The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

2391. The end of the battle (Part 1)

10BBY, ​​January 19, Fangduo planet, the old capital Fangduo City.

This huge city has been besieged by the Kingdom of Dawn army for a month. Several Victory II-class Star Destroyers are suspended in the sky at all times, carrying out limited orbital bombardment of the city almost continuously.

At the same time, what was being bombed was the current capital of the planet Fondo, the city of Auridin.

However, because Fondo City has not yet been captured, the ground attack on Auridin City has not yet begun. At present, we are only conducting orbital bombing and fixed-point bombing by fighter formations to remove the city's anti-aircraft firepower and destroy exposed firepower points and military assembly areas.

However, Fangduo City can no longer support it.

As other areas of the planet fell successively, the entire southern direction of Fangduo City was also occupied. The ground troops of the Kingdom of Dawn could launch a frontal attack on Fangduo City without any hindrance.

Countless Veronica mutated monsters have rushed into Fondo City. These monsters are so terrifying and powerful that the people killed by them will soon turn into zombies and join them. Like other fronts, the defenders of the Galactic Empire had to use a large number of K-X security robots to fight.

However, as more and more industrial areas fall, the production of combat robots on Fangduo Planet has dropped sharply, and it has become difficult to assemble a powerful combat robot army.

On January 21, Fangduo City completely fell. Auridin, the capital of Fondo Planet, is completely exposed to the forces of the Kingdom of Dawn!

At this moment, in the underground command center of Auridin City, Octavian Grant, the governor of the 20th Army of the Galactic Empire, was ready for everything.

He put on the military uniform that he only wore when attending ceremonies, arranged his hair neatly, stood in front of the mirror, straightened his badge, and straightened the code tubes on both sides of the military uniform to ensure his appearance. After there were no problems, he turned around.

Behind him, dozens of senior officials of the 20th Army were already standing, all of them wearing formal uniforms.

The atmosphere at the scene was as stagnant as a dark cloud. Everyone was silent and their faces were full of serious, frustrated, desperate, determined and other emotions.

But without exception, they were all prepared...

Go to hell.

That's right, the fall of Fangduo Planet is already imminent, and with the loss of such an important planet, everyone involved in this battle will not be spared. They can only apologize with death, otherwise, the guilt of losing the battle will even affect their families.

In fact, the main officers and commanders of the 20th Army present had the richest combat experience with the Kingdom of Dawn. After all, ever since the Clone Wars broke out and the Dawn Planet's fleet defeated the Republic's 19th Army in a flash, their 20th Army began to confront the Dawn Planet's fleet on the Yago-Dur planet.

This is 12 years before and after!

In 12 years, the 20th Army and the Dawn Kingdom fought hundreds of large and small battles and armed conflicts on the Yago-Dur planet. Although they were never able to break through the Yago-Dur planet, the Kingdom of Dawn had to Keep a large fleet stationed here.

At the end of the Clone Wars, the Kingdom of Dawn was forced to switch from strategic offensive to all-out defense. One of the important reasons was the confrontation on the planet Yago-Dur.

But now, they have lost the planet Fondo.

Although the planet Tallaan, the capital of the 20th Army, is safe and sound, after losing the planet Fondo, there is no need for the 20th Army to exist.

"Your Majesty the Governor... I just confirmed from the front line that the defenders in Fondo City have completely lost contact. Now, the separatist forward troops are less than 30 kilometers away from Auridin City..." An officer came over and said solemnly said.

"Arm all the personnel, engineering robots, and security robots that can be armed. Let them enter the strongest building in the city. I ask them to resist to the end at every position and be loyal to the empire!" Octavian - Grant said decisively.

"yes!"

"This is the last battle in our lives. At least, don't embarrass yourselves." Octavian Grant added, "The separatists have used biological weapons on a large scale, so don't expect them to accept surrender. Who of us You don’t want to be a meal for those monsters, right? Then... let’s fight! I will always stand here, I am the last line of defense of Planet Fang, and I will never fall.”

"We will fight to the end!" the officer said firmly.

…

At the same time, in the outer space of the planet Yago-Dur, the flagship of the Empire's Death Squadron, the Executor-class super Star Destroyer, the Executor.

An officer quickly walked into the bridge and came to the middle of the bridge in front of the burly man in black armor and black cloak who looked like a demon. He made a military salute and said: "Your Majesty, the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition is Nine. The head snake has completely lost contact with the Fangduo planet, and the contact between us and the Fangduo planet's defenders has not been restored... It has been more than a week now, and the situation is not optimistic. "

Darth Vader glanced at him, waved his hand casually to signal him to retreat, then walked to the holographic battle star map and quietly looked at the intricate battle map.

"Update the combat reports of all frontline troops immediately." Darth Vader said coldly.

The combat staff standing aside immediately pressed the button and updated the data. At the same time, dozens of communications soldiers on the other side of the communication system were constantly sending letters asking about the situation of the frontline troops.

About 10 minutes later, the staff officer came over and said: "Your Majesty, we have deployed a total of 20 legions, totaling 180,000 people, in the underground caves of the Yago-Dur planet. In addition, there are 47 independent combat battalions, and robots There are 40 troops, including 4 legions, 12 combat battalions and 2 robot troops. Lost contact and unable to confirm the situation... According to reports from other troops, we suffered heavy losses during the offensive we launched yesterday. The troops were severely attrited, especially the lack of heavy armored vehicles. Now we only have the 1112th Corps left. One direction is still launching an offensive, while other directions have fully turned to the defensive.”

Darth Vader fell into silence again, and the scene was quiet. Only the heavy breathing coming from his respirator still struck the hearts of everyone present.

After a few minutes, Darth Vader asked: "If we detonate according to the existing control area, what will be the result?"

The combat staff officer said: "We have placed super-large-yield nuclear bombs in the occupied area, and proton bombs are also bound to the support pillars. If they are detonated simultaneously from the three cities we currently occupy, I think we can destroy Yago - A gap was opened on the planet Duer. But... it is still far from destroying the planet."
