Chapter 678: The Fall of the 19th Army (Part 2)
677. The Fall of the 19th Army (Part 2)
For the residents of Planet Haven, this is destined to be a sleepless night.
The sky was constantly flashing with violent flashes of light, just like the sun that was impossible to look directly at, almost lighting up the entire sky. What followed was a light blue light curtain, which was the planetary shield blocking the light from the nuclear bombing.
From time to time, fighter jets and spaceships can be seen taking off to attack, but none of them can come back.
The giant cannons of the orbital defense system are also constantly bombarding the sky, but people don't know whether such attacks are effective. At least, the bombing from space has never stopped.
After Global Radio broadcast the news for less than 10 minutes, the signal was suddenly interrupted. People living nearby saw a large number of military police quickly surrounding the place, but the commanders of these military police were After the mysterious man sniped and fell into chaos, they were greeted by a violent explosion.
Several of the highest-level prisons in the cities on the planet Haven were successively captured. Someone killed all the guards in a short time and opened the door. As the headquarters of the 19th Army, many extremely vicious and serious criminals were imprisoned inside, and these people fled one after another.
What’s even more deadly is that many of these felons are Mugari! Moreover, many are political prisoners!
Hundreds of years ago, the Mugari people stood up to resist the rule of the Galactic Republic, but were quickly suppressed. This is why a large number of Mugari people left their homeland.
Even after the influx of a large number of humans, which brought huge amounts of capital, the planet developed rapidly, and its political environment continued to move closer to the Republic, and eventually became one of the most stable planets ruled by the Galactic Republic in the Outer Rim Star Region, but it still There is no hiding the hostility of many M'gari towards the Galactic Republic.
Among the total population of 1.5 billion on Planet Havin, the Mugari people account for one-third, 500 million people!
If in the past, when the rule of the Republic was very stable, these Mugari people had no idea, then now, the 19th Army of the Republic is in danger of defeat, and the extremists who were imprisoned are After being released, the consequences can be imagined!
......
At the same time, 20 warships that looked like buckets appeared in front of the 19th Army defense line on the planet Karl.
These battleships are 310 meters long and look like a stubby bucket. From the appearance, they have no armament except for 6 close-range anti-aircraft guns that provide basic protection capabilities.
These battleships stopped very far away from the defense line of the planet Karl. Then four huge launch ports were opened on the battleship. Along with a violent fluctuation of anti-matter energy, four huge missiles were fired directly. !
This is really a huge missile, 50 meters long and 6 meters in diameter. The missile itself is bigger than most frigates!
After a while, these warships fired missiles again.
This is the fourth civilization’s weapon for attacking—the Ogrov Torpedo Cruiser (Ogrov Torpedo Cruiser)! It is a special battleship used by the Emergency Traders Alliance to attack strong interstellar bases in "Original Sins of a Solar Empire". The battleship is 310 meters long, has a crew of 150, and is equipped with 6 close-range anti-aircraft guns and four large missile launchers, with 50 rounds of ammunition.
The missile launched by the Ogre-class torpedo cruiser is an extremely enlarged version of the proton torpedo, developed by the diligent Vathians. There is no technical content, it is just extremely powerful. It is equipped with a shield generator, some induced bombs, an anti-jamming system, and even no guidance.
This makes this giant proton torpedo, which Tang Xiao personally named 'Big Ivan', completely incapable of attacking warships, but it can be used to attack interstellar bases, armed space stations, and the Death Star, Midpoint station, such a fixed target is very effective. 50 meters in length and 6 meters in diameter, it is filled with proton warheads. The power of the explosion is simply insane!
The Vathians seemed to be particularly talented at such silly, big, black and thick things. The same was true for the Agonev-class interstellar base, and the same was true for this giant proton torpedo. This made Tang Xiao has always felt that they actually have Lao Maozi's traditional artistic skills.
After the first wave of Big Ivan super proton torpedoes was launched, Matt Horner immediately led the fleet towards the defenders of the Karl Planet defense line. His goal was to prevent these defenders from giving Big Ivan to the enemy. Intercepted.
And now the defenders of Planet Karl have only 10 Jaeger-class battlecruisers and about 100 small battleships left. The number of fighter jets is less than 5,000, and most of them are driven by new pilots. They are completely unable to deal with Matt Huo. Na's powerful A fleet attacked.
After a salvo of missiles from the Masha-class heavy missile cruiser, a large group of Ghost fighters rushed forward and attacked all the Republic fighters that wanted to intercept the Great Ivan. At the same time, the Cole-class battlecruisers also began to attack The armed space station opened fire, leaving them no room for more artillery fire to intercept the super proton torpedoes.
With a burst of pale blue light flashing violently, the first Big Ivan super proton torpedo hit one of the armed space stations. The terrible proton cloud collapsed, generating extremely powerful energy. Then came the second and third one!
The shield of the armed space station was quickly defeated, and then the space station itself could not support it for long.
In the violent explosion, the first space station exploded and disintegrated.
On the afternoon of August 18th, Galaxy Standard Time, Matt Horner led the Fourth Civilization Fleet A through the ruined defense line of Planet Karl. When the defense line collapsed, Planet Karl had already announced its surrender.
At 19:12 on the evening of August 18, 50 battleships of Fleet A left the hyperspace channel and appeared in the outer orbit of the planet Haven, joining General Severance Tann's raid fleet.
At 21:27, Fleet A began an orbital bombardment of the planetary shield of Planet Havin.
At 22:45, Planet Haven announced its surrender.
Admiral Matt Horner and Severance Tann took a shuttle and landed in the sector capital of the planet Haven, taking over control of the planet and the former Governor Suramar. head.
The 19th Army of the Galactic Republic, codenamed Dark Saber, was established on May 23. It was destroyed when the Fourth Civilization captured the capital on August 18. It only existed for less than three months.
The next day, the Mugaari people on the planet Havin announced the establishment of an independent government and became a member of the fourth civilization, publicly announcing their participation in the Confederation of Independent Systems.
Even though it had been expected, the destruction of the 19th Army made the Galactic Republic very nervous. The Supreme Strategic Command was eager to raise a batch of fleets, including Inquisitor-class battleships and Invincible-class battleships. Some old battleships went to the planet Eriadu and were handed over to the 18th Army to resist the forces of the Dawn Planet.
When these fleets arrived, in the governor's capital of the 18th military sector capital of the planet Eriadu, there was a man with a high hairline, thin cheeks, and sharp eyes, like an eagle. The middle-aged man was clasping his hands behind his back and looking out the window at the dark night sky.
"I will give you all support, and have only one goal - to destroy the Dawn Planet! I don't want to leave anyone alive." Darth Sidious's distorted voice came from the holographic projection behind him, "You are the best general on my side, and I believe you can do it... Wilhuff Tarkin."
