Chapter 536: Gains and losses

Views:

The enemy's commander was captured. Yang Yi did not miss this opportunity. On the way back, he gave an order to Yuyang to let the ten legions guarding the defense line launch a counterattack. Even if the troops are limited and can't wipe out all the landed Silicon Charms in one go, they can also kill the enemies outside the barracks. To be on the safe side, plus the Silicon Magic fleet is outside the atmosphere, reinforcements will be sent at any time, so Yang Yi left ten legions to continue guarding the defense line.

When Yang Yi returned to the headquarters, the counterattack had already begun.

The battle went smoothly, and Yuyang only sent ten legions according to Yang Yi's orders, but gathered all the heavy tanks. In front of four hundred heavy tanks, the defense line of the Silicon Charm Corps appeared fragile. However, the ten legions are indeed a little less. The point is that the officers and soldiers of the ten legions do not have much actual combat experience and have not fought back before. If it were not for the enemy's loss of fighting spirit, the Ten Human Corps would not only be unable to easily break through the Silicon Charm Corps' defenses, it would even be counterattacked by the enemy after losing the offensive, and suffered heavy losses. In fact, even if the Simei Warriors had lost the confidence to go on fighting, they did not raise their hands to surrender. The few surviving warriors organized the Silicon Charm fighters around them to fight the human legion in a desperate battle. More Simei fighters were broken up, but instead of surrendering, they fought to the last minute. Although the loss suffered by the human legions is minimal, it must take enough time to annihilate the Silicon Charm fighters of twenty legions. The fierce battle is still going on and will continue for some time.

Yuyang has made arrangements to prepare the ten legions that stayed behind the defense line for battle. In addition, after Jackson returned to the headquarters, he also selected the ten most powerful legions from the reserve team, ready to go to the battlefield to assist the frontline legions to annihilate the enemy. Besides, if necessary, Shen Chengwen can lead a special reconnaissance brigade into battle at any time, as well as Otis's female warrior guard.

There is no suspense to annihilate the twenty Silicon Charms, all it takes is time.

This is also a rare training opportunity for those human corps participating in a large-scale regular war for the first time, allowing officers and soldiers to face-to-face battles with Silicon Magic fighters. Not only can they gain valuable practical experience, but also gain confidence. When you encounter Silicon Charm Warriors again, you won't be at a loss.

With these in mind, Yang Yi did not intervene in the battle outside the barracks.

At this time, the other three military camps have sent reports.

Like Yang Yi's side, all three military camps on the other three continents were attacked.

The situation on the Northern Continent was the most ideal. Fang Zhicheng adopted similar tactics and achieved exciting results by taking the initiative to annihilate the vanguard of the Silicon Magic army. However, the main force of the Silicon Charm army arrived immediately, and Fang Zhicheng could only lead the army to retreat to the barracks. When Yang Yi ordered a counterattack, the reinforcements from the third theater commanded by Fang Zhicheng had already repelled the enemy's second attack. Although tens of thousands of Simei fighters were wiped out, the reinforcements in the third theater also suffered huge losses, with tens of thousands of soldiers casualties. Fortunately, the enemy did not immediately launch a third offensive, nor did they continue to shell and bomb the barracks.

In fact, it was precisely because the enemy suddenly stopped attacking that Fang Zhicheng was not at ease in his heart, so he sent a report and asked Yang Yi about the situation.

Relatively speaking, the fighting conditions of the other two barracks were not so ideal.

The Western Continent guarded by reinforcements in the first theater has been occupied by the Silicon Magic army. To be precise, the barracks are surrounded by the enemy, and the reinforcements in the first theater are fighting hard with the enemy. In fact, it is not that the enemy attacking the Western Continent is stronger, but that the reinforcements of the first theater missed the opportunity to counterattack. When Lieutenant General Howard discovered that the enemy's vanguard came first, and there were only twenty legions in total, the main force of the Silicon Charm army had arrived. As a result, when Huo Huade decided to launch a counterattack, the enemy had already gained a firm foothold. Fortunately, Huo Huade regained his sanity at a critical moment, and did not let the officers and soldiers of the first war zone go to death in order to save face. Based on the situation at the time, as long as Huo Huade allowed the troops to launch a counterattack, they would hit the main force of the Silicon Magic army. Not only could not defeat the enemy, but also suffered heavy losses. If this results in a large number of casualties, the reinforcements in the first theater will certainly not be able to hold the barracks.

According to the news sent by Huo Huade, the reinforcements in the first theater have suffered nearly 30,000 casualties. Five regiments have lost their combat effectiveness due to severe downsizing, and the combat effectiveness of the other five regiments has also been severely reduced. Although the outer defense line of the barracks is still in the hands of reinforcements in the first theater, more than half of the vital heavy artillery has been lost. Even if he still has the ability to continue fighting with the enemy, it will certainly not last long.

Without heavy weapons, it is impossible to cope with the enemy's large-scale attack.

Huo Huade clearly mentioned in the battle report that he hopes that Yang Yi can support some heavy weapons, preferably heavy artillery, and at least some heavy tanks. They may be able to block the enemy's two or three attacks, but if Yang Yi fails to provide timely support, the barracks will fall.

The point is that without heavy weapons, the morale of officers and soldiers guarding the barracks will soon collapse.

To put it bluntly, with only light weapons, the officers and soldiers on the line of defense simply cannot cope with the enemy's attack, and even cannot effectively counterattack the enemy.

Unable to fight back against the enemy, they can only be passively beaten, and even brave soldiers cannot hold on for long.

However, Huo Huade only asked for some heavy weapons. Although the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, Huo Huade still had enough troops in his hands. More importantly, the reinforcements in the first theater still controlled the outer defense line of the barracks, and did not let the Silicon Magic Corps advance half a step.

The situation on the Eastern Continent guarded by reinforcements from the Second Theater was not so ideal.

When Yang Yi received the news, the reinforcements of the second theater not only lost the landing field outside the barracks, but also lost ten corps in a failed counterattack. Almost 100,000 officers and soldiers were wiped out, and they became the Simei army. After launching the attack, he almost lost the outer defense line of the barracks. Although the reserve team sent in time regained part of the position, it failed to repel all the enemies. In other words, the reinforcements in the second theater are no longer able to use the outer line of defense to resist offensive enemies, and they are competing for the line of defense with the enemy. This situation will certainly not last long. After the main force of the Silicon Magic army is put into battle one after another, the entire outer line of defense will inevitably be lost.

Without a perimeter line of defense, reinforcements in the second theater have to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, fighting the enemy in the barracks.

Obviously, in this kind of battle where victory is determined solely by strength, the reinforcements of the second theater can't take advantage of it, let alone win.

Even worse, when the fighting on the other three continents temporarily ceased, the fighting on the Eastern Continent did not end. The Silicon Magic army launched an offensive desperately like a chicken blood. Although the reinforcements of the second theater fought desperately, they only temporarily stabilized the position. According to the battle report submitted by James, all the regiments sent from the second theater went into battle and used reserves. If the enemy continues to increase troops and Yang Yi does not send reinforcements, then the barracks will inevitably fall when the new force of the Silicon Magic army enters the battle. What James was talking about was impassioned, he was ready to survive and die with the barracks, and all officers and soldiers in the second theater would persist until the last minute. However, if the eastern continent falls, then two adjacent continents will also be attacked.

Obviously, what James needs is reinforcements.

Besides, if Yang Yi did not send reinforcements and the barracks guarded by reinforcements in the second theater fell, at least senior generals like James would not run away, because the commander’s escape would be a capital crime and would be stinking for thousands of years. If James is killed in battle, he will naturally not be held responsible. To put it bluntly, no one will find a general who died bravely to be held accountable, but the consequences caused by this will have to be borne by them.

It is with this judgment that James proposed in this way to let Yang Yi send troops to support.

Perhaps, in James' view, Yang Yi has no other choice at all, because the Eastern Continent is next to the Southern Continent where Yang Yi is located. After the fall of the Eastern Continent, Yang Yi still divided his troops to deal with the enemies killed from the Eastern Continent, and would not save his troops because he did not rescue the reinforcements in the second theater. On the contrary, if they can help the reinforcements of the second theater to defend the barracks, it will save a lot of troops.

When Yang Yi was considering whether to send troops to support James, Jackson rushed over.

He had already interrogated the King of War that Yang Yi had captured, but he had not obtained any valuable information. It just proved that Shen Chengwen had obtained the intelligence obtained by interrogating another King of War before. This is, Kutum is not here, the commander is a warlord who is related to Kutum. In addition, only a small part of the Silicon Charm army is landing on Feng Mars. There are at least thousands of legions in the Silicon Charm fleet.

In other words, the battle on Feng Mars has just begun.

On the issue of supporting reinforcements in the second theater, Jackson held a conservative attitude, that is, it is not yet the best time to send troops to the Eastern Continent.

In fact, Yang Yi thinks so too, otherwise he would not discuss with Jackson.

Subsequently, Yang Yi solicited the opinions of Shen Chengwen and Yuyang, both of whom did the same, thinking that it is not the time yet and there is no reason to use the strategic reserve team because of a report from James.

After making the decision, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to send a message to James.

Of course, Yang Yi did not directly reject James’ request. He just mentioned that it takes some time to organize the reserve team, and the battle on the southern continent has not ended. At least the reserve team must be organized after the enemy is defeated, and there will be a chance to prepare. The team successfully reached the Eastern Continent. To put it simply, no matter how big the problem is, James must persevere until the reserve team sent by Yang Yi arrives.

At this time, the fighting outside the barracks came to an end.

After several hours of hard fighting, ten human legions finally swept the enemy's positions and wiped out twenty silicon charm legions. Because there was no command of the warlord, and the warlord had no right to order a retreat, none of the 20 Simei Legions escaped.

It's just that this is just a battle.
