As the supreme commander of the South China Sea Fleet, Yuan Xi had a very thorough view of the entire battle situation.
If they choose to attack by force, they will definitely be able to capture this port city at a certain price.
However, that's not necessary.
The Europa Fleet scattered in the outer waters is now restrained by the Gaul Fleet and Fran's Fleet, while the escort fleet in the offshore area is launched by the Fuso Fleet's Thunder Fleet.
However, this state cannot be maintained forever.
If they choose to occupy this port city, then the Europa Fleet at sea will definitely come back and start a battle to regain it.
At that time, they occupying a port will appear a little passive in the face of the Europa fleet's offensive.
Rather than that, it would be better to divide this operation into two offensives.
In this wave, it is enough to destroy the supplies on the opposite side first, and at the same time suppress the strength of the port garrison.
As for this port city, let the other side continue to occupy it first. Anyway, the food supplies are gone now. In less than a month, the Europa Sea Fleet, which has run out of supplies, will have to go to self-destruction.
When the time comes, launch a second wave of offensive, easily wipe out the opponent's fleet, and then take down this port city.
With such thoughts in mind, Yuan Xi, who had sufficient discretion over this maritime war, gave a rather straightforward order to retreat after seeing that the battle was almost over.
The voluntary retreat of the South China Sea Fleet can be said to have temporarily brought this port attack to an end.
However, looking back at the port that was almost in ruins, it was clear that no one could rest in peace this night.
Early the next morning, when it was dawn, Lieutenant Colonel Europa, who had hardly slept all night, stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, listening to the loss report of the soldier in front of him, his entire face was completely ashen.
From the beginning to the end, it has been bad news, and there is nothing good!
The destruction of a large number of buildings and the casualties of soldiers are not mentioned for the time being. The warehouses storing grain and storing ammunition in the port area are almost completely destroyed. This is the most terrible thing!
This batch of supplies was just delivered from the rear at the beginning of the month!
According to estimates, it is enough to support the consumption of their border fleet and garrison troops for a quarter.
But now, it was completely destroyed. This wave of losses can be said to be heavy!
At this moment, I don't know if it was because he didn't sleep all night, but Lieutenant Colonel Europa only felt that his brain was blank, almost losing his ability to think.
He rubbed his ashen face vigorously, and after taking a deep breath, the Lieutenant Colonel Europa waved his hand to signal the soldiers who had finished the report to retreat.
The moment the office door was closed, the guards who were still standing outside the door clearly heard a violent smashing sound coming from inside.
Subconsciously exchanged glances with the guards standing on both sides of the door, the three of them obviously looked at each other in blank dismay.
But at the same time, I know more or less in my heart.
In this port fortress, it was not a secret that their lieutenant colonel applied to be transferred to the central government.
It's just that after such an incident, it became clear that it was a dead end.
Even their majesty did not punish severely, it is thankful.
As for whether there is any chance of promotion in the future?
Unless it is a huge achievement, otherwise, it is better not to think about it.
Originally a bright official career, but was cut off abruptly, whoever changed, I am afraid that the mentality will explode.
In the following period of time, all the personal soldiers showed a considerable tacit understanding, and they were all cautious in doing things. If at this juncture, because of some boring small mistakes, they were attacked by their lieutenant colonel He was too wronged to vent his anger.
At the same time, on the other side, although this wave of night raids failed to capture the port, it bombarded the supply warehouse at the opposite port and cut off the supplies on the opposite side, which can be said to have achieved considerable results.
Therefore, there is naturally nothing to be dissatisfied with the foreign combined fleet that is busy helping them cover.
Not to mention the plan to attack the port this time is already very difficult.
Unlike the Europa Fleet and Offshore Escort Fleet who only need to entangle the periphery, night is not suitable for fleet operations. Coupled with the existence of murloc troops, attacking the port at night requires taking huge risks.
Under this premise, the South China Sea ship?It is not easy to destroy Europa's supplies under such risks and pressures.
That's right, this is what Yuan Xi said to the foreign camp, and it was also the plan he told the other side at the beginning.
He didn't tell the opposite party that the warehouses in Europa Port that were stockpiling supplies were blown up by their goblin airships with aerial bombs.
Anyway, at three o'clock in the morning, the lights were dark, and everyone couldn't see clearly. At most, they could hear the violent explosion sound and the flames produced by the explosion, but what could that mean?
Even if they may have guessed in their hearts, but they haven't seen it with their own eyes after all, who can confirm it?
Now turn the angle of view to the deep sea camp, the side of the murloc troops.
Zach, who confirmed the latest information and the night attack, was obviously concentrating. After a little thought, he only heard him speak in a deep voice
"This is the other party's temptation. We have been showing weakness and preserving our strength for a while, and the other party is probably already suspicious. Therefore, he is testing us, is there any hole in the hole?"
Having said that, Zach breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke again
"Destroying the supplies stockpiled in the port of Europa is equivalent to cutting off our retreat. At that time, even if we play any powerful cards that exceed his expectations, it will be useless. As long as he can delay time, we who have no supplies , will usher in self-destruction sooner or later.¡±
"Then what are you going to do next?"
Lieutenant Colonel Swordfish looked at Zach worriedly and asked.
To be honest, he was more worried about Zach's state than the next battle situation.
Now he is completely like a different person.
In this regard, I only heard Zach speak again unhurriedly
"Follow the original plan."
During the speech, Zach sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then continued to say
"Even if the other party vaguely guessed our purpose, it's useless, because they don't know when we will do it. As for the issue of supplies"
Having said that, Zach's eyes clearly flashed a cold killing intent.
"As long as you don't let the opponent delay the time, once you fight, use that fight to give them a fatal blow!!"
