677. The downfall of the 19th Army (Part 2)
For the residents of Hoth Planet, this is destined to be a sleepless night.
Violent flashes of light continued to flash in the sky, just like the sun that could not be seen directly, almost lighting up the entire sky. What followed was a light blue light curtain, which was the light of Planetary Shield blocking the nuclear bombing.
From time to time, fighter jets and spaceships can be seen taking off to attack, but none of them can come back.
The giant cannons of the orbital defense system are also constantly bombarding the sky, but people don't know whether such attacks are effective. At least, the bombing from space has never stopped.
After the Global Radio station broadcast the news for less than 10 minutes, the signal was suddenly interrupted. People living nearby saw a large number of military police quickly surrounding the place. However, the Commander of these military police were killed by mysterious people. After falling into chaos, they were greeted by a violent explosion.
Several of the city's highest-level prisons on Hoth Planet were attacked one after another. Someone killed all the guards in a short time and opened the door. As the headquarters of the 19th Army, many extremely vicious felons were imprisoned inside, and these people escaped one after another.
What's even more deadly is that many of these felons are Mugali! Moreover, many are political prisoners!
Hundreds of years ago, Mugali once stood up to resist the rule of Galactic Republic, but was quickly suppressed. This is why a large number of Mugali left their homes.
Even after a large influx of humans brought huge amounts of capital, the planet developed rapidly, and its political environment continued to move closer to Galactic Republic, eventually becoming one of the most stable planets ruled by Galactic Republic in Outer Rim Territories, but it still could not conceal the hostility of many Mugali towards Galactic Republic.
Among Hoth Planet's total population of 1.5 billion, Mugali accounts for one-third, 500 million people!
If in the past, when Galactic Republic's rule was very stable, these Mugali had no ideas, then now, Republic 19th Army is in danger of defeat, and those extremists who were imprisoned have been released again. The result can be imagined!
At the same time, 20 warships that looked like buckets appeared in front of Planet Kaal's 19th Army defense line.
These warships are 310 meters long and look like a stubby bucket. From the appearance, they have no armament except for 6 close-range anti-aircraft guns that provide basic protection capabilities.
These battleships stopped very far away from the Planet Kaal defense line. Then four huge launch ports were opened on the battleship. Along with a violent wave of anti-matter energy, four huge missiles were fired directly!
This is really a huge missile, 50 meters long and 6 meters in diameter. The missile itself is bigger than most frigates!
After a while, the warships fired missiles again.
This is Fourth Civilization's sharp weapon—Ogrov Torpedo Cruiser (Ogrov Torpedo Cruiser)! It is a special warship used by the Emergency Traders Alliance in "Sins of a Solar Empire" to attack strong interstellar bases. The warship is 310 meters long, has a crew of 150 people, and is equipped with 6 close-range anti-aircraft guns and four large missile launchers, with 50 rounds of ammunition.
The missile launched by Ogrov Torpedo Cruiser is an extremely enlarged version of Proton Torpedo, developed by the diligent Vaxian. There is no technical content, it is just extremely powerful. It is equipped with a shield generator, some induced bombs, an anti-jamming system, and even no guidance.
This makes this giant Proton Torpedo, which Tang Xiao personally named 'Big Ivan', completely incapable of attacking warships. However, it is very effective to attack interstellar bases, armed space stations, Death Star, Midpoint Station, etc. Such fixed targets are very effective.
50 meters in length and 6 meters in diameter, it is filled with proton warheads. The power of the explosion is simply insane!
Vaxian seems to be particularly talented at such silly, big, black and thick things, as is Agonev-class star base, and so is this giant Proton Torpedo. This makes Tang Xiao always feel that they actually have the traditional artistic skills of Lao Maozi.
After the first wave of Big Ivan Super Proton Torpedo was launched, Matt-Hona immediately led the fleet towards the defenders on the Planet Kaal defense line. His goal was to prevent these defenders from intercepting Big Ivan.
Now Planet Kaal's defenders have only 10 Hunter Class Battlecruiser and about 100 small warships left. The number of fighter jets is less than 5,000, and most of them are driven by new pilots. They are completely unable to deal with the powerful Fleet A attack by Matt-Hona.
Martha-class heavy missile cruiser After a salvo of missiles, a large group of Wraith fighter Wraith fighter rushed forward and attacked all Galactic Republic fighters that wanted to intercept Big Ivan. At the same time, Kohl-class Battlecruiser also began to fire on the armed space station, leaving them no room to spare more artillery fire to intercept Super Proton Torpedo.
With a burst of light blue light flashing violently, the first Big Ivan Super Proton Torpedo hit one of the armed space stations. The terrible proton cloud collapsed, generating extremely powerful energy. Then came the second and third one!
The shield of the armed space station was quickly defeated, and then the space station itself could not support it for long.
In the violent explosion, the first space station exploded and disintegrated.
Galactic Standard Time On the afternoon of August 18, Matt-Hona led Fourth Civilization, Fleet A through the ruined Planet Kaal defense line. When the defense line collapsed, Planet Kaal had already announced its surrender.
At 19:12 on the evening of August 18, 50 warships Fleet A left the hyperspace channel and appeared in the outer orbit of Hoth Planet, joining the raid fleets of Sefrans-General Tann.
At 21:27, Fleet A started Orbital Bombardment on Planetary Shield of Hoth Planet.
At 22:45, Hoth Planet announced its surrender.
Matt-Admiral Horner and Sefrans-Tann took a shuttle and landed in the sector capital of Hoth Planet, receiving control of the planet and the head of former Governor Sulama.
Galactic Republic's 19th Army, codenamed Dark Saber (Dark Saber), was established on May 23. It was destroyed when Fourth Civilization captured the capital on August 18. It only existed for less than 3 months in total.
The next day, Mugali on Hoth Planet announced the establishment of an independent government and became a member of Fourth Civilization, and publicly announced that he had joined Confederacy of Independent Systems.
Even though this had been expected, the destruction of the 19th Army made Galactic Republic very nervous. Supreme Strategic Command searched for ways to raise a number of fleets, including Inquisitor-class warship and Invincible-class warship are both old warships. They go to Eriadu and hand them over to the 18th Army to resist the attack of Dawn Star Planet.
When these fleets arrived, in the governor's capital located in the capital of the Eriadu 18th Army sector, a middle-aged man with a high hairline, thin cheeks, and sharp eyes, like an eagle, was looking out the window at the dark night sky with his hands behind his back.
"I will give you all the support, with only one goal - to destroy Dawn Star Planet! I don't want to leave anyone alive." Das-Sidious's distorted voice came from the holographic projection behind him, "You are the best general on my side, I believe you can do it...Wilhuff-Tarkin."
