The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1045. The Second Battle of the Mordel Sector (1)

Time: 21BBY, June 27.

Location: Outer Ring of the Milky Way, Western Territory, Moder Region, Zuma Star Region, Kuna Star Cluster, and the outer orbit of the planet Kuna's Fang.

20 Hunter-class battlecruisers are moving in orbit outside the planet. They each perform their duties and begin to clean up the Gaussian automatic defense platform set up on the periphery of the planet, and begin to deploy a blockade defense line based on the planet's equator line.

The main guns under the Jaeger-class bridge kept firing, and the blue turbo laser beams shot out continuously, causing ripples on the shield of the Gauss weapon platform, and then the shield shattered, and after bursts of violent explosions, the weapon The platform breaks down into countless fragments.

The naval officers and soldiers of the Galactic Republic are now very familiar with this Gauss weapon platform widely used by the fourth civilization. This kind of weapon platform is a disgusting thing-it is small and has no mobility. It has two 500mm caliber heavy-duty electromagnetic guns, two 8-mounted missile launchers, and two upper and lower near-anti-laser cannons.

The firepower of these weapon platforms is negligible for a large battleship of the Hunter-class battlecruiser level, but if there are too many, it will be very annoying.

Especially after the Fourth Civilization upgraded the target downlink, and networked the fire control systems of all the Gauss weapon platforms around the planet, which made them more threatening. Sometimes the combat computers of these weapon platforms would even directly use the two Use the main gun to lock the fighter!

And don't tell me, under the coordinated control of those advanced central control hosts built on the planet, the Republic's fighter pilots will really be hit if they are not careful. Once these 1.8-ton artillery shells with an overload of more than 1,000 G hit them, the fighter jets will fall apart directly, and even a piece of parts cannot be retrieved.

However, the cost of this weapon platform is actually very cheap, mainly some outdated technologies, and all advanced gadgets are in the ground command center. So now there are at least 3,400 Gauss weapon platforms around the planets controlled by the fourth civilization, and some core planets, such as Havan Planet, are densely packed with thousands of them!

Each Gauss defense platform has a low ammunition load, 20 rounds of electromagnetic shells, 48 ​​missiles and two sets of laser batteries. Anyway, throwing all these ammunition out in battle is a victory.

Of course, the naval officers and soldiers of the Galactic Republic have also figured out countermeasures. They generally don't take off fighter jets, but directly drive warships to fight hard. It may take a little more time, but they can always clean up these weapon platforms with almost no damage.

But now, more than 400 Gauss weapon platforms outside the planet Kuna's Fang are gradually being cleared, and then after a gap appeared in the defense line, the Republic Fleet launched a landing operation.

Because there is no cheerer-class assault landing ship, it is still very troublesome for the Republic fleet to land. They must let the hunter-class battlecruiser enter the atmosphere, and then use a large number of LAAT assault transport boats to transport troops repeatedly.

Therefore, the first two Jaeger-class ships to enter the atmosphere hardly carried the army. They were loaded with hundreds of LAAT assault transport boats and the same number of fighter jets. After entering the atmosphere, they released all fighter jets to seize air supremacy, and let all LAAT fly out to bomb ground targets under the cover of fighter jets.

After that, there will continue to be a hunter class full of clone soldiers entering the atmosphere, and then those LAATs that stayed in the atmosphere first will transport the soldiers to the ground to form a position.

Landing the battleship directly on the ground is an option that is simply impossible to consider. The consumption of repeatedly entering and exiting the atmosphere is enough to make the Republic Fleet Commander Sioster a pain in the flesh, not to mention landing and taking off once, the energy consumed is almost 5 times that of entering and exiting the atmosphere!

On the planet Kuna's Fang, the Army of the Fourth Civilization's Model Sector Legion finally put up a very resolute resistance.

A large number of vulture robot fighters rose into the sky, competing with the Republic Fleet for air supremacy in the atmosphere. And the anti-aircraft firepower deployed on the planet is also fully fired. Countless missiles, lasers and artillery are constantly shooting into the sky. Countless explosions and flames almost reflect the entire sky red.

There is only one orbital defense cannon on the planet, and it is also constantly firing at the Republic fleet outside the atmosphere, which is also the main target of the Republic army.

The Jaeger-class battlecruiser that entered the atmosphere flew directly against the anti-aircraft firepower on the surface of the planet, and used the main gun of the battleship to continuously bombard the position of the orbital defense cannon, finally completely destroying the cannon. The shield of this battleship was also severely hit by ground fire, and it had to climb up urgently and return to the outside of the atmosphere.

On the planet Kuna's Fang, the resistance of the Fourth Civilization's Mordel Sector Legion is insane! They knew very well that the Republic Fleet's ground power projection capability was limited, so they organized a quick-response force to ride on a transport spaceship converted from a cargo ship. As soon as they found a Republic army landing, they immediately rushed over to clone the Republic with an absolute numerical advantage. The human army attacks.

Master Yoda responded immediately. He dispatched a squadron of ARC-170 fighter jets from the warships in outer orbit to enter the atmosphere, and then concentratedly bombed the airport and spaceport on the planet Kuna's Fang, aiming to destroy the opponent's The ability to launch globally, and then concentrate its forces to establish a stable landing field 300 kilometers away from the capital of the planet, Black Point City, and concentrate its forces to gain a firm foothold first.

This strategy has achieved very good results. After a quick-reaction force of the Model Sector Corps exchanged fire with the Republic clone army, their transport ship was destroyed by an ARC-170 heavy fighter that suddenly fell from the sky, and they themselves became a lone army. , was completely defeated by the clone army of the Republic, which continued to receive air support, and suffered heavy casualties.

After destroying all the airports and spaceports on the planet Kuna's Fang, at least on the bright side, Black Point City became an isolated city. Although there are still a large number of troops on the planet, they lack transportation power and cannot come for reinforcements in a short time. At this time, the number of clone troops who landed has also increased to 20,000. fought back.

The clone troopers once again demonstrated their incomparably powerful combat effectiveness. Even though the number of troops in the Model sector gathered here to try to take advantage of their unstable foothold to launch an attack was close to 50,000, they still held their positions firmly, and after launching a counterattack, they only used The opponent was completely defeated in 2 hours.

The army in the Model sector collapsed, with more than 15,000 casualties, and the rest basically surrendered.

At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed on the periphery of the planet Kuna's Fang, and then a fleet jumped out of hyperspace and came here.

The main fleet in the hands of Volgograd-Kanidi finally appeared!
