Chapter 926: Battle of the Western Region: Overlord Plan (2)
925. Battle of the Western Region: Overlord Plan (2)
21BBY, April 4th.
Beolars Bribbs, the actual controller of the planet Sullest and the CEO of SoroSuub Corporation, secretly went to the planet Glenson and met with Tang Xiao, the governor of the Dawn planet. During the meeting, the two sides finalized the final details of the battle.
On April 5, the Fourth Civilization dispatched dozens of small outpost fleets. These small outpost fleets are composed of small and medium-sized warships such as Revenge-class light destroyers and Javelin-class guided missile frigates. These fleets attacked everywhere and began to massively destroy the outposts set up by the Galactic Republic between the planets of Glenzon and Eriadu. and hyperspace blockers.
On April 6, the planet Nothoiin surrendered, and the portal of the hyperspace channel "Nothoiin Corridor" between the planet Glenzon and the planet Eriadu was opened.
On April 10, the Fourth Civilization Fleet destroyed the outer outposts, and 20 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers arrived at the planet Dolla.
But the planet Dora refused to surrender. This fairly developed planet was even equipped with a planetary shield, ready to fight to the end.
20 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, protected by 40 Javelin-class guided missile frigates and 10 Guard-class anti-aircraft destroyers, began orbital bombardment of the planetary shield of Dora.
At the same time, other outpost fleets of the Fourth Civilization also entered the Dora galaxy and began to clean up hyperspace blockers and air minefields.
That night at Galactic Standard Time, a fast fleet consisting of 10 Aquitens-class light cruisers and 5 Karak-class light cruisers departed from the planet Eriadu and entered the Dora system in an attempt to drive away the outpost of the Fourth Civilization. Fleet, the two sides exchanged fire.
The Aquitens-class light cruiser in the Republic fleet relied on its powerful firepower to quickly destroy several Javelin-class guided missile frigates. But soon, the Revenge-class light destroyers and Apocalypse-class light cruisers in the Fourth Civilization Fleet joined the battle, and a melee broke out between the two sides.
At the same time, the Javelin-class guided missile frigate began to distance itself, hiding behind an asteroid, and bombarded it with powerful long-range missiles. Two Karak-class light cruisers were hit by missiles and suffered heavy damage. The Republic fleet could only take off all the limited number of fighter jets it carried to drive away the Javelin-class guided missile frigates.
There was another melee between the fleets of both sides. The combination of the Revenge class and the Apocalypse class on the Fourth Civilization side was no match for the advanced Aquitens class light cruiser. After the Javelin class guided missile frigate was entangled by a fighter jet , they can only ask the main fleet for help.
The main fleet that besieged the planet Dora detached three Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers to help. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Republic fleet harassed them again and then turned and retreated.
The fleets of both sides were chasing each other, winning or losing, and battles of varying intensity took place at dozens of outposts set up by the Republic in the Nosoin Corridor.
These outposts are small in scale. In addition to hyperspace channel monitoring facilities, they are also equipped with concussion missiles and turbolaser cannons. Some even have air mines placed around them to make the attack more difficult.
……
At the same time, another front, April 8th.
Admiral Matt Horner of the Fourth Civilization led Fleet A with 30 Cole-class battlecruisers and 5 Martha-class heavy cruisers to the planet Mustafar and requested this The volcanic planet controlled by the Technological Alliance and already a member of the Confederation of Independent Systems provides energy for the fleet. On April 9, Walter Tambor, the chief foreman of the Technology Alliance, agreed to this request after a video call with Tang Xiao. The planet Mustafa, which has huge geothermal energy, will provide energy supply for Fleet A, and the robot factory on the planet will also provide robots for this battle on the planet Eriadu.
Then Fleet A continued to advance and drove straight in. The planets Artavis, Sumavar, and Rogge-Antar even waited for the fleet to arrive before they eagerly announced their separation from the Galactic Republic and joined the Confederation of Independent Systems.
The progress on Fleet A's side is beyond imagination. In less than 5 days, a large star field starting from the planet Terminus to the south of the planet Eriadu has been completely invested in the independent star system. In the arms of the Confederacy.
For this, Tang Xiao also sent a special message to express his gratitude to Count Dooku, because this was all Count Dooku's diplomatic gesture.
With the addition of about 10 planets in this star area, Fleet A has a greater strategic space. Matt Horner began to lead the fleet to clean up the outposts and hyperspace blockers set up by the surrounding Galactic Republic. However, due to the development of the planet Terminus, Matt Horner was destined to be unable to undertake the main attack mission in this direction.
On April 13, Fleet A dispatched 10 Cole-class battlecruisers into the Eriadu system, and fired 10 50-meter-caliber super-matter electromagnetic cannons at the planet Eriadu at a distance of 20 light minutes. Turn around and leave.
On April 14, 10 projectiles fired by the super-matter electromagnetic gun were intercepted by the orbital defense system as they approached the planet Eriadu. They did not cause any damage, but these 10 projectiles also became the fourth The first firepower fired by civilization towards the planet Eriadu.
To this end, the Propaganda Department of the Fourth Civilization even held a grand celebration ceremony for these 10 cannonballs, with superstar Alia Isabella singing on stage. During this holiday commemoration event, the propaganda machine of the Fourth Civilization trumpeted the reactionary nature and perverse actions of the Galactic Republic, constantly emphasized the justice and legality of the current war, and once again pushed the people's enthusiasm for war to a peak.
......
At the same time, on the front of Planet Salest, on April 11th, the battle escalated directly!
Because this is not the first time that the planet Salust has launched an offensive against the planet Agma under the rule of Sothrob Company. Both the planet Salust and the Galactic Republic are familiar with each other's offensive and defensive battles.
Sothrob Company is a quite powerful industrial giant. When it was in the Galactic Republic, it even participated in the manufacture of Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers. However, they were involved in the old model of the Dreadnought class. Otherwise, there would be no need to find Lundili for the maintenance of the Blade fleet at that time.
They were repairing the 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that General Ling brought over last time. Except for 2 of them that needed to continue to be repaired in the dock due to serious damage, the other 33 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers were repaired. The cruisers all set off, cooperating with other battleships and fighter jets produced by the planet Salest, to launch an attack on the planet Agma.
The commander of the planet Salest is Miim Te'Suub, a senior representative of Sothrob Company. After receiving the help of so many Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, he is very high-spirited. Can't wait to launch an offensive on the planet Agma.
The 18th Army of the Republic immediately dispatched a fleet to assist, and a large number of fighter jets originally stationed on the planet Agma also immediately took off for combat.
The fleets of both sides opened up their firepower almost as soon as they came up and fought head-on. With the firepower of 33 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, the Republic only had 6 Jaeger-class battlecruisers and 5 Aquitens-class light cruisers, and could only retreat to Defense in extraterrestrial orbit.
Six Jaeger-class carrier-based aircraft, plus more than 3,000 fighter jets taking off from the planet Agma, became the protagonists of the battle.
