Chapter 542: Passing the Buck

The search proceeded quickly, and it didn't take long for Yang Yi to receive news that Justin had found James.

When Yang Yi arrived, Justin had already eliminated all the enemies in the nearby area with the assistance of several guards who arrived in advance, and also killed several generals.

It's just that Yang Yi and the others are still a step late.

Although James is still alive, he is not far from death. According to Justin, James was already dying by the time she arrived. Although James had a guard, and there were ten soldiers in it, it was vulnerable to hundreds of Silicon Warriors. What's more, the enemy also found James, to be precise, these human warriors who had gathered together. As a result, two generals were brought over, and they were two generals equivalent to level 10 soldiers. Although there are only two generals, the strongest of James's guards is only an eighth-level soldier. In the face of two generals and thousands of Silicon Charm warriors, ten soldiers couldn't hold out for long.

It's just that it was these ten soldiers who resisted desperately that James survived until now.

In fact, James is only an eighth-level soldier.

By the time Justin arrived, six of the ten men had been killed and four others were seriously wounded, with James left with only one breath left. Although it is not clear what happened before, it can be seen that the battle was extremely fierce. James suffered a heavy blow to the abdomen, and if it weren't for the Origin Converter, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago. As for the other officers and men in the guard, almost all of them were killed.

Of course, it wasn't hard for Justin to take out two of his generals at all.

When Yang Yi rushed over, Justin had already arranged for his men to send the four wounded soldiers away, but he didn't send James away.

Actually, there is no need for this.

Because of severe blood loss. Even with the Origin Protector, James wouldn't be able to live long. To put it bluntly, he simply couldn't insist on returning to the headquarters.

Looking at James lying on the ground, Yang Yi was very emotional, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"We need to get out of here as soon as possible." Seeing that Yang Yi was silent, Justin said on the side. "There were enemies everywhere, and the battle that started was definitely discovered by the enemy. There's nothing to be afraid of, but the more we delay, the more casualties will be on the other side of the space passage. ”

Yang Yi nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

Justin didn't say anything more, turned and walked away.

"Rest in peace, James." Yang Yi sighed secretly and said, "Although I can't save you." But I will do my best to save the officers and men of the Second War Zone, and let them know that you died heroically in the battle with the enemy, and that you are a hero worthy of everyone's respect and admiration. ”

After saying this, Yang Yi took away the Origin Converter from James.

In fact, James didn't hear him say this at all, because by the time he said this, James had already lost his breath.

Yang Yi didn't delay any longer. Leaving the Legion Command Center with Justin.

By this time, Jackson had arrived with reinforcements. But only one legion was brought. It's not that Jackson doesn't want to bring more legions over, it's that there's no need for it. Just guarding the spatial passages, one legion is enough. The next thing to do is to block the Silicon Phantom warriors who are killing from all directions, buy more time for the retreat, and allow more soldiers to leave the soon-to-be-fallen barracks through the space passage.

When Yang Yi and Justin returned, the officers and soldiers of the Special Reconnaissance Brigade found the other two generals.

They were lucky. All of them were alive, and they were only slightly injured. It's not that they're better than James, it's that they're not being targeted by the enemy. It's just that these two guys are very embarrassed, and when they escaped, they only brought their own guards. It is not even clear what happened to the regiments under his command. Actually, there was nothing surprising about this, the main reason was that the attack came so suddenly, and by the time they knew that the outer defense of the barracks had been breached by the enemy, they had no time to organize their legions, let alone lead them into battle. In addition, the barracks are so large that the corps has been dispersed. Even if the order is given in time, it may not be able to bring the legions together.

In fact, this is also the key to the rapid fall of the barracks.

Seeing these two generals, Yang Yi figured out the situation.

Like the southern barracks, where the headquarters was located, the Eastern barracks were bombed before that, and for several hours. During this time, James gave orders to the regiments on the outer line of defense, based on the previous two battles, to hide from the bombardment in bunkers and to return to position after the bombardment was over. To put it simply, James believed that the enemy would attack after the bombardment was over.

In fact, this is also Yang Yi's previous judgment.

It's just that the enemy did not wait for the end of the bombardment.

When and how the Silicon Legion arrived, the two generals are also unclear. It wasn't until the Silicon Legion appeared outside the barracks that they discovered it.

At this time, James made a fatal mistake.

That is, when the Silicon Legion attacked, James ordered the legions on the defensive line to enter positions and launch a counterattack against the attacking enemy. Judging from the situation at the time, James took it for granted that after the Silicon Legion attacked, the enemy would stop bombing.

Obviously, James thought about the battle situation too simply.

Far from stopping the bombing, the enemy intensified the bombardment. As a result, the human legions, which left the bunker and entered the defensive positions, suffered a fatal blow. Although the Silicon Phantom Legion advanced to the vicinity of the defensive line also suffered heavy blows, the enemy could withstand casualties, but the Human Legion could not.

To put it bluntly, the Silicon Phantom Legion launched an attack before the bombardment was over, just to consume the human legions on the defensive line.

By the time James suddenly understood, it was too late.

In less than half an hour, the ten legions on the defensive line were almost completely annihilated. Although the attacking Silicon Legion also suffered a catastrophe, more of the Silicon Legion remained outside the bombing area and was not affected. Before the reserves sent by James could enter the defensive line, the enemy attacked again. At this time, James made another fatal mistake, that is, let all the legions launch a counterattack and hold the perimeter line.

You must know that the barracks not only have an outer line of defense, but also an inner line of defense. Even if you lose the outer line of defense, as long as you can hold the inner line of defense, you can still hold on. Even if you lose the inner line of defense, you can rely on the facilities in the barracks to fight. To put it bluntly, as long as you make reasonable use of the forces in your hands, even if you can't keep the enemy out of the barracks, you can hold on, at least until reinforcements arrive.

What's worse is that James gave orders to dozens of legions at the same time, and dozens of legions went into battle at the same time.

As a result, the situation immediately spiraled out of control.

Although some legions arrived in time and entered the battle, without proper command and coordination to speak of, a few legions could not stop thousands of Silicon Phantom warriors. Before the other legions could enter the battle, the outer line of defense was captured by the enemy. While the commanders of the various regiments were still busy organizing their officers and men, the enemy attacked the barracks. Because almost all the legions were not organized in time, and many of the legion commanders did not even find their own troops, none of the legions were able to act in time, let alone reach the headquarters, when James repeatedly gave orders for the various legions to move closer to the headquarters.

It can be said that the battle has been completely disorganized.

Although not a single officer or soldier surrendered in the face of a strong enemy, the unified command was lost, and hundreds of thousands of officers and men could only fight on their own.

At this point, let alone Yang Yi, if it is replaced by anyone else, it is also powerless.

It's just that Yang Yi didn't fully believe what the two generals said.

Quite simply, according to them, the blame is all on James. Even if the fall of the outer line was inevitable, James's subsequent orders were the main reason for the fall of the barracks. If James hadn't allowed the entire army to launch a counterattack, the situation would not have spiraled out of control, at least not immediately losing the inner defense. More importantly, organize dozens of legions and at least be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive. The question is, what were the other two generals doing when James was making mistakes? Even if James was the commander-in-chief, the other two generals should have their own opinions, or at least suggestions. What's more, all James was able to command was reinforcements sent from the Second Theater. To put it simply, if the other two generals had done something and organized their own legions to fight the enemy, it would certainly not be the situation in front of them. To put it bluntly, they, like James, at least failed to do their part at the time.

However, now is not the time to hold accountable.

After asking Justin to arrange for his subordinates to send the two generals away, Yang Yi took over the command.

In fact, by this time, what Yang Yi could do was extremely limited.

The retreat was still ongoing, and groups of officers and soldiers were constantly returning to the area where the space passage was located, escorted by the Special Reconnaissance Brigade or the Female Samurai Guard. The legion brought by Jackson had already entered the defensive line, and Shen Chengwen had also redeployed the officers and soldiers he had organized before.

The enemy did not stop the offensive and sent more regiments.

How many officers and soldiers can be rescued, Yang Yi didn't count in his heart, so he could only do his best.

Although these officers and soldiers are all from other war zones, and they are not Yang Yi's subordinates, especially the grassroots officers, they may not obey Yang Yi's command, but everyone is in the same boat, and no one can leave Beacon Mars at this time. As long as these officers and soldiers want to leave Beacon Mars alive, they can only obey Yang Yi's command. Yang Yi also believes that even if James and other generals have schemes, they have nothing to do with grassroots officers and soldiers. Again, James is dead, and the other two generals are also controlled by Yang Yi. Without a commander-in-chief, the grassroots officers and soldiers in other theaters could only obey Yang Yi's command. At least until the end of the battle, the officers and men of these units had no reason to refuse the orders given by Yang Yi.

It's just that it's not just the military camps on the Eastern Continent that are being attacked. (To be continued.) )
