Chapter 443: Praying Mantis Catches Cicada

"Sir, the vanguard has come into contact with Zhao's fleet, and the two sides have entered range. The staff officer and Commander Arthur enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea, and then, while the commander continued to enjoy coffee, the staff officer moved into the combat position.www.biquge.info

"Then what are you waiting for, let's fight!" Commander Arthur smiled and gave the order to attack, and slowly took a sip of coffee, which was quite a bit of a strategizing taste.

"Attack!" The order to attack was given from the mouth of the staff officer, and on the big screen in front of the commander-in-chief, a battlefield with artillery fire was immediately visible.

The energy projectile dragging the light flew out of the cannon port and flew towards the fleet in the distance, and at the same time, the naval guns of the opposing fleet also began to roar, and in an instant, the entire screen was covered with energy bullets.

Commander Arthur looked at the scene of metal fragments flying in front of him expressionlessly, and slowly stirred the best Blue Mountain coffee in his hand with a delicate gold-plated spoon, and the spoon and cup collided, making a clanging sound. The commander just looked at it and said nothing.

The huge fleet confrontation is not a scene where a single salvo of the main gun can solve the battle, the two sides have casualties on each other, and the fragments of the broken battleship and the debris in the battleship are scattered in that star field, and at a glance, the field of vision is almost all this kind of bloody scene.

"The vanguard has suffered heavy damage, sir!" The staff officer also looked at it for a while, and an instant battle report had already been sent.

"Tell them to fight to the death!" Commander Arthur commanded coldly.

When the staff officer heard this order, he didn't say anything, he didn't give an order, he just watched from there. The absence of an order to retreat meant that a battle was to be fought, and with the enemy's superior forces, the vanguard had to sacrifice or surrender in its entirety.

A small contact quickly determined the winner and loser. Zhao's superior fleet achieved absolute superiority and completely annihilated the vanguard sent by Arthur.

"Sir, that's three thousand warships." The staff officers were a little pale, and as soon as they made contact, they lost three thousand warships, which was not a good sign.

What Commander Arthur appreciates most about this staff officer is that he always questions after executing orders, so he gave him a detailed explanation: "As long as we can lead the main force of Zhao Maniac to the position we need, even if we sacrifice 10,000 warships, it is worth it!" ”

The content of the plan, the staff officer is clear, and he also knows what the ultimate goal of this huge plan is. However, tens of thousands of warships were often used as bait, and no matter how bold the staff officers were, they did not dare to make such a decision. Commander Arthur, on the other hand, was calm and relaxed, not at all as if he had just sent the officers and men of 3,000 warships to hell.

"Hold down, hold down!" The staff officer slowly cheered himself up: "Learn to be a commander, this is the real commander of the army!" Thinking like this, the staff officer quickly calmed down.

"It's moving, sir, Zhao's madman's fleet is moving." Looking at the movement of Zhao Li's fleet in front of him, the staff officer shouted excitedly: "According to our plan, they are coming in this direction." ”

"Calm down, wait for the good news slowly." Commander Arthur stretched out his hand and pressed it weakly, signaling the staff officer to calm down: "Monitor at any time." How many more spies do we have? ”

"Ninety percent of the people have lost contact." The staff officer glanced at the statistics and couldn't help but sigh.

"Their sacrifices are worthwhile, they are all heroes!" Commander Arthur knew why the staff officer sighed, and added: "Crazy Zhao can find out the undercover agent while fighting, and he is not a simple guy." If there is a change in his direction, call the second fleet to attack. ”

"Yes, sir!" The staff officer was slightly shocked in his heart, as soon as the second fleet was on board, there were two thousand warships, such a huge bait, needless to say that Zhao Maniac, even if he was in that position, he couldn't help but want to swallow it.

"The location of the Tibetan Front Fleet!" Commander Arthur asked. The staff officer hurriedly displayed the current position of the Tibetan Front fleet on the screen. While operating, I felt sad for Madman Zhao. This young man can be said to be the most promising military star of the Federation in recent decades, but unfortunately, after this war, it is estimated that he can only fall.

The Tibetan Front Fleet is the hidden armed force of the Alliance, with 20,000 warships, all of which are the latest high-speed warships, and they are also equipped with the latest electronic jamming warships. With this group of armed forces hidden behind the scenes, it is impossible for Madman Zhao to escape from this star field even if he puts on his wings this time.

The fall of genius, even if it is an enemy, will feel regretful. However, they would rather have this regret than exchange it for the pain of their own defeat. The staff officer watched as Zhao Madman's fleet swallowed the bait prepared for them by Commander Arthur without hesitation, and slowly rushed towards the encirclement along the route set for them by the commander.

"Sir, Madman Zhao still has thirty minutes to reach the predetermined location." The staff officers watched as the Federation fleet swallowed the small fleet in one gulp, and then quickly cleaned up the battlefield, rushing towards the direction that Commander Arthur had set for them, and reported quickly.

"Wait slowly, don't rush." Commander Arthur smiled: "Order the third bait, go!" ”

"Let's go!" The staff officer gave the order, and then turned to Commander Arthur's side. The No. 3 decoy fleet is another 2,000 warships, which is equivalent to Commander Arthur directly using 7,000 warships to lure Zhao Maniac to the predetermined ambush position. Everyone can be ruthless to the enemy, but it is the first time that the staff officer has really seen a commander who is so ruthless to his own people. Usually most of the time, he has only seen others use such tricks when he deduces.

"Sir, our spy staff is now less than one percent." Commander Arthur simply turned a blind eye to the staff officer's gaze, and the staff officer naturally would not be troubled, and soon he found the problem and hurriedly reported it.

"It's normal." Commander Arthur was not surprised at all: "Such a blatant collaborator, if the Zhao madman can't solve it, then it's not the Zhao madman." ”

"At this rate, after another five minutes, we won't be able to get their exact position and course. Sir! The staff officer explained worriedly: "We will stand on the same starting line as Zhao Luozi and them." ”

"In another twenty minutes, they'll be in our radar scan radius, do you know, what's the difference?" Commander Arthur smiled, not paying attention.

"It's a pity for those spy people who have been lurking for years." The staff officer shook his head and sighed.

"There is no need to be so sad, they sacrificed like this and died as they deserved." Arthur also gave a rare comfort: "As soon as the war breaks out, can you control our warships from destroying the enemy warships where our spy personnel are located?" It is better to be killed by the enemy than to be killed by our own people, at least, they are dead in their combat posts. ”

"Yes, sir, I see." When the staff officer heard Commander Arthur say this, he felt much better. Attention is again focused on the strategic map.

"I want the Third Fleet to make contact with them and retreat immediately after the battle." Looking at the signs on the strategic map, Commander Arthur suddenly issued an order that was completely different from the previous order, which made the staff officer a little stunned for a while.

"Aren't they bait?" The staff officer was stunned: "Retreat? ”

"Retreat immediately." Commander Arthur increased his tone again, the staff officer didn't dare to say more, quickly gave the order, and then looked at Commander Arthur suspiciously.

"On the previous two occasions, we have successfully made Zhao Maniac think that our fleet is scattered, and if the small fleet will resist stubbornly as soon as it encounters them, they will also be suspicious, and it will also make them feel relieved to flee suddenly." Commander Arthur looked at the strategic map on the screen and slowly explained, "Look, they are chasing the third fleet. ”

The staff officer looked at Commander Arthur with some reverence, this old man didn't seem to be amazing, but, from the beginning of the battle to the present, almost all of Zhao's actions are under his control, even if there will be a small deviation, it will allow him to adjust in time.

"Sir, we can't hear from all the spies." The staff officer looked at the latest report on the screen, and reported with some gloom: "The last batch has also been found out, and the people hidden in the other party's staff headquarters have also been discovered." ”

"This will make Madman Zhao even more proud." Commander Arthur almost immediately gave a reasonable analysis and judgment: "After the small victory, plus the digging up of all our spy personnel, Madman Zhao will definitely be very proud and complacent, he has now annihilated almost a quarter of our combat strength, and he must have thought that the victory is in his hands." ”

"He can still enjoy this feeling for half an hour." The staff officer also heard the commander's judgment and calculation of Zhao Li's psychology from Commander Arthur's words, and although he was very pleased with those spies in his heart, he had more and more confidence in the entire battle.

"Order the Tibetan Front Fleet, get ready." Commander Arthur looked at the big arrow on the screen that marked Zhao Li's fleet, and gave orders without his head.

The confident staff officer, the voice of the order, also seemed very energetic, as if victory had been carried in his pocket, and he was very happy. The staff officer's emotions also seemed to be contagious to those who received the order, and everyone was excited to carry out the order.

"Madman Zhao suddenly stopped ten minutes away from the predetermined position, sir," the data on the screen made the staff officer react suddenly, and quickly told Commander Arthur: "They are changing formations. ”

"Change formation? What formation? Commander Arthur was quick to react.

"From a W type to an X shape, a strong assault formation, sir." The staff officer soon got the news from the intelligence services.

"I'm not afraid that he won't attack, I'm afraid that he will escape, otherwise our thousands of decoys will be lost in vain." Commander Arthur's brows furrowed, to be honest, he was also a little nervous in a battle of this level. This is especially true when the enemy is about to enter his ambush circle.

"Madman Zhao put some of the wounded battleships in the middle, and the others at the front and rear ends." Zhao Li adjusted the formation this time, and it seemed that it took a little more time, which made Commander Arthur very impatient. Soon, however, Commander Arthur heard the staff officer's explanation, and his mood relaxed a little.

Zhao Li did not enter the ambush circle for a minute, Commander Arthur would be nervous for a minute, this difficult time lasted for half an hour, Zhao Li's fleet was completed, and then, under the nervous eyes of Arthur and the staff officer, the fleet began to slowly accelerate, along the original trajectory, rushing towards the predetermined position.

"Order the Zangfeng Fleet, close the door!" Commander Arthur personally looked at the results of the radar scan, indicating that Zhao Li's fleet had entered the predetermined area, and couldn't wait to announce the order to close the siege.

"Yes, sir!" The excited staff officer was no more relaxed than Commander Arthur, shouted happily, and quickly gave the order.

"The Hidden Front fleet has appeared, and the general attack has begun!" Ten minutes later, Commander Arthur finally gave the order for a general attack, and then sat down in a large office chair, staring at the strategic map without blinking, and never spoke again.

"Sir, the Zhao madman fleet is a little flustered, and the formation can't be maintained."

"Sir, Zhao's madman fleet has begun to counterattack, and the vanguard has suffered a slight loss."

……

"Sir, the Zangfeng fleet has joined the battle group, and the Zhao madman was forced to counterattack back and forth, and their formation was disconnected from the middle."

……

Listening to the news that was beneficial to his side one by one, Commander Arthur finally let out a long breath, Zhao Li was already a turtle in the urn, and he could no longer set off the storm. Commander Arthur, who was excited, couldn't help but shout: "Coffee! ”

The adjutant of life quickly brought the coffee, and Commander Arthur stirred the coffee comfortably, specially added two more pieces of sugar, and then slowly tasted it: "It's so fragrant!" ”

The faces of the entire staff were also filled with happy smiles, and the atmosphere that had been suppressed before was all gone after the Federation fleet was encircled.

"Guess how long the Federation fleet will last?" The staff officer happily greeted the others, as if victory was already the fruit in his hands, just waiting to be picked.

"Report, a fleet suddenly appeared behind the Zangfeng fleet!" Just as everyone was happily celebrating, a discordant voice suddenly sounded loudly, sweeping away the entire changed atmosphere.

"What? Where is it? The staff officer was shocked, and without waiting for Commander Arthur to ask, he asked himself.

On the screen, a schematic diagram of the battle situation is immediately displayed. On the strategic map, Zhao Li's X formation was divided into two-for-tat V-shapes, the V-shaped in front was frantically attacking forward, but the V-shaped in the back was firmly surrounded by the entire Tibetan Front fleet together with a hidden fleet that suddenly appeared.

The coffee cup in Commander Arthur's hand fell directly to the ground.
