1704.Battle of Dawn (final)
Planetary Shield of Annaj Planet, started!!
This is a situation that no one here at Galactic Republic Expeditionary Force could have foreseen!
Before they launched the ground offensive, they launched a full-scale attack on Annaj Planet, severely damaging Agonev-class star base around the planet and forcing the interstellar base to lower its altitude and enter the planet's synchronous orbit.
This makes the interstellar base lose the ability to protect the planet on the periphery, and can only provide protection over the capital area, so that Republic fleet will not bomb that area unscrupulously.
And after the war, if you want to lift Agonev-class star base back to the outer orbit, it will require the cooperation of at least three engineering fleets and at least thousands of engineering ships to do it.
After that, Agonev-class star base's cover was lost, and Annaj Planet's Planetary Shield was quickly defeated. And Galactic Republic also successfully launched the landing, sending a large number of Clone Trooper to the surface of Annaj Planet.
As for after landing, they encountered the desperate resistance of the Annaj Planet defenders, the massacre of Archangel of Death, the sudden attack of biological and chemical weapons, and finally the Jedi counterattack of the opponent's hidden powerful force.
Everything is so logical, even if the ground battle does not go smoothly, or even on the verge of failure. Everyone's reflections and reviews will only focus on the space operations before the landing and the ground operations after the landing. No one would have thought that there was an inconspicuous link in the middle -
They launched the landing only after they defeated Planetary Shield!
Generally speaking, after Planetary Shield is broken, the capacitor of the shield will be burned, and even the shield generator will be damaged due to overheating. Therefore, in order to prop up Planetary Shield again, we need to replace the shield system. This cannot be done in a few days. It will take at least a month or two. It is a big project.
But how could it happen that after Planetary Shield was defeated, it restarted within a few days?!
Seeing Planetary Shield, the layer outside the planet that has become invisible, although it is invisible, the protection of the planet is obvious. Planetary Shield will only show a light blue color due to the surge of energy when it is first started, but now, there is no doubt that this shield has become a barrier between the planet's ground and space!
It's the boundary between life and death!
Volgograd-Kanidi stood in the command center, looking calmly in the direction of space, without saying a word.
"Haha! Those Galactic Republic scumbags will never think that it was us who took the initiative to close Planetary Shield, not them! Hahahaha!!" Modell Sector Military Commander Jin Chen laughed heartily.
But what corresponded to his hearty laughter was the tattered military uniform on his body. It was burned and torn in several places, and traces of medical treatment could still be seen on the skin underneath.
As Modell Sector's best combatant Commander, Jin Chen has always been active on the front line during this period of battle. It can be said that they have been through life and death. It was precisely because of his excellent command that Annaj Planet's defenders did not completely collapse.
After all, facing an enemy whose equipment, physical strength, morale, and strength are better than their own, and who also have absolute air superiority, they have accomplished an almost impossible task by being able to withstand Galaxy Republic clone troopers's attack.
You must know that before this, except for the regular army of Fourth Civilization, Fourth Legion, and the robot army of Confederacy of Independent Systems, no one in the entire galaxy could do this.
"After all, they still failed to discover this last little link..." Kanidi said lightly, "I'm afraid until the end, they thought that Annaj Planet's Planetary Shield was broken by them, right? In fact, it was shut down by us."
"We still have the last Group One capacitor to use, which should be able to last for about a day." Jin Chen said excitedly, "This victory belongs to us!"
Kanidi suddenly turned around, looked at him deeply, nodded, but didn't say anything.
It seemed that he had no interest in this almost certain victory.
Bursts of fire flickered in the sky, and they were clearly visible even on the ground. This was the fire that exploded when Republic Fleet launched a bombing attack on Planetary Shield.
They finally deployed Orbital Bombardment because this was their last choice.
Volgograd-Kanidi knows it, Republic Expeditionary Fleet agent Commander comes to Luo-Dorit naturally also knows it.
"Inform the fleet that the remaining capacitance of our Planetary Shield cannot sustain it for too long, and let them delay Republic fleet's actions as much as possible." Kanidi said.
"Yes!"
Laslo-Dorit stood on the bridge of the battleship, looking at the blue planet in front of him in silence.
He issued a comprehensive Orbital Bombardment order. In his opinion, this was the last thing he could do. Regarding the sudden rise of Planetary Shield, it is actually only related to the success of his final choice.
It has long been irrelevant to the entire battle situation.
Yes, he has failed too many times, and it doesn't seem so difficult to accept another failure this time.
He looked at the ripples of light blue energy that Planetary Shield was rippling under Orbital Bombardment, and the expression on his face was already numb.
Until the end, I still couldn't save even a little bit of my reputation... As a soldier, this is the shame among shame! With a powerful fleet with an absolute advantage, it couldn't even break through the opponent's first line of defense! What an irony.
And the re-activation of Planetary Shield, no matter what the reason is, means that his last attempt has failed!
Duchy of Dawn's Commander didn't even intend to give him the last chance.
"Sir, the radar reacted! It's Separatist fleet!" The radar soldier came over and reported loudly, "They came around from the other side of the planet! Number 30!"
"The arrival of their fleet means that the second activation of Planetary Shield is actually not stable in their minds. Send half of the warships to block it, and the other warships, continue to bomb!" Laslo-Dorit said loudly.
On the other side of the planet, about 30 Duchy of Dawn battleships launched an assault!
Each of these battleships is covered in scars, and even Calamity-class battlecruiser, which has been under heavy protection, only has four ships left. The other Calamity-class were either destroyed, or the Particle Beam Lance launch array was overloaded and overheated and could not be used.
Of course, the warships here at Galactic Republic are not much better. There are only two Knight-class Star Destroyers left, and not one of the old Invincible-class battleships is left. For the other Hunter Class Battlecruisers, you can't even find one with all eight main guns intact!
It was as if in this extremely cruel arena, two opponents who were already bruised and almost dead were fighting with their last strength! The only thing they can still burn is their own lives!
Duchy of Dawn's fleet launched a desperate attack!
They have persisted for too long. From the beginning, they could rely on their more advanced and more powerful warships to launch some counterattacks. Later, they could only wander around and fight guerrilla warfare. Later, as their strength continued to weaken, they could only harass Galactic Republic's transport fleet.
In fact, space combat does not have as many influencing factors as ground combat. Maybe on the ground you also need to consider many circumstances such as time, physical fitness, terrain, equipment, weather, and even public support. But in space, many times the comparison is very straightforward - bigger is stronger, more is stronger!
Famous generals like Sefrans-Tann who can perform brilliantly on the space battlefield are unique in the entire galaxy.
At this moment, Fleet Commander on both sides does not have the ability to single-handedly reverse the entire battle situation like Sefrans-Tann. The competition between them also involves exchanges in quantity and size.
At one time, it faced Galactic Republic Expeditionary Force's huge force of more than 300 battleships. The Duchy of Dawn fleet that has supported it until now is already overwhelmed.
But even so, they still launched a desperate attack!
By burning your own life!
The two broken fleets collided together, and both sides invariably shortened the fighting distance, and even leaned together to start shooting in the face!
Those severely damaged warships were either damaged by Fire Control Radar, had their turrets destroyed, or had problems with their power systems. In short, they could no longer support them in a conventional ultra-long-distance artillery battle.
Hand-to-hand combat is their only option!
This battle between the remaining soldiers was even more bloody and cruel than when they were fully armed at first!
Some warships even have no shields. When one shot is fired, fragments fly off the armored belt. Those fragments blown out at high speed like bullets can even hit the opponent's warship!
Keep firing! Keep shooting! Keep getting beaten! Keep getting damaged!
Even Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser, which is famous for its rough skin and thick flesh, had two ships sunk in less than half an hour after the battle broke out!
And Galaxy Republic Expeditionary Fleet suffered even more heavy losses!
Both sides have no reservations. In fact, if conditions did not allow it, the crew members of both sides would stand on the deck and shoot with pistols!
However, a sudden change finally brought all this madness to an end.
A burst of white light flashed, and a Commander-class Dreadnought was seen jumping out of hyperspace and appearing on the edge of the battlefield!
Commander-class! It is the ship of Cassio-Tagge! It is also the flagship of the entire Galactic Republic Expeditionary Fleet! It is where the highest Commander is!
Cassio-Tagge led the last elite of the expeditionary force to raid Dawn Star Planet, and now they are back!
Was it a success?
This question just flashed through the minds of all Galactic Republic soldiers, and then a more terrifying idea began to appear in their minds!
Why? Why is this Commander-class Dreadnought only single? Where are the escorting warships? Old warships like Commander-class are no longer suitable for the needs of modern fleet warfare. It is only because of its huge size that this warship can be installed with a more powerful communication system and accommodate more staff teams, so it was selected as the flagship.
Of course, the huge space also allows Cassio-Tagge to build their own ships magnificently.
Therefore, it is simply impossible for this Commander-class Dreadnought to fight alone! So, where are the escort warships? If there are no escort warships, does that mean...
Soon, the screen flashed in the public channel, and the appearance of a figure dispelled all the doubts of Galactic Republic naval officers and soldiers at all levels...
It also brought deeper despair!
Cassio-Tagge! Fleet Commander official!
However, at this moment, he was no longer as high-spirited as before. Now, he was beaten until his nose was bruised, his face was swollen and his body was bruised, and he was pressed down by two Duchy of Dawn Navy Marines.
Total Commander was captured! So the fate of the last elite fleet that went to raid Dawn Star Planet is self-evident!
At this time, another person walked into the picture, and it was the leader of Crimson Dawn, Dryden-Vos! The Scar on his face made him look extremely ferocious. Vos walked over, pinched Cassio-Tagge's chin and shook it hard, then slapped him again, waking up the dazed prisoner.
"We're here, General Tagge." Dryden-Vos said with a ferocious smile, "Tell your colleagues something."
Cassio-Tagge raised his head and opened his eyes with difficulty. After he saw Laslo-Dorit clearly on the other side of the screen, he suddenly struggled violently and shouted, "Blow me! Blow me up!! Blow Annaj Planet to pieces!!"
Dryden-Vos's face turned cold, he stepped forward and kicked Cassio-Tagge hard in the stomach, and then punched Tagge several times in the face, leaving Tagge's face a bloody mess.
"Ah, it seems that our prisoner is not very honest." Dryden-Vos took a hand towel and wiped the blood on his hands, turned to Laslo-Dorit and said, "Forget it, surrender. This is the fate of being stubborn. Otherwise, you will be thrown into space and become a piece of garbage floating forever."
The muscles on Laslo-Dorit's face twitched slightly, and he squeezed out a few words from his throat, "Our Commander said, I will blow Annaj Planet into pieces!"
His expression also became a little ferocious.
"It seems that you want to be a space junk." Dryden-Vos smiled coldly, turned around and walked out of the screen.
But the communication was still not closed. The two Marines tied Cassio-Tagge directly to the captain's main seat, and then left.
The straight and rigid voice of T-series tactical robot came from behind the background, "Every post is ready for battle, move forward at full speed, and launch an attack on Republic fleet."
"Roger Roger!" came the answer from the other side of the B-1 combat robot.
The huge 8,000-meter-long body of the Commander-class Dreadnought began to move forward, and its main gun opened fire! Head straight towards the Galactic Republic Expeditionary Force final fleet!
