Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 1096 Evidence of advance and retreat
The battle to defend the Yan star lasted for ten years, but the key was the first year.

When the fleet and legion of the Bingyu tribe arrived, Yu Qingyu was already ready for the battle, and through the initial effective counterattack, he effectively disrupted the enemy's offensive deployment and bought precious time for the defensive troops.By the time the enemy managed to gain a firm foothold on Shan Xing, the defenders had all retreated to the fortress, and several solid lines of defense had been built. The enemy would be facing a vicious battle.

Regarding this war, the Human Federation has detailed records.

In general, after discovering that the human legion had already stationed on Shan Xing and established a solid fortress, the Bingyu clan revised their attack plan and did not launch an attack immediately, but planned to wait until the successor troops arrived before attacking the fortress.It's a pity that the enemy is facing Yu Qingyu.After discovering that the enemy started to adjust the offensive deployment, Yu Qingyu immediately organized a reserve team and launched a counterattack when the enemy was unprepared.Although the goal of destroying the enemy's life in large numbers was not achieved, through this counterattack, Yu Qingyu once again disrupted the enemy's offensive deployment.To put it simply, it is to make the enemy have to spend more time to understand the human legion guarding the Shan star.

Yu Qingyu did win more time, and using this time, the human legion guarding Shan Xing strengthened the defense deployment of the fortress.However, compared to another consequence of this counterattack, the time gained is not worth the candle.

After suffering two disastrous defeats in a row, the enemy had a deeper understanding of Shan Xing and realized that more troops needed to be invested.

As a result, in the next three months, the Bingyu clan sent thousands of legions.

Although during this period, the human legion tried its best to strengthen the defense deployment of several fortresses, and mobilized a large number of refugees to participate in the construction of the project, but the problems of insufficient troops and lack of materials have not been essentially resolved.Especially after the fleet of the Bingyu clan arrived, the human federation's transport spaceship could no longer approach the Shan star, and it was unable to deliver combat supplies to the defenders.Yu Qingyu had to rely on limited strength and limited supplies to resist a thousand Bingyu clan legions.Obviously, just relying on a strong fortress will not last long.More importantly, the fortress has already been built, so there are still three months of preparation time, and there are still loopholes in the defense deployment of the fortress.

At that time, the biggest problem was military strength and supplies, especially military supplies such as weapons and ammunition.

Although the federal authorities and the military have relaxed the restrictions on Yan Xing's garrison, that is, Yu Qingyu, allowing him to form a legion according to combat needs and providing necessary support, such as recognizing the grassroots officers appointed by Yu Qingyu, but in the army When the domain clan army came, only ten legions in Yu Qingyu's hands had basic weapons and equipment to form combat effectiveness, and other temporarily formed legions did not have combat capabilities due to various problems.In other words, Yu Qingyu will use the strength of ten legions to resist a thousand Bingyu clan legions.Even if there are enough refugees in Shanxing, and most of the refugees have received military training, they can fight the enemy with weapons.The problem is that these refugees who can barely be regarded as a reserve force are not the main force at all, and it is impossible to become very brave immediately after going to the battlefield.

Relatively speaking, the problem of materials is more serious.

If there are enough weapons, even if they are only light weapons used to arm infantry, Yu Qingyu can arm more officers and soldiers and form more legions before the battle starts.It is precisely because there are not enough weapons that Yu Qingyu is also helpless. He can only organize those refugees who have received training into the reserve team.Before that, Yu Qingyu was still counting on the Human Federation, hoping that the military could send more weapons and equipment in time.It's a pity that after the Bingyu Clan fleet arrived, the route was cut off. Not only the military headquarters, but even the Yu family dared not let the transport spaceship take the risk of going to Shanxing.To put it bluntly, as long as the Bingyu clan fleet is near the Shan star, the human federation's transport spaceship will not be able to reach the Shan star smoothly.

In fact, this is also the key reason why Yu Qingyu had to actively launch a counterattack in the early stage of the war.

Of course, it is not only to buy more time to strengthen the defense deployment, but also to obtain more weapons and equipment to arm more soldiers.

To put it simply, it is to use captured weapons and equipment to arm the officers and soldiers of the reserve team.

This is a no-way approach, and the effect is not very ideal.

In the first two stages of counterattacks, the defenders under Commander Yu Qingyu wiped out and defeated dozens of Bingyu clan legions, and captured a large amount of weapons and equipment, but not many of them could be used by the defenders.According to relevant records, only five reserve legions were armed at that time.

The key point is that the weapons and equipment of the Bingyu clan, especially the weapons and equipment provided to the infantry, are not quite the same as those of the Human Federation.

In fact, this is also understandable. After all, the Bingyu tribe and humans are two completely different races, and there is a huge difference in body shape.Of course, these captured weapons are not useless, some of them can be used by human warriors after slight modification, and more can be used to arm warriors of other civilizations.Don't forget that most of the refugees on Shan come from other civilizations.This is also the case, among the reserve legions formed by Yu Qingyu, almost all of them are of foreign races, and almost all human fighters are compiled in the main force.It's a pity that compared to the [-] legions of the Bingyu clan, the five armed reserve legions are just a drop in the bucket.

When a thousand legions of the Bingyu tribe came to Shan Xing aggressively, Yu Qingyu only had fifteen legions with relatively complete combat effectiveness in his hands.Although there are hundreds of reserve legions, none of them have formed combat effectiveness, let alone the weapons and equipment used to arm these reserve officers and soldiers.

Obviously, the disparity in strength of more than sixty times is too great.

It is also true that from the very beginning, the federal authorities, especially the high-level military officials, were not optimistic about Yu Qingyu, thinking that Yu Qingyu was just a car in Shan Xing.If there is any value in the human army commanded by Yu Qingyu, it is just to buy some time to adjust the defense deployment.As for how much time can be won, that is unknown, and the military department still did not pay attention to the thousand Bingyu clan legions at that time.To put it simply, even if Shan Xing is captured by the enemy, there are still thousands of light-years away from the home galaxy, and a thousand Bingyu clan legions can at most capture some strongholds along this route.At that time, it will still have to rely on the legions of the Kunyang clan and the wild beast clan to attack the home galaxy.In other words, as long as the Kunyang clan and the wild beast clan have not sent troops, the threat is not very serious.Even if the Kunyang Clan and the Wild Beast Clan send troops to Shan Xing, it will take a lot of time to attack Shan Xing before marching to the home galaxy.

It can be seen from this that the military did not expect Yu Qingyu to be able to block the enemy's advance in Yanxing.

As for supporting Yu Qingyu to guard Shan Xing, it is naturally impossible.Judging from the situation at the time, even if the route was not cut off and the transport spacecraft could still reach the Shan star smoothly, the military would not send precious troops to the Shan star, but would use it to establish a new line of defense in the rear.

However, Yu Qingyu didn't think so, at least he never thought of giving up Shan Xing.

With the arrival of the enemy's main army, Yu Qingyu changed his previous active tactics and withdrew all the army back, putting on a posture of relying on the fortress to defend.Of course, judging from the situation at the time, when facing the army of the Bingyu clan sixty times larger than oneself, they had no choice but to defend the fortress.

You know, the human legion has always been known for being good at defense.

As early as thousands of years ago, the Human Legion, under the command of Generalissimo Xiao Wentian, fought an arduous defensive battle on the Lighthouse Star, smashing the attempt of the Silicon Magic Alliance to quickly destroy the Human Federation, and fighting for the other civilizations of the Milky Way Alliance. Time to complete the mobilization for war.It can be said that as long as a solid line of defense is built, the human legion can make the enemy pay ten times, or even a hundred times the price in battle.

Obviously, the commander of the Bingyu tribe also made a similar judgment, that is, the Yan Xing defenders retreated to the fortress, indicating that they had abandoned the place outside the fortress and would rely on the fortress for the final battle.So for the Bingyu Clan Legion, the next thing to do is to lay down these fortresses.For this reason, the Bingyu Clan Legion did not launch an attack immediately, but began to prepare for the attack on the fort in an orderly manner.

In fact, this is what Yu Qingyu wants to achieve.

It's very simple. If the enemy wants to occupy Shan Xing, it is obviously not enough to occupy the place outside the fortress. The fortress guarded by the human legion must be taken down.As long as there is a fortress under the control of the human legion, there will be no peaceful days for the Bingyu tribe stationed in Shan Xing.More importantly, the Bingyu clan attacked Shan star not only to occupy Shan star, but also to turn Shan star into a bridgehead to enter the home galaxy.Therefore, after occupying the Shan star, there will be a lot of construction, even to transform the Shan star into a fortress, and it is necessary to completely control the Shan star, that is, to eliminate all enemies on the Shan star.The problem is that Shan Xing is a planet, and it has accommodated tens of millions of refugees before, and there are enough places for the defenders to hide.Obviously, just laying down the fortress is not enough, the defenders in the fortress must also be eliminated.

For this reason, the Bingyu clan army surrounded four forts at the same time, and was also preparing to attack the four fortresses at the same time.

From the perspective of military strength, it is not a problem to attack four forts at the same time. Even if they are evenly distributed, 250 legions can attack a fortress. Even if some troops need to be reserved as a reserve team, 150 to [-] legions can attack a fortress.

The problem is that it is obviously a big trouble to organize so many legions to launch attacks in four locations at the same time, and they have to be coordinated.Don't forget, the advantage of the Bingyu clan is the fleet, not the legion.Even if the Bingyu clan has the most advanced technology, it cannot make up for the lack of experience.In fact, the commander of the Bingyu Clan decided to attack four forts at the same time. He had made a mistake, and it was still a huge mistake.It's very simple, this not only adds trouble to oneself, but also provides an opportunity for the opponent to counterattack, allowing the opponent to avoid the most important and focus on a certain battlefield, so as to gain an advantage in military strength at a certain critical moment.

Obviously, Yu Qingyu had expected this.
