79. The Battle of the Counteroffensive (2)

On June 14 of the same year, when the thirty-seven star regions were in chaos, a huge fleet arrived at the Crazy Tiger Star Region, this fleet had the total strength of eighty front army groups, plus the original 1,440 front army groups in the thirty-seven star regions, the total military strength of the Heavenly Tiger Army in this vast area was as high as 1,520 front army groups, such a huge force was enough to destroy everything.

A huge cosmic-class battleship slowly approached the Venus Fortress Star, the commander-in-chief of the Crazy Tiger Star Zone, and Silver Star Flame boarded the battleship on a landing craft. Under the guidance of the guards, he arrived at the command cabin, and in the command cabin, sitting on the throne in the center was a very old soldier, this soldier looked eighty or ninety years old from the outside, his face was wrinkled like pine bark, and a marshal's uniform looked a little ill-fitting on his thin body, loose and straddling, looking very incongruous, the old soldier was reaching out to pick up a small snack from the plate in front of him and put it into his mouth, his hands were shaking a little. If you look closely at his eyes, you will see that his eyes are cloudy, but his eyes are still sharp. Beside him stood a very young soldier, this young soldier looked to be no more than thirty years old, his body stood as straight as a javelin, full of short blond hair, he looked very energetic, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, a very imposing young man.

Silver Star Flame bowed respectfully to the old soldier, "Teacher." "It's a flame. "Teacher, I didn't expect His Majesty to send you out. "Yes, I didn't expect that His Majesty would come to the door to invite me, an old bone, to come out and appear in the world, I am already a thousand years old, it is the time to eat and wait for death, but His Majesty still refuses to let me support the elderly, I am blessed by the country, Your Majesty has a life, and I have to come." ”

The generals and commanders who followed behind the Silver Star Flame also saluted the old soldier respectfully: "The old headmaster is well. "It's all good, you little cubs, all of them are decent, very good. The old soldier replied with a smile, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, "It's not in vain that I have taught you for many years, and you have done a good job." The old soldier's words frightened all the generals to their knees.

The young man next to the old soldier bent down and said, "Grandpa, you have scared everyone. "Get up, all of you are not small, what do you look like when you kneel? If you lose a battle, you will lose a battle, what's the big deal? Who hasn't lost a battle? I don't know how many times I was defeated? Give me some soldier's appearance, don't show this sissy look, save me from being bored to look at it." "Yes, old headmaster. ”

This old soldier is not an ordinary person, but the old principal of the Royal Military Academy of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, the sworn brother of the previous emperor of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, and the three-star marshal of the Divine Tiger Fury, known as the imperial military god. This old man was a veteran soldier who commanded hundreds of millions of troops back then, and most of the generals and marshals of the current empire were students of him when he was a member of the Royal Military Academy, so most of the generals of the empire had to call the old military god when they saw it: "Old principal." "Of course, it is rare for someone like Silver Star Flame to call a teacher by one of the eight gods of the Empire, because Silver Star Flame is the proud protégé of the old military god.

Silver Star Flame glanced at the young soldier and said, "Teacher, is this the most famous general of our empire's new generation, Aotoka Ichiro?" "Yes, he is Aotoko Ichiro, my great-grandson-in-law. "Sure enough, it's a talent. "I don't dare to be praised by His Excellency Silver Star, I'm just a teacher in a military academy, and I'm not a famous general, at least I haven't been on the battlefield. Ichiro Aotora smiled politely, not at all angry at the words of Silver Star Flame.

Ichiro Aotoka, one of the most dazzling figures in the empire in the past ten years, a soldier who has never been on the battlefield but has obtained the rank of general, a soldier who is only forty years old, graduated from the imperial royal military academy and stayed in school to teach, but he won awards for many military papers, and thus rose all the way to become a general. "A man who eats on women", this is the evaluation given to this man by the Imperial military circles, so Silver Star Flame's sentence "the most famous general in the new generation of the Empire" is definitely not a compliment.

After the meeting, after a day of rest, Shenhu Nu convened a military meeting, which was attended by the marshals and generals of the 120 front army groups, the number of which was more than 2,000 people, and Qinghu Ichiro stood next to Shenhu Nu as a major general, and he was really conspicuous among the many generals and marshals. However, no one drove him out of the city, because it was the anger of the gods who let him attend the meeting, and the old military god wanted to cultivate his grandson-in-law, how could others dare to oppose it?

At the meeting, countless marshals and generals expressed their opinions, but the conclusion was almost the same: they couldn't figure out what the Yanhuang clan wanted to do. After Shenhu listened angrily, his face sank several times, and his students didn't grow up like this. He raised his right hand, pressed the air, and when the conference room was quiet, he turned his head and asked, "Ichiro, what do you think?"

Qinghu Ichiro glanced at the faces of everyone present, and most of them were contemptuous eyes, and he was angry, but he didn't take it to heart, and said: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, my opinion is very simple, this hand of the Yanhuang clan is just trying to delay our attack. ”

A marshal said: "What do you mean by delaying our attack?" "It's very simple, the Yanhuang tribe does not have the strength to fight with our two battlefields at the same time, and he wants to send most of his troops to the eastern theater to resist our army's attack, therefore, in the western theater, they no longer have the strength to block our army's attack, so they can only use this small means to delay our army's offensive time and buy more time for themselves." ”

Shenhu nodded angrily and said, "Yes, Ichiro, what you said is the same as I thought. However, this alone is not enough, the strength of the Yanhuang clan is not superior, in the eastern theater, they can only delay for a while, but it is impossible to block the attack of our army, with their delay, our army will destroy them, therefore, the entrance to their basalt wormhole will be discovered by our army sooner or later, at that time, their resistance will no longer be meaningless, therefore, their delay in the western theater has become meaningless. So, what are their real strategic goals?"

Qinghu Ichiro smiled and said, "Replace defense with offense, and burn the flames of war into the territory of our empire, so as to force us to withdraw our troops and give them a longer time to recuperate." "Oh, you mean they're going to attack on a big scale?" "Not going to attack on a big scale, but they're going to attack with their own tactics, just like they're doing now, using all sorts of tactics to force us not to move forward. Let this war stalemate so that they have more time to grow, and as long as this strategic goal is achieved, they win. ”

Silver Star Flame asked: "Major General Qinghu, I understand a little bit what you said, but can they achieve such a strategic goal?" "This strategic goal is actually not difficult to achieve, and if it were me, it would be easy to achieve." This is really a bit arrogant, it really ignores all the marshals and generals here, and there are really few people who are so arrogant.

A marshal asked, "Major General Qinghu, what you said is a bit too much. Although everyone here was secretly scolding in their hearts, but because Qinghu Ichiro was the great-grandson and son-in-law of Shenhu Fury, it was just inconvenient to have an attack.

Qinghu Ichiro smiled: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be angry, I'll just make an analysis." "I'm listening, Your Excellency. The marshal was angry in his heart, and the major general bit the two words very clearly, and added Your Excellency to the end, which showed that he was already very angry.

Qinghu Ichiro was not angry, and said: "What I love most is empathy, if I were Sun Tiejian, what would I do about it? How can I win this war? ”

"From the perspective of the whole war, this is a war that will never end to the death, so there is no room for compromise on either side, and there will be no peace talks between us, and the war will only continue until one side falls. This is the premise. ”

"Judging from the current situation, the strength of the Yanhuang clan is far inferior to that of our empire, whether it is in terms of population, economy, science and technology, territory, strategic depth, materials and other aspects, our army has an absolute advantage, therefore, if it is a head-on hard fight, we only need to use one percent of the military strength to drive the Yanhuang clan out of the Tianhu River system, we understand this ourselves, and the Yanhuang clan also understands. ”

"The only thing where the Yanhuang Clan is stronger than us is that they have an ancient heritage, and they have individual combat power and various spells that are countless times stronger than us, which we know well, and they know better. ”

"War, fighting is to use one's strongest to deal with the enemy's weakest, if I were Sun Tiejian, I would definitely play my advantages to the limit, so as to make up for my weaknesses. And in war, when a decisive victory is won on one side, the weaker side may also turn into an advantage, thus rewriting the outcome of the entire war. Therefore, the only way the Yanhuang clan could win was to make full use of their individual combat power. And that's exactly what they did. ”

At this point of analysis, all the people were silent, yes, the Yanhuang clan did this, since they built a large number of huge planets, they have done this, but what does this have to do with the counterattack? What does it have to do with the goal of the battle?

Qinghu Ichiro glanced at everyone and said, "The overall situation is like this, then, it's time for the specific battle concept." At present, the war between both sides of our country is concentrated on two theaters, the Western Theater and the Eastern Theater. The Battle of the Western Theater Since the army of the Marshal of the Fierce Tiger Annihilation was forced to retreat, since the Yanhuang Clan occupied the Storm Fortress, the Yanhuang Clan has stabilized the situation in the Western Theater, and it can even be said that they have blocked our army from the Western Theater. Therefore, the decisiveness of the battlefield has already shifted to the Eastern Theater of Operations. However, with the strength of the Yanhuang Clan, and the fact that the base camp of the Yanhuang Clan is in the Western Theater, their strength in the Eastern Theater is not enough, but they cannot give up the Eastern Theater, so after they stabilize the Western Theater, they will definitely transfer the main force to the Eastern Theater. ”
