1097. Nightfall Plan——The Fall of Eriadu (Part 2)
Zero-Modal Probability Theory, a calculation method uniquely created by the Givin. Even with the assistance of a supercomputer, currently only the Givin can complete such calculations by himself.
This is also the basis for the survival of the Givin living in a complex Three-Body galaxy.
They not only used Zero-Modal Probability Theory to predict the movement trajectories of the three stars in the Yago-Dour system, but also used Zero-Modal Probability Theory to predict the future of the race and the direction of the Milky Way, even if they took measures when the stars were too far or too close to the planet.
Now, after Ling Liang came into contact with the Givin, she began to try to integrate Zero-Modal Probability Theory into combat command. And with the help of the Givin great mathematicians Baher-Banach, she achieved certain results and was indeed used.
Through this calculation method, she successfully calculated and detonated Eriadu star's flare, causing a hyperspace storm and creating conditions for attacking Eriadu.
Now, she is using Zero-Modal Probability Theory in another way - that is, to complete battlefield command through mathematical calculations without any communication or contact at all!
This is the only way.
Because Eri-Xiang City's defense is too strong, with well-trained soldiers, sufficient supplies, powerful firepower, and complex terrain. Even according to the most optimistic estimates, at least 3 million troops are needed to capture this city, and they must be prepared to plow the city to the ground.
As for the time, it takes more than half a year.
Fourth Civilization can't wait half a year. Once the hyperspace storm is over, Galactic Republic's powerful fleet will swarm in. At that time, Eriadu system's battle situation will return to the starting point, and everything will start again.
And Fourth Civilization can't afford it.
If Eriadu system cannot be controlled, then when Galaxy Republic Army comes under pressure, even the previously occupied territory of the 19th Army may not be consolidated.
In Fourth Civilization Supreme Military Command's plan, if Eriadu cannot be occupied in time, then they will carry out a comprehensive Orbital Bombardment of the planet and destroy the entire planet's surface to forcibly control the planet.
Then when Galactic Republic fleet comes, concentrate all your fleets to defend Eriadu system until the end.
But without the support and logistics of a planet, this is equivalent to a head-on decisive battle with Republic fleet! Compared with Fourth Civilization, the productivity of Galactic Republic far exceeds them. The consequences of this are foreseeable.
Therefore, the only way to capture Eri-Xiang City is to disintegrate the resistance of the defenders in the city and turn this battle into an asymmetrical battle.
However, Fourth Civilization does not have the technology that can crush Galactic Republic. Whether it is electronic warfare or stealth technology, Galactic Republic has the means to deal with it. The only difference is whether it is difficult or not.
The technological levels of both sides are currently evenly matched, so why is it asymmetric?
So the only way is to let both sides be blinded, but they are still blinded. Although they are blinded, they have other means, so this becomes asymmetry!
Nightfall Plan is like this, making both warring parties blind and blind, and then directing the battle through Zero-Modal Probability Theory! If it succeeds, then the Galactic Republic defenders will become blind, and Fourth Civilization Army will be a blind man wearing a vision aid!
Once the battle started, things went very smoothly!
The specially made black smoke blocked communications and sight lines, and all the troops lost contact with other surrounding troops. At this time, Fourth Civilization Army started to move blindly!
There is no intelligence, not even battlefield images, and we rely entirely on calculations to judge the enemy's movements and respond!
The defenders of Eri-Xiang City were simply unable to cope with such a situation. In their view, Separatist army had shrouded everything with black mist and cut off their communications, but at the same time, they themselves were not affected!
All the mobilization and deployment of the local garrison seemed to be transparent! Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser in the sky kept firing, and at least half of the firepower accurately fell on the defenders, even if they hid in the sewers, it was useless! Dreadnought-class's powerful firepower will even blast the exit of the sewer directly into the tower, burying the troops hiding inside alive!
In this black fog, the Eri-Xiang City defenders were unable to make any judgment at all. The visual distance in the city did not exceed 50 meters, and communications were interrupted. They had to send communications troops to nearby garrison areas for communication based on their memories.
But there are countless killers hidden in the black mist-Caladanian!
They continued to kill every signaling soldier who escaped, trying to ensure that communication between the defenders remained interrupted.
Moreover, the bombing in the sky continued. Even if it was affected by the black fog, it did not affect the accuracy of the bombing at all. There was even one time when a certain company sent a communications team to contact the headquarters. However, as soon as the communications team set off, the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser adjustment gun overhead fired directly!
After a terrible explosion, not even the corpses of the communications team were left!
Galactic Republic The defenders Commander still can't figure out how the Separatists battleship discovered their intentions? The only explanation is that Separatists Even if there is this black fog, they are still watching everything!
Just like an eye that can penetrate all illusions and see through the essence, it looks down at the city, making all their actions invisible!
He was half right, it wasn't the eyes that looked at the city, but...
Mathematics.
Under the obstruction of the black fog, the local defenders could only fight on their own, and then were defeated by Fourth Civilization's army that broke into the city!
The other surrounding troops could only huddle in their original positions and tremble. They could do nothing. Although gunshots and explosions continued to come from the surroundings, they were unable to take any action at all.
Because they have no idea what's going on!
I don't know where the enemy is, I don't know the number of the enemy, I don't know anything!
On the night after Nightfall Plan was opened, Fourth Civilization's army advanced a full 10 kilometers! Occupied a large number of key buildings and annihilated tens of thousands of Galactic Republic defenders!
By daytime the next day, the sunshine slightly improved the city's visibility, but it was only so good that the defenders still could not come up with effective ways to deal with it, and buildings were still lost one by one.
Eri-Xiang City The desperate battle situation was quickly learned by the 18th Army Governor Wilhuff-Tarkin who had already left the city and was commanding remotely in a very remote manor.
After discussing with the Staff Department, he decided to launch an active offensive, allowing the peripheral troops and Eri-Xiang City's internal defenders to cooperate inside and outside in an attempt to break through the Fourth Civilization Army's blockade.
For this battle, Eri-Xiang City the city's defenders finally assembled an army of 160,000 troops, and started taking action at noon on the fourth day.
However, this breakout operation was perfectly predicted by mathematicians Ling Liang and the Givin.
When the breakout army launched an offensive, they were surprised to find that a terrifying and bloodthirsty army was roaring and trying to rush towards them!
Indjori!!
After the three-dimensional fire bombardment from the sky and the ground, Indjori launched an assault!
Maybe in street fighting, Republic army, which occupies a favorable terrain, can still struggle in front of Indjori, but in this open field, Republic army, which lacks armor units, faces Indjori. The result can only be described in two words -
Massacre!!
Wilhuff-Tarkin, who was commanding in the manor, watched the breakout battle through the battlefield video. He only watched the video for 10 minutes before turning off the video.
The scene was so bloody and desperate that even he couldn't stand it anymore.
He put his hands on the table, took several deep breaths, and then said, "Eri-Xiang City can't hold on for long! Once Separatists frees himself from the quagmire of Eri-Xiang City, they will soon find out that I am not there! Then in the midst of a global manhunt, I can't hide! Contact Republic military and take action early! I want to get out of here!"
