The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1662. Ground General Attack

After some tossing, Casio Tag, the commander of the Galactic Republic Expeditionary Force, once again assembled an assault fleet composed of 60 battleships, and launched a fierce attack on the planet Anji!

This attack has indeed verified what Volgograd-Kanidi said before. Even though the Galactic Republic has now diverted a considerable part of its attention to the landing operations, their strength is still unmatched by the Dawn Principality's defensive fleet.

60 capital ships brazenly broke through the fleet defense of the Principality of Dawn, approaching the planet's low-earth orbit and began orbital bombing of the ground battlefield!

The orbital bombing didn't last long and didn't use the maximum power, but it still caused a devastating blow to the Kati City area, and almost the entire city was engulfed in flames! In the burning city, you can see lickers running around, covered in flames, and then they are smashed into powder by a new round of bombing.

The supply team that passed through Katie before was also completely destroyed during the bombing.

Immediately afterwards, under the cover of a large number of fighter jets, the Galactic Republic once again sent a large number of transport ships to land on the surface of the planet.

At the same time, a cheerer-class assault landing ship is also moving towards the Katie City area in the atmosphere, preparing to hover over that airspace to provide fire support.

One after another CSS-1 Republic-class transport ships landed, opened the hatches, and a large number of Spati clone soldiers filed out, regrouped to form a formation, and then scattered to expand the control area in the surrounding direction.

In fact, these Spati clone soldiers, no matter in terms of the number of soldiers who landed and the quality of equipment, are completely incomparable with the Kamino clone soldiers in their heyday. Of course, the former is more, and the latter is directly the Beggars’ Edition.

There are not many people who can take the LAAT assault transport boat for rapid airborne landing, and there are very few armored troops accompanying the landing. Most of them directly fill the cabin of the CSS-1 transport ship and then land directly. It's like driving a duck out of the cabin.

But it is undeniable that there are indeed enough of them.

Casio-Tag made up his mind to re-close the front line of the Kati City area, and directly invested 4 clone legions in this direction, with more than 38,000 people!

Moreover, the combat goal of these troops is not to blockade, but to stabilize their landing field as a strategic rear, and immediately prepare to attack towards the capital of the planet Anji.

Everything, just wait for the order of Major General Casio Tag!

...

20BBY, ​​on July 34th, on the 8th day after the start of the ground battle on Planet Anji, Casio-Tag issued a general attack order!

Around the capital of Planet Anji, apart from the east and southeast battlefields that have been suffering counterattacks and were unable to successfully close the front, the Galactic Republic divided into 9 groups and launched a full-scale attack from several other directions!

The total force is 170,000! All clone troopers!

There are 3 Cheer-class assault landing ships floating in the sky, providing fixed air fire support in three directions.

In a higher extraterrestrial orbit, Casio-Tag also gathered the power of 80 warships to attack the synchronous orbit over the capital of the planet!

Once these warships enter synchronous orbit, they will carry out orbital bombing of the capital district!

In addition to the warships in this direction, there are more than 140 warships scattered in several other directions to ensure smooth transportation at the landing site.

And there are a total of 220 warships, all of which are battleships!

The resistance of the Principality of Dawn is insane! Under the command of Volgograd-Kanidi, the Principality of Dawn assembled 40 capital ships and 110 small and medium-sized warships to launch a crazy counterattack.

Although the fleet of the Principality of Dawn is small in number, the command ability of Volgograd-Kanidi is excellent. Under his command, the fleet of the Principality of Dawn kept changing targets, either divided into small fleets to continuously harass the Republic's transport fleet, destroying their supply transport ships, or gathered together to bomb the Republic's warships trying to break into the synchronous orbit Make a strong attack.

In such a melee, the Hells Angels class battlecruiser shines. This kind of heavy-armored battlecruiser has almost become a nightmare for the warships of the Galactic Republic on the battlefield. They have powerful firepower and thick armor. Whenever a battle starts, they will rush into the formation of the Republic fleet and cause a lot of damage.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of Hell's Angel-class battlecruisers was only 10, the Republic Fleet could not resist at all!

Even if there are 30 Hells Angels, the Casio-Tag fleet with the Jaeger-class battlecruiser as the main force doesn't even dare to think about planetary synchronous orbit! !

And in fact, the most feared Hells Angel-class Republic spacecraft are undoubtedly those transport ships. Once the transport fleet is found by the Hell's Angel-class battlecruiser, the Hell's Angel-class will directly hit it with full power, and the surrounding Republic escort battleships can't stop it at all!

You must know that in the naval order of the Principality of Dawn, only the Hell Angel-class battlecruisers really play the role of assault battleships! Other warships, including the Behemoth class, are actually also inclined to provide fire support, or serve as all-rounders on the battlefield.

Only the Hell Angel class has achieved the ultimate in the word assault!

But even so, the powerful Republic Fleet still firmly grasped the advantage on the battlefield. Every battle ended with the fleet of the Principality of Dawn temporarily retreating, but the fleet of the Republic was still unable to achieve its combat goals.

But if this situation continues, the warships of the Duchy of Dawn will be more and more worn out and damaged. Compared with the fleet of the Republic, which can be easily rotated, it may not be long before the Duchy of Dawn has no warships available. .

And Rear Admiral Casio-Tag knew exactly this, so he gritted his teeth and endured the huge battle damage, and he wanted to confront the Duchy of Dawn's fleet head-on to the end!

The battlefield on the ground is even more tragic!

After the Republic's ground forces launched a general offensive, Volgograd-Kanidi immediately let the defenders on the planet Anji stand firm.

He mobilized a total of 2.8 million troops, almost 20 times the number of clone troopers in the Republic!

The defenders on the planet Anji shared the same hatred and launched wave after wave of counterattacks against the Republic's positions!

But no matter how cheap and mass-produced Spati clone soldiers are, no matter how mentally unstable, their combat skills and physical fitness are still far superior to those of ordinary people.

In addition, the Republic has absolute air superiority. After taking control of the air, the fighter formations of the Republic bombard the defenders of Planet Anji almost all the time, causing heavy losses!

They are fighting against the steel torrent of the Galactic Republic almost with flesh and blood!

On the second day after the start of the battle, the armies of the various armies of the Republic advanced the farthest by more than 40 kilometers.

At this time, the army suddenly cut off all contact at a certain time. At the same time, when the reconnaissance plane of the Republic was conducting the investigation, it only sent back a sentence-'They are marching towards us! '

After that, the reconnaissance plane also disappeared.

The location of this army is on the battlefield north of the capital area... and in the eyes of some talented people, in that direction, the black mist is filled with death and death! Just looking at it feels like being torn apart by countless resentful spirits!

In just one hour, the north side of the Capital District has become a world of death.
