676. The downfall of the 19th Army (Part 1)
"For now, I like a boss like you very much. From the first moment I saw you, I understood that we are the same kind of people." Gabriel-Tosh spoke word by word, with a strange rhythm. "Cold-blooded, efficient, and unscrupulous. However, Voodoo told me that you have a mask on your face. I like you, but I don't like the mask."
"You should understand where you and I are, Tosh. I very much hope that I won't show that side to you." Tang Xiao said lightly, "Now, you should get in touch with Sefrans-Tann, and then cooperate with her to win Hoth Planet."
"I will not obey anyone's command! Including you. But I like you, so I listen to you, and my asking price will be very high." Tosh said.
"I can satisfy any reasonable offer you make, Tosh. Well, okay, then your first commission is to capture Hoth Planet. After that, 5 million credit points will be credited to your account." Tang Xiao said, "I only have one condition - I must be able to contact you at any time."
"This business is very good." The butterfly knife in Tosh's hand curled up and disappeared into his sleeve. Then red energy waves appeared around his body, and the whole person disappeared out of thin air. "Hoth Planet is in chaos and out of control. Give me 3 hours."
Tang Xiao thought of something and asked in the direction where the communication had not been cut off but the projection was empty, "How... do you see this world?"
"Here is Voodoo's desert, but beneath the desert lies the sea." Tosh's voice came from the air.
"Voodoo? the Force? I don't think so." Tang Xiao said.
"You are a person who lives in the oasis. You don't understand that this world is hungry for Voodoo." Another sentence came in the air, and then the communication was cut off.
Outer Rim Territories, Greater Javin Region (Greater Javin Region), Republic 19th Army Headquarters, Hoth Planet (Javin).
This is the home planet of Mugali (Mugaari). It was once prosperous, but it was abandoned a few hundred years ago due to a series of conflicts between Mugali and Galactic Republic. Many Mugali left their homes and became miners and bounty Hunter.
But because this planet is rich in resources and has a suitable environment, and it is also an important part of the end of Corellian Trade Route, soon, a large number of businessmen from Galactic Republic came back, making this planet prosperous again.
Until now, this is still the star district where Galactic Republic and Outer Rim Territories have a very stable position. Even if Count Dooku's Separatist Movement made a big fuss before, Greater Javin Region is still absolutely loyal to Galactic Republic.
Currently, Hoth Planet has a total population of 1.5 billion, but one-third of them are still Mugali, and the rest are basically humans.
Galactic Republic's 19th Army set its headquarters in Hoth Planet because the transportation, materials and political environment here are very ideal.
But now, Hoth Planet is finally facing the end!
The original defense layout according to the Republic 19th Army was to set up a large number of Interdictor in the hyperspace channel between Bespin Planet-Hoth Planet, and to establish a military base at Gerrenthum Planet. The main purpose was to delay time. Because there are actually no other enemies in this direction except Dawn Star Planet who occupies Bespin Planet.
Later, because Planet Kaal was a very important economic center, 19th Army focused on the defense of Planet Kaal. Not only did it build four heavily armed space stations, but it also deployed heavy troops. Mainly because in this direction, there are not only threats from Dawn Star Planet, but also other threats such as Gran from Kinyen. Originally, this direction was the main battlefield in Sulama's strategic plan.
However, after the first Bespin Planet battle, 19th Army's deployment was completely disrupted. However, Sulama and Admiral Magellan still had the dream of defensive counterattack, so they worked hard to manage the Planet Kaal defense line and prepared to attack from here in all directions to maintain the unity of Galactic Republic.
Wishful thinking was very good, but in the second battle of Bespin Planet, the main fleet of the 19th Army was completely destroyed in one battle, and all the strategic arrangements were in vain.
After Sulama was ordered to return to Hoth Planet to take charge of the overall situation, because Admiral Magellan was dead and he himself had no military talent, he could only continue the previous strategy. The direction of Bespin relies on Interdictor to delay time, and at the same time intends to rely on solid defense on the Planet Kaal defense line to fight Dawn Star Planet's fleet decisively.
This plan was good at the beginning. Dawn Star Planet Fleet B can only slowly clean up those Interdictors that cover a range of more than 5 light years. They keep jumping into hyperspace and are constantly terminated by blockers, and then keep clearing the blockers.
Moreover, Planet Kaal's line of defense really gave Fleet A, whose small business could not suffer too much losses, a headache.
But things changed when Sefrans-Admiral Tann returned from Christophsis. She directly led 5 Kohl-class Battlecruiser and 5 Sova-class Carrier into the chaotic hyperspace sub-channel tributaries. This level of sub-channel is completely trivial to Sefrans-Tann who grew up in Unknown Regions and have long faced the unpredictable hyperspace.
So, caught off guard, 10 Dawn Star Planet large battleships appeared in Hoth Planet's outer space, which was almost unprepared!
The people on Hoth Planet suddenly fell into chaos. At this time, Sulama, as Legion Governor, also showed his ability and successfully stabilized the situation. He activated Planetary Shield and the orbital defense system to prepare for a stubborn resistance.
At this moment, without warning, Sulama died in his heavily protected Governor's Mansion!
The leaderless 19th Army once again fell into chaos. The soldiers fighting on the front line did not even receive any instructions for a whole day, and all inquiries were as if they were lost in the sea. Without command, these troops could only stand by and miss the last chance to save Hoth Planet.
Galactic Standard Time, the night of August 17th.
The fleets of Sefrans-Tann occupied seven spaceports outside Hoth Planet, cutting off all connections between Hoth Planet and the outside world.
In the early morning of the next day, Fourth Civilization B Fleet 10 warships began to use high-yield nuclear bombs to carry out Hoth Planet's Planetary Shield's Orbital Bombardment. The planet's orbital defense system fought back desperately, but the fleet was very flexible under the command of Tann. She was not in a hurry to capture the planet quickly, but slowly teased her prey like a cat catching a mouse.
