Chapter 1045 The Second Battle of the Model Sector (1)
1045, The Second Battle of the Model Sector (1)
Time: 21BBY, June 27.
Location: Outer Ring of the Galaxy, Western Territory, Model Region, Zuma Sector, Kuna Star Cluster, and the outer orbit of the Fang of Kuna planet.
20 Jaeger-class battlecruisers are moving in orbit outside the planet. They perform their respective duties and begin to clean up the Gaussian automatic defense platform set up on the periphery of the planet. They also begin to deploy a blockade defense line using the planet's equator as the baseline.
The main gun group under the Jaeger-class bridge continued to fire, and blue turbine laser beams continued to shoot out, causing ripples on the shield of the Gauss weapon platform. Then the shield shattered, and after bursts of violent explosions,
The weapons platform disintegrated into countless fragments.
The naval officers and soldiers of the Galactic Republic are now very familiar with the Gauss weapon platform widely used by the Fourth Civilization. This weapon platform is a disgusting thing-it is not big and has no maneuverability. It has two 500mm caliber heavy-duty weapons.
Electromagnetic gun, two 8-unit missile launchers, and two upper and lower close-in defense laser cannons.
The firepower of these weapon platforms is simply insignificant for a large battleship like the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, but if there are too many, it will be very annoying.
Especially later, the Fourth Civilization upgraded the target downlink and networked the fire control systems of the Gauss weapon platforms around all planets, which made them a greater threat. Sometimes the combat computers of these weapon platforms would even directly use those two weapons.
Use the main gun to lock on the fighter!
And don't tell me, under the coordinated control of those advanced central control hosts built on the planet, the fighter pilots of the Republic will be hit accidentally. Once these more than 1,000 G are overloaded, weighing 1.8 tons
When a cannonball hits it, the fighter jet will fall apart immediately, and not even a single part can be retrieved.
And this kind of weapon platform is actually very cheap to build. It is mainly made of outdated technology, and all advanced gadgets are in the ground command center. So now there are basically 3,400 platforms around the planet controlled by the fourth civilization.
Gauss weapon platform, some core planets, such as the planet Havin, are surrounded by thousands of them!
The ammunition load of each Gauss defense platform is not high, with 20 electromagnetic artillery shells, 48 missiles and two sets of laser batteries. Anyway, if you can throw out all these ammunition during the battle, it will be a victory.
Of course, the naval officers and soldiers of the Galactic Republic have also figured out countermeasures. They usually do not take off fighter jets, but directly attack with battleships. This may take a little more time, but they can always clean up these weapon platforms with almost no damage.
Now, more than 400 Gauss weapon platforms outside the Fang of Kuna are gradually being cleared. Then, after a gap appears in the defense line, the Republic fleet launched a landing operation.
Because there is no Cheer-class assault landing ship, it is still very troublesome for the Republic fleet to land. They must let the Jaeger-class battlecruiser enter the atmosphere, and then use a large number of LAAT assault transport boats to repeatedly transport troops.
Therefore, the first two Jaeger-class ships to enter the atmosphere carried almost no land forces. They were loaded with hundreds of LAAT assault transport boats and an equal number of fighter jets. After entering the atmosphere, they released all fighter jets to seize air supremacy and let all LAATs fly
Go out and bomb the ground targets under the cover of fighter jets.
After this, the Jaeger class full of clone soldiers will continue to enter the atmosphere, and then those LAATs that stayed in the atmosphere first will transport the soldiers to the ground and form a position.
Landing the battleship directly on the ground is an option that is impossible to consider. The consumption of repeatedly entering and exiting the atmosphere is enough to make the commander of the Republic Fleet, Theost, feel pain, not to mention the consumption of landing and taking off again.
The energy is almost 5 times that entering and exiting the atmosphere!
On the Fang of Kuna planet, the army of the Fourth Civilization's Model Sector Legion finally put up a very determined resistance.
A large number of vulture robot fighters soared into the sky, competing with the Republic fleet for air supremacy in the atmosphere. Moreover, the anti-aircraft firepower deployed on the planet was also in full force, with countless missiles, lasers and artillery shooting into the sky, and countless explosions and
The flames almost illuminated the entire sky red.
There is only one orbital defense cannon on the planet, which is also constantly firing at the Republic fleet outside the atmosphere. This is also the main target of the Republic army.
The Jaeger-class battlecruiser that entered the atmosphere flew directly against the anti-aircraft firepower on the planet's surface, and used the battleship's main gun to continuously bomb the position of the orbital defense cannon, and finally completely destroyed the cannon. And this battleship
Its shields were also severely hit by ground fire and had to climb back out of the atmosphere in an emergency.
On the Fang of Kuna planet, the resistance of the Fourth Civilization’s Model Sector Corps was crazy! They knew very well that the Republic fleet’s ability to project ground power was limited, so they organized a quick reaction force and took a transport spaceship converted from a cargo ship.
When they discovered where the Republic troops were landing, they immediately rushed over and attacked the Republic clone troops with an absolute numerical advantage.
Master Yoda responded immediately. He sent an additional ARC-170 fighter squadron from the warships in outer orbit to enter the atmosphere, and then conducted concentrated bombing on the airports and spaceports on the Fang of Kuna planet, intending to destroy the opponent's
Project capabilities globally, and then concentrate forces to establish a stable landing site 300 kilometers away from the planet's capital, Noire City, and concentrate forces to establish a firm foothold first.
This strategy has achieved very good results. After a quick reaction force of the Model Sector Legion exchanged fire with the Republic clone army, their transport ship was destroyed by an ARC-170 heavy fighter that suddenly fell from the sky. As a result, they themselves became alone.
, was completely defeated by the Republic clone army, which received constant air support, and suffered heavy casualties.
After destroying all the airports and spaceports on the Fang of Kuna planet, at least on the surface, Black Point City became an isolated city. Although there are still a large number of troops on the planet, they lack transportation power and cannot be used in a short time.
Came over for reinforcements, and at this time, the number of clone troops who landed also increased to 20,000, and they began to launch a counterattack against the Model sector army that came to attack.
The clone troops once again exerted extremely strong combat effectiveness. Even though the number of Model sector troops gathered here to try to launch an attack while their footing was unstable was close to 50,000, they still held on to their position and after launching a counterattack, they only used
The opponent was completely defeated in 2 hours.
The army in the Model sector collapsed, with more than 15,000 casualties and casualties, and the rest basically surrendered.
At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed from the periphery of the Fang of Kuna planet, and then a fleet jumped out of hyperspace and arrived here.
