Chapter 2361 Desperate Charge
2362, Desperate Charge
“The third Star Destroyer formation, turn to the side and rear! Destroy the enemy in the U-97 area! General Nadel, the 17th High Speed Fleet handed over I'm giving you command, be sure to protect the Starlight Tracker. Aircraft carrier! NL-14 area... Damn it! Order the Black Snake Commander II-class dreadnought to block it with your body and let them blow it up! The separatist fleet must not be allowed to pass through this area!" Admiral Lane quickly issued various combat instructions in front of the holographic combat star map.
He has tried his best to keep the imperial fleet in formation, but it is still extremely difficult. The Imperial fleet had been betrayed by the planet Grad-Anselm earlier, and then was attacked by more than 1,500 Undertaker-class light cruisers. Then it faced the front and rear attacks of the Geth fleet. Numerous changes had long since destroyed those battleships. At a loss.
You must know that Gilad Pellaeon is only the commander-in-chief. The instructions he issues can only be regional general direction orders, while the specific tactical command is provided by the theater commander and each ship. The captain of the battleship decides. Even more detailed, the gunner of a certain turret of a certain Imperial-class Star Destroyer may have other ideas.
The fact that the Imperial Fleet has been able to persist without chaos until now is a testament to Gilad Pellaeon's outstanding command ability.
And now Gilad Perrine is also suffering from unspeakable pain. He must grit his teeth now and must not issue orders to retreat. In fact, many defeats began with such an order to retreat. On the surface, this kind of retreat seems to be able to escape more warships, but in fact it can only escape the first few ships. The other warships will be entangled by the enemy and then cannot escape at all.
Not only that, this will completely lose the possibility of resistance due to the scattered formation. The devastating defeat in the Battle of Planet Kira originated from the commanders' orders to retreat.
Girard Pellaeon must command the fleet to resist resolutely, and then when the time is right, drop some broken battleships, so as to cover the escape of the large force.
But even this is not easy!
Now the formations of both sides are intertwined, and Undertaker-class light cruisers are flying everywhere, making it difficult for the Imperial fleet to form an effective cluster.
Girard Perrine's brain was running wildly as if overclocked, thinking of countermeasures. After a moment, he issued an order in a deep voice: "The Second Squadron, immediately attack the enemy's main force! Other battleships, abandon the enemy's main ship, and use all your strength to destroy the enemy's light cruiser!"
"General! What are you doing? Do you want us to die?" the commander of the Second Squadron said through gritted teeth.
Girard Pellaeon's expression turned ferocious in a rare sight, and he said word by word: "Come forward, your entire Second Squadron are martyrs. You will receive adequate pensions, and your family will Also be treated well. If you don't move forward, the Imperial Fleet will regard you as deserters and execute you on the spot! Your family will be stigmatized for the rest of their lives, and your life will be worse than death!" "You bastard!" Commander of the Second Squadron! The officer scolded angrily.
"Execute the order!" Gilad Pellaeon said in a deep voice.
At the same time, next to the commander of the Second Squadron, several clone soldiers had stepped forward, and the cold blaster rifle barrels in their hands had been pressed against his head.
"Execute...the order!" Gilad Perrine repeated again with a ferocious look on his face.
The commander of the Second Squadron stared at Gilad Pellaeon, his eyes seemed to be on fire. He squeezed out a sentence from the bottom of his throat, "Inform all ships in the fleet and charge to the death. ! Those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy!" About 70 battleships of the second squadron began to launch a desperate charge against the battleships of the Kingdom of Dawn. This squadron was extremely fierce and had the momentum to not give up until it hit them head-on. .
In this state, the Empire-class Star Destroyer's huge body and powerful energy supply finally showed their effect. The Kingdom of Dawn's fleet had to allocate most of its firepower to deal with these desperate assaults of Imperial-class Star Destroyers.
......
"These imperial guys are going to run away!!" In the fierce battlefield, Ferrus Olin and Jax Pawan led their respective Viking fighter formations Weaving through the dense fire net.
No matter what kind of artillery fire, it is impossible to hit their fighter jets! They have predicted all attacks through the Force! Moreover, the Viking fighters behind were all ace pilots who had experienced hundreds of battles, and they tried their best to keep up with the two Jedi Knights.
Although such an action is almost equivalent to suicide, for these ace pilots who have joined the rebirth plan, death is just a file load.
Ferus-Olin drove the fighter through countless anti-aircraft fires and rushed straight towards one of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers!
In the long river of Force, he has seen everything that happened next.
In ten seconds, the deflector shield of this Imperial-class Star Destroyer will be broken! And now, he has driven the fighter jet into the best launch position!
"Listen to my command! 3, 2, 1... launch!!" Ferrus-Olin gave the order, and he immediately pressed the launch button, and a proton torpedo was launched instantly. At the same time, Those Vikings fired proton torpedoes too!
When more than a dozen proton torpedoes were fired directly at the bridge of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer from the side and rear, the light suddenly flashed continuously, and several Yamato cannons hit the battleship squarely!
The already overwhelmed deflector shield flickered and disappeared immediately.
At this moment, the proton torpedo launched previously had already flown over! Even though this Imperial-class Star Destroyer activated the bridge's backup shield immediately, it was already too late!
The Jedi were caught in less than 10 seconds of neutrality, and more than a dozen proton torpedoes directly hit the bridge!
In a series of violent explosions, the bridge of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer was completely destroyed. The warship, which had lost its command center, suddenly lost control and flew forward under the influence of inertia.
Ferus-Olin accelerated directly, passed through the flames of the explosion, and flew towards the next target.
At the same time, several more Viking fighter jets immediately flew over to join his formation on the battlefield, supplementing the previously lost fighter jets.
"These people...are not afraid of death..." Ferus-Olin glanced at the fighter formation behind him, his eyes were a little gloomy. He couldn't even feel the fear of these pilots in the force!
What kind of army can be so indifferent to death? This is the common question in the minds of the three Jedi Knights who participated in the battle.
The Commercial Combined Fleet does not have many carrier-based aircraft, but the activeness of the three Jedi Knights Ferrus Olin, Jax Pawan and Luminara Anduli made the empire The fleet truly felt the despair of the Federation of Independent Systems when it faced the Jedi!
