Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 439
When dozens of people use their brains together, the efficiency is obviously much higher than that of one person.

After Yang Yi put it forward, everyone started discussing what you said and what I said, and proposed many methods, to be precise, ideas, some of which were simply whimsical.However, Yang Yi didn't interrupt or intervene.No matter who it was, and no matter how ridiculous the idea was, Yang Yi listened patiently.What is needed now is an idea, and Yang Yi doesn't care what kind of idea it is.

Anyway, it's 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 the communication equipment, but returned in time after completing the reconnaissance mission, and reported it face-to-face situation found.

However, most of the officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade did not bring back useful information.

The main reason is that the slag star is too big, and the coming large landing ships of the Lei Ling clan will only land in one place, so most of the officers and soldiers of the special investigation team made a waste of a trip.

Of course, not all.

A few hours later, two officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade who went to the "Weeping Basin" brought back the first piece of useful information.

The ones that arrived were indeed the large landing ships of the Lei Ling clan. There were three ships in total, and all of them went to the Weeping Basin.However, the two officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade did not enter the Weeping Basin, and after the landing ship arrived, they did not risk approaching according to Yang Yi's instructions, so it can only be concluded that the arrival of three ships can carry dozens of legions, or A large landing ship 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 when it lands.

It's just that the two officers and soldiers didn't figure out whether the three large landing ships were carrying legions or cargo.

One is that they are too far away, and the other is that they rushed back to report the situation.Of course, there must be ground troops, but the size of the ground troops is not clear.

Yang Yi and the others waited for a few more hours, and only after the last two officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade returned did they obtain accurate information.

The two officers and soldiers also went to the Weeping Basin, but they were on the other side of the basin.

The so-called basin is actually a huge crater, and it is thought to have been made.Thousands of years ago, in order to quickly exploit the buried underground mineral deposits, without the current technology, we could only adopt the most barbaric method, that is, to let a scrapped large transport spaceship collide at an extremely fast speed, hitting the ground on the ground. blast a hole large enough to expose buried veins of minerals.It's just that at that time, because the technology was extremely backward and the environment on Slag Planet was too harsh, even open-pit mining was very difficult.In the hundreds of years before and after, at least thousands of miners died here, and this crater has its current name.

However, this crater is extremely huge, with a radius of more than a thousand kilometers, so it is correct to say that it is a basin.

Unlike the two officers and soldiers who came back before, these two not only arrived at the Weeping Basin in advance, but also made a prediction when the three large landing ships appeared, that is, they concluded that the three large landing ships would land in the Weeping Basin, thus advancing Entered and ambushed in the basin.

The closer you are, the better you can see.

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 what the two officers and soldiers saw, the three landing ships brought ground troops, but the scale was not very large, at most the strength of three legions, and they were not the main force with strong combat effectiveness, because these three legions were mainly infantry. 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 the landing, the three legions that came with them first deployed the defense line.

It's just that the deployment was not strictly in accordance with the combat standards, but a large number of warning points were set up outside the basin, forming a sparse line of defense.

Apparently, this is standard procedure in Legion combat.

While the Legion was deploying its line of defense, the three landing ships began unloading.

Because of this, the two officers and soldiers knew that the landing ship had sent a large amount of engineering equipment and supplies.

In addition, there are a large number of engineering personnel.

However, the two officers and soldiers did not have much confidence in this.They can distinguish between engineering equipment and weaponry, but they don't know much about the engineers and soldiers of the Lei Ling tribe. They can only make judgments through their behavior, that is, the engineers were not sent to the periphery to perform security tasks.

In order to avoid being discovered, the two officers and soldiers slipped out while the enemy was unloading.

They were very lucky, because the officers and soldiers of the Leiling tribe who were in charge of guarding were very lax, and never thought that there were two human soldiers lurking in the basin.

According to the judgment of the two officers and soldiers, the fighters of the Railing tribe are very powerful, and all the officers have small-scale original energy converters. , None of the officers and soldiers of the Leiling tribe wore protective clothing.

To this, Otis gave the answer.

That is, the officers and soldiers of the Ralink clan are equipped with a kind of protective equipment driven by original energy, which can create an energy barrier, so there is no need for protective clothing.This kind of equipment is not considered advanced, but the Human Federation has not used it on a large scale, and there are similar equipment in the Legion of the Weaving Star Clan.

Because the enemy had already deployed a line of defense, the two officers and soldiers were delayed for some time when they withdrew.

When introducing the situation, the two officers and soldiers also marked their findings on the map, mainly the defense line deployed by the Leiling Clan Legion on the outskirts of the basin.

It is a circular line of defense, enclosing the entire basin.

Obviously, the Leiling Clan Legion took the Weeping Basin as a foothold, and planned 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's just an ordinary forward base, it's more ideal to set up a defense line in the basin.In the case of limited troops, shortening the line of defense can increase the strength of the defense, so as to more effectively deal with possible surprise attacks.

Of course, perhaps the enemy never expected to be attacked by surprise.

After the two officers and soldiers reported the situation, Yang Yi asked them to rest.

"Obviously, the conditions to start a war with the Leiling Clan Legion have been met." Yang Yi glanced at the officers and soldiers around, and said, "Judging from the current situation, the enemy plans to build a forward base here, and it is still a large forward base. At least a hundred legions can be accommodated."

Everyone listened carefully, but no one spoke.

"For us, there are two options." Yang Yi paused for a while, and waited for the others to turn around before continuing, "One is to launch an attack immediately. The enemy only has three legions, and they are ordinary legions. Carrying heavy equipment, even if the officers are all soldiers, we are the same, and we have a superior force, even if the combat effectiveness is slightly weaker, we can catch the enemy by surprise through surprise attacks. If the operation goes well, we can wipe out these three legions. Even if the situation is not as ideal as we imagined, we can still destroy the three landing ships, surround the three Leiling clan legions, and force the enemy to send other legions to come to the rescue."

"What about the other option?" Shen Chengwen asked.

Yang Yi pressed his hand and said, "It's just that even if the best situation occurs, it will be difficult for us to achieve a more brilliant victory. If the situation is not ideal, we will be attacked by the enemy. Obviously, with the strength in our hands, we are besieging When there are three legions in the basin, there must not be too many troops to deal with peripheral attacks. If we are attacked at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve the victory we want."

Shen Chengwen let out a sigh of relief, he also thought of this.

"Another option is to stand still and wait until the enemy builds an advanced base or even sends more legions, and then look for an opportunity to launch an attack."

"Could it be that the chances of winning are greater?" Yuyang was very puzzled and couldn't help asking.

In fact, this is also a problem for most of the staff.

If they couldn't even feed the three Lei Ling clan legions, then after the enemy increased their troops, the hope of victory would be even slimmer, and there would be nothing to fight.

"What is our purpose?"

Yuyang was taken aback for a moment, but still looked at Yang Yi incomprehensibly.

"Our purpose is not to eliminate how many Lei Ling clan legions here, nor is it to achieve much victory, but to hold down the Lei Ling clan's fleet so that the Wanluo War Emperor cannot rush to deal with the Weaving Star Clan fleet commanded by the Star Soul Empress in time. , so that the Weaving Star Clan fleet can reach the North Fourth District smoothly, and be able to rescue the Human Federation in time. As long as it succeeds, even if we suffer a disastrous defeat here, or even annihilate the entire army, it will be worth dying."

Before Yang Yi finished speaking, Yuyang nodded slightly, and he began to forget this.

"Obviously, we didn't come here to seek a decisive battle with the Leiling Clan Legion. More importantly, the way to achieve our goal is definitely not just a decisive battle, or even a decisive battle. In any case, we came here first, and before the Leiling Clan Legion Before arriving, we completed the detection of the interior of the planet, and we know the planet better than the enemy. All we have to do is to hold the enemy back, and the most effective way is to use our advantages to fight guerrilla warfare against the enemy.”

"Guerrilla warfare?" Otis frowned, very puzzled.

"Simply put, it is up to us to decide when to fight, where to fight, how large the fight is, and when to end the fight. As long as we can do these things, we can take the initiative on the battlefield and lead the Let the enemy go, so that the enemy can neither completely wipe out us, nor get rid of us, let alone withdraw smoothly. As long as we can contain a few legions, we will be considered successful."

Otis thought carefully, and nodded thoughtfully, probably understanding 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 started construction there, we don't have enough information on the battlefield, and we don't know what the enemy will do next. As for how to fight, we will wait until we deal with the enemy It’s not too late to make a decision after knowing more about it.”

No one objected, at least no one could suggest a better way.
