Chapter 1396. Dexon Meat Grinder (3)
1396. Dexon Meat Grinder (2)
Boom! boom! ! Explosions continued to ring out across the battlefield, both on the city's shields and within the outlying Republic Army landing zones.
The warring parties have completely opened up their firepower, without any hiding.
However, this city-level shield in the City of Steel caused great trouble to the Republic's army. This city-level shield was extremely strong, and the extreme situation of such a siege was fully taken into consideration when it was designed and manufactured. Condition. The shield generators in the city have extremely large shield capacitors, which are enough to allow the shields to neutralize most incoming firepower.
And because this city was built on the basis of the previous forward base of the Mandalorian Crusaders, you must know that the Ultimate Mandalorian wanted to invade the Galactic Republic, but it took more than ten years to prepare. This forward base on the Dexon moon was originally prepared for millions of Mandalorian Crusaders, so after more than ten years of construction and operation, it is large-scale and very strong.
Because of this, Wilhuff Tarkin's previous plan to order the flagship to bomb other parts of the satellite in an attempt to destroy the City of Steel through indirect damage such as volcanoes and earthquakes completely failed.
In fact, if Wilhuff Tarkin had concentrated all the battleships for targeted bombing, he would have had a chance to destroy the shield, but his deep self-preservation mentality made him choose Such a method that did not have to face the orbital defense system failed.
Now, with his battleship being stabbed and his orbital bombing capability almost lost, the city shield that he has not been able to solve has become the biggest obstacle in front of the Galactic Republic. obstacles.
Faced with this one-way shield installed by Tyran Heavy Industry at all costs, the Republic army did not have many options.
You know, it is because the Dexon satellite is located in the inner ring of the Milky Way and is an important base for the production of Behemoth-class battlecruisers. Otherwise, they would not have the chance to install this one-way shield.
After all, even a thousand-meter-class battleship is not qualified to install a one-way shield - because with the current production process and technological level, this shield system alone is more expensive than a battleship .
The only option for the Republic Army is to continue bombing and then find a way to let the Army enter.
……
Da da da! Ta-ta-ta! Boo hoo hoo~~~Boom! ! In this bullet-filled battlefield, almost no place is safe. Almost every inch of the air was filled with bullets and blaster beams flying back and forth, leaving no place to hide.
The disembarked Republic soldiers hid behind bunkers made up of portable fence shields, frightened by the firepower whizzing across the sky and not daring to come forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of dull explosions sounded, and thick smoke mixed with light special metal powder began to spread, cutting off everything in front.
"The smoke bombs have been deployed!! Listen to me, Company 107! Did you see the building clearly in front of you just now? Rush over and hide behind the building, you will succeed! There is only 600 meters away. ! Hurry! !" an officer shouted, pointing to a building outside the City of Steel.
"Company 107, follow me!" The company commander also took the risk, roared and rushed over with the soldiers of the company.
They had just come out of the bunker when a dense burst of artillery fire hit them from the opposite side! In an instant, more than ten people were brought to the ground.
The other soldiers were frightened. Some turned around and tried to return to the bunker, but the officer shot them all dead on the spot. The remaining soldiers shouted wildly and charged forward, but were killed by artillery fire like wheat.
"Company 108! Go!!" the officer continued to yell, "Charge into the shield range! Seize the bunker! Everyone will be given an apartment on Coruscant! 109th Company is ready!!"
Another company of soldiers rushed forward! On the opposite side, a large number of combat robots were already waiting. When they saw the Republic soldiers appearing, they immediately started shooting wildly again!
A company of nearly 200 soldiers was wiped out after advancing less than 300 meters.
But more soldiers still followed. A LAAT/C assault transport boat landed quickly with an AT-TE walker hoisted on it. It was destroyed by anti-aircraft fire before it even landed. The AT-TE landed with a bang, and then its six mechanical legs began to move forward at maximum power, gradually increasing in speed.
The artillery fire in the city became more and more fierce, and naturally a target as big as the AT-TE would not be missed. Missiles and rockets followed, exploding on the walker.
"The walkers are coming! The 112th Company is following!!" the officer shouted, "Signals Corps!! Where are our armored units??"
"It's such a mess! I don't know at all Where is it! It said there was a formation of Saber tanks landing in our direction, but I didn't see a hair!" the signal soldier also yelled.
Bang! ! ! A burning wreckage fell from the sky and landed more than ten meters away from them. It was the wreckage of a TX-130 Saber tank. It looked like it was shot down on a transport plane.
"Now you see where they are! Keep calling me for reinforcements! I want tanks! I want walkers!!" the officer yelled.
Boom! boom! boom! There was another violent explosion, and the AT-TE walker was hit by several anti-tank missiles. The armor was penetrated and disintegrated in the flames of the explosion.
But the Republic soldiers hiding behind the walker rushed out from behind the wreckage of the walker and rushed forward against the crazy firepower from the opposite side.
There was another massacre like harvesting wheat. Hundreds of soldiers were killed by crazy artillery fire. But finally dozens of people rushed into the shield range. They entered the light curtain and were finally able to fire on the combat robots on the opposite side.
He rolled and crawled to hide behind the building, and then threw a few more smoke bombs with his backhand. Some soldiers carrying more equipment also turned on drones and remote-controlled bombs to bomb the combat robot positions.
The sound of gunfire continued, and the corpses of Republic soldiers covered almost every place in the large area from the landing field to the shield. But the attack continues!
"Company 129! Enter!! Company 129!!" The officer's voice was hoarse, but he was still yelling into the communicator.
"The spaceship of the 129th Company was shot down! No one survived!" said the communications soldier.
"Company 130! Attack!! Someone has already entered the shield range! Keep moving forward!" the officer yelled.
"No! Going like this is a complete way to die!!" When the company commander saw the continuous massacre in front, he was so frightened that his legs became weak and he couldn't stand still.
Bang! ! A soldier behind the officer shot the company commander in the head.
"You are the company commander now! Come on!!" the officer pointed at the deputy company commander and said.
Going forward is death, and retreating is also death. But the difference is that if you die while advancing, you will be treated as a combat death, and your family may still receive a pension.
“Kill!!!!” The soldiers roared like they were venting their anger, picked up their guns, lined up in a skirmish line, and rushed forward quickly.
