    Chapter 47 "Conflict" between Yi Lexiang and his staff

    The planet Orit with two suns has a hot climate, and most areas are covered by yellow sand and Gobi. Only the southern mountainous area has lush trees and dense vegetation.  The 99th Mountain Division of Charno is stationed in this area of ??dense jungle and crisscrossed by mountains.

    In the early years, mountain combat was just a variant of plain position warfare. However, mountain combat required great physical exertion. Therefore, mountain combat troops usually selected hardy mountain youths, and their requirements and training were more stringent than ordinary field troops.  The image of the "elite force" of the mountain infantry also began here.  Later, with the needs of the war, the mountain infantry gradually evolved into an independent unit and joined the army's battle order.  After mankind entered the interstellar expansion period, high-tech arms appeared in large numbers, and advanced weapons and equipment weakened the role of humans in war.  At present, except for Charno and a few other countries with relatively large mountains and jungles that still retain this ancient service, most countries have canceled the "mountain infantry" service from the order of battle.

    But what makes General Garmisch very dissatisfied is that such a military force that has been eliminated in his eyes has blocked his 100,000 elite troops in the mountains for two full weeks.  The arrogant and arrogant General Garmisch graduated from the Mars Military Academy, the highest military academy in the Strong Empire. As a highly talented student at the military academy who was famous for his excellent grades at that time, he was proficient in strategy and armored combat. He was a "fast armor"  A fervent admirer of "Breakthrough Tactics".  In his view, the art of war lies in how to use the rolling torrent of steel armor to destroy the fragile human body and completely disintegrate the enemy's will to fight; antiques like "Mountain Infantry" should appear in military museums rather than on the front lines of war.

    According to intelligence, this unit stationed in the mountainous area is Charno's 99th Mountain Division, with a total of 23,000 people. It is the last well-organized resistance force on Orite.  In addition to the 99th Mountain Division with more than 20,000 people, there are also about 10,000 remnants of the Orit ground defense force who fled into the southern mountains in the encirclement.  The two thousand square kilometers of mountainous area provided good strategic depth to the beleaguered Charno troops. They were broken into pieces and frequently attacked Strong's small troops.  Dense mountain forests and complex geological environments are not conducive to armored combat, and the endless mountains also restrict the deployment of armored clusters.  This gave General Garmisch, the frontline commander in charge of the battle on Orite, a headache.

    He looked at the tactical sandbox in front of him with some annoyance. He had hundreds of thousands of elites and a large number of fighter planes, but he could not completely annihilate the Charno 99th Mountain Division that had been swaying under his nose. More than 40,000 yellow-skinned monkeys were scattered.  In the two thousand square kilometers of mountains, they have been avoiding frontal combat with the empire's main force and refusing to surrender.

    He really doesn¡¯t understand what is the meaning of the meaningless resistance of these Charno soldiers who have lost foreign aid and are in desperate situation?  Maybe it's just the empty national pride of the Charno people that's at work?  He bitterly inserted the electronic pen in his hand on the simulated sand table in the southern mountains of Orit, then let the great and heroic imperial soldiers of the Strong Empire completely break the unrealistic illusions of you yellow-skinned monkeys!

    He decided to force the enemy's main force to fight him decisively through the seemingly untechnical method of continuously compressing the encirclement.  Although this made Garmisch's somewhat inflated self-confidence somewhat unacceptable, it did not seem unacceptable to adopt such combat methods for victory.

    ??For some time, the rhythm and initiative of the war have been in the hands of the Imperial Alliance.  The Alliance assembled heavy troops and launched a comprehensive attack on the Democratic Alliance's star field in three directions at the same time. Considering the embarrassing political situation of the Republic of Charno in the Democratic Alliance Parliament, the Imperial Alliance focused its main attack on Charno.  Republic.  The Strong Empire, Merik Empire, and Sanais Empire of the Imperial Alliance, as well as a dozen other small countries, formed a huge Eastern Army Battle Group to launch an all-out attack on the Republic of Charno from multiple directions, trying to open up the "Alna Interstellar Corridor"  and the "Mantinglang Interstellar Passage" to facilitate the Imperial Alliance's later full-scale invasion.

    Facing the aggressive offensive of the Imperial Alliance, the Republic of Charno was forced to continuously reduce its military strength.  The member states of the Democratic Alliance Parliament have an ambiguous attitude and refuse to send reinforcements on the grounds that they are not ready for war.  Its purpose was to weaken the military strength of the Imperial Alliance through Charno's Patriotic War and prepare for a later all-out war.

    In the Patriotic War that lasted for two years, hundreds of thousands of brave Charno soldiers shed blood on the battlefield. Seven ecological planets on the periphery of the star field fell one after another. The planet where more than one billion Charno people lived became an enemy-occupied zone.  It is equivalent to almost 20% of the population of the Republic of Charno and one-third of the area of ????the Star Territory.  However, the huge losses and casualties did not overwhelm the brave and fearless people of Charno. Facing the vicious and well-equipped enemies, countless passionate young people devoted themselves to this great Patriotic War and defended themselves with their own flesh and blood.  Great motherland and beautiful home.

      Two months ago, the staff officers of the Imperial Alliance Frontline Command discovered that Charno¡¯s resistance in the east was particularly strong as the troops were shrinking. After several tentative attacks, the Imperial General Staff concluded that Charno¡¯s intention to resist fiercely seemed to be  Defend an inconspicuous interstellar route.  This route is not even marked on ordinary civilian interstellar maps, and the end point of the route is "Orit".  Judging from the known intelligence, there is only one colonial base and one large energy mine on the planet Orite, which is almost worthless militarily.  Based on this, the staff believed that there might be something extremely important to Charno hidden on Oret, otherwise the Charno Republic would not have been able to put up such a fierce resistance for an insignificant interstellar colony.

    To this end, the Imperial Alliance concentrated three million troops to launch a large-scale attack on this interstellar branch, completely defeating the frontal defense. The "Charpiao Astronomy" system was completely suppressed, and it did not even have time to issue an alarm to Orit.  . The 76th fleet of the Orit interplanetary fleet was caught off guard and was successfully attacked by the 13th battle group led by Garmisch. Most of them were wiped out. The remaining fleet fled into the vast universe without knowing where to go. Without the support of the space fleet, Austria  Rhett's ground defense force was quickly annihilated, and now only the 40,000 remnant troops in the encirclement were left, and their destruction was only a matter of time.

    After six Earth-hour interstellar drifts, five small special transport ships landed on the planet Orite without any danger.  Three thousand mechas stood like ancient gods of war in the deserted desert of Orit. The auxiliary "Redeemer" mechas were busy covering the yellow-striped camouflage net on top of the completely extinguished mecha clusters.  This specially made camouflage net can block the scanning of battlefield radars, and can also play a certain cooling role under the high-temperature bursts of Orit's two suns.  And our Major General Yi Lexiang moved a simple deck chair from somewhere and hid under the shadow of the camouflage net. He was shaking his legs with his legs raised high and holding a bottle of cold iced drink in his hand.  Take a sip.

    Wu Wei stared at the busy "Redeemer" in stunned silence. As the deputy commander of the special mecha regiment that landed in Orit, he and his staff dealt with the various tactical deductions and emergencies after the landing.  We made careful plans.

    To be honest, he didn¡¯t believe this young major general who jumped out of nowhere. Like most arrogant young commanders, they believed in their own judgment.

    In fact, the operational staff of the special mecha regiment also had doubts about the task ship Major General Su Zhixiong appointing a young boy named Yi Lexiang as the commander of the mecha regiment. This young man who looks ordinary but behaves absurdly  He really doesn't look like a good commander.  As the deputy commander, Wu Wei was born in the Wu family. Most of the Wu family's children are serving in the military and have great prestige among grassroots officers.  Although Wu Wei is not as good as his cousin Wu Chao, he can still be regarded as a rising star in the military. Obviously, Wu Wei, who was born in the Wu family, seems more trustworthy.  Most of the staff members privately followed Wu Wei's lead.

    Even when formulating the battle plan, Wu Wei and others only sent someone to symbolically inform Yi Lexiang.  According to military regulations, such a meeting should be chaired by the top commander of the army. What Wu Wei and others did was obviously to look down on the young Yi Lexiang and to be suspected of neglecting the commander.  This alone was enough for the Military Justice to seek them out for a "tea and a chat."

    However, it seemed that Yi Lexiang didn't care about this. He happily asked the staff officer who notified him to tell Wu Wei and others to formulate their own combat plan. He fully trusted the abilities of his colleagues.  Leaving behind the deputy commander and staff in the command room, Yi Lexiang went to the landing mecha regiment alone to make jokes and jokes with the soldiers, which made Wu Wei and others look down on Yi Lexiang even more in confusion.  However, this young major general, who was regarded by Wu Wei and others as not doing his job properly, quietly ordered the "Redeemer" in advance to prepare a large number of camouflage nets to solve the problem of concealment of the mecha group after landing.

    The atmosphere in the newly set up simple command post became a little strange, and the staff members had embarrassed looks on their faces.  Wu Wei also felt a little guilty in his heart. He had so many people busy for most of the day, figuring out everything from attack plans to retreat routes. How could he not think about how the landing mecha group could hide their whereabouts?

    While admiring the thousands of miles of yellow sand outside the camouflage net, Yi Lexiang secretly looked at the embarrassed expressions of everyone in the headquarters, secretly snickering in his heart; he curled his lips slightly, and kept flicking his right hand on the armrest of the recliner.  Little finger, if you want to give yourself a chance, you must first see if you have that level?

    Wu Wei noticed Yi Lexiang's small movement, and the tight muscles on his face twitched slightly. This kid is too arrogant.

    Yi Lexiang is different from these young officers who are eager to make contributions. He has been fighting on the front line and knows the cruelty of war.  Perhaps the battle damage data in the battle reports of these staff officers at the rear are just numbers. In their eyes,??War is more like a mathematical calculation problem. How to obtain greater victory at the smallest cost is the most important thing.  But in Yi Lexian's eyes, every number is a living life. How to save yourself and your life is the most important thing.  The first consideration in Yi Lexiang's tactical plan was to save his life. With such a thought, it is not surprising that he would think of ordering the "Redeemer" to carry a camouflage net.

    After experiencing the episode just now, the staff officers in the simple command room became much more honest. Although everyone was still a little unconvinced, they at least understood one thing: their young commander was not the idiot everyone imagined.  .  Of course, not everyone has doubts about Yi Lexiang. For example, Deputy Chief of Staff Pang Hai, who is nearly 40 years old, has objections to the boycott of Yi Lexiang by young staff officers in the headquarters, but he can't stand alone.  We can only let these young people run wild.

    Seeing that the atmosphere in the command room was a bit awkward, the mature and steady Pang Hai quickly spoke, "Major General Yi, do you think we should study the next battle plan?"

    "Oh, the next battle plan?" Yi Lexiang looked surprised, "Deputy Commander Wu, haven't you already made it?"

    Pang Hai looked at the exaggerated expression on Yi Lexiang's face with a wry smile. This young major general was really unyielding.  What happened just now has slapped everyone hard, and now they have to be stepped on and crushed under their feet several times before they give up.

    Wu Wei's face turned red and white. Yi Lexiang was the top commander of the mecha regiment. Who would dare to issue combat orders without his consent?  Only then did he realize that what he was doing in front of everyone seemed a bit abrupt. The person in front of him was a major general from the Republic of Charno. If it had been anyone else, he and others would have been sent to the Military Justice Department.

    For a moment, the atmosphere in the command room became dull. Seeing that the power was almost shaking, Yi Lexiang smiled at Pang Hai, who had a hint of pleading in his eyes, got up and walked to the simulated sand table.

    Pang Hai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the young major general knew the basics and did not continue to dwell on this matter. Otherwise, he really didn't know how it would end.  However, after Yi Lexiang made such a fuss, the dark clouds that originally shrouded the hearts of everyone in the headquarters completely dissipated.  After all, this mission had a narrow escape. Three thousand mechas faced off against more than 100,000 enemies. There was only a thin line between life and death. Everyone felt like there was a big stone hanging in their hearts.  Now, through Yi Lexiang's use of the topic, no matter whether everyone is embarrassed or resentful, at least the fear of death has been thrown out of the window.

    Pang Hai stared blankly at Yi Lexiang, who was standing in front of the sand table and meditating. Did the young major general do this intentionally, or was it just a coincidence?  In Pang Hai's eyes, Yi Lexiang in front of him looked a little mysterious, as if surrounded by a thick fog. This made him look forward to what kind of surprises taking over this young major general would bring to him and others.
