1000. Decisive Battle Eriadu (1)
Eriadu satellite, captured!!
As the orbital defense system on the satellite began to fire at Republic fleet, the battle for Eriadu system finally came to the real core battle!
Eriadu!
Without any pause, Sefrans-Tann led the fleet in an offensive formation to pursue and attack the 18th Army fleet of Wilhuff-Tarkin!
Such opportunities are rare, because Wilhuff-Tarkin is also a strong opponent, and he rarely lets his fleet reveal flaws.
And now is the best opportunity!
Because Tarkin had misjudged the time when the satellite would fall, and thus allowed his fleet to advance too close to the satellite orbit. After Eriadu satellite surrendered, 18th Army's fleet was directly exposed to the firepower of Fourth Civilization fleet.
Every time the 50-meter-caliber Hypermatter Railgun gun on the bow of the Kohl-class Battlecruiser ship is launched, it will bring an extremely dazzling beam of light, and with the devastating impact, it will completely tear apart the retreating Galactic Republic battle array in front!
Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser also deployed the heavy Turbolaser cannon and kept firing!
Republic fleet continued to retreat, and after paying a heavy price in the destruction of 7 Hunter Class Battlecruiser and more than 30 small and medium-sized warships, it finally returned to the vicinity of the heavily armed space station Eriadu in high orbit.
This is already their last line of defense. If they retreat further, they will reach the atmosphere of Eriadu!
Sefrans-Tann's offensive did not stop at all. She had no intention of reorganizing the fleet, but continued to launch attacks.
It's just that under her superb command art, Fourth Civilization's fleet is indeed making adjustments.
First, all damaged fighter jets were withdrawn from Sova-class Carrier and sent to Eriadu satellite by transport ships for repairs in factories on the ground with more complete facilities.
All wounded soldiers were also transferred to satellite hospitals to receive better treatment.
The occupation of Eriadu satellite was a decisive result for Fourth Civilization's attacking army. This means that they can put most of their logistical supply and maintenance work on the satellite.
There are complete factory facilities on the satellite, which are much more complete than those on the battleship;
Being down-to-earth on the satellite is of great significance to the physical and psychological recovery of wounded soldiers, and their morale is also improved;
The storage space on the satellite is almost unlimited, so there is no need to fill every corner of the battleship with supplies;
There are large enough airports and spaceports on the satellite to better support the takeoff and landing of fighter formations;
Fixed defense systems on satellites can also support their battles...
And the two Dawn's Radiance-class motherships that were previously deployed near Galaxy No. 5, Gas Giant Planet Talastra, also followed the fleet to the vicinity of Eriadu satellite, and directly entered the satellite synchronous orbit to support the operations of the entire fleet.
This series of combat deployments were completed by Sefrans-Tann without weakening the frontal offensive!
The 18th Army fleet led by Wilhuff-Tarkin was under strong pressure from beginning to end!
20 hours later, as Fourth Civilization fleet and the army completed their redeployment on Eriadu satellite, the forces of both sides now had only one last thing left - a head-on decisive battle!
All the Fourth Civilization warships pressed forward and attacked Eriadu with almost full firepower!
After repelling the 18th Army fleet, Fourth Civilization fleet also began to bomb Planetary Shield of Eriadu. Ogrov Torpedo Cruiser, fully loaded with super-large-yield Proton Torpedo, launched a non-stop attack on Planetary Shield!
Explosions continued to explode on Planetary Shield, and the proton cloud formed a ball of light blue energy light. Viewed from the surface of the planet, it looks like there are countless bright stars in the sky.
With the residual power of occupying the satellite, Fourth Civilization fleet has already laid siege to Eriadu!
It was only then that Wilhuff-Tarkin realized something was wrong. He felt that Separatist fleet seemed to be very 'lasting' this time. Even though they had been fighting for more than 30 hours, their fleet was still strong!
"Scan the energy readings of the Separatists battleship immediately! Compare it with before the war!" Wilhuff-Tarkin, who was commanding Eriadu, ordered loudly.
The sensor control department immediately took action to scan and calculate all Separatists warships.
After a while, an engineer came over and said, "We conducted scanning calculations based on Separatists, including 30 Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser and 10 Kohl-class Battlecruiser... Based on the attacks so far, Based on the hit records and hit records, and calculating the time and capacity of their shield recirculation based on the battleship data and intelligence we have, we can determine that the total shield value of these battleships exceeds the expected total by 41%. Your concerns are correct, Your Excellency Governor."
Tarkin's eyes were extremely sinister, "I knew it! Separatists's battleship seems to be more difficult to destroy than normal this time! Could it be that they used a new model of Deflector Shield?"
"Judging from the frequency response, it's unlikely. Their shield capacitor should be constantly being charged from the outside," the engineer said.
"How difficult is this technical difficulty?" Tarkin frowned.
"At least it's something we can't do now, because this is equivalent to precise wireless energy transmission with an error of less than 1 micron, and the loss generated during the energy transmission is very small. This is how the Separatists warship should continue to replenish shield energy for those warships that are being hit by concentrated firepower," the engineer said.
"If this is the case, then won't we never be able to defeat their battleships?!" Tarkin said in a deep voice.
"This energy replenishment should have an upper limit, but it is indeed very troublesome. Because it means that Separatists can very flexibly restore the shield of each warship that is under concentrated attack. This will greatly waste the firepower output of our warships." The engineer answered.
"No wonder! Moreover, this method is very restrained for high-frequency and low-power fighter swarm attacks! If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before our fleet is defeated!" Tarkin punched the table hard.
In the past two days, this table has been hammered many times by him.
"Actually, we also scanned even worse things." The engineer seemed to think Tarkin was not angry enough, and added another sentence.
"Say!" Tarkin's anger was about to overflow.
"In Separatist fleet, there seems to be a strange resonance between the engines of those battleships."
