787.Orbital Drop (Part 2)
Licker hiding in the darkness has become the biggest trouble for Republic army. These silent hunters can appear from almost any place and then suddenly jump out to attack.
Although Licker's sharp claws cannot penetrate Republic clone troopers's battle armor, they can throw soldiers to the ground and then attack the weak areas at the seams of the armor frantically.
Moreover, now stationed at Fermos City are not only Clone Trooper, but also a large number of Terminus Planet's local garrison troops!
If Clone Trooper can form a small team to resist on the spot when facing Orbital Drop or Licker in the dark, these local garrison troops are completely a side effect.
They were panicked when faced with Orbital Drop and had no idea what to do. It is common to see a group of hundreds of soldiers not even resisting after a raiding spaceship crashes down, but just shouting and scattering.
At this moment, less than an hour after the Orbital Drop operation started, Fourth Civilization Army had already controlled more than one-third of the city, and the control area was still increasing rapidly.
Republic army Can't even find the retreat route!
This is the power of Orbital Drop!
If the 6,000 Fourth Legion elites and more than 2,000 Indjori Avenger Type 101 put into the battlefield were placed on the frontal battlefield, it would be absolutely impossible to make such progress.
Because Clone Army had already deployed in-depth defense in the western suburbs of Fermos City in the direction of the Fourth Civilization Army's advance. In addition to using robots to dig some trenches, a large number of sandbags were also used to surround the buildings to form a large number of firepower points.
By the way, when the number of portable laser fences is insufficient, Republic army will still use a large number of sandbags as bunkers. Among all the materials readily available, sand is still the best material for cushioning and cooling, and it also has a good effect on the shooting of Blaster rifle.
And not only did Galactic Republic clone army bring a large number of AT-TE walkers and AV-7 self-propelled artillery, but Terminus Planet's local garrison was also equipped with a large number of artillery and mortars - produced by Santa Claus.
That's right, the name Yuri-Orlov, the name Santa Claus, can be said to be as popular as a donkey in the black market of the galaxy. This is not because of the scale of his arms business, but because of another characteristic.
While other arms dealers are still mainly smuggling some Blaster rifle, grenades or small spacecraft, Yuri-Orlov has a soft spot for those heavy firepower weapons.
Howitzers, mortars, rocket launchers and even rocket launchers!
Although these are very ancient gunpowder weapons, they do not affect their power.
Anyway, when a 155mm grenade falls, it doesn't care whether you are Third Reich SS or Galactic Republic clones. It treats everyone equally and all living beings are equal.
The contraband among this kind of contraband is naturally strictly controlled by Galactic Republic, but now that the war has broken out, no one can care about it.
Yuri-Orlov's business is getting bigger and bigger. He even opened his own black factories in some places to specialize in the production of various cannon grenades.
Terminus Planet is one of the bulk customers of Yuri-Orlov.
Under such a defense, if Fourth Civilization Army wants to advance forward, it will inevitably face this crazy long-range firepower. Even if they broke through the western suburbs defense line, Galactic Republic soldiers had already built countless firepower points and defense lines in the city.
This kind of defense line is highly recognized by even famous generals like Wilhuff-Tarkin. He believes that it will take at least a year for these Separatist army to capture Fermos City.
The premise is that they have so many soldiers' lives to fill this meat grinder-like battlefield.
Coupled with the anxiety on the space battlefield, now in Terminus Planet, Dawn Star Planet is basically a lone army fighting against the Galactic Republic 18th Army who is constantly receiving support. The strength of both sides is clear at a glance.
Galactic Republic mainstream media is already exaggerating the victory of Battle of Terminus. They spare no effort to promote it and rack their brains to come up with various eye-catching titles.
[shock! Governor Tarkin people are lying on the hospital bed, and the merit comes from heaven!]
[19th Army's great revenge is avenged, with just one word from this person!]
[A famous expert angrily stated a hundred reasons and concluded that Dawn Star Planet will not survive next week!]
[Tracing back to the road to victory, Chancellor Palpatine actually started preparing 10 years ago!]
[The biggest mistake of Governor Tarkin is overestimating Dawn Star Planet!]
[Who made 19th Army Governor Sulama's widow burst into tears? Sachima means not marrying anyone other than Tarkin!]
[A professor surnamed Yang from a medical laboratory said that Governor of Dawn Star Planet Tang Xiao suffers from war addiction. If he is captured alive, he can be sent for electrotherapy at a 20% discount.]
In such a warm atmosphere, all Galactic Republic people who care about the war are waiting for when this inevitable victory will appear.
Correspondingly, Confederacy of Independent Systems is extremely pessimistic about this. Count Dooku has even given instructions to tell Tang Xiao, who has just arrived to visit Laxus Sub-planet, that if necessary, Dawn Star Planet can shrink the front line, even if it gives up the former 19th Army headquarters Hoth Planet, it is acceptable.
He also vowed that once General Grievous's war in Bosavic Planet ends, he will personally lead the fleet to besiege 18th Army and help Dawn Star Planet escape.
Everyone in the entire galaxy knows that Dawn Star Planet cannot afford to delay it, and everyone also knows that Dawn Star Planet cannot solve it quickly.
So the result is very clear - Dawn Star Planet is bound to fail.
But now, Matt-Hona, with the full support of Tang Xiao, told everyone with two life-and-death gambles in space and on the ground...
In this battle, we Fourth Civilization...
A sure win!!
Countless raiding spaceships fell from the sky like rain of fire. The hatches opened, and the angry Fourth Legion soldiers and the bloodthirsty Indjori Vengeance killed directly at the unprepared Republic army!
The AV-7 self-propelled artillery position was destroyed, the quadruple blaster cannon anti-aircraft position was burning, and the wreckage of the AT-TE walker was billowing smoke.
Under the Orbital Drop tactics, there was no longer any point of view on the entire battlefield, and the closely protected artillery positions and anti-aircraft firepower points were destroyed one by one.
The trenches lost their function, the carefully set up crossfire was useless, and the strategic reserves became frontline troops in an instant!
Almost every place is burning, almost every place is fighting. There is no longer any battle line in the entire battlefield, there are only fighting and hand-to-hand combat!
On the front, Fourth Civilization Army also launched a full-scale attack!
Republic army no longer has an organization, but they do!
Republic army doesn't have long-range fire support, but they do!
They would not give Republic army time to deal with the Orbital Drop troops, but launched an attack while they were at their most confused and weakest!
If the strongest thing about Republic clone troopers is their physical fitness and tactical literacy, they can remain calm even when facing ten times the number of robot armies.
But now, the tactical quality of the Fourth Legion soldiers is no less than theirs, and the physical fitness of Indjori is even more direct!
After passing Orbital Drop, Clone Trooper had to face those Indjori Vengeance at close range who were so huge that they were not even afraid of Blaster rifle's shooting.
They wouldn't stand a chance...
