XVI. The Battle of Xuanwu (15)

The New Earth Star is located in the third star region of the southern star region divided by the Heavenly Tiger Empire, and when the 180th Front Army Group entered the third star region, the secret intelligence network of the Yanhuang clan was already aware of it, and such a huge spatial fluctuation, of course, the satellites laid by the Yanhuang clan were clear. At the moment of a strong enemy, Guan Tiebing did not dare to be too presumptuous, and ordered all units of the First Division to begin to shrink their forces and begin to attack the more remote star areas, temporarily avoiding the edge of the enemy's main force. After all, the 180th Front Army Group is a huge fleet with up to one billion warships, and even if it lacks the 60 million warships of the Fifth Front, there are still 940 million troops, and such strength is definitely not something that the First Division can compete with.

It has been ten days since the 180th Front Army Group entered the southern star sector, and there has been no movement in the central star sector, but they have received the news that there are enemy troops in several star zones on the edge, and all the generals understand that this is the enemy army avoiding the edge of the army and running to the farther star sector to plague the people of the other Heavenly Tiger Empire, but so what, they are also beyond the reach of the whip, the enemy army is elusive, and when they arrive, the enemy army has long been unknown where to go.

The most troublesome thing for the guerrilla forces behind the enemy line is not how heavy the damage is to you, but to specifically destroy all kinds of logistics production and harm ordinary civilians, etc., once the supply of the front line can't keep up, then the front line will collapse even if there is a strong army, so although the 108th Front Army Group wants to immediately wave its army straight to the Xuanwu Fortress Group, but, no, in addition to getting rid of the rats in their own homes, there is no way to mobilize the main army of the army to the front line.

Although the coalition forces retreated, they left a super mess, more than 100,000 planets in the four star regions were destroyed by the coalition forces, and more than 30,000 bases were destroyed, leaving only more than 8 trillion civilians who had been robbed of all the materials and production materials in those 100,000 planets.

It is not difficult to transport supplies, the 180th Front Army Group has brought a large amount of supplies here, and there is a huge transport fleet to continue to transport supplies from the rear, but it is more difficult to distribute them to various planets, because there is a hungry wolf around him. Although the coalition forces said that they had retreated, they could come back if they retreated, and although the strength of the coalition forces was not too much, there were only 20,000 warships (the 180th Front Army Group estimated the strength of the coalition forces at a high level, and believed that the strength of the coalition forces should reach 20,000 ships). Although 20,000 warships is not a very big number, the combat effectiveness is definitely not weak, especially the opponent's technology is also relatively strong, and those battleships are not inferior to the Empire's Starship-class battleships in one-on-one battles.

In other words, if you want to transport a large amount of supplies to various planets, you must first clear the coalition forces, otherwise, it will only let the coalition forces make trouble everywhere, and the losses will definitely not be small. Although the southern star region is only a star region, it has a radius of tens of millions of light years, and such a vast area, if you want to clear it, you must have a large number of troops, so the 180th Front Army Group will not think about going south to attack the Xuanwu fortress group in a short period of time.

On the New Earth Star, the former palace of the Bright Empire, and now the general headquarters of the 180th Front Army Group of the Heavenly Tiger Army, Tianhu Tieshan ordered all the generals above the rank of lieutenant general to gather for a meeting to discuss the next move, and in the face of an extremely cunning enemy, Tianhu Tieshan did not dare to take it too lightly.

The meeting was attended by generals at the rank of lieutenant general and above, including the chief of the general staff of the 108th Front Army, General Tiger Muchi, the chief of the general intelligence, General Juiyan Lisi, and the chief of the military police, General Tetsu Lihara. There are also the commander of the First Front Army, General Saburo Aoki, the commander of the Second Front Army, General Tanno Wild Wolf, the commander of the Third Front Army, the commander of the Third Front Army, and the commander of the Fourth Front Army, General Absolute Heaven Batsuki...... Nearly 10,000 generals participated, and this was the entire leader of the 180th Front Army Group.

Needless to say, the content of the meeting is how to destroy the hateful Yanhuang coalition army, but there are differences on how to fight, and some generals think that it is best to immediately send troops to the Xuanwu fortress group to annihilate the main force of the Yanhuang coalition army in one fell swoop, and then go back to clean up those active rats, this is the fastest way. Some of the generals believed that it was necessary to fight steadily and steadily, and not to be impatient, otherwise, they might lose and the war would drag on indefinitely.

The commander of the Ninth Front Army, General Shenli Feishi, said: "Our army now has an absolute superiority in strength, and from the report sent back by the Fifth Front Army, we also know that the strength of this opponent is not too weak, but can they just rely on a few of their fortresses be able to block the main attack of one of our front army groups?" The main thing is that we concentrate all our forces on the attack, and ensure that their fortress support will be finished in less than a month, and when the time comes, after destroying their main force, and then returning to deal with their guerrilla forces, they will surely be wiped out. ”

The commander of the Thirteenth Front Army, General Linghu Meiya, objected: "Your Excellency's words are good, but they are not brainless, I admit that with the current strength of our army, the Yanhuang clan is indeed not our opponent, but can we really destroy their fortress so easily? Even if we can destroy their fortress, how many casualties do we need to pay?" Don't forget, their attack is terrifyingly strong, I think, if there are not one or two front armies to pay the price of the near-total destruction of high-level warships, it is impossible to destroy their fortress group, is this a bit too much, in addition, we must be able to guarantee that the opposite side of the wormhole behind the fortress must be the home planet of the Yanhuang Clan? On the opposite side of the wormhole, how much strength does the Yanhuang Clan have? We don't have any information about this, so I'm skeptical that this war will end anytime soon, and this war will never end anytime soon. ”

For the only woman among the commanders of the sixteen front armies, all the generals respected her very much, not only for her beauty, but also for her strength. To be able to gain a foothold among the hundreds of millions of Heavenly Tiger Empire people, and then climb to such a high position as the commander of a front army, it is absolutely impossible without strength, and this female general, who is only more than a hundred years old, is definitely not an easy character to deal with.

Hearing Linghu Meiya say this, some generals have a little reminiscence, it seems that this enemy is really difficult to deal with, they still know too little information about the other party, if the opposite side of the wormhole is not the home planet of the Yanhuang Clan, and the Xuanwu fortress group is just a defense line of the Yanhuang Clan? What if there are several lines of defense on the opposite side of the wormhole? What if the opposite side of the wormhole is an army of countless Yanhuang Clan? Then the consequences are difficult to say.

Once the main force of the 108th Front Army Group cannot quickly lay down the victory, the 180th Front Army Group will be in danger, the production and supply bases in the rear will be destroyed, and it will not be able to provide effective logistical supplies, but the enemy army is blocking the front road and unable to advance, so that the logistics cannot keep up, the road ahead is impassable, and it is impossible to grab enough supplies, so that the 108th Front Army Group is in danger of collapsing itself without a fight.

This is definitely not alarmist, the army that has lost logistics is the beginning of defeat, in the history of millions of years of war in the Heavenly Tiger Empire, there are countless armies that have been defeated on logistics, they are all because of the logistics supply so that the enemy army is cut off, although the most difficult is to give the enemy a lot of killing, but still end up miserable, these historical lessons are every student who graduated from the military academy must remember the events of his life. Now, isn't it a bit too risky to risk the logistics of cutting off the enemy's forces to fight a big battle with the enemy?

Tianhu Tieshan asked, "How much information do we have about the Yanhuang Clan?" "Your Excellency, we have very little information. "This race is even more powerful than we imagined, their sense of secrecy is very good, we can get not a lot of information, just a little bit of knowledge, these things are still relatively limited for our operations, so it will take time for us to understand their intelligence." ”

The chief of the General Staff, General Tiger Wuzhi, said: "Everyone, your opinions are very reasonable, but taking risks is not the strength of our army, what we need to do is to eliminate the Yanhuang clan with absolute strength, rather than relying on adventure to fight, so my personal opinion is still more accepting of General Linghu's opinion, first eliminate the Yanhuang clan's troops in our rear, even if it takes a year or two, it doesn't matter." ”

Everyone's eyes are looking at Tianhu Iron Mountain, as the absolute henchman of Tianhu Iron Mountain, what Tiger Wuzhi said is basically the opinion of Tianhu Iron Mountain, but he still has to wait for the boss to speak. "Let's clean up the rats first, Xuanwu Fortress, let them stay there for the time being. ”

It is not an easy task to eliminate the Yanhuang troops in the rear, and in this regard, General Juyan Lisi has more say in this regard: "Everyone, what we have to do now is a very difficult matter, and this matter is definitely not as easy as you imagined. If we want to get rid of the rats mixed in by the Yanhuang clan, we have to divide it into three steps. The first step is to eliminate the intelligence network of the Yanhuang clan. There are no intelligent races on these planets, I believe that the so-called intelligence network of the Yanhuang tribe should be some satellites with low-level intelligence, they have reconnaissance intelligence of our army all the time, the first thing we have to do is to find out the location of these satellites, and then destroy them, so that the Yanhuang tribe will become deaf and blind. ”

"The second step is to build a strong defensive line step by step, compress their living space, and make it impossible for them to pose a threat to our army's logistics production. At the same time, our army also has to arrange our own intelligence network, and we can no longer let the enemy attack without knowing anything about it, as we did before, and only a perfect intelligence system can completely trap this enemy force. This is a time-consuming process, and our army needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources. ”

"The third step is to divide the troops to encircle and suppress. When the enemy has nowhere to flee, it is time for our army to completely destroy the enemy army, and when it reaches the last point, concentrate a large number of troops to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop. ”

This is true, but if you really want to do it, there is no way to do it right without more than a year or two years, after all, this is a star region with a radius of ten million light years, so all the generals have come to their senses, and it seems that they will have to play with these rats for these two years.
