Kexi Lee certainly has reason to be angry.
Although the Beast Slaughter Brigade has subsequently added a lot of soldiers, nearly half of its personnel are still the Beast Slaughter Group he led in the past.
They fought greenskins in the ruins, fought greenskins in space, fought aberrations and cultists in the south, and suppressed rebels when pacifying the eastern provinces
< p>Every soldier of the Beast Slaughter Brigade is a good young man.But many of them died here.
The specific and accurate casualty information of this battle has not yet been released, but based on current estimates, the total losses of the Alliance army will probably exceed 3,000, mostly from the Beast Slaughter Brigade. , a small part came from the Xifeng Brigade, and the 47th Brigade had only a few casualties.
Nearly one-third of these losses were caused by being ambushed while marching on the West Desert Avenue without adequate preparation.
In the battle, the other two-thirds were lost due to the enemy's full resistance.
Among these losses, the 2nd Regiment of the Beast-Slaying Brigade suffered particularly heavy losses.
Nearly the entire regiment was crippled.
The 2nd Regiment has only 9 combat companies in total. Counting some other support troops such as artillery, logistics, engineers, etc. at the regiment headquarters, the total number of people is less than 1,600. .
Now, they have almost no fighting power at all. Although these were the two examples of complete annihilation of the 3rd and 9th companies, other companies also suffered huge casualties in the battle to block the enemy's southward retreat.
According to the current situation, the entire regiment needs to go back to rest and replenish soldiers and equipment before it can regain its combat effectiveness.
That’s no different from starting a new group.
Li Kexi really loved his soldiers as his own children, and could not bear to see the soldiers under his command suffer excessive casualties. But he is a soldier and a qualified commander. If a victory must be achieved at the sacrifice of soldiers, he will pay for it without hesitation.
He understands the principle that kindness does not control soldiers.
But, was the battle they just won really necessary?
They did win a key victory, clearing the final wave for Operation Flash Tail. obstacle.
But in essence, we are still making up for the mistakes made by the 47th Brigade in the south.
If they had not made any mistakes, this battle would not have been necessary at all.
The fifteen thousand mechanical units are firmly locked to the south. The 47th Brigade has secured them, and the alliance army advancing along the West Desert Avenue can reach the Tail Scorpion faster. oasis and achieve strategic goals.
Even if the mechanical legion tried its best to stop them, whether it attacked the 47th Brigade head-on or detoured to the west and blocked the front of the Xifeng Brigade and the Beast-Slaying Brigade, it was still a frontal battle.
Firstly, there will be no chance of being caught off guard by a bomb during the march, and secondly, there will be no massacre.In order to prevent the enemy's evacuation, the soldiers of the Beast Brigade had to fight to the death against a mixed force of infantry, armor, and drones that far exceeded their own in the absence of artillery and the need to temporarily dig fortifications.
"This is a crucial victory, yes, but it is a war that has to be carried out to make up for the big mistakes you made."
"The sacrifice of the soldiers is glorious Yes, the victory achieved by the soldiers is also glorious, but it cannot wash away the shame on you."
Li Kexi was still spraying wildly at the lieutenant colonel and commander of the 47th Brigade.
The lieutenant colonel, who was almost overwhelmed by Tumo Xingzi, lowered his head and did not dare to say a word in reply.
If his troops were in a bloody battle and were overwhelmed by the enemy's defense line, there would still be room for debate. But the fact is that the enemy bypassed his defense line without even encountering a battle, and he was not able to notice it in advance. It was the Air Force brothers who saw the situation during regular patrols and issued a warning to the headquarters. .
First of all, he can't let the enemy go; secondly, he can't know nothing.
He made both of these mistakes.
There is no excuse.
In the end, Li Kexi was tired of spraying.
He said coldly, "I have reported the relevant situation to the general headquarters. You can wait to go to the military court."
Li Kexi, with the rank of colonel, temporarily leads the front line The commander's responsibility is to oversee four brigades, but it does not mean that he has the authority to remove a lieutenant colonel and brigade commander from his post.
But what he said about going to a military court was really not just talk.
He did not have the power to remove the lieutenant colonel, but Yan Fang did.
Soon, the transfer order from the headquarters arrived.
The lieutenant colonel commander of the 47th Brigade and a major chief of staff were evacuated directly on the spot. The deputy brigade commander and deputy chief of staff were on top. Since their qualifications and military ranks were not sufficient, the brigade political commissar of the 47th Brigade temporarily took over the command.
The two people who were dismissed got into the car and headed east in despair, led by a group of military police.
They will first go to the general headquarters where General Yan is located to report the situation, which will also give them a chance to explain the situation reported by Colonel Li Kexi.
But there is not much room for explanation, and another scolding will be inevitable.
Just scolding, that’s easy. After that, they have to go to Fuxing City to be tried by the alliance military court.
The Alliance Military Court is a court that is independent of the normal legal system of the Alliance and specializes in trying active military personnel. It is headed by Major General Thaddeus, the Commissar-General, and assisted by the Alliance Chancellor Lambert.
The person who was dismissed from his post had studied the relevant military regulations and bills, and he probably had a clear idea of what his fate would be in the future.
Life is not over yet. He did not commit the most serious crimes, such as treason, desertion, and disobeying orders from superiors.
PlayThe crimes of neglect of duty and dereliction of duty are the most serious crimes.
In fact, what happened next was similar to his own judgment.
He was dismissed from the military, his military rank was raised to captain, and he was transferred to the civilian department. Six months later, he was transferred to a new unit and served as a battalion commander in a garrison division in the Qinggu area. He spent every day in the jungle dealing with the aberrations that still remained in the southern Qinggu area.
He must still have some ability, otherwise he would not be promoted; even after making big mistakes and suffering big blows, he will always grow. What's more, he only served as a battalion commander in the garrison, so he must be qualified.
It’s impossible for those aberrant monsters to grow brains and engage in detours, detection, and deception to bypass his defenses
Half a month later.
Gu Hang, who was in Fuxing City, received a complete report on Operation Flash Tail from Yan Fangxu.
The entire operation is over.
Before this battle report came, he had already seen the settlement interface from the system panel.
Settlement of the Battle of West Desert
Epic victory, 12,284 gift points obtained
Loss of 17,325, 246,645 wiped out
This data , still very beautiful.
In fact, before Operation Flash Tail, the alliance was already in full-scale battle. In the fierce battles of infiltration and counter-infiltration, it lost more than 13,000 troops.
This was a great loss, especially considering that the fighting lasted less than a month.
Although the Alliance also eliminated more than 50,000 various mechanical units in the process, this kind of war situation facing bloodletting is definitely not what the Alliance wants.
Exchanging human lives for the remains of mechanical units is an absolutely loss-making business in Gu Hang’s opinion.
For Operation Flash Tail, after Yan Fangxu completed the plan report and submitted it, Gu Hang agreed. He is also looking forward to a beautiful result.
Yan Fangxu and a series of soldiers fighting on the front line did not live up to his expectations.
Although there were some unexpected situations in the process, the overall strategy was smooth.
After wiping out the enemy's last maneuverable force, they destroyed the logistics distribution center in the Tail Scorpion Oasis.
What happened next was as expected. After losing important energy sources such as batteries and fuel, all the enemy's frontline troops began to collapse. Troops with small reserves may only have combat capability for two or three days, while those with large reserves may only be destroyed in eight or nine days at most.
They realized that there was no chance of victory and began to retreat. In fact, when the last mobile force was eliminated, the operators behind these mechanical monsters had already realized this and prepared Prepare for the worst.
However, retreat is still not just talk.
Just retreating from the desert area to a place supported by their logistical supply resources will require a quite long journey. Just as human troops go deep into the desert, so do these mechanical legions, with thousands of kilometers of journey to go.
What's more, how could the human troops watch them retreat?
In the entire western theater, the alliance's troops began to attack across the board.
They did not regard destroying the enemy as their first priority, but delayed, harassed, and surrounded them
The four brigades that broke out of the huge salient were defeated by Colonel Li Kexi. Under the command, they also began to move to both sides to outflank the enemy's rear path.
On the entire map, it can be clearly seen that after these four brigades created a large protrusion on the front, they began to move to both sides, with the goal of knocking the enemy out. of posterior truncation.
Of course, this is not perfect. If you encounter a mechanical army that has retreated far behind, you will really fight with all your strength. There are still not enough of them. If you encounter one like this, just let them pass.
But if you encounter one with insufficient energy reserves or an insufficient number of troops, then intercept it decisively.
This fighting pattern lasted for more than ten days.
In the central part of the Western Desert, the enemy's 400,000 mechanical units were in full confrontation with the alliance army. This front line thousands of kilometers wide from north to south collapsed directly.
On the way to the west, a small part of them were destroyed, another part escaped, and the remaining half of the mechanical units were exhausted in the process of escaping or fighting. The energy turned into scrap metal all over the ground, which was effortlessly collected by the Alliance. Except for the samples, the rest were destroyed together.
Even now, this kind of destruction work is still ongoing.
The power of Blackbird Heavy Industries was even driven out of the Western Desert region.
However, Yan Fangxu still has a clear understanding of this.
He gathered all the troops and strictly ordered not to pursue them out of the Western Desert area. Even starting today, the entire western theater is shrinking back, planning to shrink back to the original front.
Gu Hang was still very sorry about this, but he knew that Yan Fangxu’s choice was the right one.
If he could, of course he wanted to go all out and march hundreds of thousands of troops westward to bulldoze the Blackbirds.
But no.
Thaddeus gave us a warning that our own logistics have reached their limit.
In fact, the alliance's logistics is not very strong to begin with, and it relies entirely on the lifeline of the West Desert Avenue. The previous offensive also consumed a large amount of ammunition, food, and medical reserves. At the same time, there are a large number of wounded soldiers who need to be transported.
There were still hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. Before the power ran out, they fled back to the west of the mainland and received reinforcements.
Even, there may be many mechanical units in various places in the western continent.
Blackbird Heavy Industries did not collapse.
If you continue to pursue it, it’s normal for people to push back.
Under this kind of risk, it is a more reasonable choice to be more stable and not make mistakes.
Gu Hang can completely understand this.
But it would indeed be a pity to let the enemy go this time.
Gu Hang has always felt that people should face the most pessimistic plans with the most optimistic attitude.
He estimated that with the level of iron man rebellion like Blackbird Heavy Industries, their recovery speed would be quite fast.
I am afraid that their various production lines have already been running at full capacity. A large number of mechanical units will run off the assembly line, without the need for ten months of pregnancy or military training, and they can be replenished to various fronts very quickly.
In this process, the fastest production speed is probably to use human raw materials to make robots.
This means a huge loss of population.
Gu Hang was very heartbroken by this.
But what can the alliance do?
He has ordered Yan Fangxu to establish a rescue lifeline along the West Desert Avenue to the west, and ordered Lambert to be responsible for The intelligence front made the two to three hundred intelligence officers buried in the west become active.
They will promote the victory of the Alliance, promote the atrocities of Blackbird Heavy Industries using human-made materials to manufacture robots, and promote the existence of a lifeline. Those who are willing can go all the way east, and the Alliance army will pick them up and escape the control of Blackbird Heavy Industry.
However, this strategy may be able to save some people, but for the entire western continent, with a population of more than 15 million, it is impossible to play a savior role.
Firstly, the actions of intelligence personnel are also very limited, and they cannot organize large-scale escape operations; secondly, as refugees move eastward on their own, the probability of escape is very low, and those mechanical units will continue to carry out Patrol; thirdly, the lifeline established by the alliance is also very fragile, so it can be established during the window period when the Blackbird has suffered heavy losses. When the Blackbird regains its breath and the mechanical army returns to the front line, this rescue lifeline may be broken.
