    Chapter 221 The Sixth Legion and Crete

    The Republic of Charno once had a marshal and three imperial generals. The old marshal Bai Weiqi has passed away.  Among the three generals, Huang Huang died in battle due to the death of his eldest grandson and became ill; Bo Shengguo took the blame for the "Bo Ningyan Incident" and retired to the mountains. Currently, Ouyang is the only one who is still in charge of the overall situation at the headquarters.  Saiyan is a veteran.  In the eyes of some people, Ouyang Saiya is the spokesperson of the old military faction. Of course, Ouyang Saiya himself does not think so; Lieutenant General Bu Yun and Yang Haojun, who defected from the "Holy Alliance", are Charno's new military leaders.  Lao represents another force; as for the rising Yi Lexiang, in the eyes of many people it is only a potential stock with investment value.  However, after Yi Lexiang used military means to purge the Capital Star Twenty-Six Family, not many people held this view. They regarded Yi Lexiang and his team as a third-party emerging force that kept pace with the old and new factions.  .  Of course, all this is speculation from other interstellar empires. The truth is that with the defection of Yang Haojun, the current actual controller of Charno's military power is the seemingly young general Yi Lexiang; and in the near future, the four major  After the reorganization of the Starfleet is completed, it is foreseeable that Yi Lexiang will become the uncrowned king above all Charno forces.  This is why Wu Wei dared to design a plan against the family's power.

    "At present, the main forces of the "Ninth Fleet" and "Abyss" are concentrated in two major interstellar channels, and it is difficult to mobilize them from the front line. Anokhi's other two main fleets have not yet set off, and they cannot be counted on for the time being. If you want to  To make a fuss about the Danube Star Territory, I'm afraid we can only use the new army of the academy that we put together temporarily!" Bo Jiangang analyzed.

    Several generals who attended the meeting nodded in agreement. This is the biggest problem at present.  Charno has always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the "Imperial Alliance". One of the main reasons is the lack of military strength.  Several years of the Patriotic War have emptied almost all of Charno's strength. Except for the four reorganized legions, most of the troops are composed of new soldiers. Both combat effectiveness and fighting will require long-term training.

    "There are still my personal guards that can be used!" Yi Lexiang's answer was as expected by everyone. Just looking at his radiant eyes, you can understand how eager this young general is to return to the battlefield.  Personally command your own army.

    "No!" Bo Jiangang directly expressed his negative opinion.  Anokhi's two fleets have not yet completed the popularization of "spiritual guidance". This work still needs to be completed by Yi Lexiang and his team before they enter the interstellar battlefield.  The most important thing is that Yi Lexiang is now like a priceless national treasure in the eyes of many big guys who know the inside story. As long as Yi Lexiang is around, Charno can quickly build a ground machine with amazing combat effectiveness at any time.  Troop A.

    Although the times are developing, and the main factor in winning or losing wars has shifted from the ground to the sky, in the end, we still cannot get rid of the "ground attack", which has been an eternal step for thousands of years. Human beings are like the birds that soar in the sky, no matter where they stay in the sky  How long will it take before it finally falls back to the ground?

    With the fall of Kador, the last natural moat, the military has begun to formulate a combat plan called "Scorched Earth", the main content of which is to prepare for a comprehensive blocking war on the surface of the planet.  Charno, whose national power is declining day by day, can no longer support the high-cost interstellar space war. These Charno soldiers in adversity have to choose another road full of thorns to save themselves.  It is foreseeable that in the near future, the war situation on the Charno battlefield will gradually shift from the sky to the ground.  The importance of Yi Lexiang has also become more prominent.  This plan will inevitably be accompanied by huge casualties, and is likely to stimulate the Imperials to carry out more "planetary destruction" operations.  But this kind of extermination war behavior cannot become the main theme of the war after all.  If this kind of action is taken too much, it will inevitably lead to condemnation and intervention from the entire human world.  Therefore, after many consultations and deductions, the military finally adopted the cruel "scorched earth operations" plan.

    "It will take at least a month for Anokhi's two fleets to reach the area under my control. In addition, they have to avoid detection by the Empire and the "Holy Alliance" on the way. This time is likely to be longer. During this time,  We can't do nothing. The only ones that can be used now without causing a chain reaction on the current defense line are my personal guards and the new academy army. The new academy army has good combat qualities, but they lack actual combat experience and need a  With the cooperation of an experienced army, the Guards are undoubtedly the best choice." Yi Lexiang understood what Bo Jiangang was worried about.  But there was nothing he could do if he sent new recruits who had just gone through months or even weeks of preliminary military training onto the battlefield.  No matter how sophisticated the military's idea is, the casualty rate of such a unit on the battlefield will be astonishingly high.  The "Imperial Alliance", a huge war machine, even with its endless supply of soldiers, did not choose to engage in a war with Charno that lasted for several years in order to train the new army.

     Faced with Yi Lexiang's reasonable and firm answer, everyone in the conference room looked at each other. They knew that Yi Lexiang was right, but doing so undoubtedly faced great risks.  The battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that all military operations will be successful.  Once something unexpected happens to Yi Lexiang, a general who is extremely important to the entire Charno, the final result is likely to be catastrophic.  This is a dilemma.

    In the end, Yi Lexiang's decision was passed at an internal meeting of the Military Committee.  This decision confused both Bo Jiangang and Ye Haoran.  Fu Cailei and Bu Yun, who were supposed to firmly oppose Yi Lexiang's decision, unexpectedly voted in favor and ultimately contributed to the adoption of the decision.  In fact, there is a little-known episode here. Before the final vote, Fu Cailei, who was far away in Annuoji, had a secret conversation with Mi Zhiqing of the "Akashic Secret Society" through a neutrino communicator.  .

    When the helplessness of reality envelopes the heart, people often choose to believe in some illusory things that cannot be explained by science. Even a star-famous scientific giant like Fu Cailei is no exception.  Just like now, Mi Zhiqing is one of the few "prophetists" in the entire galaxy, and his words undoubtedly contributed to the decision to lead the army through Yi Lexiang himself.  Of course, Fu Cailei did not know the specific content of the secret conversation between Yi Lexiang and several wise men.  If he knew, he would definitely understand that since Yi Lexiang is the so-called "traitor" in the mouth of the "prophet", nothing about him will definitely appear in the "Tianji Net", and Mi Zhiqing will naturally not know about Yi Lexiang.  Happy future.  What he said was originally entrusted by Yi Lexiang to deal with Fu Cailei.  This secret was not revealed by Fu Cailei unintentionally until many years later during a chat with Mi Zhiqing, but by then the entire interstellar situation had undergone earth-shaking changes.

    The "Doltat" landing craft is likened to a "garbage truck" by imperial soldiers. This landing craft, which can carry one hundred and fifty soldiers at a time and is covered with thick outer armor, has been in service in the military for many years.  Beyond the service age of many soldiers.  This old-fashioned landing craft looks more like a huge iron can from the outside. It is only equipped with two automatic cannons and does not have a steering function. It can only land along the established track; the thick metal armored sealed cabin  There are no portholes on the surface. Staying in such a landing craft is like staying in a huge metal coffin. Once it is released, there are only two results waiting for you, either being shot down by the enemy's intensive artillery fire, or falling to the ground alive.

    At the moment, the sky above the planet Crete is filled with such "garbage trucks". The firepower network constructed by ground anti-aircraft firepower pours firepower desperately into the air. Imperial landing craft are constantly being hit and turned into bright fireworks.  For the Sixth Army on the ground defense, these landing craft that do not change their trajectory at all are like living targets. Experienced gunners can hit these huge iron shells without even the need for an intelligent auxiliary aiming system.  However, the defensive capabilities of these old-fashioned landing craft do have their own unique features, and it often takes several consecutive hits to destroy a "Doltat" landing craft.

    General Sussman is the commander-in-chief of the empire responsible for this landing operation. This big general, who is 1.87 meters tall and has a sturdy back and waist, comes from the Yale Empire of the "Imperial Alliance" and is known for his bravery and good combat skills.  The strength of the Yale Empire can only be regarded as lower than average in the "Imperial Alliance". In this war against Charno, they tried their best to gather the size of three main fleets. However, in the battle of the "Imperial Alliance"  In the sequence, the combat effectiveness of the Yale Empire's army is well known.  It is understandable that the Imperial High Command assigned the task of attacking the planet Crete to the Yale Empire.

    At this moment, facing the constant sirens of the landing craft crashing on the screen, Susman, the iron-blooded general, did not even blink, as if nothing could shake his steely nerves.  On the contrary, as the landing craft got closer and closer to the ground, the sound of battle damage alarms became more and more intensive, and Sussman's body showed a toughness.

    The plan for this landing is very simple: use the army and aviation to seize the landing point, use transport ships to bring reinforcements, expand the occupied area and then release large troops and heavy equipment, and finally occupy the entire Crete.  The 22nd Aviation Corps, which was supposed to cooperate with the landing force, failed to arrive on time due to a sudden interstellar storm. Sussman had to order the Yale 5th Marine Division to launch a landing operation.  This undoubtedly increased the battle loss rate of the Fifth Marine Division.  However, Sussman didn't care about these. His eyes were fixed on the landing point. As long as the 5th Marine Division could open up the situation, he believed that the brave and capable Yale Ground Corps would be enough to complete the task of occupying the planet Crete.
