Chapter 970: Gradually Difficult Breakthrough
Inside the command ship, Qin Ge looked at the sea sand table in front of him, his brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned. It was obvious that the progress of the entire battle was not as smooth as previously expected.
"Tsk, the defense system of the Siren core waters has increased exponentially. Fortunately, I have been calm for a while and made all the preparations for the attack. Otherwise, if I had continued to fight with the momentum of victory, I would definitely have failed here!"
Watching the situation constantly changing, Qin Ge said in amazement.
"Haha, in fact, such a situation is conceivable. This is close to the core sea area of the Siren, and the resistance we encounter will definitely be much stronger than before. However, it seems that we still underestimated the Siren.
According to the current trend in the core waters of the Pacific Ocean, are all the Siren ships on this planet being pulled here? "Even Zhenhai, who is usually very calm, frowned when he saw the current situation.
"It's not possible, but it's true." Helena, who was leaning against the hatch, looked at the smoke rising in the distance and said, "We have explored the Atlantic Ocean before and found that there are no sirens there, so we advised the commander to withdraw the defense team supporting the camp over there and seek support from there.
That’s not a random statement, it’s a real situation.”
"So since that time, the Siren has been gathering troops in the core waters of the Pacific Ocean? Why didn't you tell me clearly at that time, Helena ?" Qin Ge asked puzzledly.
"Haha, because at that time, telling the commander or not telling the commander would have the same result. And if you knew this information at that time, your decision to attack the Pacific Ocean might have been shaken.
But this is also our only chance to break through the Pacific Ocean and eliminate the Sirens on this planet. Isn't it?" Helena smiled.
Qin Ge touched his nose. It was indeed as Helena said. If she had really told Qin Ge at that time that the Siren would soon gather all its forces in the core area of the Pacific, then the strategy for the core area of the Pacific would indeed be shaken, at least it would not be as firm as it is now.
"Okay, let's not talk about the previous things anymore. So, Helena, do you have any thoughts on the current situation?" Qin Ge asked.
"Thoughts?" Helena smiled. "From the report sent back now, everything is going smoothly, proving that the commander's strategy is clear and feasible. Do you still need to ask for my opinion?"
"But this progress is a bit slow, isn't it?" Qin Ge said.
Helena's expression suddenly became somewhat helpless, "Commander, it only took us four or five days to gain a foothold on the enemy's first line of defense, and we are expanding our advantage. Why do you think it's slow?
I suddenly want to ask, how long do you think it will take to break through all the enemy's defenses and reach the core to meet your expectations?"
"Well, I expect to complete all the battles within two months." Qin Ge coughed.
“Haha, you really are…” Helena smiled bitterly, “ The Antix you met before were indeed very easy to deal with, but from now on, they will reveal their true colors, so don’t underestimate the enemy.
You know, the real battle has just begun."
"I think Miss Helena is right. We can feel it since we entered the sea. The number of executors and agents has increased, and the overall strength of the Siren mass-produced ships has improved. Compared with the previous raid by the Siren on various camps, the force used is much stronger.
You have to know that our current port area is not the same as it was back then, but the battle with the Sirens is still at the same level as before, so it can be clearly said that we are indeed facing an unprecedented battle now." Zhenhai nodded.
Qin Ge nodded, "I feel the same way, but I think this is a normal phenomenon in the Siren core waters. But if Helena thinks so, then we must move forward steadily step by step.
We have plenty of time, but we have no tolerance for error, so if you have any suggestions or comments, please feel free to let me know in the future."
"Of course, I will tell the commander everything I know, and I will protect the commander well. This time, we will definitely win." Helena said firmly.
"Um."
At the same time, in another sea area.
"Do you feel it? Although our overall strength has been strengthened, the Siren power on the opposite side is not weak either. It seems that the sea area in the core area is not as easy to break through as we imagined." Bismarck said to the leaders of several camps in front of him.
"Indeed, and this is without the dispatch of the arbitrator. Now our progress is not as smooth as at the beginning." Enterprise nodded.
"So what do you think about the next step, Bismarck?" Musashi asked.
"I think it's because of our previous strategic mistakes. We previously believed that no matter how strong the mass-produced units in the Siren Sea were, they were only one level higher than those in the periphery. We didn't expect that they would be improved so much at once, causing our current attack speed to slow down.
I think we should focus our efforts now. During the patrol and exploration of the U-boats, we found a unique Siren Fortress at position E in the deep sea. That Siren Fortress is connected to several Siren strongholds around it. "
Bismarck pointed to a location on the nautical chart and said, "Currently, the consumption of our front-line attack is very high. If we want to maintain the speed of the attack, we must have good logistical supplies and front-line positions.
So I think our goal now should be to capture the Siren Fortress, use the Siren Fortress as a foundation, conduct a large-scale cleanup, and use the Siren Fortress as our base for a period of time.
Use this as a stepping stone to keep moving forward into deeper depths.”
"Are we going to build an outpost now? Isn't it too early?" Veneto asked.
Bismarck looked at the sea chart and shook his head, "It's not too early. It's so difficult to break through the first line of defense. Just think about it, if we continue to go deeper, how much resistance will we encounter?
Only with sufficient logistical support can we continue to move forward. Otherwise, if the Sirens launch a surprise attack and trap us in the sea, how long can the supplies we bring last?
Although the possibility of this happening is relatively small, it cannot be ruled out. And you have also realized that this is not a battle that can be ended immediately, it will take a long time!"
"I agree. The current situation seems to be like this. We must be prepared to fight a decisive battle," said Richelieu.
"I agree. Victory or failure depends on this. We must proceed step by step and not make any mistakes at any stage!" Enterprise nodded.
"agree!"
