After the first wave of extremely fierce bombing by the Fourth Civilization Fleet, they had no intention of stopping and continued with the second round of bombing.
By this time, the originally panicked local defenders of the planet had recovered, and they immediately began to organize a counterattack.
Several large orbital defense cannons installed on the planet also began to fire back, trying to drive away the Fourth Civilization warships that were constantly bombarding them.
At the same time, those fighter formations that had already been moved to the underground hangar and were not damaged in the first wave of bombings also took off and flew straight towards the fourth civilization's fighter jets. The two sides launched a fierce air battle in the air.
On the ground, countless anti-aircraft firepower was opened. Laser cannons, machine guns, blaster cannons, and missiles were fired into the sky, almost setting the entire sky on fire.
Dense anti-air firepower and anti-ground firepower were intertwined, and countless gunshots and explosions were mixed together, becoming a completely indistinguishable and deafening roar!
There were exploding flames and falling aircraft everywhere, and when the large warship entered the atmosphere, the large fire clouds formed due to friction made the night sky of Eriadu appear fiery red!
The anti-aircraft firepower in the planet's capital, Elixiang City, is even more amazing!
This city has been completely built into an indestructible fortress by Wilhuff Tarkin!
Almost every building has been reinforced, almost every high point is equipped with anti-aircraft turrets, and almost every inch of the sky is covered by anti-aircraft fire.
The resistance here was so tenacious that even the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Civilization Fleet, Admiral Severance Tann, had to modify his plan to avoid the airspace of Elixiang City and conduct landings in the surrounding areas.
In the first minute of the landing battle on the planet Eriadu, both sides played all their cards! No room was left at all!
Moreover, it can be said that the behavior of the Fourth Civilization Fleet at this moment is simply an orbital bombing. No matter how they explain that they have reduced the bombardment power and avoided densely populated areas and agricultural areas, they cannot be cleared up.
The current behavior of the Fourth Civilization Fleet is trampling on the moral bottom line that everyone once subconsciously abided by.
But Severance Tann no longer cares about this. She has only one goal - to capture the planet Eriadu! As for the rest, she doesn't want to care about it!
In fact, including the Galactic Republic itself, both sides of the war have already begun to carry out orbital bombing on some battlefields. Both sides are now a little impatient. In addition to taking into account a little face for publicity, they have basically lost their dignity.
As early as half a year ago, the Galactic Republic army had launched an orbital bombing on the planet Atraken. However, the planet was relatively remote and the Republic's information blockade was very effective, so it did not cause much public opinion.
And now, in order to capture the planet Eriadu before the hyperspace storm subsides and the steady stream of reinforcements from the Galactic Republic arrive, Severance Tann is doing everything she can!
Following a completely unreasonable bombing, five Kesov-class battlecruisers first entered the low-Earth orbit of the planet Eriadu. After entering the predetermined position, 10 landings were made on both sides of the Kesov-class battlecruiser.
A large number of assault landing ships were launched from the bay!
Ever since the discovery of this function of the Kesov-class battlecruiser and the physical strength of the Inchori people who did not require much equipment to carry out orbital airborne landings, orbital airborne landings have become a powerful weapon for the Fourth Civilization to conquer planets.
There is no need to build a landing site, no fire suppression, and no need to choose an ideal landing location.
Orbital airborne has only one goal - drop wherever it is fatal!
Thousands of triangular-shaped assault landing ships descended from the sky and smashed into the ground like cannonballs, smashing every target they hit to pieces.
One of the assault landing ships rushed down from high altitude with flames generated by high-speed movement like a meteor, and hit a building hundreds of meters high like a cannonball, directly smashing through the middle of the building!
Boom! There was a loud noise, and the assault landing ship hit the ground, leaving a large crater with a diameter of more than ten meters! Then the hatch opened, and the Incholi soldiers, who were completely intact, rushed out howling, and they did not
Regardless of any combat plan or combat objective, just charge wherever you see the firing!
They activated their flapping backpacks one after another, rose into the air, and rushed toward the defenders' strongholds.
Suddenly there were countless gunshots and screams.
8,000 Inchori warriors launched orbital airdrops in 5 places. These 5 areas are key areas on the planet Eriadu - including industrial areas, barracks areas, areas near the capital, and communication centers.
These Inchori, who are extremely powerful in combat, do not need any combat goals. They only need one purpose - to cause as much killing and chaos as possible, so that the next wave of landing troops will have better conditions for landing.
And at this time, a separate bay of one of the Kesov-class battlecruisers also slowly opened, and an orbital landing bay that was significantly larger than other assault landing ships was sent out of the launch track. Fire control and navigation
The computer completed the calculation instantly and determined the landing point in Elixiang City, which has the strongest anti-aircraft firepower and the landing fleet has not dared to get too close until now!
As the orbital landing module begins to accelerate on the guide rail, this special guide rail actually uses electromagnetic acceleration! This is not like launching a landing module at all, it is completely launching an electromagnetic gun!
With a flash of lightning, the landing module rushed into the atmosphere of the planet Eriadu like lightning. After being captured by the planet's gravity, the gravitational acceleration continued to increase.
The speed of the landing module quickly reached hypersonic speed, and the ground anti-aircraft firepower was launched haphazardly, but the interception efficiency was not high. This landing module occupied a separate bay of the Kesov-class battlecruiser and was very armored.
It’s thick and even equipped with a deflector shield!
Finally, the riddled landing module successfully landed and crashed into several buildings.
Ground defense forces immediately surrounded the landing module, and even two TX-130 Saber hover tanks rushed to the scene immediately.
Suddenly, several connections of the landing module suddenly exploded, only an animalistic roar was heard, and a huge black shadow jumped out!
This is a 3-meter-tall humanoid creature with indescribably developed muscles. It is also wearing ferocious armor made of extremely thick alloy.
It's the Instructor! Darth Malthael mixed Sith Alchemy with the Drell virus from Cassar Fogg, the teacher on the planet Kosher, to create the Sith Alchemy Beast!
This taboo, which was sealed in the deepest part of the temple by the Jedi Order and was absolutely not allowed to be touched by anyone, was developed by Darth Malthael and was once again thrown into the war with the Galactic Republic!
After 4,000 years, the Sith Alchemy Beast appears again!
If the last time in the battle for the planet Terminus, the cultivators were just trying their luck in a small way, then this time, the cultivators were directly thrown into the city of Elixiang, which is the most heavily defended city on the entire planet Eriadu.
Time for a killing spree!
"Roar!!!!!" The Indoctrinator let out a terrifying roar, then jumped up high and landed directly on a TX-130 Saber tank, smashing the tank from its suspended state to the ground.
Then it raised its hands and hammered hard, boom!!!
With just one punch, this TX-130 Saber tank was directly flattened! Even if this kind of tank is not known for its armor and protective capabilities, it is completely unimaginable to be destroyed by one punch.
The surrounding Republic soldiers immediately opened fire, but the blaster rifle attack was completely ignored by the Indoctrinator. It was agile, powerful, and invulnerable. It ran rampant in the hail of bullets, and another TX-130 Saber hover tank was also destroyed.
The Enlightenment swept across with a punch, and more than a dozen soldiers were immediately knocked away by its punch! Then it howled and broke through the encirclement, and then rushed straight into the depths of the city.
…
At the same time, with the successful landing of the orbital airborne troops, Army Major General Ling Liang, who was commanding in low-Earth orbit, gave an order, and the main force of the Fourth Civilization Army finally launched a full-scale landing operation!
The c-9979 transport ship and the Diamond-class multi-functional transport cruiser arrived on the planet accompanied by a burning cloud of fire. There were a large number of vulture robot fighters and ghost fighters surrounding the battleships. The air force on the planet Eriadu was not yet
Before forming a climate, it flies towards the ground.
Governor Wilhuff Tarkin's combat strategy is to break his air force and armor into parts and deploy them in underground bunkers in order to escape the first wave of orbital bombardment from the Fourth Civilization Fleet.
This strategy was successful. He did save many armored units and fighter formations, but the disadvantage was that when the Fourth Civilization launched a full-scale attack, it would take some time for these troops to regroup.
In contrast, the fleet of the fourth civilization can directly exert its most powerful power immediately.
First, the fastest Apod-33 transport plane landed on the ground under air cover. The hatch was opened. Army soldiers of the Fourth Civilization in combat uniforms rushed out quickly. They entered the predetermined position while firing and began to clean up the Republic bit by bit.
The defenders established a relatively safe landing site.
This transport aircraft derived from the technology of "StarCraft" is one of the earliest spacecraft models that the Fourth Civilization can build, and has been in stable service for more than ten years. Now the Fourth Civilization Engineering Department and Tyron Heavy Industry are planning to use subsequent models.
Medical transport aircraft instead.
But before that, the Apod-33 transport aircraft still played an important role in every battle.
The C-9979 transport ship also quickly flew down, the hatch opened, and T personnel carriers loaded with B-1 combat robots drove out, dropping off a large number of robot troops to join the battle.
The battery-class transport ship landed in a relatively safe and rear location. What drove out were siege tanks, Wolf Warrior mechas, giant mechas, 650 Mastodon armored personnel carriers, and other heavy armored units, as well as a large number of warthogs.
No. 9 armored off-road vehicle, 9 Wolverine half-track anti-aircraft fighting vehicle, Vulture fighting vehicle and other light armored units.
Engineering SCVs also appeared on the landing site, and they immediately began to build bunkers, temporary bunkers, and air defense towers to provide more support for the landing troops.
With harsh mechanical roars, the siege tank entered the predetermined position and unfolded its bracket. The two 90-mm heavy guns merged to become a powerful 180-caliber plasma howitzer. Then there was a deafening sound and a powerful plasma grenade.
Launched towards the Republic's position dozens of kilometers away.
The battle plan of the Fourth Civilization Army's landing force is unfolding in an orderly manner. They are launching a landing around the administrative center of the planet Eriadu, Erixiang City.
But for a planet of the size of Eriadu, directly besieging the capital is actually very radical and risky. After all, the capital of the planet must have very strong defenses, guarded by the most elite troops, and once the capital is attacked, other
Reinforcements from the area will also arrive one after another, which will form a counter-encirclement situation.
However, the Fourth Civilization did not have time to slowly attack other areas of the planet. They first let the Inchori airborne from orbit to attack several important locations around Elixiang City, and then immediately launched a landing.
The purpose is to strive to capture Elixiang City within one month. Once Elixiang City is captured, the resistance in other areas of the planet will weaken a lot, and then in the next few months, further occupation can be achieved
The whole planet.
This goal seems impossible, but the current situation of the planet Eriadu is no longer a secret. Ling Liang has also formulated a very careful plan for this planet where famine and riots have broken out.
The core of this is the very chaotic order on the planet Eriadu.
In order to resist the invasion of the Fourth Civilization, Governor Tarkin has basically turned this planet into a military-controlled planet, sacrificing the survival rights of other civilians to ensure the combat effectiveness of his army during the siege.
There were even rumors that some of his troops were cannibals!
After the landing troops of the Fourth Civilization gained a foothold, they immediately launched a propaganda offensive. They began to airdrop food and weapons into some cities, and broadcast slogans calling on everyone to stand up and resist Tarkin's rule.
They claimed that there were mountains of food in the barracks of the Republic Army. As long as these barracks were captured, the food inside would belong to everyone!
Civilians can't defeat the regular army? It doesn't matter, there is the army of our fourth civilization! There is the righteous robot army! As long as you join them, there is a possibility of defeating the Republic!
Tanks and cannons on the ground, fighter jets in the sky, and battleship groups in low-Earth orbit, these are all manifestations of the power of the fourth civilization! Defeat the Republic, occupy the city, and grab food!
This kind of propaganda is actually very effective. After the planet Eriadu experienced riots and famine during this period, the civilians' recognition of the Galactic Republic and Governor Tarkin has dropped to the lowest level. They wish that the Galactic Republic would die and Tarkin would die.
die!
Riots began to appear again in many cities on the planet, and even some armies were formally surrendered! Many of these armies were originally recruited soldiers, and they joined the army just to have a full meal. Now they have no reason to work for the Galactic Republic.
!
The power of the Fourth Civilization on the planet Eriadu has further increased.
