Chapter 551: The bloody battle at Bespin (7)
549. The bloody battle at Bespin (7)
Soon, the intelligence department from the rear sent a message. Admiral McGrane looked at the message with a frown. Wrinkle, "According to information from the intelligence department, the Phantom fighter was launched 12 years ago and entered the black market. It is a very best-selling fighter. We have all the data here, but it is obvious that the performance of the Phantom fighter used by the separatists Much higher than the performance in our records.”
“This is inevitable. In the past 12 years, the Phantom fighter has probably been continuously improved, and Dawn Planet must have accumulated through the large-scale export of Phantom fighters. A large amount of combat data is needed for targeted upgrades. In contrast, many of our fighters have not been tested in actual combat," said Jedi Master Aiden Ward on the other side, who is a Nikto and an ordinary Nikto. Compared to a person's brown skin, his skin is closer to black and looks a bit scary.
"Hmph! In contrast, the Republic's Parliament has not allowed weapons ordered by the military to flow into the market before. Those congressmen are afraid of an increase in weapons production and are also afraid that our military will receive more funds through the arms trade. ! This has caused all our weapons and equipment to be built behind closed doors!" Admiral McGlenn said loudly with a hot temper.
Green-Betty glanced at him and said calmly: "That can't be said, Admiral McGrane. As far as I know, Quat Power Shipyard, Rendili Interstellar Power Company, Corellia Engineering Company, they They all have a very complete weapon design and testing system. Even if the weapons and equipment coming out of this system are not tested in actual combat, they will undergo a large number of simulation tests and there will be no performance problems."
McGlenn. Jiang shook his head, looked at the intelligence and continued: "There is also intelligence that shows that a group of pirates called the Black Ships once appeared near Tatooine, and they used invisible ghost fighters. But, you know, this The intelligence did not receive any attention. Haha..."
Seeing this, he sneered and slapped the table, "Stupid! If it weren't for the wise Speaker, he established the Grand Republic Army. If that were the case, the Dawn Planet's fleet alone could go all the way to the inner ring star area!"
When it came to this topic, he was obviously very angry, but he did not forget his responsibilities, and to Green- Betty said: "General, I suggest that we launch a forced landing operation immediately."
"Tell me your plan, Admiral McGrane, you are the most professional in commanding war." Green- Betty said.
Admiral McGrane pointed at the holographic star map and said: "Look, the separatists' stealth fighters did not come to attack us directly. Now our two sides have returned to a long-distance artillery battle. This situation is separation." This is what the communists are very willing to see. Their warships have powerful firepower, and they also have this kind of kinetic cannon, and our only advantage is that our warships have stronger shields than their opponents. If this continues, our fleet will not be our opponent!"
"I agree with that." Green-Betty replied.
“But our fighter group still has an absolute advantage. The separatists’ only chance of victory is their stealth fighter, but now we are unable to fight against it. I just confirmed with the technical department that the Jaeger-class fighter The cruiser's radar can detect and lock on stealth fighters within 5,000 kilometers. "
"In space battles, this distance is very deadly, and a fighter with afterburner turned on can cross this distance in just a few seconds. ." Aiden Ward said.
"But this is by no means the speed of engagement, except for you Jedi." Admiral Maglen said, "So, in order to continue to play to our advantage, we must choose the battlefield ourselves!"
As he spoke, he placed a heavy point on the planet Bespin on the star map. "Forcibly landing on the planet Bespin, forcing the separatist stealth fighters to fight around those floating cities, and our warships can provide guidance for our fighters. A good plan." Green-Betty said, "Only in this kind of situation If we land under such circumstances, our army may suffer a heavy blow during the landing process."
"But this is our biggest opportunity! 15,000 fighter jets should not be used because of this. Just retreat with the mere presence of 300 stealth fighters! Moreover, the Speaker has high hopes for us. If we cannot dampen the arrogance of the separatists, then this war will be very difficult to fight," said Admiral McGrane.
"Then in that case, Master Aiden and I, as well as our apprentices, will also participate in the battle. We will do our best to provide cover for the soldiers of the army." Gorey Betty said to McGlenn The general bowed, "May the Force be with you, Admiral McGrane."
......
As Admiral McGrane issued the order, the formation of the Republic fleet suddenly changed. The 47 Jaeger-class cruisers that were still capable of combat rushed towards the Bespin planet against the firepower of the Fourth Civilization Fleet. In previous battles, they lost a total of 13 Jaeger-class battlecruisers, 4 of which were completely destroyed and 9 of which lost their combat effectiveness.
Matt Horner, who was aware of the intentions of the Republic fleet, immediately ordered all the remaining 8 Higurah-class battlecruisers, 41 Cole-class battlecruisers and 10 Sova-class aircraft carriers to decisively meet them. Go up. During the battle, they lost 2 Higurah-class ships and 9 Cole-class ships. One Cole-class ship was destroyed, and the others were severely damaged and unable to fight.
In the fleet artillery battle, the Fourth Civilization Fleet had a slight advantage, but as Admiral McGrane judged, if this continues, this advantage will expand like a snowball, and finally reach The point of no return.
After recovering the previously returned fighter jets, the Republic Fleet also began to take off fighter jets. But the difference was that this time their fighter jets kept taking off and taking off. In the end, a total of 3,000 V-19 Torrent fighter jets took off. And 1,500 Z-95 Headhunter multifunctional fighters!
The huge numerical gap made the Fourth Civilization Fleet no longer dare to let its fighter groups take the initiative to attack. The 300 ghost fighters released their stealth status one after another and began to charge the stealth device, surrounding the fleet without haste. Move out.
The warships of both sides were still exchanging fire. The fleet of the Galactic Republic resisted the fire and rushed straight to the outer orbit of the planet Bespin. In the process, the distance between the fleets of both sides became closer and closer, until it reached a very dangerous level.
The Jaeger-class battlecruiser began to concentrate its main energy supply on the shield, and then fully unfolded the hangar platform at the front of the battleship. A large number of transport aircraft were released and began to attack the planet Bespin. More than a dozen floating cities in the life belt have launched comprehensive landing operations!
