Chapter 63: Information Warfare
The inability to track Zuo Zhe's exact location was the biggest difficulty for the attackers. If you can lock Zuo Zhe's specific location, you don't need to engage in such a big battle at all, you only need to send elite troops.
However, now, whether it is the interstellar pirates or the defenders of Iron Blood City, they only know that Zuo Zhe is still within the scope of Iron Blood City, but they don't know where Zuo Zhe is hiding. The reason why FA and Iron-Blood City are still in the scope of Iron Blood City is because of the air traffic control implemented in Iron Blood City. If you exclude escaping Iron City by flying machines, the speed of escape will be relatively slow, whether it is through the surface or underground. Compared to the 500 kilometers in diameter of Iron Blood City, it is very difficult to evacuate Iron Blood City in a few hours.
And such a huge enveloping area of Iron-Blood City also made it difficult for both pirates and the defenders of Iron-Blood City to find Zuo Zhe in a short period of time. Therefore, the choice of the interstellar pirates is to oppress with strong force and force the shrinking defenders of Iron Blood City to hunt down Zuo Zhe together with the pirates. However, whether it is for the interstellar pirates or the defenders of Iron Blood, the prerequisite for negotiations is to show force first. Only strong force can win a more favorable situation at the next negotiating table.
After nightfall, the interstellar pirates no longer attacked from the southeast, but dispersed into small forces, approaching the center of Iron Blood City from all directions. In the course of this afternoon, the interstellar pirates who set up a blockade on the outskirts of Iron Blood City captured a lot of mercenaries and forced them to sell their lives by planting remote-controlled bombs. Therefore, in tonight's island attack formation, there are more teams of unwilling cannon fodder mercenaries. If it is the side of Iron and Blood City, even if the mercenaries are forced to work, they will definitely not use the threat of remote-controlled bombs, but will choose to use high profits as bait. And this is also the main reason why the contradiction between mercenaries and interstellar pirates is difficult to resolve, and interstellar pirates use remote-controlled bombs strapped to mercenaries as "commissions".
As the night gets darker, the second round of the battle between the attackers and the defenders is about to begin.
And Zuo Zhe, after hiding underground for an afternoon, finally came to show his head. At this time, Ruiya, who had not slept for more than a day, had already fallen asleep, only Zuo Zhe was still in such good spirits, and he did not feel sleepy at all.
With the lessons learned from last night, Zuo Zhe will not make the same mistakes as last night. There is no doubt that there are many miniature flying machines hidden in the night sky. If Zuo Zhe rashly showed his head, he would be captured by the night vision cameras of these miniature aircraft.
Therefore, Zuo Zhe did not rush out of the surface, but started the excavation machinery of the individual mecha and drilled towards the nearest underground waterway. With the help of the Terminator, Zuo Zhe still has a big advantage in intelligence. Tonight, the interstellar pirates will attack the recalcitrant defenders of Ironblood City while beware of enemies from the northern city of Ruixue. Although the pirates have planted a large number of internal agents within the Ruixue group, they do not know the specific route of this support army. Details such as this route of advance were impromptu by the commander of the reinforcements. Only in this way can the absolute secrecy of the whereabouts be ensured. The so-called "generals who are not subject to the orders of foreign monarchs" means that the high-level should not meddle in this kind of tactical problem. As long as the commander achieves the specific goal as required, as for the specific implementation details, this thing will make people suspicious if he doesn't know about it but asks.
It's a pity that most of the middle and high-level internal positions of the interstellar pirates in Ruixue City have been uprooted by the high-level executives of the Ruixue Group who learned the news. And Ruixue City is also under full martial law this afternoon, in fact, the strictest communication control! Specifically, under full communication control, who dares to make a phone call outside the city, once the communication signal is intercepted, will be arrested! In this regard, although the interstellar pirates took precautions in advance, many of them should still be captured. Now, the power of the interstellar pirates to remain in Ruixue City has been severely weakened. Even if the interstellar pirates attack from the outside, it will be difficult to take down Ruixue City in a short period of time.
As for the troops sent to Iron Blood City to support, the top management of the Ruixue Group did not recall them. The previous behavior of pig teammates did make Ruixue Group lose face. If you do something untrustworthy at this time, you will be spurned by all the forces of the Earth Cave Star, and you will suffer even greater losses after this battle.
The anomaly in Ruixue City has attracted the attention of the Pirate Command. The city of Ruixue should be arrested early, which means that there is a huge hole in the secrecy of information on the side of the interstellar pirates. And the enemy can get in touch with Ruixue City when Iron Blood City's communications are blocked, and the only way to do so is through that top-secret cable that is hidden in the ground for an unknown amount of time. The cable could be 10,000 meters underground, or it could be 100,000 meters underground. With the current strength of the interstellar pirates, it is difficult to find this top-secret cable in the extreme depths of the earth.
Judging by the high-level interaction between Iron Blood City and Ruixue City, it is possible that Zuo Zhe has been in contact with the high-level of Iron Blood City, and even obtained the protection of the high-level of Iron Blood City. After all, that kind of top-secret underground cable is not qualified for ordinary people to use. If that's the case, then the only way for the pirates to capture Zuo Zhe is to completely hurt the defenders of Iron Blood City and force them to hand over Zuo Zhe in a way that is so strong that they tremble!
In addition to this possibility, there is another possibility. That is, the target task has an incredibly powerful network intrusion capability. It was this extremely powerful network intrusion ability that allowed Zuo Zhe to bypass the high-level of Iron Blood City and get in touch with the high-level of Ruixue City! If this is the case, then the interstellar pirates will face an even more dire situation. Because, if Zuo Zhe has this level of network intrusion ability, the information inside the interstellar pirates may also be leaked!
In line with the guidelines of "easy first, then difficult" and "prevention and deterioration", the interstellar pirates will first attack the well-targeted defenders of Iron Blood. At the same time, the interstellar pirates will also be prepared for the possibility of being prepared. Specifically, the key of the high-level pirate communication information has to be changed frequently, so Zuo Zhe has to spend more time to crack the latest key of the high-level pirate communication information.
I have to say that the practice of interstellar pirates has indeed caused a lot of pressure on the Terminators. However, this approach can only prevent Zuo Zhe from directly peeking into the communications of the pirate executives. When it comes to the level of ordinary pirates who have implemented the plan, Zuo Zhe can still judge the distribution and affiliation of the surrounding pirates through the updated friend or foe identifier.
