938, Battle of the West: Attack and Defense of Tarastra (Part 1)
Eriadu system, planet 5, gas giant planet, Tarastra, satellite 3.
This is a large satellite with a diameter of more than 1,500 kilometers, an orbital defense position of the Galactic Republic.
In the center of this large crater with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers, more than 500 heavy-duty turbolaser cannons are densely installed. Now these turbolaser cannons all point their muzzles at the sky, and then continuously fire out powerful blaster beams.
With almost every shot, hundreds of hot and bright blaster beams illuminated the satellite in an instant. The effect of the attack could not be seen here at all, but one could only see a place flickering among the numerous stars.
With starlight.
In the sky of the satellite, thick beams of light continued to fall from the sky, setting off waves of horrific explosions on the ground. Turbolaser turrets one after another were destroyed by this powerful firepower. In some places, energy leakage even produced pieces of energy in the universe.
A sea of fire that cannot be extinguished in a vacuum.
The originally thin atmosphere of this satellite was directly blown away by this extremely powerful attack. Due to the gravity of the planet Tarastra, a star ring was formed around the satellite and directly connected to the gas giant planet.
The fourth civilization's Viking fighters and Ghost fighters continued to fly over the satellite and launched powerful cluster missiles.
The more than a thousand close-range anti-aircraft guns installed on the crest of the crater also fired wildly at the sky, forming an almost airtight net in the sky!
Fighters were shot down, missiles were intercepted, and gorgeous explosions never stopped in the sky.
During the fierce battle, finally, thanks to the fearless battle of the fighter pilots of the Fourth Civilization, three Dayinwan-type super proton torpedoes launched from the Ogre-class torpedo cruiser finally broke through the defense and landed on the satellite!
The blue proton cloud that was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly swept everything in an instant! This was followed by the collapse and release of proton energy. The entire crater position was completely destroyed in this moment, leaving only a large piece of lava with a diameter of 200 kilometers.
ocean.
The battle continued in other directions, but after the crater position was destroyed, dozens of assault landing spacecraft took off from the Kesov-class battlecruiser in outer orbit, and then landed directly on the outside of the crater position.
The gravity of this satellite is very small, so there is no need for a powerful force like the Fourth Army. Ordinary army soldiers can also meet the requirements of this low-intensity orbital airborne landing.
These Fourth Civilization Army soldiers wearing fully enclosed Liberator II combat uniforms immediately installed the equipment that had been airborne at the same time, established a landing position on the satellite ground, and set up a crustal drilling equipment.
The orbital airborne landing continued. Under the cover of the Fourth Civilization fleet and fighter jets, ten crustal drilling equipment were installed, and then these armies quickly evacuated.
These mining beams sent from the United Mining Group were extremely efficient and immediately began to operate automatically, drilling more than 100 kilometers deep in just over ten hours! This was followed by another wave of robots airborne, and these robots directly
A Da Yinwan super proton torpedo was thrown in from the drilled hole!
Another brilliant and terrifying explosion!
Satellite No. 3 was blown to pieces in just a few minutes!!
During this period of time, the fleet of the 18th Army of the Galactic Republic and the fleet of the Fourth Civilization continued to exchange fire, and reserve forces from both sides continued to arrive, and then continued the battle to take over the injured warships.
Severance Tann sent Kesov-class battlecruisers to continuously launch orbital airdrops against the five satellite bases of the planet Tarastra, trying to allow the airborne troops to install mining beam equipment, and then destroy these satellites directly from the inside.
However, Wilhuff Tarkin, who had suffered a loss, responded immediately. As soon as the Kesov-class battlecruiser appeared, the Republic's fighter jets immediately rushed forward with the momentum of moths flying into the flame to prevent them from landing.
Even if they can't stop it, they will send clone troops to conduct anti-landing operations and destroy those mining beam platforms.
Severance Tann showed uncharacteristically great patience during this battle in the Eriadu system. She did not risk launching a surprise attack that would be both profitable and dangerous, but instead carried out a steady and steady attack.
It was at this time that her basic skills as a top student at Keith Naval Academy were revealed!
The teaching purpose of the Chiss Naval Academy has always been to strike before the enemy! As a top student and genius rarely seen by the Chiss in a century, this is the true tactical level of Severance Tann. The previous aggressive surprise attack was actually not
It's not her specialty.
The formation of the Fourth Civilization Fleet is airtight and constantly moves with the movement of the Republic's defense line to ensure that its fleet will not be attacked from more than two directions at the same time.
At the same time, every attack she launches is a very complex joint operation. Even an orbital landing operation requires the use of fighter units, battleship cover, mobile fleet pulls, and fire coverage. It will be a three-dimensional operation.
She skillfully used the assistance of the combat command computer and T-series tactical robots, turning all of this into a part of her own brain, and then installed the entire campaign into it!
Army Major General and deputy campaign commander Ling Liang has been following Severance Tann, learning her combat methods, and also using his own methods to assist Tann's command.
Although the two still don't like each other, at least for now, when the enemy is facing them, their cooperation is quite harmonious.
If this were not the case, relying on the orbital defense facilities installed by the 18th Army on the five satellites of the Tarastra planet, the fleet of the Fourth Civilization would not be able to sustain it for long after a frontal attack.
…
The planet Grensson is a giant spaceport built for the battle. This spaceport is a ring with a diameter of more than 10,000 meters, which can accommodate 50 kilometer-level warships at the same time, and carry out basic maintenance and supply work.
There are two such space stations on the planet Glenson.
A white light flashed past, and a Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser instantly left hyperspace and appeared here. Almost at the same time as the battleship left hyperspace, some areas of the battleship exploded and disintegrated, and the entire battleship was filled with flames and thick smoke.
The Raz-class heavy engineering ship that had been prepared immediately flew over and captured the Dreadnought-class ship with a heavy tractor beam. At the same time, the Xingzi-class maintenance drone mothership also began to operate, and the mothership body flew over and sprayed it in the vacuum.
The gel material used to extinguish the fire was used, and at the same time, thousands of maintenance drones flew out from the drone hangar and began to repair the outer shell of the battleship.
The hospital ship was also ready. They attached themselves to the battleship and sent a rescue team to rescue the crew inside the battleship.
