Chapter 525: Clear Mission
Jackson's arrival gave Yang Yi more options when arranging his troops.
Strictly speaking, Jackson is the only commander under Yang Yi who can take charge of himself. Although Yuyang is also good, he lacks decisive decision-making ability in the face of major problems, and is more suitable to be a staff officer than to directly command the legion to fight. Shen Chengwen has enough talent, but he mainly focuses on special operations, and commanding a large army to fight is not his strong point. Otis has appeal, especially in the Trobel Legion, but it is the Human Legion that sings the leading role in this war, and the Trobel Legion only assists, and the leader of the Human Legion may not listen to the command of a foreign race. Although Lin Feng has a strong command ability, he is not there, and may not be able to come to Beacon Mars in time.
What's more, Jackson has shown enough talent and experience in the operations of the Champagne galaxy.
If you want someone to command the legion to fight independently, Yang Yi can only choose Jackson.
According to Yang Yi's arrangement, Jackson commanded the legions from the Champagne system and the other fourteen colonial systems to act as a mobile force, that is, a reserve.
No one objected to this arrangement, perhaps only Jackson was not very satisfied, but he had no reason to object.
The main thing is that the reinforcements from the fifteen colonial systems are not regular troops, even if they have rich experience in actual combat, even if they obtain the weapons and equipment provided by the Yu family, the combat effectiveness is also a problem, at least until it is proven, Yang Yi does not dare to let these civilian armed forces serve as the main force. In addition, it takes a lot of time to master new weapons and equipment and to practice the tactics of large-scale operations. If these regiments are placed on the front line, they cannot be trained. Only by staying behind will there be enough time for these regiments to complete the necessary training. Besides, Yang Yi can also preserve his strength by arranging it this way. So that these self-governing colonial systems don't suffer too much damage.
Of course, Jackson's main task was to increase the combat effectiveness of these legions as quickly as possible.
As for guarding the four fortress-level barracks, that was the task of the regular army.
The military camp located on the Ten Thousand Beast Wasteland is the headquarters, which is in charge of the human legion commanded by Yang Yi, in addition to the Star Weaver Legion sent by the Star Soul Empress, and the reserve team commanded by Jackson. Although Yang Yi directly commanded only twenty legions. There are only twenty Star Weaver legions sent by the Star Soul Empress, and the total strength is not the largest, but counting Jackson's reserves, there are a total of one hundred and ninety legions.
Obviously, the headquarters barracks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland had the largest number of guards.
The other three fortification-level barracks were distributed to reinforcements from the nine theaters that were about to arrive.
According to Yang Yi's arrangement, the first, second, and third theaters were in charge, and the legions sent by these three theaters were the main forces. The other six theaters were assigned to each of the three barracks to assist in the defense. And unconditionally obey the command of the commander of the barracks.
In fact, this is also the most suitable arrangement.
Although there are nine war zones in the Human Federation, for a thousand years, the real core is the first, second and third war zones, and the other six war zones are not only much smaller in scale, but also much lower in status, and can only rely on the three strongest war zones, so the reinforcements from the nine war zones are guarded by three military camps. Not only can it minimize contradictions and conflicts, but it also allows them to compete with each other in the battle to defend the barracks.
Three days later. Reinforcements from the 3rd theater of operations arrived.
Fifty fully equipped regiments, and the fleet sent by the Yu family also sent a large number of war materials, and all of them were military supplies provided by the Third War Zone.
It must be admitted that Zhan Ruilin was very generous.
According to the results of Yuyang's rough statistics, the military supplies sent this time alone were enough to last the fifty legions sent by the Third War Zone for more than half a year. In other words, Yang Yi was not required to provide these corps with combat materials during this period. It greatly reduces the pressure on logistics support.
Before that, Yang Yi was still worried about this matter.
Because the reinforcements from the third theater arrived first, and Zhan Ruilin showed enough sincerity, Yang Yi also gave enough face and asked General Fang Zhicheng, who commanded the reinforcements, to choose a station.
In fact. There's nothing to pick and choose, because the continent where the Ten Thousand Beast Wasteland is located is in the middle.
Subsequently, Yang Yi personally sent the reinforcements from the Third War Zone to the station.
Although the construction of the barracks has not yet been completed, Carlson has already built the camp first according to Yang Yi's request and provided accommodation for the officers and soldiers of the 50 regiments. As for the rest of the infrastructure, it will continue to be built after the Legion is stationed, and it will take some time.
Over the next few days, reinforcements from eight other theaters arrived.
As Yang Yi had speculated before, the First Theater and the Second Theater both sent fifty legions, and their strength was on par with that of the Third Theater. It's just that the troops sent by these two theaters are all troops sent to the colonial galaxy before and seized by the autonomous government of the colonial galaxy, not the main army of the theater. In addition, the two theaters did not provide additional combat materials for reinforcements, and Yang Yi needed to be responsible for providing them.
In this regard, Yuyang and others were very dissatisfied, but Yang Yi did not take it seriously.
Anyway, Yang Yi is from the third war zone, and it is already very good that the first war zone and the second war zone can send reinforcements.
Besides, Yang Yi didn't expect these war zones to provide more help, and he had already made relevant arrangements before.
As for the other six theaters, the reinforcements sent varied, with the largest sending forty legions and the least only twenty legions. In addition, the combat effectiveness of these corps is also uneven, some theaters send the main corps, while others send lightly armed corps.
Yang Yi didn't complain about anything, and assigned a station to these reinforcements according to the plan.
After all the reinforcements from the nine theaters were stationed, Yang Yi, as the commander-in-chief, summoned the commanders of the nine support armies together.
The name is to give them the wind and wash the dust, but in fact, it is to clarify their respective tasks.
Of course, Yang Yi did not forget to call Otis.
Although there is no rank in the human legion in the army of the Weaver Clan, Otis is the captain of the female warrior guard under the command of the empress herself, and her status is far above that of ordinary soldiers, equivalent to the commander of the Guard. By the standards of the Human Legion, Otis was at least on an equal footing with generals, and the reinforcement commanders sent from the nine theaters had three lieutenant generals, six major generals, and none of them were generals.
Besides, Otis is a soldier of the Weaver Clan, and the Weaver Clan is a top-level civilization.
Obviously, even if those commanders didn't take Yang Yi in their eyes, they would never dare to underestimate Otis.
Fortunately, what Yang Yi was worried about did not happen.
The nine commanders are very knowledgeable, and after Fang Zhicheng took the lead in saying that he would unconditionally obey the commander-in-chief's command, the other eight generals all expressed their stance that they would never delay and would advance and retreat together with Yang Yi.
Afterwards, Yang Yi learned that Fang Zhicheng was Lin Xiaoting's confidant, and he served in the same army as Lin Liexun back then. When Lin Liexun returned to the theater headquarters, Fang Zhicheng stayed behind and was promoted all the way to brigadier general. Before the outbreak of the war, Zhan Ruilin attacked Luo Zhenyu, and the local garrison commanded by Fang Zhicheng played a vital role in the operation to eradicate the Luo family, so he was reused and promoted. In addition, the legion under the command of Fang Zhicheng was the last unit to withdraw to the home system within the third theater. Because of covering the retreat of other troops, in the battle after the break, the corps commanded by Fang Zhicheng suffered great losses, and the casualty rate exceeded fifty percent.
At this time, Fang Zhicheng brought this army.
To put it simply, Fang Zhicheng and Lin Liexun had a life-and-death relationship, and the fifty legions commanded by him were the strongest combat units in the Third War Zone.
It was not Zhan Ruilin who arranged for Fang Zhicheng to come over, but Lin Xiaoting.
Perhaps in Lin Xiaoting's view, the relationship between Fang Zhicheng and Lin Liexun is extraordinary, so when assisting Yang Yi, he naturally will not have reservations, at least he will not cause trouble for Yang Yi. For the sake of Lin Liexun's face, as well as the battles that these fifty legions had experienced before, Fang Zhicheng would definitely do his best to assist and support Yang Yi. If the other legions had passed, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been the case.
In fact, Yang Yi's worries were a bit redundant.
Fang Zhicheng needless to say, and the commanders sent by the other eight theaters are not a problem.
The key is that the role played by the Yu family has been very obvious, not only Zhan Ruilin has realized the importance of the Yu family, but also the commanders of the other eight theaters. Now directly and indirectly controlled by the Jade Family, there are not only fifteen colonial systems that have gained autonomy, but also dozens of colonial systems that have not obtained autonomy for the time being, but they will definitely be able to gain autonomy in the near future and become a colonial galaxy of power. With dozens of colonial systems in their hands, the Jade family is no longer a simple business family, but a powerful force that no one can underestimate. With this foundation, the Yu family can even stand up to the federal authorities. Not to mention in wartime, even in peacetime, no war zone has the capital to be the enemy of the Yu family. To put it bluntly, without the support provided by the Yu family in all aspects, any war zone would be struggling. Not to mention anything else, the commercial routes mastered by the Yu family are nine war zones, and even provide more than half of the survival resources for the entire Human Federation.
Obviously, at this time, no war zone was willing to become the enemy of the Yu family.
After the Yu family made their position clear, supporting Yang Yi means supporting the Yu family, and making trouble for Yang Yi on Mars means having trouble with the Yu family.
As far as the nine theaters are concerned, not sending reinforcements is at most ignorant of current affairs, and if reinforcements are sent but they are delayed, it is deliberately causing trouble. To put it simply, since reinforcements have been sent, there is no reason to offend the Yu family because of poor combat, so naturally they have to go all out.
Although the atmosphere was integrated, Yang Yi still made his words clear.
There are a total of four continents on Beacon Mars, which are divided into four defense zones, Yang Yiqin led the main army to garrison the Ten Thousand Beasts Wasteland, responsible for guarding the central continent, and the nine theaters were responsible for the defense of the northern continent, the eastern continent and the western continent. Although Yang Yi will send reserves to provide support according to the situation, guarding these three continents is the task of reinforcements from the nine theaters, and if they are lost, they will have to bear the main responsibility.
To put it simply, as long as the central continent guarded by Yang Yi has not been captured, then the other three continents have to be defended. (To be continued.) )
