Chapter 568: Sweeping the Remnants of the Enemy
Looking at the distant Silicon Charm Fleet, Shen Chengwen and Jackson both had an indescribable feeling in their hearts.
Although when Yang Yi proposed to plot against Curia, neither Shen Chengwen nor Jackson objected, but the two did not expect that Yang Yi would release Curia and let him take away the entire Silicon Charm fleet. If they had known, the two would have been conservative on the issue of plotting against Curia. In any case, Kuria is the king of war, and he is a descendant of Kutum, if he just dealt with Yang Yi in order to survive and was not really rebelled, then letting him go now must be in endless trouble. It's just that Shen Chengwen and Jackson have nothing to say about luring Kutum out, so they have no reason to object to letting Kutum go.
Luckily, Otis didn't know.
In fact, Otis didn't know that Curia was still alive, because when she arrived, Shen Chengwen had already locked Curia in the space storage.
If Otis is let know, there will definitely be trouble.
As for the sudden withdrawal of the Silicon Charm fleet, it is not a strange thing. After Kutum is finished, even without Commander Kuria, the Silicon Fleet will leave Mars. In addition, Yang Yi had previously made arrangements for Yuyang to send the other nine Shadow Ships out to monitor the Silicon Charm Fleet.
When the Silicon Charm fleet withdrew, the "Star Sea" also entered the atmosphere of Mars and flew to the southern military camp.
According to Yang Yi's arrangement, after returning to the barracks, Shen Chengwen set off with the special investigation team. They have a special mission, that is, to find and kill the generals and war kings who carry the "seeds" according to the information provided by Kuria, and eliminate the biggest threat.
As for the battle on Mars, it will definitely have to go on for a while.
Before leading the Silicon Charm fleet to retreat, Kuria gave the Silicon Charm Legion one last order to land on Beacon Mars: hold on and wait for reinforcements.
Of course, this order from Kuria didn't really make much sense.
After the withdrawal of the Silicon Fleet. The Silicon Charm Legion that landed on Beacon Mars has lost the ability to escape, because surrender will not end well, so the only choice for tens of millions of Silicon Charm warriors is to fight to the death. Even if there is little hope, it is much better than surrendering and dying.
In fact, in the past Greenwich Wars, almost all the desperate Silicon Charm armies will fight to the death.
Apparently. Destroying tens of millions of Silicon Phantom warriors from thousands of legions is definitely not an easy task, and even if there is no suspense, it will take a lot of time.
After Shen Chengwen set off, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to make arrangements.
This time, Yang Yi did not let Otis charge into battle with the female warrior guards, but let the human legions in the barracks take turns to attack.
In Yang Yi's view, this is also an opportunity to train the human army.
You know, face to face with the Silicon Charm army, even those from the colonization system. You can also gain valuable practical experience.
For most legions, what is most lacking is actual combat experience and the confidence gained through defeating a powerful enemy.
As for the reinforcements sent by the Third War Zone, Yang Yi did not point fingers, but just reported the situation and asked Fang Zhicheng to arrange combat operations by himself.
Without unified command and fleet support, the Silicon Charm army is not terrible.
According to Yuyang's arrangement. The fifty heavy guns in the southern barracks were the first to fire, and they shelled for three days and three nights. until all ammo is depleted.
Of course, just the ammunition stored in the barracks was consumed.
On the second day of the retreat of the Silicon Charm Fleet, the Yu family's transport fleet came to Beacon Mars and sent war materials and a large amount of heavy equipment.
It is precisely because of this that Yuyang did not immediately arrange for the legion to attack.
Very simple. The southern military camp is full of legions from the colonial system, and these legions have not received the heavy weapons promised by the Yu family before this, so they cannot conduct relevant training. After obtaining heavy weapons, it will definitely take some time for the officers and soldiers to master how to use them and practice the relevant tactics. If you let these legions go into battle after getting heavy weapons. Not only will it fail to realize the value of heavy weapons, but it will also lead to unpredictable consequences. If you suffer heavy casualties for this, it will be more than worth the loss. Anyway, the enemy has already retreated, and it is only a matter of time before the remnants of the enemy are destroyed, so naturally there is no reason to bear unnecessary casualties and losses.
The three-day artillery bombardment has actually crushed the fighting spirit of the Silicon Charm Legion.
According to the report submitted by Yuyang, the three-day artillery bombardment wiped out at least one million Silicon Charm soldiers, caused hundreds of Silicon Charm Legions to lose their combat effectiveness, and dealt a heavy blow to the morale of other Silicon Charm Legions, such as the Silicon Charm Legion deployed near the barracks.
According to what the probe captured, many of the Silicon Phantom Legions were scattered under the shelling.
If it can, Yuyang will drag it out for a few days. In any case, using heavy artillery against the enemy can not only kill and injure a large number of Silicon Phantom warriors, but also worry about casualties. As for ammunition, after the route is opened and the Yu family's transport fleet can arrive smoothly, there is no need to worry.
It's just that Yang Yi didn't give Yuyang more time, and he couldn't drag it out.
Quite simply, in the three-day artillery bombardment, the morale of the Silicon Charm army was on the verge of collapse, not to mention the Silicon Charm Legion deployed near the barracks, even those far away from the barracks and without being shelled, began to collapse. That's thousands of legions, tens of millions of Silicon Warriors. It is simply impossible to destroy so many enemies by shelling alone. If these enemies, even if only a small half of them are allowed to spread out and spread across the southern continent, it will take more time, more energy, and even greater losses to destroy them all in the future.
In fact, such things were extremely common in past wars.
After the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the Human Federation spent a lot of time sweeping away the planets that had been occupied by the Silicon Charm army, and spent a lot of resources to do so. In some colonized galaxies, the battle to encircle and suppress the Silicon Phantom Warriors has lasted for hundreds of years.
In order to completely annihilate the Silicon Charm army, Yuyang formulated a detailed battle plan.
In fact, it takes time to make a plan.
According to his deployment, all the legions in the southern military camp will participate in the operation, and the fifty most experienced and combat-effective legions will be responsible for the frontal attack, by quickly interspersing and dividing the Silicon Charm army, and then destroying them one by one, so as to control the scale of the battle and ensure that each attack can completely annihilate the divided Silicon Charm Legion. The other fifty legions are responsible for assisting, that is, using the spaceship sent by the Jade family to reach the periphery of the battlefield, and complete the defense of the Silicon Charm army by establishing a defensive line to prevent the Silicon Charm army from breaking through. The remaining dozens of legions serve as reserves, such as replacing the legions fighting on the front line, or participating in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Silicon Phantom Legion.
It must be admitted that for Yuyang, this is also a good opportunity to exercise.
is also to train Yuyang, Yang Yi did not interfere, and handed over all the command work to Yuyang, and only when there were problems that Yuyang could not solve, he would come forward.
In fact, Yang Yi didn't take the battle of encircling and annihilating the Silicon Charm army seriously at all.
By the time Yuyang ordered the attack, Shen Chengwen had already completed his mission, killing all the enemies carrying the seeds and reclaiming all the seeds.
With this biggest threat eliminated, the Silicon Charm army has nothing to fear.
Don't forget, the environment of Beacon Mars is already extremely harsh, and there are no valuable resources, and its only value is to serve as a space node for the shipping route, and it is the entire Wolf Smoke Galaxy. In other words, as long as the Wolf Smoke Galaxy is controlled, even if there is no Mars, you can still use this route across the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. As for whether there are any remaining silicon warriors on Mars, it doesn't matter at all.
In Yang Yi's view, it is a good thing that the battle to encircle and suppress the Silicon Charm army continues for a period of time.
In addition to the aforementioned can, it can also give Yang Yi a reason to stay in Beacon Mars, in addition to allowing those legions that lack actual combat experience to be trained.
Although he had not received an order from the military department for the time being, Yang Yi knew very well that after the retreat of the Silicon Charm army, the military department would let him return to his home galaxy sooner or later. Yang Yi was not afraid of being plotted again, but it was not time to go back, because the Yu family needed more time to unite the autonomous governments of more colonial systems. If Yang Yi returned to his home galaxy at this time, he would be only a triumphant commander at most. After a while, when the Yu family united the autonomous governments of most of the colonial systems, Yang Yi would no longer be an ordinary commander. For this reason, Yu Linglong also sent a special message, asking Yang Yi to try to stay in Beacon Mars for a while, and not to return to the home galaxy in a hurry.
As long as the battle on Beacon Mars is still ongoing, Yang Yi has every reason to stay on Beacon Mars.
Since he is the commander of the human legion, he naturally can't leave the battlefield in advance. You know, this rule has been passed down for thousands of years in the human legions.
When Yuyang planned and commanded the battle to encircle and annihilate the Silicon Charm army, Yang Yi was with Jackson almost all the time.
Because Yuyang was responsible for commanding the legion in battle, Jackson handed over all the reserves. It seems that Jackson is supporting Yuyang. It's just that he doesn't have that much energy, because there are more important things that he needs to deal with, and only he can handle them.
That is, Jackson had to go to the Northern Alpha system with a group of men.
Although under Yang Yi, Shen Chengwen has also been to the North Alpha Galaxy, as well as some officers and soldiers in the Special Investigation Brigade, they are all regular soldiers, and they are inextricably linked to the home galaxy. Sending them to the North Alpha Galaxy, Yang Yi was not good at explaining to the Third Theater Command. Jackson is different, although they have already joined the special reconnaissance team, but they are not closely related to the third theater of operations. What's more, Jackson was a former interstellar mercenary, knew some secret routes, and knew who to turn to for help, and his previous actions in the Champagne system also proved that he was resilient enough to carry out important missions alone.
Yang Yi gave Jackson the task of going to the Northern Alpha System to establish a secret communication channel with Curia.
In Yang Yi's words, Curia will not be used in the short term, but as long as the Human Legion reacts back and crosses the Greenwich meteorite belt, Curia is a trump card, so it is necessary to keep in touch with him, and it must be absolutely reliable in order to play a decisive role at a critical moment.
The only one who can take on this task is Jackson. (To be continued.) )
