1692, Battle of Dawn (ten)
C Battlegroup, which suffered a surprise attack from Purification-class Black Stealth Special Operations Ship and lost almost one-third of its warships in a short period of time, is now in chaos.
Because among the nine battleships that were destroyed, one of them was their flagship!
And the flagship was the first to be attacked. 4 Purifier-class sneaked to the engine position behind the battleship, and then 8 Super Proton Torpedo fired directly! In the violent explosion that broke out at that moment, C Battlegroup and Commander walked peacefully.
Each Purification-class Black Stealth Special Operations Ship carries 6 Super Proton Torpedos. This Proton Torpedo almost reaches the ultimate in power! But if it were launched normally, it would be easily intercepted.
Therefore, Purifier-class was taken out and used as a weapons launch platform.
If it comes in the form of a torpedo or missile, if you want to break through the opponent's Air Defense Circle, then you need a very complex algorithm. For example, the missile can adjust its entry direction according to the opponent's Air Defense Circle's firepower density, such as adding a stealth system to the missile, such as installing a tactical jump system on the missile...
So the question is - why not put these expensive things on a small spacecraft? Then let the spacecraft get close to the enemy ship and launch missiles at a very close position. Wouldn't everything be solved? At least the spaceship can be used again and again, right?
This is the origin of Purification-class Black Stealth Special Operations Ship.
So this is why both Duchy of Dawn and Galactic Republic are vigorously developing aircraft carrier technology. Stop making silly claims that fighter jets are inferior to missiles. Missiles are always just a point of firepower. Fighters and aircraft carriers as carriers are the core of the battlefield.
Purifier-class actually takes this to the extreme, it can even be said to be extreme!
Super Proton Torpedo is extremely powerful, even to the point where the flying speed is slow, the range is short, and it cannot turn! As a carrier, Purification-class Black Stealth Special Operations Ship has achieved the best in speed, flexibility, concealment, etc.!
The two combined into one, it is a battlefield killer that even now, Galactic Republic has not been able to come up with an effective way to deal with.
Of course, the raid was also costly. The fighter jets that took off from Hunter Class Battlecruiser launched a siege on the looming Purifier-class. Purifier-class, which had almost no defense means, were destroyed. 7 or 8 ships were destroyed. The others immediately stayed away from C Battlegroup, preparing to hide again and wait for an opportunity to launch an attack.
Judging from the attack itself, 7 or 8 Purification-class Black Stealth Special Operations Ship were exchanged for 9 Hunter Class Battlecruiser. Such an exchange ratio would be reported to Tang Xiao, and Tang Xiao would also be scolded. The cost of Purifier-class is very, very high! Because of the hyperspace stealth technology it uses, given the current technical strength of Duchy of Dawn, it can only be produced with time and cost.
But from a strategic perspective on the entire battlefield, the loss of these 7 or 8 Purifier-classs resulted in the complete collapse of the three battle groups that Galactic Republic invaded Dawn Star Planet! This is an army of 95 Hunter Class and 1 Commander-class!
From this perspective, it's a huge profit!
So after C Battlegroup lost its flagship and lost nine battleships to a sneak attack, the captains of the remaining 21 battleships all became frightened, and they began to order their warships to move closer to A and Battlegroup B.
This is funny, because A, Battlegroup B is still thinking that C Battlegroup will stabilize their position! As a result, you C Battlegroup panicked first and moved closer to this side. What happened?
And those captains also issued the same stupid orders as Cassio-Tagge just now - take off all fighter jets immediately!
Cassio-Tagge have realized their mistakes, so they specifically asked C Battlegroup's warships to take off their fighter jets one after another! But after such a sneak attack by Purification-class Black Stealth Special Operations Ship, the captains of C Battlegroup let themselves go. Damn the orders. Now the invisible killer is next to me. I have to throw all the fighter jets out to cover me!
As a result, the chaos that occurred on A and Battlegroup B's side appeared intact again on C Battlegroup's side.
But this time, there will be no D battle group or E battle group coming to give them another chance!
Cassio-Tagge led the remaining 42 warships on his side to break out in the direction of C Battlegroup. After paying heavy losses as another four warships were severely damaged and fell behind, they who were halfway through also witnessed the disaster that occurred on C Battlegroup's side, and also witnessed the whole process of C Battlegroup falling into chaos.
This is their last hope!
It only took less than half an hour to go from hope to despair...
Standing on the bridge of Tagge's Commander-class Dreadnought, Cassio-Tagge had completely collapsed on the main seat, staring blankly at the holographic battle star map, unable to say a word.
He has understood that under the current situation, the only thing he can do is to gather all the remaining warships together and then fight until the end.
And he had already given this order just now.
Behind Republic fleet, a large, dark mass of small warships pounced on their final target like locusts!
Cassio-Tagge, who fell into the powerful electronic interference from Dawn Star Planet and almost cut off external communication, did not know at this time that Republic Expeditionary Fleet, who was continuing the landing operation at Annaj system, also fell into despair.
Of course, if he knew the news, he might just shoot himself in pain and annoyance.
The former adjutant Laslo-Dorit who was left behind at Annaj system and did not accompany the army to raid Dawn Star Planet, received news that shocked him so much that he finally had to give up all illusions and accept his fate:
Dawn Star System's base was destroyed by enemy agents, and Hyperspace Stabilizer was destroyed!
No support!
He no longer wanted to ask why Dawn Star System, which was far away from Core Worlds, was raided, or why the most important military facilities in a military base with millions of troops stationed were destroyed in full view of the public.
It's too late to say anything now.
Now, including the operators on the battleship, there are also millions of troops on his side, and they have launched a full-scale landing operation against Annaj Planet. At this most critical moment, he was suddenly told that there was no backup, so what else could he say?
We can only wait to die!
Laslo-Dorit did not really give up and leave. Out of his own sense of responsibility, he stood up again after Cassio-Tagge left and commanded the remaining troops to continue the previous battle plan.
There are still 107 Hunter Class Battlecruiser in his hands at the moment, but the condition of these warships is not very good and can only be barely used for combat.
After all, all the warships in good condition were taken away by Cassio-Tagge.
Now the ground forces are still launching the most powerful attack on the capital area of Annaj Planet, and are constantly investing more troops. Now the number of the Clone Army involved in the siege has exceeded 300,000. This is almost the entire army brought by the expeditionary force!
But the defenders of Annaj Planet are also very tenacious. Although their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Clone Army, their number is seven times that of their opponent! And each one of them is not afraid of death, using their own flesh and blood to build indestructible lines of defense!
However, determination cannot replace guns and artillery. Under the unstoppable attack of the Clone Army, the defenders have now been forced back into the capital city, and fierce street fighting has broken out!
As the front line continued to shorten, Clone Army's troops became more abundant, and they launched the final attack on the capital!
And this is also the last chance for Laslo-Dorit - to capture Annaj Planet in one fell swoop! Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope!
For this reason, he issued a death order to everyone in the headquarters, asking them to keep it strictly confidential and suppress the information that Dawn Star System was destroyed by the sneak attack, so that no one else could know.
Then he continued to have all the spaceships transport the final supplies and troops to Annaj Planet for landing. He must invest every last bit of his strength and strive to occupy Annaj Planet's capital in a short time!
Republic Expeditionary Fleet in the direction of Annaj Planet no longer has the strength to carry out more combat missions. If they can now smoothly deliver landing troops and supplies to the surface of the planet, it is a victory.
Although the number of Duchy of Dawn's fleet is small, its performance is much more powerful than that of Hunter Class. After being taken away by Cassio-Tagge, half of the battleships in the best condition are now thankful that Duchy of Dawn's fleet can't come over and take the initiative to cause trouble. How dare we talk about encirclement and suppression?
So under the forced orders of Laslo-Dorit, the peripheral artillery of Annaj Planet's capital rumbled, and AT-TE walkers and AV-7 self-propelled artillery continued to launch powerful shells into the city, setting off waves of terrible explosions!
In the sky, the Galactic Republic fighter squadrons formation flew by, strafing with blaster cannons, bombing with cluster bombs, and striking with precision with Concussion Missile!
They wish they could plow the entire capital to the ground!
On the ground, Clone Trooper launched wave after wave of charges! Their strong bodies move forward flexibly on the battlefield, looking for bunkers, shooting at fixed points, and providing cross-covering. All tactical actions are extremely standard. One firepower point after another was removed, and every time a firepower point was eliminated, you could see hundreds of corpses of Anaji defenders scattered inside!
This has turned into a brutal battle where every inch of territory must be fought for!
However, no matter how secretive Laslo-Dorit is, he can only ensure that his people do not know the situation of Dawn Star System, but Duchy of Dawn Governor of Modell Sector, who was also the total Commander Volgograd-Kanidi of this battle, got the news right away!
Dawn Star System was destroyed by agents, Hyperspace Stabilizer was destroyed!
This means that this Republic Expeditionary Force has completely become a lone army! The latest general attack launched by Annaj Planet's capital now is their final madness!
Volgograd-Kanidi looked at the holographic battlefield map for a long time, then turned around suddenly. There were already several people with different styles standing behind him, but all of them were extremely tough.
One of them is Caladanian, who is over two meters tall and has a purple complexion - Bentilas-Sang-Si Carl!
He is now the leader among Caladanian's new generation of young generals. Of course, he also has his own dark history - when Jedi Master Sass-Ting went to Caladan Planet to inquire about Geth's intelligence, he sneaked into his barracks, knocked him unconscious while he was sleeping, and took away his clothes.
This made San-si Carl look very ugly in the army. He was tall and could not find any other clothes to cover his body, so he ran around in the barracks wearing underpants.
In the end, when the army blocked Master Sass-Ting in the command center, he rushed in and fought bravely, finally killing this Jedi Master, but their General Dilar had also been killed by Master Sass-Ting.
After that, Ben Tiras-San-Si Carl inherited General Dilar's legacy, and under the name Slaughterer, led the powerful army of Caladanian to continue fighting for Duchy of Dawn.
Galactic Republic is Caladanian's unforgettable enemy! And Duchy of Dawn is Caladanian's grateful benefactor! Regarding this point, Ben Tiras-Sang-Si Carl is also very clear.
He came here to completely kill all the Galactic Republic invaders from the territory of Duchy of Dawn! Leave no one behind!
But Volgograd-Kanidi never let San-Si Carl and his Caladanian troops go into battle, and just let them continue to hide in the underground air-raid shelter.
This made the Caladanian soldiers excited. If Tang Xiao hadn't personally given them the order to wait patiently, San-si Carl would have been the first to rush up and eat Governor Kanidi alive!
Standing next to San-Si Carl was a short, introverted human who seemed to be an ordinary person. He was wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform, a mask that covered the upper half of his face, a C on his forehead, and a round shield made of Frik Steel in his hand.
But just such a person makes even a fierce existence like Carl Ben Tiras-San-Si extremely fearful. Because while hiding in the underground air-raid shelter, every time they competed, the result was that this seemingly ordinary human being beat Si Carl in various ways, without any room to fight back.
This person is Shi Aimin, Super Soldier.
After Marastal Campaign, Tang Xiao also learned that Shi Aimin was not willing to participate in offensive operations, because he was a kind and upright person after all, and he could not accept the flames of war spreading to civilians, even civilians of the enemy.
Therefore, Tang Xiao made Shi Aimin an instructor, who is mainly responsible for training army soldiers.
But this time, Modell Sector was invaded, Annaj Planet was in ruins, and Shi Aimin naturally stood up without hesitation!
However, the most conspicuous among these people is not Carl or Shi Aimin, but another person, or a mecha.
This is a completely black CMC-300 powered armor! There are many ferocious barbs installed on the outside, and the face of a terrifying monster is spray-painted on the full-coverage helmet!
Black Beast Squad!
