Chapter 782: Battle of Keeling Wasteland (1)
Chapter 782: Battle of Keeling Wasteland (1)
Terminus, 200 kilometers west of the Capital City of Fermos.
Guns roared and fire shot into the sky! Tens of Thousands of Troops are concentrated here and are engaged in the fiercest competition.
This is the Landing Battlefield closest to the Capital City of Fermos that the Army of the Fourth Civilization seized. Army Commander-in-Chief Major General Xiao Guanghua personally visited the battlefield and commanded the 2nd Independent Armored Brigade and the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Fourth Civilization, a total of 15,000 Soldiers. The attack was launched under the cover of the same number of Droid Troops.
Keeling Wasteland is also the largest of the 15 Landing Battlefields on the entire Planet.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!! The 180mm Shock Cannon of the Siege Tank roared loudly, and Powerful Concussion Shells continued to fall from the sky, setting off waves of horrific explosions in the wasteland ahead.
Each Concussion Shell fired by the Shock Cannon can create a crater with a diameter of 15 meters and will be impacted by the shell explosion within a radius of 600 meters.
In the sky, numerous Vulture Droid Starfighters mixed with about one-third of the number of Wraith Starfighters were engaged in fierce air battles with the Republic's Starfighter Battle Groups. The Republic's Main Aircraft on the battlefield are the Z-95 Headhunter Starfighter and the V-19 Torrent Starfighter. Their numbers are obviously superior, but they are only timid because of the excellent Stealth System of the Wraith Starfighter.
But even so, they kept looking for opportunities to break through the defense of the Fourth Civilization Air Force from the air and swoop down, launching a series of air attacks on the Siege Tank positions.
At the same time, the Republic Army's long-range firepower, mainly SPHA Heavy Artillery, also carried out coverage bombing of the Fourth Civilization's positions. Not only that, but AT-TE Walkers were also providing fire support with the Mass Driver Cannon equipped on their backs.
Dense Explosions completely covered the entire battlefield.Not to mention, Tactical Missiles launched from Warships in Outer Space also continued to fall from the sky, catching fire during the atmosphere's friction, making the sky turn red as if it were raining fire from the sky! Then the Dense Air Defense and Starfighters from both sides intercepted these Missiles one by one.
There was a distortion in the air, and a Battle Formation of four AH/G-24 Banshee Ground Fighters passed by from a very low altitude, directly destroying the Artillery Positions of the Republic Army. The Ground Fighters flew over the Fortifications built by the Republic Army on the battlefield, as well as Anti-Aircraft Fire Points protected by Deflector Shields.
The Artillery of the Siege Tanks set off Violent Explosions in this position, but Republic Clone Troopers wearing White Plastoid Alloy Armor could still be seen crouching into the preset Fire Points of the position, and then opening fire. Their Battle Formation was maintained very well, and the distance between everyone was just right. Even if they were Violently Bombed, they could effectively avoid the explosion and fight back.
AT-TE Walkers are the fulcrum of firepower for every Infantry Position, relying on Powerful Firepower to provide support for at least one Company of Clone Troopers. Therefore, these Walkers are widely spread out on the entire battlefield, almost everywhere.
From time to time, Shells fell on the AT-TE Walker. The Powerful Force caused the Walker to take a few steps back, but it's Strong Hexapod's Armor withstood the power of the explosion and immediately fired back.
This Battle Formation of Banshee Ground Fighters even saw a Missile launched from a Marza-class Heavy Missile Cruiser break through the interception and land on a Republic Air Defense Position. The terrible explosion emptied the area directly, and the shock wave even caused their Stealth System to generate fluctuations!
The Radar of a nearby AT-TE Walker immediately noticed it and reported it to Headquarters.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen V-19 Torrent Starfighters swooped down from ultra-high altitudes and fired a series of Laser Cannons at the Banshee Ground Fighters under the guidance of the Headquarters's Ground-Based Radar. The Anti-Aircraft Guns on the ground also began to fire wildly in this direction.
The Banshee Ground Fighter Battle Formation immediately dispersed and shuttled through the Hail of Lasers.
A Ground Fighter was shot down, its Stealth Device failed, and it rolled and fell to the ground in flames, plowing a large hole hundreds of meters long in the ground. Flames and debris were scattered all over.
The second one was shot down, and the third one... They tried their best to launch all their Shockwave Missiles before being shot down, creating that slight chance for the last Ground Fighter.
The Banshee Ground Fighter Pilot looked at the Airspace that was almost covered by countless Lasers. No expression could be seen on her fully covered Flight Helmet, and she could only see countless data and graphics on the Dark Tactical Eyepiece. While scrolling, she took one last hard photo of a Handsome Middle-Aged Man stuck in front of the console, then pushed the joystick hard to turn off the Stealth Mode and turn on the Engine Afterburner Module!!
The Banshee Ground Fighter suddenly accelerated to a speed that was almost impossible to control effectively! Through Electronic Instruments, the Pilot has also seen her target-an Artillery Position composed of five Galaxy Republic SPHA Heavy Artillery!
A Laser Beam hit the Ground Fighter, and the left Ducted Turbofan exploded and caught fire, but she was already close to the target!!
"I am the Natural Disaster!!!" The Fighter Pilot roared and pressed the launch button hard!
More than a dozen Shockwave Missiles fell from the sky, exploding the Galactic Republic Artillery Position into a sea of flames. Almost at the same time, the Banshee Ground Fighter also lost control and fell, exploding into a ball of fire amid the Violent Explosion.
Five M650 Mastodon Armored Personnel Carriers quickly approached the battlefield under the cover of the M9B4 Wolverine SPAAA Anti-Aircraft Artillery and Vulture Hoverbikes. They rushed to a place about 500 meters close to the Republic Defense Position and stopped suddenly. The Mastodon's M49 Vulcan Chaingun in the rear, which was specially equipped for this battle, fired wildly at the Republic Defense Positions in the front.
The Rear Hatch of an M650 Mastodon Armored Personnel Carrier opened, and Huang Yehao jumped out first and shouted: "Quick, quick, quick! We only have 10 seconds!! Enter the position immediately!!"
Soldiers from the Fourth Civilization Army filed out of the M650 Mastodon Armored Personnel Carriers and immediately entered the Battle Position.
[The Wraith Starfighter's Stealth Device still has 5 minutes of power left, so hurry up and break through the Republic's Defense Position! ]Instructions came from the Communication.
"Attack immediately!!" Huang Yehao gave the order, "Cummings! Put up the Energy Shield and follow the Mastodons! You are too conspicuous!"
"I am the Natural Disaster!! Charge!!!" the Fourth Civilization Army shouted the slogan and charged quickly with the M650 Mastodon Armored Personnel Carriers.
The Vulture Hoverbikes rushed to the front, using a Grenade Launcher to fire Fragmentation Grenades that exploded on the Republic's Defense Position.
Boo hoo hoo~~~~! Countless Blaster Beams passed by with the breath of death. Huang Yehao and others ran as fast as possible behind the APCs to prevent themselves from being hit by the fire.
Suddenly, there was a burst of Intensive Gunfire from the front, and then the two Vulture Hoverbikes were directly torn apart by the crazy firepower. The burning hulls rushed forward hundreds of meters under the action of inertia before stopping.
"E-Web Heavy Repeating Blaster!! 11 o'clock direction!! Cummings!!" Huang Yehao roared at the top of his voice.
"Leave it to me!!" Cummings roared. What was carried by the Sy Myrthian were two Automatic Mortars!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Several Mortar Shells were fired and exploded in the forward position.
But before they could confirm the results, an M-650 Mastodon APC next to them was hit by several Powerful Laser Cannons!
Boom! Boom!!! The M-650 Mastodon APC was immediately blown to pieces in the Violent Explosion. The 20 Fourth Civilization Army Soldiers following behind quickly crawled to the ground, moved close to the ground, and raised their heads with difficulty to fight back.
On the front position, several Tall Bipedal Walkers appeared.
"AT-XT!!! Be careful!!"
