Chapter 864: Race Against Time

According to Yang Yi's request, Yuyang formulated a battle plan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's just that, due to time constraints, the content of this plan is not very detailed. In order to reduce the problems caused by mistakes in the command link and combat operations, Yuyang can only make a fuss about the task arrangement. In this regard, Yang Yi was also helpless, after all, commanding thousands of legions to fight was by no means a casual joke.

The main attack is the Silicon Charm army commanded by the Dragon Empress, with a total of more than 8,000 legions.

However, before the Dragon Empress appeared on the stage, the Human Expeditionary Force had to be responsible for clearing the obstacles on the route of the march and creating conditions for the main attack force to enter the battle. To put it simply, it is to uproot the stronghold near the target star system and clean up the Silicon Ghost Battleship that has been found on the outskirts of the star system. If necessary, enter the star system and attack enemy strongholds, eliminating enemies near several major planets.

Obviously, the only one who can carry out such a surprise mission is the human expeditionary force, to be precise, the main army of the expeditionary force.

In fact, purely measured by the combat effectiveness of the legion, the main legion of the human expeditionary force is already an absolute assistant, even surpassing the main legion of the Weaver Clan. Quite simply, the officers and soldiers of the Human Expeditionary Force are all soldiers, and the officers and soldiers of the main army all have space fighters. Whether it is on the space battlefield or on the ground battlefield, these legions composed of soldiers and have space fighters have super combat effectiveness. It can even be said that the expeditionary force has been able to hold on to the present to a large extent because these main forces can always enter the battle at critical moments, change the balance of strength on the battlefield, stop the enemy's attack, and even regain some lost territory through counterattacks.

It's a pity that the human expeditionary force is not enough in the first place, and the main army is even less.

At the beginning of the expedition, only twenty legions of the human expeditionary force entered the Northern Alpha system, and only two of them could be regarded as the main legions. Of course, strictly speaking, it was not the main army, because at that time these two legions were only equipped with enough small original energy converters, and the officers and soldiers were all soldiers, and they were not equipped with space fighters. It's just that the other eighteen legions at that time didn't even have enough small origin energy converters, only the officers were soldiers, and the soldiers were all ordinary soldiers, so in terms of combat power, these two legions could be regarded as the main legions at that time. More importantly, these two legions were the first to obtain space fighters and were the first to have complete combat effectiveness.

Since then, as the Jade family has begun mass production of small Origin Energy Converters and space fighters, more legions have been armed. More importantly, in order to stabilize the battle line and hold the bridgehead of decisive value, after Yang Yi left, the other 180 legions of the expeditionary force also left for the North Alpha system. Although they did not catch up with the initial battles, all of these legions participated in the later battles.

It's just that when Yang Yi returned, out of the two hundred legions, only ninety-four legions were armed. Even if you count those small Origin Energy Converters and space fighters brought by Yang Yi, only ninety-six legions have reached full combat power. Of the other one hundred and four legions, not to mention the full combat strength, only about one-tenth of the total strength of the senior officers were soldiers with small Origin Converters.

Obviously, compared to the vast battlefield, the strength of the human expeditionary force is simply a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, behind the Human Expeditionary Force there are three thousand Weaver Legions, as well as an even larger Silicon Legion that can reach tens of thousands at most.

For Yang Yi, the Human Expeditionary Force is an elite force.

Although in the short term, Yang Yi will not be able to solve the problem of the lack of weapons and equipment in the expeditionary force, especially the small original energy converter and space fighters, as long as it is used reasonably, the ninety-six legions that have reached complete combat strength will have a lot to do, because this is a full 960,000 soldiers.

Of course, how to use it rationally is another question.

It is precisely because of the limitation of military strength that the human expeditionary force cannot serve as the main force. In fact, this is also the key to Yang Yi's support for the Dragon God Empress. To put it seriously, with the strength of the Human Expeditionary Force, even if the 3,000 legions of the Weaver Clan are counted, they can only hold the current star system at most, and they can barely maintain it. Although Yang Yi is here, he can stabilize the battle line, but it will definitely be very disadvantageous to wear down with the enemy. Don't forget, after the route was cut off, it was impossible for Yang Yi to get reinforcements from the rear. There will always be casualties in battle, but the enemy will be able to get a steady stream of replenishment. Fighting a war of attrition, Yang Yi will soon lose all the chips in his hand.

It's just that consumption certainly can't be avoided.

For this reason, Yang Yi can only reuse the Dragon God Empress and reuse those silicon charm legions who are loyal to the Dragon God Empress.

It can be said that Yang Yi has no other choice at all.

Yuyang and the others are not stupid, although Yang Yi did not explicitly mention this, but when Yang Yi repeatedly emphasized the importance of the Dragon God Empress and the Silicon Charm Legion, Yuyang had already thought of this, knowing that Yang Yi was also forced to do this, in order to reduce the combat casualties between the Human Expeditionary Force and the Weaver Clan, to hold on a little longer, and to be able to let the officers and soldiers return to their relatives one day in the future.

It's just that it is obviously impossible for the Silicon Charm Army under the command of the Dragon God Empress to carry the burden.

It is precisely because of this that Yuyang proposed that the main army of the Human Expeditionary Force should act as the vanguard to clear the obstacles on the way forward for the main force, and Yang Yi agreed. In addition, the Weaver Legion will launch feints on other origins at the same time to attract and pin down enemy forces, and if necessary, prevent the enemy from increasing their forces on the battlefield. Although Yuyang felt that a part of the troops from the Human Expeditionary Force and the Weaver Clan Legion should be drawn to form a reserve in order to deal with the unexpected situation, Yang Yi thought that there was no need for this, and the troops were not enough, so Yuyang did not insist. The point is that Yang Yi's purpose in launching this counterattack is not to seize that star system.

According to Yang Yi's deployment, the purpose of this counterattack is to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, do his best to kill and injure the enemy, and destroy the enemy's living forces, so as to deter the enemy from launching a new offensive in the near future. To put it simply, it is through this counterattack that the enemy cannot immediately launch a general attack.

It can also be said that Yang Yi's purpose is to gain time.

Although in the long run, it is extremely unfavorable to drag down the human expeditionary force, but in the short term, Yang Yi still needs enough time to adjust the deployment.

To put it bluntly, the current battlefield situation is a dead chess game for the Human Expeditionary Force.

Because the various star systems are separated by the enemy, resulting in a serious dispersion of forces, if the enemy attacks again, there is a high chance that the scattered legions will be annihilated. Although it is mainly the Weaving Star Clan, for Yang Yi, the importance of the Weaving Star Clan Legion is still above the Human Expeditionary Force. It's not that the Weaver Legion is stronger, but the survival of the Weaver Legion will determine the Weaver Clan's position.

Regarding this question, Yang Yi said very clearly.

In this way, before launching a full-scale counterattack, it is necessary to fill the holes in the defensive line and connect the star systems that have been divided by the enemy, which requires enough time to ensure that the enemy cannot launch a new attack during this period, that is, to seize the initiative on the battlefield.

In fact, this is also the main reason why Yang Yi advocates launching a counterattack against the enemy's heavily guarded star system.

Only through such a counterattack, by killing and wounding the enemy's living forces in large numbers, and destroying the enemy's legions, can the enemy lose the necessary forces to launch an attack, and can inflict a heavy blow on the enemy's morale and fighting spirit, and even force the enemy to spend as much time as he adjusts his deployment.

The purpose is very clear, but in Yuyang's opinion, it is very difficult to achieve this goal.

The key is not whether the human expeditionary force can complete the mission, but whether the Silicon Charm Legion, which acts as the main force, can complete the mission in a limited time.

Quite simply, the enemy will not be beaten passively, and after being attacked, he will definitely rise up to resist.

Because of the limited number of troops, even if there is a Weaver Clan legion in the periphery, the human expeditionary force is responsible for covering, and there is not much time left for the main attack force, so whether it can quickly complete the counterattack task, achieve the counterattack purpose, and then withdraw the legion that is engaged in the battle in time is the key.

Obviously, this is also the biggest problem.

In Yuyang's words, if it was the Human Expeditionary Force that acted as the main force, he would not have the slightest worry, because even if it was not the main army, it would have strong enough combat effectiveness to fight with higher efficiency, and it would be able to complete the task in a shorter time. In addition, the human expeditionary force does not have many troops, because it can ensure speed when entering and withdrawing from battle, and the requirements for transportation forces are not too high, even if they encounter trouble, they can quickly withdraw and avoid entanglement with the enemy, and it will not evolve into a protracted war of attrition. The problem is that the main force is the Silicon Legion, and the combat efficiency of the Silicon Legion is obviously far inferior to that of the Human Expeditionary Force. It takes more time to unfold when it comes to going into battle, and more time when it comes to withdrawing, and it also requires more transport forces. Besides, commanding thousands of Silicon Phantom Legions at the same time, if something goes wrong in the command link, it will definitely be a disaster. What made Yuyang feel even more big was that Yang Yi didn't give him enough time, so he couldn't make the battle plan more detailed. In Yuyang's opinion, there is no detailed battle plan, not even a battle plan, and it is strange that more than 8,000 Silicon Charm Legions do not have problems.

What Yuyang was worried about, Yang Yi also knew, but he didn't give Yuyang more time.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to these issues, it's that there is no more time.

If before this, Yang Yi was only worried, then when the scouts led by Shen Chengwen brought that war king back, he was not just worried.

That is, the news of Yang Yi's coming to the Northern Alpha Galaxy has spread, and it has attracted the attention of the Phantom Ghost Emperor.

According to the unlucky war king's explanation, the Phantom Ghost Emperor is already adjusting the deployment of troops, and there are all kinds of signs that the general attack time has been advanced. It's just that that guy is just a war king, he has never seen the Phantom Ghost Emperor, and he is not qualified to participate in the formulation of battle plans. All he knew was rumors, but it was enough for Yang Yi to make a judgment that his arrival had forced the Phantom Ghost Emperor to launch a general attack in advance.

Now, it's up to who can attack first. (To be continued.) )
