Chapter 1401. Turning Point
1401. Turning Point
Boom! boom! boom! Explosions exploded on the SPHA-T self-propelled turbolaser cannon!
In front of this super giant land unit with a length of 140.2 meters, the M-808B Scorpion tank is only 10.2 meters in length. The proportions of the two are like an ordinary person standing in front of a building.
However, it was the giant SPHA-T who was unable to fight back.
In the face of the flexible Scorpion tank, although the SPHA-T is equipped with 10 anti-infantry scatter laser cannons, this weapon cannot pose a threat to the armor of the Scorpion tank at all.
On the contrary, the 90mm caliber high-speed smoothbore cannon equipped on the Scorpion tank can easily penetrate the opponent's armor because it uses the super-matter acceleration technology now widely used by the Fourth Civilization.
After hitting more than ten artillery shells in a row, even the huge vehicle more than 140 meters long was finally overwhelmed and paralyzed in a burst of violent explosions.
After receiving the news of the raid, the frustrated Wilhuff Tarkin had to use more fighter jets for patrol and defense on the battlefield, which also reduced the air defense pressure over the City of Steel.
It’s not that he has never thought about letting his Cheer-class assault landing ship directly penetrate into the atmosphere of the Dexon satellite to support the operation, but his reason still prevented him from doing so.
Because according to various intelligence sources, the separatist army on the planet Onderon has at least two J-1 proton cannons.
The J-1 proton cannon produced by the Technology Alliance, like the SPHA-T self-propelled turbolaser of the Galactic Republic, is a weapon with great power and low production. And in recent months, the Technology Alliance has always refused to provide J-1 proton cannons to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, citing insufficient raw materials and lack of funds.
This means that this powerful weapon that can directly shoot down the Cheer-class assault landing ship has finally not appeared in large numbers on the frontline battlefields of the Confederation of Independent Systems.
But the current situation is that since there are at least two J-1 proton cannons on the planet Onderon, and when the planet Onderon was previously occupied, these two cannons were not found on the planet. , then the most likely result is that these two proton cannons are now on the Dexon satellite!
And according to the information provided by Saw Gerrera, the Separatists probably installed these two proton cannons on the terrifying Thor mecha.
So if this is the case, the Thor Mecha will have the ability to threaten the Cheer-class assault landing ship!
With this invisible threat, naturally the Cheer-class assault landing ship cannot be sent into the atmosphere of the Dexon satellite casually.
You must know that the construction cost of the Cheer class is more than 100 million. If you do not count super battleship-level battleships such as the Commander II class, the Cheer class is still the most expensive in the Republic Navy series. battleship.
The even worse news is that even though the battle was so brutal, the two J-1 proton cannons of the separatists still did not appear.
At this moment, Wilhuff Tarkin, who was standing on the bridge of the flagship, was extremely angry. With a bang, he smashed the portable terminal in his hand into the face of the staff officer who was reporting the war situation to him. The innocent staff officer suffered a bloody head.
……
Bang! There was a muffled sound and a door was kicked open.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of Onderon planet soldiers with fierce faces rushed into a basement, but there was no one in the basement. The commander rummaged through the remaining traces in the basement and said in the communication: "General, based on intelligence, we raided the basement of Building M in the market area. There are traces of Stella's rebel activities here, but they have already evacuated."
A gloomy voice came from the communication, "His Majesty the King's direct order, give me a city-wide search for the traitor Stella Gerrera and her accomplices! They betrayed the Galactic Republic , they even betrayed our planet Onderon! His Majesty the King demands that they be caught within one day and then sent to the guillotine!”
"Yes!" the commander responded quickly, and then he said fiercely to the other soldiers behind him: "You also heard it! Expand the search area for me immediately! Even if we turn the city upside down, we must find Stella - Guerrela!"
After that, he turned around and walked out. Outside the door, more soldiers were gathering. Following the commander's order, everyone immediately divided into groups and began a large-scale search.
They broke into houses, smashed, smashed and looted everywhere on the pretext of searching for rebels. Things like robbing QJs happened everywhere with them.
Most of the people who can identify with and join So-Gerrera's team are gangsters and terrorists. When these people put on military uniforms and pick up blaster rifles, they transform into fully armed gangsters and terrorists. molecular.
For a time, with the search of a large number of troops, the entire city of Izzy, which was already in chaos, was now plunged into chaos!
The residents of Izzy City not only have to face the oppression and fear brought by the Galactic Republic Army, but also face the white terror of Saw Gerrera. To describe it as deep water and hot water is already appropriate.
At this moment, Stella Gerrera led one of the most elite teams and quietly sneaked towards the Temple of Unity in the center of the city.
Because Stella Guerrera and her comrades have always been committed to helping and saving civilians, they can also get a lot of help and intelligence.
Under the ubiquitous eyes of the residents of Izzy City, they avoided the patrols of the Galactic Republic Army and the searches of the Onderon Army, and successfully arrived at the Temple of Unity 2 or 3 kilometers away. place.
"Be careful! There is a group of Republic patrols ahead!" Stella whispered.
Everyone hurriedly hid. After a while, there was a flash of glass reflection in a building ahead. Stella looked at the flash and said: "Let's go! Now! Hurry!"
Others He quickly followed her footsteps and soon arrived at the building. The door opened quietly and they hid inside.
A middle-aged woman in her 40s came over. She came over and hugged Stella gently, and said: "Have you finally made up your mind? Stella! Only you can save us now. Planet! Ah... It's His Majesty the King!"
As she said this, she saw Ramses Dundup behind her and quickly saluted, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here, Your Majesty Dundup."< br>
Dundup smiled slightly and said: "It seems that Stella's status in the hearts of the people is very high. In this way, I can go there with peace of mind."
"Your Majesty, are you going to..." the middle-aged woman asked.
Dundup said with a smile: "Someone has to stand up and use political means to fight against the occupation of the Republic's army. Now we can't let Stella stand on the front desk and bear the open and covert attacks of the Republic, so let's I’m an old man, let’s clear the road ahead.”
