Explosions continued to ring out on the battlefield, both on the city shields and in the outlying Republic Army landing areas.
The two warring parties have completely unleashed their firepower, leaving nothing to hide.
However, the city-level shield of the City of Steel caused great trouble for the Republic's army. This city-level shield was extremely strong, and the extreme situation of being besieged was fully taken into consideration when it was designed and manufactured. In the city
The shield generator has an extremely large shield capacitor, which is enough for the shield to neutralize most incoming firepower.
And because this city was built on the basis of the previous forward base of the Mandalorian Crusaders, you must know that the Ultimate Mandalorian wanted to invade the Galactic Republic, but it took more than ten years to prepare. On the Dexon satellite
This forward base was originally prepared for millions of Mandalorian Crusaders, so after more than ten years of construction and operation, it has become large-scale and very strong.
Because of this, Wilhuff Tarkin's previous plan to order the flagship to bomb other parts of the satellite in an attempt to destroy the Iron City through indirect damage such as volcanoes and earthquakes completely failed.
In fact, if Wilhuff Tarkin had concentrated all his warships for targeted bombing, he would still have had a chance to destroy the shield, but his deep self-preservation mentality made him choose such a way without having to face the orbit.
The method of defending the system failed.
So now, with his battleships being stabbed and his orbital bombing capability almost lost, the city shield that he has never been able to solve has become the biggest obstacle in front of the Galactic Republic.
Faced with this one-way shield installed by Tyran Heavy Industry at all costs, the Republic's army did not have many options.
You know, that is because the Dirksen satellite is located in the inner ring of the Milky Way and is an important base for the production of Behemoth-class battlecruisers. Otherwise, they would not have the chance to install this one-way shield.
After all, even a thousand-meter-class battleship is not qualified to install a one-way shield - because with the current production process and technological level, this shield system alone is more expensive than a battleship.
The only option for the Republic Army is to continue bombing and then find a way to let the Army enter.
…
Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Hush, hush, hush~~~~Boom!
In this battlefield filled with bullets, almost no place is safe. Almost every inch of the air is filled with bullets and blaster beams flying back and forth, leaving no place to hide.
The disembarked Republic soldiers hid behind bunkers made of portable fence shields, frightened by the firepower whizzing across the sky and afraid to come forward.
Peng! Peng! Peng! A series of dull explosions sounded, and thick smoke mixed with light special metal powder began to fill the air, cutting off everything in front.
"Smoke grenades deployed!
Listen to me, Company 107! Did you see the building clearly on the right front just now? Rush over and hide behind the building, and you will succeed! There is only 600 meters away! Hurry, hurry, hurry!
!" an officer said loudly, pointing to a building outside the City of Steel.
"Company 107, follow me!" The company commander also took the risk, roared and rushed over with the soldiers of the company.
As soon as they came out of the bunker, a dense burst of artillery fire hit the opposite side! In an instant, more than ten people were knocked to the ground.
The other soldiers were frightened. Some turned around and tried to return to the bunker, but the officer shot them all dead on the spot. The remaining soldiers shouted wildly and charged forward, but were killed by artillery fire like wheat.
"Company 108! Enter!
"The officer continued to yell," Rush into the shield range! Seize the bunker! Everyone will be given an apartment on Coruscant! 109th Company is ready!
"
Another company of soldiers rushed forward! On the opposite side, a large number of combat robots were already waiting in full formation. When they saw the Republic soldiers appearing, they immediately started shooting wildly again!
A company of nearly 200 soldiers advanced less than 300 meters before they were all wiped out.
But more soldiers still came one after another.
A LAAT/C assault transport boat landed quickly with an AT-TE walker hanging on it. It was destroyed by anti-aircraft fire before it even landed. The AT-TE landed with a bang, and then its six mechanical legs began to move forward at maximum horsepower.
Gradually speed up.
The artillery fire in the city became more intense, and naturally a target as big as the AT-TE would not be missed. Missiles and rockets came one after another, exploding on the walker.
"The walker is coming! Company 112 is following!
"The officer shouted, "Signal Corps!
Where are our armored units??”
"It's such a mess! I don't know where it is! It said there was a formation of Saber tanks landing in our direction, but I didn't see a hair!" the signal soldier also yelled.
Bang!
!A burning wreckage fell from the sky and landed more than ten meters away from them. It was the wreckage of a TX-130 Saber tank. It seemed that it was shot down on the transport plane.
"Now you see where they are! Keep calling me for reinforcements! I want tanks! I want walkers!
"The officer yelled.
Boom! Boom! Boom! There was another fierce explosion over there, and I saw that the AT-TE walker was hit by several anti-tank missiles, the armor was penetrated, and it disintegrated in the flames of the explosion.
.
But the Republic soldiers hiding behind the walker rushed out from behind the wreckage of the walker and rushed forward against the crazy firepower from the opposite side.
There was another massacre like wheat harvesting, and hundreds of soldiers were killed by crazy artillery fire. But finally dozens of people rushed into the shield range. They entered the light curtain and were finally able to open fire on the combat robots on the opposite side.
He rolled and crawled to hide behind the building, and then threw a few more smoke grenades with his backhand. Some soldiers carrying more equipment also opened drones and remote-controlled bombs to bomb the combat robot's position.
The sound of gunfire continued all the time, and the corpses of Republic soldiers covered almost every place in the large area from the landing site to the shield. But the attack continued!
"Company 129! Enter!
Company 129!
"The officer's voice was hoarse, but he was still yelling into the communicator.
"The 129th company's spaceship was shot down! No one survived!" the communications soldier said.
"Company 130! Attack!
Someone has already entered the shield range! Keep moving forward!" the officer yelled.
"No! Going this way is a complete way to die!
"When the commander of the company saw the continuous massacre ahead, he was so frightened that his legs became weak and he could no longer stand still.
boom!
A soldier behind the officer shot the company commander in the head.
"Now you are the company commander! Come on!
"The officer pointed at the deputy company commander and said.
To advance is to die, and to retreat is also death. But the difference is that if you die while advancing, you will be treated as a death in battle, and your family may receive a pension.
"kill!
!
"The soldiers roared like they were venting their anger, picked up their guns, lined up in a skirmish line, and rushed forward quickly.
