2759. An anxious battle situation
Dantooine outer space, Dawn's Radiance-class industrial mothership. This industrial mothership was sent here by Kingdom of Dawn after a great effort. Now this industrial mothership is the absolute core of Kingdom of Dawn in Dantooine.
Many combat equipment, including command centers, are built on industrial carriers and sent to ground battlefields.
Kingdom of Dawn Army Admiral Dai Hongkui stood in front of the bridge and stared at the star map with a solemn expression.
He was promoted to Army General last year. When Ling Liang exercised more of Sector Governor's responsibilities in Sothis sector, and Army General Xian Hui gradually began to hand over his responsibilities, Dai Hongkui's promotion came naturally.
However, the status of the army is actually far inferior to that of the navy, so Dai Hongkui, a rare general in the army, is limited to commanding the ground battlefield on Dantooine, a remote planet.
In the current war between Kingdom of Dawn and Galactic Empire, the key to victory for both sides is outer space. It is a fleet battle and a naval stage. Ground battles will basically only break out when the military is unwilling to cause greater damage.
But often times, once the fleet in outer space fails in a decisive battle, the current government on the planet will most likely surrender, so the army was just going through the motions in the past.
It really refused to surrender. Once the fleet blocked the planet, cut off its supplies, and then sent out carrier-based aircraft to carry out targeted bombing, the planet would not be able to sustain it for long.
At other times, maintaining order in occupied areas and suppressing rebellions almost became police work.
It is very rare for the decisive battlefield between the two sides to be on the ground due to various objective factors like Dantooine. Because the hyperspace channels here are very complicated and not suitable for large-scale fleet navigation. In addition, Relics who possesses ancient Sith Empire was found on the planet., Relics of the Infinite Empire, Relics of Jedi Order, and the mineral veins that produce Kyber Crystal all make the warring parties dare not carry out large-scale bombing here.
Therefore, an attack by ground troops became the only option.
However, fierce competition on the ground is one thing, and the battle on the space battlefield is still extremely fierce. Although no large warships were invested, both sides also deployed some small warships to patrol the edge of the orbit to harass the other side's landing fleet and transport fleet.
In fact, Galactic Empire originally had two Victory-class Star Destroyers here, but they were quickly destroyed by Viking fighter. Later, Galactic Empire also changed its strategy and began to deploy small and flexible frigates and fighter jets here.
But having said that, what Kingdom of Dawn suffers from here is that they lack strategy Fulcrum.
Galactic Empire occupies all three large cities on Dantooine - the capital Garang, the former capital Khoonda City, and a large settlement Mosa.
The agricultural areas around these cities are also under their control, which gives them enough labor to quickly start building their own industrial areas. At the same time, almost all spaceports and airports on the planet are under their control.
In the outer space of the planet, there is also a large space station, which can be used as a spaceport and transfer station, and can also deploy a large number of interstellar fighters.
And Kingdom of Dawn can only be produced through the Dawn's Radiance-class industrial mothership, plus a small but elite ground force. They also built a space station at the North Pole of Dantooine, and are still expanding it.
At the same time, Kingdom of Dawn also received support from local residents on the ground. However, the residents who supported them were farmers and miners from remote villages. They rebelled because they were dissatisfied with the Empire's oppression of local residents. Although it was of no use, they could also provide some intelligence or hiding places for Kingdom of Dawn.
For example, the military base built by Kingdom of Dawn in a wasteland in the northern hemisphere benefited from the guidance of local miners and was hidden in intricate underground caves. There is even a vein of rare metals more than 200 meters underground.
At the same time, any movements of Imperial army stationed in those three large cities will be immediately known to Kingdom of Dawn's intelligence system.
As we passed the most difficult period at the beginning, the advantages of Kingdom of Dawn began to gradually emerge.
They first sent a large number of Grey Horse-class escort carrier with a large number of fighter jets, including even 10 Sabre-class fighter!
During the most difficult period, the pilots of Kingdom of Dawn had to live, eat and sleep on the extremely simple Grey Horse-class escort carrier, and had to endure high-intensity sorties every day. Sometimes they had to sorty more than 20 times a day, which was a huge torment for both the body and the spirit.
But they still persisted.
Although Galactic Empire had ten times as many fighters as them, while protecting their own Dawn's Radiance-class industrial mothership and space station, they began to harass Galactic Empire's transportation and supply lines, destroying many the Empire fuel ships and cargo ships, gradually straining their frontline combat capabilities.
These Kingdom of Dawn pilots who have joined Rebirth Plan, facing off against the Galactic Empire fighter jets, are like tigers joining the flock of sheep!
It is this kind of careful calculation that allows Kingdom of Dawn to send more and more ground troops to the battlefield of Dantooine.
It's not that Kingdom of Dawn Navy doesn't want to send more warships, but now Northern Territory is advancing rapidly in the direction of Northern Territory, but its troop strength is very tight.
In order to capture Bilbrin Planet, they even gave up the planet Oud-Mantel. Then Dunn-Vesex almost emptied the planet Oud-Mantel, and Kingdom of Dawn had to invest more materials to rebuild it - because this is an important stronghold for the final attack on Northern Territory's core planet Palin-Minor, and it would not work without rebuilding.
In Battle of Bilbrin Planet and the two Battle of Palancis, Kingdom of Dawn Northern Territory's fleet losses were also very heavy. Not many warships were sunk, but the number of warships injured and in need of repair was very large, which made Northern Territory's industrial production capacity begin to be tight.
Dantooine is very remote after all. If we send the fleet here, it will take a week to go back and forth.
Now Kingdom of Dawn is actually walking a tightrope on Northern Territory, just as before Galactic Empire, Oswald-Tessik According to's judgment, as long as First System Army and Northern Territory Legion launch an attack with all their strength, then Kingdom of Dawn and Northern Fleet have only one option to fully shrink.
But in order to prevent yourself from falling into such a situation, the advice given by Ander-Viking is to continuously launch offensives, always be in an offensive state, and use psychological warfare to frighten Galactic Empire's side, especially Dunn-Vesex.
Taking advantage of the mentality of these Galactic Empire military officials who want to preserve their strength, they dare not come out to fight Kingdom of Dawn even if they have superior troops.
But if the main fleet of Kingdom of Dawn appears in Dantooine, then Dunn-Vesex might have other ideas, such as doing something in Bilbrin Planet before the main fleet returns.
The steel wire must never be broken, Dunn-Vesex must always maintain the mentality of "if you can't fight, you will die if you fight".
But under such circumstances, Chief of Staff Qi Jian actually said that in one month, the battle situation for Dantooine will be decided?
Dai Hongkui frowned, wondering if the Navy would find a way to send some warships here? But Qi Jian's confidence obviously came not only from the Navy's reinforcements, he also hoped that the Army could do more.
That means, Kingdom of Dawn will also send more troops here.
General Dai Hongkui took a deep breath and stared at the holographic battle map in front of him. It can be seen on this that the positions established by Kingdom of Dawn are very scattered, but they form a network structure that supports each other, surrounding Galactic Empire who focuses on defending three cities.
But the disadvantage is that the troops are too dispersed. If Galactic Empire rushes out desperately, it is likely to break through this encirclement network.
He turned back to his adjutant and asked, "How long will it take for the industrial mothership to prepare for the next offensive?"
The adjutant immediately replied, "Another command center with a shield module and other Modular Buildings are currently being built. It is expected that in two days, we will be able to launch an attack again and quickly consolidate the defense line by airdropping Modular Buildings."
"Galactic Empire's troops are increasing. If we hit the iron plate when attacking, the situation will be very bad." Dai Hongkui said, "But... our attack cannot stop. Let Intelligence Department find the weak areas of the Galactic Empire's defense, keep attacking, and keep mobilizing their troops, so that they cannot concentrate their troops."
"Yes!" the adjutant responded immediately.
"In addition, the robot factory also needs to step up its construction. I need them to be able to produce 5,000 B-1 combat robots and at least 500 B-2 super combat robots every day." Dai Hongkui continued, "You arrange this as soon as possible."
"Now Galactic Empire has also noticed that we are producing robots locally, so their reconnaissance troops and air force are patrolling repeatedly, which has affected our raw material transportation." The adjutant said, "The production capacity of combat robots is now only half of our requirements."
Then, he asked in a low voice, "But from Umbrella Corporation, they sent a message again asking if they need to use biological weapons on Dantooine... They have prepared a new type of virus, which is said to be code-named Virus C. They said this can solve our troop strength problem."
"Let them go!" Dai Hongkui suddenly became angry, "If they have the ability to tell this matter to General Staff Headquarters! Look how many of their heads were chopped off by Qi Jian! Did they get some benefit from Fondor Planet? Humph! I will deal with them sooner or later!"
"Yes... I will reject all requests from Umbrella and put our focus on the construction of the robot factory." The adjutant said, "And...Geth..."
"Geth can't do it either!" Dai Hongkui said, "We have finally established a good relationship with the locals, and the help they can provide us is far beyond what Geth and Umbrella can compare! Don't even think about such a thing!"
"I understand." The adjutant withdrew.
Dai Hongkui rubbed his forehead. He had already put on weight before, but now that he came to Dantooine, he had lost more than ten kilograms.
At this moment, a staff officer came over and said, "General, two transport planes suddenly appeared next to our spacecraft and sent a boarding request."
"Transport plane? Suddenly appeared? What is the radar department doing?" Dai Hongkui said angrily, "And which army's transport plane is this? So unruly!?"
"General... it seems to be...Protoss's transport plane." The staff officer said, "But the transport plane is fully automatic, so we couldn't contact the people inside."
"Reinforcements? Let them dock with the loading and unloading platform." Dai Hongkui nodded, then came to the console on the other side, waiting for the docking to be completed, and checking the contents of the transport plane.
These are just two ordinary Protoss transport ships. Strictly speaking, they can't transport much.
However, when Dai Hongkui saw the goods inside, his face became solemn, "What... is this?"
In the past few days, the area around Dantooine has become increasingly busy. Both Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn have stepped up their reinforcements here.
Both sides used their own methods to stabilize the hyperspace channel as much as possible regardless of cost, and built a transfer base in the rear to facilitate the turnover and transportation of materials.
Around the busy rear channel, the battles between the two sides in breaking and counter-attacking, harassing and counter-harassing also began to unfold.
What makes Kingdom of Dawn a little uncomfortable at this time is that since Gillard-Perine has basically recovered from his injuries and started to take charge of Galactic Empire's Northern Territory's defense line again, Imperial army's actions have become obviously much more organized.
Under the instructions of Gillard-Perine, Galactic Empire fleet also launched harassment around the planet Oud-Mantel. The planet's transportation channels were already very tight, and now it is being attacked frequently, and material supplies are even more stretched.
In this regard, Kingdom of Dawn's suggestion, Ander-Viking, is to stay strong in this direction and never show weakness. Therefore, Kingdom of Dawn fleet has also been divided into dozens of small squadrons, constantly entangled with the Galactic Empire.
Therefore, in the direction of Dantooine, Kingdom of Dawn military canceled the plan to increase the fleet, only increased the number of fighter jets and frigates, and still focused on ground combat.
Three days later, when General Dai Hongkui was making plans, organizing and organizing reinforcements in the space station above the North Pole of Dantooine, a low and terrifying voice came from behind him.
"When can I go and twist off the heads of those the Empire people? General Dai Hongkui."
Dai Hongkui turned around, but only saw the opponent's thighs.
The person who came was very tall, about three meters tall, with lavender skin all over his body. He was wearing nothing but a pair of underpants, exposing his iron-like muscles.
"Admiral Ben Tiras San Si Carl, it's a pleasure to meet you here." Dai Hongkui said calmly.
