Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 869 Race against time
According to Yang Yi's request, Yuyang formulated a battle plan.However, due to time constraints, the content of this plan is not very detailed.In order to reduce the problems of combat operations caused by mistakes in the command link, Yuyang can only make a fuss about the task arrangement.In this regard, Yang Yi is also helpless. After all, commanding thousands of legions to fight is by no means a joke.

The main attack task is the Silicon Charm army commanded by the Dragon God Empress, with a total of more than 8000 legions.

However, before the Dragon God Empress appeared, the Human Expeditionary Force had to be responsible for clearing the obstacles on the marching route and creating conditions for the main attacking force to enter the battle.To put it simply, it is to remove the strongholds near the target star system, and clean up the silicon ghost warships that have fallen in the outer reaches of the star system.If necessary, enter the star system to attack the enemy's stronghold and destroy the enemies near several major planets.

Obviously, only the human expeditionary force can carry out this kind of raid mission, to be precise, it is the main force of the expeditionary force.

In fact, the main army of the Human Expeditionary Army is already an absolute assistant, even surpassing the main army of the Weaving Star Clan.It's very simple, the officers and soldiers of the Human Expeditionary Force are all fighters, and the officers and soldiers of the main army all have space fighters.Whether it is on the space battlefield or on the ground battlefield, these legions composed of fighters and equipped with space fighters have super combat effectiveness.It can even be said that the expeditionary force has been able to persist until now, to a large extent, because these main armies can always go into battle at critical moments, change the balance of strength on the battlefield, deter the enemy from attacking, and even regain some lost ground through counterattacks.

It is a pity that the strength of the human expeditionary force is not enough, and the main force is even less.

At the beginning of the expedition, only twenty legions of the human expedition entered the Northern Alpha Galaxy, and only two of them could be considered the main force.Of course, strictly speaking, they were not the main armies, because at that time the two armies were only equipped with enough small-scale energy converters, and the officers and soldiers were all fighters, and they were not equipped with space fighters.It's just that the other eighteen legions at that time didn't even have enough small-scale energy converters. Only the officers were soldiers, and the soldiers were all ordinary soldiers. Therefore, in terms of combat power, these two legions could be regarded as the main force at that time.More importantly, these two legions were the first to obtain space fighters and the first to have complete combat effectiveness.

Since then, as the Yu family began to mass-produce small energy converters and space fighters, more legions were armed.More importantly, in order to stabilize the front line and hold the bridgehead with decisive value, after Yang Yi left, another 180 legions of the expeditionary force also went to the Northern Alpha Galaxy.Although they did not catch up with the initial battles, all of these legions participated in the later battles.

However, when Yang Yi came back, only 94 of the 96 legions were armed.Even counting the small original energy converters and space fighters brought by Yang Yi, only [-] legions have reached full combat capability.For the other [-] legions, not to mention reaching full combat power, only about one-tenth of the total force's senior officers are soldiers with small original energy converters.

Obviously, compared to the vast battlefield, the strength of the human expeditionary force is simply a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, behind the Human Expeditionary Army there are [-] Weaving Star Tribe legions, and the even larger Silicon Charm Legion, which can reach tens of thousands at most.

For Yang Yi, the Human Expeditionary Force is an elite force.

Although in the short term, Yang Yi can't solve the problem of lack of weapons and equipment for the expeditionary force, especially the problem of small-scale original energy converters and space fighters, but as long as they are used reasonably, the 96 legions that have reached full combat power can do a lot, because this is A full 96 soldiers.

Of course, how to use it reasonably is another question.

It is precisely because of the limitation of military strength that the human expeditionary force cannot serve as the main force.In fact, this is also the key point why Yang Yi must support the Dragon God Queen.To put it more seriously, with the strength of the Human Expeditionary Army, even if the [-] legions of the Weaving Star Clan are counted, at most they can only defend the current star system, and it is barely maintained.Although Yang Yi is here, he can stabilize the front line, but it will definitely be very disadvantageous to fight the enemy.Don't forget, after the route was cut off, it was impossible for Yang Yi to get reinforcements from the rear.There will always be casualties in battle, but the enemy can get a steady stream of replenishment.In a war of attrition, Yang Yi will soon lose all the chips in his hand.

However, consumption is definitely unavoidable.

For this reason, Yang Yi can only reuse the Dragon God Queen, and reuse those silicon charm legions loyal to the Dragon God Queen.

It can be said that Yang Yi has no other choice at all.

Yuyang and the others are not stupid. Although Yang Yi did not explicitly mention this, Yuyang had already thought of this when Yang Yi repeatedly emphasized the importance of the Dragon Goddess and the Silicon Charm Legion. This was done out of necessity, in order to reduce the battle casualties between the Human Expeditionary Army and the Weaving Star Clan, to persist longer, and to allow the officers and soldiers to return to their relatives one day in the future.

However, it is obviously impossible for the Silicon Charm Legion under the Dragon God Empress to shoulder the heavy burden.

That's why Yuyang proposed that the main force of the Human Expeditionary Army act as the vanguard to clear the obstacles on the way forward for the main force, and Yang Yi agreed.In addition, the Weaving Star Clan Legion will launch feint attacks on other origins at the same time to attract and contain the enemy's forces, and prevent the enemy from increasing their troops to the battlefield when necessary.Although Yuyang felt that part of the troops should be drawn from the Human Expeditionary Army and the Weaving Star Clan Legion to form a reserve team to deal with unexpected situations, but Yang Yi didn't think it was necessary. Also did not insist.The key is that Yang Yi's purpose of launching this counterattack is not to seize that star system.

According to Yang Yi's deployment, the purpose of this counterattack is to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, do his best to kill and injure the enemy, and eliminate the enemy's vital forces, so as to prevent the enemy from launching new attacks in the near future.Simply put, it is through this counterattack that the enemy cannot immediately launch a general offensive.

It can also be said that Yang Yi's purpose is to buy time.

Although in the long run, it is extremely unfavorable to delay the Human Expeditionary Force, but in the short term, Yang Yi still needs enough time to adjust his deployment.

To put it bluntly, the current battlefield situation is a dead game for the human expeditionary force.

Because each star system is separated by the enemy, resulting in serious dispersion of troops, so as long as the enemy launches another attack, the scattered legions are likely to be wiped out.Although it is mainly the Weaving Star Clan Legion, for Yang Yi, the Weaving Star Clan Legion is more important than the Human Expeditionary Army.It's not that the Weaving Star Clan's army is more powerful, but the survival of the Weaving Star Clan's legion will determine the Weaving Star Clan's position.

Regarding this question, Yang Yi made it very clear.

In this way, before launching a full-scale counterattack, it is necessary to fill in the loopholes in the defense line and connect the star systems separated by the enemy. It will also take enough time, and it must be ensured that the enemy cannot launch new attacks during this period. That is to grasp the initiative on the battlefield.

In fact, this is also the main reason why Yang Yi advocated launching a counterattack against the enemy's heavily guarded star system.

Only through such a counterattack, by killing a large number of the enemy's vital forces and destroying the enemy's army, can the enemy lose the necessary troops to launch an attack, and can severely damage the enemy's morale and fighting spirit, and even force the enemy to spend a lot of time adjusting deployment. .

The purpose is very clear, but in Yuyang's view, it is very difficult to achieve this purpose.

The key is not whether the Human Expeditionary Force can complete the mission, but whether the main Silicon Charm Legion can complete the mission within a limited time.

It's very simple, the enemy will not be beaten passively, after being attacked, he will definitely stand up and resist.

Because of the limited force, even if there is the Star Weaving Clan Legion to hold back the outer area, the Human Expeditionary Army is responsible for the cover, and there is not much time left for the main attacking force. Therefore, can we quickly complete the counterattack mission, achieve the goal of the counterattack, and then promptly send the army into battle? Withdrawing is the key.

Obviously, this is also the biggest problem.

In Yuyang's words, if the main force is the Human Expeditionary Army, he will not have the slightest worry, because even if it is not the main force, it still has enough combat power and can fight with higher efficiency, so it can use shorter time to complete the task.In addition, the human expeditionary force does not have many troops, because it can guarantee speed when entering and withdrawing from the battle, and the requirements for transportation power are not too high. Even if there is trouble, it can be withdrawn quickly to avoid Being entangled with the enemy will not turn into a protracted war of attrition.The problem is that the main force is the Silicon Charm Legion, and the combat efficiency of the Silicon Charm Legion is obviously far inferior to that of the Human Expeditionary Army.It takes more time to deploy when it is put into battle, and it also takes more time and more transportation force when it is withdrawn.Besides, if there is a problem in the command link, it will definitely be a disaster if you command thousands of Silicon Charm legions to fight at the same time.What made Yuyang even more troubled was that Yang Yi didn't give him enough time, so he couldn't make the battle plan more detailed.From Yuyang's point of view, there is no detailed battle plan, not even a battle plan, and it's strange that more than 8000 silicon demon legions have no problems.

Yang Yi also knew what Yuyang was worried about, but he didn't give Yuyang more time.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to these issues, but that he doesn't have more time.

If Yang Yi was just worried before that, then he was not just worried when the scouts led by Shen Chengwen brought back the war king.

That is, the news that Yang Yi came to the Northern Alpha Galaxy has spread, and it has already attracted the attention of the Phantom Ghost Emperor.

According to the account of the unlucky war king, the phantom ghost emperor is already adjusting the deployment of troops, and there are various signs that the time for the general attack has been advanced.It's just that that guy is just a battle king, he has never seen the Phantom Ghost King, and he is not qualified to participate in the formulation of a battle plan.All he knew were rumors, but it was enough for Yang Yi to make a judgment, that is, his arrival had forced the Phantom Ghost Emperor to launch a general attack in advance.

Now, it depends on who can launch the attack first.
