Chapter 698: Battle of Planet Lorta
697, Battle of Planet Lorta
In the middle of the Milky Way, the area under the jurisdiction of the 19th Army of the former Republic, Planet Lorta.
This planet belonged to the Sith Empire thousands of years ago. It was a relatively remote weapons testing base of the Sith Empire. It was later destroyed during the war, but some industrial facilities still remained.
In the following time, the indigenous people on this planet were still full of violence and expansionist tendencies, and were only forced to submit to the Republic by force.
The Lota people are a race with human genes, but their skin is slightly rougher and they have the custom of tattooing their arms. Otherwise, they are no different from humans.
But even if the Lota people were not interested in the Republic, when the armies of the Fourth Civilization began to land on the Lota planet, they still encountered stubborn resistance. The reason was very strange, even if they were from the Sith Empire. After all, the Lothars actually want to be dominated by the Hutts. They always believed that the Hutt Empire would one day rise again and sweep across the entire galaxy.
In fact, if you dig deeper, you will find that many Lotta people are engaged in smuggling and mercenary work. Looking at the smuggling industry in the entire galaxy, the Hutts say that they are second, and no one dares to compete for this. First.
They are very martial and have a certain industrial base, so their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and they even retain a large smuggling fleet.
After the news came that the planet Havin was captured by the fourth civilization, the Lotta people, sensing that the situation was not good, flew out their smuggling fleet. Soon, the fleet of the fourth civilization arrived, but the Lota people refused to surrender, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.
At the same time, the Lota people's smuggling fleet also began to roam around the entire area under the jurisdiction of the original 19th Army, fighting guerrillas everywhere and harassing the supply lines of the Fourth Civilization Fleet.
At this time, Wilhuff Tarkin, the governor of the 18th Army, also approached the Lota people and began to secretly help them, secretly sending the supplies that the guerrilla fleet urgently needed. Support this fleet to continue harassing the rear of the fourth civilization.
For this kind of battle, Severance Tann simply dismissed it and left all the work to her adjutant Lin Nanyi. The euphemistic name was to let him practice more, but in reality I just don't like this kind of fighting.
On the contrary, Admiral Matt Horner worked hard without complaint, attending to any problems and putting out fires everywhere. And Lin Nanyi finally lived up to Severance Tann's cultivation of him, and also cooperated with Matt Horner to encircle the Lota people's guerrilla fleet and force them out of several major hyperspace channels. , to maintain smooth supply lines.
However, the Lota fleet's attacks continued at all times, preventing the fourth civilization from freeing up its hands.
The battle on the planet Lota was also a mess.
The planet Lota resisted resolutely at first. The fourth civilization sent a squadron directly into the outer space of the planet and surrounded the planet. Although the large battleships of the Fourth Civilization did not have the ability to fight within the atmosphere, a large number of Phantom fighters and Banshee fighters taking off from the Sova-class aircraft carrier still bombed the main cities on the planet Lota.
This was their last chance to save face. They did not carry out orbital bombing, but they still issued an ultimatum. They must surrender within 24 hours of Galaxy Standard Time, otherwise, every 3 hours, a city will be destroyed, from small to large. .
Even after the ultimatum was issued, the Ghost fighter planes and Banshee fighter planes were still wreaking havoc over the main cities of the Lota planet. After launching their missiles, they continued to swoop down to bombard them with pulse lasers and cluster rockets.
The air force of Planet Lota was wiped out within 2 hours of the war. They were unable to fight against the completely invisible Ghost fighters and Banshee fighters. But the Lota planet government still delayed its surrender until the last hour of the ultimatum.
But after the planet government surrendered, it told the fourth civilization that they had lost control of the planet. There might be rebels on the planet, and they hoped that the fourth civilization would send troops to destroy them.
However, when the Fourth Civilization Army began to land, it was discovered that the Lota planet had already dispersed its army to the jungles and suburbs of the planet, breaking it into pieces, and planned to fight a long-term guerrilla war with them. And the reason why they surrendered was actually because they were afraid of orbital bombing by the Fourth Civilization if they disagreed.
After learning the news, Qi Jian, the chief of staff of the Fourth Civilization, immediately went to Tang Xiao's governor's office, hoping to obtain permission for orbital bombing to conduct orbital bombing of the jungle area of the Lota planet. Tang Xiao sat at his desk and thought for a moment, then asked: "How many Ewoks are there in our army now?"
Qi Jian was stunned, but still He immediately replied: "Most of the Ewoks serve in the engineering troops and jungle troops. There are currently about 40,000 Ewoks in active service in our army. Do you mean..."
"That's right. The Lota people seem to want to fight guerrilla warfare with us to delay time, right? It doesn't matter, I will just play with them. Not only do I want to occupy the Lota planet, I also want their factories to run for me and their people to work for me. Work, cultivate their farmland for me! I want their women to give birth to me, and become the slaves of the fourth civilization for generations!" Tang Xiao showed a ferocious smile, raised his hand and clenched his fist, " Do you want to turn your planet into a piece of scorched earth and let us get a bad reputation?”
Qi Jian stood up and saluted, saying loudly: “Yes! Governor. Reorganize the Ewok soldiers and form a suppression force with the current two Ewok mountain brigades as the core. Go to the planet Lota and crush their resistance."
"Take away those who want to resist one by one! All the family members of the resisting soldiers were pulled out of the jungle and taken to the mine to mine, regardless of age or gender." Tang Xiao dropped this sentence coldly and waved his hand to signal Qi Jian to leave.
......
The Banshee fighter jet roared down and swooped down, activating its cloaking device in mid-air and disappearing without a trace, but some uncoordinated ripples could still be seen in the air.
Then, only dozens of cluster rockets were seen pouring down, and they exploded densely in front, clearing a large open space. Immediately afterwards, dozens of APOD-33 transport aircraft fell from the sky, landed on the ground, and the hatches opened.
Huang Yehao held on to the handle next to the hatch and jumped down before the spacecraft stopped. Behind him, dozens of Fourth Civilization Army soldiers filed out. Finally, a folded giant mecha was sent out by the conveyor belt. The driver started the engine. The giant mecha stood up from the ground, spread its arms, and prepared the Hellfire long-range surface-to-air missile launcher on its shoulders.
"Hold the position and establish a landing site. Our mission this time is not to go into the woods, we are to cooperate with the Ewoks in fighting! Cheer up!" Huang Yehao shouted to his teammates Said.
I only saw a few more transport planes flying down. These transport planes passed over the jungle at very low altitude. One after another, short Ewok soldiers wearing jungle camouflage jumped directly from the transport planes. He disappeared into the jungle and disappeared.
Soon, bursts of gunfire came from the originally silent jungle. Very dispersed and very finely divided.
Cummings, a Semels man, crawled next to Huang Yehao. A soldier next to him began to help him organize the six-barreled machine gun installed on his back. He also looked at the jungle and said: "This is the first time I have seen the Ewoks fighting. What?"
"What did you see?" Huang Yehao asked back.
“No, I can’t see anything except trees.”
