Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 521
Although no one in the Federation of Humans knows about the offensive and defensive battle of the Lighthouse Star thousands of years ago, when it comes to understanding, many people probably don't know the details.The key point is that after the end of the Fifth Greenwich War, the federal authorities publicized the decisive battles in the later period of the war, such as the "Dawn of Peace" campaign, and did not focus on the battles in the early stage of the war.In fact, this is also understandable.Because Xiao Wentian commanded the offensive and defensive battle of Lighthouse Star, and Zhan Ruilin and other up-and-comers will dominate the Human Federation after the war.If the publicity is focused on the lighthouse star offensive and defensive battle, the public will regard Xiao Wentian as the savior of the Human Federation, and thus ignore the contributions made by Zhan Ruilin and others.

Most common people only know about the lighthouse star offensive and defensive battle, and don't understand the specific situation.

At the beginning of the lighthouse star offensive and defensive battle, when Xiao Wentian led the human army to the lighthouse star, the problems he faced were almost exactly the same as what Yang Yi was facing now.To put it simply, Xiao Wentian had to use his limited force to fight against the invading army of silicon demons without any preparation.If he is defeated on the lighthouse star, then the home galaxy will be attacked, and the human federation will be attacked by the enemy.

In fact, the situation was even worse then.

When Xiao Wentian organized the human legion, the other civilizations in the fourth northern district had been conquered by the army of silicon demons, leaving only the human federation.What's more terrible is that under the obstruction of the Leiling Clan and the Weaving Star Clan, the Galactic Federation Council did not reach an agreement on sending troops to join the war. Only the Hidden Spirit Clan supported the Human Federation, but they only provided indirect assistance, that is, they mainly provided assistance to the Silicon Demon army. Information related to combat deployment.

In other words, when Xiao Wentian led the human legion to the Lighthouse planet, there was no external assistance at all.

Even so, Xiao Wentian didn't back down, and there was no room for him to back down.

Similar to the problem Yang Yi is facing now, what Xiao Wentian who came to Lighthouse Star lacks most is time.Although the Galactic Federation has not made a decision on sending troops to participate in the war, the Hidden Spirit Race has already taken action. The top civilizations and advanced civilizations such as the Leiling Clan and the Weaving Star Clan have all begun to mobilize for war. It will be a matter of time before they join the war.What Xiao Wentian has to do is to defend the lighthouse star and persist until other civilizations of the Galactic Alliance send troops to join the war.

For this reason, Xiao Wentian made a crucial decision.

This is, deliberately abandoning part of the Lighthouse Star, allowing the Silicon Charm army to 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 brought only one hundred legions to the Lighthouse Planet, 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 suffered a catastrophe. .In other words, the people who followed Xiao Wentian to the Lighthouse Star were almost all newly-built legions, not to mention actual combat experience, and even morale was a big problem. No one believed that Xiao Wentian could use these legions to defend the Lighthouse Star.

Based on the situation at the time, it was even more necessary to stick to the lighthouse star and prevent the enemy from landing on the lighthouse star.For those legions with no experience and low morale, if they fought the enemy to the death on the ground, they might be directly defeated.Even if Xiao Wentian has extraordinary talent, it is impossible to organize the broken army to continue fighting.If you can prevent the enemy from landing, and hone the new army through small-scale ground battles, there is still some chance of winning.

However, Xiao Wentian did the opposite, abandoning the outer defense line from the very beginning, and fought the enemy to the death on the lighthouse planet.

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 first went to the Lighthouse planet suffered heavy losses, and nearly half of the legions were even dismantled due to heavy casualties, and the rest did not have much combat effectiveness to speak of.Although no one has counted the exact number of casualties, among the 10 million officers and soldiers who first went to Lighthouse Star, less than 50 people 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 gained a firm foothold on the Lighthouse Star, and through the fierce fighting in the early stage, a large number of grassroots officers and soldiers with practical combat experience were 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 Lighthouse star, the commander of the Silicon Charm army believed that the occupation of the Lighthouse star was just around the corner, and it would not be difficult to destroy the human legion on the Lighthouse star, so he did not use extreme methods.Taking advantage of this, Xiao Wentian successfully held back the main force of the Silicon Charm army, and held on to the Lighthouse Star for 50 years until other civilizations in the Galactic Alliance completed their war mobilization.Given the situation at the time, if Xiao Wentian had tried his best to prevent the enemy from landing on the Lighthouse planet from the very beginning, no matter what the result was, he would not be able to lead the human army to stand on the Lighthouse star for [-] years.

Obviously, Xiao Wentian adopted a tactic of retreating into advance.

Now, the situation that Yang Yi encountered was the same.

If you try your best to prevent the army of silicon demons from landing on Feng Mars, even if you succeed, you can only force the enemy to use extreme means to destroy Feng Mars, or even the entire Beacon Galaxy.Even with the support of the Weaving Star Clan, using a hundred large SSS-level primary energy converters to create an energy barrier covering the entire Fengxing Mars, it may not be able to protect the Fengxing Mars, at least no one can guarantee that this energy barrier can be maintained forever.

That's why Yang Yi proposed to give up some places and let the enemy land on Feng Mars.

After Shen Chengwen introduced the offensive and defensive battle of the Lighthouse Star, Yuyang also understood, knowing that Yang Yi was imitating Xiao Wentian back then.

After clarifying the situation, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to arrange the defensive deployment.

In fact, Yang Yi's current situation is much better than that of Xiao Wentian back then.In addition to the support of the Yu Family and Zhixing Clan, he also has a group of capable assistants.

When it comes to defensive deployment, the most important must be Carlson.

The next day, Carlson submitted a complete and detailed deployment plan.

Feng Mars has a total of four continents, the land accounts for 70.00% of the planet's surface area, and the only few oceans are intercontinental seas.According to the plan submitted by Carlson, build a fort-level military camp on each continent, and then build some smaller military camps according to the actual situation, thus constructing a complete defense system on each continent.In addition, using the advanced technology provided by the Weaving Star Clan, a stable space bridge was built between the four fortress-level barracks, so as to communicate and quickly mobilize troops.In Carlson's words, as long as these barracks are built, Fengxing Mars' defense will be unbreakable.No matter where the enemy lands, no matter which fortress-level barracks the enemy attacks, the legions on other continents can quickly rush to support them, and use the outlying camps to fight back.Simply put, this deployment plan can maximize the combat effectiveness of limited troops and ensure the flexibility of operations.

In fact, this is the standard defensive tactic of the Leiling Clan Legion.

It can be said that as long as Carlson's vision becomes a reality, Yang Yi will be able to use 450 legions to defend Fengxing, and he can persist for a long time.

The problem is, it will take 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 the barracks, and there must be no accidents during this period.

Obviously, this is impossible.

After discussing with Carlson, Yuyang, Shen Chengwen, and Otis, Yang Yi adjusted Carlson's plan, focusing on the fort-level barracks, and temporarily abandoning the construction of the outer barracks.To put it simply, first complete the four fort-level barracks, and then build outlying barracks if there is time.

Although there is no outlying 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 attack of the Silicon Charm army, but it will take a relatively high price, especially casualties.

Time is limited, and Yang Yi has no other choice.

In any case, if there is no fort-level barracks for support, no matter how many outlying barracks are built, they will not be able to stop the successive onslaughts of the Silicon Charm army.

After the defense deployment was finalized, Yang Yi asked Carlson to start construction.

In order to speed up the progress, Yang Yi handed over all the corps that could be mobilized to Carlson, and 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, each of the ten Liuying warships will lead some fast spaceships sent by the Yu family to form a patrol fleet, and go to the outer periphery of the Wolf Smoke Galaxy to patrol and guard in order to find the Silicon Charm fleet in time, so that Defense forces on Beacon Mars are ready for battle.

Yang Yi can only prepare for the battle, and he doesn't know when the battle will start, that is, when the enemy will arrive.

Ten days later, the four fort-level barracks were all formed.

Although only the basic construction has been completed, many defensive facilities have not been completed, and the crucial heavy defensive weapons have not been deployed in place, but with these four fortress-level barracks, Yang Yi has gained the capital to fight the enemy, at least he can fight against the enemy. There's a big fight on the stars.

On this day, the First Support Army arrived.

It was not the legion sent by the third war zone, nor the legion from other war zones, but the civilian armed forces from the Champagne galaxy, and the commander was Jackson.

This is the first time Yang Yi saw Jackson after returning to his home galaxy.

When old friends meet each other, it is natural to ask questions.It's just that the reinforcements provided by the resistance organization brought by Jackson have a 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. The heavy weapons provided by the Yu family, but for the legions on Fengxing Mars, the arrival of reinforcements is already extraordinary, at least it shows that they are not fighting alone.

In other words, the symbolic meaning of this supporting army is greater.

Of course, Jackson brought not only reinforcements, but also the latest news and some good things that could boost the morale of the army.
