Chapter 517: The Battle of Geonosis (5)
515. The Battle of Geonosis (5)
At this moment, on the bridge of the Indomitable battleship, I kept pestering Master Yoda, who was standing there on crutches, watching his nose and heart without saying a word, suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and said to Mabel Garson: "It's approaching, huge danger."
Mabel Garson was stunned, but out of trust in the Jedi and Master Yoda, he asked: "Master Yoda, do the Separatists still have reinforcements?"
"Well..." Yoda Master Da nodded, thought for a while and said: "Land on the planet, start as soon as possible. No fighting, loaded with soldiers."
Mabel Garson nodded and immediately issued the order, "The landing team gets rid of the entanglement, enters the atmosphere immediately, and launches the attack as planned!"
12 Cheer-class assault landing ships loaded with clone troopers He immediately gave up the fight and flew towards the atmosphere of the planet Geonosis.
When the huge spacecraft passed through the atmosphere, the surrounding air was squeezed and rubbed and began to burn. It looked as if the clouds in the sky were ignited.
According to prior scanning and planning, 12 Cheer-class assault landing ships will focus on attacking the assembly points in the eastern hemisphere of the planet Geonosis.
After the warship entered the atmosphere, it immediately carried out violent bombing of ground targets. At the same time, a large number of V-19 Torrent fighter jets took off to seize air superiority.
The defense force of the Geonosian planet also immediately took off a large number of fighter jets to attack. However, the Republic's fighter jets relied on the powerful firepower of the Cheer-class assault landing ship to easily destroy the Geonosian air force.
General Grievous cursed Trabo in the communication, but it was still to no avail. The 10 Generosity-class frigates in the hands of this mediocre man were completely entangled by the 7 Cheer-class assault landing ships. , and did not dare to leave the battle easily. Worried about causing losses, they could only continue the stalemate.
But the Geonosians still organized a large number of ground troops. Countless anti-aircraft turrets were raised from their hiding places and fired wildly at the Cheer-class in the sky. Even if the three orbital defense cannons were destroyed, they still had enough firepower to prevent the Republic fleet from flying directly over them and blowing them into pieces.
Afterwards, the 12 Cheer-class assault landing ships began to fly a large number of LAAT low-altitude assault transport aircraft (Low Altitude Assault Transport). There are two models of this assault transport aircraft. The larger one is the LAAT/C type, which is 28.82 meters long, has an empty belly and only one pylon, and can be used to transport large mechanical equipment.
The other type is the LAAT/I type, which is relatively small, 17.4 meters long and 17 meters wide. The belly is a spacious cockpit that can carry 30 soldiers.
Moreover, this assault transport aircraft has powerful firepower and can be said to be armed to the teeth. It is equipped with three scatter laser cannons, two in front and one in the back, two spherical beam laser turrets on the left and one on the right. Above are two missile launchers with 30 rounds of ammunition. There are also 4 air-to-air missiles installed under the wings. missile.
These LAAT assault transport aircraft fully loaded with personnel and equipment took off from the hangar of the Cheer-class assault landing ship. After a burst of bombardment on the ground, they landed on the ground to drop off the personnel and equipment, and then returned to the battleship to continue delivering people.
The well-trained clone soldiers immediately began to take up positions after stepping off the transport plane, establishing landing positions, setting up command centers and artillery positions at all levels.
The surface of the planet Geonosis immediately fell into flames of war. The clone army of the Republic launched an attack on the main lair of Geonosis from 12 different directions. They immediately destroyed almost all the planet's surface. The airport cut off the connection between various areas of the planet and formed a siege on the main nest.
The Geonosians were not to be outdone. An army composed of 1.1 million B-1 combat droids was assembled and took advantage of the clone army's landing deployment to launch a counterattack in their direction. .
Master Yoda also took one of the LAAT/I transport planes to the ground, and gathered dozens of transport planes to fly directly to the direction of the arena, preparing to rescue Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and assist Master Windu is still fighting in the underground factory.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred in space!
On the Republic flagship Indomitable, tactical advisor Mabel Garson received an emergency communication from the Majestic battleship fighting in space, "Colonel! We have detected a hyperspace jump signal! It belongs to a large battleship!"< br>
"Impossible!! The information given by the Intelligence Department is that the separatist fleet is basically stationed at the station! Where can they get more fleets?!" Mabel Garson was shocked.
“I don’t know, maybe the intelligence is wrong, maybe it’s separatism and other unknown forces.” The captain of the Majestic said.
Mabel Garson's eyes became serious.
In fact, no matter how the politicians quarreled in the parliament and discussed the "Military Creation Act" over and over again but failed to pass it, the military of the Republic was not idle.
As the atmosphere of war became stronger and stronger, the Republic Strategic Command also started intelligence work very early. Because the two sides are originally one family, and the flow of personnel is very complicated, in fact, there is basically a lot of information on which shipyards the two sides have and how many spacecraft they have built.
The same is true for the Fourth Civilization itself. Several of their major peripheral industrial bases have more or less informants who provide intelligence to the Republic. This is impossible to prevent. However, the only thing they are better at is the star ring of the Dawn Planet. Because the cohesion of the Fourth Civilization can be said to be second to none in the entire galaxy, the Republic's intelligence on the Dawn Planet itself is not very clear.
Of course, as the war officially breaks out, it will become more and more difficult for the warring parties to penetrate each other. At this time, the intelligence can basically only be obtained on the front line.
Currently, according to the information from the Republic Intelligence Department, most of the Separatist fleet is staying at the station and not taking action, and several monitoring stations on the main hyperspace channels have not sent any signals of large-scale hyperspace jumps. At this time, where? The coming fleet?
But he couldn't wait to continue thinking. Outside the gravity well of the planet Geonosis, a large-scale white light flashed, and then 15 large battleships appeared!
This kind of warship is 1,100 meters long and has a long strip shape. Some have large heads and small bodies. The four large laser cannons at the front are very conspicuous. Seeing these battleships appearing on the screen, Mabel Garson's eyes were dazzled, "This is... the new separatist battleship built by the Dawn Planet on the planet Semels, the Cole-class battlecruiser! Bastard! Where did they get in from? Come out!”
At this time, a signal was received on the public channel. A handsome man wearing a white general uniform, high leather boots, blue skin, red eyes and big wavy hair. A female Chiss general appears on the screen.
She crossed her legs and looked here jokingly, "Oh? Unprepared? Is this the level of a Galactic Republic fleet commander? Not as good as a freshman at our Naval Academy."
Mabel Garson gritted her teeth and said: "Separatist bastards! Let's wait and see!"
"Hahahaha! Did your hyperspace outpost only detect the main waterways? For those who have been in your area for a long time? As far as I'm concerned, no matter how complicated the hyperspace route is, it's a smooth journey. It seems like you are just a bunch of mediocre people who only know how to read." The female general laughed, "Before you die, remember. Live my name! Severance Tann, this will be a nightmare for the Galactic Republic!"
With a click, the communication was cut off, and at the same time, the front of the 15 Cole-class battlecruisers Four heavy laser cannons lit up with a burst of dazzling energy, and then a full 60 laser beams were illuminated on the Cheer-class assault landing ship that was fighting with the Confederate fleet. "The Akon is under laser attack! Confirmed to be an X-band laser!"
"The shield power is reduced by 20%, quick! Turn! Turn!!" The Republic battleship was attacked Suddenly there was chaos.
Mabel Garson quickly said loudly: "Every ship reorganizes its formation and gets out of the battle! Repeat! Get out of the battle!"
At the same time, the voice of Master Yoda also came from the communication, "Support the space battlefield , as soon as possible after completing the landing."
"Yes! Inform the landing troops and return to space immediately after putting down all the troops!"
However, saying this is easier said than done! Each Cheer-class assault landing ship carries 16,000 clone soldiers and corresponding equipment, for a total of 200,000 troops! They carried a total of 1,000 LAAT/I transport aircraft and 400 LAAT/C transport aircraft, and it took many round trips to drop off all the personnel.
At this moment in space, there are only 7 Cheer-class assault landing ships fighting with the 10 Generosity-class frigates and 15 Cole-class battlecruisers!
Severance Tann's ability to capture fighter jets is absolutely top notch!
At the same time, Severance Tann also connected to the communication of Admiral Trabo, the commander of the Confederacy. She almost pointed her nose at him and said arrogantly: "Stop You are so stupid! Give me the command of your warships - if you don't want to go to court for delaying the battle."
"No... you have no right to do this..." Special. Labo still wanted to fight, "I belong to Governor Newt Gunray..."
Before he finished speaking, he was strangled by a force that appeared out of thin air! Severance Tann raised her hand and shook it in the air. Trabo immediately started to struggle, her eyes filled with fear.
"I said, give me the command of your fleet. Idiots are not qualified to command the fleet." Severance Tann said coldly.
After speaking, she raised her hand and waved, and Trabo was immediately thrown aside by an invisible force.
This time he did not dare to disobey and quickly handed over the identification code and authority to Severance Tann.
Severance Tann said coldly: "I am your commander now. Send the status of each ship immediately and prepare to listen to my next order."
"Yes...yes..." The captains of the Generosity-class communication frigates had already been shocked by Tann's momentum, and quickly asked the T-series tactical robots equipped beside them to report the situation of their respective warships.
Severance Tann looked at the situation of each Generous class frigate on the screen and saw that the shields of these warships had suffered shield damage ranging from 30 to 70%. None of the ships' shields were breached.
This was also caused by the previous chaos. In fact, both warring parties were fighting randomly. Mabel Garson's purpose was only to entangle Trabo's fleet and create opportunities for them to land, so she took the initiative to turn the battle into a chaotic battle, which also caused the firepower of both sides to be very dispersed.
And Admiral Trabo is indeed a fool. He was unprepared for this chaotic battle. He was completely unable to exert the firepower of the two heavy turbolaser cannons directly in front of the Generosity-class frigate. Keep accompanying the Republic battleship in circles.
So even though the two sides have been fighting for a while, neither side has made any achievements. This is a long time coming.
In fact, this also shows that in the early days of this war after thousands of years of peace, both sides, from officers to soldiers, were unfamiliar with war.
Severance Tann flicked her fingertips, and countless data passed through her mind, then filtered, reorganized, and finalized the plan. Then she started giving orders...
"...Abandon the attack on the Republic Fang, Valiant and Borg battleships. Attacking them will only cause chaos in the formation."
"The Generosity-class ships No. 7, 9, and 10 gave up their current Target, a temporary attack group was formed, and the main guns were aimed at the Republic Majestic battleship and fired three salvos."
"The Generosity-class ships No. 2 and No. 6 gave up the attack, retreated and reorganized, and concentrated their firepower to drive away the Republic's warships. Fighters. "
"The No. 1, 3, 4, and 5 ships of the Generosity class spread out to both sides, leaving the firing area for my Cole-class battlecruiser. The combat team concentrated its firepower on the opponent’s Akon battleship.”
……
After a series of instructions, the 10 Generosity-class frigates of the Trabo fleet began to move in unison and began to act very purposefully. She divided the 10 battleships into four combat groups, and gave up attacking the Cheer-class ships that were deep in the formation, like shit-stirring sticks, and instead concentrated firepower on the battleships located relatively outside.
In this way, the powerful frontal main gun of the Generous class frigate can finally be used.
After another salvo, the shield of the Akon battleship on the Republic side was immediately penetrated, followed by another salvo of 60 laser beams from the Cole-class battlecruiser here! The powerful energy immediately burned through the armor of the Akon battleship. If it weren't for the fact that the cheerer-class armor was made by molecularizing the neutron star material and then collapsing between the metal molecular bonds, with unimaginable strength, this attack would have been replaced by something else. The spaceship has long since fallen apart!
But even so, a series of concentrated attacks still caused heavy damage to the Akon. Smoke billowed from the rear half of the battleship, and flames continued to spurt out from the cabin, and then were instantly extinguished in the vacuum of space.
At this time, Severance Tann said to the T-series tactical robot beside her: "Have you calculated it? According to the rotation rate of the planet Geonosis."
< br>
"The calculation has been completed and has been sent to your command terminal."
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Tann's mouth, "Then, when will you come up? The mediocrity of the Republic..."< br>
