Chapter 522: The Battle of Geonosis (10)
520. The Battle of Geonosis (10)
At this time, 8 Rookery Hook-class battleships broke away from Geonosis He entered the synchronous orbit of the planet Si and joined the formation of 15 Cole-class battlecruisers led by Severance Tann.
Tang Xiao's figure appeared on the screen in front of Tann. He smiled faintly and said: "You did a good job, Tann. Let's go, we have helped Count Dooku a lot, and the war has started. We should carry out our own plans."
"If the commanders of the Republic are only of this level, I think we can indeed plan more." Severance Tann held out her index finger. His hair was constantly tangled on his fingertips, "Let's go, I just fired a few shots here, and there is really nothing interesting here."
Tang Xiao smiled. Indeed, what Severance Tann said was true. Their fourth civilization's own fleet indeed only fired a few cannons. Whether it was involved, mobilized, or meleeed, they were all owned by the Confederation of Independent Systems. The 15 Cole-class battlecruisers here even escorted The shield was not even scratched.
And this time the goal has been achieved. During the Battle of Geonosis, it was no longer possible for the Republic to destroy the transport fleet of the Confederation of Independent Systems. Although the battle situation on the ground was still the same as in the plot, it lost a thousand miles. Without the support of the fleet in space, the results they can achieve will definitely be very limited.
Even speaking, in order to bring back these 200,000 troops, the battlefield here may also involve more troops and fleets of the Republic, turning this battle into a war of attrition.
If this is the case, then the next plan can indeed be a little more adventurous.
Tang Xiao looked at a planet on the star map with a sneer on his lips.
...
At this moment, on the planet Geonosis, on the frontal battlefield of the main lair, the battle situation has begun to become increasingly cruel. The Confederacy of Independent Systems assembled an army of 1.1 million robots on the front and launched wave after wave of offensives against the landing sites established by the Republic's clone army.
There are also a large number of heavily armored units in this robot army, including 7,500 large OG-9 nest spider robots with a height of 7.32 meters, and 15,000 DSD-1 dwarf robots that can walk on vertical walls and mountains. Spider robots, 4100 Fire Hail missile robots, and more.
But this robot army did not have much tactical command. It only knew how to rush forward stupidly, and was soon destroyed in pieces under the firepower of the clone army.
The ground forces of the Clone Army deployed hundreds of strong positions relying on 2,160 AT-TE all-terrain tactical walkers, and also deployed more than 8,000 E-Web heavy blaster machine guns, which can It is said that it is a heavy blaster machine gun that combines firepower, reliability and portability. It is a very cost-effective weapon that the Republic has rarely seen in recent years.
Behind the position, 100 SPHA-T all-terrain self-propelled artillery provided terrifying long-range firepower. This self-propelled artillery, 140.2 meters long and 20.6 meters high, was equipped with a terrifying firepower that could easily destroy a warship. Every time Even if you fire, you can directly blast out a sea of fire hundreds of meters long and more than 20 meters wide in the steel torrent of the robot army!
After transporting all the troops, the 1,000 LAAT/I assault transport aircraft also began to rely on air superiority to bombard the robot army's positions unscrupulously.
In addition, the clone army also deployed more than 100 TX-130 Saber hover tanks as a mobile force to focus on clearing out high-threat units among the robot army.
Faced with such a luxurious firepower configuration, even if the number of robots of the Confederacy of Independent Systems is 5 times greater, they cannot shake the solid position of the clone army. There are hundreds of robots almost every second. destroyed. The destruction of those expensive heavy combat machines also gave Count Dooku a headache in the command center.
In the sky, Jedi Master Adi Gallia led a team of 15 Jedi Knights flying Delta-7 fighters and 40 clone pilots flying V-19 Torrent fighters to attack the Sabos Chapter that invaded the atmosphere. The spaceship launched an assault.
After a long battle, a large number of Sabos Chapter fighters were shot down. Faced with the extremely fierce Jedi fighter jets, they panicked and tried to escape. As a result, one of the battleships accidentally entered the clones. The firepower range of the legion's ground forces was concentrated by more than 30 SPHA-T self-propelled artillery, and it crashed within 5 minutes.
The remaining two battleships were later shot down by Adi Gallia.
After Severance Tann's fleet left, the Galactic Republic's army once again regained the upper hand.
In order to save the defeat, General Grievous, who was busy directing the transport fleet to pack the boxes and leave as soon as possible, ordered Trabo's 10 Generosity-class frigates to immediately enter the atmosphere of the planet Geonosis to support the operation.
At the same time, Count Dooku also began to mobilize fleets from other directions to rush over for reinforcements. After learning that Master Windu and Master Yoda were here, he also wanted to succeed in the battle and bring down the core of the Jedi Order headed by them. Catch them all.
The remaining 50 or so Jedi Knights led by Master Windu also took over control of the clone army, with each Jedi Master commanding a separate force. Although these Jedi masters have not attended military academies, they have the ability to predict danger. With the professional assistance of clone officers, their combat capabilities are further enhanced.
The clone army destroyed a large number of robots along the way, and then they stepped on the remains of robots all over the ground to launch a counterattack. The 200,000 clone army broke through the robot army's front line from seven directions, forming a gap and dividing the robot army.
The robot army, which lost most of its heavy combat machines in the previous attack, was completely defeated, but these robots who did not know fear still launched attacks continuously, and were then destroyed by the powerful firepower of the clone army - like this Instead, it accelerated the destruction of the robot army.
As the battle line continued to advance, even the spherical core ships of some Rookery Hook-class battleships were destroyed by the firepower of the SPHA-1 self-propelled artillery that entered the range because they had no time to take off.
Seeing that the battle situation was not going well, Newt Gunray, Thorn Hill and others quickly fled in a spaceship. Count Dooku also left his army to the anxious General Grievous and left. The Geonosians, led by Archduke Bogor of Geonosus, hid in the city network they built underground and dared not come out for the time being.
At this time, Trabo's fleet finally arrived belatedly and launched an air battle with 13 Cheer-class assault landing ships, finally saving a little bit of the defeat.
Here General Grievous finally sent the transport fleet away, and he also came to the scene to take command. Under his strict orders, Bogle-Inferior once again mobilized 150,000 Geonosian soldiers and more than 400,000 droids from elsewhere to join the battle.
