When the military camps on the Eastern Continent were captured by the Silicon Magic army, the military camps on the Western Continent were also attacked.
Fortunately, Huo Huade is a little smarter than James, and also a little more sensible.
Like the battle on the eastern continent, on the western continent, the landing force of the Silicon Magic Army arrived before the end of the bombing and launched an offensive. Although like James, Huo Huade ordered the legions on the outer defense line to be put into battle at the first time, but unlike James, Huo Huade did not let other legions launch counterattacks after discovering that the enemy had not stopped bombing. It allowed the reserve team to enter the inner line of defense. As a result, after losing the outer line of defense, the reinforcements of the first theater defended the inner line of defense. However, Huo Huade's action was a little late. When the Silicon Magic army advanced to the inner line of defense and launched an offensive, only ten legions entered the line of defense, and only part of the troops were deployed in place. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of these ten regiments fought hard to get some time, otherwise, before the arrival of the other ten regiments, the enemy might have broken through the inner line of defense.
However, the huge gap in the strength of the two sides made Huo Huade's efforts meaningless.
Although the four barracks designed by Carlson and built in accordance with the strictest standards of the Lei Ling Clan Corps, they have not only the outer line of defense, but a complete set of defensive facilities. Simply put, the entire barracks are defensive positions, even in the outer After the line of defense falls, it can also rely on the infrastructure inside the barracks for defense. However, due to time constraints, the construction of the four barracks has not been completed, nor can it be completed. In order to ensure the timely construction of the outer defense line, Carlson could only postpone the construction of the defense facilities inside the barracks in accordance with Yang Yi's requirements. If the battle situation develops smoothly and the human legion defends the outer defense line for a while, it will be able to complete the construction of internal defense facilities.
In fact, this is exactly what Yang Yi deployed.
Simply put, it is to stay on the outer line of defense as long as possible, strive to complete the defense construction within the barracks, and then rely on the entire barracks to fight the enemy.
The problem is, it takes time.
More importantly, it is not the Lei Ling Clan Army that guards the barracks, but the Human Army.
Although 20 legions were dispatched, half of the reserve team was used, and the inner defensive positions were entered in time, but in the face of hundreds of Simei legions, the reinforcements of the first theater could not last long. When the ten legions that arrived first lost their combat effectiveness due to heavy casualties, and the other ten legions were bombed and shelled and could not enter the battlefield in time, the inner defensive positions were also broken by the enemy.
Fortunately, the reinforcements in the first theater of war held at least ten hours on the inner line of defense.
After the inner line of defense was breached by the Silicon Charm Corps, Huo Huade sent a signal for help, and in accordance with the defense plan formulated by Yang Yi, began to organize the retreat of the legion.
It was not until this time that Yang Yi knew that there were as many as five hundred Simei Legions attacking Western military camps!
More importantly, through the battle report sent by Huo Huade, Yang Yi learned about the enemy's offensive tactics.
Using the bombing and the first army to be sent out, the Silicon Charm army effectively consumed the troops deployed by the human army on the outer line of defense.
To put it bluntly, the Silicon Charm Army that took the lead in launching the attack was just a decoy, or cannon fodder.
According to the battle report submitted by Huo Huade, there were only ten Silicon Charms that launched an offensive before the end of the bombing, and there would be no more than twenty at most. For this reason, Huo Huade believes that the army that has been deployed on the defensive line can be used to block the enemy, without adding troops to the outer defensive line. Although in the fierce bombing, these Silicon Charm Army also suffered extremely heavy losses, and it could even be said that the entire army was annihilated, but they also played extremely great value. Among other things, the human legions on the outer defense line left the bunker during the bombing and entered the surface position, without exception, suffered huge casualties, and even lost their combat effectiveness. As a result, when the main force of the Silicon Magic army came up, there were no more troops available on the outer defense line. Because of the threat of bombing and shelling, even if Huo Huade knew that the outer line of defense was already shaky, he could not send the reserve team up, and he would not be able to defend the outer line of defense.
If there is no inner line of defense, then Western military camps have also fallen.
It can be said that the reinforcements in the first theater can last for more than ten hours, except that Huo Huade did not command random, the key is the inner line of defense.
Of course, the key is still that Huo Huade did not confuse himself.
When Jackson arrived with reinforcements, the army commanded by Huo Huade had retreated to the vicinity of the space channel, relying on temporary positions to fight the enemy.
Although the reinforcements in the first theater have suffered heavy losses, the reinforcements in the other two theaters are similar. Of the nearly 100 corps guarding the western military camps, fewer than 20 have a complete system, and at least half a million officers and soldiers have been casualties or missing. The remaining officers and soldiers did not lose their fighting spirit, at least they did not despair.
According to Yang Yi's arrangement, Jackson let the reserve team take over the position.
Huo Huade was still there, and most of the senior officers were alive. The retreat went smoothly without much trouble, but it took some time.
Because the situation was under control, Yang Yi did not go to the Western military camp.
This battle lasted for two full days.
In fact, all the defenders of the western barracks were withdrawn on the same day. However, Yang Yi did not let Jackson immediately withdraw with the reserve team, but let Jackson defend one more day. This is not to eliminate more enemies, but to clarify the enemy's offensive deployment.
The southern barracks where the headquarters is located, and the northern barracks guarded by reinforcements in the third theater were not attacked.
At this point, Yang Yi had to believe that the enemy had mastered the defensive deployment of the human army, knowing that the defenses of the Western and Eastern military camps were the weakest.
Of course, Yang Yi is not worried about this.
Quite simply, in his plan, abandoning the eastern and western continents is not only a matter of time, but also inevitable.
The point is that with Yang Yi's strength, it is impossible to defend four barracks at the same time. It would be great to be able to defend two. More importantly, if there is no way to land on Feng Mars and a landing field cannot be established, then after suffering heavy losses, the Silicon Magic army may not continue to attack, and it is likely to resort to extreme measures. Although it is protected by an energy barrier, and the original energy provided by one hundred large SSS-class primordial energy converters is sufficient to maintain the space stability of the entire Wolfsmoke galaxy, as long as the Silicon Charm army is determined, there is still a way to destroy the Martian. For example, try to transport an asteroid from a nearby star system, and use the asteroid to hit Beacon Mars.
However, Yang Yi did not expect that all this would come so quickly.
You know, this battle has only been fought for a few days.
Although Yang Yi hadn't had much hope for the reinforcements sent by the first and second theaters before, in his opinion, no matter how bad it is, he can hold on for a few months, at least half a month. More importantly, these regiments can rely on solid barracks to consume the enemy's strength and defeat the enemy's spirit. As long as you can hold on for a while and cause the enemy to suffer heavy losses, the subsequent battle will be much easier.
Don't forget, Yang Yi's goal is not to destroy the Silicon Charm army here, but to persist until the reinforcements arrive.
Simply put, what Yang Yi has to do is to defend Feng Martian so that the enemy cannot retreat through Feng Martian. Even if the enemy's purpose is not to retreat from here, stick to it. When the Human Federation has regained all the colonial galaxies, and when the main force of the Star Weavers arrives, they will be able to encircle and wipe out the Silicon Charm army near Feng Mars. That's why Yang Yi did not take the elimination of the enemy as the main goal when formulating the defense plan. Everything revolved around guarding the barracks. The fundamental goal was to hold on for longer, and he could even make certain sacrifices for this. Abandoning part of the barracks and letting the enemy land on Feng Mars is actually to buy time through ground warfare.
It is a pity that the two military camps were only guarded for a few days.
Although in the past few days of fighting, a large number of Silicon Charms have been eliminated. According to Yuyang's statistics, the defenders of the four barracks have eliminated at least three million Silicon Charm fighters in battle, that is, three hundred Silicon Charm legions. But the human legion has also paid a very heavy price for this. The defenders in the Eastern Barracks were almost completely annihilated, and fewer than 100,000 were withdrawn. The situation in the western military camps is slightly better, but not much better. Of the approximately 300,000 officers and soldiers who were withdrawn, only less than 200,000 were able to continue fighting, and more than 100,000 were disabled because of their combat effectiveness. Even if we can use the medical equipment of the Star Clan to fully recover most of the disabled soldiers, it will take enough time.
In addition, the reserve team also suffered a lot of casualties.
In the two rescue operations, Jackson mobilized 20 regiments of the reserve team. Tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and tens of thousands of soldiers were injured.
Of course, morale is more severely affected.
Although the army directly commanded by Yang Yi has not been affected much, and the problem of the reserve team is not very big, but this is only temporary. Most of the soldiers who withdrew from the Eastern and Western military camps have lost the confidence to fight, let alone the hope of winning. As long as the pessimism spreads, it will inevitably affect other soldiers, and it will inevitably cause the morale of the army to be shaken.
What Yang Yi can do is try to convince the officers and soldiers that they can achieve the final victory.
As for how long this situation can last, Yang Yi has no idea.
So, how should the next battle be fought
After Jackson returned with the broken reserve team, Yang Yi gathered everyone together and sent someone to invite Fang Zhicheng over.
Now, there are only two military camps left, no matter how he fights next, Yang Yi cannot abandon Fang Zhicheng.
More importantly, after losing the Eastern and Western military camps, the northern military camp must not have any slips. If there is only one barracks left, it will be besieged by the enemy. Even if there are enough troops, it is impossible to insist on the arrival of reinforcements under embarrassed circumstances.
So, no matter how you fight, you should discuss with Fang Zhicheng, and at least get Fang Zhicheng's support.
