Chapter 546: A Small Tactical Victory and an Unexpected Event

It must be said that after Zhu Shijiu pointed out the problem, the self-adjustment of the sick ghost was quite effective, at least extending the entire battle command time by a full hour.

But it was only extended by an hour.

An hour later, a new problem appeared.

"The black soldiers in this war zone... are simply riddled with holes." Zhu Shijiu couldn't help but sigh.

Why did he have such a sigh? Naturally, it was because the problem this time appeared on the black soldiers again.

That's right, if it's just about tactics, there is actually no problem with the entire battle process, and each tactical goal has achieved a good effect. Under the careful command of the sick ghost, the alien insects were slowly devoured by about 10%.

If they retreat to the defense base after reducing 10% of the alien insects, then facing the subsequent alien insect offensive, the pressure on the black soldiers in the Liberia war zone will be relieved to a certain extent.

So Zhu Shijiu judged that there was no problem with the tactics of the sick ghost.

But the core problem is that the black soldiers have really been stretched to their limits so far. The original plan of the sick ghost was to carefully judge the situation while executing this tactic. If he noticed that the black soldiers had an irresistible trend, he would proceed to the next step, which was the retreat strategy.

The core of the retreat strategy lies in the two large forces in the southeast and northwest.

At the beginning of the entire tactic, the southeast and northwest forces divided the alien zerg into two major war zones, and the 28 teams in the center took the opportunity to insert, on the one hand consolidating the situation of the war, and on the other hand, it was also a means of rear harassment for the two war zones.

But there is a hidden danger in this, that is, it is easy for the central war zone team to enter but difficult to exit.

After the central team forcibly inserted into the center to demarcate, they were destined to withstand the alien zerg impact from two directions. Although they faced only a small part of the entire alien zerg group, the real majority of the troops were still mainly attracted by the two large forces, but the pressure should not be underestimated.

More importantly, after they entered the central war zone, they were restrained by the alien zerg in two directions, which made it difficult for them to easily leave the war situation.

Of course, as a commander, the sick ghost would not ignore such a big hidden danger before deciding to implement the tactics. The solution is very simple, that is, to release pheromones through the large forces in the southeast and northwest directions to pull the two halves of the alien zerg swarm apart.

Just like pulling a cookie with a crack in the middle to both sides, if the execution is successful, the black soldiers in the central theater can successfully take the opportunity to escape.

But the problem arises here. The black soldiers did follow the instructions of the sick ghost, and the pheromones of the two large forces were also released. Logically speaking, the two large forces should be able to successfully release pheromones that are enough to attract alien zerg, regardless of the number of black soldiers or the quality of black soldiers, and the tactical goal can be achieved.

However, unexpectedly, the two large forces successfully erupted pheromones, but the reaction of the alien zerg was mediocre.

The alien zerg swarm that was in direct contact with the two large forces in the southeast and northwest was attracted away in part, but the central theater left most of the alien zerg!

Even when the two large armies were pulling away to the sides, some of the Zerg that were originally staring at the two large armies actually turned around and stared at the Central War Zone team!

"How could it be... How could this happen?"

Faced with such an extraordinary situation, the sickly ghost was pale, staring at the screen with his eyes, puzzled.

He even suspected that the black soldiers in the Central War Zone had also exploded pheromones without authorization, so he immediately contacted the captains of the various teams in the Central War Zone.

But the replies of the captains of the teams who were struggling to support were very consistent, and none of them did such a stupid thing.

These central teams knew that their mission was very dangerous, and the only chance to escape from the battlefield was the two large armies, so how could they explode pheromones casually?

Exploding pheromones is the last resort, and it can only be used when implementing bait tactics. In the process of tactical elimination, every professional black soldier will save as much energy as possible, especially in the current crisis. Exploding pheromones is purely mentally ill.

But why did the Zerg ignore the pheromones of the two large armies and only focus on the Central Theater Squad?

No one could explain.

Zhu Shijiu remembered what the sick ghost had told him not long ago. Although the Zerg had no wisdom, their hunting instinct would make them objectively implement tactics against humans.

So he guessed that perhaps the Zerg did not gain any advantage in the battle with the black soldiers. Their hunting instinct told them that even if they chased the two large armies, they might not get a good result, so they simply chose to "guarantee the bottom line."

What is the "bottom line"?

Without a doubt, it is the 28 small teams trapped in the center.

Although their number is not as large as the two large armies, they at least have food that can be seen and touched.

But anyway, it is too late to think about the cause of defeat now. Zhu Shijiu looked at the sick ghost.

Sweat broke out on the sickly ghost's forehead, and his already sickly pale face became even uglier. He coughed twice, and his eyes never left the screen for a second. It was obvious that he was thinking about how to break the situation.

That's right, he did not give up, but commanded the two large troops to return and stabilize the situation back to the beginning.

This was obviously a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution.

Why did he implement the retreat strategy before? Wasn't it because he felt that the black soldiers could no longer hold on? Now, in order to save the black soldiers in the central war zone, he chose to let these black soldiers who could not hold on for much longer return to the battlefield, which meant that he didn't have much time left.

If the sick ghost didn't come up with a strategy to save the central squad in time, then the black soldiers really couldn't hold on, and I'm afraid the whole battle would fall into the abyss.

While thinking about how to break the situation, the sick ghost frowned and bit his fingernails.

Zhu Shijiu didn't disturb him, but he was ready to go back in his heart.

But it can be said that the sick ghost is also a genius. The guy who can independently take charge of such a critical war zone should not be underestimated.

He chose to split the troops.

"Divide the troops at this time? Is it appropriate?"

Even Zhu Shijiu could see that the black soldiers had reached their limit and were no longer suitable for executing too complicated tactics. The more complicated it was, the greater the burden on their bodies, and naturally more likely to have problems. From the very beginning, the sick ghost had not thought of complicated tactics, so the tactics he had implemented so far were not complicated.

But this move just now... To be honest, Zhu Shijiu really admired the sick ghost.

He did the opposite, and his unique courage as a commander prompted him to choose to divide the troops.

Not only the large troops were divided, but also the 28 teams in the central theater were divided! The already out-of-control battle situation became extremely chaotic. The sick ghost wanted to stir up the battle situation, and then rescue the rescue team like a chestnut in the fire!

Since time can't be delayed, then don't delay! Try the last bit of possibility, squeeze the last bit of limit of the black soldiers, disrupt the situation and create a chance of victory!

Can it succeed?

Zhu Shijiu had doubts in his heart, but after only ten minutes, his doubts turned into admiration.

Under the command of the sick ghost, a large number of scattered teams began to attack the alien zerg swarm, fighting here and there, but the overall situation was controlled by the sick ghost. As time went on, a prototype of the central war zone team appeared.

The thick outside of the alien zerg was forcibly thinned! With the help of the inside and the outside, 25 of the 28 teams in the central war zone successfully broke through.

As for the remaining three, they stayed in the alien zerg swarm forever.

Such a loss seems to be acceptable. The black soldiers successfully joined and then retreated smoothly.

However, this did not meet the psychological expectations of the sick ghost.

You must know that his original psychological expectation was to eliminate 20% of the alien zerg and the war losses did not exceed 10%.

However, now... the war losses did not exceed 10%, but only 10% of the alien zerg were eliminated, and the bigger problem was that due to something wrong, the overall endurance of the black soldiers was greatly reduced.

Because of this, although the current tactics are considered a small victory, the subsequent future may not be.

When the battle finally stabilized, Zhu Shijiu also made a summary in his mind, and then asked: "Bingkugui, what do you think is the real problem of tactical failure? Are there other better options?"

Bingkugui looked bitter, but he also seemed to be trying to sort out his thoughts, so he told Zhu Shijiu the truth.

"You should know the real problem without me telling you, but the better option... Well, if it's hindsight, it's better to take precautions in advance. Just for prevention, I can think of several..."
