1095. Nightfall Plan——The Fall of Eriadu (Part 1) (two-in-one chapter)
"The topic that the parliament just discussed is this." Palpatine said coldly, "Under my strong orders, Republic fleet is always approaching Eriadu system's Daka nel (Darkkn ell) galaxy retains a powerful fleet. Even General Grievous attacked Delon system, and Machinery Civilization Geth suddenly appeared to attack the Ord-Mantel galaxy."
He paused, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "In today's parliament, people like Bail-Organa, Padmé-Amidala tried to pass a bill to save civilians.. They hope to reach an agreement with Separatists and launch civilian rescue activities immediately after the hyperspace storm ends... Hahaha, how naive! The moment the hyperspace storm subsides, only powerful battleships can enter Eriadu system!"
"It was Separatists, Sefrans-Tann, and Tang Xiao that caused the death of most civilians. Why should Galactic Republic pay for Separatists's mistake?" Tarkin sneered.
"Yes, I told them in parliament, do they want to see that when Separatists heavily armed warships are pouring into Eriadu system, what we send in are grain ships?" Palpatine said, "Those guys who are still advocating for peace are really stupid! Hahahaha... Don't worry, my friend, you will escape from Eriadu system."
"I never worry about your promises, Mr. Speaker. What I care about is how to get back everything I lost in Eriadu!" Wilhuff-Tarkin said viciously.
"This day won't be long... not... hahahaha! Everything is in my plan!" Palpatine laughed and closed the communication.
21BBY, July 31st.
After leaving more than 500,000 troops on the periphery to resist reinforcements coming from all directions, Fourth Civilization Army gathered more than 700,000 troops and launched an attack on the Eriadu capital Eri-Xiang City from five directions.
Suddenly the sound of cannons rumbled and the sound of killing shook the sky! At least 10 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers flew over the city and launched continuous bombings on the city!
This huge city, which was built into a fortress by Wilhuff-Tarkin, also exploded with extremely powerful fighting power.
Countless anti-aircraft fires, missiles and even heavy artillery rose above the city's buildings, attacking the Fourth Civilization fighters and warships in the sky with powerful firepower.
At the same time, at least 2 million troops were already waiting in the city. These troops are the most elite troops, not only the well-trained and battle-hardened veterans accumulated from the beginning of the war until now, but also all the more than 20,000 Clone Trooper on the planet.
These elites will never simply back down!
Because even their leader, Governor 18th Army Wilhuff-Tarkin, is fighting alongside them in the city!
... At least that's what they think.
In this super city that once had a total population of more than 300 million and spanned more than 150 kilometers, a brutal street battle finally began.
Fourth Civilization's army is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, but they have taken advantage of their powerful firepower. No matter what is ahead, as long as there is a slight movement, it will be covered by a burst of artillery fire.
Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser is their first fire preparation. Dreadnought-class will carry out coverage bombing based on predetermined buildings that are likely to have fire points, and continue to conduct all-round artillery strikes on all areas where there may be movement.
Vulture droid fighter covers Hyena-class Droid Bombers and cruises over the city almost all day long. As long as it finds a moving target on the ground, it will swoop down and drop powerful bombs and rockets from the sky like locusts.
The artillery position composed of Siege Tank is stationed on the high ground outside the city. They will not fire at will, but will conduct precise bombing according to the artillery requests of the army soldiers entering the city.
And if it is a target that Siege Tank cannot hit, the precision bombing task will be handed over to Banshee Fighter.
Under the attack of such multi-unit three-dimensional firepower, a large number of firepower points deployed by Eri-Xiang City were completely destroyed shortly after the war began. But the defenders here are very tenacious, and there are more firepower points that are either hidden underground, reinforced, or even protected by Deflector Shield, which cannot be destroyed in time.
They started hide-and-seek with Fourth Civilization's army in the city.
However, Battle Army Commander, Fourth Civilization Army Major General Ling Liang does not intend to play games with them like this. What she wants is to complete the battle as soon as possible!
The duration of the hyperspace storm is not far away.
No one believed that she could win Eri-Xiang City within a month, including the battle commander, Admiral of the Navy Sefrans-Tann, who was also waiting to see her joke.
However, she just wants to make the impossible possible!
At this moment, she has also arrived on the Eriadu, and established her own command post on one of the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers. She overlooks this huge circular city from a high position, and then continuously issues instructions.
Although the Givin national treasure mathematician Baher-Banach has returned to the planet Yago-Dur, there is still a the Givin mathematics team following her at all times to provide advice for her command.
Ling Liang was originally a representative figure of academic generals. Maybe her talent is not as good as Sefrans-Tann's unbridled imagination, but it does not mean that her talent is mediocre.
After being awakened by Tang Xiao, she began to study cosmic warfare and fleet command. When she was stationed in the Yago-Dur system for command, she combined Zero-Modal Probability Theory, which the Givin used to predict and calculate the development of the universe, with combat command to form her own unique command method.
Moreover, if Sefrans-Tann is better at conducting raids with elite troops, then commanding large-scale legions, especially the combat mode of mixed three-dimensional strikes with multiple arms, is what Ling Liang is best at.
She compiled a very detailed battle plan for the Fourth Civilization Army's critical battle, using every bit of strength and firepower to its maximum potential.
Based on early reconnaissance and continuous calculations, she divided the entire Eri-Xiang City into more than 13,000 areas, and different areas have different data for calculation and analysis.
Just to complete the overall planning of these areas, she used 20 T-series tactical robot for auxiliary command.
After completing the division of more than 13,000 areas, Ling Liang began to implement the battle plan that he had planned for a long time.
Standing on the bridge of Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, overlooking the huge area of Eri-Xiang City, Ling Liang said coldly, "The time is ripe! Call the combat units at all levels! Nightfall Plan, officially begin!"
"Roger, combat units at all levels have been notified that Nightfall Plan has officially started." said a T-series tactical robot.
"The order has been issued, and the details of the combat plan have been sent to combat units at all levels Commander according to the authority. Nightfall Plan has started." Another T-series tactical robot said.
There was no roar of artillery fire, and there was no sea of fire filling the sky. The battlefield remained the same as before, as if the beginning of this so-called Nightfall Plan was just a verbal talk.
However, soon, only a dull sound of gunfire was heard.
A large number of shells were fired from these Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser. These shells did not explode after landing, but instead spewed out endless black smoke!!
The special smoke bombs launched by 10 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers filled the entire city in a short period of time. Not only that, but several formations of Wraith fighters passed over the city. The smoke spray devices hanging behind the fighter planes also continued to spit out black smoke, completely covering the sky above the city!
As the black smoke continued to spread and spread, in less than an hour, the entire Eri-Xiang City was completely shrouded in black mist!
This black smoke is obviously not ordinary smoke. This smoke condenses in the air and is difficult to be blown away by the wind. Moreover, the density of the smoke is similar to that of the air, so it gathers within 500 meters from the city ground.
Under the shroud of smoke, almost all electronic signals cannot be emitted!
Now the entire Eri-Xiang City is shrouded in darkness. No matter whether it is visually or through instruments, it is impossible to know anything happening inside!
The entire city has completely become a blind spot!
On Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser where Ling Liang is located, Staff Department has covered the previously designed zoning map of more than 13,000 blocks in the holographic projection of the city, and then the Givin's team of mathematicians immediately started calculations.
"Based on the city structure, terrain, previous fire reconnaissance, and the underground pipe network coverage map scanned by the instrument, there are 3744 points where the defender's garrison probability exceeds 60%." One of the Givin mathematicians clicked on the projection, and dense red dots suddenly appeared on it.
"Excluding the exposed fire points, there are 24,412 possible fire points and fire teams in the city with a probability of more than 60%." Another mathematician projected another denser mark on the holographic projection map. If it were not for computer-aided calculations, it would be impossible to process it.
"We have designed a special zero-mode formula based on the political, economic, humanistic, and military conditions around Eri-Xiang City, and now we are starting to bring it into the calculation." A the Givin mathematician waved, and a T-series tactical robot came over and began to perform auxiliary calculations on the battle situation.
"Then according to the calculation results of the formula, after the city is shrouded in black fog, these are the garrison points that may respond..." The Givin The mathematician said while clicking on the hologram. The densely packed marks on it immediately began to change and the direction of movement was drawn.
Ling Liang drew a few lines on the hologram and said, "Carry out selective bombing to induce their actions."
"Roger." T-series tactical robot replied, and immediately issued an order on the network.
They only saw that just outside the bridge where they were, a Turbolaser Turret was slowly rotating, aiming in one direction and blasting! boom! Just a few shots in a row!
The green Turbolaser beam instantly exploded in the target area. Even if the power was reduced, the powerful power still set off a huge fireball hundreds of meters high.
The turret adjusted its angle slightly, and then fired a few more shots!
At the same time, other warships also began to bomb as planned.
"Let the army troops enter the city." Ling Liang gave the order.
In the hologram of the city in front of her, the countless marks were constantly changing and moving. This was based on further simulation calculations based on the bombing situation, and the possible movement directions and methods of these targets were obtained.
Hundreds of thousands of the Fourth Civilization Army soldiers began to enter this city shrouded in black fog. Commander at all levels had a device in their hands that could conduct minimal contact and communication in the black fog. According to the instructions, they began to purposefully clear every building.
Among the first batch of army soldiers to enter the city, there was no Indjori. Currently, these most powerful warriors are still fighting fiercely on the periphery with several Eriadu defenders who want to break out for reinforcements, and this Nightfall Plan is not suitable for them to perform.
Ling Liang's Nightfall Plan uses black fog to completely turn the city into a blind spot, a blind spot that will become blind for both the enemy and ourselves!
However, she has Zero-Modal Probability Theory and a team of mathematicians the Givin! She used this fuzzy model established by probability to predict and calculate the garrison locations and possible movements of the defenders, and then used mathematics to direct the battle!!
Obviously, if her calculations are correct, then compared to the Galactic Republic defenders who have become blind, Fourth Civilization Army under her command is actually fighting on a map!
But if the calculation is wrong, it will be a disaster for Fourth Civilization's army entering the city!
But it's not that easy to go wrong, after all, the urban environment and terrain are here. It is a building with a good view and a solid structure. As the defender, instead of deploying an army here to control the surrounding area, you do the opposite and deploy your troops in a square with no neighbors. There is nothing you can do about it. I really can't figure it out.
But such a stupid person will not appear, at least not on Republic commander who is fighting for Eri-Xiang City.
From a normal situation, or a high probability situation, power must be deployed here, then this will be included in the calculation! What's more, in the previous fire reconnaissance, Eri-Xiang City has exposed many fire power arrangements, and these fire power deployment conditions are continued to be brought into the formula to improve, which makes the accuracy of this calculation actually not low!
Ling Liang Standing in the sky above Eri-Xiang City, a huge city with a length of more than 150 kilometers, it is like a huge Go board chessboard in front of us!
She closed her eyes, picked up her black chess piece, and through her own calculations, kept placing pieces on the chessboard, and then forced the invisible white piece into a desperate situation little by little, and then completely cannibalized it!
Maybe she would make a mistake and drop the black stone into the grid where the invisible white stone already existed. Then the result would be that the black stone would be overturned and shattered on the spot.
But the more chess pieces she dropped built a huge net in the darkness, covering the entire city!
Thanks to my big e who tipped 1500 Qidian Coin!!!
