The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1106. Eliadu Air Combat (1) [First update, ask for monthly ticket for subscription]

Hearing the report, Admiral Theoster turned on the interrupt and looked at the data of hyperspace fluctuations. He was rather disapproving, and said with a sneer: "Hehe, reinforcements? It seems that the separatists have found a poor army from nowhere. The small fleet came over, judging by the scale of this hyperspace fluctuation, there should be about 10 warships."

"Do you need to respond?" Another staff officer asked next to him.

"What's the reaction? Is it possible that we still have to meet them? Ha!" Admiral Theoster said humorously, "No need, the separatism is over, completely over. I don't know how long they searched The fleet we just obtained will be surpassed by our next batch of reinforcements. Three days later, 15 more Jaeger-class ships will arrive, and the warehouses and hangars are filled with fighter jets. We will bring 12,000 of them! Pay attention to coordination, because in order to carry more fighter jets, these Jaeger-level take-off platforms are full."

"This is the strength of the Republic, and it is our honor, General!" The staff officer stood at attention and saluted, and flattered him a little. "When the reinforcements arrive, I will arrange these fighters properly immediately."

Admiral Theoster came to the side of the holographic star map and said loudly with his hands behind his back: "Continue to attack! Don't stop! Don't give the separatists a chance to breathe!"

"Yes!" The staff officer responded.

The fleet of the Galactic Republic continued to press forward, and the fleet attacking the Argonev-class interstellar base at the north and south poles of the planet Eliadu also deliberately adjusted its direction with the planet's revolution position, always maintaining its ability to attack the interstellar base while also attacking the interstellar base. Cut off the link between the Separatist fleet and the starbase.

The main fleets of the two sides continued to fight fiercely near the Eliadu satellite.

In fact, in this situation, the Fourth Civilization Fleet is slightly superior to the main fleet of the Republic, but what is really unstoppable is the huge number of fighter jets on the Republic's Jaeger-class battlecruisers!

In terms of the exchange of fire between the main battleships of the two sides, the Fourth Civilization has more than 130 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, as well as Cole-class battlecruisers, Martha-class heavy missile cruisers, and 10 Dunov-class battlecruisers. Even the Sowa-class aircraft carrier is equipped with a powerful main gun.

When the two sides first fought, the Republic Fleet suffered a big loss and was hit hard by the powerful frontal firepower of the Fourth Civilization Fleet.

Later, Sioster made adjustments in time, using fighter jet clusters as the core of the attack, constantly disrupting the formation deployment of the Fourth Civilization Fleet, and only then turned the tide of the battle.

Among the fleets of the Fourth Civilization, the Dreadnought-class, Martha-class, and Cole-class are all very typical artillery warships. Although there are anti-aircraft firepower, it is far from strong.

Therefore, their fleet has incorporated a large number of guard-class light air defense destroyers, and there are also two types of light frigates, the Spear-class and the Reckless-class, which are used to hunt and kill the opponent's fighter jets.

Coupled with the fact that the Viking fighter jets that have already started mass production are already firmly ahead of the V-19 Torrent fighter jets and ARC-170 heavy fighter jets in terms of performance, they have not been torn to pieces by the 20,000 fighter jets of the Republic Fleet.

But the battle situation is still very pessimistic, because the Republic's reinforcements continue, but the Fourth Civilization can't compete with the Republic in productivity at all.

Now the surrounding planets are also starting to operate at full capacity. After the planet Eriadu was occupied by Sullust Planet and Sossrob, they immediately started their factories at full capacity to provide supplies for the defense battle of Eriadu Planet. A lot of military supplies.

At the same time, the factory on the Eriadu satellite is also running rapidly. Now this small satellite has become the key to maintaining the entire galaxy because of the existence of the planetary shield.

The factories on the planet Eliadu are still operating, but the efficiency is much lower. On the one hand, it has just been occupied, and the people on the planet have also experienced several months of famine, killing and injuring billions of people. They don't have much thought about their work; Planet Du launched a bombing.

Although the approach of the Galactic Republic Fleet was similar to that of the Fourth Civilization Fleet at that time, they all tried to fire at the rated safe power, but the continuous attacks, coupled with the indiscriminate bombing of thousands of fighter jets, also made this ship The already devastated planet is even worse.

The current famine problem is temporarily relieved on the planet Eliadu, but the main reason for the relief is not the increase in food supply, nor the arrival of more support, but...

People who can be starved to death are almost starved to death.

The population of Eriadu planet reached 23 billion at its peak, but now, the population on the planet is less than 7 billion! The population has dropped by more than two-thirds!

At this moment, on the Eriadu satellite, a large number of orbital defense systems are constantly firing, and at the same time, countless Fourth Civilization ghost fighters, vulture robot fighters, hyena robot bombers, and Viking fighters are also in the planet's major hangars and warplanes. Land on the spaceport, receive maintenance, rotate pilots, and then continue to take off for combat.

The Sowa-class aircraft carrier is located at the back of the fleet formation. Because of the existence of the Eliadu satellite, they do not need to take on the work of taking off and maintaining fighter jets. Therefore, they are full-time here for fighter combat coordination and command, and serve as a temporary transfer The role of the severely damaged fighter can be dealt with in the first time.

The same is true for the three Rookie Hook-class battleships, which take on the same responsibilities as the Sowa-class aircraft carrier. And the giant ships converted from these three cargo ships have another function, which is to provide supplies for the fleet.

Because it is a home defense operation, Martha-class heavy missile cruisers, Javelin-class missile frigates, and Viking fighters, which have huge logistical requirements, are now throwing out their own missiles as if they don't want money.

That's right, a splash, not a launch!

The Fourth Civilization Fleet is also doing their best to hold the front line. They will fire thousands or even tens of thousands of missiles in one salvo!

"General! The separatist fleet has begun to adjust its formation!" The staff officer came to Admiral Sioste and reported.

"Is it to cooperate with the reinforcements?" Admiral Sioster touched his beard and said, "The opponent's Dunov-class battlecruiser should be about to start charging again, right?"

"Yes, general. According to calculations, the Separatist Dunov-class battlecruiser will recharge in 5 minutes. At that time, the overall shield strength of the Separatist fleet will increase again." The staff officer said.

"Hmph! The Separatists know how to do these things, and make their fleet look like a tortoise shell." Xiost slammed the table.
