Chapter 443 Mantis catching cicadas
Chapter 443: The mantis stalks the cicada
"Sir, the vanguard has contacted Zhao Crazy's fleet, and both sides have entered the range." The staff officer and Commander Arthur enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea. Then, while the commander continued to enjoy the coffee, the staff officer entered the combat position.
"What are you waiting for? Let's fight!" Commander Arthur smiled and gave the order to attack, slowly sipped in the coffee, which was quite a bit of a plan.
"Attack!" The attack order was issued from the staff, and a battlefield with artillery fire flying everywhere appeared on the big screen in front of the commander.
The energy dragging the light bounced out of the muzzle and flew towards the fleet in the distance. At the same time, the naval guns of the opponent's fleet also began to roar. In an instant, the entire screen was filled with energy bombs.
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 an exquisite gilded spoon. The spoon and the cup collided, making a jingle sound. The commander just watched it and said nothing.
The huge fleet confrontation is not a battle scene like bullying the weak, which can solve the battle scene with a single volley of main guns. Both sides suffered casualties, and the fragmented warship fragments and the human bodies of the warships scattered in the star field. At a glance, the whole field of vision was almost all of this kind of flesh-and-blooded scene.
"The vanguard's troops were seriously injured, sir!" The staff officer also looked at it for a while and had an instant battle report sent.
"Let them fight to the death!" Commander Arthur ordered coldly.
When the staff heard this order, they said nothing, and issued an order, but they just watched there. Not giving the order to retreat means fighting. With the enemy's superior forces, all the vanguards can only sacrifice or surrender.
The small-scale contact quickly decided the winner. Zhao Fengzi's advantageous fleet gained an absolute advantage and wiped out the vanguard troops sent by Arthur.
"Sir, those are three thousand warships." The staff officer was a little pale. As soon as he came into contact, he lost three thousand warships. This was not a good sign.
Commander Arthur appreciates this staff member the most, that he always questioned after executing the order, so he explained in detail to him: "As long as we can lead the main force of Crazy Zhao to the position we need, even if we sacrifice ten thousand warships, it is worth it!"
The staff officer clearly lost the content of the plan and knew what the ultimate goal of this huge plan was. However, he often required tens of thousands of warships as bait. No matter how brave the staff officers and soldiers were, they did not dare to make such a decision. On the contrary, Commander Arthur was calm and leisurely, and did not look like he had just sent three thousand warships to hell.
"Stay calm, keep calm!" The staff officer slowly cheered himself up: "Learn from the commander, this is the real general who commands the army!" Thinking of this, the staff officer quickly calmed down.
"It's moving, sir, Zhao Fengzi's fleet has moved." Looking at the movements of Zhao Li's fleet coming from the front, the staff officer shouted excitedly: "According to our plan, they are coming in this direction."
"Calm down, wait for good news." Commander Arthur reached out and pressed his hand, signaling the staff to calm down: "Supervise at any time. How many spy personnel are there?"
"Ninety percent of the personnel have lost contact." The staff officer looked at the statistics and couldn't help but sigh.
"Their sacrifices are valuable, they are all heroes!" Commander Arthur knew why the staff officer sighed and added: "Crazy Zhao can catch the undercover while fighting, which is not a simple guy. If his direction changes, ask the No. 2 fleet to attack."
"Yes, sir!" The staff officer was slightly surprised. As soon as the No. 2 fleet arrived, there were two thousand warships. Such a huge bait, not to mention Crazy Zhao, even if he was in that position, he would not help but want to swallow it.
"The location of the Tibetan Fleet!" Commander Arthur asked. The staff quickly displayed the current location of the Tibetan Fleet on the screen. While operating, they felt sad for Zhao Caizi. This young man can be said to be the most promising new star in the Federation in recent decades. Unfortunately, after this battle, he probably could only die.
The Tibetan Fleet is a hidden armed force in the alliance. It has 20,000 warships, all of which are the latest high-speed warships, and is also equipped with the latest electronic jamming warship. Ordinary radar scanning, you will only think that this is a large meteorite and asteroid belt. No one would have expected that a huge fleet. With this group of armed forces hidden behind the scenes, Zhao Fengzi had wings this time and could not escape from this star field.
Even the enemy would feel regretful when the fall of the genius fell. However, they would rather have this regret than exchange it for the pain of their own failure. The staff watched Zhao Fengzi's fleet swallow the bait prepared by Commander Arthur without hesitation, and slowly rushed towards the encirclement along the route set by Commander Arthur.
"Sir, Zhao Fengzi has 30 minutes to arrive at the predetermined position." The staff officer watched helplessly as the Federal Fleet swallowed the small fleet in one bite, then quickly cleaned the battlefield, rushed towards the direction that Commander Arthur had already set for them, and reported quickly.
"Wait slowly, don't worry." Commander Arthur smiled: "Order Bait No. 3 and set off!"
"Start!" The staff officer issued an order, and then turned to Commander Arthur. The No. 3 bait fleet was another two thousand warships. In this way, it was equivalent to Commander Arthur who directly used a seven thousand warship to lead Zhao Fengzi to the predetermined ambush position. He could do it when he was ruthless against the enemy, but it was the first time that the staff officer had truly seen the commander who was so cruel to his own people. Usually, most of the time, he had only seen others using such tricks during deduction.
"Sir, our intelligence personnel are less than one percent now." Commander Arthur turned a blind eye to the staff's eyes, and the staff naturally would not be too troublesome. Soon he discovered the problem and hurriedly reported it.
"It's normal." Commander Arthur was not surprised at all: "If Zhao Crazy can't solve the problem with such a blatant cooperating with the enemy, then he wouldn't be Zhao Crazy."
"At this speed, in another five minutes, we will not be able to get their exact location and direction. Sir!" The staff officer explained with concern: "We will stand on the same starting line with Zhao Fengzi and the others."
"In another twenty minutes, they will enter our radar scanning radius. Do you know, is there any difference?" Commander Arthur smiled and didn't care at all.
"What a pity for those spymen who have been lurking for many years." The staff officer shook his head and sighed.
"Don't be so sad. They sacrificed themselves like this and died as if they were." Arthur also comforted him with a rare sentence: "As soon as the war broke out, can you control our warships and not destroy the enemy warships where our intelligence personnel are located? Instead of being beaten to death by our own people, it is better to be killed by the enemy. At least, they are dead in their combat posts."
"Yes, sir, I understand." The staff officer felt much more uncomfortable when he heard Commander Arthur's words. He focused his attention on the strategic map again.
"We need to contact the No. 3 fleet to retreat immediately after the war." 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 a little surprised.
"Aren't they bait?" The staff officer was stunned: "Retreat?"
"Retreat immediately." Commander Arthur's tone increased again. The staff officer dared not say much, and quickly issued an order, then looked at Commander Arthur in confusion.
"In the past two times, we have successfully made Zhao Fengzi think that our fleet was scattered. If the small fleet had to resist stubbornly when it hit them, they would also be suspicious and suddenly escaped, which would also make them relieved." Commander Arthur looked at the strategic map on the screen and slowly explained: "Look, they are chasing the No. 3 Fleet."
The staff officer looked at Commander Arthur with some respect. This old man seemed not amazing, but from the beginning of the battle to the present, almost all of Zhao's actions were in his control. Even if there were a small deviation, he would make him adjust it in time. This ability to guess and plan for the people is envious of the staff officer.
"Sir, we cannot receive news from all the intelligence personnel." The staff officer looked at the latest report on the screen and reported in a sad way: "The last group was also caught, and the people hiding in the other party's staff were also discovered."
"This will make Zhao Crazy Zi even more proud." Commander Arthur almost immediately gave a reasonable analysis and judgment: "After the small victory, and with the excavation of all our spy personnel, Zhao Crazy Zi will definitely be very proud and proud. He has now wiped out almost a quarter of our combat power, and must have thought he was sure to win."
"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. Although he was very pleased with the intelligence personnel, he had become more and more confident about the entire battle.
"Order the Zangfeng Fleet and be prepared." Commander Arthur looked at the big arrow marking Zhao Li's Fleet on the screen, and gave the order without even his head.
With the confident staff, the voice of the order was very energetic, as if victory was already in his pocket, and he was extremely happy. The staff's emotions seemed to have infected those who were receiving the orders, and everyone was excited to execute the orders.
"Zhao Crazy Zhao suddenly stopped ten minutes from the scheduled position. Sir," the data on the screen made the staff react suddenly and quickly told Commander Arthur: "They are changing the formation."
"Change formation? What formation?" Commander Arthur also reacted quickly.
"Change from w type to x type, strongly protruding formation, commander." The staff officer quickly got news from the intelligence department.
"I'm not afraid of him not attacking, but I'm afraid of him running away, otherwise our thousands of baits will be lost in vain." Commander Arthur frowned. To be honest, he was also a little nervous at this level of battle. Especially when the enemy was about to enter his ambush circle, this was even more so.
"Zhao Crazy Zhao put some injured warships in the middle, and the others were placed at the front and back ends." Zhao Li adjusted the formation this time, and it seemed that he had spent more time, which made Commander Arthur very impatient. But soon, Commander Arthur heard the staff's explanation and relaxed a little.
Zhao Li did not enter the ambush circle for a minute, and Commander Arthur would be very nervous for a minute. This difficult time lasted for half an hour before Zhao Li's fleet changed its formation. Then, under the nervous eyes of Arthur and the staff officer, the fleet began to slowly accelerate and rushed towards the predetermined position along the original trajectory.
"Order the Zangfeng Fleet to close the door!" Commander Arthur personally watched the results of the radar scanning and indicated that Zhao Li's fleet had entered the predetermined area and could not wait to announce the order to encircle.
"Yes, sir!" The excited staff officer was not at all relaxed than Commander Arthur. He shouted happily and issued an order quickly.
"The Zangfeng Fleet appears, and the total attack begins!" Ten minutes later, Commander Arthur finally issued the order for the general attack, and then sat on the wide office chair, staring at the strategic map without blinking, and never talking again.
"Sir, Zhao Crazy Fleet is a little panicked and the formation cannot be maintained."
"Sir, Zhao Crazy Fleet began to fight back, and the vanguard suffered a slight loss."
"Sir, the Zangfeng Fleet has joined the battle group. Zhao Fengzi was forced to fight back and forth, and their formation was disconnected from the middle."
Listening to the news that was beneficial to our side, Commander Arthur finally let out a long sigh. Zhao Li was already in the jar and could no longer cause any storm. The excited Commander Arthur couldn't help but shout: "Coffee!"
The adjutant of life quickly brought the coffee. Commander Arthur stirred the coffee comfortably, added two more pieces of sugar, and slowly tasted it: "It smells so good!"
The entire staff's face was filled with a happy smile. The atmosphere that had been suppressed before disappeared after the Federal fleet was surrounded.
"Guess, how long can the Federal Fleet last?" The staff officer greeted the others happily, as if victory was already the fruit in his hand, just waiting to be picked.
"Report, a fleet suddenly appeared behind the Zangfeng Fleet!" Just as everyone was celebrating happily, a discordant voice suddenly rang out loud, sweeping away the entire changed atmosphere.
"What? Where?" The staff officer was shocked and asked himself without waiting for Commander Arthur to ask.
The battle diagram was immediately displayed on the screen. On the strategic map, Zhao Li's x formation was divided into two tit-for-tat V-shaped shapes. The V-shaped shape in front was attacking forward frantically, but the V-shaped shape behind was firmly surrounded by a hidden fleet that suddenly appeared.
