Perhaps due to some mysterious fate, the Battle of the Ring of Miracles and the Fourth Battle of Yaochi also happened on the same day, that is, November 20, 833 in the Common Calendar.
Faced with the strong defense line established by the Community defenders in the border valley of Block 1, the empire spent more than half a year deploying troops and gathering five or six times the strength of the defenders before launching an all-out attack on the Ring of Miracles defense line.
attack.
The commander is the famous General Orosa. In the timeline when Yu Lian was active, this veteran had already withdrawn from the stage of history. However, in this timeline, he was the best land combat master in the entire Galactic Empire.
, not even one.
However, it turns out that the "Defensive Omnipotence Theory" summarized by Yu Lian using the war experience in the previous timeline is still very practical. Even a land warfare expert like General Orosa needs to concentrate on absolute advantages
Only then did they dare to launch the final attack.
It is said that the Imperials did indeed leave the corpses of nearly 100,000 people in the Ring of Miracles, which is almost equal to the total number of enemy troops that were annihilated and surrendered by them this time. This has to be said to be the result of the hard work of the defenders of the Ring of Miracles.
, it has to be said that it is the result of Yu Lian’s "The Theory of Omnipotent Defense".
Yang Xiyi was probably praising Yu Lian. However, the latter's mood was still depressed. He suddenly felt that if Brother Saiyo hadn't gotten his own "Defensive Omnipotence" and relied on it in his heart, they might not have been able to do it.
Will stick to it, but will choose more flexible tactics.
After all, this miraculous ring is so vast that all the continental plates combined definitely exceed the total surface area of ​​the habitable planet of any civilized country. Is there any place that is not a place to fight?
However, sticking to a solid line of defense will certainly bring an illusory sense of security, but will it lead to a dead end?
Yang Xiyi said in a not too polite tone: "You think too highly of Commander Seyo. He is a great and open-minded leader who loves his soldiers as much as his son. He has always held himself to the standards of famous generals in ancient times. However, Mark
, in essence, whether it is strategy, decision-making or courage, he actually does not exceed the average level of normal people. He actually does not have the ability to lead everyone in guerrilla operations for a long time."
"In addition, you should also know that the essence of guerrilla warfare is not fighting, but swimming."
"Then you are wrong. The essence of guerrillas lies in long-term swimming, ambush, and stealth to find the enemy's weaknesses, and even mobilize the enemy to expose their weaknesses. In the final analysis, it will fall on one attack!" Yu Lian shook his head.
Yang Xiyi thought for a moment and actually agreed.
Well, because of the wisdom of the old man who taught him in his previous life, Yu Lian actually convinced Yang Xiyi on the theory of military art, which is very proud.
"Anyway, you've heard the old saying about tens of thousands of people on horseback, boundless and endless, right? For such a large-scale army, if you want to break it into parts, break out separately, and continue fighting, this is actually more than
Chief Seyo’s organizational skills are impressive.”
Teacher Yang was probably comforting himself. Otherwise, given his character, even if he was sarcastic, he would definitely have adopted a more sophisticated approach. How could he talk about a senior who had died in battle behind his back?
Yes, Lieutenant General Singh Saijo has definitely died on the battlefield. This bad news happened during the Empire's all-out offensive on November 20.
Recalling it carefully, the director of the Marine Corps of the community has always had the heart of a literary youth. Before the war, he even went to "Cold Hill" with great interest to make a guest appearance as a villain. His debut on the screen won the Academy Award
He won the Songya Grand Prize, but I don’t know if he has had the chance to watch the entire film.
Although Yu Lian had not had much contact with Lieutenant General Seyo, and the friendship was not very deep, he still felt a little sad.
If Feifei knew that her actor had died in the war, she might be even more sad.
As for the chief of staff of the Ring of Miracles garrison, Major General Watt Rall led most of the troops and wounded soldiers who were unable to break out to lay down their weapons. He chose an approach that seemed cowardly, but was actually more courageous.
"...Major General Lal was also recommended by me to Commander Seyo." Yu Lian sighed: "He does not want to be a foreign affairs officer who wipes the butt of an unreasonable leader, and he also has the ambition to gallop on the battlefield. Just right,
Major General Lal’s strengths are indeed in organization and staff, which can complement Chief Seyo.”
Who can say that he is not an organizational genius if he can build an intelligence agency with at least above-average capabilities in the heart of the empire?
But now, he has returned to the empire where he has worked and lived for many years, and as a prisoner.
What the hell kind of joke is this! Yu Lian patted his head.
Yang Xiyi then said: "If you want to blame yourself, you don't have to. You have to know that Commander Seyo and Chief of Staff Lal watched helplessly as the main force of the expedition fleet was completely destroyed. However, they still relied on
The lone army with low morale held back a large number of the empire's troops, forcing the empire to spend a lot of transportation resources and more than half a year on deploying troops. This indeed created ample time and space for me to act objectively. Therefore, I activated Watt
The secret bases of Heim and Liangshan also attacked from all sides on the empire’s busy transportation lines, and naturally achieved considerable results.”
"In the final analysis, things like war can never be evaluated casually based on changes in the isolated battle situation. Even with the most harsh evaluation, they have done everything they can. As soldiers, they have also done everything they can.
What more can you ask for?”
Yang Xiyi was very rude to the late Lieutenant General Seyo before, but now he spoke highly of him, highlighting his calm, neutral and rigorous attitude.
Yang Xiyi pondered for a moment: "As for the troops who broke out, under the leadership of Major General Mallowan, they were much more flexible. Regardless of whether the essence of guerrilla warfare is guerrilla warfare or guerrilla warfare, the scale of the operation actually depends on the commander's upper limit of ability.
.”
Of course Yu Lian understood this.
The 100,000-strong army was broken into pieces and broke out to lurk as guerrillas while maintaining combat coordination. Such an operation was not something that Chief Seyo and the others could do.
But now, the troops that can break out are naturally the most elite among the defenders. The smaller the number, the smaller the target, and the more mobile and flexible the actions. In addition, almost all the psykers have also successfully escaped, some kind of
To a certain extent, this also ensures a certain ability of the remaining troops to attack difficult problems.
More importantly, with a smaller number of people, Major General Mallowan would be able to command more and hold on longer.
The above news, the above news, was heard by Yang Xiyi from a certain transport ship captain who was killed. This was already in December 833, two weeks after the end of the Fourth Yaochi Battle.
.
After that, the Yang fleet arrived at the Yaochi galaxy like a magic weapon descending from the sky, and participated in the fifth Battle of Yaochi on December 26. After cooperating with the friendly forces on land to achieve a complete victory, they passed by Marshal Li from the city of Gela.
Some women and children were taken away. Anyway, there was still plenty of living space on the two predator immigration ships.
The reason why Yang Fleet was unable to pick up everyone was because the 38th Division had already said that it wanted to continue to resist. Even if Yaochi would not affect major changes in the battle situation, as long as it existed, there would be a strategy
significance.
On the other hand, it is time.
The Yang Fleet relied on attacking in the east and west to seize the opportunity of the Imperial Fleet and successfully arrived at Yaochi to complete the rendezvous. However, their rendezvous only lasted less than twenty hours.
After discovering that they had been deceived, Rear Admiral Maytig's fleet rushed back as quickly as possible.
In less than a day, it was impossible to take away all the soldiers and civilians in the city of Grad, Marshal Li, so he only took away 30,000 old, weak, women, children and wounded soldiers.
In addition, they also received a considerable amount of supplies.
"There are also some grains cultivated from Yaochi. If you have the opportunity, you can bring them back to your hometown and try them. Maybe they will have miraculous effects."
It can only be said that it is indeed a holy land planet. While fighting wars and farming underground, you can always get a bumper harvest and even do some agricultural research. It is a natural treasure.
It can only be said that there is actually no shortage of holy land planets in the Milky Way. Under such circumstances, if civilized races still suffer from famine, it must not be the fault of the universe, but the fault of civilization.
"...So, I've been wanting to ask you just now, what do you mean by the numbers of the Fourth and Fifth Yaochi Battles?"
"I also heard this from the empire. They thought that there were five large-scale offensive and defensive battles in Yaochi, so they named it that way."
Yu Lian felt more and more déjà vu and more and more empathy.
"So, it was the fourth time that we pushed back and killed the two enemy generals Surmei and Hongkesi. The charge that wiped out all the imperial strongholds that I saw on the video was the fifth time?"
Yang Xiyi nodded.
Yu Lian suddenly wanted to shout "Long live the 38th Division", and by the way, he could also add "Long live the Yang Fleet". So he really shouted.
However, what we want to discuss now is still the situation of the Miracle Ring. After shouting three times, he quickly changed the topic back.
"However, in the end, the Ring of Miracles still only has these remnant soldiers hiding here and there. The most they can do is announce to the entire universe that we are still resisting in the Ring of Miracles, so how can we say how big a threat it is?"
"Yes, that's what I originally thought. So I went to the Circle of Miracles to confirm it myself."
Yu Lian pondered for a moment and gave Teacher Yang a thumbs up.
This guy is always known as a wise general, but precisely because he follows a cerebral approach and is confident in his own judgment, he always has no limits when he goes crazy.
As for how Yang Xiyi fooled the enemy afterwards, it is actually not difficult to guess. When everyone is guessing that you will definitely choose to avoid the enemy's edge, doing the opposite can often produce the best results.
In fact, Yang Xiyi even made a grand gesture of preparing to sink the Vulcan and regain the Ring of Miracles, and marched in that direction with great fanfare.
Considering that Fleet Yang had already attempted to attack the east and west many times before, the Imperial Army expressed that this was still a trap and that there was no need to intercept it. Instead, they should search in other galaxies with clues. Of course, after all, the Ring of Miracles was also the headquarters of the Empire's New Continent Theater.
It has maintained a fleet of considerable size all year round, and the Vulcan Airan has stayed there without moving. You can tell on your knees that there is no way Yang's fleet can deal with the Imperial Army of the Miracle Ring.
So, Fleet Yang rushed into the Ring of Miracles, startling Marshal Farrell slightly. This was 5:17 in the morning on January 4, 834 in the Common Calendar.
The reason why it was not a big jump was because a very exaggerated event had just happened in the Miracle Circle. The entire Imperial Army was in a state of great shock.
The continental plate temporarily numbered No. 1487, its transparent dome covering a large area of ​​ocean and land, suddenly ruptured at midnight on January 4. Immediately afterwards, this dome structure that looked like transparent glass at first glance,
Under the pressure from inside and outside, it really shattered into pieces like fragile glass. Along with it, tens of billions of tons of air, water, soil, vegetation, and hundreds of imperial advance teams that had just arrived at that plate were all bombarded.
Arriving in outer space, he was immediately swallowed up by the endless galaxy.
