The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1314. Prelude to Landing

The arrival of reinforcements from the Confederacy of Independent Systems, especially the 5 behemoth-class battlecruisers, gave the Republic's fleet greater deterrence.

Because compared to the hypermaterial electromagnetic guns of the Cole-class battlecruisers, the Yamato guns of the Behemoth-class battlecruisers are slightly less powerful, but they charge faster, have faster bullet speeds, and are more difficult to defend.

With such an elite battleship formation as an assault force, Admiral Trench's tactical space will be even wider.

After the five Rukrihook-class battleships arrived, they immediately flew towards the direction of the planet Semirs, and under the cover of the Agniev-class interstellar base, the core ship in the center of the battleships began to separate, and then landed on the surface of the planet. , the hatch opened, and hundreds of M-808 Scorpion tanks lined up in two rows and drove out of the cabin.

These Scorpio tanks are the reinforcements given by the Fourth Civilization, and from the Confederation of Independent Galaxies, they provide a large number of B-1 battle robots and B-2 super battle robots.

In view of the unique physical conditions of the Semiers and the combat methods of the Galactic Republic, the Fourth Civilization mainly provided this kind of fast and powerful assault unit, the Scorpion Tank.

While the Rukrihook-class battleship was loading and unloading reinforcements, Admiral Davis, the commander of the Republic Fleet, mobilized the fleet to launch several raids. However, Ulu-Ulix commanded the five Behemoth-class battlecruisers. Covering these huge spacecraft, at the same time the fire support provided by the Agonev-class interstellar base also discouraged the Republic Fleet.

Three days later, on March 3, the Galactic Republic fleet finally completed the siege of the planet Semiles.

With 60 Jaeger-class battlecruisers as the core, cooperate with other types of small and medium-sized warships including Aquitens-class light cruisers, Karak-class light cruisers, DP-20 gunboats, and CR-90 frigates, as well as up to A cluster of 18,000 fighter jets and bombers of various types surrounded the planet Semiles along the equator.

Admiral Trench divided the fleet into 5 formations, constantly launching attacks to break the blockade of the Republic's fleet, but Admiral Davis did not mess up at all, giving full play to the characteristics of the Republic's powerful fighter formation. He will concentrate local superior forces to launch an attack, and he will first assemble a huge formation of thousands of fighter jets to intercept and hold back the Trench fleet, and then mobilize warships from other directions to come for reinforcements.

And where the separatist fleet could not take care of, the warships of the Republic finally launched a bombardment on the planetary shield of the planet Semiles!

The Jaeger-class battlecruiser leaned forward, and all eight twin-mounted heavy-duty turbolaser guns fired salvos in turn. The powerful turbolaser guns exploded on the planetary shield, bursting out countless scorching flames.

On the surface of the planet, the commoners of the Semiers hugged their children tightly, looking at the fire in the sky that even dispelled the night with trepidation.

But even if he was so passive, Admiral Trench still ordered Ulu-Ulix's formation of 1 Shenyi-class destroyer and 5 Behemoth-class battlecruisers to hide near the Argonev-class interstellar base as his own. backhand strength.

As for the five Rookie Hook-class battleships, after unloading all the ground equipment, they returned to the orbit of the planet, serving as take-off and landing platforms for fighter jets, and a transfer platform for those repairing engineering ships.

This is also the new role played by the Rookiehook-class battleship in the construction plan of the new generation fleet of the Federation of Independent Galaxy.

Their huge warehouses and ring-shaped hulls that are very convenient for spaceships to take off and land have become the most perfect logistics battleships-the huge warehouses can easily carry a large amount of equipment and materials for maintenance, such as replacement armor plates and so on. The ring-shaped hull of the battleship can take off and land larger engineering ships and transport ships.

Under such a new role, the powerful but scattered firepower of the Ruklihook-class battleship that was originally criticized has now become an advantage. Because they don't need them to carry out assaults, they only need to survive long enough on the battlefield to make their warships exert stronger combat effectiveness.

As a result, Admiral Trench faced strong pressure from the Fourth Army of the Galactic Republic. He finally changed his mind, and with five Rucrehook-class battleships as the core, plus the Agniev-class interstellar base, the Six fulcrums have been established in the outer orbit of Mills planet.

Among them, the Agniev-class interstellar base kept itself above the capital of the planet Semirs after slowly moving its position, becoming the largest barrier in the capital area. Because of the powerful firepower and protection capabilities of the interstellar base, the Republic Fleet would never dare to approach here.

The other five Rookie Hook-class battleships flew over several of the most important industrial areas and space ports on the planet, and at the same time, under the cover of the fleet in the hands of Admiral Trench, they also formed a fulcrum. And some orbital space stations are also moved to the vicinity of the fulcrum to prevent surprise attacks by the Republic Fleet.

A steady stream of supplies from the planet are sent to those Rukrihook-class battleships and orbital space stations, and they are constantly repairing those battleships damaged in battle and providing necessary support.

The establishment of the 6 fulcrums also shows Admiral Trench's strategic conception - that is to fight a protracted war relying on the planet Semiles!

After all, Planet Semiles is deep in the hinterland of the Confederation of Independent Galaxy control area. Although your Galactic Republic can reach here from a seasonal hyperspace channel, the support the Republic receives is definitely not as strong as Planet Semiles.

As long as the battle continues, only the Republic will lose!

Admiral Davis is also well aware of this, but he is also not panicked at all and has a well-thought-out plan. They also have plans for this.

On March 4th, an emergency report from the border post of the Confederation of Independent Galaxy——

The Third Squadron of the Fourth Army of the Galactic Republic stationed in the Kona galaxy left the berth and entered the hyperspace channel.

In the afternoon of the same day, following the reconnaissance of the Republic's hyperspace fluctuations from the Samirs galaxy, the independent galaxy confederation reconnaissance fleet that finally found the Ulta galaxy was suddenly attacked by the third squadron in the Ulta galaxy, and the entire army was wiped out.

But before it was destroyed, the reconnaissance fleet also sent back information-in the formation of the third squadron, there were at least 10 Cheer-class assault landing ships and more than 40 transport ships!

This information combined with the fact that the main fleet of the Fourth Army of the Republic started orbital bombing on the planet Semiles a few days in advance to attack the planetary shield, it is not difficult to know their target.

The Galactic Republic will launch a forced landing on the planet Semiles!

The current government of Planet Semirs has also been prepared for a long time. They have recruited 50 million reserve soldiers to enter active duty, and they have entered the barracks of the major military regions to start intensive training, and they are always ready to deal with landing operations.
