Chapter 419: Blockade
The new round of the Zerg's offensive was blocked again, this is the seventh time that the coalition forces have blocked the Zerg's attack, this time they are facing a group attack of nearly ten times their own Zerg troops, and the next wave will become even greater in numbers between the two sides.
Although the current front can still be barely supported by the coalition forces, everyone knows that this situation will not last long......
Ye Xiaofei, the only fleet commander of the Feder Republic, a N-line country in the Galaxy Alliance, has been protected from threats between countries under the protection of the rules of the alliance, but the harassment of some interstellar bandits is still inevitable, and Ye Xiaofei, as the commander of the country's main fleet, has naturally participated in some battles, so there is no need to worry about combat experience.
When he first entered the battlefield, Ye Xiaofei didn't feel that there was any problem, after all, the Zerg was still inferior to ordinary warships in terms of single combat power, so when there was not much difference in quantity, the fleet under Ye Xiaofei's command was very easy to handle.
But as the war progressed, especially when he began to face an enemy army dozens of times his size, that sense of powerlessness had been deeply embedded in his heart, and now, that feeling was returning to his heart little by little with the expansion of the size of the Zerg army.
Just now, they successfully repelled the Zerg, but everyone on the front knew that this was only a temporary retreat, at most they would go around outside the range of the coalition firepower, and they would soon return, and their return would bring back more than just the little troops left over from the previous battle.
Ye Xiaofei quietly looked at the projection in front of him, silently watching the coalition forces outside the window that either shelled or launched missiles to empty all the Zerg corpses within the firepower, so that they could not be used as a cover for the next round of Zerg attacks.
In fact, if there was a choice, Ye Xiaofei would definitely choose to turn around and evacuate without hesitation, but not this time, he didn't have a choice, for no other reason, because the location of the Philippine Republic was in the few star fields that the coalition had just abandoned, and when the general headquarters issued the retreat order, he and his colleagues who also belonged to the Philippine Republic were entangled with the Zerg in their long-term land.
Now that the national government of the Republic of Fidelity has been transferred, and the people of the country have been placed in a safe rear, there is nothing to worry about, but they understand that the war launched by the Zerg will be quelled in the end, and after the war is over, how will they deal with themselves, whether they will directly assimilate into the people of other countries? Or do you directly occupy the territories of other countries and re-establish them?
Under the current alliance system, it is completely impossible to carry out a blatant occupation operation, and if you want to keep your own country, you have to take back the territory.
Of course, they also knew that this was absolutely impossible to do with their own strength, so what they had to do now was to hold every opportunity or advantageous point for a possible counterattack, and accumulate every favorable condition for the follow-up coalition main forces.
Therefore, no matter what happens now, Ye Xiaofei will do his best to hold this line of defense, and most of the fleets defending on this line of defense have this idea, so this line is also much stronger than before in terms of stability.
"Report!"
A sharp shout interrupted Ye Xiaofei's thoughts, he looked up and found that it was an observer from the reconnaissance group, and immediately understood what was going on, after all, the same thing had been done seven times before.
"How much is it this time?" Ye Xiaofei asked a little nervously.
"But there are about 20,000 from the front of the fleet, but there are still 90,000 Zerg behind its flanks, probably ready to replenish at any time!" The observer replied directly.
"Really?!" Ye Xiaofei frowned, and roughly understood the composition of the Zerg, the 20,000 in front were the remnants of the Zerg army that they had repelled before, and the ones in the back should be the newly replenished Zerg army this time.
Launching an attack with this amount is still not much of a threat to them, so Ye Xiaofei is not particularly worried.
After the Zerg advance force entered the coalition defense cordon, the coalition fleet immediately began to output firepower, which was of course much higher than that of the Zerg, and naturally launched an attack outside the range of the Zerg.
And the Zerg will naturally not be beaten passively like this, and will attack their respective targets at the maximum speed, and in the powerful firepower network launched by the coalition forces, they will either be hit by lasers and explode on the spot; Either they can flexibly shuttle between the lines of fire, and after finally breaking through the firepower network, they will be accurately killed by the long-range attacks of the coalition camp.
However, this situation only happened at the beginning, when the number of Zerg casualties increased, a thick defensive array was erected for the coalition's firepower network, which not only hindered the deployment of the coalition's firepower network, but also obscured the view of the coalition's long-range point killing.
At present, the coalition forces have no good way to deal with this situation, so they can only continue the original attack, and the Zerg are relying on the corpses of their companions to approach the coalition camp little by little.
Rushing to this point, the 20,000 Zerg who were originally in front of them have basically been exhausted, but the 90,000 who were still in the back of the flank have changed their position during the movement, and after the 20,000 Zerg have completely disappeared, they immediately rose up and began to launch a new round of attack.
In the end, either the Zerg lose most of their combat capabilities and retreat before they reach their line of attack, or they enter the line of attack and attack the alliance in order to inflict damage on the coalition defenses and weaken the defending fleet.
Of course, in the previous attack, the coalition forces successfully suppressed the Zerg attack force outside of its firepower and gave the Zerg no chance at all, but this time it was a little different.
The last round of battle was too fierce, so that after the Zerg retreated, the coalition forces did not complete the clearing of the shooting field, which helped the Zerg attack to a certain extent, plus the scale of the Zerg attack this time has also expanded significantly, it is no longer the kind of situation that can be easily suppressed by its own firepower.
This time, the Zerg successfully entered the attack line, although their current number was less than 30,000, but behind them, another Zerg with a full number of 60,000 rushed along the previous trajectory.
When most of the coalition firepower was on the Zerg in front, this force marched unusually smoothly through the wreckage of its companions, and in a short time it had approached the Zerg in the front row and was ready to replenish.
And when this Zerg completed its position, Ye Xiaofei, who was aware of the hindsight, really realized that the situation was not good, he knew that in the next battle, the battle of the previous mode would never have a chance to be carried out again, and their subsequent battles would only become more and more difficult.
