Chapter 549: Trust and Support
Yang Yi's retreat and cultivation at this time really surprised Yuyang. It's just that Yuyang has no other way, after all, he is only Yang Yi's chief of staff.
Fortunately, not everything is pressed on Yuyang.
Although Yang Yi was in retreat and cultivating, with Shen Chengwen, Jackson and Otis there, Yuyang was only responsible for handling the daily affairs of the headquarters, mainly to assist Carlson in defensive construction. As for other things, most of them were handled by Jackson, and Yuyang didn't worry about it.
Actually, Jackson is more like the chief of staff.
After a few days, Yuyang also realized that among Yang Yi's old subordinates, Jackson was the most capable, more like Yang Yi's deputy. Compared with Jackson, although Shen Chengwen's personal combat power is not bad, his organizational ability, especially the ability to command the legion, is obviously insufficient. It's not that Shen Chengwen is not important, it's just that his abilities are different. Of course, it has to do with the experience between the two. Shen Chengwen has been in the special investigation team, although he is the squadron leader of the strategic squadron, he only leads his officers and soldiers to carry out secret missions. Jackson was the leader of the mercenary group before he met Yang Yi, and led his mercenaries to fight in the sea of stars, even if he didn't have the ability to command the legion, he could still train it.
In fact, this is also the key to Yang Yi daring to let Jackson act alone, but did not let Shen Chengwen leave his side.
Thanks to Jackson, if it was just Yuyang, I'm afraid it would have been messed up a long time ago.
Anyway, Jackson is a colonel officer of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade, although he has no corresponding position, but he can still speak in front of a group of soldiers, especially when communicating with reinforcements from the Third War Zone, it is obviously much better for Jackson to come forward than to let Yuyang come forward.
What's more, the Silicon Charm army did not attack during this period.
Of course, this is not Jackson's credit. It is the credit of Shen Chengwen and Otis.
Although he also didn't understand why Yang Yi was in retreat at this time, Shen Chengwen and Otis didn't stop, and they didn't make a fuss about it. After Yang Yi's retreat, they worked harder. Within a few days, Shen Chengwen and Otis led the special reconnaissance team and the female warrior guard to launch dozens of attacks, causing a lot of trouble for the Silicon Charm army that landed on Beacon Mars. It also delayed the action of the Silicon Charm army.
In fact, it will take enough time for the Silicon Charm army to organize a new attack.
In other words, the attack launched by Shen Chengwen and Otis only created some trouble for the Silicon Charm army, allowing the Silicon Charm army to spend more time to complete the preparations before the attack. Even if they didn't attack, the Silicon Charm army wouldn't be able to attack anytime soon.
Taking advantage of this time, the Human Legion did a lot of things.
At the Southern Barracks, Carlson completed the planning of the defense in just two days. Although it was mentioned before, let Yang Yi use human wisdom to adjust the defense deployment of the military camp. But after Yang Yi's retreat, Carlsen had no choice but to pick up the burden. In any case, you can't do nothing. Even if Carlson's planned defenses may not be decisive in battle, it is much better than nothing. It's just that Carlson is only planning it, and it still takes a lot of time to complete the construction of the project. Because there was no other choice, Yuyang could only let Carlson start building defenses. Efforts should be made to build basic fortifications as soon as possible.
In the northern military camp, Fang Zhicheng is also going all out to strengthen the defensive deployment.
It must be admitted. Ginger is still old and spicy.
As the most experienced general in the Third War Zone, at least the general who participated in the most battles and performed the most eye-catching in this war, Fang Zhicheng was definitely not comparable to Yuyang and a group of young people in all aspects, especially in the ability to organize the army to fight.
Don't forget. Fang Zhicheng did not have an engineering commander like Carlson.
When negotiating combat operations, Yuyang went to the northern military camp once. Although he didn't go to the entire barracks, what he saw and heard along the way made him have to admit that he was much worse than Fang Zhicheng. Furthermore. The reinforcements of the Third Theater of Operations, commanded by Fang Zhicheng, were also unusual. Not to mention anything else, none of the 500,000 officers and men of the 50 regiments have changed their minds, and they are all doing what they need to do in an orderly manner.
It's just that Fang Zhicheng's confidence in this war is obviously insufficient.
In his words, if the Silicon Charm army launches an attack, there is nothing to worry about, because it means that the enemy does not pay attention to the human legions, thinking that they can fight quickly. If you launch an attack without adequate preparation, even if you have already gained a firm foothold on Mars and have two military camps to rely on, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses and casualties, and you will have a chance to win, or even suffer a crushing defeat as a result.
The Silicon Charm army has not launched an offensive for a long time, and there is even more need to worry.
Of course, Yuyang also understands the truth.
To put it bluntly, the Silicon Charm army did not rush to attack after successfully landing on Beacon Mars and occupying two military camps and two continents, indicating that the enemy's commander began to pay attention to the human legion, knowing that it was impossible to destroy the human legion entrenched in the other two continents by launching a quick attack, and even knew that a rash attack would only bring heavy losses, and in the end, it might be defeated by the counterattack of the human legion.
Obviously, the more prepared the enemy is, the more ferocious the attack will be.
In fact, the discovery of Shen Chengwen and Otis on the battlefield behind enemy lines has proved this speculation.
In just a few days, the Silicon Charm army has transported thousands of legions to the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, and it is increasing at a rate of hundreds of legions every day. At this rate, it will only take a month at most, and the entire strength of the Silicon Charm army, that is, about 6,000 legions, will all land on Mars.
Obviously, with the strength of the human legion, it is impossible to defeat the six thousand Silicon Phantom legion no matter what.
For this reason, Yuyang proposed to take the initiative to launch a counterattack.
Although Shen Chengwen supported his proposal, Jackson did not object, and Otis was even more positive, but Fang Zhicheng resolutely opposed it, and clearly mentioned that Yuyang was only the chief of staff of the headquarters and had no right to make such a decision, and he only obeyed the orders given by Yang Yi.
Of course, Fang Zhicheng is not aimed at Yuyang.
On this issue, Fang Zhicheng made it very clear. Through the battle behind enemy lines between the Special Reconnaissance Brigade and the Female Samurai Guard, there is enough reason to believe that the commander of the Silicon Charm Army has not let his guard down and has long been prepared for the counterattack of the Human Legion. Launching a counterattack when the forces are already insufficient and the defensive deployment is not yet in place will inevitably have unpredictable consequences, even if it does not suffer huge losses. To put it seriously, if the counterattack fails, then the Silicon Charm army will definitely take the opportunity to attack. Because there are not enough troops, at this time, it is impossible for either the southern military camp or the northern military camp to withstand the attack of the Silicon Charm army.
What's more, the enemy's inaction is also related to this.
To put it bluntly, in the case of an offensive and defensive situation, the Silicon Charm army can make full use of the favorable conditions of defense to consume the living force of the human legion.
As long as the commander of the Silicon Charm army has a little brain, he will defend instead of attacking.
The problem is that Fang Zhicheng did not come up with an effective countermeasure against the enemy.
Just drag it out?
Obviously, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for the human legion. Not to mention a month, even if it is only half a month, after thousands of Silicon Phantom Legions have landed, the Human Legion will definitely be defeated. Obviously, this stalemate is good for the Silicon Charm army and must be changed.
But how?
Fighting back doesn't work, what else can be done?
After Yuyang's proposal was vetoed by Fang Zhicheng, Shen Chengwen proposed to gather the soldiers and launch a surprise attack against the generals and kings of the Silicon Charm army, and achieve the purpose of striking the enemy and making the enemy lose their ability to attack by eliminating the generals and kings of the Silicon Charm army.
According to Shen Chengwen's analysis, the Special Investigation Brigade has hundreds of officers and soldiers, and about 1,000 officers with Origin Converter, that is, the strength of soldiers, can be drawn from the twenty main army corps. Although Fang Zhicheng did not have a special reconnaissance team in his hands, and there were not many officers in the legion he brought with him who had the Origin Energy Converter, there were at least hundreds of soldiers. If you count Otis's female warrior guards, it is even more powerful. In Shen Chengwen's words, thousands of soldiers attacked at the same time, even if the Silicon Charm Legion that could not completely annihilate the landing, it could inflict heavy damage on the enemy. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can take out many generals and war kings, and maybe you can turn the whole situation around.
It's just that Fang Zhicheng also didn't agree.
The reason for the opposition is also very simple, when all the soldiers go to attack the enemy, who will command the legions and who will guard the two barracks?
Yes, there are millions of officers and soldiers, but all of them are ordinary soldiers.
What's more, the Human Legion is paying close attention to the Silicon Charm Army's every move, isn't the Silicon Charm Army spying on the Human Legion?
After discovering that all the soldiers in the Human Legion are involved in the counterattack, will the enemy miss the opportunity?
When the time comes, let alone launch a full-scale attack, even if it is just for one war king to command ten legions, it will be easy to build a military camp.
Don't forget, in addition to the Silicon Legion that has already landed, there are many more Silicon Legions that have not landed.
In other words, after discovering this opportunity, the Silicon Charm army does not need to use the landed legion at all, and can use the legion that has not yet landed to attack.
Obviously, no matter how many soldiers there are, it is impossible to pose a threat to the Silicon Fleet, and it is impossible to deal with the attack from the Silicon Fleet.
In Fang Zhicheng's words, Shen Chengwen's proposal was even crazier and more unworkable.
By this time, Yuyang had already thought of it. Although Fang Zhicheng did not propose an effective method, no one was able to propose an effective method.
After more than ten days, Yuyang was also helpless.
In fact, not only him, everyone else is the same, and everyone has the same idea, that is, Yang Yi can lead everyone to overcome difficulties after leaving the customs.
It can be said that everyone pinned their hopes on Yang Yi, and believed that Yang Yi's retreat was to find a way to defeat the enemy. It's not just trust, it's unconditional support. Only subordinates like Shen Chengwen and Jackson who follow Yang Yi with all their hearts will believe that no matter when, no matter how strong the enemy is, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Yang Yi will not let them down.
