Dozens of people working together are obviously much more efficient than one person.

After Yang Yi put it forward, everyone discussed it on your sentence and my word, and put forward many methods, to be precise, ideas, some of which were simply whimsical. It's just that Yang Yi didn't interject or intervene. No matter who it was, no matter how ridiculous the idea was, Yang Yi listened patiently. What is needed now is an idea, and Yang Yi doesn't care what kind of idea it is.

Anyway, it's better to have ideas than not to have ideas.

While Yang Yi and the others were discussing, the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade who had gone out to reconnoiter also rushed back one after another.

In order to be on the safe side, the main thing is not to be discovered by the enemy, especially before the Lei Ling clan's legion landed, so Yang Yi did not let the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance team use communication equipment, but returned in time after completing the reconnaissance mission and reported the situation found outside in person.

It's just that most of the officers and men of the special investigation brigade did not bring back useful information.

The main reason is that the slag star is too big, and the large landing ships of the Lei Ling clan that arrived will only land in one place, so most of the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance team have run away in vain.

Not all, of course.

A few hours later, two officers and soldiers of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade who had gone to the "Weeping Basin" brought back the first piece of useful information.

It was indeed the large landing ships of the Lei Ling Clan, three in total, and all of them went to the Weeping Basin. It's just that the officers and soldiers of the two special reconnaissance teams did not enter the weeping basin, and after the landing ship arrived, they did not venture to approach according to Yang Yi's instructions, so they could only conclude that what arrived were three large landing ships that could carry dozens of regiments, or tens of millions of tons of equipment and cargo, and they were all fully loaded.

The load can be determined by the propulsion power of the landing ship at the time of landing.

It's just that three large landing ships carried the corps. Or cargo, the two officers and soldiers did not figure it out.

One is that they are too far away, and the other is that they are in a hurry to come back to report the situation. Of course, there are definitely ground forces, it's just that the size of the ground forces is not clear.

Yang Yi and the others waited for a few more hours, after the last two officers and soldiers of the special investigation team returned. to obtain accurate information.

The two officers and soldiers also went to the weeping basin, but on the other side of the basin.

The so-called basin is actually a huge crater, and it is thought to have been made. Thousands of years ago, in order to quickly exploit buried mineral deposits, and without the current technology, the most brutal method was adopted, which was to have a large and scrapped transport ship ram at a very fast speed, blasting a large enough hole in the ground. This exposes the veins that are buried in the ground. It's just that at that time, because the technology was extremely backward and the environment on the slag star was too harsh, it was very difficult to even open-pit mining. Over the centuries, at least 1,000 miners have lost their lives here, and the crater has its current name.

It's just that this crater is extremely huge, with a radius of more than a thousand kilometers. It's not wrong to say it's a basin.

Unlike the two officers and soldiers who came back earlier, these two men not only rushed to the weeping basin in advance. He also made a prediction when the three large landing ships appeared, that is, he concluded that the three large landing ships would land in the Weeping Basin, so they entered in advance and laid an ambush in the basin.

Get closer and see better.

Moreover, after the landing of three large landing ships. The two officers and soldiers could not leave immediately, so they could only hide.

According to the observation of the two officers and men, the three landing ships brought ground troops, but the scale was not very large, at most the strength of three corps. And it is not the main army with strong combat effectiveness, because these three legions are mainly infantry and do not have much heavy equipment. More importantly, the three landing ships brought a large amount of engineering equipment, mainly heavy equipment, and brought a lot of materials needed for infrastructure construction.

After the landing, the three corps that arrived with them first deployed the defensive line.

It's just that it was not deployed in strict accordance with combat standards, but a large number of warning points were set up on the periphery of the basin, constituting a sparse line of defense.

Obviously, this is the standard procedure for corps operations.

At the same time as the corps deployed the defensive line, three landing ships began to unload.

It was precisely in this way that the two officers and men learned that the landing ship had sent a large amount of engineering equipment and materials.

In addition, there is a large number of engineering personnel.

It's just that the two officers and soldiers are not too sure about this. They were able to distinguish between engineering equipment and weaponry, but they did not know much about the engineers and warriors of the Lei Ling Clan, and could only judge by their behavior, that is, the engineers were not sent to the periphery to carry out guard duties.

In order to avoid detection, two officers and soldiers slipped out while the enemy was unloading.

They were very lucky, because the officers and soldiers of the Lei Ling Clan who were in charge of guarding were very lax, and they didn't even think that there were two human soldiers lurking in the basin.

According to the judgment of the two officers and soldiers, the soldiers of the Lei Ling Clan are very strong, and the officers all have small Origin Energy Converters, even the soldiers who are not equipped with small Origin Energy Converters have some kind of extremely advanced Origin Energy Equipment, because when they go out, the officers and soldiers of the Lei Ling Clan do not wear protective clothing.

To this, Otis gave the answer.

That is, the officers and soldiers of the Lei Ling clan are equipped with a kind of protective equipment driven by original energy, which can create an energy barrier, so there is no need for protective clothing. This kind of equipment is not advanced, but the Human Federation has not used it on a large scale, and there is similar equipment in the Legion of the Weaver Clan.

Because the enemy had already deployed a defensive line, the two officers and men were delayed for some time when they were withdrawn.

During the briefing, the two officers and soldiers also marked their findings on the map, mainly the defensive line deployed by the Lei Ling Legion on the periphery of the basin.

It is a ring of defense that encloses the entire basin.

Obviously, the Thundering Clan Legion has used the Weeping Basin as a foothold, and is preparing to build an advance base here, and it is a huge forward base. Otherwise, there would be no need to enclose the entire basin at all. If it's just a normal forward base, it's more desirable to have a defensive line in the basin. In the case of limited troops, the defensive line can be shortened to increase the strength of the defense, so as to deal more effectively with the possibility of a surprise attack.

Of course, perhaps the enemy did not expect a surprise attack at all.

After the two officers and soldiers finished reporting the situation, Yang Yi let them go to rest.

"Obviously, the conditions for a war with the Thunderling Clan Legion have been met." Yang Yi glanced at the officers and soldiers around him and said, "Judging from the current situation, the enemy intends to build an advance base here, or a large forward base, which can accommodate at least a hundred legions. ”

Everyone listened attentively, but no one spoke.

"For us, there are two options." Yang Yi paused slightly, waiting for the other people's minds to turn around before he continued, "First, launch an attack immediately. The enemy has only three legions, and they are ordinary legions, and they do not carry heavy equipment, even if all the officers are soldiers, we are the same, and we have the advantage of troops, even if the combat effectiveness is slightly worse, we can take the enemy by surprise with a surprise attack. If the action goes well, we can annihilate all three legions. Even if the situation is not as ideal as we imagined, we can destroy the three landing ships, surround the three Thunderling Clans, and force the enemy to send other legions to the rescue. ”

"What about the other option?" Shen Cheng asked.

Yang Yi pressed his hand and said, "It's just that even if the most ideal situation occurs, it will be difficult for us to achieve a more brilliant victory." If the situation is not ideal, we will be attacked from the back. Obviously, with the forces in our hands, we certainly don't have much to do to deal with the attacks on the periphery when besieging the three legions in the basin. If we are attacked at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve the victory we want. ”

Shen Cheng let out a sigh when he heard this, and he also thought of this.

"Another option is to stand still and wait until the enemy builds a forward base or even sends more legions, and then look for an opportunity to attack."

"Is the odds better?" Yuyang was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask.

In fact, this is also the problem of the vast majority of staff officers.

If even three Lei Ling clan legions can't be eaten, then after the enemy increases the army, the hope of victory will be even more slim, and there will be nothing to fight.

"What is our purpose?"

Yuyang was slightly stunned, still looking at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.

"Our purpose is not to eliminate how many Lei Ling Clan legions there are, nor to achieve much victory, but to drag down the Lei Ling Clan's fleet, so that the Wanluo War Emperor will not be able to rush to deal with the Weaver Clan fleet commanded by the Star Soul Empress in time, so that the Weaver Clan fleet can reach the North Fourth Region smoothly and be able to relieve the siege of the Human Federation in time. As long as we succeed, even if we suffer a crushing defeat here, or even annihilate our entire army, it will be worth dying. ”

Without waiting for Yang Yi to finish speaking, Yuyang nodded slightly, he began to forget this.

"Obviously, we're not here to seek a decisive battle with the Thunderling Legion. More importantly, the way to achieve the goal is certainly not just a decisive battle, or even a decisive one. Anyway, we got here first, and we knew the planet better than the enemy before the Thunderling Legion arrived. All we have to do is to hold back the enemy, and the most effective way is to use our advantage to fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy. ”

"Guerrilla warfare?" Otis frowned, very puzzled.

"To put it simply, it's up to us to decide when to fight, where to fight, how big to fight, and when to end the fight. As long as we can do these things, we will be able to seize the initiative on the battlefield and lead the enemy so that the enemy will not be able to completely destroy us, nor will he be able to get rid of us, let alone withdraw smoothly. As long as we can contain a few legions, we will be considered successful. ”

Otis thought about it carefully, and nodded thoughtfully, probably understanding what Yang Yi meant.

"Of course, that's just my assumption. Although we already knew that the enemy had gone to the Weeping Plains and was building there, we did not have enough battlefield information, and we did not know what the enemy would do next. As for how to fight, it's not too late to make a decision when we know more about the enemy. ”

No one objected, at least no one could come up with a better solution. (To be continued.) )
