2107, Fiery Sky
"Not feasible. Orbital bombardment." However, Master Yoda shook his head and said, "It's against the Republic's constitution, and this will stand against all the people. The Republic will be persuaded to leave the Republic and join the Separatists. "
"Are we going to send our soldiers to Planet Guardian to face that unknown danger?" Governor Pilur asked unhappily.
"Directly attack the capital and industrial center of Planet Guardian, us," Master Yoda said.
"Hmm …" Governor Pilur thought about it and nodded. "Since this is Master Yoda's decision, I agree with this strategy. Inform the ships to attack immediately! Destroy the outer defenses of Planet Guardian!! "
All 54 Hunter-class cruisers immediately split into 10 combat teams and flew towards Planet Guardian at full speed. Planet Guardian was also on standby. With the 12 Guardian Barrier armed space stations as the core, more than 2,000 Aeon Rider I Space Combat Jets and Z-95 Space Combat Jets were orbiting around it.
In the past two years of preparation, Planet Guardian had not slacked off, but due to the limitations of their own technology, the progress they had made could not compare to the Republic's main fleet.
The main weapons on the 12 armed space stations had been replaced with more powerful turbolaser cannons, and the energy shields had been replaced with more powerful energy shields. The armor belts had also been redesigned and arranged to deal with the attacks of energy weapons, and a more efficient heat dissipation structure had been installed. The combat power of these 400-meter-long space stations was now many times stronger than before.
Furthermore, after Tang Yu took over one of Black Sun's leaders in Nar Xada, Vigo Anthony's assets, it included a production line for the Z-95 space combat jets. After analysis and replication, Planet Guardian now had the ability to mass produce Z-95 space combat jets. Although compared to the V-wing combat jets that the Republic currently used, the outdated Z-95 space combat jets were already outdated, the Z-95, which later spawned powerful weapons such as the ARC-170 and X-wing combat jets, was still a very classic design. It was not completely powerless.
After the Hunter Class Cruisers rushed up, the distance between the two sides was quickly reduced to less than 1,000 kilometers. The long-range interstellar missiles equipped on the armed space stations were the first to fire! Hundreds of missiles equipped with nuclear warheads were propelled by plasma thrusters, accelerating to a supersonic speed of more than 10000 meters per second as they flew toward the Republic fleet!
Countless defense turrets immediately opened fire, and countless laser beams lit up the surroundings of the Republic fleet. The densely packed laser beams were well distributed, turning the surroundings of each battleship into a net of death. The missiles were destroyed dozens of kilometers away from the battleships, and did not even have the chance to pose a threat. The only thing that was slightly useful was the 20 or so nuclear missiles that detonated in advance. The radiation and shockwave produced by the detonation of these million-kiloton missiles caused countless ripples on the energy shield of the Republic fleet, but that was all.
Even so, the armed space station continued to fire nuclear missiles, hoping to weaken the Republic fleet as much as possible before they could approach. The distance between the two sides narrowed, and when they were about 500 kilometers apart, the Republic fleet opened fire first. The heavy turbolaser cannons on the Hunter-class cruisers fired dazzling energy beams at the armed space stations that were launching missiles. Soon, the entire battlefield was filled with countless destructive energy beams. The space combat jets of both sides took off and clashed on the battlefield.
Soon, the entire battlefield was filled with destructive energy beams. The space combat jets of both sides also took off and clashed on the battlefield. Almost every second, a few combat jets were hit by the powerful firepower and blown into pieces. But in general, in this battle of space combat jets, the Republic still had the absolute advantage. The Hunter Class Cruisers were a very efficient combat ship, and the Thirteenth Division's cruisers were even more extreme. Their warehouses were filled with all kinds of fighter jets and bombers, and each Hunter Class Cruiser carried 192 different types of fighter jets!
In other words, the entire fleet carried more than 12000 fighter jets, more than five times the number of Planet Guardian's fighter jets! Moreover, the mobility, shield strength, and firepower of the V-wing fighter jets far surpassed the Z-95 fighter jets. Even though some of the Z-95 fighter jets were piloted by human pilots and mechanical life pilots, they were still swatted to death like flies!
A group of Y-wing bombers flew past the wreckage of the Z-95 fighter jets. The airspace was cleared, and the huge space port of Planet Guardian was right in front of them! The turrets on the space port were firing with all their might. The point defense turrets, laser turrets, and turbolaser cannons were all aimed at their respective targets. Hundreds of V-wing fighter jets surrounded the space port like locusts, clearing out the turrets one by one.
These Y-wing bombers successfully got close to the space port and fired their proton torpedoes! The difference between torpedoes and missiles in the space battlefield was explained here. Missiles were faster and more agile, mainly used to deal with moving targets or smaller targets. Torpedoes, on the other hand, had a larger charge and a slower flying speed. They were usually used to deal with fixed targets like galactic fortresses.
The space port that was more than a kilometer long was hit by dozens of proton torpedoes. Almost at the same time, dozens of dark blue proton clouds exploded on the space port. The parts of the space port that were attacked began to visibly collapse. When the collapse reached a certain degree, the space port suddenly began to silently disintegrate! In less than five minutes, the huge spaceport disintegrated into countless pieces!
Not only that, the twelve armed space stations were also destroyed one by one. No matter how much these space ports were modified, they were only in the order of 400 meters long, while the length of the Hunter class cruiser was 1137 meters. Just looking at this size, there was no comparison. What's more, one side was a backward product that had undergone modernization, while the other was the crystallization of the entire galaxy's industry and technology!
Less than two hours after the start of the battle, the outer defensive line of Planet Guardian had been completely destroyed! Then, more than 20 Loreer-class assault landing ships under the escort of more than 10 CR-90 escort ships left the hyperspace and entered the battlefield.
"The capital of Planet Guardian is Yu City, in the middle of an oval-shaped continent. Their two industrial and military bases are on a huge island, called the Australia base, and the other is in a desert, called the Sahara base. "A staff officer next to him explained.
"Focus on attacking Yu City! Divide our forces to suppress the Australia base and the Sahara base, so that the troops of these two bases don't have the strength to support Yu City. As long as we can capture Yu City, we can destroy the will of resistance of the people of Planet Guardian. " Governor Pilur said sternly, "In addition, these few places must be bombed. Even if we don't use orbital bombardment, we must clear a safe landing environment for our troops!"
Master Yoda wanted to say something, but still let out a long sigh and said slowly, "We must end the battle as soon as possible. We must reduce the casualties to a minimum and the innocent civilians of the planet. "
"Attack!! Disembark!! " Under Governor Pilur's order, more than 20 Loreer-class assault landing ships and more than 10 CR-90 escort ships immediately descended into the atmosphere of Planet Guardian! Thousands of fighter jets and bombers also dived down into the atmosphere of the planet!
In the sky above Planet Guardian, red clouds of fire suddenly appeared! This was a spectacular scene formed by the friction in the air caused by the huge size of the battleship when it landed. The anti-orbital cannons installed on the planet also began to retaliate, and countless anti-aircraft missiles soared into the sky, completely dyeing the sky red!!
