The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

Chapter 2376 The Empire Strikes Back (Part )
2377: The Empire Strikes Back (Part )

Ten Cheering-class assault landing ships and hundreds of transport ships were already ready. Under the escort of Imperial-class Star Destroyers, they began to break into the already very thin atmosphere of the planet Yago-Dur. Hundreds of thousands of Imperial stormtroopers and clone soldiers left the spacecraft and rushed into the underground entrance that had been discovered.

Almost immediately, dense gunfire rang out in those narrow underground passages!
The Givens have long been on high alert underground on the planet, with tens of millions of B-1 combat robots ready at all times and guarding all major underground passages.

In that narrow passage, armored units had no place to play, and heavy firepower was useless. Even if the Imperial Army intended to use flamethrowers to advance, they eventually found that the enemy's B-1 battle robots were more apt to survive the sea of ​​fire, high temperature, and vacuum created by the flamethrowers.

In such a narrow terrain, rocket launchers became the most useful weapon, and both sides used rocket launchers to bombard. Often, when they found something ahead, they would first fire dozens of rocket launchers, and then the infantry would slowly advance.

But the combat efficiency of this kind can be imagined.

On the first day after the landing operation was launched, not even a single Imperial stormtrooper could reach the edge of any Given city!
This situation was simply despairing, because the Imperial Army had to face the most traditional front-line combat mode, which was that countless soldiers advanced simultaneously along a whole front, starting from the border and approaching the enemy's core step by step.

In fact, after entering the interstellar era, this kind of front-line warfare has been eliminated. Because as long as the control of the outer orbit of the planet is mastered, the army can directly launch a landing at the core of the opponent and directly attack the opponent's capital or military base.

Even if the anti-aircraft firepower in the capital and military bases is too strong to allow a direct landing, we can at least establish landing positions hundreds of kilometers away and then continue to fight. That would be no more than one or two hundred kilometers at most.

But what the imperial army is facing now is that they must first break through the underground passage, enter the underground, find the direction in the completely unknown underground city cluster, and then advance step by step.

I'm afraid it will take several years before we capture the capital of the planet Yago-Dur!

On the one hand, Darth Vader ordered a landing operation, and on the other hand, he asked his engineering scientists to immediately begin studying how to blow up the entire planet Yago-Dur!
That's right, since orbital bombing from the outside in with warships doesn't work, then we can go underground and deploy powerful super bombs to completely blow the planet into pieces from the inside out!

Obviously, the Given defenders were also on guard against this, so countless B-1 combat robots launched a frantic counterattack against the Imperial Army, determined to completely block the Imperial Army from the surface of the planet.

……

At the same time, on the fifth day after the outbreak of the battle on Yago-Dur, Severance Tann was finally able to launch attacks on multiple enemy planets!
The Dawn Kingdom fleet, which had been ready for action, rushed towards the outer defense facilities of the planet Fangduo like a pack of wolves!

The number of defense fleets on the planet Fondo was not large, and Darth Vader had already taken almost all of the warships out. He did not pile up all the fleets in the Yago-Dur system, but established a huge front-line attack network in a total of 9 star systems, including Mechis III, Kiffu, and Thyferra.

These planets include logistics support, hospitals, maintenance, ammunition supply, reserve assembly and other functions. Only by performing their respective duties can they support such a super fleet consisting of more than 2100 battleships and more than 13000 small and medium-sized warships.

Therefore, it is impossible for these fleets, which are now performing their duties in various galaxies and operating in an orderly manner as part of this offensive, to return to multiple planets on the defending side.

Darth Vader could not have made such a decision. The defense fleet of Fangduo was quickly defeated, and Severance Tann began to bombard the surrounding armed space stations, while the Death Star cannons were still tirelessly bombarding Fangduo's planetary shield.

In the early morning of October 10, Severance Tann's Second Task Force blasted a hole in the defense facilities of the planet Fangduo. All seven Golan-class armed space stations in this direction were destroyed. Then, she ordered all warships to enter the planet's synchronous orbit, open fire at full power, and conduct orbital bombing!
The planetary shield of Fangduo had long been riddled with holes and overwhelmed, having been bombarded continuously by the Death Star cannon for almost two months. Now it was bombarded by the main fleet of Severance Tann, and was completely overloaded. Even in space, several huge fire points could be seen, which were the locations of the shield capacitors of the planetary shield.

The planetary shield is broken!
With almost no pause, Severance Tann immediately began to deploy ground troops and carry out landing operations!

Unlike the Galactic Empire, which has always used the Cheering-class assault landing ships to break through the defense line and land, the Dawn Kingdom's landing operations are of a different style.

All we saw were five Kosov-class battlecruisers that looked like coal carriers, breaking into the planet's synchronous orbit under the protection of other warships, and then launching thousands of orbital airdrop capsules from the landing capsules on both sides of the warships!

These orbital airdrop pods barely slowed down and smashed into the ground like missiles! In the surroundings, hundreds of ghost fighters had also broken through the planet's air defense network and turned on stealth mode to carry out precision bombing of ground air defense positions.

Countless orbital drop capsules crashed to the ground, the miniature bombs on the hatches exploded, the drop capsules disintegrated instantly, and huge figures roared out.

Injori Avenger 103!
These Inchori people transformed by the T virus have now become the vanguard of the Dawn Kingdom's landing operations. Whenever a landing is launched, it is these biological weapons that rush to the front line, break up the ground guard forces, and create conditions for subsequent landings.

After the Injori Avengers launched the first wave of landing attacks, another five Kosov-class battlecruisers also began to launch the second wave of orbital drop capsules. These orbital drop capsules were relatively slower, larger, could accommodate more soldiers, and were equipped with deflector shields.

At this moment, five GA-TL5 Longsword Aerial Fortresses took off from the Sova-class aircraft carrier. These huge bombers began to further attack ground targets while covering the landing of the second wave of orbital airborne capsules.

Inside the second wave of orbital drop pods are soldiers from the Fourth Legion!

These extremely elite soldiers were different from the Inchori Avengers who only knew how to fight and rush around. They began to systematically establish a ground landing site to create conditions for the landing of the transport ship.

Everything is so orderly.

On the night of October 10th, Galactic Standard Time, more than 10 Dawn Kingdom Army soldiers had landed on the planet Fangduo and began to attack under the cover of fighter jets.

However, this time, Admiral Severance Tann also faced the same problem as Darth Vader -

Fangduo Planet is also a fortress planet!!

Although the solid defenses of Yago-Dur and Fangduo were different, the results were the same. Severance Tann found that it was also difficult for her to occupy Fangduo in a short time!
