Chapter 70: The Raid Plan
After listening to Zhang Xian's words, all the commanders of the other assault brigades of the First Group Army of the Earth War Knife turned their eyes to Yang Yi, waiting for him, the commander-in-chief, to judge next.
"Tell me, when will the Maltese attack?" Yang Yi looked at the holographic surveillance projection area and asked the image of the Maltese troop assembly area.
"It's hard to say, judging from the situation of the other party's troop buildup, it is estimated that it is the most recently." Wang Jun, the commander of the First Assault Brigade, touched his head with his hand and said uncertainly.
"Judging from the attack on our airspace by the opponent's pentagonal spacecraft in the past two days, the other side may be the first to launch an air battle." Zhang Xian, commander of the Air Assault Brigade, pointed to the Maltese spacecraft in the hologram and said.
"The other side seems to have been prepared, let's prepare and deploy for the other party's sudden attack to ensure the safety of the area controlled by us." The commander of the 3rd Assault Brigade, Felsides, stared at the holographic screen with both heads and said.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment, no one spoke again, and it seemed that the other people were of much the same opinion as these men, and the Maltese seemed to have finished their deployment, and the attack had begun just recently.
"Do you have any suggestions? I have an immature idea, how about you take a look? Yang Yi touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"What thoughts?" Everyone asked in unison.
"How about launching a surprise attack on the Maltese forces while they are still on a foothold? And the operation will start tonight, the first assault brigade will be the main force of the charge, and the other brigades and air assault brigades will follow up in an all-round way.
Otherwise, when the other side is all ready, it will be difficult for us to take advantage of the situation when the forces of the two sides are comparable, what do you think? Yang Yi touched his chin and continued.
"Raid...... Lao Yang's method is good, we can turn passive into active, I agree with this proposal. Wang Jun's eyes lit up, and he said after a little groaning.
"Surprise attack, although there are some risks, but it is not a good way, but what if the other party is prepared in advance and we are ambushed?" The commander of the Fifth Assault Brigade, an African with six tiger heads, Mopti Baburu, stood up, and the six tiger mouths were brushed together and spoke at the same time, and said angrily.
"yes, what if you get ambushed by a local place?" The others asked in unison, and even Han Weiwei, who had always been full of confidence in Yang Yi, also cast a worried look in her beautiful eyes.
"Everyone's fears are not unreasonable, and I judge it this way, judging from the past wars with the Maltese, the human race has always been the weakest in the hearts of the Maltese, in other words, it is precisely because the Maltese have always underestimated the enemy that we won the last battle. Now that the Maltese have begun to gather heavy forces against us, it shows that the Maltese do not dare to underestimate our strength now.
But it does not mean that the Maltese look down on human beings, in their bones, human beings are still an inferior race in the hearts of Maltese, belonging to the weak side, and the contempt is still engraved in their bones. I don't think we would dare to take the initiative to attack when they were overwhelmed by their troops.
If we succeed in this campaign, we can take the opportunity to advance in depth, control more cities and industrial bases, gain more strategic depth, and seize the initiative strategically. It will form a psychological pressure on the Maltese people and push the subsequent process of the war in the Chinese theater to develop on a track that is favorable to our side.
At the same time, in order to prevent the risk of being ambushed by a small number of troops, all the units of the First Army of the Earth War Knife Army coordinated in the air and ground, and all attacked in order to defeat the assembled forces of the Maltese in World War I. Yang Yi called up the holographic military map and pointed to the area where the Maltese gathered on the map and analyzed.
The monitoring hall fell silent in an instant, and everyone fell silent, obviously assessing Yang Yi's judgment in their hearts.
Yang Yi looked at all the commanders unhurriedly, and did not mean to urge.
Obviously, he also knew very well that anyone here was a commander commanding 20,000 or 30,000 people. This kind of risky combat action can only be a real combat knife if everyone deliberates carefully and discusses together to form a joint force.
Otherwise, if someone is suspicious in the center of the raid operation and does not implement the plan thoroughly, the blade of this war knife may form a gap due to a mistake in one piece, and not only will it not be able to cut the enemy, but it will be broken by the enemy.
"Commander-in-chief, give the order." After a few more minutes of silence, Zhang Xian spoke first.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, you give the order!" Others also say.
After more than ten minutes of thinking and evaluation, it was obvious that everyone thought that Yang Yi's plan was feasible and unanimously agreed.
"Since you don't have any opinions on this raid plan, I'll start deploying the operation."
In the following time, Yang Yi began to deploy for the location of the Maltese troops and how to launch a surprise attack, arranged in detail the actions responsible for each combat unit, and set the time for the assault to be launched at one o'clock in the morning.
At the same time, he made a report and asked for instructions to General Liu Hong, commander of the theater.
After listening to the report, General Liu Hong, commander of the theater, and Gao Hui, chief of staff, felt that although Yang Yi's plan was a little bold, it was highly feasible, and they were very much in favor of Yang Yi's surprise attack plan, and quickly approved it.
They also began to mobilize nearly 50,000 air-ground forces from other directions to march in this direction overnight.
Prepare to replenish the current area as soon as the First Legion of Earth War Knife launches an assault and control these recovered cities. Prevent the fear of weakness behind the Earth War Knife to ensure that there is a way back in case of an emergency.
An hour later, the plans for the raid had been deployed, and the commanders returned to their respective units to inform them of their readiness for action.
There was a hint of excitement in everyone's hearts, after all, this was the first time since the Maltese invaded the earth that the human side had taken the initiative to launch an attack on the Maltese on such a scale.
Yang Yi also had a trace of excitement in his heart, thinking about the attack he was about to launch, and he couldn't help but be a little ready to fight. This battle was a plan he had held in his heart for a long time, after all, the Earth had never won a decent battle in the invasion of the red dwarf galaxy in the constellation Centauri.
Although the last battle crushed the Maltese army of more than 15,000 people, it was all provoked by the Maltese on their own initiative, and it was not the result of an attack by the human side.
In fact, the war between Centauri and the Earth is, in the final analysis, a war of aggression and counter-aggression, and to put it bluntly, the strong bully the weak.
If there is also morality or interstellar law in the universe, the Maltese's war against the earth is neither moral nor interstellar.
But the reality is that what Yang Yi has seen so far is the law of survival of the food chain. In this food chain, the strong are at the top of the food chain, controlling the power of life and death for the weak, and the Maltese have neither morality nor mercy for mankind.
Since the strong will not preach morality to the weak, even if there is the so-called interstellar law that all galaxies abide by, the rules will definitely not be formulated for the civilization of weak galaxies, and naturally they will not serve the civilization of weak galaxies.
In a word, the status of the earth is won by oneself, not by others. If you want to win the respect of the Maltese, you have to fight a few beautiful battles to let the Maltese know how powerful humans are, so that they can be qualified to be equal to the Maltese and even gain a foothold in the galaxy.
A minute later.
Yang Yi walked out of the video surveillance hall and boarded the ground armored command vehicle that had been waiting here at the entrance of the hall.
In another half an hour, the First Army of the Earth War Knife will be fully mobilized and begin to attack the Maltese assembly area five hundred kilometers away.
This battle is related to the reputation of the First Army of the Earth War Knife, and it is also closely linked to the fate of everyone.
