787, Orbital Airborne (Part 2)
Lickers hiding in the darkness have become the biggest trouble for the Republic's army. These silent hunters can appear from almost anywhere and then suddenly jump out to attack.
Although the talons of the Lickers cannot penetrate the battle armor of Republic clone troopers, they can knock the soldiers to the ground and then attack the weak areas at the seams of the armor.
Moreover, there are not only clone soldiers currently stationed in Fermoth City, but also a large number of local garrison troops from the planet Terminus!
If the clone troopers were able to form a small team to resist on the spot when faced with orbital airdrops and lickers in the dark, these local garrison troops were completely a side effect.
They were panicked when faced with an orbital airborne landing, and had no idea what to do. It was common to see a group of hundreds of soldiers not even resisting after a raiding spacecraft crashed down, and they dispersed as soon as they shouted.
At this moment, less than an hour after the orbital airborne operation began, the Army of the Fourth Civilization had already controlled more than one-third of the city, and the control area was still increasing rapidly.
The Republic troops couldn't even find a retreat route!
This is the power of orbital airborne!
If the 6,000 Fourth Army elites and more than 2,000 Inchori Avenger 101s who were deployed on the battlefield were placed on the frontal battlefield, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve such progress.
Because the clone army had already deployed in-depth defense on the western outskirts of Fermoth City in the direction of the Fourth Civilization Army's advance. In addition to using robots to dig some trenches, they also used a large number of sandbags to surround the buildings to form a large number of firepower points.
By the way, when the number of portable laser fences is insufficient, the Republic army will still use a large number of sandbags as bunkers. Among all readily available materials, sand is still the best buffer and cooling material to deal with blaster rifle fire.
It also has good results.
And not only did the clone army of the Galactic Republic bring a large number of AT-TE walkers and AV-7 self-propelled artillery, but even the local garrison of Terminus planet was also equipped with a large number of artillery and mortars - produced by Santa Claus.
That's right, the name Yuri Orlov, Santa Claus, can be said to be as popular as a donkey in the black market of the galaxy. This is not because of the scale of his arms business, but because of another characteristic.
While other arms dealers are still mainly smuggling blaster rifles, grenades or small spacecraft, Yuri Orlov has a soft spot for heavy firepower weapons.
Howitzers, mortars, rocket launchers and even rocket launchers!
Although these are very ancient gunpowder weapons, they do not affect their power.
Anyway, when a 155mm grenade falls, it doesn't care whether you are a German SS or a clone of the Communist Party of China. All living beings are equal.
Such contraband is naturally strictly controlled by the Galactic Republic, but now that the war has broken out, no one can care about it.
Yuri Orlov's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he even opened his own black factories in some places, specializing in the production of various cannon grenades.
The planet Terminus is one of Yuri Orlov's large customers.
Under such a defense, if the Fourth Civilization Army wants to advance forward, it will inevitably face this crazy long-range firepower. Even if they break through the western suburbs defense line, the Republic soldiers have already built countless firepower points and defense lines in the city.
This kind of defense line is highly recognized even by famous generals like Wilhuff Tarkin. He believes that it will take at least a year for these separatist troops to capture the city of Fermoth.
The premise is that they have so many soldiers' lives to fill this meat grinder-like battlefield.
Coupled with the anxiety on the space battlefield, now on the planet Terminus, it is basically a lone army from the Dawn Planet to confront the 18th Army of the Galactic Republic, which is constantly receiving support. The strength of both sides is clear at a glance.
The mainstream media of the Galactic Republic are already exaggerating the victory of the Battle of Terminus. They spare no effort in publicity and rack their brains to come up with various eye-catching headlines.
[Shocked! Governor Tarkin is lying on the hospital bed, and the merit comes from heaven!]
[The 19th Army’s great revenge was avenged, with just one word from this person!]
[A famous expert angrily stated a hundred reasons, concluding in one sentence that Dawn Planet will not survive next week!]
[Tracing back to the road to victory, Speaker Palpatine actually started preparing 10 years ago!]
[Calling down Governor Tarkin’s biggest mistake, he overestimated the planet Dawn!]
[Who made the widow of Suramar, the governor of the 19th Army, cry bitterly? Shaqima said she would not marry anyone other than Tarkin!]
[A professor named Yang from a medical laboratory said that Tang Xiao, the governor of the Dawn Planet, suffers from war addiction. If he is captured alive, he can be given a 20% discount for electrotherapy.]
In such a warm atmosphere, all the people of the Galactic Republic who care about the war are waiting for when this inevitable victory will come.
Correspondingly, the Federation of Independent Systems is extremely pessimistic about this. Count Dooku has even given instructions, telling Tang Xiao, who has just visited the Lasax subplanet, that if necessary, Dawn Planet can shrink its front, even if
It is also acceptable to give up the planet Havin, the former headquarters of the 19th Army.
He also vowed that once General Grievous's war on the planet Bosavi ends, he will personally lead the fleet to besiege the 18th Army and help the Dawn Planet get out of trouble.
Everyone in the entire galaxy knows that Dawn Planet cannot be delayed, and everyone also knows that Dawn Planet cannot be defeated quickly.
So the result is very clear - Planet Dawn will definitely fail.
But now, with the full support of Tang Xiao, Matt Horner told everyone about two life-and-death gambles in space and on the ground...
In this battle, our fourth civilization...
Undoubted victory!!
Countless assault ships fell from the sky like rain of fire, the hatches opened, and the angry Fourth Legion soldiers and the bloodthirsty Inchori Avengers charged directly at the Republic army that was caught off guard!
The AV-7 self-propelled artillery position was destroyed, the quadruple blaster cannon anti-aircraft position was burning, and the wreckage of the AT-TE walker was billowing smoke.
Under the orbital airborne tactics, there was no longer any point of view on the entire battlefield, and the closely protected artillery positions and anti-aircraft firepower points were destroyed one by one.
The trenches lost their function, the carefully set up crossfire was useless, and the strategic reserves became frontline troops in an instant!
Almost every place is burning, almost every place is fighting. There is no longer any battle line in the entire battlefield, there are only fighting and hand-to-hand combat!
On the front, the Army of the Fourth Civilization also launched a general offensive across the board!
The Republic's army no longer has organization, but they do!
The Republic forces no longer have long-range fire support, but they do!
They would not give the Republic army time to deal with the orbital airborne troops, but launched an attack while they were at their most chaotic and weakest!
If the most powerful thing about the clone soldiers of the Republic is their physical fitness and tactical literacy, they can remain calm even when facing ten times the number of robot armies.
But now, the tactical quality of the soldiers of the Fourth Army is no less than theirs, and the physical quality of the Incholi people is even more direct!
After being airborne through orbit, the clone troopers had to face the Injori Avengers at close range, who were so huge that they were not even afraid of blaster rifle fire.
They wouldn't stand a chance...
