Chapter 468: Evacuate calmly
When the Empress fighter plane piloted by Lin Feng disappeared from view, Yang Yi turned around and returned to the battleship.
It was not only Yang Yi who was worried about the ruthlessness of Emperor Wanluo, but almost everyone. After Yang Yi proposed to evacuate immediately, no one objected, and everyone supported it.
It's just that the retreat must also be planned, and it can't be left all at once.
Quite simply, the Wanluo War Emperor sent a hundred legions over, and he planned to build a fortress-level military camp here, obviously attaching great importance to the Slag Star. Although they suffered a crushing defeat and suffered heavy losses, after Yang Yi and the others withdrew, the Wanluo War Emperor might not give up the Slag Star.
Obviously, you can't just walk away.
The first arrangement Yang Yi made was to ask Shen Chengwen to assist Carlson to artificially create a major earthquake according to the geological structure of the Weeping Plains and completely destroy the military camp that had not yet been fully built. Of course, after the withdrawal of the human legion, it was just a good deployment in advance.
The problem is that just destroying the barracks won't stop the Thunderling Legion from stationing into Slag Star again.
Although Shen Chengwen proposed that it was much better to destroy the Slag Star anyway than to let the Lei Ling Clan use the Slag Nature, Yang Yi felt that it was too reckless to do so, and no one knew what would happen next. If the Human Federation suffers a crushing defeat in the North Fourth Region, then the Slag Star is the forward base for guarding the Central Region, and can even be used as a temporary foothold for humans to escape, which has great strategic value. Besides, if the Weaver Clan fleet led by the Star Soul Empress defeats the Lei Ling Clan fleet led by the Wanluo War Emperor and successfully opens the door to the Northern Region, then after that, the main army of the Weaver Clan will pass through here, and the Slag Star can also be used as a springboard to enter the Northern Fourth Region, set up an advance base here, and establish a solid logistics supply line.
Thus. Whether or not to destroy the Slag Star depends on whether the Weaver Clan fleet wins or not.
For this reason, Yang Yi decided to let Lin Feng take the lead in returning to the Weaver Clan's fleet.
In fact, only Lin Feng was able to return to the Weaver Clan fleet alone, because only the Empress fighter piloted by Lin Feng could do long-distance space jumps.
Because there are twenty human legions to be evacuated, and a large number of wounded. and as many as tens of thousands of prisoners of war, so Yang Yi could only leave all the battleships brought by Lin Feng. With only ten Shadow Ships, it is impossible to take all the personnel away. Although Yang Yi looked down on those Lei Ling prisoners of war, he couldn't be executed on the spot. In any case, they are just ordinary soldiers, and they are fighting against the human legions.
Yang Yi not only did not abandon those Lei Ling prisoners of war, but also gave them the humane treatment they deserved, including providing timely treatment for the wounded prisoners of war.
Actually, Yang Yi is also very clear. Someday in the future, these prisoners of war will surely be of great value.
By the time Yang Yi returned to the battleship that served as the flagship, the evacuation was in full swing.
The first to be cared for were the wounded of the Human Legion, especially the seriously wounded. Fortunately, the warships of the Vegae Clan have complete medical equipment, and as long as there is still one breath left, they can fully recover, even if they are broken in battle, they can also be reborn through limb regeneration and cloning technology. Arguably. Only those who have suffered severe brain injuries will not be able to heal, and even if they are cured, they will not be able to regain their combat capability.
It made Shen Chengwen and Otis and others find it difficult to understand. But in Yang Yi's opinion, it is absolutely necessary that the wounded of the Lei Ling clan have also been treated in time, and some seriously injured have been given priority care. Of course, Yang Yi also made it very clear that this is not to win people's hearts, but it must be done. Because the Lei Ling Clan is not the real enemy, treating the Lei Ling Clan's prisoners of war well can reflect the justice of the Human Legion.
Of course, Shen Chengwen and Otis don't see it that way.
In Otis's view, treating the wounded of the Lei Ling Clan is a waste of precious medical resources, and it can even be said that it is a matter of maintenance. Because after these wounded recover, they may not be able to coexist peacefully with the Human Federation, as long as they are free, they will become enemies of the Human Federation again. As for justice, who cares? Not to mention that the Lei Ling Clan would not publicize this battle that had suffered a crushing defeat, even the Weaver Clan might not be able to spread it around. Quite simply, at this time, no one will take the initiative to undermine the unity and stability of the Galactic Alliance, even if the current situation of unity is only superficial. Since it can't be preached everywhere, who knew that the Human Legion would treat prisoners of war well?
Relatively speaking, Shen Chengwen understands Yang Yi better, so he sees the long-term.
In his opinion, Yang Yi's move is indeed not to win people's hearts, let alone to promote justice, but to have a longer-term plan. To put it simply, after this battle, even if you don't turn your face with the Lei Ling Clan, you will never be able to become an ally with the Lei Ling Clan. If the Human Federation loses this war, even if it does not suffer a catastrophe, then the relationship with the Lei Ling Clan can barely be maintained, after all, a weak Human Federation does not pose much threat to the Lei Ling Clan. On the contrary, if the Human Federation persevered, developed and grew in the war, and became an unstoppable force in the Galactic Alliance, then the relationship with the Lei Ling Clan would come to an end.
At that time, there will probably be a war between the Human Federation and the Thundering Clan, and it will be an all-out war, and it may even be a war that will change the current pattern of the Galactic Alliance.
Obviously, even if the Human Federation grows in this war and has the support of the Weaver Clan, it may not be able to defeat the Thundering Clan. At that time, Yang Yi will definitely need chips in his hands that can make the Wanluo War Emperor have some scruples, and these prisoners of war of the Lei Ling clan are very valuable.
Taking a step back, even if the Wanluo War Emperor would not compromise with the Human Federation because of tens of thousands of prisoners of war, then in the battle with the Lei Ling Clan, the Human Legion would inevitably suffer defeat, and there would be human officers and soldiers who would become prisoners of war of the Lei Ling Clan. If there is a need to exchange prisoners of war, then these tens of thousands of Lei Ling prisoners of war will have a use value, at least at that time, to save the lives of those human officers and soldiers who were captured in battle.
Although Yang Yi did not say it explicitly, Shen Chengwen believed that he must have such a plan.
It's just that Shen Chengwen felt that it was completely unnecessary to provide treatment for those injured Lei Ling Clan officers and soldiers, after all, tens of thousands of Lei Ling Clan officers and soldiers were captured, even if there were a few thousand, it would not have much impact. In any case, medical resources are very limited, so we can't afford to waste them.
Of course, even if they were not very satisfied with Yang Yi's decision, Shen Chengwen and Otis did not oppose it face-to-face, let alone take Yang Yi's order as a deaf ear. It's just that when treating those injured officers and soldiers of the Lei Ling Clan, they are more or less shrunk, and they are not as active as rescuing the wounded of the Human Legion.
Rescuing and settling the wounded is only the first step, and there is still much to be done before evacuation.
For example, collect weapons and equipment that can be used, especially those advanced weapons and equipment that the Human Federation has not yet mastered and cannot manufacture.
For this reason, Yang Yi specially arranged for Yuyang to be in charge of this matter.
Obviously, Yuyang is also an ideal candidate.
Quite simply, the advanced technology obtained from the weapons and equipment of the Lei Ling Clan Legion will first be used to improve the strength of the Yu family, that is, it will be transferred to Yu Linglong, so that the Yu family can use these technologies to produce more advanced weapons and equipment, so as to arm the human army.
As for which equipment is valuable and which is not, Yuyang must know.
Of course, weapons and equipment that can be used directly, especially heavy weapons, will be directly transferred to the legion, and Yuyang has also arranged for someone to be in charge of this matter.
You know, this is the heavy weapon of the main army of the Lei Ling Clan.
Not to mention anything else, it's just that the kind of heavy artillery used to bombard the command center of the barracks before is an advanced weapon that the Human Federation cannot manufacture, and even the relevant technology has not been fully mastered. If it can be imitated, it will be great. Even if they can't, these captured heavy guns can arm several legions. With these heavy artillery, in the next battle, the human legions at least do not have to worry about not having heavy weapons against the enemy.
Of course, it will take some time to gather weapons and equipment.
At the same time, Yang Yi asked the staff officers of the headquarters to organize the various regiments, mainly to let the officers and soldiers of the regiment board the evacuated warships one after another.
According to Yang Yi's arrangement, the soldiers who can fight still follow the Shadow Ship and are under the command of their legion, while those who are injured and unable to fight will evacuate with the battleship, and after meeting with the Weaver Clan's fleet, they will decide whether to return to their legion according to their recovery.
It was obviously not an easy task to organize the evacuation of the officers and men of the twenty regiments.
Fortunately, after this resounding victory, Yang Yi's prestige in the legion reached an unsurpassed level. From the commander of the legion to the ordinary soldiers, without exception, Yang Yi is regarded as a commander worthy of lifelong follow, and there will be no doubts about the orders given by Yang Yi. Besides, there are so many officers and soldiers of the Weaver Clan present, and most of them are female soldiers, so we can't lose face.
In less than four hours, the evacuation was ready.
By the time Carlson and the officers and men of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade who assisted him arrived, the officers and men of the twenty regiments had already boarded the ship and the battlefield had been cleared.
Ten Shadow Ships took off first, and the others took to the skies in turn.
Although Yang Yi felt that he should be on that flagship and be with the big army, Otis and Shen Chengwen both insisted that he should be on the "Xinghai", and the "Xinghai" is also a flagship. Yang Yi didn't insist, there was no need to make Otis feel uncomfortable for this little thing.
Looking at the ever-getting smaller slag star, Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly.
When he came here, he only thought that he would fight the Thunder Ling Clan's legions here, but he didn't expect such a major victory or such a quick end of the battle. As for leaving here with twenty legions of officers and soldiers, Yang Yi had no extravagant hopes.
You must know that before this, from Yang Yi downwards, almost everyone was mentally prepared to die in battle.
It's nice to be alive, but it also means that there are more enemies ahead, and even more fierce battles await them in the near future.
A victory doesn't change anything, it doesn't prove anything, so can you win all battles? (To be continued.) )
