The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2377, The Empire Strikes Back (Part 3)

Ten Cheering-class assault landing ships and hundreds of transport ships were already ready. Under the escort of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, they began to break into the already very thin atmosphere of the planet Yago-Dur. Hundreds of thousands of Imperial stormtroopers and clone soldiers left the spacecraft and rushed into the underground entrance that had been discovered.

Almost immediately, dense gunshots rang out in those narrow underground passages!

The Given people had already been on high alert underground on the planet. Tens of millions of B-1 combat robots were always ready and guarded all the main underground passages.

In that narrow passage, the armored forces had no way to play, and heavy firepower was useless. Even if the Imperial army planned to use flamethrowers to advance, they finally found that in the face of the sea of ​​fire, high temperature and vacuum created by the flamethrowers, the opponent's B-1 combat robots were the ones who were like fish in water.

In such a narrow terrain, rocket launchers became the most useful weapon, and both sides were bombarding with rocket launchers. Often, when they find something ahead, they first fire dozens of rockets, and then the infantry slowly advances.

But the combat efficiency of this is imaginable.

On the first day after launching the landing operation, not even a single Imperial Stormtrooper could touch the edge of any Given city!

This situation is simply despairing, because the Imperial Army has to face the most traditional front-line combat mode. That is, countless soldiers advance synchronously along a whole front, starting from the border, and step by step approaching the core of the opponent.

In fact, after entering the interstellar era, this kind of front-line mode of war has been eliminated. Because as long as the control of the outer orbit of the planet is mastered, the army can directly launch a landing in the core of the opponent and directly attack the opponent's capital or military base.

Even if the anti-aircraft firepower on the capital and military base is too strong to land directly, at least a landing position can be established hundreds of kilometers away, and then continue to fight, which is no more than one or two hundred kilometers at most.

But now the Imperial Army is facing the need to first break through the underground passage, enter the underground, find the direction in the completely unknown underground city group, and then advance step by step.

I'm afraid it will take several years to capture the capital of Yago-Dur!

Darth Vader ordered a landing operation, and asked his engineering scientists to immediately study how to blow up the entire Yago-Dur planet!

That's right, since orbital bombing from the outside to the inside with warships doesn't work, then after entering the underground of the planet, deploy powerful super bombs to completely blow the planet into pieces from the inside out!

Obviously, the defenders of the Givens are also on guard against this, so countless B-1 combat robots frantically launched a counterattack against the Imperial Army, and must completely block the Imperial Army from the surface of the planet.

...

At the same time, Severance Tann was finally able to launch an attack on Fangduo on the fifth day after the outbreak of the Yago-Dur planet battle!

The Dawn Kingdom fleet, which had been ready for a long time, rushed towards the outer defense facilities of Fangduo planet like a pack of wolves!

The number of Fangduo planet's defense fleet is not large, and Darth Vader has taken almost all of the warships out. He did not pile up all the fleets in the Yago-Dur system, but established a huge front-line attack network in a total of 9 star systems, including Mechis III, Kiffu, and Thyferra.

These planets include logistics support, hospitals, maintenance, ammunition supply, reserve assembly and other functions. Only by performing their duties can they support such a super fleet consisting of more than 2,100 battleships and more than 13,000 small and medium-sized warships.

Therefore, these fleets that have performed their duties in various star systems and are operating in an orderly manner as part of this offensive are unlikely to return to defend Fangduo.

Darth Vader could not make such a decision.

Fangduo's defense fleet was quickly defeated, and Severance Tann began to bombard the surrounding armed space stations, while the Death Star artillery was still tirelessly bombarding Fangduo's planetary shield.

In the early morning of October 10, Severance-Tan's Second Task Force blasted a hole in the defense facilities of the planet Fangduo. All seven Golan-class armed space stations in this direction were destroyed. Then, she ordered all warships to enter the planet's synchronous orbit, firing at full power, and conducting orbital bombing!

The planetary shield of Fangduo had long been riddled with holes and overwhelmed, and had been bombarded continuously by the Death Star cannon for almost two months. Now it was bombarded by Severance-Tan's main fleet, and it was completely overloaded. Even in space, several huge fire points could be seen, which were the locations of the shield capacitors of the planetary shield.

The planetary shield was broken!

Almost without any pause, Severance-Tan immediately began to deploy ground troops for landing operations!

Unlike the Galactic Empire, which has always used the Cheering Class assault landing ship to forcefully break through the defense line for landing, the landing operations of the Kingdom of Dawn are of another style.

Only five Kesov-class battlecruisers, which looked like coal ships, were seen breaking into planet-synchronous orbit under the protection of other battleships. Then, thousands of orbital airborne missiles were launched downward from the landing bays on both sides of the battleship. cabin!

These orbital airborne capsules barely slowed down at all and hit the ground directly like missiles! In the surrounding area, hundreds of ghost fighters have also broken through the planet's air defense network and turned on stealth mode to carry out precise bombing of ground air defense positions.

Countless orbital drop cabins crashed to the ground, and the mini-bombs on the hatches exploded. The drop cabins instantly disintegrated, and huge figures roared out.

Inchori Avenger Type 103!

This kind of Inchori modified with T virus has now become the vanguard of the landing operations in the Kingdom of Dawn. Whenever a landing is launched, these biological weapons are on the front line, breaking up the ground guards and creating conditions for subsequent landings.

After the Inchori Avenger launched the first wave of landing attacks, five other Kesov-class battlecruisers also began to launch the second wave of orbital drop pods. These orbital drop pods are relatively slower, larger, can accommodate more soldiers, and are equipped with deflector shields.

And at this moment, five GA-TL1 Longsword flying fortresses also took off from the Sova-class aircraft carrier. This huge bomber began to carry out further attacks on ground targets, while covering the landing of the second wave of orbital drop pods.

Inside the second wave of orbital drop pods are soldiers from the Fourth Legion!

These extremely elite soldiers were different from the Incholi Avengers who only knew how to rush randomly. They systematically began to build ground landing sites to create conditions for the landing of transport ships.

Everything is so orderly.

On the night of October 10th, Galaxy Standard Time, more than 90,000 Dawn Kingdom Army troops landed on Fangduo Planet and began their attack under the cover of fighter jets.

However, this time, Admiral Severance Tann also faced the same problem as Darth Vader——

Fangduo Planet is also a fortress planet! !

Although the solid defensive forms of the Yago-Dur planet and the Fondo planet are different, the results are the same. Severance Tann found that it was also difficult for her to occupy Fangduo planets in a short period of time!
