The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

941. Battle of the Western Territory: Attack and Defense of Tarastra (Part 2)

More than 11,000 people from the 3 regiments of the Fourth Civilization Army 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 tragic situation, Major General Ling Liang was furious and rushed to Severance Tann. The two quarreled again and almost fought again.

Afterwards, Ling Liang wrote a detailed report to the Supreme Military Command of the Fourth Civilization, but he did not request to replace Severance Tann, but only hoped that she would block herself in the dormitory for violating the rules and make a decision without authorization. The actions were dealt with, and she reserved her right to appeal to the Supreme Court Military after the campaign was over.

Then, Ling Liang returned to his job and continued to be busy with this battle. It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two commanders, Severance Tann and Ling Liang, have completely broken up.

Now the Fourth Civilization Fleet has destroyed the turrets set up by the 18th Army of the Republic on four of the satellites of the planet Tarastra. The Republic Fleet found that the battle situation was powerless, so it retreated from the outer orbit of the planet Tarastra .

On April 35th, the last satellite with a turret group on the periphery of 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 materials from the local area, collected the wreckage of battleships and fighter jets that had been destroyed in the previous battle, smelted them into balls of metal pellets, and then fired supermatter railguns at Egypt. Launched in the direction of the planet Riadu.

The flames of war have temporarily subsided...

After experiencing the offensive and defensive battles on the planet Tarastra, both warring parties realized the strength of the other side.

Wilhuff Tarkin completely cut off the idea of ​​fighting the Fourth Civilization Fleet in the state of being out of cover. He shrank all his warships between the planet Eliadu and the planet 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 Sullust, the fleet of the Southrob Company failed to attack the planet Agma again!

The Fourth Civilization supported the past 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers and lost 20 of them. Southrob invested more than 2 million B-1 combat robots to land on the planet Agma, but not even one came back.

At the same time, bad news came from the direction of Tibring Planet!

The Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano of the Galactic Republic quietly spread a nano-virus on the planet, which directly paralyzed almost all combat robots on the planet. Experts from the Fourth Civilization's Computer Engineering Department were working overnight to crack this virus, but there is no result yet.

So now on the Tibrin planet, only the Army of the Fourth Civilization cooperates with the local army of the Ishi-Tibu people to resist the extremely elite clone warriors.

The clone army turned from defense to attack, and Anakin-Skywalker's master and apprentice shot again, destroying the J-1 heavy proton cannon sent by the Technology Union, and making the only surviving Hurricane-class assault landing ship once again. Show off your power.

Fortunately in the misfortune, the acting governor of the planet, the dark believer Sora Balk, personally defeated Anakin Skywalker and preserved two of the J-1 proton cannons. But in the end he let the slippery Anakin run away.

But in this way, the battle situation on Tibring Planet has become extremely dangerous, and even Severance Tann's fleet attacking the Eliadu galaxy also felt a threat from the flanks.

Severance Tann stood with her hands behind her back on the bridge of the flagship Rucrehook-class battleship, staring at the vast universe outside the porthole, silent.

After paying a great price to barely conquer the outer defenses of the Eriadu galaxy, the successive bad news also made her understand that with her own strength, it is almost impossible to conquer the Eriadu planet in a frontal battle.

Ling Liang was right, she really felt anxious, because she hadn't found a way to chew down the iron bucket array yet.

As the battle progressed, a huge amount of supplies were consumed every day, but she couldn't solve the battle quickly.

Ling Liang's accusation is very reasonable, but at the same time it is also unreasonable. Those 10,000 people were used to fight for a chance, not a big chance, so in Severance Tann's view, it was normal to fail.

She never cared about the life and death of her subordinates.

But what now? End the battle? Impossible... Both she and Tang Xiao understand very well that if they can't take advantage of the strong period when they just took over the Blade Fleet to capture the planet Eriadu, they will have no chance in the future.

Looking at the other side of the porthole, the Cole-class battlecruisers lined up and constantly firing supermatter railguns towards the planet Eliadu seemed to be setting off fireworks, but more, it was helpless for her vent.

...

At the same time, on the planet Eliadu, the Outer Space Operations Command.

"The enemy's kinetic energy weapon was detected, orbiting M-4479, affected by gravity, with a deflection rate of 0.00042%..." A radar soldier turned his head and reported to the officer.

"Start the interception procedure." The officer behind him gave an order.

On the military base of the Eriadu satellite, three large orbital defense systems began to turn their huge muzzles and began to aim, and then powerful energy began to accumulate, and then suddenly blasted out!

The muffled sound of cannons spread far, far away...

At the same time, the two CR-70 frigates also broke away from the huge fleet array and flew towards the solid metal projectile that was launched.

Three balls of light lit up in the empty and dark universe. This is the light produced when the heavy propellant high-explosive shell fired by the orbital defense system exploded near the solid projectile.

The huge kinetic energy generated by the explosion caused the metal projectile to deviate from its orbit, and its speed began to decrease.

"Correct the coordinates, pre-aiming...launch!" On the CR-70 frigate, the captain calmly issued an order.

The two frigates immediately launched full-power traction beams to the corrected coordinates. The invisible beams accurately enveloped the metal projectiles, and the extremely powerful force began to drag the projectiles from two directions at the same time, making the speed of the projectiles lower and lower. come lower.

After flying 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 hands and said, "Let them send this shell to the factory to melt it as a raw material, and then remember to send a public frequency message to the separatists, thanking them for their contribution to the Republic's metallurgical industry." contribution to mining."

He deliberately spoke loudly, and glanced at the thin figure who had been standing in front of the porthole, standing still with his hands behind his back.

However, there was no response from their governor, Wilhuff Tarkin.
