The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars - Chapter 2458

2435, Stalemate (Part 2)

Both the Kingdom of Dawn and the Galactic Empire have reason to believe that they can gain an advantage on the ground battlefield of the planet Bilbrin.

The Galactic Empire controls the major cities and industrial areas on the planet, and they have a certain degree of self-sufficiency. And in the previous period, because they once controlled the entire outer space of the planet, the Galactic Empire was able to transport a large number of supplies, troops and equipment to the planet Bilbrin in a relatively relaxed environment.

This has brought their ground forces on the planet to as many as 7 million, and they are equipped with a large number of AT-AT all-terrain armored walkers, AT-AP all-terrain self-propelled artillery, and AT-ST all-terrain reconnaissance walkers. In addition, the Xina Fleet System also provided them with two light armored units-TIE Century tanks and TIE Crusher light tanks, which are specifically used to make up for the disadvantages of all-terrain walkers in mobility and provide powerful anti-infantry firepower.

In order to counter the Scorpion tanks widely equipped by the Kingdom of Dawn in ground battles, the Galactic Empire also invested a large number of 2-M suspended assault tanks here. This tank is an improved version of the TX-130 Sabre tank that was previously equipped in large quantities by the Galactic Republic. It has enhanced firepower and armor and is considered to be an excellent equipment that can surpass the Scorpion tank in all aspects.

Major General Voss-Park, who was entrusted by Thrawn to command the battle on the planet of Bilbrin, did indeed deploy a large number of elite ground troops here as he planned, relying on large cities and industrial areas to steadily and steadily compress the guerrillas’ activity space bit by bit, and then completely wipe them out.

At the same time, the Galactic Empire, which controls almost all airports and spaceports on the planet, also has absolute air supremacy in the atmosphere. Whether it is air strikes or high-altitude reconnaissance, it can provide great convenience.

After transporting such a powerful force to the planet of Bilbrin, Voss-Park is now full of confidence.

But he still underestimated the hidden power of the Kingdom of Dawn on this planet…

Like the Galactic Empire, the Kingdom of Dawn also controlled the planet of Bilbrin for a period of time, during which time they also transported a large amount of supplies to the planet. Although it was not foreseen that a large-scale ground battle would be launched here at that time, the transported materials were mainly logistical materials, but these materials were also hidden and played a huge role in the subsequent battles.

The last Izvosla, the Kalli massacrer, Major General Bentiras-San-Skar, had divided his approximately 2.4 million combat troops into small units, organized them into guerrillas, and deployed them in thousands of underground operation bases on the planet Bilbrin.

He did not have many armored units and no air force cover, but this did not affect his combat plan.

The guerrillas would not confront the Galactic Empire’s army head-on. All San-Skar had to do was to harass and attack continuously, constantly challenging Voss-Parker’s patience, and let him invest more and more powerful forces to encircle and suppress the guerrillas.

San-Skar continued to harass, which would gradually bring the Galactic Empire’s army to a critical point – the logistics supply line would be broken, and the imperial army that lost logistics would completely collapse in both morale and combat effectiveness!

In this galaxy, it can be said that no one knows how to fight guerrilla warfare better than the Kali people.

Bentilas-Sang-Skar is different from his fierce and strong appearance. His fighting style is very cunning, so cunning that you may even think that the opponent is a sharp-nosed, monkey-faced, cunning, shameless and vulgar old fox.

Just like when he killed Master Sus-Tine, although he was knocked unconscious by Master Sus-Tine’s sudden attack, and was stripped naked, walking around in the barracks in just his underpants. But he was furious and did not rush in directly to confront the Jedi Master head-on, but took the opportunity to ambush behind the wall. While Master Sus-Tine was holding General Dilar hostage and all attention was attracted, he broke through the wall and caught Master Sus-Tine off guard.

And this time, with sufficient supplies, sufficient troops, elite soldiers, and many combat robot troops who were not afraid of death at all, San-Skar believed that he did not need too many heavy armored troops to defeat the Galactic Empire.

Therefore, after Admiral Trench reopened the passage to the planet Bilbrin, San-Skar only requested five jungle combat divisions from the rear to reinforce, all composed of Ewoks.

Admiral Trench was also very satisfied with this situation. After all, the Kingdom of Dawn still had not mastered the secret hyperspace channel of the planet Bilbrin, which made it much more difficult for them to transport supplies here than the Galactic Empire. It was like they were taking a country road, while the Galactic Empire was at least taking a national road.

So Admiral Trench was not in a hurry to completely occupy the planet Bilbrin. He only needed to maintain such guerrilla warfare on this planet and continue to bleed the Galactic Empire.

The order of the Supreme Command of the Kingdom of Dawn had been issued, and the Northern War Zone had fully switched to a defensive posture, waiting for the Titan battleship of the God’s Envoy to be repaired. So at this time, whether or not to completely occupy the planet Bilbrin was not important to Admiral Trench at all.

…

While the two sides stopped fighting in the North, the direction of the planet Fangduo gradually became quiet.

After the fall of Fangdo, the governor of the 20th Army of the Galactic Empire, Octavian Grant, and almost all the senior officials of the 20th Army burned themselves to death in the underground command center. This army is now in name only. The 20th Army is currently under the temporary management of Darth Vader.

As mentioned before, the battle lines of both sides on Fangdo are also intertwined and chaotic, with you in me and me in you.

The current state of Fangdo is actually isolated from the mainland of the Kingdom of Dawn and is an enclave. But this planet, like the planet Rendili, which is also an enclave, has very terrifying industrial production capacity and the most powerful defense system, which makes the Galactic Empire Governor Wilhuff Tarkin, who is now responsible for reinforcing Darth Vader, have no idea at all.

Tarkin basically looked at the fleet in his hand, looked at the defense of Fangdo, and then decisively took a sick leave and went to the planet Cato-Neimoidia in the world of wealth to recuperate.

By the way, after the Trade Union was occupied by the Galactic Empire, those wealth worlds were rebuilt by the dignitaries in the core circle at the first time, and they were more luxurious than before. War is war, and it is okay to spend some money to fight, but if these nobles are delayed from enjoying life, this is absolutely not acceptable.

The large-scale military base group including nine star systems that Darth Vader had built in order to attack the planet Yago-Dur has now become his strongest line of defense. Although this line of defense was once in danger, and even the forward bases on two of the planets were destroyed by Severance Tann, now Tann has withdrawn one-third of the warships to reinforce the North, which allows Darth Vader to stabilize his defense line.

Army General Ling Liang, who took over as the commander-in-chief of Fangduo Planet, also adopted a conservative strategy. You know, Darth Vader is now leading the last and most powerful mobile fleet of the Galactic Empire, with a super-large force of up to 2,000 battleships.

On the other hand, Ling Liang, whose fleet strength has declined, currently has about one-third of Darth Vader’s troops, and logistics supply is extremely difficult. This difference in troops forced her to prioritize the preservation of Fangduo Planet, and wait until the construction of Fangduo Planet’s star gate is completed before considering whether to counterattack and how to counterattack.

At the same time, since one-third of Yago-Dur Planet was blown up by Darth Vader, this planet has basically reached the end. The Givens now have the help of the Vasians and are preparing to further reinforce Yago-Dur Planet, so that the structure of this planet can be strengthened to the point where it can support the planetary engine, and then install the planetary engine on the planet so that the planet can move.

However, this is only the first step. The purpose of installing the planetary engine is only to prevent the planet from being captured and torn into pieces by the stars in this three-body system due to the large reduction in mass. As for the whimsical idea of ​​transforming the planet into a battle fortress, it is still just an idea and has not been implemented.

Because it is to be used as a battle fortress, there is no way to solve the problem of how this planet can make a hyperspace jump to other galaxies. If it cannot be solved, it is obviously not worth investing such a large cost to transform an entire planet just as a force to defend a galaxy.

Fortunately, as experts in megastructures, the Vassians are already familiar with the project of transforming a planet.

While the transformation was in progress, the Dawn planet also sent reinforcements to the planet of Yago-Dur, where they were prepared to block the possibility of Darth Vader’s further attack. The fleet currently stationed on the planet of Yago-Dur has a force of about 200 battleships. The biggest role of this fleet is to delay a little time when Darth Vader really starts to attack, giving Ling Liang’s fleet the opportunity to raid the rear of the Galactic Empire.

Darth Vader is really worried about this. Now that Wilhuff Tarkin is playing badly, he is really worried that Ling Liang will rush into the core circle regardless of anything. Once such a thing happens, whether Ling Liang can come back alive is another matter, but the dignitaries in the core circle will definitely explode directly. Moreover, once those powerful people think that the Galactic Empire can no longer guarantee their safety, they are likely to have the idea of ​​changing another regime, or at least they can pretend to obey the economic and industrial policies and push the empire’s finances directly to collapse.

By then, the Galactic Empire may start a civil war first.

Therefore, in this direction, the Kingdom of Dawn wants to stabilize the planet Fangduo first, and the Galactic Empire also needs to build a line of defense to block the core circle, so both sides have stopped attacking.

…

In the southern part of the Milky Way, the Kingdom of Dawn is going smoothly.

After the battle of Kira directly destroyed an entire main fleet of the Galactic Empire, the Kingdom of Dawn basically completely controlled the southern part of the Milky Way. Before returning to attack Fangduo, Severance Tann had already swept across the entire southern border and completely drove away the forces of the Galactic Empire in this direction.

At the same time, the connection between the Kingdom of Dawn and the planet Christophsis was opened. The Kingdom of Dawn also announced that Tatooine would become a permanent free port. The freedom and neutrality of this planet were directly guaranteed by the Kingdom of Dawn.

On the surface, Tatooine is regarded as a protectorate, but in fact, those who truly understand the Kingdom of Dawn’s policy towards the southern border of the Milky Way will understand that this guarantee is actually a smuggling license for Tatooine.

The Kingdom of Dawn has always been engaged in a large amount of smuggling and black market business. Now this practice is also to cooperate with the policy of the current Hutt leader, Oluba-Gorensla, to further expand the smuggling business and continue to make black money from the Galactic Empire.

So now, the planet Eriadu is no longer the front line of the Kingdom of Dawn, but exists as the administrative center of the Seswena star region and a strategic fulcrum of the Kingdom of Dawn.

At present, the southern border is indeed still fighting, mainly between General C and the 13th Army of the Galactic Empire, but the fleets of both sides are not many, and the battle is not fierce.

Although the 13th Army is located in a remote area, after the failure of the reconstruction of the 14th Army, they still control some industrial centers including the planet Rosana, including the industrial centers of the former Independent Galaxy Confederation, including the planet Hypori, which are still playing their residual heat. So it is not easy for General C to swallow the 13th Army of the Galactic Empire in one bite.

…

In the eastern part of the galaxy, General Grievous was engaged in a fierce battle with the Galactic Empire’s 12th Army.

The Galactic Empire also maintained a force of more than 400 battleships in this direction, which was far greater than the fleet in General Grievous’ hands.

The original plan was for Severance Tann to lead the fleet to launch a long-distance raid and attack the rear of the 12th Army, but at that time Darth Vader launched a campaign to attack the planet Yago-Dur, forcing Tann to return to support, so General Grievous was left alone in the eastern battlefield.

General Grievous did receive support from the Hutts, but after Oruba Gorensla took office as the commander-in-chief of the Hutts, he still failed to convince the factions within the Hutts to let the Hutts openly participate in the war. Therefore, there are not many advanced production lines in the Hutt space that can produce those Minmatar warships, and General Grievous can only fight guerrilla warfare with the Empire’s 12th Army in the east.

If we want to open up the situation in the East, the breakthrough point is still the Jiwen people who moved to Losar, as well as the core planets of the former independent galaxy confederation, such as Dak, Semirs, Felucia, and Laxus.

Once these planets are really determined to go to war with the Galactic Empire, the East will also usher in chaos.
