The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars - Chapter 2439
2416. Thrawn’s hidden dangers
San-Skarr changed the planetary defense force into a guerrilla force. They launched raids in almost every place. He made full use of the terrain and facilities on the planet and hid his troops in the jungle, underground, and even underwater.
There are a large number of factories and underground fortifications on the planet Bilbrin. Because this planet was originally built as a fortress planet, it naturally took into full consideration the situation of being bombarded by the enemy’s orbit. And those underground passages and fortifications have now become the best shelter for the guerrillas led by San-Skarr.
In addition, there are a large number of native landforms on the planet Bilbrin. This planet is not fully developed. It is not like the entire planet of Fangduo, which has become a factory, nor is it like the entire planet of Rendili and Coruscant, which is a city.
So among those native landforms, underground caves, underground rivers, primitive jungles, valleys, and fjords have all become guerrilla bases!
The worst thing is that, unlike what the Galactic Empire had imagined, the guerrillas of San-Skar actually had no shortage of supplies!
Think about the situation on the planet of Bilbrin at that time – first, Thrawn planned to abandon the planet, so he evacuated most of the population on the planet, destroyed the energy facilities, and closed the factories, but did not destroy the planet’s infrastructure. He was planning to fight back quickly.
After occupying the planet of Bilbrin, Mal-Tuk did his best to transport a huge amount of supplies from the rear, on the one hand to rebuild the planet’s energy facilities, and on the other hand to reopen the planet’s factories. At the same time, in order to meet Mal-Tuk’s next combat operations on the planet of Palansi, they also transported countless supplies from the rear.
As a result, due to the poor transportation on the planet of Bilbrin, most of these supplies were stranded on the planet. Later, when Mal-Tuk was defeated, these stranded supplies on the planet of Bilbrin were received and hidden by the defense forces, who were planning to fight on the planet for a long time. Due to the defeat of Mal-Tuk, the planetary defense forces naturally assumed that they would be subjected to orbital bombardment, so they naturally hid all these supplies underground.
Then, Bentiras-San-Skar led the reinforcement fleet to the planet of Bilbrin. This time, he transported a large number of soldiers, combat robots and combat supplies. After these combat supplies were received by the planetary defense forces, they were all hidden.
Therefore, the supplies stockpiled on the planet of Bilbrin were far from being temporarily drawn and pieced together. Instead, they were accumulated over several months to support the combat operations of an entire main fleet!
With such sufficient supplies, San-Skar’s guerrillas can even fight for a long time in those barren canyon areas without worrying about insufficient supplies.
To put it bluntly, even if his millions of troops were to eat up all the resources, it would take at least one or two years to consume the supplies of a main fleet!
Then there were the troops brought by San-Skar.
As the highest military commander of the Kali people, he brought the most elite army of the Kali people, 100,000 people. The Kali people can be said to be the best guerrilla warfare force in this galaxy. When they were still a cold weapon civilization, they could rely on guerrilla tactics to defeat the interstellar civilization Yamrui people. This was not based on luck. This was based on the military tradition forged with blood by generations of Kali warriors!
After joining the Fourth Civilization, the Kali people had a long period of recuperation, and their economy and people’s livelihood had undergone earth-shaking changes, but their military traditions had not been abandoned at all. Because they also participated in the subsequent Clone Wars.
At present, the total population of the Kali people has reached 2 billion, and their soldiers are active in various fronts of the Kingdom of Dawn. The 100,000 people brought by San-Skar are the elite among the elite!
Not only the Kali people, but also the army soldiers of the Kingdom of Dawn are extremely high-quality warriors. The Kingdom of Dawn has always maintained a very strict soldier training and training system, and their army has always taken the route of elite soldiers. The implementation of universal compulsory military service has also given the Kingdom of Dawn sufficient sources of soldiers.
The biggest advantage is that the Kingdom of Dawn rarely loses in battles, which allows a large number of their soldiers to survive the Clone Wars, become veterans and instructors, and accumulate combat experience, eventually creating this Iron Division.
It can be said that unless the Galactic Empire uses more elite Kamino clone soldiers, ordinary army troops are no match for the Kingdom of Dawn soldiers! However, due to financial problems, the Galactic Empire can no longer afford a large number of Kamino clone soldiers. Among the Imperial Stormtroopers, there are more and more cheap Sparti clones and ordinary soldiers who have undergone short training.
Generally speaking, Thrawn rarely intervenes in the command of the army, so this time he handed over the landing on the planet of Bilbrin to his adjutant Voss-Park to command. After he was promoted to admiral, Voss-Park also rose to the rank of Rear Admiral of the Imperial Navy.
But Major General Voss-Park lacks the most fundamental understanding of San-Skar’s guerrillas. To put it bluntly, he doesn’t know who the enemy he is facing is!
That was a most outstanding guerrilla warfare army commanded by the most outstanding guerrilla warfare experts, with sufficient supplies, perfect combat preparations and the most suitable terrain. In the case of insufficient intelligence, even Thrawn almost suffered a setback at the hands of San-Skar in the original plot!
It is a false proposition from the beginning to want to completely control the planet of Bilbrin in a short period of time! Unless the planet is completely destroyed by orbital bombing. But in this case, the planet of Bilbrin will lose its strategic value.
Thrawn has not yet realized that the planet of Bilbrin will become a constant worry for him in the future. He is now focusing all his energy on Severance Tann.
Because the threat of the Titan battleship of the God’s Envoy is obvious, for this unknown Titan battleship with no intelligence at all, a little negligence may lead to a complete loss!
“General, we have confirmed that Severance Tann has moved her fleet to the planet of Od-Mantell and stationed there, and has no intention of going to the planet of Dolin.” Another adjutant under Thrawn, Rel Bentin, came over and said.
Thrawn nodded, “This is not surprising. Tann is impossible to fight me on the planet of Bilbrin. But how she judges is her business, but we must make good deployment.”
“Yes!” Rel Bentin nodded.

“Then her intention…” Thrawn thought, and then his face became a little gloomy, “Planet Palin-Minor!”
