Chapter 765: The tug-of-war at Terminus (Part 1)
764. The tug-of-war at Terminus (Part 1)
After establishing the landing position, the Army of the Fourth Civilization began a large-scale Interspersed action.
More than a dozen combat groups set out on M-650 Mastodon armored personnel carriers. Under the cover of siege tanks, Vulture tanks and M-9 Wolverine anti-aircraft tanks, they began to attack, targeting already Discovered spaceport and fighter landing platform.
In the universe, three Rookery Hook-class battleships have entered the near-geosynchronous orbit of the planet Terminus and began to send all the soldiers and equipment in their huge cabins to the planet battlefield.
In the sky, the C-9979 transport plane was still rising and falling. After the 10,000-person Fourth Civilization Army and equipment landed, it began to transport the robot army down.
The Galactic Republic will naturally not sit still and wait for death. The air force on the planet Terminus is attacking everywhere. They are constantly switching targets. They are either conducting air strikes on the Fourth Civilization Army or intercepting the C-9979 transport ships transporting supplies in the air. . In addition to the Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets secretly deployed by the Republic, some bounty hunters and mercenaries have also been hired by the Republic to join the battle.
After a slight repair, the Republic fleet also began its second attack.
This time their goal is more clear, which is the three Rookery Hook-class battleships!
The attack and defense were even more fierce. The Republic fleet desperately tried to break through the defense, and Matt Horner also commanded his warships to defend tightly. Some warships even used their bodies as shields to block Rookery Hook. class battleships.
Warships are also arriving from the rear of the Fourth Civilization, but most of them are small warships that are more convenient for passing through hyperspace channels. And according to Matt Horner's instructions, the reinforcements coming are all guard-class light anti-aircraft destroyers.
A total of 10 guard-class ships arrived, which greatly eased the pressure on the Fourth Civilization Fleet facing the Republic's fighter sea.
Coupled with the fact that the fighters of Darth Malthael and the two Dark Apprentices fired unparalleled directly on the battlefield, the Republic's fighter group suffered serious losses.
On this battlefield, there are currently no Jedi warriors in the Galactic Republic participating in the war. Darth Malthael and the others are simply a dimensionality reduction strike! The only thing that can restrain them from causing more killings is the ammunition stock of elite Viking fighters.
This second space station battle lasted for more than ten hours. Both sides also suffered losses, but relatively speaking, the Republic Fleet suffered greater losses.
The offensive and defensive battle continued until the 10 Martha-class heavy cruisers of the Fourth Civilization finally passed through the hyperspace channel and joined the battle.
The Republic fleet suffered heavy losses and could only retreat to one of the moons of Terminus to defend and accept supplies from the planet.
After Matt Horner obtained the cutting-edge battleships, he immediately launched a counterattack, but after discovering that the Republic fleet's fighting will was still tenacious, he also retreated to continue covering the ground troops for landing operations.
Because the reinforcements are coming from the Martha-class heavy cruiser. Although this kind of warship has super powerful firepower, it also relies heavily on logistical supplies. If it is not used sparingly, it may be able to throw away all the missiles in one battle. go out.
At the same time, supplies from the rear of the Fourth Civilization began to arrive continuously, and several Xingzi-class maintenance drone carriers also arrived on the battlefield to provide repairs for damaged warships.
Both sides suffered losses in the battle in space. The Fourth Civilization Fleet also did not pursue it fiercely due to supply difficulties, in case it completely lost the cover of the space battlefield after running out of ammunition and food, so the game between the two sides began to focus on the ground battle. Eight hours after the war began, five Cheer-class assault landing ships of the 18th Army of the Galactic Republic arrived on the battlefield and launched a landing from another direction on the planet.
At this time, the Army of the Fourth Civilization has begun to advance. The robot legion is the main frontal force, the Giant Mecha is the field air defense force, and the Wolf Warrior Mecha is the frontal assault force, and is in the siege. Under the cover of the powerful long-range firepower of the tanks, they began to move towards the city of Fermos, the capital of the planet Terminus.
The rapid assault force formed by the Fourth Civilization Army, consisting of M-650 Mastodon armored personnel carriers, M-9 Wolverine anti-aircraft tanks, Vulture tanks and a small number of engineering tanks, also attacked everywhere. Destroyed 17 hidden spaceports or supply bases.
Fourteen hours after the war started, 150 kilometers south of Fermos City, 20 LAAT/I assault transport boats of the Galactic Republic launched an attack on the Fourth Civilization Army position under the cover of Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets. air strikes.
The Fourth Civilization's army, dominated by the robot legion, repelled the Republic's fighter jets with the help of giant mechas, and the armies of both sides officially exchanged fire.
At this time, in the field command center of Major General Xiao Guanghua, commander-in-chief of the army in the Battle of Terminus Planet of the Fourth Civilization, two elite Viking fighter jets landed. An angry man came in.
Lifting the hood, this is a female Bothan and a middle-aged Nikto, they are two dark disciples of Darth Malthael, former Jedi Master, Green Betty and Aiden Ward.
"The Lord has sent us here to assist you in your battle, General Xiao." Green Betty said calmly.
“Let’s talk about the current situation and see what we can do.” Aiden Ward added on the side.
Xiao Guanghua frowned, not liking the aura emanating from these two people, but still replied: "At present, our army is advancing smoothly. 20,000 soldiers and 40,000 robots have landed, and more soldiers and weapons and equipment have landed. They are also being transported. It is expected that they will all be able to land tonight."
As he spoke, he came to the holographic map and pointed to a hill in front of him and said: "This is a hill in the south of Fermos City. Stretching for hundreds of kilometers, there are 9 highlands above 1,000 meters. It is difficult to get around with our army's current mobility, so we are preparing to force a breakthrough. However, we have just been bombed by Republic fighter jets, which shows that their army troops are also coming. The situation. There are variables.”
“As for our fast assault force, it is making a detour to the north of Fermos City. The detour operation should last for about one day, but now the Republic’s air force has been significantly strengthened. The intensity of the air strike, coupled with the fact that one of their Cheer-class assault landing ships has broken into the atmosphere, the situation is not optimistic."
Green-Betty nodded and said, "In that case, we will fly fighter jets to assist. Detour the troops and try to cut off the support of the Republic Army. At present, we do not feel that there are Jedi participating in this battle. This is our opportunity on the space battlefield."
"I. Got it. Then everything will be done according to the battle plan." Xiao Guanghua gave a military salute to the two of them.
The two dark believers nodded, walked out and got on their elite Viking fighter, started the engine and quickly disappeared from the sky.
