The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

2392, The End of the Battle (Part 2)

"In that case, let's prepare to start the detonation. The fleet is ready to retreat." Darth Vader said, "Notify the ground troops that they only have three days to retreat. During this period, all combat tasks will be handed over to the robot troops."

"Yes! Execute the retreat order immediately!" The staff officer stood at attention and saluted, responding loudly. There was a clear sense of relief in his voice.

During this period, the landing on the planet Yago-Dur was too difficult, and it was simply difficult to take a step.

Even under Darth Vader's strict order that those who retreat would die, the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses and still only occupied three underground cities. For this, the Imperial Stormtroopers suffered heavy losses of more than 170,000 soldiers and more than 400,000 robot troops were damaged.

Now there are less than 150,000 Stormtroopers and about 300,000 robots left in the underground operations.

Since yesterday, Darth Vader asked them to continue the attack, but these troops generally suffered serious casualties, were under-staffed, and had almost no heavy armored units. The result of such a forced attack was predictable.

The staff officer even worried that if it continued like this, it would be difficult for the Imperial Army to maintain the existing results in the underground battlefield, and it would probably be pushed back by the Separatist Army.

Now Darth Vader finally issued an order to retreat. Although it might not be possible to withdraw all the ground troops in three days, at least for these officers, this tormented battle was finally over.

The order to retreat was issued quickly, but it was issued in batches to ensure the orderly progress of the retreat. A large number of transport planes began to transport combatants back to the fleet, and they abandoned medium-sized equipment including AT-AT walkers, and even abandoned those wounded who were not transported in time.

Because in such a retreat, Darth Vader needed to preserve the living force, not to talk about human rights and humanity, and let the wounded withdraw first.

No!

However, what the staff officer worried about did not happen. Up to now, the underground battle on Yago-Dur has been going on for nearly two months, and both sides have paid a heavy price. Therefore, even if the Given defense forces on Yago-Dur found that the imperial army was retreating, they had no spare energy to launch a counterattack.

The real counterattack was launched on the space battlefield. The First Task Force led by Ling Liang has been harassing Darth Vader's fleet, making it impossible for him to concentrate all his forces to bomb the planet. In addition, more than 100 main battleships and more than 400 small and medium-sized warships have been reinforced from the Dawn planet, which has expanded Ling Liang's forces and posed a greater threat.

Although it still cannot shake Darth Vader's main fleet, the existence of General Ling's First Task Force also forces Darth Vader to remain vigilant at all times, and to separate a part of the fleet and continuously launch attacks in an attempt to completely annihilate Ling Liang's fleet.

Ling Liang will never give him a chance to fight a decisive battle, and the two sides will maintain a cat-and-mouse situation. In this way, Yago-Dur can hold out for a longer time.

Compared to the Galactic Empire, which was blocked from receiving news, Ling Liang could get the latest battle situation of Fangduo Planet every day. She now understood that Fangduo City, the old capital of Fangduo Planet, had been captured, and the ground forces of the Kingdom of Dawn were approaching the new capital, Oredin City.

Then, this meant that General Severance Tann's main fleet would soon be able to free up its hands and attack Darth Vader's main fleet from front and back!

Ling Liang had already started the counterattack plan, and as long as Severance Tann notified her, she would immediately lead the fleet forward and try to delay Darth Vader's steps.

However, General Ling still underestimated Darth Vader's determination.

On January 25, an extremely terrifying explosion suddenly broke out inside the planet Yago-Dur! The explosion almost completely covered the three cities occupied by the Galactic Empire in the previous battle, and not only that, it also spread to further places!

The explosion immediately triggered a violent earthquake, and many supporting columns inside the planet were broken by the detonation of proton bombs!

Then, through the optical image, Ling Liang witnessed a very terrifying scene with her own eyes -

The planet Yago-Dur actually split open right in front of her! ! A huge fragment with a diameter of more than 2,000 kilometers was split off from the planet, and the planet was directly missing a big hole!

The interior of the planet at this moment was a complete disaster!

Not only the 100,000 Imperial Stormtroopers who did not have time to retreat, most of whom were wounded, but also all the more than 300,000 combat robots that were abandoned and left behind were all destroyed in the explosion.

Moreover, the explosion also affected more cities on the planet Yago-Dur, causing millions of casualties!

Ling Liang only felt a surge of hot blood rushing to her forehead at this moment, her eyes were bloodshot, and her anger almost made her lose control!

"Darth Vader! How dare you do this! How dare you do this!!!" Ling Liang roared loudly and punched the console fiercely, with blood dripping from his fist.

She wanted to launch an attack immediately, but looking at the Imperial Fleet that was on high alert, she suppressed her anger and ordered her First Task Force to remain on the defensive.

Because of this huge explosion, the communication on Yago-Dur was completely cut off, and the situation inside the planet was unknown. But from the cross-section of the planet in the sea of ​​fire, the situation is definitely not optimistic!

Soon, Bahr-Banak, a great mathematician from the Gwen people who was building his new home on the planet Losar, sent a communication. He witnessed the tragic situation on the planet Yago-Dur and was also angry and speechless.

Then, Bahr-Banak immediately led his team to start intensive calculations.

At night, Ling Liang finally got the news from General Severance Tann. Tann led the main force of the Second Combined Fleet to leave the planet Fangduo and would attack Darth Vader's logistics supply base on the planet Ghorman in the early morning of the next day.

But at this moment, Darth Vader's main fleet had already begun to retreat. Although Ling Liang pursued, it had little effect. She could only follow Darth Vader's fleet from a distance, constantly harassing them to ensure that they could never leave comfortably.

Then, Baher-Banack also gave his calculation results - based on the current observations, a preliminary estimate shows that the planet Yago-Dur will rotate faster due to the reduction of mass and the change of shape, and the time of a planetary day will be shortened by about one third.

Although the unique appearance of the Jiwen people and the solid underground city prevent them from dying on a large scale due to environmental changes, the planet will become uninhabitable.

The bigger problem is that the planet Yago-Dur will gradually change its current orbit, and the planet may be destroyed in 55 years. (End of this chapter)
