1396.Dexen Meat Grinder (2)
Boom! boom!! Explosions continued to sound on the battlefield, both on the city shield and in the outer Republic Army landing area.
The two warring parties have completely unleashed their firepower, leaving nothing to hide.
However, Steel City's city-level shield gave Republic army a lot of trouble. This city-level shield was extremely strong, and the extreme situation of such a siege was fully considered at the beginning of its design and manufacture. The shield generators in the city have extremely large shield capacitors, which are enough to allow the shields to neutralize most incoming firepower.
And because this city was built based on the former Mandalorian Crusaders's forward base, you must know that Mandalore the Ultimate wanted to invade Galactic Republic, but it took more than ten years to prepare. This advanced base on Dexen Satellite was originally prepared for millions of Mandalorian Crusaders. Therefore, after more than ten years of construction and operation, it has become large-scale and very strong.
Because of this, Wilhuff-Tarkin's previous plan to order the flagship to bomb other parts of the satellite in an attempt to destroy Steel City through indirect damage such as volcanoes and earthquakes completely failed.
In fact, if Wilhuff-Tarkin had concentrated all the warships for targeted bombing at that time, there would still be a chance to destroy the shield. However, his inner self-preservation psychology made him choose such a method without facing the orbital defense system, and he failed.
So now, with his battleship being stabbed and Orbital Bombardment's ability almost lost, the city shield that he has not been able to solve has become the biggest obstacle in front of Galactic Republic.
Faced with this one-way shield that Tyran Heavy Industries installed at all costs, Republic army didn't have many options.
You know, that is because Dexen Satellite is located in Inner Rim of the galaxy, and it is an important base for the production of Behemoth-class battlecruiser. Otherwise, this one-way shield would not be installed by them at all.
After all, even a thousand-meter-class battleship is not qualified to install a one-way shield - because with the current production process and technological level, this shield system alone is more expensive than a battleship.
Republic army The only option is to continue bombing and then find a way to let the army enter.
Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Boo hoo hoo~~~Boom!! In this bullet-filled battlefield, almost no place is safe. Almost every inch of the air was filled with bullets and blaster beams flying back and forth, leaving no place to hide.
The Galactic Republic soldiers who landed were hiding behind bunkers made of portable fences and shields. They were too frightened by the firepower whizzing across the sky to dare to come forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Company One A series of dull explosions sounded, and thick smoke mixed with light special metal powder began to spread, isolating everything in front.
"Smoke grenades are deployed!! Company 107, listen to me! Did you see the building on the right front clearly just now? Rush over and hide behind the building, you will succeed! There is only 600 meters away! Quick, quick, quick!!!" An officer pointed at a building outside Steel City and said loudly.
"Company 107 follow me!" The company commander also took the risk, roared and rushed over with the soldiers of the company.
As soon as they came out of the bunker, a dense burst of artillery fire hit them from the opposite side! In an instant, more than ten people were brought to the ground.
The other soldiers were frightened. Some turned around and tried to return to the bunker, but the officer shot them all dead on the spot. The remaining soldiers shouted wildly and charged forward, but were killed by artillery fire like wheat.
"Company 108! Go!!" the officer continued to shout, "Break into the shield range! Occupy the bunker! Everyone is assigned an apartment in Coruscant! Company 109 prepare!!"
Another company of soldiers rushed forward! On the opposite side, a large number of combat robots were already waiting. When Galactic Republic soldiers appeared, they immediately started shooting wildly again!
A company of nearly 200 soldiers advanced less than 300 meters before being wiped out.
But more soldiers still followed.
A LAAT/C assault transport boat landed quickly with an AT-TE walker hoisted on it. It was destroyed by anti-aircraft fire before it even landed. The AT-TE landed with a bang, and then its six mechanical legs began to move forward at maximum power, gradually increasing in speed.
The artillery fire in the city became more and more fierce, and naturally a target as big as the AT-TE would not be missed. Missiles and rockets followed, exploding on the walker.
"The walker is coming! Company 112 follow it!!" the officer shouted, "Signal Corps!! Where is our armored unit??"
"It's such a mess! I don't know where it is! It said there was a formation of Saber tanks landing in our direction, but I didn't see a hair!" the communications soldier also yelled.
Bang!!! A burning wreckage fell from the sky and landed more than ten meters away from them. It was the wreckage of a TX-130 Saber tank. It looked like it was shot down on a transport plane.
"Now you see where they are! Keep calling me for reinforcements! I want tanks! I want walkers!!" the officer yelled.
boom! boom! boom! There was another violent explosion over there, and the AT-TE walker was hit by several anti-tank missiles. The armor was penetrated and disintegrated in the flames of the explosion.
But the Galactic Republic soldiers hiding behind the walker rushed out from behind the wreckage of the walker and rushed forward against the crazy firepower from the opposite side.
There was another massacre like cutting wheat, and hundreds of soldiers were killed by crazy artillery fire. But finally dozens of people rushed into the shield range. They entered the light curtain and were finally able to fire on the combat robots on the opposite side.
He rolled and crawled to hide behind the building, and then threw a few more smoke bombs with his backhand. Some soldiers carrying more equipment also turned on drones and remote-controlled bombs to bomb the combat robot positions.
The sound of gunfire continued all the time, and the corpses of Galactic Republic soldiers covered almost every place in the large area from the landing site to the shield. But the attack continues!
"Company 129! Come on!! Company 129!!" The officer's voice was hoarse, but he was still yelling into the communicator.
"Company 129's spacecraft was shot down! No one survived!" said the communications soldier.
"Company 130! Attack!! Someone has already entered the shield range! Keep moving forward!" the officer yelled.
"No! Going like this is a complete way to die!!" When Commander of the company saw the continuous massacre in front, he was so frightened that his legs became weak and he couldn't stand still.
Bang!! A soldier behind the officer shot the company commander in the head.
"You are the company commander now! Come on!" the officer pointed at the deputy company commander and said.
Going forward is death, retreating is also death. But the difference is that if you die while advancing, you will be treated as a combat death, and your family may still receive a pension.
"Kill!!!!" The soldiers roared like they were venting their anger, picked up their guns, lined up in a skirmish line, and rushed forward quickly.
