After hearing the report, Admiral Theost turned on the interrupt and looked at the hyperspace fluctuation data. He was quite disapproving. He smiled coldly and said: "Haha, reinforcements? It seems that the separatists have looted them from nowhere. A pitiful small fleet is coming. Judging from the scale of this hyperspace fluctuation, there should be about 10 warships. "
"Do we need to respond?" asked another staff officer next to him.
"What's the reaction? Is it possible that we still have to go to greet them? Ha!" Admiral Theost said humorously, "No need, separatism is over, completely over. They searched for the fleet for who knows how long, and our next batch of reinforcements has already exceeded it. Three days later, 15 Jaeger-class ships came, and the warehouses and hangars were filled with fighter jets, enough to bring them. 12,000 planes are coming! Be careful to coordinate when the time comes, because in order to carry more fighter jets, these Jaeger-class take-off platforms are full.”
"This is the strength of the Republic and our honor, General!" The staff officer stood at attention and saluted, flattering a little, "When reinforcements arrive, I will immediately arrange these fighter jets properly."
Admiral Theost came to the holographic star map and said loudly with his hands behind his back: "Continue to attack! Don't stop! Don't give the separatists any chance to breathe!"
"Yes!" the staff officer responded .
The Galactic Republic fleet continues to press forward, and the fleet attacking the Agonev-class interstellar bases at the north and south poles of the planet Eriadu also deliberately adjusts its direction along with the revolution of the planet, always maintaining its ability to attack At the same time as the interstellar base, it also cut off the connection between the Separatist fleet and the interstellar base.
The main fleets of both sides continued to fight fiercely near the Eriadu satellite.
In fact, in this case, the Fourth Civilization Fleet has a slight advantage over the main fleet of the Republic, but what is really unstoppable is the huge number of fighter jets on the Republic's Jaeger-class battlecruisers!
In terms of the exchange of fire between the main battleships of both sides, the Fourth Civilization has more than 130 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, as well as Cole-class battlecruisers, Masha-class heavy missile cruisers, and 10 Dunov-class battleships. Line cruiser. Even the Sova-class aircraft carrier is equipped with powerful main guns.
When the two sides first started fighting, the Republic Fleet suffered a big loss and was severely damaged by the powerful frontal firepower of the Fourth Civilization Fleet.
Later, Theost made timely adjustments, using the fighter cluster as the core of the attack, constantly disrupting the formation and deployment of the Fourth Civilization Fleet, and this turned the battle situation around.
Among the fleets of the Fourth Civilization, the Dreadnought-class, Martha-class, and Cole-class are all very typical artillery battleships. Although they also have anti-aircraft firepower, they are far from strong.
Therefore, their fleet has incorporated a large number of guard-class light anti-aircraft destroyers, and there are also two types of light frigates, the Spear-class and the Manghan-class, which are used to specifically hunt the opponent's fighter jets.
In addition, the Viking fighters that have now begun mass production have already surpassed the V-19 Torrent fighter and the ARC-170 heavy fighter in terms of performance. Finally, they have not been torn apart by the 20,000 fighter jets of the Republic Fleet. fragments.
But the war situation is still very pessimistic until now, because the Republic’s reinforcements continue, but the Fourth Civilization cannot compete with the Republic in productivity.
Now the surrounding planets are also starting to operate at full capacity. After the planet Salust and Sothrob Company were occupied by the planet Eriadu, they immediately started their factories at full capacity to provide services for Eriadu. A large amount of military supplies are provided for the defense of Planet Du. At the same time, the factories on the Eriadu satellite are also operating rapidly. Now, because this small satellite still has a planetary shield, it has become the key to maintaining the war situation in the entire galaxy.
The factories on the planet Eriadu are still operating, but the efficiency is much lower. On the one hand, it had just been occupied, and the people on the planet had experienced months of famine, with billions of people killed and injured. They didn't have much thought at work; on the other hand, the Republic fleet also showed no mercy to Eria. Planet Du launched a bombing campaign.
Although the approach of the Galactic Republic fleet was similar to that of the Fourth Civilization Fleet at that time, they tried to fire at the rated safe power, but the continuous attacks, coupled with the indiscriminate bombardment of thousands of fighter jets, The explosion also made the already devastated planet even worse.
The problem of famine has been temporarily alleviated on the planet Eriadu, but the main reason for the relief is not the increase in food supply, nor the arrival of more support, but...
< br>People who can starve to death will almost starve to death.
The planet Eriadu had a population of 23 billion at its peak. Now, the population on the planet is less than 7 billion! The population has dropped by more than two-thirds!
At this moment, on the Eriadu satellite, a large number of orbital defense systems are constantly firing. At the same time, countless fourth civilization ghost fighters, vulture robot fighters, coyote robot bombers, and Viking fighters are also in various hangars and on the planet. Land at the spaceport, receive maintenance, rotate pilots, and then continue taking off for combat.
The Sowa-class aircraft carrier is located at the back of the fleet formation. Because of the existence of the Eriadu satellite, they do not need to take on the work of taking off and maintaining fighter jets. Therefore, they are dedicated here to coordinate and command fighter operations. It also serves as a temporary transfer so that seriously damaged fighter jets can be dealt with as soon as possible.
The same is true for the three Rookery Hook-class battleships, which assume the same responsibilities as the Sova-class aircraft carrier. The giant ships converted from these three cargo ships also have another role, which is to provide supplies to the fleet.
Because it is a home defense operation, the Masha-class heavy missile cruisers, Javelin-class missile frigates and Viking fighter jets, which have very huge logistical requirements, are now using their missiles as if they are free. go out.
That’s right, it’s splashing rather than launching!
The Fourth Civilization Fleet also tried its best to hold the line. They would launch thousands or even tens of thousands of missiles in a single salvo!
"General! The separatist fleet has begun to adjust its formation!" the staff officer came to Admiral Theost and reported.
“Is it to cooperate with the reinforcements?” Admiral Theost touched his beard and said, “The opponent’s Dunov-class battlecruiser should be about to start charging again, right? ?"
"Yes, General. According to calculations, the Separatist Dunov-class battlecruiser will be recharged in 5 minutes. At that time, the overall shield strength of the Separatist fleet will be increased again. "The staff officer said.
"Hmph! The separatists know how to do these things and make their fleet look like a turtle shell." Theost slammed the table.
