1401. Turning point! Boom! boom! boom! Explosions exploded on the Spha-T self-propelled turbolaser cannon!
In front of this 140.2-meter-long super giant land unit, the m-808b Scorpion tank is only 10.2 meters long. The proportions of the two are like an ordinary person standing in front of a building.
However, the one who was unable to fight back was the giant Spha-T. In the face of the flexible Scorpion tank, although the Spha-T is equipped with 10 anti-infantry scatter laser cannons, this weapon cannot pose a threat to the armor of the Scorpion tank at all.
On the contrary, the 90mm caliber high-speed smoothbore cannon equipped on the Scorpion tank can easily penetrate the opponent's armor because it uses the super-matter acceleration technology now widely used by the Fourth Civilization.
After hitting more than ten shells in a row, even the huge vehicle with a length of more than 140 meters was finally overwhelmed and paralyzed in a burst of violent explosions.
After receiving the news of the raid, the frustrated Wilhuff Tarkin had to use more fighter jets for patrol and defense on the battlefield, which also reduced the air defense pressure over the City of Steel.
It was not that he had never thought about letting his Cheer-class assault landing ship directly penetrate into the atmosphere of the Dexon satellite to support the operation, but his reason still prevented him from doing so.
Because according to various intelligence sources, the separatist army on the planet Onderon has at least two J-1 proton cannons.
The J-1 proton cannon produced by the Techno Union, like the Galactic Republic's Spha-T self-propelled turbolaser, is a weapon of great power and low production.
And in recent months, the Technology Alliance has always refused to provide J-1 proton cannons to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, citing insufficient raw materials and lack of funds.
This means that this powerful weapon, which can directly shoot down the Cheer-class assault landing ship, has not appeared in large numbers on the frontline battlefields of the Confederation of Independent Systems.
But the current situation is that since there are at least two J-1 proton cannons on the planet Onderon, and these two cannons were not found on the planet when the planet Onderon was previously occupied, then the most likely result That is, these two proton cannons are now on the Dexon satellite!
And according to the information provided by Saw Gerrera, the Separatists probably installed these two proton cannons on the terrifying Thor mecha.
So if this is the case, the Thor Mecha will have the ability to threaten the Cheer-class assault landing ship!
With this invisible threat, naturally we can't just send the Cheer-class assault landing ship into the atmosphere of the Dexon satellite.
You must know that the Cheer-class cost more than 100 million. If you do not count super battleship-level battleships such as the Commander II-class, the Cheer-class is still the most expensive warship in the Republic Navy.
The even worse news is that even though the battle was so brutal, the two J-1 proton cannons of the separatists still did not appear.
At this moment, Wilhuff Tarkin, who was standing on the bridge of the flagship, was extremely angry. With a bang, he smashed the portable terminal in his hand into the face of the staff officer who was reporting the war situation to him, hitting the innocent staff officer's head. Broken blood flow.
...Bang! There was a muffled sound and a door was kicked open. Then dozens of Onderon soldiers with fierce faces rushed into a basement, but there was no one in the basement.
Commander Shi rummaged through the remaining traces in the basement and said in the communication: "General, based on intelligence, we raided the basement of Building M in the market area. There are traces of Stella's rebel activities here, but they have already evacuated. "A gloomy voice came from the communication,
"His Majesty the King has given me a direct order to search the entire city for the traitor Stella Gerrera and her accomplices! They have betrayed the Galactic Republic, and even more so our planet Onderon! His Majesty the King requires that they be caught within one day. , and then send them to the guillotine!"
"Yes!" the commander responded quickly, and then he said fiercely to the other soldiers behind him: "You also heard it! Expand the search area for me immediately! Even if we turn the city upside down, we must find Stella - Gerrera!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Outside the door, more soldiers were gathering. Following the commander's order, everyone immediately divided into groups and began a large-scale search.
They broke into people's houses, smashed, looted and robbed people everywhere on the pretext of hunting down rebels. Things like robbing people's houses happened everywhere with them.
Most of the people who can identify with and join Saw Gerrera's team are gangsters and terrorists. When these people put on military uniforms and pick up blaster rifles, they transform into fully armed gangsters and terrorists.
For a time, with the search by a large number of troops, the entire city of Izzy, which was already in chaos, was now plunged into chaos!
The residents of Izu City not only have to face the oppression and fear brought by the Galactic Republic Army, but also face the white terror of Saw Gerrera.
To describe it as deep water and hot water is already appropriate. At this moment, Stella Gerrera led one of the most elite teams and quietly sneaked towards the Temple of Unity in the center of the city.
Because Stella Gerrera and her comrades have always been committed to helping and saving civilians, they can also get a lot of help and intelligence.
Under the ubiquitous eyes of the residents of Izzy City, they avoided the patrols of the Galactic Republic Army and the searches of the Onderon Army, and successfully arrived 2 or 3 kilometers away from the Temple of Unity.
"Be careful! There is a group of Republic patrols ahead!" Stella whispered. Everyone hurriedly hid. After a while, there was a flash of reflection from the glass in a building in front. Stella looked at the flash and said, "Let's go! It's now! Hurry!" The others quickly followed her footsteps. , and soon came to the building.
The door opened quietly and they hid inside. A middle-aged woman in her 40s came over and said, "Have you finally made up your mind? Stella! Only you can save our planet now! Ah... ...It's His Majesty the King!" As she said that, she saw Ramses Dundup behind her and quickly saluted.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here, Your Majesty Dundup." Dundup said with a slight smile: "It seems that Stella, your status in the hearts of the people is very high. In this way, I can go with peace of mind."
"Your Majesty, are you going to..." the middle-aged woman asked. Dundup said with a smile: "Someone has to stand up and use political means to fight against the occupation of the Republic's army. Now we can't let Stella stand on the front desk and bear the Republic's open and covert attacks. Let me, this old bone, Let’s clear the road ahead first.”
