Chapter 784: The Battle Is Deadlocked
In the Battle of Keeling Wasteland, the Fourth Civilization deployed 15,000 Soldiers and more than 15,000 Battle Droids to launch a determined attack on the Galactic Republic's Defense Line.
The Republic Clone Army here is the 118th Commando Regiment, which has a total of 5,000 Clones and some 3,000 Local Security Forces from Terminus.
Those Local Security Forces were naturally defeated at the first touch, but the Clone Army's resistance was very tenacious. They arranged their Defense Lines in an orderly manner and blocked the advancement of the Fourth Civilization Army in most positions.
The Republic Clone Army's combat quality is very strong. Even under the indiscriminate bombardment of Siege Tanks, they remain calm and counterattack calmly with the help of pre-set positions.
The Republic's position was almost impregnable with the firepower of many AT-TE Walkers, AT-XT Walkers, and SPHA Heavy Artillery.
Moreover, the Republic has an absolute advantage in the number of Starfighters on the battlefield. The Vulture Droid Starfighters can only play a role in harassing the Republic's Starfighters. Only the Wraith Starfighters can still pose a fatal threat to the Republic's Starfighters.
However, the number of Wraith Starfighters is small, after all, and the duration of the Stealth Device is limited, so there is little time to take off for combat. Compared to the Galactic Republic, they have enough Pilots and enough Starfighters to rotate.
This is also the most significant difficulty faced by the Fourth Civilization Army. They can only start attacking when the Wraith Starfighters take off for Battle. When the Wraith Starfighters retreat, they can only stop the attack and organize defense on the spot.
The Clone Army seized this opportunity very keenly and immediately launched a counterattack when the Wraith Starfighters retreated.
