg, and they have no choice but to choose a compromise to deal with it.
Under the guidance of this tactical thinking, the Zerg sent one-third of the Zerg troops to attack the outer fleet line, and used the remaining troops to encircle and suppress these assault fleets inside the formation.
But what the Zerg didn't expect was that they were no longer facing the original coalition fleet, on this battlefield, each so-called coalition fleet was the elite troops of each alliance country, and its firepower, troop allocation, and ability to deal with large-scale battles were far superior to the previous coalition fleet.
On the one hand, there has been no superior record in the past, on the one hand, because there has been no campaign that can give full play to their combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, because these fleets are extremely inexperienced in fighting the Zerg, and it is difficult to give full play to the excellent performance of the fleet.
This is also the reason why a group of mobile fleets in the coalition can defeat the 30 million Zerg army in the hands of Zhang Yunfan, but after returning to the fleet, it is mediocre.
Therefore, although the Zerg side has an overwhelming numerical advantage, in fact, the five million coalition fleets in the first stage have completely gained the upper hand in terms of combat power, and can easily suppress the entire Zerg force.
As for the two parts of the fleet, internal and external, neither of them can easily cope with them.
————————————————————
Zhang Yunfan sat silently on the flagship of the Sky Shadow Fleet, quietly looking at the chaotic battle outside the porthole, without saying a word.
At this stage of the battle, there is no need for him to command it at all, and all the tactical tactics required here have been deeply imprinted in the blood and bones of every soldier in these fleets, and now it is just a matter of using all these conventional knowledge.
There is only one thing Zhang Yunfan has to do, that is, to establish the overall direction of action of the ten division-level formations of the entire Celestial Shadow Fleet, as for the position of each fleet and the cooperation between the fleets, the commanders of each formation will complete it by themselves, and Zhang Yunfan does not need to interfere from it.
In this way, the entire fleet continued to fire out, repelling all the encircled Zerg troops round after round, and each repulsion could leave a large number of mutilated Zerg corpses.
This type of operation is not unique to the Shadow Fleet, and applies to all coalition fleets involved in assault operations.
Zhang Yunfan looked at the changes on the battlefield blankly, stretched his waist for a long time, from the expeditionary battle to the present, it was the first time he was so idle, if he was not still in the middle of the battle, he would have wanted to pull a few fleet members to do some entertainment games.
Everything was going according to the plan that had been made before the war, and that plan was very detailed, and the Zerg's choices had been anticipated, and the actions of the Zerg at this time were exactly one of the things in the plan. And all the coalition has to do is to keep it as it is, and there is no need to worry about what a fatal blow the Zerg army will do to them.
Boredom, Zhang Yunfan turned on the communication system in the fleet and connected to the communication of Yue Linxian.
"What's the matter, it's not because there's something wrong with your fleet now!" Yue Linxian quipped in the communication channel. Listening to this person's tone, I think it's okay to be idle......
"What else can I have questions, I'm a little bored, I'm going to talk to you!" Zhang Yunfan said.
"Talk to me? Looks like you're really idle. Yue Linxian smiled and said, "How are you doing over there?" The record should be good! ”
"It's okay, except for my flagship and the troops directly under me, the other fleets are frantically harvesting......" Zhang Yunfan smiled bitterly, and then asked: "What about you?" It should be about the same! ”
"I find that sometimes it's not a good thing for my subordinates to be too worry-free!" Yue Linxian said.
"Actually, we should be content too!" Zhang Yunfan sighed slightly, and said something from his heart. "If we were to be in command of everything, we would be really tired!"
"But now it's the rhythm of idleness!" Yue Linxian said weakly.
At that moment, two communication tones interrupted the conversation between the two, one from their own channel and the other from their ongoing communication.
Faced with a sudden mission, the two commanders immediately came to their senses, and when they opened this message, they found that it was an order from the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
The order was very brief, and the entire communication message was only four words: Slow down the offensive!
After receiving this communication, Zhang Yunfan was confused at first, but when he set his eyes on the situation on the battlefield, he instantly understood the intention of this order and immediately issued it to the various fleets under him.
"Sister Yue, has the order been sent?" After Zhang Yunfan gave the order, he returned to the communication between the two and asked the Yue Linxian on the other end.
"That's it!" Yue Linxian replied and continued: "These fleets really don't know how to converge, and they actually relied on their own strength to beat the Zerg's encirclement and suppression troops to pieces, and almost broke a big deal!" ”
