Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 544 Relying on each other
Yang Yi had no choice, and so did Fang Zhicheng.

Although he was extremely angry at James' stupidity, the barracks had already fallen, and Fang Zhicheng could only accept this fact that no one wanted to accept.Now there are only two barracks left, not only Yang Yi needs Fang Zhicheng's support, Fang Zhicheng also needs Yang Yi's assistance.Compared with James and Huo Huade, at least Fang Zhicheng did not come to deal with the matter, but hoped to fight a big victory here to avenge those comrades who died.

After Yang Yi proposed to reorganize the officers and soldiers withdrawn from the Eastern and Western military camps and form a new army to enrich the reserve team, Fang Zhicheng immediately agreed and offered to take charge of the matter.Yang Yi was also very happy, and made it clear that the new reserve team would first meet the defense deployment of the northern barracks, and even agreed that Fang Zhicheng would arrange officers from the third theater to command the new reserve team.

As for whether the officers and soldiers from other theaters are willing to accept Fang Zhicheng's command, it is not a problem at all.In Yang Yi's words, it is a time of war, and he is the commander-in-chief of Fenghuang Mars defense operations. Disobeying his orders is a betrayal, and punishment according to military law is death.Besides, James had already died in battle, and the other two generals in the Eastern Army Camp were also controlled by Yang Yi. In order to absolve himself of the responsibility for the defeat, Huo Huade definitely did not dare to be serious with Yang Yi in terms of command.Without the support of senior generals, the officers of the grassroots units will not be able to support themselves.In addition, as long as these soldiers from other theaters still have a sense of responsibility and want to leave Fengxing alive, they will not create conflicts at this time because of who is under their command.To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter whose orders you listen to. The key is whether you can defeat a powerful enemy, whether you can keep the beacon fire, whether you can survive until the end of the battle, and whether you can return to your family safely.Don't say that Fang Zhicheng is the lieutenant general of the third war zone, and he has made a name for himself in the great retreat.Even if it is a little-known general, as long as he can lead them to victory, as long as he can give them a little hope, it is much better than dying in this ghost place.

Of course, after talking with Fang Zhicheng, Yang Yi symbolically solicited the opinions of Huo Huade and other generals.

As he expected, no one expressed any objection. The generals honestly handed over their command, and personally ordered their officers to obey the command of the commander-in-chief.It's not that they are willing to delegate power, but that they have asked Yang Yi, that is, after losing the guarded barracks, Yang Yi can relieve them of their powers at any time with ineffective command, and even according to the military law during the war, they can be transferred without reporting to the military. punish them.Even if Yang Yi didn't have the guts, as long as he said a few more words in the combat report submitted to the military, they would be responsible for the defeat.At that time, even if he could leave Feng Mars alive, he would have no face to be a human being after returning to his home galaxy.

You must know that in the Human Federation, the defeated general will not receive anyone's sympathy.

In the past thousands of years, the Human Federation only had generals who died in battle, not defeated generals.To put it simply, people will not ask ordinary soldiers for their responsibilities because of defeat, because grassroots officers and soldiers obey the orders of the generals, and only the generals who command the battle are really responsible.

Later, Yang Yi asked Fang Zhicheng to send people to pick up the officers and soldiers from the Eastern and Western military camps.

In fact, for Yang Yi, this is also a good thing.

The key point is that it will definitely take a lot of effort to rectify these remnants and defeated generals, and it is not Yang Yi's southern military camp that is short of troops, but Fang Zhicheng's northern military camp.If these remnants of defeated soldiers were left behind, Yang Yi would not only need to spend a lot of energy to reorganize them, but when the battle started again, if the Silicon Demon army focused on attacking the northern barracks, he would still have to send a reserve team to support them.That being the case, it is better to hand over these remnants of defeated soldiers to Fang Zhicheng, and let Fang Zhicheng spend his energy to strengthen the defense of the northern barracks.Even if the reserve team has to be mobilized at that time, there is no need to go all out, at least not too many reserve teams.

However, Fang Zhicheng is not an idiot.

When Yang Yi asked him to reorganize the retreated remnants and defeated generals, he guessed Yang Yi's intentions and knew that Yang Yi was pushing the boat along the way, so he made a request that the northern barracks not only needed more troops, but also Long-range firepower capable of effectively striking the enemy is required.

Yang Yi couldn't refuse Fang Zhicheng's request.

Although unlike other theaters, the reinforcements in the third theater brought enough combat supplies, but they did not bring much heavy equipment, especially powerful heavy artillery.Among the fifty legions under Fang Zhicheng's command, even heavy tanks have less than a thousand, which is only one-fifth of the standard establishment.In Fang Zhicheng's words, this is not bad. The other legions in the third theater don't even have a heavy tank.

Yang Yi was not stingy either, and allocated fifty heavy artillery pieces to Fang Zhicheng, and promised to provide one thousand heavy tanks.

In fact, Yang Yi is not generous, but without these heavy weapons, even if Fang Zhicheng goes all out, even if the officers and soldiers in the third war zone fight to the end, they may not be able to hold the northern barracks.In addition, the enemy has captured the eastern and western continents, discovered the weakness of the human legion, and even knows that the southern continent is the core of the human legion, so when they attack again, the enemy is likely to attack the northern continent.If there are not enough heavy weapons, especially heavy artillery and heavy tanks, the northern barracks will definitely not be able to hold under the siege of the enemy.Obviously, if the northern military camp is captured by the enemy, even if Yang Yi has enough heavy weapons, he will not be able to defend the southern military camp.

On the same day, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to send fifty heavy artillery pieces over.

As for the [-] tanks promised to be provided, they will have to wait a few days before they can be delivered.The main thing is that these tanks have to be transferred from various legions, and the formation of the legions has to be adjusted.If only the main battle tanks of several legions were transferred to Fang Zhicheng, these legions would definitely lose their combat effectiveness.More importantly, all the armies with heavy tanks were the main army, while the armies that Jackson brought as reserves did not have heavy tanks.Although the Yu family promised to provide more equipment and supplies, Fengxing Mars has been blocked by the Silicon Charm fleet, and even a fast transport ship cannot reach it safely.In other words, it is impossible to obtain the support of the Yu family in the short term.

Fortunately, Fang Zhicheng was extremely satisfied with the fifty heavy artillery pieces he received, and he also expressed his understanding of Yang Yi's difficulties.

Obtaining the support of Fang Zhicheng, strengthening the defense deployment of the northern barracks is only the first step.

In fact, by this time, Yang Yi had already realized that the enemy might not attack the Nanfeng barracks immediately, at least they would not storm the Nanfeng barracks.After capturing the Eastern and Western camps, the enemy will spend some time mopping up, building more camps in both places, and then sending more legions.Only after full preparations are made will the attack be launched again.In this way, when the enemy launches an attack has to be determined by the progress of preparations.To put it bluntly, after gaining a firm foothold, the enemy will definitely adjust their tactics.It's just that the enemy won't give Yang Yi and them too much time, and when the enemy attacks again, there is no room for conversion.

Obviously, strengthening the defense is still a crucial matter, and the extent to which it can be achieved is determined by time.

For this reason, Yang Yi assigned a special mission to the Special Investigation Brigade and the Female Warrior Guard, that is, to go to the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent respectively, use every opportunity to attack and weaken the enemy, cause trouble for the enemy, and do his best to make the enemy spend more time. More time for pre-war preparations.As for how to fight, Yang Yi didn't have a clear rule, and Shen Chengwen and Otis decided according to the actual situation, that is, adapting to the situation.

For Shen Chengwen, this is not a problem.

Don't forget that the Special Investigation Brigade was originally a special force in the third war zone, and was best at this kind of irregular combat, and the officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade had rich actual combat experience.Besides, Shen Chengwen has always been witty, and Yang Yi doesn't need to worry about him commanding the enemy's rear.

As for Otis, that was obviously a problem.

Although the female samurai guards can be regarded as the special forces of the Weaving Star Clan, both in terms of status and strength, they are above the special investigation brigade, but compared with the special investigation brigade, the biggest problem with the female samurai guards is their lack of experience. Even Otis hadn't seen much combat either.In the past thousands of years, the female warrior guards have never left the goddess mother planet, let alone go to the enemy's rear to perform special tasks like human soldiers.In addition, all female warriors, including Otis, lack not only experience, but also tactical thinking.If Otis were to command this battle, she would choose to fight harder against the enemy, even though she knew she would be defeated in the end due to being outnumbered.

For this reason, Yang Yi sent Justin to assist Otis.

Of course, Yang Yi also clearly told Otis that Justin was his spokesperson, the female warrior guards were in charge of fighting, and Justin had the final say on how to fight.

Although Otis was obviously dissatisfied with this arrangement, Yang Yi had no other choice.

If possible, he would personally take the female warrior guards to the Western Continent to fight against the enemy.It's a pity that there are more and more important things that Yang Yi needs to deal with.Besides, Yang Yi is the commander-in-chief, and it is impossible to do everything by himself, let alone leave the headquarters to fight behind the enemy.

The more important thing is to strengthen the defense of the barracks.

The fall of the eastern barracks and the western barracks was not only due to command errors, but also directly related to the incomplete defense construction of the barracks.Especially in the western barracks, Huo Huade did not make serious mistakes, and the key reason for the fall of the barracks was that the defense construction was not completed.

It can be said that if the defense construction of the barracks can be completed before the battle starts, then the western barracks will not be captured by the enemy so quickly.Not to mention Huo Huade, if the enemy attacked the northern barracks, Fang Zhicheng might not be able to command reinforcements from the third theater to defend the barracks.

In addition, the enemy has already occupied the Eastern and Western military camps, has mastered the defensive deployment of the military camps, and knows how to attack the other two military camps.For this reason, adjustments must be made to the defense deployment, and it must be completed as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
