Chapter 629 The Battle of Christophsis (5)

627. The Battle of Christophsis (5)

A Cheer-class assault landing ship directly landed on the capital crystal of the planet Christophsis Landing on the eastern outskirts of the city, 8,000 clone warriors quickly rushed out from a huge 60-meter-wide hatch. Using the TX-130 Saber hover tank as a leader, they launched an assault on the robot army besieging Congressman Bail Organa.

The 500 clone soldiers brought by Senator Bail Organa held fast and took advantage of the difficult terrain to hold on here for a whole week. Now there are only more than a hundred people left. Under the protection of these soldiers, Bail Organa was a little depressed, but at least he was safe.

After receiving Senator Bail Organa, these clone troopers began to deploy more armored units from the Cheer-class assault landing ship.

Because the planet Christophsis has organized a group of rebels, although they are basically motley crews who can barely shoot, they can still be regarded as a firepower point, so this batch of reinforcements carried more armored units.

This Cheer-class ship carried 70 AT-TE walkers and 10 AZ-7 self-propelled artillery. The clone army immediately began to deploy the AZ-7 self-propelled artillery at high altitudes. , launched a bombardment against the robot army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the distance.

Worm-Lotham was eager to capture the Crystal City as soon as possible, so it only adopted the strategy of surrounding Bail Organa's troops without attacking this hard nut. The forces were used to attack Crystal City.

But he underestimated the determination of the Christophsis people to defend the capital and the size of Crystal City. This super city with a population of 800 million is densely covered with various crystal-textured buildings, which are very hard and The soldiers of the Christopher Sith Resistance Army are hiding in every place and firing cold shots, but those robots will not hide!

Among the almost endless buildings in this super giant city, the 400,000 robot army invested by Worm-Lotham barely caused a splash. Although the robots continue to drive away civilians and destroy the defenders' resistance, their progress is still very slow.

Although in the long run, the fall of the planet Christophsis is only a matter of time, it is obvious that as the Tatooine planet opens up the waterway, allowing the large-scale fleet of the Galactic Republic to pass, leaving Worm-Lother Mu's time is running out.

The clone army also entered Crystal City from several other directions. They fought with the robot army in the city, effectively delaying the robot offensive. At the same time, the clone army on the Cheer-class assault landing ship that landed in the eastern suburbs also established an artillery position and seriously threatened the rear of the robot army, leaving Worm-Lotham in a chokehold.

As a last resort, Worm-Lotham once again asked the Retail Federation for help, but the Retail Federation, which had lost even its underpants, had no choice but to find a corporate alliance.

Frustrated, Parcell Argent connected to Admiral Trench's communication and cursed, but Admiral Trench retorted confidently. He directly asked Parcell-Argent, why did the Republic fleet have the opportunity to enter Christophsis through the hyperspace channel on Tatooine?

He claimed that his plan was perfect, but there were flaws in the work of the Confederation of Independent Systems, which allowed the Republic's fleet to come directly here.

These words left Parcell Argent speechless, and Admiral Trench was also the best fleet commander he could find. In the end, he could only ask Admiral Trench in a low voice if there was anything he could do. .

Admiral Trench’s method is also very simple, send reinforcements, both the fleet and the army are needed.

Now the number of Republic clone troops on the planet Christophsis has reached 30,000, and they have already seen how powerful the clone soldiers are. These 30,000 troops are absolutely capable of driving their robot army back to their hometown. .

So now we need more fleets to suppress the Republic's fleet again so that they cannot continue to send reinforcements unscrupulously. After cutting off their backup, they still have to find a way to kill these 30,000 clone soldiers.

Admiral Trench told him directly that the Galactic Republic sent 20 Jaeger-class ships and 15 Aquitens-class ships, and even the 6 Cheer-class ships could join the battle. In comparison, the fleet in his hands is not enough to defeat the Republic's fleet. The Hiigaran-class battlecruiser alone is completely unable to compete with the Jaeger-class.

Parcel Argent is going crazy. Where can he find such a fleet now?

Because according to the plan of the Supreme Command of the Independent System Confederacy, he must join his fleet in General Grievous's attack on the planet Kamino. Because as a Kuriva who has lived by the sea for a long time, Parcel Argent is relatively familiar with amphibious operations. After all, the Quarren, the most important aquatic race on the Confederacy, were temporarily unreliable due to the unstable political situation on the planet Mon Calamari, so Grievous asked the Enterprise Alliance fleet to lead this attack.

The arrangement from the Supreme Command made Parcel Argent dare not disobey, but in this way, he would have no more power to continue investing in the planet Christophsis.

Admiral Trench told him that if that didn't work, he would ask the High Command for help. In this way, General Grievous would naturally make arrangements to transfer some fleets from other places. The current Federation of Independent Systems is at its peak, and is far from the point where the fleet is stretched thin. The only embarrassment is the corporate alliance with too much appetite.

But Parcel Argent was absolutely unwilling to go to this point. The reason why he made a huge bet was to dominate the planet Christophersis. Now asking for help from the Confederate High Command, even if the planet is captured, it will not be his.

He absolutely didn't want to see this result.

After much searching, Parcell-Argent recruited 5 Disobedient-class light destroyers and 10 Generosity-class frigates from various places. Of course, although they are named light destroyers and frigates, in fact, due to the current very confusing classification of battleships in the Milky Way, the Generous class, an old acquaintance, is a behemoth of 825 meters, and the Defiant class is also a 1187-meter-long ship. Large fire support ship.

But Admiral Trench clearly told him that this was definitely not enough. He asked Parcell Argent directly if he knew how many fighters were carried in the 20 Jaeger-class battlecruisers?

One Chasseur-class ship can carry 420 fighter jets at full load, and 20 Chasseur-class ships can carry 8,400 fighter jets.

Each of the six Rookery Hook-class battleships on his side can carry 1,500 Vulture robot fighters, a total of 9,000, not to mention that the V-19 Riptide fighter can be easily destroyed At least 5 or more Vulture fighter planes, some of these 9,000 Vulture robot fighters must be allocated to support ground operations.

Under such circumstances, if a large-scale fleet battle continues between the two sides, the Republic's fighter group can easily destroy the Confederacy's fighter group, and then escort a large number of Y-wing bombers to blow up the Confederate fleet!

You must know that whether it is the Hiigaran class, the Disobedient class, or the Generous class, these warships are designed for the main purpose of fleet decisive battles, and their anti-aircraft firepower is far insufficient.

“When the Hutts on the Tatooine planet opened the shipping lanes, the plan of the Christopher Sith planet had already failed...Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk...” Admiral Trench stroked the Ao at the corner of his mouth. Lim, said word for word in the communication. "This is absolutely impossible! Do you know how much money I invested in this battle? Just for this fleet I gave you a guarantee of 5 billion credit points in advance!! 5 billion!! The Semires people are completely here. Blackmail! If I can’t occupy the planet Christophersis, do you understand that all my investments will be in vain?”

“If this is a gamble, tsk tsk tsk tsk... The Republic has upped the ante and whether it can afford to keep up, you have to think carefully... tsk tsk tsk tsk... ..." Admiral Trench said slowly, "The Republic fleet is landing... When the landing operation is completed, they will gather the fleet and attack me. I don't know how long I can hold on... tsk tsk tsk tsk..."


After that, he simply closed the communication.

Parcel Argent almost smashed everything that could be smashed on the desk in front of him, then he dialed Count Dooku's communication and roared loudly, "Why did the planet Tatooine... Open the channel to the Republic?! Why do the Hutts want to help the Republic?"

"Watch your words," Count Dooku said coldly, "For the Hutts, we. Diplomatic efforts have been made. In fact, it is for this reason that the High Command has not started the battle of Christophersis. I will hold you responsible for starting the war without permission. Now, you should end it as soon as possible. The battle on the planet Christophsis, blocking the hyperspace channel to prevent the Republic's huge fleet there from threatening the planet Geonosis."

"You..." Parcel Argent only felt in his heart. Depressed, it seemed to him that everyone had sufficient reasons to defend their failure, but it was precisely because of their failure that the war on the planet Christophsis was so corrupt, wasn't it? !

At this time, Parcel Argent's assistant, Tinari King, said: "If we can't mobilize more battleships, we can at least find enough robots. As long as we continue to exert pressure in the ground battle, we will have a chance to win.”

"But those are 30,000 clone soldiers..." Parcel Argent pondered.

"Then send 1 million robots there! Gather our battery-level cargo spaceships, and leave all escort work to mercenaries and bounty hunters!" Tinari Jin said fiercely.

"But there are not many mercenaries willing to enter the battlefield..." Parcel Argent hesitated.

"Then give us money! We can't find the battleship, but we can still find ways to get money!" Tinari said, "I also know an arms dealer who can also provide us with some equipment. That person The self-proclaimed Santa Claus, whose real name is Yuri Orlov, has a deep relationship with Corellia Engineering Company and the Fourth Group. He can be regarded as an arms dealer with a wide range of connections. "

Pasay. Er-Argent thought for a long time with a painful expression on his face, and finally nodded fiercely.

...

"Your Majesty the Governor, the Western Theater has been silent for too long. I hope that you can launch an offensive on the planet Carl in the near future to put pressure on the 19th Army of the Republic. If you can capture their headquarters in Harvin in one fell swoop, The planet would be better." In the holographic projection, the terrifying cyborg General Grievous said in a hoarse voice.

Tang Xiao sat on the sofa, supporting his chin with one hand, and asked, "After the defeat of the 19th Army of the Republic in the Battle of Bespin, they searched for warships everywhere, and now they are on the defense line of the planet Karl. There are a total of more than 300 warships of various sizes and 4 large armed space stations. Under such circumstances, you still want me to take the initiative to attack... Is it because of the 18th Army? "

General Grievous? Quite frankly, he replied: "That's right! Our fleet attacking the area under the jurisdiction of the Republic's 18th Army suffered heavy losses on the planet Sullest. The Governor of the 18th Army, Wilhuff Tarkin, is a great threat to us. ! I need you to defeat the 19th Army as soon as possible, and then open up another front on the flank of the 18th Army, so that Tarkin's troops can lose sight of each other!"

"Unless we can allow the Republic's fleet to take the initiative to attack my defense line, Otherwise, we will not be able to capture the defense line of the Republic's 19th Army on Planet Karl." Tang Xiao shook his head.

"The Gran people have been integrated into your war zone. This is the greatest support I can give you. I don't care what the outcome is, but you must launch an attack within a week! I will arrange the follow-up support." Grievous said the general.

"Okay, I will do it." Tang Xiao nodded.

"I wish you good luck, Your Majesty the Governor." General Grievous said and cut off the communication.

A moment later, the communication came again. After being connected, the person who appeared in the holographic projection was Count Dooku.

"General Grievous just told me the decision of the Supreme Command. I am looking forward to the performance of your fleet." Count Dooku said with a smile.

"It is not a good choice to take the initiative to confront the defense line of the 19th Army of the Republic. Our loss on the planet Sulust is also a lesson learned from the past." Tang Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Perhaps, I need a plan to destroy the Republic's fleet. Seduced out."

"If you need my help, I will be happy to help you." Count Dooku bowed slightly.

Since the previous great victory in the Battle of Bespin, the Dawn Planet has become famous in the Confederacy Council, and Count Dooku's attitude towards him has become better and better.

"For the specific implementation of the campaign, I will immediately ask my staff to come up with a plan. So, why are you looking for me?" Tang Xiao smiled and asked.

Count Dooku nodded, his smile became a little weird, "I would like to invite you to participate in the secret maiden flight ceremony of our new flagship."
