Zhou Yang took General Liu and sailed directly to the station on the battleship of the 25th Army Corps.
The legion's defense line is the Dashao Mountains. The total length of the defense line is about 90,000 miles, which is the shortest section in the central theater.
In these ninety thousand miles, in addition to the god-level formations, there are 169 top-level formations, including thirty-eight key defense areas. Within these key defense areas, seventeen more are designated. In key defense areas, the strength of the 25th Army Corps is mainly distributed in these seventeen defense areas.
The defense line of Dashao Mountain is not the focus of the enemy's attack, because there are god-level masters on both sides, and the weak points of the formation in the defense area are the least. Originally, the 25th Army Corps was the easiest unit, and in fact it was so. There had never been much fighting on this line before.
However, the situation is not that simple. Although there are no major battles, small-scale battles occur every day.
The dark army on the opposite side selected the eleven weakest areas and attacked day and night. Moreover, the number of people attacking each time was not large. They only formed a battle formation of tens of thousands of people, and the attacking leader's cultivation level was not very high.
It turns out that the heavenly army knew the battle formations of the dark army very well and had corresponding means of cracking and defending them. However, in recent times, the opponent's battle formation has undergone subtle changes. The scale of the battle formation has not increased, but the attack power has gradually increased.
In terms of a battle formation with ten thousand people, the overall attack power was only equivalent to the semi-god realm before, but before the war, it suddenly increased to the quasi-god realm. Moreover, they also invented the technique of superimposing battle formations, and the attacks of several battle formations with ten thousand people The power has almost reached the level of a god.
It turned out that the enemy army was honing new battle formations before, but the changes were not big each time. This was why the leader of the 25th Army did not realize this, and suffered a big loss.
Some time ago, the enemy suddenly launched a large-scale attack, investing nearly a million troops in six unexpected positions and launching a fierce attack at the same time.
The strength of the 25th Legion was also over one million, but they were caught off guard by the battle formations of both sides. The previously evenly matched battle formations clashed, but now it turned into a one-sided massacre. In the first battle, 350,000 troops were lost, the leader of the legion was seriously injured, a demigod, and two generals were killed.
If Commander Lingyun hadn't come to help at the critical moment, Dashan Mountain would have been doomed to fall.
The Twenty-fifth Legion did not expect that the opponent would give up the eleven weak points previously selected and instead use the other six positions. They did not expect that the attack power of the opponent's battle formation would suddenly increase. The number of people remained the same, but the attack power was at least Doubled, these are the two key points of failure.
When Marshal Lingyun came to help, his defense line suddenly encountered a fierce attack. As a last resort, Lingyun asked for help from the east front and retreated to his headquarters. The 25th Army Corps once again fell into a bitter battle. The leader died in the battle, and the Army suffered heavy casualties. The situation was very serious. critical.
At this time, Marshal Tianquan happened to be patrolling the eastern front on behalf of the deputy leader. After receiving the call for help, he immediately led the team and rushed there. They finally blocked the offensive of the dark army, but the 25th Army was almost crippled.
After the war stabilized, not only the twenty-fifth legion, but also the various departments of the heavenly army began to pay attention to the new battle formation of the dark army.
After listening to General Liu's story, Zhou Yang also fell into deep thought.
"The general will wait and see the deputy commander!" After arriving at the main peak of Dashao Mountain, the deputy generals of the nine towns, as well as the Chinese army staff generals and staff came to see him.
Zhou Yang glanced at them and frowned.
At the level of deputy general, his cultivation level is at least the peak of the late Golden Core stage. However, among these nine people, four are actually in the late Golden Core stage. The Chinese Army Staff General has just entered the late stage, while the Chinese Army Staff is only in the middle stage. This shows that twenty-fifth The legion's combat effectiveness is extremely low.
There was no other way. In the previous battle, in addition to losing nearly half of the troops, the commander-in-chief's troops in each town also suffered heavy casualties. Since they were not replenished in time, they could only transfer the generals from within and transfer several officers with late Jindan strength to the commander-in-chief. The position of lieutenant general.
Currently, all nine military towns are short of personnel. The largest town has only 85,000 people, and the smallest town has less than 60,000 people. The current 25th Army Corps is short of major generals and its combat strength is greatly reduced.
"Damn, let me take charge of such a legion. If there is a war, it would be strange not to suffer defeat!" Zhou Yang cursed in his heart, feeling deeply helpless at the same time.
Even with the 100,000 troops from the Agni Fire Empire, each town is still seriously short of manpower. How can we defend the Great Shake Mountain Range!
What's even more terrible is that the dark army's attack points are very selective. In addition to the seventeen key defense areas, the other 21 key defense areas can be used as attack points.
If this is the case, how can a mere few hundred thousand troops be enough?
Zhou Yang sat down behind Shuai An, his face very gloomy. The Chinese army staff hurriedly served the tea and then stood carefully.
"Each town will report on the defense situation and enemy troop movements." Zhou Yang glanced at the people below, then his eyes fell on the map on the commander's case, and then said calmly.
"Our first town is seriously short of manpower and combat strength..."
"Okay, this commander is not blind, let's get to the point!" Zhou Yang directly interrupted the First Zhentong Army Discipline Biography and said coldly.
"Yes, yes!" Ji Chuan wanted to complain, but after being scolded by Zhou Yang, he shrunk in fright and did not dare to say anything else.
What each town said was unremarkable. Although they did not dare to mention the losses, the implication behind their words was that their troops were seriously insufficient and needed to be replenished.
"General Wang, even the military adviser, you two should talk about it." Zhou Yang looked at the Chinese Army General and his staff.
"Reporting to the deputy commander, everything the towns said is true and not false. But..." General Wang Cha stopped talking.
Zhou Yang glanced at him and said nothing.
"Oh, in my humble opinion, if the enemy launches another attack, these seventeen key defensive areas should not be attack points." Wang Cha seemed to have made up his mind and said what he thought.
"Oh, go on." Zhou Yang became interested.
"Before the last war, the enemy attacked eleven key areas in succession, just to confuse us, but actually chose six other places that we did not expect. After that, our army designated these seventeen points as key defense areas. , most of the troops are also deployed here, and the reserve team mainly patrols the other 21 key defense areas. This strategy is correct. However, just a few days ago, the enemy army dispatched a battle formation of ten thousand people to concentrate their attacks. A point of defense for the reserve team.”
"But this doesn't explain the problem. Those points are not suitable for large-scale battles, let alone large-scale battle formations. Maybe this is still their strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west!" Ji Chuan frowned.
"Yes, this doesn't explain the problem." Other deputy generals of the unified army also agreed.
Zhou Yang said nothing, looked at Wang Cha and motioned for him to continue.
"After that battle, the enemy army was in urgent need of rest and recuperation, so there was no fighting during this period. However, their scouts never rested for a moment. They probed various defense areas of our army every day, and they knew our defense situation very well. , they know that these seventeen key defense areas are heavily guarded, so they will never choose these attack points."
