Although the earthquake came suddenly, Hank reacted immediately.

Under his organization, the Fourth Army Corps under his command completed the assembly of the whole team as quickly as possible. Although many soldiers were injured in the earthquake, all the officers were unharmed, and most of the soldiers were only slightly injured and were able to fight without suffering any damage to their combat effectiveness.

Of course, troubles are not without it.

The ships transporting the Fourth Legion were all damaged in the earthquake, and two of them were extremely badly damaged, and they were two ships carrying heavy equipment and combat supplies. In fact, it was precisely because the equipment and supplies on the two spacecraft could not be unloaded before the earthquake occurred, so when the earthquake occurred, the two spacecraft were thrown over. Although there were no casualties, the regimental operation was indispensable to those heavy equipment, let alone war materials. As a result, Hank had to spend a lot of time and energy organizing his officers and soldiers to carry the supplies in the spaceship and try to unload the heavy equipment. It was precisely because of this that Hank was temporarily unable to put the organized officers and soldiers into battle.

Actually, Hank didn't know what was going on in the barracks.

While organizing the officers and soldiers to rush to transport supplies and equipment, Hank also sent some officers to contact other regiments and let his adjutants go to the barracks command center.

At this time, Hank still thought it was just an earthquake.

Soon, the officers sent out by Hank contacted the other legions.

In a similar situation to the Fourth Legion, the other legions did not suffer many casualties, except for the loss of some equipment and supplies in the earthquake. Of course, the problem is the same, that is, several regiments are all in disarray, and many officers and soldiers have not yet recovered from the earthquake.

Comparatively speaking, the situation of the Fourth Army was the most ideal.

And there is nothing surprising about it, among several corps commanders. Hank is one of the best.

Although Hank is a "new generation" of soldiers, that is, soldiers who were born after the Fifth Greenwich War and entered the army, in terms of personal ability, Hank is definitely no worse than an officer like Somme who participated in the Fifth Greenwich War and was reused for his merits after the war. Strictly speaking. Hank is better. That is, Hank was not affected by the Fifth Greenwich War.

Whether or not one admits it, the impact of the Fifth Greenwich War was profound.

At this point, the Human Federation, especially the senior commanders of the Human Legion, knew it best. To put it simply, if the fiasco of the early days of the Fifth Greenwich War happens again, then even if a commander like Xiao Wentian comes forward, the Human Federation will not have the last laugh. When the time comes, it will certainly not be the Human Federation that will suffer from the catastrophe. It's all the civilizations in the Galactic Alliance.

The reason is simple, the enemy does not make the same mistake twice.

It is precisely because of this that after the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, commanders like Zhan Ruilin have retreated into the background one after another, handing over the construction of the army to the new generation. Although it has to do with the natural lifespan of human beings, after all, no one can survive in the natural state for more than a thousand years, but it also has to do with the long-term consideration, that is, those soldiers who participated in the Fifth Greenwich War. The senior commanders, in particular, were so affected that they would extrapolate the next war based on the experience of the Fifth Greenwich War. It is also possible to go into a misunderstanding. Comparatively speaking, those soldiers who were born after the war and did not participate in the Fifth Greenwich War have a clearer understanding.

The problem is that I am afraid that the only one who can have such a clear understanding is the Human Federation.

Other civilizations. Including the Lei Ling clan, after the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the senior commanders of the army not only did not take the initiative to give in to the virtuous, but also made a big effort to win over their subordinates. As a result, large numbers participated in the Fifth Greenwich War. And the officers and soldiers who performed well in the war were reused, and in the following thousand years, they successively climbed to high positions and became the core backbone of the army.

This situation is extremely common in the armies of top civilizations such as the Lei Ling Clan.

The reason is very simple, a top-level civilization like the Lei Ling Clan, even ordinary individuals have a long lifespan, such as a hermit who has not passed the adult trial, can survive for thousands of years, and individuals who have been recognized and have a high status have almost unlimited lifespan.

It's just that the peaceful and prosperous era that lasted for a thousand years has largely overshadowed these deadly problems, especially for the top civilizations.

You must know that in the past thousand years, even if there is no war with the Silicon Alliance, the Human Federation will have to face the threat from the north in the direction of Greenwich and deal with the attack of wild silicon beasts. Other weak civilizations have to fight for survival and development, and they will inevitably clash with other civilizations. But for the top civilizations, none of these threats and contradictions exist.

The problem is that in the past 1,000 years, the military culture of the seven top civilizations, including the Lei Ling tribe, has not developed much, and it can be said that it has not changed, still following the model of the Fifth Greenwich War, and taking the classic examples of the Fifth Greenwich War as a model, and the commanders who control the top of the army also think that the next war will be the same.

This point is very prominent in the selection of corps commanders.

In peacetime, the Lei Ling clan had a total of one hundred and fifty standing legions, of which fifty legions were stationed in other places and one hundred legions remained in the homeland. Of the commanders of these one hundred and fifty regiments, one hundred and thirty-two were veterans of the Fifth Greenwich War, and only eighteen of the new generation. In addition, almost all of the senior commanders in the Thunderling army are veterans of the Fifth Greenwich War.

Not only are there very few new legion commanders like Hank, but they have never been taken seriously.

Of course, that's not to say that a new generation of legion commanders like Hank aren't capable.

Actually, the opposite is true.

For the new generation of soldiers, because they have no qualifications, the only thing they can rely on if they want to climb to a high position in the army is ability.

It can be said that Hank is the leader of the new generation of legion commanders of the Lei Ling clan, and he is the only new-generation soldier who sits in the position of commander of the main legion. The Fourth Legion under his command is not only the main legion of the Thundering Clan, but also one of the oldest legions of the Thundering Clan, which has existed for thousands of years, not only participated in five Greenwich Wars, but also opened up territory for the Thunderling Clan 5,000 years ago.

Being able to become the commander of the Fourth Army Corps is in itself the best proof of ability.

At this time, the performance of the Fourth Legion was also enough to prove Hank's ability.

While the other legions were still in disarray, Hank's Fourth Legion had assembled as a whole and had limited combat effectiveness.

It's just that Hank doesn't know the situation and doesn't even know that the battle has begun.

After contacting the other legions, Hank still asked his officers and soldiers to continue to rush the equipment and materials on the ship, and did not immediately lead the troops to the barracks command center.

Of course, Hank is understandable for doing so.

Without heavy equipment and not enough combat materials, even if the Fourth Army was immediately put into battle, it would not be able to give full play to its combat effectiveness.

You know, in large-scale battles with a corps as a unit, the combat effectiveness of an individual is extremely small. A strong legion must have enough heavy equipment, as well as the supplies needed to fight the battle. Without these, even if the troops are sufficient, they are vulnerable on the battlefield.

In addition, it will take enough time to reorganize the corps and organize the officers and men.

As more and more heavy equipment was rushed out, and more officers and men found their troops, the ranks of the Fourth Army became more and more complete.

After most of the troops had been given heavy equipment and most of the supplies had been looted, it occurred to Hank that the officer he had sent to the barracks command center had never returned or contacted him. It wasn't until this time that Hank realized something was wrong.

At this time, Hank did not hesitate, nor did he hesitate.

After sending officers to contact the other legions to get their troops organized as quickly as possible, and then to the barracks command center, Hank set off with the Fourth Legion.

Only part of the Fourth Army Corps, to be exact.

Because there were some seriously injured soldiers who needed to be taken care of, and there were still a lot of equipment and materials that had not been rushed out, and he didn't know the situation, he just thought that there was something wrong with the barracks command center, maybe it was damaged in the earthquake, so Hank left some officers and soldiers and only took about half of the troops to the barracks command center. And even then, five thousand officers and soldiers, and there was enough heavy equipment.

Of course, as a good legion commander, Hank did not take it lightly.

Before the large force was drawn, he sent out scouts. Although this is a military camp, not a battlefield, Hank meticulously implements the basic combat rules of the Lei Ling Legion, that is, when the legion is deployed, scouts must be sent out to avoid being ambushed.

Until this time, Hank didn't know that there was a human legion in the barracks, but he had strengthened his guard.

Of course, every move of the Fourth Legion was under Yang Yi's watch.

The strength of half a legion is actually not much. The problem is that the only things that Yang Yi can use now are the staff officers of the headquarters, and the few female warriors brought by Otis. If it was just a pure battle, Yang Yi wouldn't worry about anything. Even if they can't defeat 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Lei Ling Clan, they can still escape, or use their absolute superiority in personal combat power to fight the enemy and consume the enemy's combat power. The problem is that this is not an ordinary battle, because Yang Yi and the others can't give up the barracks command center, so they have to fight the enemy face to face here. The difference in strength was almost twenty times, making Yang Yi's personal combat advantage worthless.

"Are you sure?"

Otis was slightly stunned, only then did she realize that Yang Yi was asking her. "If it's just against those enemies, it's not a big problem, but if you want to hold the legion command center, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and didn't say anything.

The five thousand Lei Ling Clan officers and soldiers are nothing, the key is the heavy equipment they brought. (To be continued.) )
