Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 540 Meteorite Bombing
Although Yuyang suggested to take advantage of the victory to pursue, even if it is impossible to rely on ten legions to annihilate the hundreds of thousands of silicon ghost soldiers in the landing field, they can still catch the enemy by surprise, hit the enemy's morale and fighting spirit, disrupt the enemy's deployment, and thus gain more time for the legions to attack. get rest.In addition, if you want to send troops to the Eastern Continent, you must inflict heavy damage on the enemy before that to buy more time, so it is necessary to counterattack the landing field.But Yang Yi did not adopt Yuyang's suggestion, but asked the ten legions to withdraw immediately and enter the bunker to prepare for the early bombing.As for sending troops to the Eastern Continent, Yang Yi never thought about it at all, at least he didn't think about it at the time.

At the beginning, Yuyang didn't quite understand it.

Abandoning the Eastern Continent is not a problem, it has long been in Yang Yi's plan.That is to say, the human legion on Mars can hold at most two barracks, and it will be a matter of time before they give up the other two barracks.Because Fang Zhicheng is more active, Yang Yi is more likely to give up the western and eastern continents.

The point 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 generals and captured the king of war, but did not eliminate many silicon demon fighters.Although there is no commander-in-chief of the war king, those hundreds of thousands of silicon ghost soldiers are headless chickens, and they do not pose much threat to the human legion, but as long as a war king is sent over, at most dozens of war generals will be added. The silicon demon warriors can then reorganize.

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 reorganizes.

However, Yuyang soon discovered that compared with Yang Yi, he was far behind.

After Yang Yi gave the order, the ten legions did not retreat immediately, but delayed for some time.It wasn't that the soldiers of the ten legions didn't obey the command, but that the battle had just ended, and the officers and soldiers were scattered on the battlefield, collecting spoils. Even if the officers acted immediately, it would take some time to regroup the troops.In addition, the battlefield is so large that it is impossible for dispersed 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.

That is, the ten legions had just left the battlefield, and before returning to the barracks, the bombing of the Silicon Charm fleet arrived.

This time, it wasn't the small warships that entered the atmosphere of Feng Mars that dropped the bombs, but those large warships that were hovering in orbit and were too bulky to enter the atmosphere.

The bombs dropped were extremely powerful.

It can be said that what was dropped was not a bomb, but a meteorite, or an asteroid.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of boulders weighing more than [-] tons fell down.Although they were all intercepted by anti-aircraft fire before they landed and were blown up, the fragments of the boulder were still very powerful.Not to mention ordinary officers and soldiers, even soldiers, if they are hit, they will be disabled even if they don't die.

The bombing came so suddenly that the ten regiments had less than five minutes after the alert from headquarters.

5 minutes, what can you do?
Even the soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade have to go all out to return to the barracks within 5 minutes, but ordinary officers and soldiers can't do it at all.

As a result, under the bombardment of the "Meteorite Rain", the ten legions suffered heavy casualties.

Although Yang Yi dispatched Shen Chengwen and Otis at the first time, leading the Special Investigation Brigade and the female warrior guards to meet them, it was still too late when Shen Chengwen and Otis arrived.Facing tens of thousands of comrades who were either dead or injured, all they could do was try their best to send the wounded back to the barracks.In order for the wounded to receive timely treatment, Shen Chengwen had to order to temporarily abandon the remains of the fallen soldiers.

At this time, the medical equipment of the Weaving Star Clan on the Flowing Shadow Ship played a vital role.

It can be said that without these advanced medical equipment, few officers and soldiers of these ten legions would have survived, because even those who survived 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 one bombing, only a few minutes before and after, more than 3 officers and soldiers of the ten legions were killed in battle, and nearly 1 officers and soldiers temporarily lost their combat effectiveness due to heavy injuries.Even more than [-] other officers and soldiers were slightly injured, and only a few officers remained unscathed.

You know, in the previous battles, the total number of casualties was less than 1000.

The ten legions, even if the organizational system is still there, have completely lost their combat effectiveness.Even if the seriously injured return to the team, they will not be able to return to their original state.

At this time, the one who regrets the most is Yuyang.

When Yang Yi gave the order, if he hadn't insisted on his own opinion, but had issued and executed the order immediately, there wouldn't have been so much delay, and perhaps ten legions would have been 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 is still going on, and as before, it is still those large warships outside the atmosphere that drop the bombs, to be precise, they are rocks with a mass of more than [-] tons, or even [-] tons.If the bombing continues, the barracks can be flooded with meteorites, if not destroyed.

According to Yang Yi's instructions, Yuyang issued an order to the ten legions on the defense line, asking all officers and soldiers to stay in the bunker and not go out without orders.

At the same time, Yang Yi dispatched ten Liuying Ships.

Although the barracks are protected by energy barriers, they are not afraid of the enemy's energy weapons, but in the face of meteorites falling from the sky, energy barriers are meaningless.Those anti-aircraft weapons were protecting the barracks, and the method was not very effective, that is, the anti-aircraft firepower could only crush the falling meteorites, but could not intercept all the fragments.Some fragments with larger masses are still a great threat, and can even destroy buildings in military camps.

It is obviously not enough to rely on anti-aircraft firepower alone.

According to Yang Yi's arrangement, the ten Liuying Ships were responsible for intercepting the meteorites dropped by the enemy ships at high altitude, and to be precise, they were to change the falling direction of the meteorites so that they landed outside the Wilderness of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The problem is, there are only ten streamer ships, and there are countless meteorites falling from the sky.

Where did the Silicon Charm Fleet get so many meteorites?
Yang Yi was very puzzled, but he couldn't think about it right now.

Fortunately, the bombing cannot continue forever.

After about four hours, the bombing ended.

Although the ten Liuying warships went all out, and the anti-aircraft firepower in the barracks was firing at full speed, the barracks had already been changed beyond recognition during the four-hour bombing, with holes smashed by meteorites everywhere, and the ground Almost all the buildings on it were destroyed.

It can be said that if this bombing continues for another four hours, I am afraid that all the exposed buildings in the barracks will be completely wiped out.

Fortunately, the main facilities of the barracks are all underground, and they are hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters above the surface.On top of some key facilities there are domes for enhanced protection.That said, the hidden underground facilities weren't affected much, at least not severely damaged.

As for the officers and soldiers in the barracks, they all hid in underground bunkers.

The casualties were not great, but those defensive facilities that could only be deployed on the ground, such as air defense positions and artillery positions, were no longer usable and had to be rebuilt.

If it was not a big problem before, these surface facilities can be rebuilt in a few days at most.The problem is, the battle has already begun, and the enemy is attacking.It is definitely not easy to rebuild the surface infrastructure under the hail of bullets, and the enemy has found a way, so they will keep an eye on the situation in the barracks, focusing on those targets with great threats, such as air defense positions and artillery positions.Under such circumstances, rebuilding the surface infrastructure is not only extremely dangerous, but it will definitely take much more time than usual.

Fortunately, Yang Yi has one of the best engineering commanders.

Don't forget that 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 troops in each legion, to be precise, the officers and soldiers with engineering experience, should be gathered together to form a special engineering army so that they could fight After the start, it can effectively schedule and arrange.Yang Yi met Carlson's request, and also gave him enough power, that is, let Carlson personally command the engineering force, and he also dispatched all the engineering equipment and materials.Simply put, as long as it is related to engineering, Carlson is in charge.

All Yang Yi had to do was to tell Carlson that those facilities should be repaired first, and which ones could be temporarily delayed.

After the bombing was over, Yang Yi immediately called Jackson over and asked him to send the ten regiments that were going to be sent to strengthen the outer defense line to replace the ten regiments that suffered heavy losses during the bombing, and arranged for one of his men to take over the barracks. perimeter defense.

Of course, the candidate was ready, and Jackson sent Buck.

In addition, Yang Yi also asked Jackson to select the five worst-trained and weakest combatants from the reserve team for Carlson to assist Carlson in rebuilding the infrastructure in the barracks.Although Carlson has an engineering force, it is seriously understaffed, at least for now, the more manpower the better.

Next, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to recruit the staff officers to discuss the next combat deployment.

According to the previous situation, after the bombing, the landing troops of the Silicon Charm army will arrive.There were [-] and [-] legions before, so Yang Yi concluded that there must be more than [-] silicon magic legions coming next, at least [-], maybe [-].Whether it is two hundred or three hundred, it means that the barracks will be attacked more violently, and it also means that the next battle will be more tragic.

The point is, after the Silicon Charm army adjusted its bombing tactics, the previous defensive deployment was obviously no longer needed.

Not to mention anything else, if the Silicon Demon Legion launched an attack during the bombing, the human legion guarding the line of defense would not be able to fight, and would not be able to play a role.

Defensive tactics must be adjusted, and a feasible plan must be come up with as soon as possible.

However, Yang Yi made a mistake. He thought of the enemy too simply, thinking that the army of silicon charms would still attack according to the previous routine.
