617.Battle of Heidelberg
Knowing that the battle situation on the planet Heidelberg was tight, Ishtar immediately ordered all the fleets to rush to the rescue: "Be sure to break through the enemy's obstacles and rush to the aid of the planet Heidelberg!" Those who fail to meet the specified time will be punished according to military law! ”
This is already a death order, and it is clear that he cannot hope that the strategically important planet of Heidelberg will be lost!
It is precisely because Ista does not want to lose the planet Heidelberg in his heart that he does not express obvious support for Wang Xu's plan of "closing the door and beating the dog".
Seriously, regardless of whether this plan is good or not, at least from the perspective of the overall strategic appeal, if we can destroy more of the enemy's living forces in this battle, this will inevitably lead to quite good results for the next military operations.
But he said that he would let the enemy go and occupy the surface of the planet. It's good if you can turn it back, but what if you can't? Heidelberg was successfully subdued by the enemy, isn't this a slap in the face of the Tyranid Empire?
But having said that, it stood at the time when Ishtar was urging the armies to step up reinforcements. Carolina arrived, and she followed Wang Xu's thoughts just now, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I think Wang Xu's idea of 'closing the door and beating the dog' is very good. Don't you think about it at all? ”
After Ista finished giving the order, he took a short rest, sat back in his place, and thought silently for a moment before he spoke: "Wang Xu and I have explained in detail this battle plan of his. Theoretically, I agree that this is a very bold and good idea. But we're fighting a war! The generals of the Haiji civilization are not all fools, how can it be as we wish? ”
In fact, to put it bluntly here, it is still a question of feasibility in Estah's opinion. How so? The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is still left unchecked by the enemy's ascendancy6, and once the enemy's organization is completed, it may no longer be possible to annihilate the enemy. And in the event that Heidelberg cannot be supported, will it be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy?
Ista was clear about what he was talking about, and Carolina thought about it seriously. However, she didn't answer directly, but first looked at the combat star map and looked at the signal signs of each unit on it.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, where has the vanguard we sent now?" ”
Ishtar didn't speak, opened the star map, zoomed in on the relevant star field, and naturally went to the location of the vanguard fleet.
Carolina looked at the fleet of the vanguard above, and then looked at the battle situation on the planet Heidelberg, thought carefully for a while, changed her serious expression, and reported to Ishta: "Your Majesty, I still insist that Wang Xu's idea is feasible!" Let more enemy forces enter the planet Heidelberg! ”
Ishtar looked at Carolina interestingly, wondering what she was thinking about it now. I believe that this wise woman also knows her own character. But he still wants to talk about this, a problem that he has already identified, and he is still acting so seriously?
"Well, if you insist like this, tell me your reasons!" Ishtar said, "See what kind of reasons you can use to convince me?" ”
Carolina sorted out her thoughts and gave a few explanations:
1. From the strategic point of view of the empire, if as many enemies as possible can be eliminated through this battle, it will definitely be of considerable help to the strategic offensive that the Tylen Empire will carry out in the future!
2. From a tactical point of view, although the Haiji civilization and the multi-force coalition forces have a unified command on the surface, there is still no reasonable compatibility with the command of the military system at the bottom. Because no one wants to turn into cannon fodder for the commander!
3. Allowing the enemy's troops to enter the planet Heidelberg does not mean that the enemy will occupy the planet Heidelberg. After all, Warfield's "god" level troops are extremely elite troops in the empire, and many of them are veterans from the Civil War. It's not that it's easy to beat.
4. As you can see from the star map just now, General Les's "Iron Fist" troops, as well as General Green's personal fleet, and more support troops, are on their way to help Heidelberg, although they are said to have encountered resistance and interception, but with the arrival of the vanguard of the main force, this should soon be able to get through.
5. Here is a psychological tactic to make the enemy think that the Imperial defenders in Heidelberg are retreating, giving the Haiji civilization and other troops a false impression that they want to win. Reach the heart of the paralyzed enemy, and then take advantage of their arrogance, directly hit the head!
These points can be regarded as talking points, and they are indeed a reason. Ishtar nodded in understanding, but he still asked a question: "How feasible is it?" The reasons are very good, and they all get to the point. But the commander of the Hajj civilization, who doesn't seem to be a stupid man, what if he takes advantage of the retreat of Warfield's forces and launches a decisive attack on him? ”
"General Warfield's troops, but the elite aces of the Empire's 'god' level, are mostly composed of veterans who have fought for many years. It's not going to be so easy to beat! Carolina still insisted: "We should believe in General Warfield!" ”
Of course, Carolina also said a little here: "Shrinking the area of defense is also conducive to the concentration of troops, which can delay the enemy for a longer time, and is more likely to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements!" ”
This last sentence may be regarded as what impressed Ista right?
Because for the current Ishtar, defending the planet Heidelberg is the choice, and he doesn't care how many people die. After all, how can there be immortals in war?
As mentioned above, if Ishtar, which pursues pragmatism, cannot be highly feasible, it will lead to military defeat. In this way, the gains outweigh the losses! But as long as he said that he could defend against the enemy's attack, this was in line with his thoughts.
Ishtar didn't want to lose such a strategically important planet, so when he heard that it could indirectly improve the defensive advantage of the defenders, he began to relent: "Okay, even if what you say makes sense, I've already been moved." ”
Soon after, he ordered the adjutant: "Re-send the order to Wang Xu, and tell him that I agree with his plan." But there is one condition here: if the planet Heidelberg is lost because of the plan he proposed, let him be mentally prepared! ”
What is this psychological preparation, it should be needless to say, right? It must be court-martialed, and it may even be shot directly!
