Chapter 1064. The Day of Decisive Battle (V)
1063. The Day of Decisive Battle (V)
After the first wave of extremely violent bombing by the Fourth Civilization Fleet, they had no intention of stopping. Continue with the second round of bombing.
At this time, the originally panicked local defenders of the planet had recovered, and they immediately began to organize a counterattack.
Several large orbital defense cannons set up on the planet also began to fire back, trying to drive away the Fourth Civilization warships that were constantly bombing.
At the same time, those fighter formations that had already been moved to the underground hangar and were not damaged in the first wave of bombings also took off and flew straight towards the fourth civilization's fighter jets. The two sides launched a fierce air battle in the air.
On the ground, countless anti-aircraft firepower was opened. Laser cannons, machine guns, blaster cannons, and missiles were fired into the sky, almost setting the sky on fire.
Dense anti-air firepower and anti-ground firepower were intertwined, and countless gunshots and explosions were mixed together, becoming a completely indistinguishable and deafening roar!
There were exploding flames and falling aircraft everywhere, and when the large warship entered the atmosphere, the large fire clouds formed due to friction made the night sky of Eriadu appear fiery red!
The anti-aircraft firepower in the planet's capital, Elixiang City, is even more amazing!
This city has been completely built into an indestructible fortress by Wilhuff Tarkin!
Almost every building has been reinforced, almost every high point is equipped with anti-aircraft turrets, and almost every inch of the sky is covered by anti-aircraft fire.
The resistance in this place was so tenacious that even the Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth Civilization Fleet, Admiral Severance Tann, had to modify his plan to avoid the airspace of Elixiang City and build up the surrounding airspace. Log in.
In the first minute of the landing battle on the planet Eriadu, both sides played all their cards! No room left at all!
And it can be said that the behavior of the Fourth Civilization Fleet at this moment is simply orbital bombing. No matter how they explain that they have reduced the bombardment power and avoided densely populated areas and agricultural areas, they cannot be cleared up. .
The current behavior of the Fourth Civilization Fleet is trampling on the moral bottom line that everyone once subconsciously abided by.
But Severance Tann no longer cares about this. She has only one goal - to capture the planet Eriadu! As for the rest, she didn't want to care!
In fact, including the Galactic Republic itself, both sides of the war have already begun orbital bombing on some battlefields. Both parties are now a little impatient. Apart from taking a little bit of face into account for publicity, they have basically lost all dignity.
As early as half a year ago, the Galactic Republic army had launched an orbital bombing on the planet Atraken. However, this planet was relatively remote, and the Republic's information blockade was very good, so it did not cause much concern. A storm of public opinion.
And now, in order to capture the planet Eriadu before the hyperspace storm subsides and the steady stream of reinforcements from the Galactic Republic arrive, Severance Tann is doing everything possible!
Following a completely unreasonable bombing, five Kesov-class battlecruisers first entered the low-Earth orbit of the planet Eriadu. After entering the predetermined position, 10 landings from both sides of the Kesov-class battlecruiser A large number of assault landing ships were launched from the bay!
Ever since the discovery of this function of the Kesov-class battlecruiser and the physical strength of the Inchori people who do not require much equipment to carry out orbital airdrop, orbital airborne has become the strategy of the fourth civilization. A great weapon for the planet.
No need to build a landing site, no fire suppression, no need to choose an ideal landing location.
Orbital airborne has only one goal - drop wherever it is fatal!
Thousands of triangular-shaped assault landing ships fell from the sky, hitting the ground like cannonballs, smashing every target they hit.
One of the assault landing ships rushed down from high altitude with flames generated by high-speed movement like a meteor, and hit a building hundreds of meters high like a cannonball, directly smashing through the middle of the building!
Boom! ! With a loud noise, the assault landing ship hit the ground, leaving a large crater more than ten meters in diameter! Immediately after the hatch opened, the Incholi warriors who were completely intact rushed out howling. They did not have any combat plan or combat objectives. They just charged wherever they saw fire!
They activated their flapping backpacks one after another, rose into the air, and rushed towards the defenders' strongholds.
Suddenly there were countless gunshots and screams.
8,000 Inchori warriors launched orbital airdrops in 5 places. These 5 areas are all key areas on the planet Eriadu - including industrial areas, barracks areas, and areas close to the capital. and communications center.
These Inchoris, who are extremely powerful in combat, do not need any combat goals. They only need one purpose - to cause as much killing and chaos as possible, and then the next wave of landing troops will have better conditions for landing.
And at this time, a separate bay of one of the Kesov-class battlecruisers also slowly opened, and an orbital landing module that was obviously much larger than other assault landing ships was sent out for launch. The trajectory, fire control and navigation computers calculated instantly and determined the landing point in the city of Elixiang, which has the strongest anti-aircraft firepower and the landing fleet has not dared to get too close until now!
As the orbital landing module began to accelerate on the guide rail, this special guide rail actually used electromagnetic acceleration! This is not like launching a landing module at all, it is completely launching an electromagnetic gun!
With a flash of lightning, the landing module rushed into the atmosphere of the planet Eriadu like lightning. After being captured by the planet's gravity, the gravitational acceleration continued to increase.
The speed of the landing module quickly reached hypersonic speed, and the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground was launched carelessly, but the interception efficiency was not high. This landing module occupies a separate bay of the Kesov-class battlecruiser. It is very heavily armored and even equipped with a deflector shield!
Finally, the riddled landing module successfully landed and crashed into several buildings.
The ground defense forces immediately surrounded the landing module, and even two TX-130 Saber hover tanks rushed to the scene immediately.
Suddenly, several connections of the landing cabin suddenly exploded, only an animalistic roar was heard, and a huge black shadow jumped out!
This is a 3-meter-tall humanoid creature with indescribably developed muscles. It is also wearing ferocious armor made of extremely heavy alloy.
He is an educator! Darth Malthael used Sith alchemy and the Drell virus to create the Sith Alchemy Beast from Cassar Fogg, a teacher on the planet Kosher! This taboo, which was sealed in the deepest part of the temple by the Jedi Order and was absolutely not allowed to be touched by anyone, was developed by Darth Malthael and was once again thrown into the war with the Galactic Republic!
After 4,000 years, the Sith Alchemy Beast appears again!
If in the last battle on the planet Terminus, the Indoctrinators were just trying their best, then this time, the Indoctrinators were directly thrown into the most heavily defended Eria on the entire planet Eriadu. In Lixiang City, it’s time for it to go on a killing spree!
"Roar!!!!" The Indoctrinator let out a terrifying roar, then jumped up high and landed directly on a TX-130 Sabre tank, killing this The tank hit the ground directly from the suspended state.
Then it raised its hands and hammered hard, boom! ! !
With just one punch, this TX-130 Saber tank was flattened! Even if this kind of tank is not known for its armor and protective capabilities, it is completely unimaginable to be destroyed by one punch.
The surrounding Republic soldiers immediately opened fire, but the attack of the blaster rifle was completely ignored by the Indoctrinator. It was agile, powerful and invulnerable. It ran rampant in the hail of bullets. Another TX-130 Saber hover tank Also destroyed.
The Enlightenment swept across with a punch, and more than a dozen soldiers were immediately knocked away by its punch! Then it howled and broke through the siege, then rushed straight into the depths of the city.
......
At the same time, with the successful landing of the orbital airborne troops, the main force of the Fourth Civilization Army finally launched under the command of Army Major General Ling Liang, who was commanding in low-Earth orbit. A comprehensive landing operation!
The C-9979 transport ship and the Diamond-class multi-purpose transport cruiser arrived on the planet accompanied by a burning cloud of fire. There were a large number of vulture robot fighters and ghost fighters guarding the battleships. The air force on the planet Eriadu was not yet Before forming a climate, it flies towards the ground.
Governor Wilhuff Tarkin's combat strategy is to break his air force and armor into parts and deploy them in underground bunkers in order to avoid the first wave of orbital bombardment from the Fourth Civilization Fleet. .
This strategy was successful. He did save many armored units and fighter formations, but the disadvantage was that when the Fourth Civilization launched a full-scale attack, it would take some time for these forces to regroup.
In contrast, the fleet of the fourth civilization can directly exert its most powerful power immediately.
First, the fastest APOD-33 transport plane landed on the ground under air cover. The hatch was opened, and the soldiers of the Fourth Civilization Army in combat uniforms rushed out quickly, opened fire and entered the predetermined position, and began The Republic defenders were cleared bit by bit and a relatively safe landing site was established.
This transport aircraft derived from the technology of "StarCraft" is one of the earliest spacecraft models that the Fourth Civilization can build, and has been in stable service for more than ten years. Now the Fourth Civilization Engineering Department and Tyran Heavy Industries are planning to replace it with a follow-up model, a medical transport aircraft.
But before that, the APOD-33 transport aircraft still played an important role in every battle.
The C-9979 transport ship also quickly flew down, the hatch opened, and MTT personnel carriers loaded with B-1 combat robots drove out, dropping off a large number of robot troops to join the battle.
The battery-class transport ship landed in a relatively safe and rear position. What drove out from it were siege tanks, Wolf Warrior mechas, giant mechas, and M-650 Mastodon armored personnel carriers. Heavy armored units, as well as a large number of Warthog armored off-road vehicles, M-9 Wolverine half-track anti-aircraft vehicles, Vulture combat vehicles and other light armored units.
Engineering SCVs also appeared on the landing site. They immediately began to build bunkers, temporary bunkers, and air defense towers to provide more support for the landing troops.
With a piercing mechanical roar, the siege tank entered the predetermined position and unfolded its bracket. The two 90mm heavy cannons merged to become a powerful 180mm caliber plasma howitzer. Then there was a deafening sound and a powerful plasma grenade. Launched towards the Republic's position dozens of kilometers away.
The battle plan of the Fourth Civilization Army Landing Force is unfolding in an orderly manner. They are launching a landing around the administrative center of the planet Eriadu, Erixiang City.
But for a planet the size of Eriadu, directly besieging the capital is actually very radical and risky. After all, the planet's capital must have very strong defenses, guarded by the most elite troops, and once the capital is attacked, reinforcements from other areas will gradually arrive, which will form a counter-siege situation.
However, the Fourth Civilization did not have time to slowly attack other areas of the planet. They first let the Inchori airborne from orbit to attack several important locations around Elixiang City, and then immediately launched Login.
The goal is to strive to capture the city of Elixiang within one month. Once Elixiang City is captured, the resistance in other areas of the planet will weaken a lot, and in the next few months, the entire planet can be further occupied.
This goal seems impossible, but the current situation of the planet Eriadu is no longer a secret. Ling Liang has also formulated a very careful plan for this planet where famine and riots have broken out.
The core of it is the very chaotic order on the planet Eriadu.
In order to resist the invasion of the fourth civilization, Governor Tarkin has basically turned this planet into a military-controlled planet, sacrificing other civilians' rights to survive to ensure the combat effectiveness of his army during the siege.
There are even rumors that some of his troops are cannibals!
After the landing troops of the Fourth Civilization gained a foothold, they immediately launched a propaganda offensive. It began to airdrop food and weapons in some cities, and broadcast slogans, calling on everyone to stand up and resist Tarkin's rule.
They claimed that there were mountains of food in the barracks of the Republic's army. As long as these barracks were captured, the food inside would belong to everyone!
Civilians can’t defeat the regular army? It doesn't matter, our fourth civilization's army is here! There is a righteous robot army! As long as you join it, it is possible to defeat the Republic!
Tanks and cannons on the ground, fighter jets in the sky, and battleship groups in low-Earth orbit, these are all manifestations of the power of the fourth civilization! Defeat the Republic, occupy the city, and grab food!
Such propaganda is actually very effective. After the planet Eriadu experienced riots and famine during this period, the civilians' recognition of the Galactic Republic and Governor Tarkin has dropped to the lowest level. They long for the Galactic Republic. Die, Tarkin, die!
Riots began to appear again in many cities on the planet, and even some armies formally surrendered! Many of these armies were originally recruited soldiers who joined the army just to have a good meal. Now they have no reason to work for the Galactic Republic!
The power of the Fourth Civilization on the planet Eriadu has further increased.
Thank you for the 500 starting coins from my big friend! !
