The high-power signal receiver in the temporary headquarters of the mecha regiment is trying to connect to the "Skynet" system of Planet Orite. The electronic information obtained from the electronic nodes in the air is continuously added to the central control system of the electronic simulation sandbox, and the planar particles The tactical map on the wall constantly refreshes information on both the enemy and ourselves. Since the "Skynet" system was suppressed, many areas on the tactical map could not be displayed due to lack of detailed intelligence. Standing in front of the simulated sand table, Yi Lexiang fell into deep thought while looking at the constantly flashing and refreshing sand table.
The straight-line distance between the landing point of the mecha regiment and the 99th Mountain Division in the southern mountains is only 1,200 kilometers. For a special forces regiment with an all-mecha formation, this distance is reached in an instant. The problem is that the 99th Mountain Division is now surrounded by the Strong people. Judging from this incomplete tactical map, there were at least two Strong divisions standing in front of the mecha regiment. It was not clear what the opponent's numbers were, nor whether they were infantry or armored divisions. At this moment, Yi Lexiang's first consideration is how to rescue the 99th Mountain Division from the enemy's encirclement. Although this mountain division temporarily resisted the offensive momentum of Strong's army with the help of the favorable terrain in the mountainous area, it also fell into despair. , lack of supplies and material replenishment, and will gradually lose the initiative to fight in Strong's gradually shrinking encirclement.
"We can send a small team to penetrate the enemy's defense line and enter the encirclement to contact the 99th Mountain Division." Wu Wei walked to the sand table and interrupted Yi Lexiang's thinking.
"Oh? Then what?" Yi Lexiang raised his eyebrows.
¡°Then we can contact the division headquarters of the 99th Division to get the information we want,¡± Wu Wei said, calling out the combat plan he and his staff made together before departure.
Yi Lexiang looked at the electronic plan in hand carefully. This plan was written in great detail, including the infiltration route of the small team, the specific time for each department to cover and launch a feint attack, the handling of emergencies, the evacuation route, etc. It is obvious that Wu Wei and others have indeed put a lot of effort into it. However, after reading the plan, Yi Lexiang's face did not show any joy, but became a little gloomy. The battle plan did not mention the besieged 99th Division, and if the special mecha regiment landed according to this plan, most of them would probably be abandoned on the planet Orite.
"This combat plan is very detailed, and the chance of mission success is very high. The information that the headquarters urgently needs will be safely sent back to the task ship. But" Yi Lexiang's tone became a little cold, "But I have a few questions. First, what should I do with the surrounded 99th Mountain Division and the remaining Charno soldiers? Second, what should I do with the mecha warriors who are responsible for diverting the pursuers after the feint attack on the periphery?" The cold words made the noisy people The command room became unusually quiet.
Facing Yi Lexiang¡¯s doubts, the staff in the command room bowed their heads in shame and remained silent. How could they not know that the trapped 99th Mountain Division and the mecha warriors performing a feint attack mission were in danger, but the mecha regiment that landed had only 3,000 people in total. What role could this manpower play in the entire Orit war situation? ?
"The Republic of Charno has never given up on any of its soldiers who fought bloody battles in its history. From the information we just obtained, we paid a huge price to preserve the Republic of Oret Interstellar Route, although it ultimately failed." Yi Lexiang's The voice became a little deeper, "But I think everyone here knows why the Republic is trying to keep this strategically meaningless route. But now, in the battle plan you just showed, you You want to tell me that I have to give up the more than 40,000 Charno soldiers who are still fighting bloody battles in the southern mountains and sacrifice the brothers of the Special Mecha Regiment? I can tell you clearly that I firmly disagree with this battle plan!" Yi Lexiang said sonorously The powerful voice echoed in the quiet simple command room.
Several military policemen on guard made no secret of the excitement in their eyes. Facing the somewhat angry Yi Lexiang, the staff officers in the command room were also thinking deeply. The war has entered the era of mental warfare. Have the staff officers who are at the rear of the battlefield forgotten the bloody battles on the battlefield with the sound of blood and fire? Have they forgotten the bloody nature that soldiers should have?
"Major General Yi, let's re-examine the battle plan." A young staff officer broke the silence in the command room.
"Yes, now we have some new information in hand, maybe things will turn around." Another staff officer also said.
The atmosphere in the command room became lively. Yi Lexiang's words just now woke up everyone in the command room. No combat plan should abandon its comrades in order to achieve the purpose of completing the mission. If despicable means are used to achieve a noble purpose, then this noble purpose will also become despicable.
Wu Wei looked at the frank smile on the young Yi Lexiang's face and felt a little complicated. He couldn't tell what he felt at the moment.
Yi Lexiang did not join the discussion among the staff. Standing quietly in front of the simulated sand table, he substituted various information on the battlefield into the mysterious symbol system, trying to uncover the truth.Fog shrouded the battlefield. The intention of Strong's commander was obvious, to force the besieged 99th Division into a decisive battle through the shrinking encirclement. However, no tactical layout is perfect. If there is a spear, there must be a shield. The key is to discover the crucial point in the tactical layout.
With the development of science and technology in the interstellar era, the form of war is very different from that in ancient times. The specific application of military strategies has gradually moved from the ground to space. The three-dimensional and vast interstellar space allows strategies and tactics to fully play their role. The battle of interstellar fleets has also become the key to achieving victory in the battle; and due to the existence of "Skynet" in intraplanetary operations, Any military operations and troop movements are almost impossible to hide. Temporary electronic shielding cannot cover a large area, let alone conceal the whereabouts of large troops. Relatively speaking, ground warfare has become simpler. It almost entirely depends on the force commander and combat staff to deduce the enemy's follow-up actions. It is like two chess players playing a two-player strategic board game. Who can be more powerful? In order to accurately deduce the opponent's next move, you can win the final victory.
"Skynet"? An idea flashed in Yi Lexiang's mind, and he asked loudly: "Who has control of "Skynet" now?" The communications staff officer next to him glanced at the signal receiver with data flowing rapidly, "It's still with us. In his hands, it was completely suppressed by Strong." Although he didn't understand why the young major general suddenly asked this, the communications staff member still hurriedly answered.
"Can you find the location of the other party's communication base station?" If you want to suppress the Skynet system, the enemy must set up a large communication base station on the ground. The communication base station is not only responsible for suppressing "Skynet", but also provides communication channels for its own ground troops to ensure smooth combat communications in the entire theater.
"Yes" The electronic signals continuously emitted by large communication base stations are easy to detect, but generally the location of the communication base station is heavily guarded. It can be said to be the most important military location besides the theater headquarters.
Soon the communications staff marked the locations of Strong's communication base stations on the simulation sand table. "Danzai, Poznan, Lodz, Krakow, Lublin" Yi Lexiang carefully studied Strong's five locations. There are five large communication base stations. These five communication base stations just surround the southern mountains. It is obvious that the enemy wants to completely block the electronic signals of Charno's troops in the mountains. The closest to the special mecha regiment is Danze, which is in the defense zone of the two Strong divisions whose numbers have not yet been determined.
Yi Lexiang gently tapped Danze on the simulated sand table and said, "Yes, it's you." Summoning all the combat staff, Yi Lexiang pointed to the simulated sand table and said: "Currently, from the tactical map, we It can be seen that at least six Strong divisions are surrounding the 99th Mountain Division in the mountainous area, and these troops are still advancing, gradually narrowing the encirclement. But the enemy does not know that we still exist on the periphery, so if we want We only need to capture this place to rescue the 99th Division." Yi Lexiang used the electronic pen in his hand to draw a big red cross on "Danze".
Wu Wei said with some confusion: "Seize down the communication base station and create a communication blind spot for the enemy, allowing the 99th Division to take the opportunity to break out. I understand this tactical intention. But." Wu Wei pointed at the two Strong divisions, "Danze is on both sides. How can we break through the division's defense zone with just 3,000 mechas? This may be too difficult."
Yi Lexiang smiled slightly, "The key to the problem lies in the strategic intention of the enemy commander. This is our opportunity."
Everyone in the command room was puzzled. The enemy's intentions were clearly there. By constantly shrinking the encirclement, they were looking for opportunities for a decisive battle with the mountain division. There doesn't seem to be any direct exploitable vulnerability here.
Yi Lexiang gently pushed forward the timeline of the evolution of the simulated sandbox battle situation. As the enemy further narrowed the encirclement, Danze was gradually exposed outside the enemy's defense zone. Now there is no need for Yi Lexiang to explain, everyone understands everything. The large base station is fixed and cannot be moved once it is established, but the enemy is constantly moving forward. Now Danze is behind the enemy's defense line, directly exposed to the mecha regiment.
Yi Lexiang pointed at the sky with his finger, "The enemy has not yet gained control of Skynet, and does not know the existence of our special force, so we will take advantage of this opportunity" He clenched his fist hard and grinned.
The staff members were all digesting Yi Lexiang's idea. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this plan was feasible. Pang Hai couldn't help but chuckled and said: "In this way, we only need to send a small team into the mountainous area in advance to contact the 99th Division, and we can cooperate inside and outside to break through. Trang¡¯s encirclement shouldn¡¯t be very difficult.¡±
"Perhaps it can be simpler," Yi Lexiang said with a smile, "But it depends on whether God can help us. If we can take down Danze without anyone noticing and invade the enemy's communication system, we can directly order The two Strong divisions moved out of the way. The key was how strong the enemy was defending Danzig."
Pang Hai couldn't help but glance at YiAt a glance, this young man's combat ideas are strange, always aiming to reduce casualties. This is not consistent with the views of most commanders. Most commanders, including most of the staff, either aim at winning or annihilating a large number of enemies. However, Yi Lexiang's negative tactical thinking is very different. Rare. But it should be a very happy thing to serve as a soldier under this young man! At this moment, Pang Hai didn't know that there were many staff officers in the headquarters who had the same idea as him.
In the following turbulent years, Yi Lexiang continued to implement this seemingly negative combat idea when he led his invincible army to fight in the interstellar world. It was also because of this that countless heroes rushed to join his command and created the human interstellar world. A legend in history.
