When the military camps on the Eastern Continent were captured by the Silicon Charm army, the military camps on the Western Continent were also attacked.

Fortunately, Howard is a little smarter and more rational than James.

As with the battles on the Eastern Continent, on the Western Continent, the landing force of the Silicon Charm Army arrived before the bombardment was over and launched an attack. Although, like James, Howard ordered the legions on the outer line to enter the battle at the first opportunity, unlike James, after discovering that the enemy had not stopped bombing, Howard did not let the other legions launch a counterattack, but let the reserves enter the inner line. As a result, after losing the outer line, the reinforcements from the first theater held the inner line. It's just that Hohuad's action was a little late. When the Silicon Charm army advanced to the inner line of defense and launched an attack, only ten legions entered the line, and only some of them were in place. Fortunately, the officers and men of these ten legions fought desperately and bought some time, otherwise the enemy would have broken through the inner defense line before the other ten legions arrived.

It's just that the huge gap in the strength of the two sides makes Hohuad's efforts meaningless.

Although the four barracks designed by Carlson and built to the strictest standards of the Thunderling Legion, they have not only a perimeter defensive line, but a complete set of defensive facilities, simply put, the entire barracks are defensive positions, and even after the fall of the outer defensive line, they can be defended by relying on the infrastructure inside the barracks. But due to time constraints, the construction of the four barracks was not completed at all and could not be completed. In order to ensure the timely construction of the outer defense line, Carlson could only postpone the construction of the defense facilities inside the barracks according to Yang Yi's request. If the battle goes well, the human legion can complete the construction of internal defense facilities if it holds the outer defense line for a while.

In fact. This is exactly what Yang Yi deployed.

To put it simply, it is to hold on to the outer defense line as long as possible, strive to complete the defense construction inside the barracks, and then rely on the entire barracks to fight the enemy.

The problem is, it takes time.

What's more, it's not the Thunderling Legion that guards the barracks. It's a human legion.

Although twenty legions were dispatched, half of the reserves were mobilized, and the inner defensive positions were entered in time, in the face of hundreds of silicon magic legions, the reinforcements from the first theater could not last long. When the first ten legions were incapacitated due to heavy casualties, and the other ten legions were bombed and shelled and unable to enter the battlefield in time, the inner defensive positions were also breached by the enemy.

Fortunately, the reinforcements from the 1st Theater of Operations held on to the inner line of defense for at least more than ten hours.

After the inner defense line was broken through by the Silicon Charm Legion, Howard sent a signal for help. And according to the defense plan formulated by Yang Yi, he began to organize the retreat of the corps.

It was only at this time that Yang Yi knew that there were as many as five hundred Silicon Charm Legions attacking the Western military camp!

More importantly, through the battle report sent by Huo Huade, Yang Yi knew the enemy's offensive tactics.

Using the bombardment, as well as the first legions to be dispatched, the Silicon Charm army effectively consumed the troops deployed by the Human Legion on the outer defense line.

Plainly. The Silicon Charm Legion, which took the lead in the attack, was just bait, and it could also be said to be cannon fodder.

According to the battle report submitted by Hohuad. There were only ten Silicon Legions attacking before the bombardment was over, and no more than twenty at most. It was precisely because of this that Hohuad believed that the regiments already deployed on the defensive line could be used to block the enemy, and did not increase the number of troops on the outer defensive line. Although in the heavy bombardment, these Silicon Charm Legions also suffered extremely heavy losses. It can even be said that the whole army was wiped out, but it also played an extremely valuable role. Not to mention, those human legions on the outer defense line left the bunker and entered the surface position during the bombardment, and without exception suffered huge casualties. and even a complete loss of combat effectiveness. As a result, by the time the main force of the Silicon Charm army came up, there were no troops available on the outer defense line. Because of the threat of bombing and shelling, even if Howard knew that the outer defense line was already shaky, he could not send reserves up, and he would not be able to hold the outer line.

If there is no inner line of defense, then the Western military camps have also fallen.

It can be said that the reinforcements in the first theater can last for more than ten hours, except for Huo Huade, who did not command indiscriminately, the key is the inner defense line.

Of course, the key is still that Howard did not mess with himself.

By the time Jackson arrived with reinforcements, the legion under the command of Howard had retreated to the vicinity of the space passage, relying on improvised positions to fight the enemy.

Although the reinforcements in the first theater suffered heavy losses, and the reinforcements in the other two theaters were similar, and less than 20 of the nearly 100 regiments guarding the western barracks were still fully organized, and at least 500,000 officers and men were killed or wounded or missing, the remaining officers and men did not lose their fighting spirit, at least not despair.

According to Yang Yi's arrangement, Jackson let the reserves take over the position.

Howard was still there, most of the senior officers were alive, the retreat went smoothly, there was not much trouble, it just took some time.

Because the situation was under control, Yang Yi did not go to the Western military camp.

The battle lasted two days.

In fact, the defenders of the Western military camp were all withdrawn on the same day. It's just that Yang Yi didn't let Jackson immediately withdraw with the reserves, but let Jackson stay for one more day. This is not done to destroy more enemies, but to figure out the enemy's offensive deployment.

The southern barracks, where the headquarters was located, and the northern barracks, guarded by reinforcements from the 3rd theater of operations, were not attacked.

At this point, Yang Yi had to believe that the enemy had mastered the defensive deployment of the human legion, and knew that the defense of the western military camp and the eastern military camp was the weakest.

Of course, Yang Yi was not worried about this.

Quite simply, in his plan, it was not only a matter of time before the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent were abandoned, but also inevitable.

The key is that with the strength in Yang Yi's hands, it is impossible to hold four military camps at the same time, and it is very good to be able to hold two. What's more, if there is no way to land on Mars and establish a landing site, then after suffering heavy losses, the Silicon Charm army may not continue to attack, and it is likely to take extreme measures. Although it is protected by an energy barrier, and the original energy provided by a hundred large SSS-class Origin Energy Converters is enough to maintain the spatial stability of the entire Wolf Smoky Galaxy, as long as the Silicon Charm army is determined, there is still a way to destroy Beacon Mars. For example, try to transport an asteroid from a nearby star system and use the asteroid to hit Mars.

It's just that Yang Yi didn't expect all this to come so quickly.

You know, this battle has only been fought for a few days.

Although before this, Yang Yi did not have much hope for the reinforcements sent by the first and second war zones, but in his opinion, no matter how bad it is, he can hold out for a few months, at least half a month. More importantly, these legions were able to deplete the enemy's forces and thwart the enemy's strength with a strong barracks. As long as you can hold out for a while and let the enemy suffer heavy losses, then the battle that follows will be much easier.

Don't forget, Yang Yi's purpose is not to wipe out the Silicon Charm army here, but to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

To put it simply, what Yang Yi has to do is just to hold the beacon spark so that the enemy cannot retreat through the beacon spark. Even if the enemy's goal is not to retreat from here, hold on. When the Human Federation recovers all the colonized galaxies, and when the main army of the Weavers arrives, they will be able to encircle and annihilate the Silicon Charm army near Mars. It is precisely because of this that when formulating the defense plan, Yang Yi did not take the destruction of the enemy as the main purpose, everything revolved around guarding the barracks, and the fundamental purpose was to hold on for a longer time, and he could even make certain sacrifices for this. Abandoning part of the barracks and allowing the enemy to land on Mars is actually to buy time through ground warfare.

Unfortunately, the two barracks were only held for a few days.

Although in the battles of the past few days, a large number of Silicon Phantom Legions have been eliminated. According to Yuyang's statistics, the defenders of the four barracks eliminated at least three million Silicon Charm warriors in the battle, that is, three hundred Silicon Charm Legions. But the human legion also paid a terrible price for it. The defenders in the eastern camp were almost completely wiped out, and less than 100,000 people were withdrawn. The situation in the Western barracks is slightly better, but not much better. Of the approximately 300,000 officers and men who were withdrawn, less than 200,000 were able to continue fighting, and the remaining 100,000 were disabled and wounded. Even if the Weaver Clan's medical equipment can be used to fully recover most of the disabled soldiers, it will take enough time.

In addition, the reserves suffered considerable casualties.

In the two rescue operations, Jackson mobilized 20 regiments of the reserve, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were killed, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were wounded.

Of course, morale has been hit even more severely.

Although the legion under the direct command of Yang Yi was not greatly affected, and the problem of the reserve team was not very big, it was only temporary. Most of the soldiers who had been evacuated from the eastern and western barracks had lost the confidence to continue fighting, let alone the hope of victory. As long as pessimism spreads, it will inevitably have an impact on other military personnel and will inevitably lead to a shake in the morale of the army.

All Yang Yi could do was try to convince the officers and men that they could achieve the final victory.

As for how long this situation can be maintained, Yang Yi has no bottom in his heart.

So, how to fight the next battle?

After Jackson returned with the broken reserves, Yang Yi gathered everyone together and sent someone to invite Fang Zhicheng over.

Now, there are only two military camps left, and no matter how he fights next, Yang Yi will not be able to leave Fang Zhicheng behind.

More importantly, after losing the eastern and western military camps, the northern military camps must not have the slightest mistake. If only one barracks remains, it will be besieged by the enemy. Even with enough troops, it is impossible to hold out until reinforcements arrive in an embattled situation.

Then, no matter how you fight, you should discuss with Fang Zhicheng, at least get Fang Zhicheng's support. (To be continued.) )
