782. Something went wrong
After this period of continuous fighting, continuous reinforcements, and continuous losses, Fourth Civilization and Terminus Planet's fleet now has 84 warships.
Among them, there are 7 Sova-class Carrier, 15 Kohl-class Battlecruiser, 8 Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, 4 Munificent-class communications frigate, 8 Martha-class heavy cruiser, and 3 Luukri-Hok-class battleship, for a total of 45 large warships.
In addition, there are 25 Garda Flak Frigate ships, 12 Grizzly-class heavy destroyer ships, and 2 Star-class Repair Drone Mothership ships.
As for Galactic Republic, there are 110 large and small warships. Among them, the large warships include 5 Acclamator-class assault ship, 3 Invincible-class battleship, 1 Prosecutor-class battlecruiser, 10 Hunter Class Battlecruiser, and 15 Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, a total of 34 ships.
The others are all small and medium-sized warships such as CR-70 frigates, Corellia DP-20 gunboats, Kallak-class light cruiser, and Aquitenes-class light cruiser.
In general, the fleets of both sides are close in strength, and no one can do anything to the other.
In fact, the original fleet of Fourth Civilization, under the command of Matt-Hona, had already severely damaged Republic fleet and had the advantage. However, Galactic Republic, under the command of the 18th Army Governor Wilhuff-Tarkin, relied on his own strong industrial power to forcefully pull back Republic fleet, who was about to be defeated, by using refueling tactics.
Then a large number of battleships and officers and soldiers were used to fill it directly, using life and steel to delay time, giving Republic fleet the opportunity to gather more battleships.
After suffering greater losses, Republic fleet was able to gain a foothold in Terminus Planet's outer space. But in the case of Wilhuff-Tarkin, he can completely accept the battle loss of 5 Hunter Classs for 1 Kohl-class, but the question is, can Dawn Star Planet?
Let alone Dawn Star Planet, judging from the final result of this Clone Wars that will last for 3 years, even Confederacy of Independent Systems cannot bear it!
It was under such circumstances that the battle between the two sides became such a meat grinder. Almost everyone is not optimistic that Dawn Star Planet can win this battle - because they are facing Galactic Republic.
Now, Matt-Hona is about to break this situation.
He wants to win!
With the dazzling light like the sun produced by the launch of Kohl-class Battlecruiser's 40-meter caliber Hypermatter Railgun, the general attack begins!
The fleets on both sides continued to approach and opened fire with their strongest firepower!
Fighters from both sides also took off, flying around the battlefield like locusts, pouring out missiles and Proton Torpedo.
Republic Fleet, as usual, occupies Terminus Planet low-Earth orbit. On the one hand, it blocks the possible Orbital Bombardment of Fourth Civilization fleet, and on the other hand, it is also to unleash the firepower of the orbital defense system on the planet.
In the past, Fourth Civilization fleet's offensive would have been much more cautious, but now, their offensive is crazy! I don't care about Republic fleet's defense methods at all. There is only one word, attack!
While the battle in space was unfolding, Core Worlds, Terminus Planet on the ground battlefield, the western suburbs of the capital Fermos City, and Fourth Civilization Army finally began to attack!
In the previous battle, they almost threw out almost two-thirds of the combat robots, just to cooperate with the battle plan. So now, those who launch the attack are almost all Fourth Civilization Army warriors.
Galactic Republic clone army immediately put into defense. In the past few days, they increased the number of Clone Trooper defending the Fermos battlefield to 8,000 people. Almost three-fifths of the Clone Army on the planet have been deployed here. Coupled with more than 10,000 mercenaries, their strength can now be said to be very sufficient.
Siege Tank's 180mm caliber siege cannon roared, the cluster rockets launched by Banshee Fighter fell like raindrops, Wraith fighter fought in the sky, and Mammoth Armored Personnel Carrier roared into the battlefield loaded with army soldiers.
This is an extremely cruel contest!
But as soon as this battle started, it suddenly changed.
When Fourth Civilization Army launched the attack, the mercenaries who had been brave and fearless when resisting the robot army's offensive now dispersed and ran away!
This run actually doesn't matter to the elite Clone Trooper. They have long been accustomed to fighting surrounded by powerful enemies. However, the most deadly thing is that as soon as these mercenaries escape, large gaps will be opened on the battlefield!
Not only are there gaps on the ground, but there are also gaps in the air defense zones manned by mercenary spaceships!
Fourth Civilization Army As if they had known this result for a long time, almost all their armored and mechanized forces were concentrated in the direction of those mercenaries!
These mechanized corps crossed at high speed, passed through the mercenary positions, formed a pincer-shaped offensive, penetrated directly behind the Clone Army, and attacked Fermos City!
And Fourth Civilization Air Force, whose pressure suddenly eased, immediately seized the opportunity to launch a fierce air attack on Republic army's artillery position.
All of this was naturally arranged by Hutt gangster, Oruba-Goresla.
With his influence in the underworld, it is definitely impossible to make those mercenaries risk their lives, violate the contract and betray Galactic Republic on the battlefield, but it is absolutely no problem to give them an extra sum of money to let them escape from the battlefield.
Being able to escape on the battlefield, not only will no one be punished, but you can also get another bounty? Where can I find such a good thing! What's more, this is an order from the gangster Hutt, which is much more effective than administrative orders or military orders.
Those mercenaries may not listen to Galactic Republic, they may not listen to Confederacy of Independent Systems, but it is absolutely impossible not to listen to Hutt.
Clone Army realized that the situation was not good, and they immediately began to retreat in an orderly manner, trying to break through the encirclement before the encirclement closed, and returned to Fermos City to start street fighting.
These extremely elite warriors actually did it.
Clone Trooper first gathered his own armored troops and fought hard to block Fourth Civilization mechanized forces's assault. With his physical fitness that was almost the limit of human beings and his instinctive fighting consciousness, he withstood Fourth Civilization mechanized forces's attack, winning valuable time for the following infantry units.
They began to withdraw to Fermos City one after another. Now most of the civilians in the city have been evacuated, and almost every building has been temporarily reinforced and has become a fortress.
Here, according to the plan, will become another meat grinder, the meat grinder that makes Fourth Civilization Army bleed dry!
However, Republic commander did not notice what those mercenaries brought with them when they came, and what they left behind when they fled from the battlefield...
Even at this time, Republic commander also failed to notice that the Mass Driver that Matt-Hona had previously built on the satellite to launch metal garbage, following the rotation of the satellite, was now pointing towards the battlefield where warships from both sides were strangled.
Yes, the time and place to launch the attack were carefully calculated.
Of course, Republic commander wouldn't care about the Mass Driver, which has little power and can only be used to throw some metal garbage at the planet. Because this thing poses no threat to battleships.
But they were wrong again. What was inside Mass Driver was not artillery shells.
