Dozens of people use their brains together, and the efficiency is obviously much higher than that of one person.
After Yang Yi put it forward, everyone discussed what you said and what I said, and put forward a lot of methods. To be precise, they were ideas, some of which were simply fantastic. However, Yang Yi did not interrupt or interfere. No matter who it is, and no matter how absurd the idea is, Yang Yi listened patiently. What is needed now is an idea, and Yang Yi doesn't care what kind of idea it is.
In any case, it is better to have an idea than no idea.
While Yang Yi and the others were discussing, the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade who had gone out for reconnaissance also rushed back one after another.
To be on the safe side, the main thing is not to be discovered by the enemy, especially before the Lei Ling clan’s legion landed, so Yang Yi did not let the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade use communication equipment, but returned in time after completing the reconnaissance mission and reported in person. Found the situation.
However, most of the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade did not bring back useful information.
The main reason was that the slag star was too big, and the large Leiling clan landing ships that arrived would only land in one place, so most of the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade made a trip in vain.
Of course, not all.
A few hours later, two officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade heading to the "Crying Basin" brought back the first piece of useful information.
What arrived was indeed a large landing ship of the Lei Ling clan, there were three in total, and all of them went to the Weeping Basin. However, the two officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade did not enter the crying basin, and after the landing ship arrived, they did not risk approaching according to Yang Yi's instructions, so they could only conclude that the three ships that could carry dozens of legions, or Large landing ships with tens of millions of tons of equipment and cargo, and they are all fully loaded.
The load can be judged by the propulsion power of the landing ship during landing.
However, the two officers and soldiers did not figure out whether the three large landing ships were carrying legions or cargo.
One was that they were too far away, and the other was that they rushed back to report the situation. Of course, there must be ground forces, but the size of the ground forces is not clear.
Yang Yi and the others waited for a few more hours until the last two officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade returned before obtaining accurate information.
The two officers and soldiers also went to the Weeping Basin, only on the other side of the basin.
The so-called basin is actually a huge crater, and it is thought to be made. Thousands of years ago, in order to quickly mine buried minerals, without the current technology, we had to adopt the most barbarous method, that is, to make a large, scrapped transport spacecraft hit at a very fast speed and hit the ground. Blast a hole large enough to expose the buried veins. Only at that time, because the technology was extremely backward, and the environment on the slag star was too harsh, even open-pit mining was very difficult. For hundreds of years, at least thousands of miners were killed here, and this crater has its current name.
However, this crater is extremely huge, with a radius of more than one thousand kilometers, so it is correct to say that it is a basin.
Unlike the two officers and soldiers who came back before, the two men not only rushed to the Weeping Basin in advance, but also made a prediction when three large landing ships appeared, that is, they concluded that the three large landing ships will land in the Weeping Basin in advance. Enter and lie in ambush in the basin.
Get closer and see more clearly.
In addition, after the landing of the three large landing ships, the two officers and soldiers could not leave immediately and had to hide.
According to the observations of the two officers and soldiers, the three landing ships brought ground troops, but the scale was not very large, at most three legions, and it was not the main force with strong combat effectiveness, because these three legions were dominated by infantry. There is not much heavy equipment. More importantly, the three landing ships sent a large amount of engineering equipment, mainly heavy equipment, and brought a lot of materials needed for infrastructure construction.
After landing, the three regiments that came with them first deployed their defense lines.
However, the deployment was not strictly in accordance with the combat standards, but a large number of guard points were set up on the periphery of the basin to form a sparse line of defense.
Obviously, this is the standard procedure for legionary operations.
At the same time as the Legion deployed its defense lines, the three landing ships began to unload.
Just like this, the two officers and soldiers knew that the landing ship had sent a large amount of engineering equipment and materials.
In addition, there are a large number of engineering personnel.
However, the two officers and soldiers were not very sure about this. They can distinguish between engineering equipment and weaponry, but they don't know much about the engineers and soldiers of the Leiling clan. They can only make judgments through behavior, that is, the engineers are not sent to the periphery to perform alert tasks.
In order to avoid being discovered, two officers and soldiers slipped out while the enemy was unloading the cargo.
They were very lucky, because the officers and soldiers of the Lei Ling clan who were in charge of the guard were very lax, and they never thought that there were two human soldiers lurking in the basin.
According to the judgment of the two officers and soldiers, the soldiers of the Lei Ling clan are very powerful. All officers have small power converters. Even soldiers who are not equipped with small power converters have some kind of extremely advanced power equipment. , The officers and soldiers of the Lei Ling clan did not wear protective clothing.
In this regard, Otis gave the answer.
That is, the officers and soldiers of the Lei Ling clan are equipped with a protective device driven by primal energy, which can create an energy barrier, and there is no need for protective clothing. This kind of equipment is not advanced, but the Human Federation is not used on a large scale, and similar equipment is also available in the Star Weavers' army.
Because the enemy had already deployed a line of defense, the two officers and soldiers delayed some time when they withdrew.
When introducing the situation, the two officers and soldiers also marked their findings on the map, mainly the line of defense deployed by the Leiling Clan Corps on the periphery of the basin.
It is a circular line of defense, enclosing the entire basin.
Obviously, the Lei Ling Clan Army took the Weeping Basin as a foothold and prepared to build a forward base here, and it was a huge forward base. Otherwise, there is no need to enclose the entire basin. If it is just an ordinary forward base, it would be more ideal to set up a line of defense in the basin. In the case of limited forces, shortening the line of defense can increase the strength of defense, so as to more effectively deal with possible sudden attacks.
Of course, perhaps the enemy had never thought of being attacked suddenly.
After the two officers and soldiers reported the situation, Yang Yi let them go to rest.
"Obviously, the conditions for a war with the Lei Ling Clan Corps are already in place." Yang Yi glanced at the officers and soldiers around him, and said, "Judging from the current situation, the enemy intends to build a forward base here, or a large forward base. It can hold at least hundreds of legions."
Everyone listened carefully, no one spoke.
"For us, there are two options." Yang Yi paused for a while, and waited for the other people's thinking to turn, before continuing, "One is to launch an offensive immediately. The enemy has only three legions, and they are ordinary legions. Carrying heavy equipment, even if the officers are all soldiers, we are the same, and we have the advantage of military strength, even if the combat effectiveness is slightly weaker, we can hit the enemy by surprise by surprise. If the action goes well, we can wipe out these three legions. Even if the situation is not as ideal as we imagined, it can destroy the three landing ships, surround the three Lei Ling legions, and force the enemy to send other legions to rescue."
"What about another option?" Shen Chengwen asked.
Yang Yi pressed his hand down and said: "It's just that even if the most ideal situation arises, it is difficult for us to achieve a more brilliant victory. If the situation is not ideal, we will suffer the enemy back and forth. Obviously, with the strength of our hands, we are besieging When there were three legions in the basin, they certainly didn't have much force to deal with the attack on the periphery. If they were attacked at this time, it would be difficult to achieve the victory we wanted."
Shen Chengwen let out a sigh, he also thought of this.
"Another option is to stay on hold and wait for the enemy to build a forward base, or even send more corps, then look for opportunities to launch an offensive."
"Is it more likely to win?" Yuyang was puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
In fact, this is also a problem for most of the staff.
If even the three Leiling clan legions can't eat it, then after the enemy increases its troops, the hope of victory will be even thinner, and there will be nothing to fight.
"What is our purpose?"
Yuyang was taken aback for a moment, but still looked at Yang Yi without much understanding.
"Our goal is not to eliminate how many Lei Ling clan army groups here, nor to achieve much victory, but to drag the Lei Ling clan fleet, so that the King Wanluo cannot rush to deal with the Star Weaver Clan fleet commanded by the Star Soul Queen in time. , So that the Star Weavers fleet can reach the Northern Fourth District smoothly, and be able to rescue the Human Federation in time. As long as it succeeds, even if we suffer a miserable defeat here, or even annihilate the entire army, it will be worthwhile.
Before Yang Yi finished speaking, Yuyang nodded slightly, and he began to forget this.
"Obviously, we are not here to seek a decisive battle with the Leiling Legion. More importantly, the way to achieve our goal is definitely not just a decisive battle, or even a decisive battle. Anyway, we are here first, and in the Leiling Legion. Before arriving, we completed the exploration of the inside of the planet, knowing the planet better than the enemy. All we have to do is to hold the enemy, and the most effective way is to use our advantage to fight the enemy in guerrilla warfare."
"Guerrilla warfare?" Otis frowned, very puzzled.
"Simply put, it is up to us to decide when to fight, where to fight, the scale of the fight, and when to end the fight. As long as we can achieve these points, we can grasp the initiative on the battlefield and hold If the enemy leaves, the enemy can neither completely destroy us nor get rid of us, let alone withdraw smoothly. As long as we can contain a few legions, we will be successful."
Otis thought about it carefully, and nodded thoughtfully, probably because he understood what Yang Yi meant.
"Of course, this is just my imagination. Although we already know that the enemy has gone to the Weeping Plains and is engaged in construction there, we do not have enough battlefield intelligence and do not know what the enemy will do next. As for how to fight, wait for us to fight the enemy. It’s not too late to make a decision when you have more understanding."
There is no objection, at least no one can suggest a better way.
