66. Storm Fortress (2)

In order to deal with the Yanhuang Clan's coalition forces, the Heavenly Tiger Empire mobilized a full seventy front army groups to gather in the southeast star region, and there were as many as fifty front army groups in the east-southeast direction, and it was believed that there were enough 120 front army groups to deal with it. The strength of one hundred and twenty front army groups, which already accounts for more than one percent of the total strength of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, this proportion does not seem to be much, but what a big territory the Heavenly Tiger Empire is, although all the people in the empire are their own people, but, who doesn't want this thing of power? If there is territory and no army to garrison, the idiot will have an idea in his heart, so although the Heavenly Tiger Empire has a total strength of 10,000 front army groups, in addition to the defense power of each star region, there are not many mobile troops that can be used, at most about 1,500 front army groups, so the troops sent to fight the Yanhuang Clan have accounted for about 10% of the total mobile force.

In order to better fight against the Yanhuang Clan, the Heavenly Tiger Empire is so deployed its troops, and the actual area of the war with the Yanhuang Clan is divided into two major theaters, namely the Eastern Theater and the Western Theater, with the seventh ray star field as the standard, the seventh ray west as the western theater, and the seventh ray east as the eastern theater, these two theaters are separated by hundreds of millions of light years, so although they are nominally two theaters, in fact, they are basically not under each other. From the arrangement of troops, it can be seen that the Heavenly Tiger Empire placed the main battlefield in the Western Theater, that is, the theater where the New Earth Star is located. For the Eastern Theater of Operations, they just sent enough troops.

As the commander-in-chief of the Western Theater of Operations, the deputy chief of staff of the military department of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, the two-star marshal of the Fierce Tiger Extermination, is one of the few famous generals in the Heavenly Tiger Empire. In the base camp located in the Gale Fortress, the Marshal of the Fierce Tiger Extermination frowned, looking at the artificial forest outside the window and was distracted, although he had hundreds of millions of troops in his hands, but his heart was not relaxed at all.

"Your Excellency, the army of the Yanhuang Clan has moved, and our intelligence network has not yet received the exact number and route of their troop movements, so we can only confirm that they are indeed moving. Marshal Jin Heshen, the chief of staff of the Fierce Tiger Extermination, stood behind him and said softly.

"Unexpectedly, the empire has successfully researched the space blockade system, and is preparing for a large-scale redress of the whole army, the threat to us from the Yanhuang clan's space jump landing tactics no longer exists, and we have also prepared a large amount of materials in the past four hundred years, and we have already prepared for war, it is time to go to war. With the intelligence capabilities of the Yan and Huang clans, they are only afraid that they will know the news of the successful space blockade system before our Emperor His Majesty, and of course they know that our army will take action against them in a short time, so it is inevitable to be mobilized and prepared. I'm just trying to figure out what tactics they're going to use against our army. Fierce Tiger Annihilation said lightly, "Prepare for a military enlargement meeting, this time, strive to completely eliminate the Yanhuang clan in a short period of time." "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. ”

The commanders of the seventy front armies in the Western Theater of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, the commanders of the one thousand and twenty front armies, including the chiefs of staff at all levels, and a total of thousands of senior commanders at the rank of general gathered at Gale Fortress to hold a meeting to discuss the next military action.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after all these years of development, the Yanhuang Clan has become much stronger than before, in addition to their space fleet, there are also their Yanhuang Clan's own troops, but we don't know how many people there are. Their combat effectiveness is very strong, and they are our main enemy, as for their space fleet, it is obvious that it is just cannon fodder, therefore, the focus of our army should be the Yanhuang clan's own troops, and those cannon fodder troops are not enough to cause trouble at all. Their original defenses have all been disorganized, and now, the Yanhuang tribe is mobilizing their troops and is ready for our military operations. This was also expected by our Marshal, and therefore the tactics adopted by our troops did not require any special tactics, but to attack them directly and crush them with absolute strength. Jin He Shenqi presided over the meeting.

"The Yanhuang Clan has not been completely unprepared in the past four hundred years, they have used a very special method, which can actually make the planet grow and become bigger. As far as we can observe, among the millions of planets in the entire Western Theater of Operations, there are already hundreds of planets that have become very huge, and these planets are the things that the empire is determined to obtain, of course, the things that our army is determined to obtain, the Yan and Huang tribes will also expect to be able to defend these planets in the morning, therefore, they will definitely defend these planets, with their current strength, it is estimated that they will have a great chance of defending these planets, and they will use these planets to fight a tragic ground war with us. ”

The people present were all knowledgeable soldiers, and when they saw those huge planets, they naturally understood how tragic the battle that was about to take place was. Wars are originally launched for the sake of interests, and no one wants to fight without big interests, and cosmic wars are also for the sake of competing for more resources, and the biggest resources are, of course, those planets. The more massive the planet, the richer the resources, the greater the benefits, this is already common sense, see those huge planets with a diameter of up to millions of kilometers, you can imagine how much interest there is, these planets must be captured, and, or to be captured without damage to maximize the benefits, this is also common sense in the universe, to destroy those resource-rich planets, it is equivalent to taking their own money to burn, this is a crime.

For the Heavenly Tiger Empire, those small administrative stars don't have to care, there are many planets in the Heavenly Tiger Empire with a diameter of about 10,000 kilometers, those asteroids can occupy them, and if they can't be occupied, they will be completely destroyed, there is no problem at all, these asteroids can't make much money in a year, and the resources are very limited, but the interests represented by a huge planet are far more than this, so for this huge planet, it must be captured.

"With the strength of our army, we will definitely win a fleet war, even if we lose a part of our warships, our army's strength is more than ten times that of the enemy, and it is impossible for them to beat our army. However, if we really want to fight a ground war, that is another matter, therefore, our army must be fully prepared in this regard, a large number of clone soldiers must be needed, and we must be mentally prepared to pay heavy casualties. ”

Space warfare, the Heavenly Tiger Empire can definitely defeat the Yanhuang Clan coalition, everyone understands this, but if you fight a ground battle, the Heavenly Tiger Empire will not have much confidence, but it has fought with the Winged Girl Clan for thousands of years on the Winged Girl, and with such a large advantage in the force, it is still impossible to take down the Winged Girl, which is very revealing, so everyone knows it in their hearts.

"According to the guess of our General Staff, the reason why the Yanhuang clan has created hundreds of huge planets is also very clear, that is, to use these planets as the main defensive facilities, and fight a huge ground battle with us, dragging our army across, and it is almost impossible for our army to take these planets in a short period of time, therefore, our army's attack in a short period of time will not be effective, and our army will definitely not be able to go deep behind enemy lines until the planets are cleared. So, the first battle of our goal is Celestial Mercury. ”

"Operational Order No. 1 of the Western Theater: Order the 1103rd Front Army Group, the 1105th Front Army Group, and the 1106th Front Army Group to be the main force attacking Tianshui and attack Tianshui. The other ministries sent observers to Celestial Mercury to observe the ground battle. "The commander of the 1103rd Front Army Group, the one-star Marshal of the Iron Car Bursting Soul, the commander of the 1105th Front Army Group, the one-star Marshal Yinshan Yushu, and the commander of the 1106th Front Army Group, the one-star Marshal of the Golden Wing Voyage, stood up at the same time and accepted the order.

Mobilizing the forces of the three military groups to attack a planet is indeed exaggerated enough, but it is also common sense, no one dares to despise the Yanhuang clan anymore, and God knows what more terrifying ability the Yanhuang clan will have?

"This war will not be launched in a short time, but everyone hurry up and prepare for battle, we will start a war in two years, just wait for our warships to be refitted, then we will be able to start a war. "Before the space blockade system is fully installed, the Heavenly Tiger Empire will not look for a fight, and when the space blockade system is installed, it will be the day when the war resumes.

"Third brother, the troops of the Western Theater of the Heavenly Tiger Empire have begun to assemble, according to the information sent back by Brother Wu, a large amount of materials are being mobilized through the rear to the logistics bases in the forward planets of the Western Theater and the Eastern Theater, and they are preparing for war, just waiting for the installation of their space blockade system to be completed. "At the Yanhuang Clan's military meeting on the New Earth Star, Zhuge Tieyi spoke first.

"Third brother, as the saying goes, the first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers, we can no longer let the Heavenly Tiger Army take the initiative. We have completed the preparations for the war, and the children's hands are itching, just waiting for your order. Cao Tiefang shouted, but he called out everyone's voice, after holding it for so many years, whose hands are not itchy?

Sun Tiejian smiled and said: "Brothers, don't worry, the battle has to be fought, it's just that how should we fight this battle, where should we fight, of course we won't let the Heavenly Tiger Army take the initiative anymore, this time, we have to strike first." Find a way to destroy part of the enemy's main force first. What do you think?"

Shi Tieyu said: "Although we are not afraid of the Heavenly Tiger people, but the fact is that their strength is stronger than ours, we are really at a loss to fight a fleet battle with them, such a battle, we must not fight, we have to fight, we will drag them to the ground and then fight, therefore, I think we should take a defensive position and use our planet to drag them forward, so that they cannot attack the rear of our army." ”

Most of the brigade commanders nodded in agreement with Shi Tieyu's statement, their side only has the strength of seven front army groups, but the Tianhu Army has the strength of seventy front army groups, and the Yanhuang clan has no reinforcements other than the strength of these seven front army groups, but behind the Tianhu Army there are tens of thousands of front army groups, even if they can eliminate the strength of their ten or eight front army groups, it is not a loss to the Sky Tiger Empire, they can transfer more troops from the rear at any time. Therefore, this fleet battle cannot be fought, and if the fleet in his hand is exhausted, what else can he use to threaten the Tianhu Army?

Cheng Tiezhu said: "Everyone's statement is reasonable, but if we defend it for a long time, we will lose, although we can use the power of the planet to fight a ground war with the enemy, but in the face of the almost endless clone soldiers of the Heavenly Tiger Army, no matter how strong we are, there is no way to resist it, if we don't destroy their space fleet, we will be equivalent to hanging a knife above our heads, and our army will suffer too much in defense." ”
