Although Yuyang suggested taking advantage of the victory to pursue, even if he could not rely on ten legions to annihilate the hundreds of thousands of Silicon Phantom soldiers in the landing field, he could still catch the enemy by surprise, hit the enemy's morale and fighting spirit, and disrupt the enemy's deployment, so as to gain more time for the legion to rest and recuperate. In addition, if you want to send troops to the Eastern Continent, you have to inflict heavy damage on the enemy before that, and buy more time, so it is necessary to counterattack the landing field. However, Yang Yi did not take Yuyang's suggestion, but asked the ten legions to withdraw immediately, and enter the bunker, ready to bomb early. As for sending troops to the Eastern Continent, Yang Yi didn't think about it at all, at least not at that time.

At first, Yuyang didn't quite understand.

Abandoning the Eastern Continent is not a problem, it has long been in Yang Yi's plan. That is, the human legion on Mars will be able to hold two military camps at most, and it will be a matter of time before the other two military camps are abandoned. Because Fang Zhicheng is more active, Yang Yi is more likely to abandon the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent.

The point is, why give up the opportunity to expand the gains?

You must know that in the previous battle, Yang Yi and the others only killed dozens of generals and captured the war king, but did not destroy many silicon charm warriors. Although there is no commander of the War King, the hundreds of thousands of Silicon Charm Warriors are headless flies, and there is not much threat to the Human Legion, but as long as a War King is sent over, and at most dozens of generals, these hundreds of thousands of Silicon Charm Warriors can be reorganized.

In Yuyang's view, he should take this opportunity to expand the scale of the counterattack and strive to destroy the enemy's living forces as much as possible before the enemy regroups.

It's just that Yuyang soon found out. Compared with Yang Yi, he is too far behind.

After Yang Yi gave the order, the ten legions did not retreat immediately. Rather, it was delayed for some time. It was not that the officers and men of the ten regiments did not obey the command, but that the battle had just ended, the officers and men were scattered on the battlefield, collecting the spoils of war, and even if the officers were to act immediately, it would take some time to regroup the troops. In addition, the battlefield is so large that it is impossible for the dispersed officers and soldiers to immediately return to their units.

Although it was only delayed for less than two hours. But these two hours were extremely deadly.

That is, ten legions have just left the battlefield and have not yet returned to the barracks. The bombardment of the Silicon Charm fleet is coming.

This time, it was not the small warships that entered the atmosphere of Mars that dropped the bombs, but the large ones that were hovering in orbit and were too bulky to enter the atmosphere.

Dropped bombs. It's incredibly powerful.

Arguably. It was not a bomb that was dropped, but a meteorite, and it would be similar to say that it was an asteroid.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of boulders with a mass of more than 10,000 tons fell down. Although all of them were intercepted by anti-aircraft fire and blown up before they hit the ground, the fragments of the boulder were still powerful. Not to mention ordinary officers and soldiers, even if they are soldiers, if they are hit, they will be crippled even if they don't die.

The bombing came too suddenly. After the command sounded the alarm, those ten regiments had less than five minutes.

Five minutes. What can you do?

Even the soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade had to go all out to get back to the barracks within five minutes, and ordinary officers and soldiers couldn't do it at all.

As a result, under the bombardment of the "meteorite rain", ten regiments suffered heavy casualties.

Although Yang Yi asked Shen Chengwen and Otis to dispatch at the first time, and took the special investigation team and the female samurai guard to pick them up, it was still too late when Shen Chengwen and Otis arrived. In the face of tens of thousands of comrades who were either dead or wounded, all they could do was to do their best to return the wounded to the barracks. In order to allow the wounded to be treated in time, Shen Chengwen had to order the body of the fallen soldier to be temporarily abandoned.

At this time, the medical equipment of the Weaver Clan on the Shadow Ship played a vital role.

It can be said that without these advanced medical equipment, few of the officers and men of these ten regiments would have survived, because even those who were lucky enough to survive were seriously injured.

Even so, the casualties exceeded all expectations.

When he got the report sent by Yuyang, Yang Yi's hands were trembling.

In just one bombardment, and only a few minutes before and after, more than 30,000 officers and men of the 10 regiments were killed, and nearly 10,000 officers and men were temporarily incapacitated because they were too seriously wounded. Even more than 10,000 other officers and men were slightly wounded, and only a few officers were unscathed.

You know, in the previous battles, the total number of officers and soldiers killed and wounded was less than a thousand.

Ten legions, even if the formation is still there, has completely lost its combat effectiveness. Even if they wait until the seriously injured return, they will not be able to return to their original form.

At this time, the one who regrets it the most is Yuyang.

When Yang Yi gave the order, if he didn't insist on his opinion, but immediately issued and executed the order, he would not have been delayed so much, and maybe the ten legions would have been able to return to the barracks in time. As long as you enter the bunker, even if it is bombed, there will be no such huge casualties.

It's just that now is not the time to regret it.

The bombardment continued, and as before, it was still the large warships that dropped bombs outside the atmosphere, rocks with a mass of more than 10,000 tons, or even 100,000 tons, to be exact. If the bombing continues, it will be possible to flood the barracks with meteorites, if not destroy them.

According to Yang Yi's orders, Yuyang issued an order to the ten regiments on the defense line, telling all officers and soldiers to stay in bunkers and not to go out without orders.

At the same time, Yang Yi sent out ten Shadow Ships.

Although the barracks are protected by an energy barrier and are not afraid of the enemy's energy weapons, in the face of meteorites falling from the sky, the energy barrier does not make much sense. The barracks were protected by anti-aircraft weapons, and the methods were not very effective, i.e. anti-aircraft fire could only break up the falling meteorites, but could not intercept all the fragments. Some of the larger fragments are still a great threat, even capable of destroying buildings in barracks.

Anti-aircraft fire alone is clearly not enough.

According to Yang Yi's arrangement, the ten Shadow Ships were responsible for intercepting the meteorites dropped by the enemy ships at high altitude, to be precise, changing the direction of the meteorite's fall so that it would fall outside the Ten Thousand Beast Wasteland.

The problem is that there are only ten Shadow Ships, and there are countless meteorites that have fallen from the sky.

Where did the Silicon Fleet get so many meteorites?

Yang Yi was very puzzled, but he couldn't think about it at this time.

Fortunately, the bombing could not last forever.

About four hours later, the bombing ended.

Although the ten Shadow Ships were in full swing and the anti-aircraft fire in the barracks was firing at full speed, the barracks had already become unrecognizable during the bombardment, which lasted for four hours, with craters thrown by meteorites everywhere and almost all the buildings on the ground destroyed.

It can be said that if this bombardment continues for another four hours, I am afraid that all the buildings exposed on the ground in the barracks will be completely erased.

Fortunately, the main facilities of the barracks are underground, and they are hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters, from the surface. There are also fortified domes on top of some of the key facilities. That is, these facilities, which were hidden underground, were not affected much, at least not badly.

As for the officers and soldiers in the barracks, they were all hidden in underground bunkers.

The casualties were not very large, but those defensive facilities that could only be deployed on the ground, such as anti-aircraft positions and artillery positions, were no longer usable and had to be rebuilt.

If it wasn't a big problem before, it would have been a few days at most to rebuild these surface facilities. The problem is that the battle has already begun, and the enemy has attacked. It is certainly not easy to rebuild the surface infrastructure under the rain of bullets, and the enemy has found a way to keep an eye on the situation in the barracks, focusing on targets that pose a great threat, such as anti-aircraft and artillery positions. Rebuilding the surface infrastructure in such a situation is not only extremely dangerous, but it will certainly take much longer than usual.

Fortunately, Yang Yi has one of the best engineering commanders.

Don't forget, Carlsen fought in the Fifth Greenwich War, was responsible for building many barracks and forts, and fought on the front lines.

Prior to this, Carlson had anticipated this situation and specifically proposed to Yang Yi that the engineering units in various regiments, to be precise, officers and men with engineering experience, should be gathered together to form a special engineering unit, so that they could be effectively dispatched and arranged after the battle began. Yang Yi met Carlson's request and gave him enough authority to let Carlson personally command the engineering force, and all engineering equipment and materials were also dispatched by him. To put it simply, as long as it is related to engineering, Carlson is in charge.

What Yang Yi has to do is just tell Carlson that those facilities must be repaired first, and which ones can be temporarily suspended.

After the bombardment, Yang Yi immediately called Jackson over and asked him to send the ten legions that were going to be sent to strengthen the outer defense line, replace the ten legions that had suffered heavy losses in the bombing, and arrange for one of his men to take over the outer defense line of the barracks.

Of course, the selection was ready-made, and it was Buck who Jackson sent.

In addition, Yang Yi also asked Jackson to select five of the poorest trained and weakest fighters from the reserve team to Carlson, who was responsible for assisting Carlson in rebuilding the infrastructure in the barracks. Although Carlson has an engineering force, it is severely understaffed, at least for now, the better.

Next, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to gather the staff officers to discuss the next operational deployment.

According to the previous situation, after the bombing, the landing force of the Silicon Charm army will arrive. Twenty and one hundred legions came before, so Yang Yi concluded that the next Silicon Charm Legion must be more than a hundred, at least two hundred, maybe three hundred. Whether it is 200 or 300, it means that the barracks will be attacked more fiercely, and it also means that the next battle will be more fierce.

The point is, after the Silicon Charm army adjusted its bombing tactics, the previous defensive deployment was obviously useless.

If nothing else, if the Silicon Phantom Legion attacks during the bombardment, then the human legion holding the defensive line will not be able to enter the battle and will not be able to play a role.

Defensive tactics must be adjusted, and a workable plan must be developed as soon as possible.

It's just that Yang Yi made a mistake, he thought of the enemy too simply, thinking that the Silicon Charm army would still attack according to the previous routine. (To be continued.) )
