Chapter 2107 The Fiery Red Sky
2107: Flaming Sky
"Impossible, orbital bombing." Master Yoda shook his head and said: "It violates the Constitution of the Republic, and it will stand on the opposite side of all the people, making the Republic. It will persuade more galaxies to leave the Republic, separatists."
"Are we going to throw our soldiers on the guardian planet to face the unknown danger?" Governor Biruel asked angrily.
"Assault the capital and industrial center of the guardian planet directly, we." Master Yoda said.
"Well..." Governor Biruer thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then since it is Master Yoda's decision, I also agree with this strategy. Inform all ships and attack immediately! Destroy the outer defense of the guardian planet!!"
All 54 hunter-class cruisers were immediately divided into 10 battle groups, and flew towards the guardian planet at full speed with full power. The guardian planet is also ready for battle, with twelve guardian fortress armed space stations as the core, surrounded by more than 2,000 Space Knight-1 space fighters and Z-95 space fighters.
During the two years of preparations, Guardian Planet has not slacked off, but limited to its own technological strength, the progress it has made is still not comparable to the main fleet of the Republic.
The main weapons on the twelve armed space stations have been replaced with more powerful turbolaser cannons, the energy shields have also been replaced with deflector shields with stronger defenses, and the armor belts have also been redesigned and arranged. Taking into account the attack of energy weapons more, a more efficient heat dissipation structure has been installed. Compared with the previous form, the current combat effectiveness of these space stations with a length of more than 400 meters is not known how many times stronger.
And after Tang Yu received one of the leaders of the Black Sun in Nashada, Vigo-Antonion's industry, which also included a Z-95 starfighter production line, after analysis and copying, the Guardian Planet now has The ability to mass produce the Z-95 fighter. Although there is a generation difference between the outdated Z-95 fighters and the V-wing fighters commonly used by the Republic, this Z-95, which has since derived powerful weapons such as the ARC-170 and X-wing fighters, is still a very classic The design is not completely useless.
After the Jaeger-class cruiser rushed up, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed to less than 1,000 kilometers. The long-range interstellar missiles equipped on the armed space station fired first! Hundreds of missiles equipped with nuclear warheads, propelled by plasma propulsion, accelerated at an extremely fast speed to a hypersonic speed of more than 10,000 meters per second and flew towards the Republic Fleet!
Countless point defense turrets opened fire immediately, and countless laser beams immediately lit up the surroundings of the Republic's fleet, densely packed and reasonably distributed, turning every battleship's surroundings into a net of death. Each missile was destroyed tens of kilometers away from the battleship,
No chance at all to pose a threat. The only thing that has a little effect is the premature detonation of more than 20 nuclear missiles. The radiation and shock waves generated after the detonation of these million-equivalent missiles also caused countless ripples on the deflector shield of the Republic Fleet, but that's all.
But even so, the armed space station is still constantly launching nuclear missiles, trying to weaken their strength as much as possible before the Republic fleet approaches. The distance between the two sides got closer, and when the distance was about 500 kilometers, the Republic Fleet opened fire first, and the heavy turbolaser cannon on the Jaeger-class cruiser fired a dazzling blast energy beam at the armed space stations that were firing missiles. Soon, the space station ran out of missile stocks, and the turbolaser turrets began to fire back.
Immediately, the entire battlefield space was filled with countless destructive blast energy beams, and the space fighters of both sides also took off one after another, entangled together on the battlefield. Almost every second, several fighter planes were hit by powerful firepower and were blown up into countless pieces. But generally speaking, in this contest of space fighters, the Republic still holds the absolute advantage. The Jaeger-class cruiser is a very efficient combat ship, and the cruiser of the Thirteenth Army is even more extreme. The warehouse is filled with various fighter jets and bombers. Each Jaeger-class cruiser is equipped with 192 aircraft of various types. fighter!
In other words, the entire fleet is equipped with more than 12,000 fighters, which is more than five times the number of guardian star fighters! Moreover, the V-wing fighter far exceeds the Z-95 fighter at that time in terms of maneuverability, shield strength and firepower. Although these Z-95 fighters piloted by some human pilots and some mechanical life pilots tried their best to resist, they were still slapped to death like flies!
A group of Y-wing bombers flew over the wreckage of countless Z-95 fighter planes. The airspace has been cleared, and the huge spaceport of Guardian Planet is in sight! The large and small turrets on the spaceport are firing desperately. Point defense turrets, laser turrets, and turbolaser cannons are constantly firing at their respective targets, while hundreds of V-wing fighters surround the spaceport like locusts, cleaning up one by one. These turrets.
These Y-wing bombers approached very close to the spaceport and launched proton torpedoes! ! Here is an explanation of the difference between torpedoes and missiles in the space battlefield. Missiles are faster and more flexible, and are mainly used to deal with moving targets or smaller targets, while torpedoes have a larger charge and a slower flight speed, and are generally used to deal with interstellar targets. Fortress is a fixed target.
The spaceport with a length of more than one kilometer was hit by dozens of proton torpedoes. At almost the same time, dozens of dark blue proton clouds exploded on the spaceport, and the place where the spaceport was attacked suddenly began to collapse visible to the naked eye. After shrinking to a certain extent, the spaceport suddenly began to disintegrate silently! ! In less than five minutes, this huge spaceport was shattered into countless pieces!
Not only that, but the twelve armed space stations were also destroyed one by one. No matter how these spaceports are modified, they are on the order of more than 400 meters long, while the length of the Jaeger-class cruiser is 1137 meters. There is no comparison just by looking at this size. What's more, one side is an outdated product that has undergone modernization, and the other side is the crystallization of industry and technology in the entire galaxy!
Less than two hours after the battle started, the outer defenses of Guardian Planet had been completely destroyed! Immediately afterwards, more than 20 cheerer-class assault landing ships, escorted by more than 10 CR-90 escort ships, broke away from hyperspace teleportation and cut into the battlefield.
"The capital of the guardian planet is Yucheng, which is in an oval-shaped continent. One of their two industrial and military bases is on a huge island, called the Australian base, and the other is in a desert, called the Sahara base." A staff officer next to him explained.
"Focus on Yucheng! Divide troops to suppress the Australian base and the Sahara base, and prevent the troops of these two bases from supporting Yucheng. As long as Yucheng can be captured, the will to resist the people of the guardian planet will be disintegrated." Billur The governor said sharply: "In addition, these places must be bombed. Even if orbital bombing is not used, a safe landing environment must be cleared for our army!"
Master Yoda wanted to say something, but still heaved a long sigh, and said slowly: "We must end the battle as soon as possible. Minimize the injuries, innocent civilians on the planet."
"Attack! Landing!!" Governor Biruer gave an order, and more than 20 cheerer-class assault landing ships and more than 10 CR-90 escort ships immediately descended towards the atmosphere of the guardian planet! Those tens of thousands of fighter jets and bombers also swooped down towards the interior of the planet's atmosphere!
Over the guardian planet, red fire clouds suddenly appeared! This is when the huge battleship lands, because of the air friction generated by the huge volume, it is a spectacular sight. The anti-orbital cannons installed on the planet also began to fight back, and countless anti-aircraft missiles rose into the sky, completely dyeing the sky red with flames! !
