Although in the Human Federation, no one does not know the Beacon Star offensive and defensive battle thousands of years ago, but when it comes to understanding, I am afraid that many people do not know the details. The point is that after the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the federal authorities hyped up the decisive battles in the later stages of the war, such as the "Peace Dawn" campaign, and did not focus on the campaigns in the early stages of the war. In fact, this is understandable. Because the lighthouse star offensive and defensive battle is commanded by Xiao Wentian, and after the war, it is rising stars such as Zhan Ruilin who dominate the human federation. If the publicity focuses on the Beacon Star offensive and defensive warfare, the people will regard Xiao Wentian as the savior of the human federation and ignore the contributions made by Zhan Ruilin and others.
Most of the civilians only know the offensive and defensive warfare of the Beacon Star, but do not know the specific situation.
In the early days of the Beacon Star offensive and defensive war, when Xiao Wentian led the human army to the Beacon Star, the problems faced were almost exactly the same as the situation Yang Yi was facing now. Simply put, Xiao Wentian had to use limited forces to fight the invading Silicon Magic army without preparation. If he is defeated at the Beacon Star, then the Home Galaxy will be attacked, and the Human Federation will be destroyed by the enemy.
In fact, the situation at that time was even worse.
When Xiao Wentian organized the Human Legion, all other civilizations in the North Fourth District had been destroyed by the Silicon Charm army, leaving only the Human Federation. Even worse, under the obstruction of the Lei Ling and the Star Weavers, the Galactic Alliance Council did not reach an agreement on sending troops to participate in the war. Only the Hidden Spirits support the human federation, but they only provide indirect assistance, that is, they mainly provide assistance to the Silicon Charm army. Intelligence related to operational deployment.
In other words, when Xiao Wentian led the Human Legion to the Beacon Star, there was no outside aid at all.
Even so, Xiao Wentian did not back down, and he had no room to back down.
As with the problems Yang Yi is facing now, what Xiao Wentian who came to Lighthouse Star lacks most is time. Although the Galactic Alliance did not make a decision on sending troops to participate in the war, the Hidden Spirit Race has already taken action. Top and advanced civilizations such as the Lei Ling and Star Weavers have all begun to mobilize for war. What Xiao Wentian had to do was to guard the Beacon Star and insist on sending troops to other civilizations in the Galactic Alliance to join the war.
To this end, Xiao Wentian made a crucial decision.
This is, deliberately abandoning part of the lighthouse star, let the Silicon Charm army land on the lighthouse star, and then engage the enemy on the ground.
It can be said that this move is extremely risky.
You know, Xiao Wentian had only one hundred legions brought to the Beacon Star, and when Xiao Wentian came back, the morale of the human federation had collapsed, and most of the main legions deployed in the colonial galaxy were destroyed. . In other words, almost all those who followed Xiao Wentian to the Lighthouse Star were newly-built legions. Not to mention actual combat experience, even morale was a big problem. No one believed that Xiao Wentian could use these corps to guard the Lighthouse Star.
Based on the circumstances at the time, it was even more important to guard the Beacon Star to prevent the enemy from landing on the Beacon Star. For those inexperienced and low morale regiments, if they fight to the death with the enemy on the ground, they may be directly defeated. Even if Xiao Wentian had extraordinary talents, it was impossible to organize the disintegrated legion to continue fighting. If the enemy can be prevented from landing and the new army can be trained through small-scale ground battles, there are still some chances of winning.
However, Xiao Wentian did the opposite, abandoning the perimeter defense line from the very beginning, fighting the enemy on the Beacon Star.
It is undeniable that the Human Legion suffered extremely heavy losses as a result. In the first few large-scale battles, all the 100 legions that were the first to go to the Beacon Star were severely damaged. Nearly half of the legions were even dismantled due to heavy casualties, and the rest had little combat effectiveness. Although no one has an accurate number of casualties, of the 1 million officers and soldiers who first went to Beacon Star, fewer than 100,000 survived to the second year. It is also undeniable that Xiao Wentian's deployment is the key to the human legion's defense of the lighthouse star. After the first year of fierce fighting, the human legion not only was not defeated, but also established a firm foothold on the lighthouse star, and through the fierce battles in the early stage, a large number of grassroots officers and soldiers with actual combat experience have been trained. It was at this time that Zhan Ruilin and others emerged, and they were valued and reused by Xiao Wentian. More importantly, after successfully landing on the Beacon Star, the commander of the Silicon Magic Army believes that the occupation of the Beacon Star is just around the corner, and it is not difficult to destroy the human legions on the Beacon Star, and no extreme means are used. It is precisely by using this that Xiao Wentian successfully contained the main force of the Silicon Charm army and stayed at the Beacon Star for fifty years, until the other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance completed the war mobilization. Based on the situation at the time, if Xiao Wentian tried his best to prevent the enemy from landing on Beacon Star from the beginning, no matter what the result was, he would not be able to lead the human army to stay on Beacon Star for fifty years.
Obviously, Xiao Wentian adopted a tactic of retreat for advancement.
Now, the same is true for Yang Yi.
If you do your utmost to prevent the Silicon Magic army from landing on Fengshui Mars, even if it succeeds, it can only force the enemy to use extreme means to destroy Fengshui Mars, and even the entire Wolfsmoke galaxy. Even with the support of the Star Weavers, a hundred large SSS-class primordial energy converters are used to create an energy barrier covering the entire Feng Martian, but it may not be able to keep the Feng Martian, at least no one can guarantee that this energy barrier can be maintained.
This is also the case, Yang Yi proposed to abandon some places and let the enemy land on Feng Martian.
After Shen Chengwen introduced the lighthouse star offensive and defensive war, Yuyang also understood and knew that Yang Yi was following Xiao Wentian.
After clarifying the situation, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to arrange defensive deployment.
In fact, Yang Yi is in a much better situation than Xiao Wentian back then. In addition to the support of the Yu Family and the Star Weaver, he also has a group of capable assistants.
When it comes to defensive deployment, the most important thing is definitely Carlson.
The next day, Carlson submitted a complete and detailed deployment plan.
There are a total of four continents on Mars. The land accounts for 70% of the planet's surface area. The only oceans are intercontinental seas. According to the plan submitted by Carlson, a fortress-level barracks will be built on each continent, and then some smaller barracks will be built according to the actual situation, thereby constructing a complete defense system on each continent. In addition, using the advanced technology provided by the Star Weavers, a stable space bridge is built between the four fortress-level barracks to facilitate communication and mobilization of troops quickly and quickly. In Carlson's words, as long as these barracks are built, the defense of Feng Martian will be unbreakable. No matter where the enemy lands, no matter which fortress-level barracks the enemy attacks, legions on other continents can quickly rush to support them and use the outlying camps to counterattack. Simply put, this deployment plan can maximize the combat effectiveness of limited forces and ensure operational flexibility.
In fact, this is exactly the standard defensive tactics of the Lei Ling Clan Army.
It can be said that as long as Carlson's vision becomes a reality, Yang Yi can use four hundred and fifty legions to guard the beacon Mars for a long time.
The problem is that it takes a lot of time to turn Carlson's vision into reality.
According to Carlson's estimate, it will take at least three months to complete the construction of all barracks, and no accidents can occur during this period.
Obviously, this is impossible.
After discussing with Carlson, Yuyang, Shen Chengwen, and Otis, Yang Yi adjusted Carlson's plan to focus on fortress-level barracks, while the construction of outlying barracks was temporarily abandoned. Simply put, first complete the four fortress-level barracks, and then build outlying barracks if you have time.
Although there is no outer barracks, the fortress-level barracks in the center will be besieged by the enemy, but as long as enough defensive troops and heavy weapons are deployed, it is not impossible to block the attacks of the Silicon Magic army, but a higher price is required, especially casualties.
Time is limited, and Yang Yi has no other choice.
In any case, if there is no fortress-level barracks as support, no matter how many outer barracks are built, it will not be able to stop the onslaught of the Silicon Magic army.
After the defensive deployment was determined, Yang Yi asked Carlson to proceed with the construction of the project.
In order to speed up the progress, Yang Yi handed over all the corps that could be mobilized to Carlson, and also asked Yuyang to go back to ensure that the engineering equipment and materials could be delivered in time.
In addition, Yang Yi also arranged a task for Otis, that is, ten liuying ships led some fast spacecraft sent by the Yu family to form a patrol fleet to patrol the outskirts of the Wolfsmoke galaxy, so as to discover the Simei fleet in time and let The defensive forces on Feng Mars are ready for battle.
Yang Yi can only prepare for the battle, and when the battle will start, that is, when the enemy will arrive, he doesn't know.
Ten days later, all four fortress-level barracks have taken shape.
Although only the basic construction has been completed, many defensive facilities have not been completed, and the vital heavy defensive weapons have not been deployed in place, but with these four fortress-level barracks, Yang Yi has obtained the capital to fight the enemy hard, at least in the flames Have a big fight on the stars.
It was also on this day that the First Support Army arrived.
It is not a regiment sent by the third theater, nor is it a regiment from other theaters, but a civilian armed force from the Champagne Galaxy, and the commander-in-chief is Jackson.
This is the first time Yang Yi has seen Jackson since returning to his home galaxy.
When the old friends meet, naturally, they will ask for warmth. It's just that the reinforcements provided by the resistance group that Jackson brought have greater significance.
Although there are not many troops, there are only ten legions in total, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong. Most of the officers and soldiers were civilians before the outbreak of the war. Only a few officers came from the local garrison, and the equipment was not advanced. In addition to the necessary light weapons, only a few The heavy weapons provided by the Yu Family, but for the Legion on Feng Mars, the arrival of reinforcements was originally extraordinary, at least it showed that they were not fighting alone.
In other words, the symbolic meaning of this support army is greater.
Of course, Jackson brought not only reinforcements, but also the latest news, as well as some good things that can invigorate the military and boost morale.
