Chapter 533, Pulling and Numbness

The situation in Yuehe VII was completely reversed.

Before this, more than 10 million Alliance Army soldiers led 40 million Allied troops to resist the fierce attack of more than 70 million Princess Rebels, and there was also the threat of orbital firepower in the sky... The battle was very hard and tragic.

And now, they finally turned the tables.

A large number of the Princess Rebels were killed in these three days; and then in the following week, because the organization was broken up, they were strongly cleared by the Alliance ground forces, and the losses were also very heavy.

In just ten days, tens of millions of traitors of the Princess Legion died in Yuehe VII.

This loss is almost equivalent to the loss of the Princess Legion's fierce attack on various fortresses on the entire planet in the past three months.

If there is more time, such as a year or two, the Alliance has the hope of launching a large-scale annihilation operation in Yuehe VII, and all 70 million Princess traitors will die here.

But no.

The Fury Corps has reacted.

They can't accept such a big loss in Yuehe VII.

70 million Princess Legion! It's not the defense army! It's the Princess Legion, which was reorganized from the original auxiliary army of the regiment!

This is the core force of Iron Fury Stone, apart from the Space Marines, the Princess Legion, which is their Star Army. In the Fury Flame regiment heading south, the total number of land forces is hundreds of millions, even billions. However, the Princess Legion is only a small part of it, at most 200 to 300 million.

It is unacceptable to just throw away 70 million.

What's more, it's not really hopeless.

The main reason for the predicament of Yuehe VII is that the attackers lost orbital shelter. And all this was caused by a surprise attack by the Wrath Owl.

Although surprised by the battlefield dominance shown by the rare Holy Grail-class battlecruiser, there are still two battleship-level large ships here.

There has been news that the two large ships have come to Yuehe VII.

In a head-on battle, the Wrath Owl cannot fight against any of them, let alone two at the same time.

By then, the battle situation on Yuehe VII.3 planet is likely to return to its previous state.

Even worse.

But the Alliance does not intend to give up this planet.

After losing Yuehe VII, other planets behind will not have such good defense conditions.

The two commanders of the Alliance Vanguard Command believe that Yuehe VII is likely to become a focal area in the next period of time. The two sides may have to fight repeatedly around this place. The investment of a large number of troops, including naval forces, will turn this place into a meat grinder, and there will be a result only after one side can no longer bear the cost.

In this way, although the surprise attack of the Angry Owl on Yuehe VII is very morale-enhancing, it will not actually have a particularly big change in the overall situation.

However, it still has significance.

The lives of more than 10 million elite members of the Royal Princess Legion, plus the destruction of two moon-class cruisers, this is the meaning!

It is foreseeable that the war between the Alliance and Iron Fury Stone will become very large in the future. Even this kind of battle, which can only be regarded as mutual probing and vanguard collision, has involved several star regions and dozens of planets.

At this scale, the war is not the gain and loss of a city or a place, but a comprehensive confrontation of the national strength of both sides. They are all producing blood and losing blood, and the consumption of manpower is critical.

At this time, at a relatively low cost, we can kill more enemies, and it will be easier to bear the pressure later.

Moreover, the space created by this victory allows the alliance to do a lot of things.

In the past ten days, the navy has been bombing the enemies on the surface, the army has been clearing the enemy's manpower, and the alliance's logistics forces have not been idle.

One after another, large transport ships, carrying scarce supplies, equipment, and troops of the surface troops, landed on the ground to replenish the troops.

If the enemy's battleships come later and lose the orbital advantage, it will not be so convenient to transport things in. It will take a great risk and a great loss.

Rather than taking the risk of transportation at that time, it is better to seize the opportunity to transport enough now.

At the same time, some troops that are no longer suitable for continuing to fight should also take this opportunity to withdraw.

The 5th Army Group, the 311th Skeleton Division is one of them.

That is Xiong Lei's unit.

Although he suffered orbital bombardment, he did not die.

Although he did not die, his troops were almost wiped out.

After the orbital bombardment, there were probably only 2,000 to 5,000 survivors from the three divisions guarding the fortress. The remaining hundreds of thousands of people almost all died in the fierce bombardment for several hours, or were wiped out by the princess rebels who attacked and swept into the fortress.

Xiong Lei, who survived by chance, had to flee with the remaining soldiers. Under the constant pursuit, only less than a thousand people were truly safe in the end.

This is a skeleton division, plus two large infantry divisions, and the only people left after a battle.

Obviously, this is called "being eliminated as a whole".

To this extent, Xiong Lei's troops were not even worth replenishing.

What he needed was not replenishment.

He and the hundreds of survivors of his troops boarded a transport ship that had just unloaded the cargo and left Yuehe VII sadly.

The war here is not over yet, but Xiong Lei's war is over.

Recalling the familiar faces and waking up in the dark cabin of the transport ship, he always felt that it would be great if he followed his brothers and died on the Cross-River VII?

That way, there would be no need to endure the current torture.

The transport ship sent him to a world behind called 'Ramilo'.

Here, it can be regarded as a large logistics base. A large number of war supplies and soldiers were gathered here, and then they were ready to board ships and be sent to where they were needed on the front line.

There are only a few people like Xiong Lei and others who have withdrawn from the front line.

He fell to the ground and entered a military hospital. After staying for two days, a political commissar wearing a red hat found him.

"Colonel Xiong Lei?"

"It's me." Xiong Lei's voice was extremely dark.

He raised his head and looked at the other person.

It was a rather young face, with a vitality that had never been beaten, and it was so bright that it was dazzling.

Two vertical bars and a star sign represent his rank of major. The red trim on the epaulettes represents the identity of the political commissar.

The red hat raised his hands in salute, and then introduced himself: "I am Zhan Weidong, and I have been ordered to assist you in rebuilding the 311th Division of the 5th Army Group!"

"Rebuilding?" Xiong Lei's eyes were a little confused, "I thought it was going to be disbanded."

"How could it be?" Zhan Weidong said with a smile, "The 311th Division is a meritorious unit."

"A meritorious unit that was defeated, right?"

Zhan Weidong put away his smile and said seriously: "You look a little decadent, and I can understand your mood after losing the army."

"How understandable are you! A recruit who just left the military academy..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhan Weidong on the opposite side shouted back with a louder voice: "You are even more unbearable when you are like this!"

"Cheer up, Colonel Xiong Lei, not only the 311th Division, but also the other two divisions. The heroes gave their lives in the war, and their will remains in the living."

Seeing that Xiong Lei was silent, Zhan Weidong's tone became calmer.

He talked about the specific work: "In addition to the seven army groups brought by General Yan, the army brothers coming from the rear also have more than 30 million unorganized troops pulled out of the new barracks. In addition, there are We have elites selected from various local defense forces in the Menghe Star Region, and there are 30 million of them. These reserve troops are to be filled into the troops fighting on the front lines, to supplement the troops, and to rebuild the organization for emptying. "

"I will be your partner."

"Although you may miss your previous partner more, I believe I can show enough professionalism to satisfy you."

"I have read your resume, and I think you are worthy of being an alliance hero, and I hope you can show enough professionalism. Otherwise, I can only regretfully report to my superiors to make it clear that you are no longer suitable to lead the army. You don’t want the 311th Division to be commanded by others in the future, right?”

After a moment of silence, Xiong Lei said: "Are all the younger generation of political commissars who have recently graduated from Zhongsi College as eloquent as you?"

"Maybe I'm the special one too."

"Huh..." Xiong Lei took a long breath and asked, "How long do we have?"

"Five months." Zhan Weidong said, "The soldiers from the Dragon Eagle Star Region have all gone through the alliance training camp, so there is no need to worry about their level; although the local recruits from the Menghe Star Region are somewhat uneven, they are still good. Carefully selected personnel from each planetary defense force, with more or less level guarantees, will form our new force on a 5:5 basis. We have five months to reorganize and form the force. Combat effectiveness. Five months later, the headquarters may give us an order at any time to return to the battlefield. "

Xiong Lei smiled bitterly and said: "After changing the blood up and down, can we still call the 311th Division?"

"It depends on you. I believe that with you here, the spiritual inheritance of the 311th Division can be passed on." As he said that, Zhan Weidong's face regained its previous energetic smile.

He extended his hand to Xiong Lei.

Xiong Lei looked at him deeply: "I hope your professional level is as good as your speaking level."

As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand and held it firmly with his new political commissar.

…

Like the 311th Division, division and brigade-level units that have been eliminated or beaten to pieces will be rebuilt in a similar way.

In fact, Xiong Lei's situation has been settled. After all, as a division commander and the highest military officer of the army, he survived a brutal battle.

Most of the troops that needed to be rebuilt actually lost their leaders.

For example, the two divisions 077 and 240 fought side by side with the 311th Skeleton Division. The person with the highest military rank who survived was just a major commander.

At this time, the situation of rapid promotion during the war happened again.

The major commander was directly awarded a new military rank by the line of fire and became a lieutenant colonel. As a temporary division commander, like Xiong Lei, he began to reorganize his 077 division; the other 240 division, which did not even have school-level officers, was directly recruited from other divisions. The army transferred a lieutenant colonel to serve as division commander and shoulder the task of reconstruction.

Their organization sequence still belongs to the 5th Army Group, and they will return to the battlefield after the reorganization is completed.

As Zhan Weidong said, these 60 million reserve troops, as well as the increasing number of reserve troops that will arrive with the subsequent army, will be used in a similar way to supplement the front-line troops that are short of personnel, or simply used to rebuild the numbers.

The Alliance will use this method to ensure that the organization of each front-line combat unit does not shrink too seriously.

Only with continuous blood transfusion can the combat effectiveness be maintained.

...

Back to the front-line battle, when the two battleships of Fury Flame arrived at Yuehe VII together, the Fury Owl had to withdraw.

But it did not leave the galaxy, but cruised outside the planet's orbit, staring at two big guys that were bigger than it.

Relying on the fact that the two battleships could not outrun it at all, the Fury Owl was even very brave and often launched some attacks.

Show up, give two shots, and then run away when the battleships did not react.

Or, it will also lead a team to harass the subsequent transport fleet that comes from the jump point to transport supplies to the ground. This forced the two large ships of the Fury Flame Regiment to not be able to provide orbital support properly, and they had to withdraw at least one of them to participate in the escort operation. Otherwise, without the battleships, the Furious Owl would plunder the Fury Flame's transport fleet with almost one hit.

The battlecruiser showed its role.

Its ability cannot be ignored.

The two battleships of Fury Flame were stretched to the limit.

If it was replaced by an ordinary fast cruiser, the battleship would not even look at it.

But the battlecruiser is not the same. If you ignore it, it can stir up the wind and rain unscrupulously, and even give a "heavenly punishment" from a distance. It is also a great threat to the battleship. After all, it is an X-class light spear array, which cannot be underestimated.

But if you try to control it, you can't control it. The Holy Grail class runs too fast and slips without mercy.

Under its pull, there are obviously two enemy battleships in the Yuehe VII galaxy, but the orbital threat suffered by the Alliance army on the ground is actually similar to before!

After all, the planet, which had just been replenished with supplies and even had time to rearrange and strengthen several orbital gun fortresses, had a strong defense capability.

On the contrary, although the princess rebels on the ground did not have to worry about being bombed, it would take time to reorganize the previously dispersed organization, which gave the Alliance army an opportunity.

Seeing that Yuehe VII was about to become a long-lasting, meat grinder-like battlefield where both sides bled each other, they quickly eliminated some of the living forces while the enemy's chaos was not over.

Killing one more enemy at this time might save one person from dying later.

But at this moment, the Alliance discovered that these imperial traitors from the north actually ran away!

After restoring their organization and organization, a large number of princess rebels moved to an area where the orbital guns were cleared, boarded transport ships, and evacuated from the ground.

The entire evacuation operation lasted for a month. Most of the princess rebels withdrew from the surface and left Yuehe VII under the escort of battleships.

They gave up this galaxy.
