Chapter 2377 Bloody Battle with Fang Duo (I)

2378: Bloody Battle with Fang Duo (I)

Severance Tann was very eager to capture the planet Fangduo, but definitely not by force in this way.

The industrial capacity of Fangduo Planet can be ranked in the top three even in the entire Milky Way. It can be said that it is the largest industrial world in the Galactic Empire besides the core industrial areas of several major industrial giants. The industrial scale here is second only to Kuat Planet and Corellia Planet, and even surpasses Rendili Planet!

The capture of many planets is of great significance. It will directly interrupt the important industrial chain of the Galactic Empire, causing the Galactic Empire to lose one-tenth of its industrial output value and forcing the empire to reorganize its own industrial production, including raw material supply and parts production.

In the short term, the impact of capturing many planets on the Galactic Empire could even cause the Galactic Empire's industrial output value to drop by a quarter!

But in other words, it is not easy to conquer such an industrial world.

The entire planet of Fangduo has been covered with factories. Now that the Kingdom of Dawn Army has landed on the ground, every inch of land they step on is made of metal! Towering cooling towers and thundering overvoltage substations, these magnificent industrial structures can be found everywhere on the planet.

Almost everywhere where the Kingdom of Dawn Army landed, automatic turrets could rise from the ground and open fire. Even on the hulls of warships being assembled on the production line, some of the already installed guns turned their muzzles and opened fire.

While an army of more than 10 engineering robots blocked the Fourth Legion's advance, an automated defense line was taking shape in the rear at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Blaster cannon turrets, turbolaser cannons, anti-aircraft missile positions... these automated defense facilities were quickly processed and constructed in the factory, and then transported in a modular manner by countless engineering robots and quickly assembled.

In just one hour, a defense line consisting of hundreds of automatic turrets of various types had been formed in front of the Fourth Legion!

In the sky, ghost fighters and banshee fighters also swooped down and bombed these artillery positions, but on Fangduo Planet, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft missiles were set up everywhere, which caused the Dawn Kingdom's air force to suffer serious losses.

The orbital bombardment was almost non-stop, but even the orbital bombardment was risky, because the number of orbital defense cannons on the ground had reached an astonishing level!
Hundreds of super nuclear bombs fell from the sky, but they were met with countless anti-aircraft artillery fire. Most of the nuclear bombs were intercepted, and in the end only three nuclear bombs landed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!! Fierce explosions and flames suddenly broke out. Since there were metal structures everywhere, the explosion of the nuclear bomb could not even form a mushroom cloud. The high temperature and high pressure were blocked by the extremely solid factory structure, and only the facilities within a radius of 2 or 3 kilometers were destroyed.

But for a planet whose entire surface is made up of factories, such damage is minimal.

This is the defense capability of the industrial world!

Severance Tann ordered all warships, including the Ogre-class siege cruisers, to open fire at full power and launched extremely brutal orbital bombardments on many enemy planets, but still could not stop the planets from resisting.

More than a dozen modified Giant Whale-class passenger ships rushed directly into the planet's atmosphere and were quickly destroyed by anti-aircraft fire. Countless insects strengthened by the T-Veronica virus flew out from the carriers of the passenger ships.

Ant colony!

Ant colonies immediately flew in from ventilation ducts around the world, parasitized all living things they came into contact with, and then mutated into powerful biological weapons in a short period of time.

However, this cannot stop the defense power of Fangduo Planet!

The population of Fangduo is not large, only about 50 billion, half of whom are workers and the other half are their families. The real rich and powerful will not live in such an industrial world. The planet is basically maintained by robots. On Fangduo,
The 'ant colony' parasitized and transformed hundreds of thousands of people, causing serious chaos in the major factories on the planet, but that was all. The scattered mutant biological weapons were quickly destroyed by the clustered robots.

On the ground battlefield, the Injori Avenger 103s roared and charged forward, but what greeted them was a dense network of fire.

Scorpio tanks formed a cluster and launched an assault. The 90mm caliber electrothermal cannon fired at a rapid rate of 100 rounds per minute, pouring firepower forward. At the same time, they ran over the wreckage of countless robots on the ground and directly broke through the defense line of the automatic turret, slaughtering the engineering robots on many planets in the rear.

The firepower of the defense was too strong, and the Fourth Legion in the rear had to set up portable shield generators as cover and advance layer by layer.

From time to time, the wreckage of fighter planes fell from the sky, including TIE fighters from the Galactic Empire, Ghost fighters or Banshee fighters from the Kingdom of Dawn.

Coupled with the countless lasers and missiles falling from the sky, the entire battlefield seemed to be raining scorching fire all the time!
According to the situation on the front line, the subsequent landing troops have all been replaced with B-1 combat robots. The number of these combat robots is amazing, and the number on the front line soon reaches 50.

The introduction of combat robots has turned the ground battlefield on Planet Fangduo into a contest between machines, which is extremely cruel and fierce!
……

The new capital of Fangduo Planet, Oridin City. This city replaced Fangduo City as the capital of Fangduo Planet several years ago. It is also the city where Fangduo Planet's various high-precision technologies are the most concentrated.

The city's defensive firepower is so strong that even the Dawn Kingdom's fleet finds it difficult to land here, so the landing point they have chosen is currently the old capital, Fangduo City.

Severance Tann's plan was to occupy Fangduo City and then use Fangduo City as a springboard to attack Oredin City.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Octavian Grant, the governor of the 20th Army of the Galactic Empire, is currently in the underground command center in the city of Oredin, remotely controlling the entire battle.

It's not that he doesn't want to leave the front line of the war, but that he can't leave.

Fangduo is such an important planet. Once it is lost, no matter what kind of relationships he has or what kind of military achievements he has made, there is no need for him to be alive.

Instead of doing this, it is better to stay on the Fangduo planet and fight the Kingdom of Dawn.

"Darth Vader!! Where is your fleet!! We are under attack! The Separatist robot army has landed now!! Send your fleet to rescue immediately!!!" Octavian Grant yelled almost hysterically at the black mask on the screen.

"The defense of the planet Fondo is enough to hold out for a long time. My fleet will stay here until I destroy Yago-Dur." Darth Vader said coldly.

"You bastard! Bastard!! Don't you know the importance of the planet Fangduo? Once the planet is lost, I'm done, and you're done too!!" Octavian Grant roared.

"Then please defend hard, Your Excellency Governor." Darth Vader said slowly.

"Tell me, how long will it take you to destroy the planet Yago-Dur?!" Octavian Grant asked gritting his teeth.

"One month." Darth Vader said this coldly and cut off the communication directly.
