998. Satellite Fall (Part 1)
Eriadu satellite, over an hour ago.
The Karina Crater battle has completely collapsed. Galactic Republic can no longer support its defense line. The energy control center built on the ridge of the crater is about to fall. The nearest Separatists military force is less than one kilometer away!
In order to prevent Separatists from using the power generation facilities here to cause huge damage after occupying the control center, Commander adopted an emergency shutdown strategy, and all generating units stopped working almost simultaneously.
At the same time, Eriadu satellite's Planetary Shield Generator peripheral defense line instantly fell into darkness! The weapon system is offline, the enemy tracking system is offline, the sensors are offline, and the shield barrier is offline!
But just 2 minutes later, the backup power supply was activated and the basic power supply began to be restored. As the backup generators gradually began to operate and the power supply became higher and higher, various systems began to restart one after another. It is estimated that it will take an hour for the backup power supply to reach maximum power.
At the same time, the garrison on the outer defense line of the shield generator also immediately entered combat status according to regulations and entered combat positions. All searchlights and sensors with reserve power were moved to the outermost edge of the defense line, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.
However, at this moment, their defense line had been attacked!
Without any warning, without any detection, without any warning, they were attacked like this!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Clear gunshots kept ringing out from the darkness, the searchlights and sensor antennas on the defense line were constantly destroyed by sniper rifles, and in the darkness, there seemed to be countless vague figures launching attacks!
Moreover, the army that launched the attack was just like Ghost, its movements were erratic, and it was never possible to grasp their true position.
But the live sniper bullets that are constantly shot out of the darkness are real!
The corpses of his comrades whose heads were shot by bullets are real!
"There is an attack! Enemy attack!"
"Quickly, point..." Poof! The sound of your head exploding.
"Where are they? I can't see them at all!"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Soldiers kept being killed, but they didn't even see where the enemy was!
A Galactic Republic soldier grabbed the handle of the set-up E-WEB heavy blaster machine gun and fired wildly into the darkness, "Whoaaahhh!! Go to hell! Go to hell!!!"
At this time, a strange language came from behind him. He turned around suddenly, but he only saw the scattered corpses of his and other heavy machine gun team members lying behind him!
Suddenly, a big cold hand grabbed the top of his head and slowly turned his head around.
This Galactic Republic soldier only saw that he was a thin race, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a tattered and weathered cloak. The sniper rifle in his hand was wrapped in an oil-soaked dark green cloth. What was even more terrifying was that on his face, he wore a ferocious animal bone mask! The position of the eyes was marked with two traces of blood.
Caladanian!
Experts in guerrilla warfare and surprise warfare!
Ling Liang brought 30,000 Caladanian! And these people are all veterans who participated in the brutal war with Yamrii that ended eight years ago and lasted for decades!
After that war and the economic sanctions that followed Galactic Republic, Caladan Planet had already collapsed economically, although Fourth Civilization helped them carry out a series of reconstruction work. However, Caladan Planet's destruction was too complete, and it was impossible for Tang Xiao to treat Caladanian as his great-grandfather and give him whatever he asked for, so he hired these Caladanian veterans to join the army, giving them the opportunity to earn subsidies, and Caladan Planet who lost their labor force would also receive high compensation.
Of course, most of these compensations will return to Fourth Civilization through the development of those reconstruction projects, but after such a turn, Caladan Planet's economy is finally running.
These Caladanian had already been broken into pieces and lurking nearby at the beginning of the war. They were extremely tough both physically and mentally, and even lurked for three days without eating or drinking!
When they launched the attack, Galactic Republic's defenders were so panicked.
Because they have no idea where the enemy comes from!
In fact... the enemy is right under their feet.
After a power outage in the Karina Crater direction, although it is quick to start the backup power supply, the backup power supply also needs to warm up, and it takes an hour to reach the maximum power generation.
Taking advantage of the blank period when this line of defense did not have those heavy defensive weapons, Caladanian launched a surprise attack!
The outer defense line was quickly breached, and the Galactic Republic defenders began to retreat toward the second and third lines of defense in the rear, preparing to reorganize their defense organization.
However, now that the attack has begun, how could it be just like this!
Less than 20 minutes after the war started, the Galactic Republic defenders were horrified to find that all communications had been cut off!
The Galactic Republic soldiers who lost their unified command could only stay in their original positions and organize defense on the spot, but in this way, they could not fully utilize the depth of their positions.
Ten minutes later, the communication was restored, but there was no message from the headquarters, only an order for them to continue to shrink the defense line.
At this moment, the 100,000 troops still guarding the defense line did not realize what this communication interruption meant.
They had no way of knowing that in the command center next to Planetary Shield Generator, there was already an M-6 executioner pistol, pressed against Commander's head!
In the darkness where the lighting had just been turned off, a mysterious force had already taken control of the entire command center within 10 minutes.
In the darkness, those mysterious soldiers were talking in an unfamiliar and fast-speaking language. Then, Galactic Basic, who spoke at the same fast speed, said, "Start Planetary Shield to the lowest altitude."
Salarian special forces!
"... Start Planetary Shield, lowest altitude." Commander looked pale and gave the order.
Eriadu satellite is equipped with a relatively cheap two-way shield, which means that after the shield is deployed, you cannot get out or get in. Therefore, when the orbital defense system on the planet fires, the shield in the corresponding direction needs to be temporarily closed.
At the same time, in order to facilitate handling of different situations, Planetary Shield can also be opened at different heights. The lowest altitude is 5,000 meters above the ground. If it is any lower, it will affect the surface of the planet. After all, Planetary Shield is also a thing that contains extremely powerful energy.
Then, Salarian coldly issued a startling command to Commander, "Requesting all fighter units on the planet to take off for reinforcements."
Commander struggled violently and yelled loudly, "Impossible!! This is impossible! Never! Kill me, kill me!!"
But this Salarian special forces man was not angry. Another soldier on the side immediately grabbed the communications soldier and shot a staff officer in the head in front of him!
The communication soldier was almost scared to death. He immediately turned on the communication device and sent out the order.
"No! Stop! You can't do this! You should know what this means!! Stop! Stop!!" Republic commander yelled, but to no avail.
The signal corps has already sent out the order.
Soon, air force bases all over the satellite took off fighter jets to prepare for reinforcements.
At this moment, disaster strikes!
