2354 The Decisive Battle on Anxin Planet (Part 2)
The Commercial Combined Fleet launched a resolute attack under the command of Mar-Tuk, even though they seemed There are only 100 capital ships and 1,500 small and medium-sized battleships, but facing the imperial fleet with 500 capital ships, they are not afraid at all!
Mal-Took's confidence is not only because the main force of the Geth fleet and the Malarian Alliance defense fleet are still there, which can provide him with good support, but also not only because they are behind him. There are also a large number of warships arriving one after another. The most important thing is that he believes that his fleet is enough to rival the fleet of the Galactic Empire, and even defeat them!
After judging the situation between the enemy and ourselves, Mar-Tuk decided to launch the attack first, without giving the imperial fleet any chance to rest and recover.
The Imperial fleet has been fighting in front of Anxin Planet's defense line for more than a day now. Their energy loss and shield loss are very serious. If after arriving on the battlefield, you still stupidly wait for your backup to arrive before launching an attack, you would really be a fool!
Admiral Mar-Touk is not only not stupid, but he is also very good at calculation.
Although he still has about 100 capital ships and more than 3,000 small and medium-sized warships that have not yet arrived, the current fleet is enough to pose a threat to the imperial fleet. As long as he can continue to harass and wait until his subsequent fleet arrives, then he can launch a full-scale attack and win this decisive victory!
The fleet led by Admiral Mar-Tuk is different from other fleets. Although it seems that there are not many battleships, in fact, its combat capability is very powerful!
With the cooperation of the geth fleet and the Malarian Alliance defense fleet, the commercial combined fleet divided into four directions and grabbed the imperial fleet like a sharp claw!
...
"General! The separatist commercial fleet is attacking us! The geth's spaceship is also making a detour!" The adjutant hurriedly came over and reported to Gilad Pellaeon.
"Try to engage in battle, and immediately open fire to block it! Let the light cruiser formation return to the rear of the formation to deal with the geth!" Gilad Pellaeon said solemnly.
In fact, without his order, the Imperial-class Star Destroyer and the Victory II-class Star Destroyer had already begun bombarding them with heavy turbolaser cannons. Countless turbolaser beams were fired at once, almost immediately At the same time, countless flames exploded in the fleet formations of both sides!
Gilard Pellaeon did not order his fleet to form a Pellaeon ring to meet the enemy. Although the Pellaeon ring can deal with the attack of geth warships well, this formation is very inflexible. , and the most important thing is that if you can't defeat it, it will be very inconvenient to retreat.
At present, the Commercial Combined Fleet launched an attack immediately without waiting for their backup to arrive. The confidence they showed also made Gilad Perreon a little afraid. He needed to test the opponent's combat effectiveness.
After the first round of firefight, Gilad Perrine discovered that the opponent's firepower was really not weak at all!
As the distance between the two parties continued to close, various scans had been completed, and various optical images and data scan results were sent. Only then did Gilad Perrine realize that the rushing over This commercial joint fleet is actually of very high quality! !
Although the current strength of the Commercial Combined Fleet sounds small, with only 100 capital ships and 1,500 small and medium-sized battleships, in fact, the number of heavy cruisers in the Commercial Combined Fleet is particularly large!
For a long time, since the outbreak of the Clone Wars, all parties in the galaxy have been accustomed to calling warships with a length of more than 1,000 meters as capital ships. This statement actually came from the Kingdom of Dawn, because the navy of the Kingdom of Dawn was used to making such classifications. Later, both the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems found this statement to be simple and clear, so they also spread it. It’s open and everyone is using it now.
Therefore, the number of capital ships in a fleet has become the most basic benchmark for measuring the fleet's combat capabilities. Although it is not very accurate in many cases, it can still be roughly estimated. But the commercial combined fleet in front of them obviously threw this division method into oblivion.
Because among their formations, the capital ships have been distinguished, including 60 Behemoth-class battlecruisers, 20 Cole-class battlecruisers, and 10 Martha-class missile ships Heavy cruisers, 10 Sova-class aircraft carriers.
But below these battleships, they also have more than 200 550-meter-long heavy cruisers that look like miniature versions of the Behemoth-class battlecruisers, and 50 heavy cruisers with a length ranging from 700 to 800 meters. Multiple ships!
In addition, most of the other warships are light cruisers in the range of about 300 meters, and there are more than 1,000 of them! ! After careful inspection, it was discovered that the number of destroyers and frigates below 300 meters in this formation was very small, only about 200.
To describe it in simpler terms, if you want to calculate the total tonnage, this commercial combined fleet is actually almost half of the imperial fleet.
Considering that the Imperial Fleet has more than 200 capital ships and more than 500 small and medium-sized warships coming from behind, and at least two-thirds of the warships of the Commercial Combined Fleet have not appeared, then considering that both sides are completely In other words, their tonnage is actually about the same!
Girard Pellaeon looked at the 200 miniature Behemoth-class ships in the optical image, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He knows this kind of battleship!
In the Battle of Planet Kira, this type of heavy cruiser called the Minotaur class participated in the battle for the first time. Although not many participated in the battle at that time, according to battlefield reports, this heavy cruiser was only 550 meters long. The firepower is very fierce, comparable to that of a battleship!
The length is 550 meters, but the firepower is equivalent to that of a battleship! This is another sign that the Separatist ship technology of Planet Dawn is far superior to that of the Galactic Empire.
Now, a full 200 Minotaur-class heavy cruisers appeared on the battlefield. Not only that, but among the more than 1,000 light cruisers, there were at least four models, and all of them were very unfamiliar, appearing on the battlefield for the first time!
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle, but at this moment, Gilad Pellaeon discovered that he knew nothing about this commercial combined fleet!
On the battlefield, dazzling beams of light flashed past, shooting out with devastating power.
The Yamato cannons on the bows of the 200 Minotaur-class heavy cruisers have been charged and started shooting directly! The Yamato Cannon fires an electromagnetic confinement fusion ion cannon, which is equivalent to confining the energy of a super-large nuclear bomb with an electromagnetic field and then launching it. It is very powerful.
The deflector shields of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer that was hit by the Yamato cannon were flashing violently. It was obvious that it had suffered a serious attack.
The claw-shaped formation of the Commercial Combined Fleet continued to circle in four directions, driving far away as if the claws were opening. Detours in four directions can limit the firing direction of the Imperial Fleet, preventing them from concentrating their firepower. Moreover, such detours in four directions can also bring out more features of the cruisers of the Commercial Combined Fleet.
And at this time, Gilad-Pellaeon also began to discover that in the Commercial Combined Fleet, there were not only miniature versions of the Behemoth class, but also miniature versions of the Cole class and Martha class. -class, Dunov-class, Aiken-class battlecruisers!
At this moment, he felt as if he had seen a ghost, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "What on earth are these separatists doing!! What are their battleship designers thinking?!"
