One Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty-Three Siege and Attack

In the following period of time, in addition to taking the team members on missions, Ye Han's most important work every day was to pay attention to the battlefield situation.

In order to cooperate with the Allied Forces' plan, the defenders of Funing did not plan the gains and losses of one building or one street. The battles that took place every day were all centered on how to annihilate the living forces of the Zerg, and they always took the initiative to withdraw from the position after inflicting a certain degree of damage to the Zerg.

In a few days, most of the outer layer of Funing City fell into the hands of the enemy.

There is a saying in Go that the corners and edges are inconspicuous, which means that the corners and edges look inconspicuous, but they can occupy more territory.

Most of the outer layer fell into the hands of the Zerg, which is close to one-fifth of the land in Funing. The Zerg is likely to completely surround Funing and surround the garrison.

Although the defenders lost a large number of fortresses, there were not many casualties, and the defenders were more concentrated after withdrawing from the periphery, just like a withdrawn fist, which could hit hard at any time.

The insects did not feel it, but the Zerg people who commanded the Zerg found that when the war just started, it didn't take much time to seize a fortress building, and it didn't consume many insects.

But now it is different. The time and cost of capturing a fortress building are three to five times that of the past!

Moreover, as the area occupied by the swarm becomes larger and larger, the distribution range of the swarm is also getting wider and wider. Although reinforcements are continuously heading to Funing, the number of reinforcements is limited, which can barely make up for the losses in the battle. If you hold on to the spot, it is still okay. If you continue to attack, occupying one more street and grabbing one more fortress building will dilute the original density of the swarm.

The density of the swarm is too low, which directly leads to insufficient defense in the occupied area. The defenders will find a weak link in the swarm-occupied area to tear a gap and take the initiative to attack and cause trouble for the swarm.

This is not only done by the defenders, but also by the special service team several times, which makes the swarm commanders very anxious.

There is no way. The military has never believed in rigid defense, and Mi Yuan is even more loyal to active defense. The swarm has not entered the city, and there is no environment for active defense. Now the Zerg has entered the city in large numbers, and the entire defense line is full of loopholes. No matter where a hole is opened, the defenders' counterattack will give the Zerg a headache for a long time.

The key is that the purpose of the defenders' counterattack is not to advance the front line, but to focus on the Zerg and beat them to death, and every time they use fast to beat slow. Before the Zerg send reinforcements, the attacking defenders have already withdrawn on their own initiative. Even if all the Zerg on the defense line are dead, they will not move the front line outward.

At this point, the battle has entered a stalemate stage. If the Zerg does not get stronger support, it will be good to control the current occupied area.

But the aliens' order to the Zerg is to continue the attack!

Reason tells the Zerg that the consequence of continuing the attack is likely to be a total collapse, but in the Zerg's mind, reason must give way to the aliens' orders. As a result, the Zerg has to continue the attack with insufficient troops and continue to suffer huge casualties that should not be borne.

The garrison's tactics are not new at all, but it is very effective against the Zerg. The current attack of the Zerg can be seen as the last struggle, and collapse is only a matter of time.

Compared with the situation in Funing City, Ye Han is more concerned about the war outside Funing City.

The aliens did have the intention of besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements. While sending a large number of giant insects to attack the city, they also arranged an equal number of giant insects to intercept human reinforcements.

The battle to attack the reinforcements first started in Europe... The Zerg has the best foundation and the largest number there. In addition, Europe has a complete transportation network, and humans can support various cities very quickly, so the confrontation time is the earliest.

The United States and Funing are not slow either, only an hour later than Europe.

However, it is different in India. The infrastructure there is weak and the military mobility is low. It was a full day later than other directions before the reinforcements and the Zerg engaged in battle.

Ye Han didn't know much about the situation abroad. He only knew that the reinforcements and the Zerg fought fiercely outside several cities, and both sides had their wins and losses.

The situation in Funing is more complicated. Not only did the Zerg intercept human reinforcements, but the military also organized troops to attack and intercept the Zerg.

The two sides fought wits and strength within a radius of more than 100 kilometers with Funing as the center.

The most common situation is that the military sent a reinforcement in a formal manner, advancing towards Funing at a very fast speed, constantly avoiding the intercepted Zerg on the way, and interspersed at high speed among the Zerg... No matter how you look at it, the mission of this unit is to support Funing at all costs.

But what is the reality? The seemingly fully equipped troops are actually just a good-looking empty shell, and there are not many troops in fact.

That's not all. Behind this unit is a real combat unit that is specifically responsible for dealing with the intercepted Zerg, and this unit is more mobile and has stronger combat effectiveness. Among them are armored units and mobile infantry.

In addition to the frontal combat troops, the military also mobilized a large number of long-range artillery. As long as the Zerg appears, they will cover it with artillery without saying a word, and then the armored units and mobile infantry will cooperate to clean up the battlefield again and again.

Only one in ten insects can survive this three-dimensional offensive. Often, before the interception begins, the insect swarm is dispersed by the human anti-interception troops.

After suffering several losses, the insect swarm has learned its lesson. It will not show up unless the bait enters the encirclement. Moreover, it has learned the military's tactics to the fullest. It arranges anti-interception insect swarms outside the interception insect swarms. Once the human anti-interception troops appear, it will immediately launch an attack and fight the humans with all its strength.

Originally, it was just bait plus interception troops. In a few days, the number of troops was increased layer by layer. One bait must be arranged with three to four troops to effectively eliminate the interception insect swarm.

In the most serious interception battle, after the bait was attacked by the swarm of insects, the military deployed seven waves of reinforcements within half an hour, not counting the long-range artillery fire that supported the battlefield from time to time. In the end, the swarm of insects was defeated by the advantage of firepower, which led to the final victory.

However, no matter how well the reinforcements fought, they had to consider the overall situation. After several times of breaking up the interception swarm of insects, the reinforcements did not approach Funing and always looked for opportunities outside Funing.

Their mission was the same as that of the Funing defenders, which was to eliminate the living forces of the swarm of insects as much as possible. Entering Funing was equivalent to actively wearing shackles, and no rational commander would do this.

In the blink of an eye, it was February. More than ten days had passed, and the battle was still stalemate. Perhaps because the progress in all directions was not very smooth, the swarm of insects launched a new offensive in the Middle East.

When Ye Han heard the news, he didn't know what to say. That place was full of deserts and was one of the most unsuitable areas for the survival of the swarm of insects. What on earth was worth the aliens' attention?

Oil?

Don't be ridiculous. Although oil is an organic matter, can aliens turn oil directly into insects?
