Chapter 516: Battle of Geonosis (4)
514, Battle of Geonosis (4)
The formation of the 20 Cheer-class assault landing ships immediately changed, and the flagship The Indomitable was in the center, and seven other battleships led by the Majestic and the Inquisitor launched the assault, while the remaining 12 battleships full of clone troops provided fire support from the rear.
The Cheer-class assault landing ship is not just a landing ship, they are also very powerful battleships.
The heavy-duty turbolaser turret installed on the side of the Cheer-class began to rotate, aiming at the 10 Generous-class communication frigates that had also deployed in the array ahead, and opened fire directly!
Bright and thick explosive laser beams were fired instantly, lighting up the dark universe.
"Fight back immediately! Don't let the Republic's fleet get close to our transport ship!" General Grievous roared an order on the bridge of a Rookery Hook-class battleship used as the flagship of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. .
Fleet Commander Trabo was sweating coldly. He very carefully deployed his 10 Generosity-class frigates in an attempt to block the Republic's Cheer-class assault landing ship and drag the battle into a long-range artillery battle. among.
But the commander of the Republic, Mabel Garson, did not give him this chance at all. Seven Cheer-class ships rushed forward, turning the engine thrust to the maximum, and the shield energy was concentrated directly ahead. The super huge body began to accelerate and crashed into the formation of the Independent System Confederacy Fleet!
At this moment, the white light of hyperspace jump appeared again on the edge of the planet Geonosis, and then six Mel-class cruisers broke away from the jump and appeared here. This type of cruiser is 195 meters long. Although it is not big, it is Flexible and powerful.
At the same time, a communication was connected to the bridge of the Indomitable, and a Ferolin with an octopus head appeared on the screen, "We are the Locke Avengers, coming to hunt down the Sabos Chapter. Do you need any help?"< br>
Mabel Garson's hand quickly passed over the console, and countless data came into view, "Locke Avengers, pirate organization, leader Nym, has been robbing Trade Federation ships in recent years. Team, given your past, you may be allowed to join the battle. Please flank the enemy so that our fleet can break through the defenses of Geonosis."
"I just want to cause some trouble for the Trade Federation. , and completely wipe out the Sabos war group!" Nim said.
"Then you chose a good time. The Sabos Chapter is fighting the Jedi Knights in the atmosphere of the planet Geonosis." Mabel Garson said.
"Let's do it!" After Nimu finished speaking, he began to command the six Mel-class cruisers on his side to attack from the flanks.
The fleets of both sides continued to approach, and then Mabel Garson gave an order. All the Cheer-class assault landing ships opened their hangars, and a large number of V-19 Torrent fighter jets took off, rushing over like locusts!
Seeing the fighter jets taking off from the Republic, Nim's Locke Avengers also took off dozens of H-6 Havoc fighter-bombers. This is an excellent-performance fighter-bomber designed and manufactured by Nubia Engineering Company.
At this time, the Confederate warships lost most of their fighter jets due to the previous rush of Jedi warriors, and many fighter jets entered the atmosphere to support the battle there. Faced with the Republic's fleet taking off more than 400 V-19 Riptide fighter jets with excellent performance, they were completely caught off guard!
Under the command of Melb Garson, the Republic fleet rushed directly into the formation of the Confederate fleet at the fastest speed. Melb Garson, who graduated from the Republic Naval Academy, gave full play to the cheering As a landing ship, it had strong side firepower and rushed into the formation of the Confederate fleet, turning the battle into a chaotic battle.
Confederate Fleet Commander Turbo did not expect the Cheer-class attack on the landing ship at all. Instead, his position was disrupted by the impact of the Republic V-19 Riptide fighter. The powerful front of the 10 Generous-class frigates The firepower was completely unable to be used, but it was brought to its own rhythm by the Republic's fleet.
While the eight cheering ships in front were entangled with the Confederate fleet, the battle situation was clearly displayed through the projection and sent to the command center. The fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems was completely unable to withstand the offensive of the Republic fleet, and Mabel Garson's tactics left Tribo at a loss.
The Confederacy of Independent Systems is mainly in the outer ring of the Milky Way. There are basically no naval academies in the galaxies within this range. The commanders of the Confederacy are self-taught except Trench. Except for the geniuses, most of them are self-taught mediocre people. Apart from yelling and rushing me, they have no ability to adapt to the battle situation.
Unfortunately, Turbo is that kind of person. He was originally the commander of the Trade Federation's debt collection fleet, and he usually bullied planets that had no industry or army. He really needs to be compared with Mabel Garson, an officer who graduated from the regular naval academy of the Republic.
Although the Galactic Republic has basically abandoned its military force since the Rusan Reform, the officer training system passed down for thousands of years immediately showed gaps in such details. Even though Mabel Garson, the Republic's tactical advisor, is an officer who follows the instructions, she is still not comparable to a debt collector like Turbo.
What's more, Master Yoda is personally in charge.
If you open a distance and engage in bombardment, there is still a huge gap in the firepower of the Cheer-class assault landing ship compared with the Genergy-class. However, when the two sides engage in a melee, the main guns are concentrated on the front of the Genergy-class. The communication frigate's disadvantages are fully demonstrated.
General Grievous also lost sight of the other, because at this time, the Rookery Hook-class battleships that he could directly command were completely immobile and were loading the robot army. The only Turbo fleet that could be counted on It was also completely unable to withstand the desperate attack by the Republic's 20 Cheer-class assault landing ships.
This made Grievous, who had experienced many battles, feel a strong sense of powerlessness for the first time. The feeling of being powerless made him almost crazy.
"Turbo! Take care of your fleet and keep your distance! Keep your distance!!" General Grievous roared in the communication. After discovering that Turbot's fleet was not working, he began Mobilize fleets from other directions to come for support.
He had no idea that the Republic Fleet would be so difficult to deal with, nor did he expect that the famous general and genius promoted by those corporate giants would turn out to be so unbearable.
Mabel Garson saw that the Confederate fleet was fighting independently and had no formation at all, so she decisively ordered: "Break through the Separatist formation and land on the planet Geonosis!"
12 A cheering-class assault landing ship loaded with clone troops immediately began to press on, and the more powerful firepower made Turbo's fleet completely lose sight of one thing.
At the same time, Tang Xiao, who was watching Obi-Wan's public execution in the arena, looked at the communicator, and then sent a message:
Attack!
