The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

787. Orbital Airborne (Part 2)

The lickers hidden in the dark have become the biggest trouble for the Republic Army. These silent hunters can appear from almost any place, and then suddenly jump out to attack.

While the lickers' claws couldn't pierce the battle armor of a Republic clone trooper, they were capable of knocking the soldier to the ground and attacking the weak spots along the seams.

Moreover, there are not only clone troopers stationed in Fermos City, but also a large number of local garrison forces from the planet Terminus!

If the clone troopers can form a small team to resist on the spot in the face of the orbital airborne and the lickers in the dark, these local defense forces are completely side effects.

They were panicked in the face of the orbital drop and didn't know what to do. It is common to see a group of hundreds of soldiers not even resisting after a raid spaceship smashes down, and scatter like birds and beasts with a loud shout.

At this moment, less than an hour after the start of the orbital airborne operation, the Army of the Fourth Civilization has already controlled more than one-third of the city, and the area of ​​control is still increasing rapidly.

The Army of the Republic couldn't even find a way to retreat!

This is the power of Orbital Airborne!

If the 6,000 elite of the Fourth Legion and more than 2,000 Injory Avenger 101s that were put into the battlefield were placed on the frontal battlefield, such progress would be absolutely impossible.

Because the clone army had already deployed deep defenses in the western suburbs of Fermos City, where the Fourth Civilization Army was advancing. In addition to digging some trenches with robots, they also used a large number of sandbags to surround the buildings to form a large number of firepower points.

By the way, when the number of portable laser fences is insufficient, the Republic Army will still use sandbags as a cover in large quantities. Among all the materials that are readily available, sand is still the best material for cushioning and cooling, and it also has a good effect on shooting from blaster rifles.

And not only the clone army of the Galactic Republic brought a large number of AT-TE walkers and AV-7 self-propelled artillery, even the local garrison of the planet Terminus was also equipped with a large number of artillery and mortars-produced by Santa Claus.

That's right, Yuri-Olov, the name of Santa Claus, can be said to be like a donkey in the black market of the Milky Way. It's not because of the size of his arms business, but another characteristic.

While other arms dealers are still mainly smuggling things like blaster rifles, grenades, or small spaceships, Yuri-Olov has a soft spot for those heavy fire weapons.

Howitzers, Mortars, Bazookas and even Rocket Launchers!

Although these things are very ancient gunpowder weapons, they do not affect their power.

Anyway, when a 155 grenade falls, it doesn't care whether you are a German SS or a clone of the Communist Party of China, it treats everyone equally and all beings are equal.

The contraband among these contrabands is naturally strictly controlled by the Galactic Republic, but now that the war has broken out, no one cares about them.

Yuri-Olov's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he even opened his own black factory in some places, specializing in the production of various artillery grenades.

The planet Terminus is one of Yuri-Olov's major customers.

Under such a defense, if the Fourth Civilization Army wants to advance head-on, it will inevitably face this frenzied long-range firepower. Even if they broke through the defense line in the western suburbs, the soldiers of the Republic had already built countless firepower points and lines of defense in the city.

Such a line of defense is highly recognized by even a famous general like Wilhuff Tarkin. He believes that it will take at least a year for these separatist troops to capture the city of Fermos.

The premise is that they have the lives of so many soldiers to fill this battlefield like a meat grinder.

Coupled with the anxiety on the space battlefield, now on the planet Terminus, it is basically a lone army on the planet Dawn to fight against the 18th Army of the Galactic Republic, which is constantly being supported. The strength of the two sides is clear at a glance.

The mainstream media of the Galactic Republic are already exaggerating the victory of the Battle of Terminus. They have spared no effort in publicity, racking their brains to come up with various eye-catching headlines.

【Shock! Governor Tarkin is lying on the hospital bed, and the merit comes from heaven! 】

[The 19th Army's revenge was avenged, only because of this person's words! 】

[The well-known expert Chen Baida reasoned angrily, and concluded that Li Xingqiu would not be able to survive next week! 】

[Tracing the road to victory, Speaker Palpatine actually started preparations 10 years ago! 】

[A breakdown of Governor Takin's biggest mistake was actually overestimating Star Dawn! 】

[Who made the widow of Suramar, governor of the 19th Army, cry bitterly? Shaqima said that she would not marry unless she was Takin! 】

[Professor surnamed Yang from a medical laboratory said that Tang Xiao, the governor of Lixing Planet, suffers from war addiction. After capturing him alive, he can get a 20% discount for electrotherapy. 】

In such a warm atmosphere, all the people of the Galactic Republic who are concerned about the war are waiting for when this inevitable victory will appear.

Correspondingly, the Confederation of Independent Galaxies is extremely pessimistic about this. Earl Dooku even gave instructions, telling Tang Xiao, who had just visited the second planet of Lassex, that if necessary, Planet Dawn could shrink the battle line, even if it is acceptable to give up the former headquarters of the 19th Army, Planet Harvin.

He also made a strong promise that once General Grievous' battle on Bosavi was over, he would personally lead the fleet to besiege the 18th Army and help Dawn Planet get out of trouble.

Everyone in the entire galaxy knows that the Dawn Star cannot be delayed, and everyone knows that the Dawn Star cannot be solved quickly.

So the result is very clear—Dawn Star will definitely lose.

But now, with Tang Xiao's full support, Matt Horner told everyone with two life-and-death bets in space and on the ground...

In this battle, our fourth civilization...

There is no doubt that we will win! !

Countless raid spaceships fell from the sky like a rain of fire, the hatches opened, and the angry soldiers of the Fourth Legion and the bloodthirsty Injory Avengers directly attacked the unprepared Republic army!

The AV-7 self-propelled artillery position was destroyed, the quadruple-mounted blaster cannon anti-aircraft position was burning, and the wreckage of the AT-TE walker was billowing with thick smoke.

Under the orbital airborne tactics, there is no such thing as a rear area on the entire battlefield, and those tightly protected artillery positions and anti-aircraft firepower points were destroyed one by one.

The trenches were useless, the carefully arranged cross-fire was useless, and the strategic reserve team became a front-line force in an instant!

Almost everywhere is burning, and almost everywhere is fighting. There is no such thing as a front on the entire battlefield, and there are only fighting and hand-to-hand combat!

On the front, the Army of the Fourth Civilization also launched a general offensive across the board!

The Army of the Republic is no longer organized, but they are!

The Republic Army doesn't have long-range fire support, but they do!

They will not give the Republic Army time to deal with the orbital airborne troops, but launched an attack when they are at their most chaotic and weakest!

If we say that the most powerful clone troopers of the Republic are their physical fitness and tactical quality, so even in the face of ten times the number of robots, they can calmly face them.

But now, the tactical quality of the soldiers of the Fourth Legion is no less than them, and the physical quality of the Injoli is directly crushed!

After being airborne through orbit, the clone troopers had to face the Injoli Avengers who were so huge that they were not even afraid of blaster rifle fire.

They won't stand a chance...
