Chapter 1092 Cruel Battle
1091. Brutal Battle
The brutal battle immediately began. In order to regain these planets, the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic also ordered the deployment of natural troops to attack these planets. Land on board and cooperate with the clone army to fight.
For example, in the battle on the planet Charra, the Galactic Republic invested more than 2 million conscripted natural soldiers, and at the same time asked the government of the surrendered planet Charra to send their own local troops to cooperate. In combat, the total strength exceeded 10 million.
But it turns out that these natural soldiers with lax military discipline, insufficient training, and backward equipment are simply impossible to fight against the robot army!
Facing the robots that were pressing forward in a neat formation, firing and strafing as they advanced, the natural soldiers almost collapsed at the first touch. The defeated soldiers instead exposed the clone army's flanks, forcing them to retreat with them.
In the end, it was the Republic fleet that took off a large number of fighter jets and carried out indiscriminate bombing of the robot army's control area, and then stabilized the battle line.
The war situation on the planet Charia was unfavorable, and it seemed to have gotten off to a bad start. During this counterattack, the Galactic Republic, which had insufficient ground forces, almost ran into obstacles in every direction.
The Federation of Independent Systems has been transporting robot legions to these planets for a long time, and they are all entrenched in urban areas and sewer systems. This makes it difficult for the Republic's fighter formations to destroy all these robots even with bombings.
And in the hidden places of these planets, the robot legions are even equipped with many J-1 heavy proton cannons, posing a very serious threat to the Cheer-class assault landing ships that want to break into the atmosphere for landing operations. .
At the same time, the fleet of the Galactic Republic did not dare to launch an attack rashly. They were also worried that once the fleet penetrated deep into the area controlled by the Confederation of Independent Systems, its supply lines would be cut off and they would be killed alive.
Just like Master Yoda's failure in the Model Sector.
However, the Galactic Republic has never been able to come up with a solution - the solution is actually very simple, deploy additional clone armies, train natural human armies, and the third one has been placed in the Supreme Strategic Command Desk approach.
The first method is no longer possible. With the destruction of the clone factory on the planet Kamino, the output of the clone army has dropped sharply. Even if the third generation factory is still there, it will take some time. To resume production, and even if it is fully restored, the output will be less than half of the previous one.
The second method is naturally impossible since the Galactic Republic has neither money nor time.
So only the third method is left - orbital bombing.
The motion agreeing that frontline commanders can use firepower exceeding the rated power to carry out orbital bombing when the situation is critical has been passed. According to this proposal, even if the bombing will cause irreversible damage to the planet's atmosphere, the victory of the battle must be guaranteed, so orbital bombing can be used.
But similarly, there is another sentence behind the motion: frontline commanders must obtain the consent of the accompanying Jedi Knights before they can carry out orbital bombing.
Currently, no Jedi has given orders for the orbital bombardment, so the Galactic Republic's counterattack plan was hampered almost from the beginning.
The Jedi cannot give this order, because this order will directly and indirectly kill a large number of civilians. This is a challenge to the Jedi creed they have accepted since childhood.
But if this order is not issued, on the one hand they can only sit back and watch the separatist forces continue to act arbitrarily; on the other hand, they can only face large numbers of natural soldiers taking to the battlefield and then being slaughtered by the robot army...
< br>Although we don’t know how long it will be before the first Jedi Knight issues this order, what we do know is that the time has begun to count down...
...
And at this time , the planet Eriadu.
The cruelty of the battle that broke out on this planet has far exceeded that of any battle that has broken out on any planet since the outbreak of the war. The 18th Army Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, in order to resist the landing of the Fourth Civilization, armed a large number of civilians and formed a huge army of more than 100 million people!
Moreover, he still has more than 1 million local regular troops and 20,000 clone soldiers.
This is a very terrifying force!
The total strength of the fourth civilization landing is 1.3 million, including 1 million robots. There are also 10,000 Inchoris and 20,000 Kali. These are super soldiers whose combat power far exceeds that of ordinary people.
In addition, the fourth civilization also has complete air control!
Ghost fighter jets and Banshee fighter jets constantly fly over the planet, looking for every ground target and then clearing it at targeted locations.
Swarms of Vulture robot fighters guard the Coyote robot bombers, raging on the planet like locusts. As long as they find something moving among their sensors, even a small animal will dive directly. Go down, and then use intensive firepower to plow that area into flat ground!
For the defenders of the planet Eriadu, every battle is a hell. Being able to come back alive from the battlefield has become the greatest hope in each of their hearts.
……
Huh~~~~~~ A suspended train passed by at high speed among the mountains. The train was full of people wearing gray military uniforms and holding backward EE-3 blaster rifles. local army.
Many of those soldiers still had childish looks on their faces, and they looked out the window in fear.
Although the suspended train passed by this snowy place with an altitude of more than 7,000 meters, the sky was clear with blue sky and white clouds, and the beautiful scenery outside the window was refreshing, but these soldiers only had fear in their hearts.
Because they know that when the beautiful scenery outside the window disappears, it is when they step into hell.
An officer's figure appeared on the holographic screen in front of the carriage. He said loudly: "Fighters of the Republic's glory! Remember! We are soldiers from Valto City in the southern hemisphere! Our goal is to reinforce the planet The capital city of Elixiang! Don't lose the face of our southern boys! As long as we can break through the separatist blockade, everyone can get at least a whole ham and enough food for a month! Boys! Show your strength!"
Although this officer thought he had given an exciting speech, there were still very few people who responded, and there was not much emotion on the faces of the soldiers. .
I am definitely going to go, and I am definitely going to fight, but for that bullshit glory? No! For that month’s rations, for the hungry parents, wives and children at home!
The scenery outside the window dimmed instantly. The train with its shield turned on and traveling at a speed of more than 2,000 kilometers per hour had passed through the huge mountain range. Turning around, I saw that the beautiful scenery outside the window before was now filled with gray! Immediately afterwards, the train passed over a completely destroyed city!
Everything in this city is gray.
This is the color of the dust covered by repeated orbital bombardments. It also represents...the color of death!
Despair appeared on almost every soldier's face. Even if there was a trace of fantasy before, it was now shattered by the cruel reality!
At this moment, a shrill siren suddenly sounded in the train!
"We are attacked by separatist fighter jets! Everyone, prepare for battle!!" the officer shouted.
From among the several armed carriages of the train, dozens of close-range laser cannons were raised and pointed at the sky, but the sky was empty and there was nothing.
The next second, dozens of rockets appeared out of thin air and exploded directly on the train's shield! !
