Chapter 655 breaks out! The Second Battle of Bespin
653, Outbreak! The Second Battle of Bespin
22BBY, August 10th.
The main fleet of the 19th Legion of the Galactic Republic departed from the defense line of the planet Carl and the capital planet Havin, and arrived at the planet Glenzon, close to the planet Bespin.
After receiving the information, the Fourth Civilization responded immediately. Navy Commander-in-Chief Igor Zavalov personally set off for the expedition at the age of 71, leading 5 Cole-class battlecruisers and 5 Marquises. The Shah-class heavy cruiser set off from the planet Dawn, entered the hyperspace channel via the planet Annaji, and arrived at the planet Bespin at noon that day to organize defense.
Igor Zavalov is also one of the veterans who was awakened from the very beginning and followed Tang Xiao. He was originally an elite-level talent with a beard unique to the northern race. He was already 58 years old when he was first awakened.
Originally, Tang Xiao was only interested in his experience and stability, and was planning to let him transition and recruit master-level or even legendary-level talents to replace him. However, he took the position of Navy Commander-in-Chief like a duck to water and did a great job. It is very outstanding. It can be said that he is one of the biggest contributors to the fourth civilization's navy from the first few blade fighters to the current huge scale with hundreds of battleships.
The only time Igor Zavalov went to the battlefield in person was the Battle of Marastal Fjord 12 years ago, and that battle also demonstrated his outstanding commanding skills. . In recent years, he originally planned to retire, but the outbreak of the war made him postpone his retirement plan, preparing to wait until Tang Xiao determined the successor to the Navy Commander-in-Chief.
And now, he once again stepped from behind the scenes to the front, personally commanding this largest fleet battle since the founding of the Fourth Civilization!
At 7:00 pm on August 10th, Galaxy Standard Time, 80 Jaeger-class cruisers, escorted by 20 Aquitens-class light cruisers, left the Grensson planet spaceport. After synchronization, they all entered the super Space channels.
At 7:30 pm, with an unusually violent flash of white light, this large-scale Galactic Republic fleet left hyperspace and entered the Bespin galaxy.
The Second Battle of Bespin breaks out!
......
Admiral McGrane stood on the bridge of his new flagship, the Longbow Hunter-class cruiser, looking coldly at the huge gas giant in front of him. planet.
Although nothing can be seen from this distance except the huge gas planet, under the powerful sensors of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, the deployment of the entire Bespin galaxy can be seen.
More than a dozen huge floating cities float in the Bespin life zone. Near the largest floating city, Cloud City, a fleet with 10 large warships as the core and more than 50 small warships as supplements is being arranged very carefully. cloth around.
No, there should be more!
Admiral McGlenn's eyes became extremely sharp. After the defeat in the last battle of Bespin, he did not gain anything. At least, he knew the dirty tricks of the Dawn Planet.
After carefully summarizing his previous failures, Admiral McGrane attributed the cause of that failure to his unfamiliarity with various weapons and equipment on Dawn Planet. It was precisely because he didn't understand the fighting methods of Dawn Planet that he was defeated by their endless new equipment.
Just now, he understood that there must be a large number of invisible Gauss firepower platforms and hangar platforms around the planet Bespin, and among those hangar platforms, there must be a large number of ghost fighters on standby!
The Dawn Planet possesses very advanced stealth technology, which is already well known to the Galactic Republic Army, and the Republic's Military Scientific Research Department is also intensively developing radars that can counter stealth technology.
In fact, with their current level of technology, it is not difficult to discover invisible targets. The difficult thing is to make this technology miniaturized and flexible. If this point cannot be solved and the Republic's fighter jets can directly detect the opponent's stealth fighter, then they will always be slow in air combat.
After all, Dawn Planet’s stealth technology won’t stand still forever.
Admiral McGrane's fingers lightly crossed the holographic star map. The opponent did not have many large battleships, so there was no need to face the troublesome Cole-class battlecruisers and the equipment installed on them. That kind of powerful shaft-based kinetic energy weapon still made him very happy.
It’s just...
McGlenn asked: "Didn't the intelligence say that the other party built a huge armed space station on the planet Bespin?"
The staff officer on the side shook his head and said: "We are comparing with the intelligence department. Yes, the huge armed space station has indeed not been found during the current detection."
Admiral McGrane was not in a hurry to issue an attack order. He carefully looked at the holographic star map, and suddenly he felt a sudden change in his heart. Jump and asked loudly: "How many floating cities are there on Bespin?"
"Well, according to the pre-war data, there are 17. The largest of them is Cloud City, and some of the others are Energy floating cities, some are industrial floating cities and agricultural floating cities..." the staff officer said. Admiral McGlenn raised his hand and pointed to the signal of one of the floating cities on the holographic star map, and said solemnly: "No, this is their large armed space station."
"Isn't this... one of the floating cities?" the staff officer frowned.
"I know the locations of the 17 floating cities on Bespin planet very well..." Admiral McGlenn said seriously: "The locations of the other floating cities have not changed much, only this factory! Floating City - Shefa!"
"Shefa City?"
"The location of Shefa City has now moved to the front of Cloud City, and has broken away from the Bespin Life Zone. The figure is hidden in the turbid atmosphere of the Bespin planet, making it impossible for our spies to enter, so there is very little information. Moreover, according to detection, the energy level of Shefa City has increased by more than three times compared with normal conditions!" McGlenn said.
"You mean, the separatists transformed the entire city of Shefa into an armed space station? No... If that's the case, this is no longer a space station, this is a fortress city!" The staff officer was shocked.
"I somewhat understand the plan of Dawn Planet. If it is a fortress city, it does have a chance to block our offensive." McGlenn looked solemn, "But I am also prepared! 80 Jaeger-class battlecruisers The power will tear this fortress city apart together!"
He punched the console and said loudly: "All ships attack! Close the distance and start a decisive battle!"
......
At the same time, inside Yuncheng.
A team of heavily armed Salarian agents were escorting more than a dozen people and dragging them into a park square. They saw hundreds of people standing there in fear, being beaten by several The giant mecha looked at it without daring to breathe.
The leading Salarian captain said to the Fourth Civilization Army officer wearing a Liberator combat uniform: "The operation is over. All those who want to report intelligence to the Republic are here. I can guarantee that the Galactic Republic will protect Bespin." I know nothing about the situation inside the planet."
The Army officer of the Fourth Civilization nodded and praised: "As expected of a Salarian agent, I have heard your rumors for a long time, and now it seems that it is true. Awesome.”
“Don’t waste time on these polite words without further ado.” The Salarian waved his hand and turned around to leave.
The officer looked at the dense buildings in Cloud City and saw that almost every space port was filled with a large number of small warships, hundreds of them. ! And all of them are...
Javelin-class guided missile frigates!
He smiled coldly and said: "That's right, without further ado."
"You have no right to do this! We are the nobles of the planet Bespin!" one of the well-dressed people in the crowd shouted.
As soon as he started, others also shouted. These people include men and women, old people and children, nobles and homeless people, everything.
But the officer was unmoved. He waved his hand gently, and the 30mm rapid-fire cannons on the arms of several giant mechas spurted out scorching tongues of flame!
There was no trial, no torture, not even the most basic identification.
In this extraordinary period, as long as you send information to the Republic in violation of regulations, there is only one way waiting...
Death!
Da da da da! Ta-ta-ta-ta! ! The 30mm rapid-fire cannon is so powerful that after the shell hits a person, that person can't even find a piece of intact flesh!
Those people screamed loudly and fled, but the Salarian agents around them also raised their guns and pulled the triggers!
Da da da da! Da da da da da da!
