789. The Remaining Warmth of the Battle (Part 1)

[Building a country does not rely on dreams, it ultimately relies on iron and blood.

——Excerpted from "The Hundred Years' War - Chronicle of the War of the Fourth Reich"]

……

The Battle of Terminus ended with a tragic defeat for the Galactic Republic and a tragic victory for the Dawn Planet.

The Galactic Republic fleet had to abandon all ground forces and retreat. They only had about 30 battleships left, and almost every battleship was severely damaged.

Of course, before they retreated, the ground troops on the planet had actually been dispersed long ago, losing all possibility of retreat.

The power of orbital airborne tactics is that orbital airborne troops can smash the entire front to pieces, and then force the enemy to fight in every area at the same time. The disadvantage is naturally that almost every airborne soldier will fight in an almost desperate situation.

Such an army also exists in "Halo". They are all ordinary people, but they have a steel-like fighting will and a spirit that is not afraid of sacrifice. No matter when and where the war breaks out, they will always be the first to jump into hell.

That's right, after Tang Xiao saw Matt Horner's battle plan, he immediately thought of such an iron army - the Hell Paratroopers ODST!

Such an army is not created, but formed over a long period of time under the influence of discipline, honor, and faith. And such soldiers do exist in the hands of the Fourth Civilization - the Fourth Legion.

Thus, this orbital airborne force that turned the tide of the war in one fell swoop was established.

They also brought victory to the battle for Terminus!

Tang Xiao believes that given time, the fourth civilization will also have their own hell paratroopers!

The Battle of Terminus finally ended. In this battle, the Galactic Republic invested 92 large battleships and 244 small and medium-sized battleships. Most of them were destroyed, leaving only 11 large battleships and 23 medium-sized battleships. Small warships were able to return, and the navy lost more than 600,000 officers and soldiers.

There were also 11,000 fighter jets of various types, with more than 9,400 lost and 8,900 pilots killed.

In terms of ground troops, 19,000 clone soldiers were killed and more than 600 were captured. More than 88,000 local garrison troops were killed and 120,000 were captured.

The Fourth Civilization invested 110 large battleships and 80 small and medium-sized battleships. The surviving large battleships and 33 small and medium-sized battleships resulted in the death of more than 27,000 naval officers and soldiers and the loss of more than 700,000 robot crew members. Taiwan, the vast majority of which were B-1 combat robots, but more than 200 expensive T-series tactical robots were also lost.

And the fourth civilization invested a total of 18,000 Vulture robot fighters, of which only more than 1,000 were saved, while more than 1,900 of the other 3,000 Ghost fighters were lost, and more than 80 of the 400 Viking fighters were lost. Excluding the 1,100 pilots who participated in the rebirth program and were resurrected in new cloned bodies, there were actually 800 fighter pilots killed.

On the ground battlefield, the Fourth Civilization Army lost more than 31,000 soldiers and more than 60,000 robots of various types. As for the most elite Fourth Army Corps, more than 4,400 people were killed in the battle, and the actual number of casualties was - 0.

All members of this army who were absolutely loyal to Tang Xiao joined the rebirth plan. Almost none of the soldiers of the Fourth Legion are married. They have nothing to worry about. The only thing they have to do is to be loyal to Tang Xiao and kill all enemies who stand in the way of the Fourth Civilization and Tang Xiao on the battlefield. But even so, such a heavy loss is something that the Fourth Civilization cannot bear.

After the battle, the first words Tang Xiao said at the Confederation of Independent Systems meeting held on the sub-planet of Laxus was, "After this battle, the Dawn Planet has The strategic offensive capabilities have been completely lost.”

His words are not an exaggeration.

During the Battle of Terminus, the war reserves accumulated by the Fourth Civilization for ten years were exhausted.

Before the war began, the Fourth Civilization had a total of 150 large warships. In the following time, about 50 ships were put into service, and nearly 40 ships were lost in previous battles. But this time, more than 80 large warships were directly lost, equivalent to half of all warships.

So in addition to the C fleet defending the Endor system, the garrison fleet on the Terminus planet, and the main fleet of the Republic's 18th Army on the planet Glenson, located on the planet Eriadu, The Fourth Civilization indeed does not have any more mobile fleets to take the initiative to launch attacks.

For them, the greatest significance is to occupy the transportation hub Terminus planet, thus surrounding the 18th Army of the Republic on three sides, which will play a decisive role in the future strategic development.

And in order to prevent the Republic from launching a counterattack on the planet Terminus, the Fourth Civilization also began to make many arrangements.

The secret organization promoted by Tang Xiao, the Freemasonry Alliance, began to take effect. The Semires people immediately accepted many orders, and even shirked the warship manufacturing plan of the Federation of Independent Systems and began to build the Agonev-class star on the planet Semires. The parts structure of the base.

On the surface, the Jiwen people have not yet separated from the Galactic Republic, and have declared neutrality during the war. They made a fuss in the Galactic Parliament and resolutely prevented the 20th Army of the Republic from going south to reinforce the 18th Army of the Republic. At the same time, they also began to build a new type of main battleship based on the needs of the fourth civilization.

Although it has not yet expressed its intention to join the Masonic Alliance, the Trade Alliance, which has begun to align with the strategy of the Fourth Civilization, has sent a large number of engineering spacecraft and massive B-1s to the planet Terminus. Battle robots.

The most powerful one is the Interstellar Banking Association. In addition to giving the Fourth Civilization a large number of low-interest war loans, Thorn-Hill also cooperated with Tyran Heavy Industries to set up an industrial base on the planet Onderon. Continuously producing Behemoth-class battlecruisers, this fleet has secretly headed to the planet Christophsis and begun to open a hyperspace channel to establish contact with the planet Terminus.

At the same time, given that the battle launched by General Grievous on the planet Bosavi was also coming to an end, General Grievous did not continue the madness of the festival offensive, but was defeated in this battle. The Galactic Republic stood in its way.

The battle for Planet Bosavi is on the verge of failure.

In order to continue to hold back the Galactic Republic, prevent them from adding more troops to the 18th Army, and buy the defenders of Terminus enough time to build a defense line, Tang Xiao immediately ordered Severan Si-Tan's fleet continued to expand its results in the core circle of the Republic, attracting the attention of the Republic.

At the same time, another chess piece he had arranged before also started to act more blatantly under his instruction!

......

For the Galactic Republic and the 18th Army, losing the Battle of Terminus was both a good thing and a bad thing.

The bad thing is naturally that after losing this transportation artery, it will be difficult to restrict the strategic offensive of the fourth civilization... The good thing is that they have actually restricted it.
