Interstellar Soldier

1097 The place to be fought
There is actually another reason why the commander of the Bingyu clan made this serious mistake, that is, he did not fully understand the defensive deployment of the defenders.

As the main army of the Bingyu clan launched an attack, Yu Qingyu once again adopted proactive defensive tactics.

In fact, Yu Qingyu's tactics are very simple. Use a small number of troops to defend the fortress, gather other troops, and launch a counterattack in a certain direction.Of course, Yu Qingyu did not launch a counterattack blindly, and chose a front with weaker enemy forces or loopholes every time.In addition, the counterattacks organized and initiated by Yu Qingyu himself were very limited, focusing on destroying the enemy's vital forces, rather than competing with the enemy for the initiative on the battlefield.To put it simply, the duration of each counterattack is extremely short, try to avoid entanglement with the enemy's main army, that is, hit and run.Most of the time, the counterattack lasts only a few hours, no more than a day at most.By the time the enemy reacted and took action, the counterattack troops had already withdrawn from the battlefield.

Of course, the counterattack location may not be near the fortress.

Don't forget, before the enemy came, the defenders not only built four fortresses, connecting passages between the four fortresses, but also built underground tunnels extending in all directions.It can be said that as long as Yu Qingyu is willing, a legion can appear anywhere on Shan Xing at any time.This vast network of tunnels was also the basis for counterattacks, which defenders could use to suddenly emerge behind enemy lines.

Just like this, in less than a month, the defenders annihilated and defeated hundreds of Bingyu clan legions through counterattacks, captured a large number of weapons and equipment, and completely shattered the enemy's attempt to win quickly.In contrast, the price paid by the defenders in the counterattack is so small that it can almost be ignored.

By this time, the commander of the Bingyu clan had a clear understanding.

However, when the commander of the Bingyu clan ordered to stop the attack and began to adjust the combat deployment, the situation on the battlefield had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Using the captured weapons and equipment, Yu Qingyu armed another [-] legions.More importantly, the defenders found a complete set of battlefield supply equipment on an enemy transport ship, and rushed to transport it back to the fortress before the enemy arrived.It can be said that this set of equipment has incomparably great value.

Very simple, this is a set of equipment that can be used to produce arms, that is, an arms production line.

Although for the Bingyu Clan Legion, the main value of this set of equipment is to repair damaged weapons and equipment, and it is only used to produce arms when necessary, but as long as some adjustments are made to the production process, local materials can be obtained, Used to manufacture munitions urgently needed by the defenders.Of course, it can also be used to modify the weapons and equipment of the Bingyu clan to make them suitable for human warriors.If there are supporting raw materials, it can even be used to produce engineering equipment.Although the garrison did not reserve much raw materials for the production of arms, there are various minerals on Shanxing, and these minerals can be used to manufacture various engineering equipment.In addition, the modified weapons can be used to arm more officers and soldiers.

It can be said that the captured equipment played a vital role in Yu Qingyu's ability to defend Yan Xing.

In the next six months, the Bingyu clan organized three large-scale attacks, and Yu Qingyu personally organized and commanded three defensive operations.Although the battle casualties of the defenders were very heavy, especially in the third defensive battle, the casualty rate of the main army was more than half, but the strength of the defenders not only did not decrease, but increased several times.In contrast, the military strength of the Bingyu clan is decreasing sharply.

By the end of the third large-scale offensive, there were less than [-] Bingyu clan legions that landed on Shanxing, and half of them were not full, and their strength was only one-third of the original.In contrast, the main force of the defending army has increased from ten to seventy, and the reserve army with combat effectiveness has reached two hundred, and the total strength is fifty times that at the beginning of the war.Although the strength of the defenders is still at a disadvantage, with a solid fortress and high morale, there is no longer any problem in defending Shan Xing, at least no one doubts it anymore.

However, the Bingyu clan did not choose to withdraw their troops.

After a short rest, the Bingyu clan launched an attack again, but this time it was not the legion, but the fleet that the defenders could not deal with.

The indiscriminate bombing lasted for three months, and the surface of Shan Xing was almost plowed by the Bingyu clan fleet with bombs.All the surface facilities of the four fortresses were blown up, and the underground tunnels were also severely damaged.However, the bombing by the Bingyu Clan did not force the defenders to surrender, but was despised by the defenders, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders.As for the facilities that were blown up, just spend more time rebuilding them.

To put it bluntly, it was just bombing, which was useless at all, because it was impossible for the Bingyu clan to occupy Shan Xing through bombing.

After three months of bombing, the enemy attacked again.However, this time it was not the Bingyu Clan Legion that acted as the main force, but the Kunyang Clan Legion.

It can be said that until this time, Yu Qingyu met a real opponent.

If the Bingyu clan is not good at ground combat, and their advantage is in space, that is, a powerful fleet, then the Kunyang clan is just the opposite.

Among the four second-rate top civilizations, the Kunyang Clan Legion has the strongest combat effectiveness.In the case of equal strength, no civilized army can compete with the Kunyang army.Not only now, even the legions of three first-class top civilizations are no exception.

Although there were only ten Kunyang tribes who came to Yanxing at that time, their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.

Fortunately, Yu Qingyu had already received the news and was ready.

In fact, it is not surprising that the Kunyang tribe sent troops to Yan Xing at this time.

It's very simple. In the past nearly a year, the Human Federation has invested heavily in other lines of defense, dismantling the attacks launched by the Kunyang Clan and the Wild Beast Clan one by one, and stabilizing the front line.Although the Human Federation is still at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, it is not so easy for the Kunyang Clan and the Wild Beast Clan to launch an attack again and make a breakthrough after the attack was thwarted. At least it will take some time to redeploy.At this moment, only the battle on Yan Xing is not over, or it is not the time to end.Even if the Bingyu Clan's attack was severely damaged, the losses were heavy, but the fleet that the Bingyu Clan relied on did not suffer any losses.As for the legion of the Bingyu clan, it was originally an auxiliary, so even if it suffered heavy losses, it would not have much impact on the fleet.

By this time, the situation was already clear at a glance.

To put it simply, unless the four second-rate top civilizations give up this round of attack, they can only make a fuss about the Shan star, such as concentrating their forces to capture the Shan star.

Yu Qingyu received a warning from the military when he was bombed by the fleet of the Bingyu clan.

At that time, the military department did not provide clear information, but only asked Yu Qingyu to prepare for encountering the Kunyang clan and the beast clan army, especially the former.The reason is very simple. The combat power of the Wild Beast Clan Legion is not as good as that of the Kunyang Clan Legion. It mainly relies on its superiority in strength. Therefore, the Wild Beast Clan Legion often makes a lot of noise when it is in action, and it is easy to find out.If the enemy's intention is to capture Shan Xing quickly without affecting other fronts, they will try to keep it as secret as possible. Therefore, it is likely that the Kunyang Army went to Shan Xing to support the Bingyu Army.At that time, the relevant information obtained by the Human Federation also proved that there was no major adjustment of the Beast Legion on other fronts.As for whether the deployment of the Kunyang Clan Legion has changed, even if there is not enough information, it cannot be denied, because the deployment of dozens of legions will not have a significant impact on the existing front, and dozens of Kunyang The clan army is enough to change the balance of troops on the Yan star.

In addition, the Human Federation is also ready to reinforce Shan Xing.

After the battles on other fronts, the Human Federation has been able to mobilize troops to support Shan Xing.If necessary, even send a fleet over.More importantly, the military has recognized the importance of Shan Xing.If the Kunyang army appeared on the Yan star, it would be more proof of the enemy's intention.Even if the military department has never taken the Bingyu Clan Legion seriously, it would never dare to underestimate the Kunyang Clan Legion.

In fact, the enemy made a serious mistake at this time.

If not ten, but a hundred, or even fifty Kunyang regiments were sent over at that time, they would be able to take down four fortresses in one fell swoop and occupy the entire Shan star.

Ten Kunyang clan legions can take down at most one fortress.

However, I have to admit that the Kunyang Clan Legion is indeed very powerful.

Although Yu Qingyu was well prepared and prepared for the worst, the result still exceeded his expectations. In less than a month, the first fortress was breached by the Kunyang Clan Army.The legions guarding the fortress fought until the last moment. Of the 15 officers and soldiers of the fifteen legions and the 50 reserve officers and soldiers who assisted, less than 1 escaped, and all the others died in battle.

You know, in the nearly one year before this, the total casualties of the defenders were less than 20.

It can be said that if it was fifty Kunyang clan legions that killed at that time, then in less than a month, the entire army of Shan Xing's defenders would be wiped out.

Fortunately, what Yu Qingyu had to do was to persist for a month.

After he sent the news, the military department immediately made a decision to rush to the rescue of Shan Xing, not only dispatching the main army, but also dispatching the fleet.

In fact, Shan Xing at that time had become a must.

For the Human Federation, as long as it can hold Shan Xing, it can hold the entire line of defense, forcing the enemy to give up this round of attack and spend more time preparing for the next round of attack, thus gaining a chance to breathe.For the four second-rate top civilizations, only by defeating the Shan star can a gap be opened in the direction of the Human Federation, and it can also pose a threat to the home galaxy, so that the Human Federation will have to spend a lot of troops and resources to plug this gap. It is impossible to invest enough troops in other directions, leaving more loopholes on the front.Simply put, whoever has Yan Xing will be able to control the initiative on the battlefield, thus gaining an advantage in the ensuing battle.

For this reason, this is no longer Yu Qingyu's battlefield, but the entire Human Federation's battlefield.
