1095, Dark Night Plan - The Fall of Eliadu (Part 1) (two chapters in one)
"This is the topic the council just discussed." Palpatine said coldly, "Under my strong orders, the Republic fleet has always maintained a position in the Darkknell system close to the Eriadu system.
A powerful fleet. It was not used even when General Grievous attacked the Delon system, and the sudden appearance of the mechanical civilization Geth attacked the Ord-Mantel system."
He paused, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "In today's parliament, people like Bail Organa and Padmé Amidala tried to pass a bill to save civilians. They hope
An agreement was reached with the separatists to launch civilian rescue operations immediately after the hyperspace storm ended... Hahahaha, so naive! The moment the hyperspace storm subsided, the only things that could enter the Eriadu system were powerful battleships
!”
"It was Separatism, Severance Tann, and Tang Xiao that led to the death of most civilians. Why should the Galactic Republic pay for the Separatism's mistakes?" Tarkin sneered.
"Yes, I told them in the council, do they want to see that when the separatist heavily armed warships are pouring into the Eriadu system, what we send in are food ships?" Palpatine said.
, "Those guys who are still advocating peace now are really stupid! Hahahaha... Don't worry, my friend, you will escape from the Eriadu system unscathed."
"I never worry about your promises, Mr. Speaker. What I care about is how to get back everything I lost in Eriadu!" Wilhuff Tarkin said viciously.
"This day will not be long...not...hahahaha! Everything is in my plan!" Palpatine laughed and closed the communication.
…
21BBY, July 31st.
After leaving more than 500,000 troops on the periphery to resist the reinforcements coming from all directions, the Fourth Civilization Army gathered more than 700,000 troops and launched an attack on Elixiang City, the capital of the planet Eriadu, from five directions.
For a moment, the sound of cannons rumbled and the sound of killing shook the sky! At least 10 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers flew over the city and launched a continuous bombardment of the city!
This huge city, built into a fortress by Wilhuff Tarkin, also burst out with extremely powerful fighting power.
Countless anti-aircraft fires, missiles and even heavy artillery were raised above the city's buildings, attacking the Fourth Civilization fighters and battleships in the sky with powerful firepower.
At the same time, at least 2 million troops are already waiting in the city. These troops are the most elite troops, not only the well-trained and battle-hardened veterans accumulated from the beginning of the war until now, but also all the more than 20,000 people on the planet.
of clone troopers.
These elites will never simply back down!
Because even their leader, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin of the 18th Army, was fighting alongside them in the city!
...At least that's what they think.
In this super city that once had a total population of more than 300 million and spanned more than 150 kilometers, a brutal street battle finally began.
The armies of the Fourth Civilization were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, but they gave full play to their powerful firepower. No matter what was in front of them, as long as there was a slight movement, it would be covered by a burst of gunfire.
The Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser is their first line of fire preparation. The Dreadnought-class will carry out coverage bombing based on pre-determined buildings that are likely to have fire points, and will continue to conduct all-round artillery strikes on all areas where there may be movement.
The Vulture robot fighter planes cover the Coyote robot bombers, which cruise over the city almost all day long. Whenever they find a moving target on the ground, they dive down and drop powerful bombs and rockets from the sky like locusts.
The artillery position composed of siege tanks is stationed on the high ground outside the city. They will not fire at will, but will carry out precise bombing according to the artillery requests of the army soldiers entering the city.
And if it is a target that the siege tanks cannot hit, the task of precision bombing will be handed over to the Banshee fighter.
Under the attack of such multi-unit three-dimensional firepower, a large number of firepower points deployed in Elixiang City were completely destroyed soon after the war began. However, the defenders here are very tenacious, and there are more firepower points either hidden underground or
It is reinforced and even protected by a deflector shield, making it impossible to destroy in time.
They started hide-and-seek with the Fourth Civilization's army in the city.
However, the commander-in-chief of the campaign army, Major General Ling Liang of the Fourth Civilization Army, did not intend to play games with them like this. What she wanted was to complete the battle as soon as possible!
The duration of the hyperspace storm is not far away.
No one believed that she could capture the city of Elixiang within a month, including the commander-in-chief of the campaign, Admiral Severance Tann, who was also waiting to see her joke.
However, she just wants to make the impossible possible!
At this moment, she has also arrived on the planet Eriadu, and has established her own command post on one of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers. She overlooks this huge circular city from a high position, and then continuously issues instructions.
Although the Given national treasure mathematician Bacher-Banach has returned to the planet Yago-Dur, there is still a Given mathematical team following her at all times to provide advice for her command.
Ling Liang was originally a representative figure of academic generals. Maybe her talent was not as good as Severance Tann's unfettered imagination, but that didn't mean that her talent was mediocre.
After being awakened by Tang Xiao, she began to study cosmic warfare and fleet command. At that time, when she was stationed in the Yago-Dur system and commanded, she used the zero-mode probability summation that the Jiwen people used to predict and calculate the development of the universe.
The combination of combat command and command formed its own unique command method.
Moreover, if Severance Tann is better at conducting surprise attacks with elite troops, then commanding large-scale legions, especially the combat mode of mixed three-dimensional strikes with multiple arms, is what Ling Liang is best at.
She prepared a very detailed battle plan for the Fourth Civilization Army's critical battle, and used every force and firepower to the maximum extent possible.
Based on early reconnaissance and constant calculations, she divided the entire city of Elixiang into more than 13,000 areas, and different areas have different data for calculation and analysis.
Just to complete the overall planning of these areas, she used 20 T-series tactical robots to assist in command.
After completing the division of more than 13,000 areas, Ling Liang began to implement the battle plan he had planned for a long time.
Standing on the bridge of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, overlooking the huge area of Elixiang City, Ling Liang said coldly: "The time is ripe! Call the combat units at all levels! The Dark Night Plan has officially begun!"
"Roger, combat units at all levels have been notified that the Dark Night Project has officially begun." said a T-series tactical robot.
"The order has been issued, and the details of the combat plan have been sent to combat unit commanders at all levels according to their authority. The dark night plan has begun." Another T-series tactical robot said.
There was no roar of artillery fire or sea of fire filling the sky. The battlefield remained the same as before, as if the beginning of this so-called dark night plan was just a verbal talk.
However, soon, only a dull sound of cannons was heard.
A large number of artillery shells were fired from these Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers. These shells did not explode after landing, but instead spewed out endless black smoke!
This special smoke bomb launched by 10 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers filled the entire city in a short time. Not only that, there were also several formations of ghost fighter planes passing over the city, and the smoke spray devices hanging behind the fighter planes also continued to spray smoke.
Black smoke erupted, completely covering the sky above the city!
As the black smoke continued to spread and spread, in less than an hour, the entire city of Elixiang was completely shrouded in black mist!
This black smoke is obviously not ordinary smoke. This smoke condenses in the air and does not disperse. It is difficult to be blown away by the wind. Moreover, the density of the smoke is similar to that of the air, so it gathers within the range of 500 meters from the city ground.
.
Under the shroud of smoke, almost all electronic signals cannot be emitted!
Now the entire city of Elixiang is shrouded in darkness, and it is impossible to know anything happening inside, whether visually or through instruments and equipment!
The entire city has completely become a blind spot!
On the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser where Ling Liang is located, the staff has overlaid the previously designed zoning map of more than 13,000 blocks on the holographic projection of the city, and then the team of Jiwen mathematicians immediately started calculations.
"Based on the city structure, terrain, previous fire reconnaissance, and the underground pipe network coverage map scanned by the instrument, there are 3,744 points where the garrison probability exceeds 60%." One of the Jiwen mathematicians clicked on the projection.
After a while, dense red dots suddenly appeared on it.
"Excluding the exposed fire points, there are 24,412 possible fire points and fire teams in the city with a probability of more than 60%." Another mathematician projected another denser mark on the holographic projection map. If not
Computer-aided calculations are simply impossible to handle.
"We have designed a special zero-mode formula based on the political, economic, humanistic, and military conditions around Elixiang City, and now we are starting to bring it into the calculation." A Jiwen mathematician waved, a T-series tactical robot
Come over and start auxiliary calculations on the battle situation.
"Then according to the calculation results of the formula, after the city is shrouded in black fog, these are the garrison points that may respond..." Jiwen mathematician said while clicking on the hologram, and the dense marks on it immediately began to change.
, and the direction of movement is drawn.
Ling Liang drew a few lines on the hologram and said: "Carry out selective bombing to induce their actions."
"Roger." The T-series tactical robot replied, and immediately issued instructions on the network.
All they saw was that just outside the bridge where they were, a turbolaser turret was slowly rotating, aiming in one direction and blasting! Boom! Several consecutive shots!
The green turbine laser beam instantly exploded in the target area. Even if the power was reduced, the powerful power still set off a huge fireball hundreds of meters high.
The turret adjusted its angle slightly, and then fired a few more cannons!
At the same time, other warships also began to bomb as planned.
"Let the army troops enter the city." Ling Liang gave the order.
In the hologram of the city in front of her, the countless marks were constantly changing and moving. This was based on further simulation calculations based on the bombing situation, and the possible movement directions and methods of these targets were obtained.
Hundreds of thousands of Army soldiers of the Fourth Civilization began to enter this city shrouded in black fog. Commanders at all levels had a device in their hands that could conduct minimal contact and communication in the black fog. According to the instructions, they began to purposefully
Clean every building.
Among the first batch of army soldiers who entered the city, there were no Inchoris. Currently, these most powerful soldiers are still fighting fiercely on the periphery with several Eriadu defenders who want to break out for reinforcements, and this dark night plan is not suitable.
They play.
Ling Liang's dark night plan is to use black fog to completely turn the city into a blind spot, a blind spot that will become blind for both the enemy and us!
However, she has zero-mode probability and a team of mathematicians from Jiwen! She uses the model lake model established by this probability to predict and calculate the garrison location and possible movements of the defenders, and then completely uses mathematics to command
Fight!
Obviously, if her calculations are correct, then compared to the Republic defenders who have become blind, the Fourth Civilization Army under her command is actually fighting!
But if the calculation is wrong, it will be a disaster for the army of the fourth civilization entering the city!
However, it is not so easy to make mistakes. After all, the urban environment and terrain are here. A building with a good view and a solid structure. As the defender, you do not deploy a force here to control the surrounding area, but do the opposite and control the surrounding area.
It can't be done if it's left to dry in a square in the middle of nowhere. I really can't figure it out.
But such a stupid person will not appear, at least not in the Republic commander in the battle for Elixiang City.
From a normal situation, or a high probability situation, forces must be deployed here, then this will be included in the calculation! What's more, in the previous fire reconnaissance, Elixiang City has exposed many fire layouts.
The deployment situation continues to be brought into the formula to improve, which makes the accuracy of this calculation actually not low!
Ling Liang stood in the sky above Elixiang City, a huge city with a length of more than 150 kilometers, as if there was a huge Go board in front of him!
She closed her eyes, picked up her black chess pieces, and through her own calculations, kept placing pieces on the chessboard, and then forced the invisible white pieces into a desperate situation little by little, and then completely cannibalized them!
Maybe she would make a mistake and drop the black stone into the grid where the invisible white stone already existed. Then the result would be that the black stone would be overturned and shattered on the spot.
But the more chess pieces she left behind built a huge net in the darkness, covering the entire city!
