2377, the Empire Strikes Back (3)
Ten Acclamator-class assault ship and hundreds of transport ships were already prepared. Under the protection of Imperial-class Star Destroyer, they began to break into the already very thin atmosphere of the Yago-Dur planet. Hundreds of thousands of Imperial Stormtroopers and Clone Trooper left the spacecraft and headed for the discovered underground entrance.
Almost immediately, dense gunshots rang out in those narrow underground passages!
The Givin has long been waiting in the underground of the planet. Tens of millions of B-1 combat robots are always ready and guarding all the main underground passages.
In that narrow passage, armored troops had no way to display their power, and heavy firepower was useless. Even though Imperial army planned to use a flamethrower for propulsion, in the end it was discovered that the opponent's B-1 combat robot was the one that was at home in the face of the sea of fire, high temperature and vacuum created by the flamethrower.
In such a narrow terrain, rocket launchers have become the most useful weapon. Both sides are using rocket launchers to blast. Often as soon as there is a situation ahead, dozens of rocket launchers are blasted over, and then the infantry slowly advances.
But such combat efficiency can be imagined.
On the first day after launching the landing operation, no the Empire Stormtrooper could even touch the edge of any the Givin city!
This situation is simply desperate, because Imperial Army has to face the most traditional front-line combat mode. That is, countless soldiers advance simultaneously on a whole front, starting from the border and approaching the opponent's core step by step.
In fact, after entering the interstellar era, such battle line mode wars have been eliminated. Because as long as it controls the outer orbit of the planet, the army can directly launch a landing at the opponent's core and directly attack the opponent's capital or military base.
Even if the anti-aircraft firepower on the capital and military bases is too strong to allow direct landing, you can at least establish a landing position hundreds of kilometers away and then continue to attack, which will only be one or two hundred kilometers away at most.
But what the imperial army is facing now is to first penetrate the underground passage. After entering the underground, find the direction in the completely unknown underground city group, and then push forward step by step.
I'm afraid it will be several years before the capital of the planet Yago-Dur is captured!
On the one hand, Das-Vader ordered a landing operation, and on the other hand, he asked his engineering scientists to immediately start studying how to blow up the entire Yago-Dur planet!
That's right, since Orbital Bombardment using a battleship from the outside in does not work, then after entering the planet's underground, deploy a powerful super bomb and completely blow the planet into pieces from the inside out!
Obviously, the Givin's defenders were also preparing for this, so countless B-1 combat robots frantically launched a counterattack towards the Imperial Army, making sure to completely block Imperial army from the surface of the planet.
At the same time, Sefrans-Tann was finally able to launch an attack on Fondor Planet on the fifth day after the outbreak of the Yago-Dur planet battle!
Kingdom of Dawn fleet, who was already ready to go, rushed towards Fondor Planet's outer defense facilities like a pack of wolves!
Fondor Planet's defense fleet is not large in number, and Das-Vader has taken out almost all the battleships. He did not pile all the fleets in the Yago-Dur system, but established a huge frontline attack network in a total of 9 systems including Mechis III (Mechis III), Kiffar Planet (Kiffu), and Thyferra (Thyferra).
These planets include logistics support, hospitals, maintenance, ammunition supply, reserve team gathering and other functions. Each of them performs their own duties to support such a super fleet composed of more than 2,100 capital ships and more than 13,000 small and medium-sized warships.
Therefore, it is impossible for these fleets, which are now performing their respective duties in various galaxies and operating in an orderly manner as part of this offensive, to return to defend Fondor Planet.
It is impossible for Das-Vader to make such a decision.
Fondor Planet's defense fleet was quickly defeated. Sefrans-Tann began to bomb the surrounding armed space stations, and Novalith Cannon was still tirelessly bombing Fondor Planet's Planetary Shield.
In the early morning of October 10, Second Task Force of Sefrans-Tann blasted a gap in Fondor Planet's defense facilities. All seven Golan-class armed space stations in this direction were destroyed. Then, she put all the warships into planet-synchronous orbit, with full firepower, and carried out Orbital Bombardment!
Fondor Planet's Planetary Shield was already riddled with holes and was overwhelmed by Novalith Cannon's continuous bombardment for almost two months. Now being bombarded by the Sefrans-Tann main fleet, it was immediately completely overloaded. Even in space, several huge fire points could be seen. Those were the locations of Planetary Shield's shield capacitors.
Planetary Shield, broken!
There was almost no pause, and Sefrans-Tann immediately began to devote ground troops to carry out landing operations!
Unlike Galactic Empire, who has always used Acclamator-class assault ship to forcefully break through the defense line and land, Kingdom of Dawn's landing operation is a different style.
Only five Corsev Battlecruisers that looked like coal ships were seen breaking into planet-synchronous orbit under the protection of other battleships, and then thousands of Orbital Drop capsules were launched downward from the landing modules on both sides of the battleships!
These Orbital Drop capsules barely slowed down at all and hit the ground like missiles! In the surrounding area, hundreds of Wraith fighter have also broken through the planet's air defense network and turned on stealth mode to conduct precise bombing of ground air defense positions.
Countless Orbital Drop capsules crashed to the ground, the mini-bombs on the hatch exploded, the airborne capsule disintegrated instantly, and huge figures roared out.
Indjori Avenger Type 103!
This kind of Indjori modified with T-Virus has now become the vanguard of Kingdom of Dawn landing operations. Whenever a landing is launched, these biological weapons rush to the front line, breaking up the Guardian troops on the ground and creating conditions for subsequent landings.
After Indjori Vengeance launched the first wave of landing attacks, the other five Corsev Battlecruiser also began to launch the second wave of Orbital Drop capsules. These Orbital Drop capsules are relatively slower, larger, can accommodate a larger number of soldiers, and are also equipped with Deflector Shield.
And at this moment, 5 GA-TL1 Sword-class Aerial Fortress also took off from Sova-class Carrier. This huge bomber began to carry out further attacks on ground targets, while covering the landing of the second wave of Orbital Drop capsules.
Inside the second wave Orbital Drop cabin are Fourth Legion soldiers!
These extremely elite soldiers were different from those Indjori Vengeance who only knew how to rush randomly. They systematically began to build ground landing sites to create conditions for the landing of transport ships.
Everything is so orderly.
On the night of Galactic Standard Time on October 10, more than 90,000 Kingdom of Dawn Army had landed on Fondor Planet and began to attack under the cover of fighter jets.
However, this time, Sefrans-Admiral Tann also faced the same problem as Das-Vader——
Fondor Planet is also a fortress planet!!
Although the solid defensive forms of the Yago-Dur planet and Fondor Planet are different, the results are the same. Sefrans-Tann found that it was also difficult for them to occupy Fondor Planet in a short period of time!
