Chapter 1966 Long Live the th Division

Yang Xiyi did perfectly reorganize the main force of the remaining fleet that retreated from Sai De, and the New Shenzhou Front Army under his command suddenly became strong. He had never fought such a rich battle in his life, and he had the entire New Shenzhou rear as a support, so he dared to use troops so boldly.

The facts have once again proved Yu Lian's conclusion that "the rise and fall of the Spring and Autumn Period is a matter of thousands of years, nothing more than not treating people as human beings." Sometimes, the more daring you are to bet, the better the effect will be.

After this battle, the Imperial fleet left only a part of the warships responsible for monitoring and remained on standby in the planet's orbit, and the siege was disbanded. In addition, the last Imperial destroyer evacuated from Marshal Li's Graer was attacked. The Imperial warship was caught off guard and was set on fire by the plasma shells that rose from the low-Earth orbit.

Again, the damage is still not great, but it is still extremely insulting.

However, he managed to hold back this time when facing the Imperial Army.

"Marshal Li Gele still has a large anti-aircraft ion cannon?" Yu Lian was very surprised.

If you want to strike from the surface to the universe, you naturally need high-powered projectile weapons, which means you need to set up artillery positions on the battlefield in advance. But in this way, it is also very easy to be discovered by enemy ships in the universe and suffer a devastating disaster from the sky.

In general, unless the number gap between the two sides is too large, the artillery built on the surface of the planet, although it cannot be said to be better than nothing, the cost-effectiveness is indeed hard to describe.

Yu Lian had long known that the 38th Division and Marshal Li Ge'er's soldiers and civilians had never expected to use the artillery positions in the city to stop the imperial warships, so they had not set them up from the beginning.

As for the few artillery positions built in hidden mountains outside the city, they were all aimed at the enemy's flying artillery vehicles in the atmosphere.

They also used 47 and 107, which were easy to disassemble, so they could run away at any time after the fight. If they didn't have time to take them away, they could destroy them at any time. After all, they didn't feel bad if something they could make from a workshop was broken.

Facts have also proved that this battle is extremely cost-effective.

Yang Xiyi said: "General Longba led the garrison to improve your 107. A large part of the citizens of Marshal Li's Gler are former slaves of the plunderers, working under the trolls."

Indeed, anyone who can survive the Mysandar trolls without being eaten must be a talented person.

"Of course, it's also because the Chimera discovered a new boron ore in the sea. After purification, it can be used to make new electric wheel capacitors and gun barrels, which greatly enhances the power. Although it's not at the level of a heavy ion cannon, it should be no problem to hit low-Earth orbit." Yang Xiyi said.

Well, the Chimera has been hiding in the sea for a whole year. It couldn't even serve as a gun turret, but it still produced such an unexpected gain.

However, if you think about it carefully, this is actually very reasonable.

Even on the ordinary planet Lumina, the "Tyr Mine" with special entries was born. Why can't it be possible on Yaochi, a holy planet?
Yu Lian immediately thought of more technical issues: "Since we can strengthen the electric wheel capacitor and the gun barrel..."

"Yes, live ammunition weapons and energy weapons can be used interchangeably." Yang Xiyi said with a smile.

While the imperial warships in the sky and the troops on the ground were retreating, the soldiers of the 107th Division concentrated one hundred 107X and 50Y guns and launched a fierce artillery attack on the Shannan camp, kilometers away from Marshal Li's Gele.

This was perhaps the first time since the war began that the defenders had actively launched an artillery attack on the Imperial Army base.

At the same time, the soldiers of the 38th Division also rushed out from their ambush and began to chase the Imperial Army soldiers who had not yet completely retreated.

Two hours later, the imperial army was forced to abandon the Shannan camp.

So far, all the empire's strongholds and forward bases within a thousand miles of Marshal Li's Ger were forced to abandon.

Behind them, the red Pioneer Party flag and the blue Community flag fluttered on the high tower, as if forming a monument that was more ancient than the stars.

In short, this would certainly not be the first counterattack by Marshal Li’s defenders in Gler, but it would definitely be the most exciting one.

Of course, this scene was also captured by the reporter ship lurking in the planet's orbit.

"Long live the 38th Division!" Yu Lian raised his arms and shouted.

"It is indeed a glorious victory worthy of celebration, but aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Mr. Qi asked suspiciously.

"Victory is certainly a victory, but in fact there won't be much result. Compared with the surprise attack on the Shanbei camp last year, the imperial army suffered much less losses this time. They had already planned to abandon the Shannan camp." Yang Xiyi rationally poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Yu Lian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I know. But I just want to shout like this, and I have been holding it in for several years. You will never understand my feelings."

Mr. Qi and Teacher Yang naturally had nothing to say.

"Also, the 38th Division should also have a name." Mr. Qi nodded: "At first, I wanted to call it 'Iron Wall' or 'Great Wall' or something like that, but from what you said, I'll just call it 'Long Live Division'."

Yu Lian was very pleased, pleased because of this self-evident tacit understanding.

"Doesn't this have a bit of an imperial decree?" Yang Xiyi said.

Yu Lian pretended not to hear and continued, "So, the Empire has given up on the attack on Yaochi?"

"They have given up on the attack on Marshal Li Gele." Yang Xiyi said, "The person in charge of the Imperial Army in Yaochi is now a Major General Teshura. I haven't heard of his name, but I heard that he was the chief of security and military reclamation in the L4 colony star zone, and he has made great achievements."

It is somewhat abstract for a soldier to use "political achievements" to describe it, but it is not surprising considering that the empire has never lacked military control areas from colonies to the mainland, and the senior officers in charge are more like local chief executives.

Yu Lian was more familiar with this name.

"Kashura? His full name is Wuslin Kashura, right?"

"You also know such an unknown general? Your familiarity with the senior officers of the Imperial Army is probably comparable to the personnel director of the Grand Marshal's Office, right?"

This guy clearly wanted to say "King Su", but he changed his words just before he said it. Do you really think that a dignified saint like me couldn't see your lip shape?

Of course, having said that, General Wuslin Kesula does have an indissoluble bond with King Su.

In another timeline, he rose from sheriff to governor, and the L3 colony under his rule was the best-developed colony in the New World for a long time. After Queen Brunhild ascended the throne, he returned to the Imperial Capital Sky Realm and served as the Imperial Military Police Director and Minister of Police, then Minister of the Interior, and finally as Marshal and Deputy Prime Minister. He is also a very typical Tirello noble elite who has become a general and a prime minister.

He is not the type who is good at commanding troops, but he is very capable in rear-line support and service.

In short, judging from his resume, he should be very suitable for public security and is also good at development. His current position is more like the mayor of Yaochi than the commander of Yaochi.

Yu Lian suddenly realized: "The Empire gave up the attack on Marshal Li Gelu and simply kept a safe distance and started immigration and development in Yaochi?"

Yang Xiyi nodded. "Last week, they landed three immigration ships on the planet, bringing a large number of slave laborers, equipment, and security forces to start building settlements. The closest one to Marshal Li Gele is more than 5000 kilometers away."

No wonder the Empire began to ask its vassal states for their labor. The war-crazy master Tirello no longer wanted cannon fodder soldiers, but needed a large number of cattle and horses for farming, digging holes, and collecting ashes.

However, Yu Lian showed a headache. He was not afraid of the enemy's bravery, but he was afraid that the enemy would start construction slowly.

Mr. Qi said, "At their current pace, within a year, the number of imperial colonists on Yaochi will be more than ten times the number of Marshal Li's soldiers and civilians in Gele."

At that time, Marshal Li would not be able to defend Gele no matter what.

"In fact, it may be even faster. I heard that the reconstruction progress of Unity Fortress is also very good. At least it can provide supplies and maintenance to passing fleets. Now, General Mettig has officially served as the commander of the fleet stationed in Unity Fortress and the commander of the fortress garrison. He has also been promoted to lieutenant general. He is a powerful person. I fought guerrilla warfare with the Empire in the Dawn Star Region for a year, and his fleet was the most difficult to deal with and the hardest to find flaws. If he had more authority and more troops, I would be in trouble."

Mr. Qi said: "Since you have the potential to be a famous general, you will bloom sooner or later."

Yu Lian agreed, or rather, purely in terms of career, Mettig's career path was smoother on this timeline.

His record of repeated defeats but never collapsing was still very eye-catching. In the past, it seemed that his failures were caused by incompetent allies. Therefore, he was appreciated by his superiors faster than in his previous life and was quickly promoted.

The battlefield is a fierce fire that tempers true gold, and this is true for both the enemy and us.

Mr. Qi consoled them, "We should actually be thankful. If it were you two, when the first attack on Marshal Li Gelu went wrong, you would have adopted this tactic of waiting for the attack, right?"

Yu Lian smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, are you still saying that you don't know military affairs?"

Mr. Qi also smiled: "I really don't know much about military affairs, but at least I can see your expressions. The decision-makers of the empire made wrong decisions in the past year. Perhaps it was because of slowness, perhaps because of internal friction, or perhaps because of some other interests that outweighed military factors, but in any case, this bonus period is indeed over. However, we have already taken advantage of it for a year, so what else can't we be satisfied with? So..."

"so?"

"Just like you said, long live the 38th Division!"

Yu Lian felt that no matter how ignorant Mr. Qi was about military affairs, he must be the best defense chief.
