Although Yuyang recommends winning and pursuing, even if it cannot rely on ten legions to annihilate the hundreds of thousands of Silicon Charm fighters in the landing field, he can beat the enemy by surprise, hit the enemy’s morale and fighting spirit, disrupt the enemy’s deployment, and gain more time for the legion. Get a break. In addition, if you want to send troops to the Eastern Continent, you have to hit the enemy severely before that, and buy more time, and it is necessary to counterattack the landing field. However, Yang Yi did not adopt Yuyang's suggestion, but told the ten legions to immediately withdraw and enter the bunker to prepare for the early bombing. As for sending troops to the Eastern Continent, Yang Yi didn't even think about it, at least he didn't think about it at the time.
At the beginning, Yuyang didn't quite understand it.
It is not a problem to abandon the Eastern Continent, it is already in Yang Yi's plan. That is, the human legion on Feng Mars can hold two barracks at most, and it will be a matter of time before the other two barracks are abandoned. Because Fang Zhicheng is more active, Yang Yi is more likely to abandon the western and eastern continents.
The key is, why give up the opportunity to expand the results
You know, in the previous battle, Yang Yi and the others only killed dozens of warriors and captured the King of War, but did not destroy many Silicon Charm fighters. Although there is no commander of the warlord, the hundreds of thousands of Silicon Charm warriors are headless flies and do not pose much threat to the human legion. However, as long as one warlord is sent over, dozens of warriors can be added at most, which is hundreds of thousands. The Silicon Magic Warriors can be reorganized.
In Yuyang's view, we should take this opportunity to expand the scale of the counterattack, and strive to eliminate the enemy's vital forces as much as possible before the enemy is reorganized.
However, Yuyang soon discovered that he was too far behind Yang Yi.
After Yang Yi gave the order, the ten legions did not immediately retreat, but delayed some time. It is not that the soldiers of the ten legions do not obey the command, but the battle has just ended. The officers and soldiers are scattered on the battlefield and are collecting the spoils. Even if the officers act immediately, it will take some time to regroup the troops. In addition, the battlefield is so large that it is impossible for the scattered officers and soldiers to return to their troops immediately.
Although it was only delayed for less than two hours, these two hours were extremely fatal.
This is, just after the ten legions left the battlefield and before returning to the barracks, the bombardment of the Silicon Magic fleet arrived.
This time, the bombs dropped were not the small warships that entered the atmosphere of Beacon Mars, but the large warships that hovered in orbit and were too heavy to enter the atmosphere.
The bomb dropped was extremely powerful.
It can be said that what was dropped was not a bomb, but a meteorite, and that it was an asteroid.
In just a few minutes, hundreds of boulders with a mass of more than 10,000 tons fell down. Although all were intercepted by anti-aircraft fire and exploded before landing, the fragments of the boulder were still powerful. Not to mention ordinary officers and soldiers, even if they are soldiers, even if they are hit, they will be disabled even if they are not dead.
The bombing came too suddenly, and the ten legions had less than five minutes after the headquarter issued an alarm.
What can you do in five minutes
Even the soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade had to go all out to get back to the barracks within five minutes, which ordinary officers and soldiers simply couldn't do.
As a result, ten legions suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of the "meteorite rain".
Although Yang Yi sent Shen Chengwen and Otis in the first place, bringing the special investigation team and the female warrior guard to meet them, it was still too late when Shen Chengwen and Otis arrived. In the face of tens of thousands of comrades who died or were wounded, all they could do was to do their best to return the wounded to the barracks. In order for the wounded to receive timely treatment, Shen Chengwen had to order the temporary abandonment of the remains of the dead soldiers.
At this time, the medical equipment of the Star Weavers on the Yukage Ship played a vital role.
It can be said that if there is no such advanced medical equipment, few officers and soldiers of these ten corps will survive, because even those who survived by chance were seriously injured.
Even so, the casualties still exceeded everyone's expectations.
When he got the report from Yuyang, Yang Yi's hands were shaking.
In just a few minutes before and after the bombing, more than 30,000 officers and soldiers of the ten legions were killed, and nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers temporarily lost their combat effectiveness because of their injuries. Even more than 10,000 other officers and soldiers were slightly injured, and only a few officers were unscathed.
You know, in the previous battles, fewer than 1,000 soldiers were killed or injured.
The ten legions, even if the organizational system is still in place, have completely lost their combat effectiveness. Even if the seriously injured returned to the team, they couldn't return to their original state.
At this time, it was Yuyang who regretted the most.
When Yang Yi gave the order, if he did not insist on his own opinion, but immediately issued and executed the order, there would not be so much time delay. Perhaps ten legions would be able to return to the barracks in time. As long as they enter the bunker, even if they are bombed, there will be no such huge casualties.
But now is not the time to regret.
The bombing continued, and as before, the large warships outside the atmosphere dropped bombs. To be precise, they were rocks with a mass of more than 10,000 tons or even 100,000 tons. If the bombing continues, even if the barracks cannot be destroyed, the barracks can be flooded with meteorites.
In accordance with Yang Yi's instructions, Yuyang issued an order to the ten legions on the defense line to keep all officers and soldiers in the bunker and not to go out without an order.
At the same time, Yang Yi dispatched ten Liuying ships.
Although the barracks are protected by an energy barrier, they are not afraid of the enemy's energy weapons, but in the face of meteorites falling from the sky, the energy barrier is of little significance. It is the anti-aircraft weapons that protect the barracks, and the method is not very effective, that is, the anti-aircraft firepower can only crush the falling meteorites, but cannot intercept all the debris. Some larger fragments still pose a great threat, and can even destroy buildings in the barracks.
Air defense firepower alone is obviously far from enough.
According to Yang Yi's arrangement, ten Liuying ships were responsible for intercepting meteorites dropped by enemy ships at high altitudes. To be precise, they changed the falling direction of meteorites to make them fall outside the wilderness of the beasts.
The problem is that there are only ten Yukage ships, and there are countless meteorites smashed from the sky.
Where did the Silicon Magic Fleet get so many meteorites
Yang Yi was very puzzled, but couldn't think about it at this time.
Fortunately, the bombing cannot continue forever.
About four hours later, the bombing was over.
Although the ten Yukage ships went all out and the anti-aircraft firepower in the barracks fired at full speed, the barracks had become completely unrecognizable during the bombing that lasted for a full four hours. There were pits smashed by meteorites everywhere, and the ground Almost all the buildings above were destroyed.
It can be said that if the bombing continues for another four hours, I am afraid that all exposed buildings in the barracks will be completely wiped out.
Fortunately, the main facilities of the barracks are all underground, hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters from the surface. On top of some key facilities, there are domes for enhanced protection. In other words, these underground facilities have not been affected much, at least not severely damaged.
As for the officers and soldiers in the barracks, they are all hidden in underground shelters.
The casualties are not very large, but the defense facilities that can only be deployed on the ground, such as air defense positions and artillery positions, are no longer in use and must be rebuilt.
If it was not a big problem before, these surface facilities can be rebuilt within a few days at most. The problem is that the battle has started and the enemy has launched an offensive. It is certainly not easy to rebuild the surface infrastructure under the rain of bullets, and the enemy has found a way, and will focus on the situation in the barracks, focusing on targets that are threatening, such as air defense positions and artillery positions. Under such circumstances, rebuilding the surface infrastructure is not only extremely dangerous, it will definitely take much more time than usual.
Fortunately, Yang Yi has one of the best engineering commanders.
Don't forget, Carlson participated in the Fifth Greenwich War, was responsible for the construction of many barracks and fortresses, and fought on the front lines.
Prior to this, Carlson had anticipated this situation and specifically proposed to Yang Yi that the engineering units in the various corps, to be precise, the officers and soldiers with engineering experience, should be brought together to form a special engineering unit in order to fight. After the start, effective scheduling and arrangements can be made. Yang Yi met Carlsen's request and gave him sufficient power to let Carlsen personally command the engineering unit, and all the engineering equipment and materials would be dispatched by him. Simply put, as long as it is related to engineering, Carlson is responsible.
What Yang Yi has to do is to tell Carlson that those facilities should be repaired first, and which ones can be temporarily delayed.
After the bombing was over, Yang Yi immediately called Jackson over and asked him to send over the ten legions that had been sent to strengthen the perimeter defense line, to replace the ten legions that suffered heavy losses in the bombing, and to arrange a man to take over the barracks. Peripheral line of defense.
Of course, the candidate is readily available, and Jackson sent Buck.
In addition, Yang Yi also asked Jackson to draw the five worst trained and weakest combatants from the reserve team to Carlson, who was responsible for assisting Carlson to rebuild the infrastructure in the barracks. Although Carlson has an engineering unit, it is seriously understaffed. At least for now, the more manpower the better.
Next, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to recruit staff officers to discuss the next combat deployment.
According to the previous situation, after the bombing, the landing force of the Silicon Charm army will arrive. Twenty and one hundred legions had come before, so Yang Yi concluded that there must be more than one hundred Silicon Charm legions coming next, at least two hundred, and maybe three hundred. Whether it is two hundred or three hundred, it means that the barracks will be attacked more fiercely, and it also means that the next battle will be more fierce.
The point is that after the Simei army adjusted its bombing tactics, the previous defensive deployment was obviously no longer needed.
Not to mention anything else, if the Simei Legion launches an offensive during the bombing, then the human legion on the defensive line will not be able to enter the battle and will not be able to play a role.
Defensive tactics must be adjusted, and a feasible plan must be developed as soon as possible.
However, Yang Yi made a mistake. He thought of the enemy too simply, thinking that the Silicon Magic army would still launch an attack according to the previous routine.
