Yang Yi had no choice, and so did Fang Zhicheng.

Although he was extremely angry at James's stupidity, the barracks had fallen, and Fang Zhicheng could only accept this fact that no one wanted to accept. Now there are only two military camps left, and not only does Yang Yi need Fang Zhicheng's support, but Fang Zhicheng also needs Yang Yi's assistance. Compared with James and Huo Huade, at least Fang Zhicheng did not come to deal with the matter, but hoped to fight a big victory here and avenge those comrades who died.

After Yang Yi proposed to reorganize the officers and soldiers who had withdrawn from the eastern and western barracks and form a new corps to replenish the reserves, Fang Zhicheng immediately agreed and offered to take charge of the matter. Yang Yi was also very happy, and also made it clear that the newly built reserve would first meet the defensive deployment of the northern military camp, and even promised that Fang Zhicheng would arrange for officers from the third theater to command the new reserve.

As for whether those officers and soldiers from other theaters are willing to accept Fang Zhicheng's command, it is not a question at all. In Yang Yi's words, it is a time of war, he is the commander-in-chief of the Beacon Mars defense operation, and disobeying the orders he gave is betrayal, and dealing with it according to military law is the death penalty. Besides, James has been killed, and the other two generals in the Eastern Military Camp are also controlled by Yang Yi, and Huo Huade will definitely not dare to compare with Yang Yi in command in order to clear the responsibility for the defeat. Without the support of senior generals, the officers of the grassroots units would not have the ability to stand on their own feet. In addition, as long as these soldiers from other theaters still have a little sense of responsibility and want to leave Mars alive, they will not create conflicts at this time because of who commands them. To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter whose orders you listen to, the key is whether you can defeat a powerful enemy, whether you can hold Mars, whether you can live to the end of the battle, and whether you can return to your family safely. Don't say that Fang Zhicheng is a lieutenant general in the third theater of operations. And in the great retreat, he made a name for himself. Even if it is a little-known general, as long as he can lead them to victory, as long as he can give them a little hope, it is much better than dying in this ghost place.

Of course, after negotiating with Fang Zhicheng, Yang Yi symbolically solicited the opinions of Huo Huade and other generals.

Just as he expected. No one objected, and several generals honestly surrendered their commands, and personally ordered their officers to obey the commander-in-chief's command. It's not that they are willing to delegate power, but they have a request for Yang Yi, that is, after losing the guarded barracks, Yang Yi can relieve them of their authority at any time with poor command, and can even punish them without reporting to the military department according to military law in wartime. Even if Yang Yi doesn't have the guts, he just needs to say a few more words in the combat report submitted to the military department. They will be held accountable for the defeat. At that time, even if he can leave Mars alive, he will not be a human face after returning to his home galaxy.

You know, in the Federation of Humans, a defeated general will not receive sympathy from anyone.

For thousands of years, the Human Federation had only dead generals, not defeated generals. To put it simply, people do not ask ordinary soldiers about their responsibilities because of defeat. This is because the officers and men at the grassroots level obey the orders of the generals, and only the generals who command the operations really bear the responsibility.

Subsequently. Yang Yi asked Fang Zhicheng to send someone to pick up the officers and soldiers from the Eastern and Western military camps.

In fact, for Yang Yi, this is also a good thing.

The key is that it will definitely take a lot of effort to rectify these remnants of the defeated generals, and it is not Yang Yi's southern military camp that is lacking troops now, but Fang Zhicheng's northern military camp. If these remnants are defeated, they will be left behind. Not only does Yang Yi need to spend a lot of energy on reorganizing it, but when the battle starts again, if the Silicon Charm army focuses on attacking the northern military camp, he will still have to send reserves to support. In this case, it is better to hand over these remnants of the defeated army to Fang Zhicheng. Let Fang Zhicheng spend his energy to strengthen the defense of the northern military camp. Even if you have to mobilize reserves at that time, you don't have to go all out, at least you don't need to use too many reserves.

It's just that Fang Zhicheng is not stupid.

When Yang Yi proposed to let him reorganize the remnants of the defeated army that had been withdrawn, he guessed Yang Yi's intentions, and knew that Yang Yi was pushing the boat down the river, so he put forward a request, that is, the northern military camp not only needs more troops, but also needs long-range firepower that can effectively hit the enemy.

Yang Yi couldn't refuse this request made by Fang Zhicheng.

Although unlike other theaters, the reinforcements of the third theater brought enough war materials, but not much heavy equipment, especially powerful heavy artillery. Among the fifty legions commanded by Fang Zhicheng, even heavy tanks were less than 1,000, which was only one-fifth of the standard establishment. In Fang Zhicheng's words, this is not bad, in the other legions of the third theater of operations, there is not even a single heavy tank.

Yang Yi was not stingy, and gave Fang Zhicheng fifty heavy guns, and promised to provide one thousand heavy tanks.

In fact, Yang Yi is not generous, but without these heavy weapons, even if Fang Zhicheng goes all out, even if the officers and soldiers of the Third War Zone fight to the death, they may not be able to hold the northern military camp. In addition, the enemy has already captured the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, discovered the weakness of the Human Legion, and even knows that the Southern Continent is the core of the Human Legion, so when attacking again, the enemy is likely to attack the Northern Continent. If there were not enough heavy weapons, especially heavy artillery and heavy tanks, the northern military camp would certainly not be able to hold under the siege of the enemy. Obviously, if the northern military camp was captured by the enemy, even if Yang Yi had enough heavy weapons, he would not be able to hold the southern military camp.

On the same day, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to send fifty heavy cannons over.

As for the 1,000 tanks that were promised, they will have to wait a few days to be delivered. The main thing is that these tanks have to be drawn from various regiments, which means that the formation of the regiments has to be adjusted. If only the main battle tanks of several legions were transferred to Fang Zhicheng, it would inevitably make these legions lose their combat effectiveness. What's more, all of the ones with heavy tanks were the main army, and the ones that Jackson brought with him as a reserve didn't have heavy tanks. Although the Jade family promised to provide more equipment and supplies, Beacon Mars has been blocked by the Silicon Charm Fleet, and even fast transport ships cannot reach it safely. In other words, it is impossible to get the support of the Yu family in the short term.

Fortunately, Fang Zhicheng was extremely satisfied with the fifty heavy guns he received, and also expressed his understanding of Yang Yi's difficulties.

With Fang Zhicheng's support, strengthening the defensive deployment of the northern military camp is only the first step.

In fact, by this time, Yang Yi had already realized that the enemy might not immediately attack the Nanfeng military camp, at least not the southern military camp. After capturing the Eastern and Western camps, the enemy will spend some time mopping up, building more camps in both places, and then sending in more legions. Only after adequate preparations will be made that the offensive will be launched again. Thus, when the enemy will attack will depend on the progress of preparations. To put it bluntly, having gained a foothold, the enemy will definitely adjust his tactics. It's just that the enemy won't give Yang Yi too much time to them, and when the enemy attacks again, there is no room for switching.

Clearly, strengthening our defenses remains a vital matter, and it will take time to determine how far we can go.

To this end, Yang Yi arranged a special mission for the Special Investigation Brigade and the Female Samurai Guard, that is, to go to the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent respectively, use every opportunity to attack and weaken the enemy, create trouble for the enemy, and do his best to make the enemy spend more time preparing for the war. As for how to fight, Yang Yi did not clearly stipulate it, it was decided by Shen Chengwen and Otis according to the actual situation, that is, improvisation.

For Shen Chengwen, this is not a problem.

Don't forget, the special investigation brigade was originally a special force in the third theater of operations, and it is the best at this kind of irregular combat, and the officers and men of the special investigation brigade have rich experience in actual combat. Besides, Shen Chengwen has always been witty, and he commands the battle behind enemy lines, and Yang Yi doesn't need to worry about it at all.

As for Otis, this is clearly a problem.

Although the female samurai guards can also be regarded as the special forces of the Weaver clan, both in terms of status and strength, they are above the special reconnaissance team, but compared with the special investigation team, the biggest problem of the female samurai guard is the lack of experience, even Otis has not participated in many battles. For thousands of years, the Female Samurai Guard has not left the Mother Planet, let alone gone to the rear of the enemy on a special mission like a human warrior. In addition, all female warriors, including Otis, lacked not only experience, but also tactical thinking. If Otis were to command the battle, she would choose to fight harder, even though she knew she would be outnumbered.

To this end, Yang Yi sent Justin to assist Otis.

Of course, Yang Yi also clearly told Otis that Justin was his spokesperson, and the battle was in charge of the female warrior guards, and it was up to Justin to decide how to fight.

Although Otis was obviously not satisfied with this arrangement, Yang Yi had no other way.

If he could, he would personally take the female samurai guard to the Western Continent to fight the enemy. It's a pity that there are more and more important things that Yang Yi needs to deal with. Besides, Yang Yi is the commander-in-chief, and it is impossible to do everything himself, let alone leave the headquarters to fight behind enemy lines.

The more important thing is to strengthen the defense of the barracks.

The fall of the Eastern and Western barracks was not only due to the mistakes in command, but also directly related to the failure of the defense of the barracks. Especially in the Western military camps, Huo Huade did not make serious mistakes, and the key reason for the fall of the military camps was that the defense construction was not completed.

It can be said that if the defense of the barracks could have been completed before the battle began, then the Western barracks would not have been captured by the enemy so quickly. Not to mention Huo Huade, if the enemy attacked the northern military camp, Fang Zhicheng might not be able to command the reinforcements from the third war zone to hold the military camp.

In addition, the enemy has already occupied the eastern and western military camps, and has mastered the defensive deployment of the military camps, so he knows how to attack the other two military camps. For this reason, it is necessary to make adjustments to the defense deployment, and it must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. (To be continued.) )
