2108 The Guardian Planet Air Battle
Tens of thousands of V-wing fighter jets fought in the atmosphere of the Guardian Planet. This battle was even more brutal and bloody than the previous battle in outer space.
All the anti-air weapons available on the Guardian Planet were used. Air Mount Type II fighter jets and Honeycomb UAVs took off one after another. Even the tens of thousands of mechanical squids sent from 0-1 country were sent to the battlefield. The sky was densely packed. Almost every second, a large number of aircraft took off from the planet to join the battle.
More than a meter long Wasp drones took off from the UAVs like real locusts. They flew in groups of hundreds toward each invading Republic fighter jet. There were no fancy moves. They just surrounded the invading Republic fighter jets from all directions, attacking with miniature missiles, using small laser guns, or simply ramming into them.
The Air Mount Type II fighter jets were still the greatest threat to the V-wing fighter jets in atmospheric battles. They could fly at hypersonic speeds, break into the battlefield at extremely high speeds, and launch deadly air-to-air missiles. The Republic's fighter jets soon discovered this, and they began to focus their attacks on the airports on the Guardian Planet.
The huge 794 meter body of the UAVs wreaked havoc everywhere on the Guardian Planet, sweeping everything in its path. The powerful turbolaser cannons might not show much in the face of the equally powerful energy shields of the enemy warships on the battlefield in space, but the terror of this weapon could only be seen when it attacked the ground.
Buzz ~ Swoosh ~ A turbolaser fired a green energy beam at the anti-air missile position on a hill on the ground. The thick energy beam swept across the ground, instantly blasting a terrifying ravine more than 200 meters long and more than 50 meters wide. The three groups of surface-to-air missiles in the entire anti-air missile formation, as well as the five Horned Dragon tanks and more than a hundred T-2 Combat Robots equipped with anti-air missiles and cannons were instantly annihilated by this one attack!
Boom! Boom! Boom! After a Honeycomb UAVs ran out of drones, it was hit by a proton torpedo launched by a Y-wing bomber. It capsized and fell in the violent explosion. There were also three fortress-class sky fortresses built in imitation of the BNK-3R that were also shot down by the powerful firepower of a CR-90 escort ship. With the powerful air superiority of the Republic, this 150-meter-long multi-purpose escort ship also exerted the power of an air overlord in the atmosphere of the guardian planet.
Airports, radar stations, and supply centers were targeted and destroyed one by one. Even some airports hidden underground were found and destroyed with proton torpedoes.
In the past two years, the technology of the Guardian planet had also made great progress, including major breakthroughs in quantum computers and electronics. Naturally, it would not be like when they first arrived in this world, where Wilhoff Tarkin brought five Hunter-class cruisers to visit and directly paralyze the electronic system of the entire planet.
With the current Guardian Planet, even if they were to face the entire Republic's 13th Army fleet, they could still ensure smooth command and communication within their control range. Even so, the Republic's fleet could still scan every region of the planet with a strong energy signature. In this regard, it was just like when Tang Yu conquered the world of "Alien vs. Predator". The Predator fleet invaded Earth and locked down all the high-threat weapons and equipment on Earth in an instant.
More recently, in the Battle of Geonosis three months ago, the Republic's fleet used the same targeted attack to destroy the Confederation's air force in the first wave of air strikes. This was the most powerful aspect of the Galactic Republic!
Because even if Tang Yu had the full support of the Independent Star Federation, even the Independent Star Federation itself mainly focused on civilian technology. The real cutting-edge technology would always be in the control of the few galaxies in the core circle of the Republic. This included the Corellian Sector, the Kuat Power Dock, the Lendili Interstellar Dynamics Company, and the rising star Sina Fleet Technology Company. These places were places that the Independent Star Federation could not penetrate, at least not now.
After all, the number of Air Mount Type II fighter jets was limited. Under the Republic's focused attack on the airport, more than 6,000 fighter jets were shot down, not a single one left! When Jane Connor found out that his secret airport would also be attacked, he had no choice but to send the Dragon Mount Type IV aircraft for ground attack to take off and fight. The result was the same — all of them were shot down.
This terrifying aerial battle lasted for three whole days. With the North American continent where Yu City was located as the core, the two main military bases in Australia and the Sahara also became battlefields. The sky was red almost every moment, and it was almost impossible to distinguish between day and night. In these three days of aerial battle, more than 30000 aircraft of various types were destroyed on the Guardian Planet, including a large number of large aircraft such as the Sky Fortresses and the Honeycomb Drone Carrier. As for their opponents, the Republic's fleet, of the 12000 or so fighter aircrafts that had been deployed, had been destroyed, with more than 4,000 of them shot down. Two CR-90 multi-purpose escort ships had been destroyed and two heavily damaged, while three Loreer-class assault ships had been heavily damaged and forced to land on the ground.
After the initial collapse of the Guardian Planet's air power, the Republic began to launch a large number of LAAT gunships from the Huarer-class assault landing ships. These gunships had two spherical all-angle laser turrets that could provide powerful ground attack power. At the same time, they could also carry up to 30 clone soldiers. These LAAT gunships wreaked havoc in the air, accurately destroying every marked enemy target or directly landing to occupy those tactical points.
Now, these LAAT gunships began to purposefully clear the network nodes on the Guardian Planet. If the Guardian Planet's army could still maintain communication under the powerful electronic warfare attacks, then with these network nodes destroyed, their communication would truly be cut off!
Of course, there was an exception, and that was the Path of Sublimation network that existed based on Tang Yu's mechanical domain! The Sacred Mountain!
…
The capital of the Guardian Planet, Yu City.
Countless anti-aircraft firepower almost completely filled the entire sky. Anti-aircraft cannons and anti-aircraft missiles of various calibers were fired into the sky like they were free. Explosive beams, laser beams, tracer grenades, diffusion grenades. The sky above the city was now a veritable hell. The anti-aircraft firepower was so dense that even a fly flying in the sky would be shot down!
Those buildings that were built with the war environment in mind, so they were incomparably sturdy, were densely packed with countless Mechanical Lives! They did not care at all if they would all be killed in one shot because they were too densely packed. What they needed to consider was how to maximize their firepower!
Around Yu City, five Huarer-class assault landing ships were constantly firing turbo lasers and missiles outside the city. However, even these huge ships did not dare to fly directly above Yu City. In the outskirts of Yu City, a crashed spaceship stabbed into the ground diagonally was the outcome!
50 kilometers away from Yu City, four landing ships had already landed on the ground. A large number of clone soldiers in white armor walked down from the spaceships in neat phalanxes. There were also all kinds of war machines, including AT-TE all-terrain tactical assault walkers, AT-ST all-terrain reconnaissance walkers, AV-7 self-propelled cannons, and so on!
The battle of Yu City was about to begin!
