1655. Tag's adventure
Major General Cassio Tagg, the commander-in-chief of the Republic Expeditionary Force, believed that he had found a loophole in the defenders of the planet Annaji, because through his observation, he found that the anti-aircraft firepower in part of the planet Annaji lacked persistence.
In other words, after a period of sustained fire, the anti-aircraft firepower in those areas will weaken and holes will appear.
Coupled with the several counterattacks launched by armored groups composed of Scorpion tanks and siege tanks at the beginning of the landing, the clone army that finally sent him to the surface of the planet really almost caught up with the spacecraft.
So Casio Tag made a profound summary and analysis of the battle situation, and then he came to a conclusion. He believed that the separatist defenders on the planet Annaji had insufficient troops and insufficient supplies, which was why this situation was caused. .
He made a bold decision and ordered more transport ships to conduct interspersed landings on the surface of the planet Annaji!
In other words, when there is a gap in the defenders of the planet Annaji, they can take advantage of every opportunity to directly invest their own troops. This is equivalent to forcing the opponent to continuously divide their troops and then open up multiple fronts. In this way, the shortcomings of insufficient troops on the planet Annaji are eliminated. will be exposed.
Casio Tagg carefully prepared his tactics. He carefully analyzed every possible landing site, and also studied the defense layout of the planet Annaji based on the results of the global scan, and finally confirmed a series of The landing strike plan can continuously intersperse attacks into the depth of Annaji's planet's defense system while connecting one's own troops as much as possible.
It has to be said that as a top student in the academy, Casio Tagg does have two skills, and he did his best in combat deployment. He personally formulated landing plans for hundreds of landing sites, and each of these landing combat areas was what he considered the most critical location for the defenders of the planet Annaji.
Cassio Tagg believes that once he successfully lands on these landing sites and connects his front lines in the subsequent battles, the defense of Planet Annaji will completely collapse!
In this regard, his adjutant, Laszlo Dolit, a veteran of many Republic-era wars starting from the Stark Hyperspace War, expressed opposition to this plan.
Laszlo-Dolit said the plan was too risky. Because now on the battlefield in outer space, the separatist fleet has not suffered a devastating blow. Although the opponent's Agonev-class interstellar base has been severely damaged, the opponent's mobile fleet still exists. Not only that, the tens of thousands of Gaussian defense platforms scattered around the planet have not yet been cleared.
At the same time, their warships have experienced hundreds of mine strikes recently, indicating that the air mines deployed by the separatists are still functioning.
As for air mines, if it is a battleship, the battleship's powerful radar system and fire control system can naturally detect the existence of some air mines, and then use close defense weapons to destroy them. But if it is a transport ship, the transport ship's radar system is not strong, and it is difficult to detect air mines that are obviously equipped with a stealth system.
And even if warships are used to escort, if the close-defense weapons on the warships take care of other transport ships, there will definitely be omissions, and the transport ships themselves do not have much firepower to eliminate air mines.
As a result, unless the number of escort warships is increased, the transport ships will suffer heavy losses.
But if we want to increase the escort force, what about the frontal battlefield in space? What about air support and orbital bombing on the ground?
Even though the Republic Expeditionary Fleet has a huge force, once there are too many tasks to be completed, it will definitely be stretched.
It is necessary to suppress the separatist fleet on the space battlefield and prevent the other party from attacking its own transport ships. It is also necessary to clear the Gauss defense platform and air mines in space, to cover the landing of transport ships, and to carry out ground targets once the need arises on the ground battlefield. Orbital bombardment and air strike support.
The last point is actually very tricky, because the main tactic of the Sparti clone troopers now relies on air support rather than the advance of ground armor forces.
Laszlo Dolit said that if General Tagg really plans to land at more than 100 landing sites, then each landing site will have an average of 20 fighter jets, which is a full two thousand fighter jets!
Not to mention whether 20 fighter jets are enough for ground support, just moving these fighter jets away and losing them at any time will also have a great impact on the strength of other battlefields.
Laszlo-Dolit finally suggested that under the current situation, we should not be too anxious to expand the landing front, but should proceed steadily. With the help of orbital bombing, we should first establish about 5 large landing sites, and then advance step by step.
Even if the separatists use their fast-moving and powerful Scorpion tank clusters to launch a counterattack, there is no need to worry, they can just concentrate their air power and bomb them.
Casio Tag was still rational at this time, but after careful consideration, he still rejected Laszlo Dolit's suggestion. He told Dolittle that this plan did have merit, but it was not in line with the current war situation.
First of all, as an expeditionary force, they need to obtain a stable forward base as soon as possible, which means they must occupy the planet Annaji as soon as possible. Only in this way can the Galactic Republic send more reinforcements.
He analyzed the recent reinforcements and said that in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of this army, fewer warships were sent from the rear, and more transport ships were sent. As for the transport ships that came to deliver supplies, they had hyperspace stabilizers when they arrived here. However, when they returned, they had to forcefully move from the Model Sector, which was once forcibly developed by Master Yoda, and now has The return route is not stable.
As of today, there are more than 100 transport ships missing or confirmed to have been torn apart by hyperspace. This is a supply line opened with life!
Therefore, the Annaji planet must be occupied. On the one hand, the planet's own production capacity can be used to solve some supply problems. On the other hand, once the separatists lose their planet, they will not be able to fight in this galaxy for a long time. Then as long as the remaining separatist forces are eliminated, they can start building another hyperspace stabilizer here.
Once the two stabilizers establish two-way communication, the current battle situation will be completely revitalized.
Compared with this, the current plan is just to use the lives of those Sparti clone soldiers who are not worth anything at all, so what else?
For the sake of talking, Laszlo Dorit will not say any more.
Casio Tagg also began to carry out his combat plan, increase the landing force, and launch landings on dozens of battlefields at the same time!
