941, Battle of the West: Attack and Defense of Tarastra (Part 2)
The 3 regiments of the Fourth Civilization Army and more than 11,000 people suffered heavy losses in this landing operation. Even if the transport ships tried their best to rescue them, less than 3,000 people could return.
Seeing such a miserable situation, Army Major General Ling Liang was furious and rushed in front of Severance Tann. The two quarreled again and almost started fighting again.
Afterwards, Ling Liang wrote a detailed report to the Supreme Military Command of the Fourth Civilization. However, he did not ask for Severance Tann to be replaced. He just wanted to punish her for violating the rules by blocking herself in the dormitory and making decisions without authorization.
conduct, and she retained her right to appeal to the Supreme Court Martial after the battle.
Then, Ling Liang returned to his job and continued to work on this battle. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Severance Tann and Ling Liang, the two commanders, had completely broken up.
.
Now that the Fourth Civilization Fleet has destroyed the turret groups set up by the 18th Army of the Republic on four of the satellites of the Tarastra planet, the Republic fleet found that the war situation was hopeless and retreated from the outer orbit of the Tarastra planet.
.
On April 35, the last satellite with a turret group outside the planet Tarastra was blown up, and the fleet of the fourth civilization finally won the first stage of victory.
Then, the Cole-class battlecruisers in the Fourth Civilization Fleet began to collect local materials, collect the wreckage of battleships and fighter jets that were destroyed in the previous battle, smelt them into balls of metal projectiles, and then use super-matter electromagnetic guns to shoot towards the Eclipse.
Launch in the direction of the planet Riaddu.
The war has temporarily subsided...
After experiencing the offensive and defensive battle on the planet Tarastra, both warring parties realized the strength of the other.
Wilhuff Tarkin completely gave up the idea of engaging in a battle with the Fourth Civilization fleet without cover. He retreated all his warships between the planet Eriadu and the planet's satellite, relying on these two
Each star is equipped with a planetary shield for defense.
And at this time, on May 2, bad news came again - the actual controller of the planet Salest, the fleet of the Sothrob Company failed to attack the planet Agma again!
The Fourth Civilization lost 20 of the 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers it had supported in the past. Southrob Company invested more than 2 million B-1 combat robots in landing operations on the planet Agma, but not even one came back.
At the same time, bad news also came from the direction of Planet Tibrin!
Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano of the Galactic Republic quietly spread a nanovirus on the planet, which directly paralyzed almost all combat droids on the planet. Fourth Civilization Computer Engineering Department
Experts are working overnight to crack the virus, but there is no result yet.
So now on the planet Tibrin, only the army of the Fourth Civilization cooperates with the native army of the Yinxi-Tibu people to resist the extremely elite clone warriors.
The clone army turned from defense to attack, and Anakin Skywalker's master and apprentice took action again, destroying the J-1 heavy proton cannon sent by the Technical Alliance, allowing the only operational Cheer-class assault landing ship to once again
Show great power.
Fortunately, the acting governor of the planet, the Dark Disciple Thora Balk, personally took action, defeated Anakin Skywalker, and saved two of the J-1 proton cannons. However, he still couldn't let go in the end.
Anakin, who kept his hand, ran away.
However, as a result, the battle situation on Tibrin's planet has become extremely dangerous, and even Severance Tann's fleet attacking the Eriadu system has felt a hint of threat from the flanks.
Severance Tann stood on the bridge of the flagship Rookery Hook-class battleship with her hands behind her back, looking at the vast universe outside the porthole window, silent.
After paying a huge price to barely conquer the outer defense line of the Eriadu system, the bad news that came one after another made her understand that with her own strength, it was almost impossible to conquer the planet Eriadu in a frontal battle.
Ling Liang was right, she did feel anxious because she had not yet found a way to chew down the iron bucket array.
As the battle progressed, huge amounts of supplies were consumed every day, but she was unable to resolve the battle quickly.
Ling Liang's accusation was very reasonable, but at the same time it was also unreasonable. Those 10,000 people were used to compete for a chance, a small chance, so in Severance Tann's view, failure was normal.
.
She never cares about the life or death of her subordinates.
But what to do now? Terminate the battle? Impossible... Both she and Tang Xiao knew very well that if they could not take advantage of the strong period when they just took over the Blade Fleet to capture the planet Eriadu, it would be even more difficult in the future.
No chance.
Looking at the other side of the porthole, the Cole-class battlecruisers lined up in a row, constantly firing super-material electromagnetic cannons towards the planet Eriadu, seemed to be setting off fireworks, but more importantly, they felt helpless to her.
of venting.
…
At the same time, on the planet Eriadu, the Outer Space Combat Command.
"Enemy kinetic energy weapon fire detected, track M-4479, affected by gravity, deflection rate 0.00042%..." A radar soldier turned back and reported to the commander.
"Start the interception procedure." The officer behind him gave the order.
On the military base of the Eriadu satellite, three large orbital defense systems began to turn their huge muzzles and began to aim. Then powerful energy began to accumulate, and then suddenly a cannon was fired!
The dull sound of artillery spread far, far away...
At the same time, the two CR-70 frigates broke away from the huge fleet array and flew towards the solid metal projectile launched.
Three groups of light lit up in the empty and dark universe. This was the light produced when the heavy-duty high-explosive artillery shells launched by the orbital defense system exploded near the solid projectiles.
The huge kinetic energy generated by the explosion caused the metal projectile to deviate from its trajectory and its speed began to decrease.
"Correction of coordinates, pre-aim... launch!" On the CR-70 frigate, the captain calmly gave the order.
The two frigates immediately launched full-power tractor beams at the corrected coordinates. The invisible beam accurately enveloped the metal projectile. The extremely powerful force began to drag the projectile from two directions at the same time, making the speed of the projectile lower and lower.
Coming lower and lower.
After flying for thousands of kilometers, the metal projectile with a diameter of more than 40 meters finally stopped.
The officer in the Republic Combat Command sneered, waved his hand and said: "Let them send this shell to the factory to be melted as raw material, and then remember to send a public channel message to the separatists to thank them for their contribution to Republic Metallurgy.
Contribution to mining.”
He deliberately spoke loudly and glanced at the thin figure who had been standing in front of the porthole, standing motionless with his hands behind his back.
However, there was no response from their governor, Wilhuff Tarkin.
