Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 164
With the last humanoid rock devil killed, the battle came to an end.

After the ambient temperature dropped, the nine thousand humanoid rock demons in the nine phalanxes advanced less than 800 meters, and finally all fell about 200 meters away from the second line of defense.Obviously, this was not an evenly matched battle at all, it was almost a one-sided massacre.Although the defenders suffered some casualties, they were not serious.More importantly, the defenders were not routed and the outer defenses were retaken after the enemy had been eliminated.

Such battles have been repeated dozens of times.

After the battle, Karl immediately issued an order to transport the enemy's body to the outer defense line before the enemy's body had completely cooled down, so as to strengthen the outer line of defense.Afterwards, Karl also adjusted the deployment of troops on the defense line, and brought up a small team serving as a reserve team to ensure that the officers and soldiers on the defense line had enough energy to cope with the next attack that might come at any time.

After doing this, Karl took Yang Yi and the others back to the base command center.

Although the enemy's attack was repelled, Yang Yi was very puzzled.

Obviously, an attack of this nature has no value at all except for extremely heavy losses.Although in the Silicon Charm Alliance, humanoid rock demons are consumable cannon fodder, it is obviously not advisable to lose [-] humanoid rock demons for no reason.

What is the enemy's purpose?
Consume the strength of the defenders?

If this is the case, they should directly shell the defense line of the defenders, especially before the humanoid rock demon advances to the second line of defense, directly bombard the second line of defense of the defenders, killing and injuring the exposed defenders.It doesn't even need to dispatch so many humanoid rock demons, as long as the defenders can be forced to leave the solid bunker and exposed to the line of defense, they can kill and injure the defenders' officers and soldiers through long-range bombardment, consuming the defenders' vital strength.

Of course, the Silicon Charm Legion has never paid much attention to tactics.

In the past several Greenwich Wars, the tactics of the Silicon Magic Alliance were very simple, and most of the time they used relatively simple storm tactics.

To put it bluntly, it is to invest an overwhelming majority of troops to capture the enemy's position in one go.

The problem is that if the enemy chooses to attack by force, they should invest in more powerful units, such as the Iron Armored Berserker, which is more suitable for offensive operations.

Although the tactics of the Silicon Charm Alliance are very simple, there are many types of arms, and the coordinated combat capabilities of multiple arms are also very powerful.In the past several Greenwich Wars, the most commonly used attacking tactic of the Silicon Charm Legion was to let the armored mad battle open the way, and the humanoid rock demon followed up and was responsible for cleaning up the remaining enemies on the battlefield.To contend with it, the human legion had to use heavy weapons such as heavy tanks and a solid line of defense.Even so, in many cases, the human legion has to pay a very heavy price to repel the enemy.

It can be said that as long as the enemy attacks by force, the defense line of the defenders will be penetrated.

Obviously, Karl was right. The enemy never launched a formal attack at all. The previous dozens of attacks were just testing the defenders.

Of course, it is also to suppress the defenders, so that the defenders have no time to care about others.

If this is the case, I am afraid that the situation at the Nanjixing base will be very critical.

Even if the enemy has an earth dragon, it will take enough time to create a tunnel leading to the center of the earth. It is obviously not as cost-effective as directly capturing the Nanjixing base.

With these worries, Yang Yi couldn't be happy at all.

In fact, Yang Yi thought of another question.

After the enemy blocked the Prometheus star, they did not attack with all their strength, showing that they had full confidence in destroying the defenders and occupying the Prometheus star.In other words, the enemy is not worried about reinforcements from the first theater, and even thinks that the first theater will not send reinforcements.

Perhaps, this is the enemy's purpose!
Help around the point.

Back at the command center, Yang Yi expressed his concern.

"There is indeed such a possibility." Carl said without refuting, "Actually, we have already thought of it before. The problem is that the entire planet has been blocked by the enemy, and communication has also been interrupted. Even if we guessed the enemy's intentions, we can't It is impossible to contact the rear. Besides, the Prometheus star has irreplaceable strategic value and must not be lost. Even if it knows that the enemy has set up an ambush, the theater command will send reinforcements over."

"It's not that simple."

Carl was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Shen Chengwen.

"Perhaps, the enemy's purpose is not to consume the mobile forces of the First Theater."

"You mean..."

"The importance of the Prometheus star is actually mainly for the first theater. In other words, if the Prometheus star is lost, the first theater must make adjustments to the deployment of the Greenwich defense line, and in the When launching a counterattack in the future, the Prometheus star should be recovered first. If we look at the entire Greenwich defense line and take the third theater and the second theater into consideration, the importance of the Prometheus star is very limited. Imagine if we start from The center of the Greenwich defense line launches a counterattack and breaks through the enemy's defense line. What is the value of Prometheus?" Shen Chengwen paused for a while, and then said, "No matter how stupid the enemy commander is, he can still think of it. Even if we wiped out the mobile troops in the first theater, it would not be a decisive victory. If we delay too much time here, let us finish the war mobilization calmly, and even prepare for the counterattack, then what happened here The battle will be the beginning of the defeat of the Silicon Magic Alliance. Judging from the whole war, the enemy either does not want to attack Prometheus, or wins it in one fell swoop."

"The issue is……"

"Unless, the purpose of attacking Prometheus is to make a fuss."

Yang Yi was slightly taken aback, Shen Chengwen's analysis was exactly the same as Lin Feng's previous judgment.

"Of course, no matter what, we have to hold on until the reinforcements from the first theater arrive." Shen Chengwen took a long breath. "I suggest to act according to the original plan. After figuring out the enemy's deployment, launch a counterattack first, disrupt the enemy's offensive deployment, prevent the enemy from launching a large-scale attack immediately, and ensure that the Polaris base is safe. As for whether to go to support The Nanjixing base, we'll see the situation."

When Shen Chengwen said this, no one else objected.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the "Shadow" to have news.

When Yang Yi and others arrived, Lin Feng had already processed the photos sent back by the "Shadow", and combined with the topographic map provided by the base command, marked the enemy's deployment situation on the three-dimensional map, and also checked the enemy's A basic analysis of the distribution of troops was made.

It's just that the "Shadow" didn't fly very far.

It is also understandable that the Prometheus star has been blocked by the Silicon Magic Alliance, and there are enemy probes everywhere.Although the "Shadow" has advanced performance, in order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the flight speed must be controlled well, and it mainly flies in the ionosphere.

The enemy's ground forces are mainly concentrated near the Polaris base, and there are indeed a large number of legions in the canyon mentioned by Karl.In addition, the enemy has also deployed a strict monitoring network around the Polaris base, and there are more than a thousand outposts stationed by the enemy.

"Don't you find it strange?"

Yang Yi frowned, and the others didn't say anything.

"I asked Allen to analyze the previous battle examples. From the perspective of deployment, the purpose of the Silicon Magic Legion is not to capture the Polaris Base, but to besiege and blockade the Polaris Base for a long time." Lin Feng marked several blockade lines on the map . "The force is very scattered, and there is not a lot of forward investment. This is not an offensive deployment, but a defensive deployment. Simply put, it is mainly aimed at counterattacks that the base defenders may launch."

"So, our previous analysis was not wrong." Yang Yi said.

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Yang Yi.

"We just repelled an enemy attack. The enemy invested all humanoid rock demons. A legion was wiped out before advancing to the second line of defense." Yang Yi paused for a while and said, "We I feel that the enemy's goal is to block the Prometheus star to deal with the support troops of the first theater. Of course, it may also be a slap in the face, let us focus on the west of the Greenwich defense line."

"In this case, we have to get in touch with the theater command as soon as possible."

"Communications have been interrupted. Unless the 'Shadow' leaves Prometheus, we will not be able to report the situation to the theater command." Yang Yi glanced at Lin Feng and said, "Besides, even if we immediately report to the theater command Get in touch, it might be too late."

"This……"

"That's not something we should worry about." Shen Chengwen sighed, and said, "What we need to consider is how to defend the Prometheus star."

"Old Shen is right." Yang Yi nodded slightly, and said, "Thinking too much is not good for us. Besides, if we can defend the Prometheus star, it will cause some troubles for the Silicon Charm Legion, so that If the battle situation develops in the direction opposite to the enemy's expectation, the enemy's plot can be crushed."

This time, even Carl showed a look of surprise.

"If our conjecture is correct, then the enemy must feel that they can rest easy by besieging the Polaris base. What if that's not the case?" Yang Yi sneered and said, "If the defenders of the Polaris base haven't given up fighting and the encirclement loopholes There were many attacks, and even the Silicon Demon Legion stationed on Prometheus was threatened. Simply put, the garrison at the base defeated the enemy before the reinforcements from the first theater arrived and crushed the enemy's attack. Then, the enemy's deployment did not matter. In any sense, it is impossible to achieve the goal of attacking the west by besieging the Prometheus star. Losing the initiative, the Silicon Magic Alliance must make adjustments to the deployment according to the battle situation."

"Your analysis is correct, but how can you defeat the enemy?"

"Here." Yang Yi pointed to the canyon on the map. "Let's start here and let those stone heads of the Silicon Magic Alliance know how powerful human soldiers are."

Not to mention Carl, even Lin Feng, Shen Chengwen and Jackson were shocked, but they had to admit that Yang Yi's proposal was indeed feasible.
