The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

938. Battle of the Western Territory: The Battle of Tarastra (Part 1)

Eliadu galaxy, planet 5, gas giant planet, Tarastra, satellite 3.

This is a large satellite with a diameter of more than 1,500 kilometers, the orbital defense position of the Galactic Republic.

In the center of this large crater with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers, more than 500 heavy-duty turbolaser cannons are densely installed. Now all these turbolaser cannons point their muzzles at the sky, and then continuously emit powerful blast energy beams.

With almost every shot, hundreds of scorching bright blaster beams illuminated the satellite for an instant. I can't see the effect of the attack at all here, but I can only see that there is a place in the starry sky that is constantly shining with stars.

In the sky of the satellite, thick beams of light continued to descend from the sky, causing terrifying explosions on the ground. Turbolaser turrets were destroyed by this powerful firepower. A sea of ​​flames that cannot be extinguished in a vacuum.

The originally thin atmosphere of this satellite was directly blown away under this extremely powerful attack, and due to the gravitational effect of the planet Tarastra, a star ring was formed around the satellite, and it was directly connected to the gas giant planet.

The Viking fighter planes and ghost fighter planes of the Fourth Civilization continued to fly over the satellites, and launched powerful cluster missiles.

The more than a thousand near-fire cannons installed on the ridge of the crater also fired wildly at the sky, forming an almost impenetrable net in the sky!

The fighter jets were shot down, the missiles were intercepted, and the gorgeous explosions never stopped in the sky.

During the fierce battle, finally under the fearless combat of the fighter pilots of the Fourth Civilization, 3 Big Ivan super proton torpedoes launched from the Ogre-class torpedo cruiser finally broke through the defense and landed on the satellite!

The light blue proton cloud, which was too dazzling to look directly at, swept everything in an instant! Immediately afterwards, the proton energy collapsed and released, and the entire crater position was completely destroyed at this moment, leaving only a large sea of ​​lava with a diameter of 200 kilometers.

The battle continued in other directions, but when the crater position was destroyed, dozens of surprise landing craft took off from the Kesov-class battlecruiser in outer orbit, and then landed directly on the periphery of the crater position.

The gravity of this satellite is very small, so there is no need for such a powerful force as the Fourth Army, and ordinary army soldiers can also meet the requirements of this low-intensity orbital airborne.

These Fourth Civilization Army fighters wearing fully enclosed Liberator II combat uniforms immediately installed the equipment that was airborne at the same time, established a landing position on the satellite ground, and set up a crustal drilling equipment.

The orbital airdrop is still going on. Under the cover of the Fourth Civilization Fleet and fighter jets, ten crustal drilling equipment have been installed, and then the armies quickly withdraw.

These mining beams sent from the United Mining Group are extremely efficient, and immediately began to operate automatically, drilling more than 100 kilometers deep in just over ten hours! Immediately afterwards, another wave of robots airborne, and these robots directly threw a Big Ivan Super Proton Torpedo through the drilled hole!

It was another gorgeous and terrifying explosion!

Satellite 3 was blown to pieces in just a few minutes! !

During this period of time, the fleet of the 18th Army of the Galactic Republic and the fleet of the Fourth Civilization continued to exchange fire, and the reserve forces of both sides also rushed to replace the wounded warships to continue fighting.

Severance-Tann sent the Kessoff-class battlecruiser to continuously launch orbital airdrops on the five satellite bases of the planet Tarastra, trying to get the airborne troops to install mining beam equipment, and then destroy these satellites directly from the inside.

But Wilhof Tarkin, who had suffered once, also responded immediately. As soon as the Kesoff-class battlecruiser appeared, the fighter jets of the Republic immediately rushed up with the momentum of moths to the flame, preventing them from landing.

Even if they can't stop it, they will send clone troops to carry out anti-landing operations and destroy those mining beam platforms.

Severance Tann uncharacteristically showed great patience during this battle of the Eliadu galaxy. She did not take the risk of launching a surprise attack with high profits and high risks, but fought steadily.

Only at this time did she demonstrate her basic skills as a top student at Keith Naval Academy!

The teaching purpose of the Keith Naval Academy has always been to strike late! As a rare top student and genius among the Chiss, this is Severance Tann's true tactical level. The previous aggressive surprise attack was not actually her housekeeping skill.

The formation of the Fourth Civilization Fleet is airtight, and it keeps moving with the Republic's defense line, ensuring that its own fleet will not be attacked from more than two directions at the same time.

At the same time, every attack she launched was a very complicated joint operation. Even if it is an orbital landing operation, it will be a three-dimensional operation that requires the use of fighter jets, warships to cover, mobile fleets to pull, and fire coverage.

She skillfully used the combat command computer and the assistance of the T-series tactical robots, turned all of this into a part of her own brain, and then incorporated the entire battle into it!

Major General Ling Liang, the deputy commander of the campaign, has been following Severance Tann, learning her combat methods, and at the same time assisting Tann's command with his own methods.

Although the two still don't see each other right, at least for now, when the enemy is at hand, their cooperation is quite harmonious.

If this is not the case, with the orbital defense facilities set up by the 18th Army on the 5 satellites of the planet Tarastra, the fleet of the Fourth Civilization will not be able to support it for a long time after a frontal attack.

...

Planet Glenson, a giant spaceport built for the campaign. This spaceport is a ring with a diameter of more than 10,000 meters, which can accommodate 50 kilometer-class warships at the same time, and perform basic maintenance and supply work

There are two such space stations on the planet Glenson.

White light flashed past, and a Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser instantly escaped from hyperspace and appeared here. Almost at the same time that the battleship left the hyperspace, some areas of the battleship exploded and disintegrated, and the entire battleship was filled with flames and thick smoke.

The Raz-class heavy engineering ship that had been prepared flew over immediately, and grabbed the Dreadnought with a heavy tractor beam. At the same time, the Xingzi-class maintenance drone mothership also began to operate, and the mothership itself flew over and sprayed it in a vacuum. At the same time, thousands of maintenance drones flew out of the drone garage and began to repair the outer shell of the battleship.

The hospital ship was also ready, they affixed to the battleship and sent a rescue team to rescue the crew inside the battleship.
