Greenwich Line, "forward" post.

Although this is an outpost built by the Human Legion thousands of years ago and the central outpost of the Third War Zone in the region, this outpost was originally an asteroid with a diameter of about 1,000 kilometers. At that time, in order to help the Human Legion hold the vital Greenwich Line, the Hidden Spirits used the most advanced technology to transport the asteroid from more than ten light-years away, and assisted the Human Legion in transforming it into a space fortress. It's just that in the millennium since, the largest and most well-equipped fortress on the Greenwich Line, has never lived up to its worthiness. After barely holding on for hundreds of years, it was eventually transformed into a frontier outpost.

It is called renovation, but in fact, it is just the mothballing of some defense facilities to reduce the size of the garrison and reduce the daily maintenance expenses.

During the Fifth Greenwich War, nearly 1,000 legions were stationed here at its peak, and the total strength of the fort was close to 15 million. However, after the transformation into a forward post, the number of officers and soldiers stationed here never exceeded 1 million, and in some cases it was less than 500,000. It's just that before the outbreak of the war, the Human Federation began to mobilize, and the Third War Zone sent additional troops to it in time. When the Silicon Charm army crossed the Greenwich Line and entered the North Fourth District, the 1.5 million officers and men of the assistant "Advance" post did not flinch, and activated the mothballed defenses as quickly as possible. Although the outpost was attacked by thousands of Silicon Phantom Legions after this, and even lost some of its surface positions, the defenders did not give up until reinforcements from the Weaver Clan arrived.

In fact, the "Forward" post was also one of the few posts on the Greenwich Line that did not fall.

When Yang Yi and the others arrived, the repair work of the outpost was still in progress. Although they repelled the strong enemies surrounding the outpost and helped the defenders eliminate the enemies who invaded the outpost, the reinforcements of the Weaver Clan did not help the defenders repair the outpost, mainly because the fortress was built with the technology provided by the Hidden Spirits. And the Weavers don't know much about the Hidden Spirits' technology. In addition, this post belonged to the 3rd theater of operations.

The reinforcements of the Weaver Clan are only temporarily stationed here, and have no plans to stay permanently.

It was precisely like this that the reinforcements of the Weaver Clan did not enter the outpost, but only stayed near the outpost, waiting for the human legion commanded by Yang Yi to arrive.

Although I know why the Star Soul Empress refuses to help the Third War Zone repair the "Forward" outpost. But Yang Yi is a soldier, or a soldier in the third war zone, so naturally he can't stay out of the matter. Upon arriving, he did not immediately go to meet the commander of the Weaver reinforcements, but to meet the commander of the outpost.

Major General Yan Yikuan, a general like Yang Yi, was promoted not long ago.

Of course, unlike Yang Yi, Yan Yikuan has served in the army for decades. Starting from a grassroots officer, he was promoted step by step to become a general.

No matter how you look at it, he is an admirable military man.

A few months earlier, when the defenders of the other posts had either been killed or fled, he had not only not fled, but had risen to the occasion after the death of the regimental commander and organized the officers and men of the post. Use limited weaponry to fight for months against an invading enemy. Without him, the outpost would have fallen long ago. It was in the battles of the guards post that they showed themselves well. He was promoted from colonel to major general and became the commander of the outpost.

This position is not big or small.

If it's just an ordinary outpost, then the post commander is nothing. However, the "Forward" post is the largest in the direction of Greenwich and one of the few that has not been seriously damaged. Therefore, Yan Yikuan's identity as the commander of the outpost is not simple. It can be said that in the short term, whether it is the Human Legion or the Weaver reinforcements, the military operations launched on the Greenwich Line will be based on this outpost. The assistance and support of the outpost garrison are needed in terms of the change of guard of the corps, logistics support, and treatment of the wounded. The Star Soul Empress was high up, so naturally she would not take a small outpost commander in her eyes, but Yang Yi couldn't do it.

Seeing Yan Yikuan, Yang Yi believed those rumors about him.

Although the Human Federation mobilized for war in advance, and the Third War Zone also sent reinforcements in time, this war came too suddenly, and the Silicon Charm army broke through the Greenwich Line without warning and appeared behind the Human Legion. The rear road was cut off by the enemy, not to mention the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, and even the senior officers may not be able to hold it steady. At that time, at the various posts on the Greenwich Line, it was very good that the officers and men were able to stay at their posts and not escape from the battle. The same was true at the "forward" outpost, where it was rumored that the commander of the regiment at that time was frightened half to death, and not only did not organize the officers and men, but also spread rumors that shook the morale of the troops. It was also at this time that Yan Yikuan stepped forward and first organized the officers and soldiers under his command. Soon after, the corps commander from the Third Theater Command was killed in an accident, making Yan Yikuan the highest-ranking officer in the outpost. As for whether the legion commander died in an accident, I'm afraid only Yan Yikuan knows, at least it is rumored that the death of the legion commander is directly related to him.

He was a real soldier, and you could tell from his eyes that he had been through too many tests.

Yang Yi was looking at Yan Yikuan, and Yan Yikuan was also looking at him.

"It seems that the rumors are not false, and it is really a hero who is a teenager."

"General Yan has won the award, I just climbed the big tree, and I was lucky to get some credit, in front of General Yan, I am just a junior."

Yan Yikuan nodded slightly, and then asked Yang Yi to sit down.

"I heard that General Yan is a cheerful person, so I won't be wordy." After sitting down, Yang Yicai said, "Within a few days, the human legions under my command will arrive one after another. As expected, the Weaver reinforcements have already made a battle plan to enter the Northern Alpha system. According to the order issued by the military headquarters, I will command the legions under my command to assist the Weaver reinforcements to launch an attack. That said, I won't stay here for long. It's just that the legions that have arrived one after another need to be stationed in a place, and they also need the necessary logistical support, and they have to worry about General Yan. ”

"It is my job to provide logistical support for the combat troops, and General Yang does not need to worry."

Seeing that Yan Yikuan answered affirmatively, Yang Yi also relieved himself.

"It's just that I don't know how many legions there are under General Yang, and how many legions he plans to take to the battle?" Yan Yikuan paused for a moment before saying, "General Yang, don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to find out the details of General Yang, just to arrange the barracks needed to accept the legion." ”

"Not much, two hundred legions at most, and only a few of them will follow me, maybe only twenty."

Yan Yikuan was slightly stunned, looking very surprised.

"The specific situation is still unclear, after all, the situation is tense now, and the military department has no extra legions to send to me, so I can only go to various colonial systems to recruit officers and soldiers and form a legion on my own. Although some of these legions followed me to participate in the defense of Mars, almost none of the officers and soldiers from the colony system had actual combat experience, and letting them go to the North Alpha system was tantamount to sending them to their deaths. Of course, my mission is only to assist the reinforcements of the Weavers, not the main force, so I don't need to bring too many legions. The most important thing is to see whether the logistics support is better. If the logistics are unsustainable, it is useless to bring more legions to the battle. ”

"General Yang, do you really think you can attack the Northern Alpha System?"

When Yan Yikuan said this, Yang Yi looked up at him.

"That's right, the Weaver Clan's reinforcements are indeed very strong. In just one day, they were able to crush the Silicon Charm army besieging the outpost, and then assisted us in eliminating the enemy who landed. As far as I know, there was only one Starweaver Legion landing post to assist us in our battle. Yan Yikuan let out a long sigh and said, "The problem is that entering the North Alpha System is not a reconquest, and even if the reinforcements of the Weaver Clan are very strong, they may not be able to successfully cross the Greenwich Meteorite Belt. Even if they could, they would encounter stubborn resistance from the enemy after entering the North Alpha system. Thousands of years ago, we gathered all the forces of the Galactic Alliance, and the Human Federation completed its war mobilization, but after attacking the North Alpha System, we failed to achieve a real victory. Now, with only the little reinforcements from the Weaver Clan and the two hundred legions commanded by General Yang, can they defeat the powerful Silicon Charm Alliance? I don't doubt General Yang's courage and courage, but if General Yang really thinks that he can win the final victory on his own, then General Yang only has courage and guts. ”

When Yan Yikuan said these words, Yang Yi did not refute, but listened carefully.

"General Yang, I know that this is an order issued by the military department, and we have no right to act without authorization, but I also ask General Yang to think twice about sending troops."

"General Yan means ......"

"Either way, it never hurts to keep an extra hand."

Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and then nodded again, indicating that he understood what Yan Yikuan meant, but he didn't rush to express his position.

"The Galactic Alliance has passed a war resolution, and all civilizations, including the Lei Ling Clan, will immediately enter a state of war and mobilize for war. As expected, reinforcements from the Lei Ling clan would arrive soon. Waiting for reinforcements from other civilizations to arrive before launching a counterattack will not only give you a better chance of victory, but will also reduce combat casualties. In any case, General Yang should not be in trade at this time. ”

"The problem is that the orders of the military department are clear."

"General Yang is the general of the unified army and has the right to make decisions according to the actual situation."

Yang Yi pondered for a while before nodding slightly and saying, "General Yan is right, you should indeed make long-term plans. However, the regiment under my command has already been deployed, and it is impossible to return it to its original station. Besides, doing so is tantamount to directly violating the orders issued by the military headquarters. ”

"It's a trifle, the outpost has enough space for the legion commanded by General Yang."

After Yan Yikuan said this, Yang Yi nodded and agreed. In fact, Yang Yi said so much, what he was waiting for was Yan Yikuan's words. (To be continued.) )
