Chapter 663: The Battle of Christopher Sith (Seventeen)
661, The Battle of Christopher Sith (Seventeen)
22BBY, 6:41 pm on August 11, Galaxy Standard Time.
The capital of the planet Christophsis, Crystal City.
Explosions, gunshots, and roars were heard here almost all the time. Clones, robots, and Christopher Sith were mixed together to start this cruel battle.
Especially in the core area of the battle between the two sides, the defense line of the commercial center, the battle was even more intense. In this once prosperous commercial center, which was almost equivalent to a city within a city, the total number of troops invested by both sides exceeded 400,000!
"Gust Company! Quickly go to the east side building complex for reinforcements! A large number of living dead appeared over there!"
"The shield of the battleship Hall has been penetrated, Zi... prepare to retreat! "
"Air support...! Where is the air support? There are separatist stealth fighters everywhere!"
"G-7...the soldiers' positions have fallen. ...It’s Zhi…Black Zhi…Team!”
"The residents dispersed quickly! The east side of the isolation zone was filled with... gaps! We need to be nourished..."
"Ned..."
"Zi..."
During the fiercest battle, in almost all the command channels, tactical channels, and squad channels of the Republic's army, except for the almost non-stop sizzling sound, Nothing is left.
Rex suddenly threw away the communicator and said to Anakin Skywalker on the side: "No, General, the entire communication is completely paralyzed! Could it be that the communication tower was destroyed?"
< br>
"This is impossible! Even if the communication tower is destroyed, our battleships can still function as communication nodes!" Anakin looked solemn, "Even if the Hall is forced to retreat, there are still two Cheer-class ships above Crystal City. Battleship! Our communication cannot be terminated! Unless there is a problem with the communication tower and the battleship at the same time." "Then... what if there is a problem with the communication tower and the battleship at the same time?" Nuo frowned and said.
Anakin Skywalker was silent. After a while, he said: "Communication must be re-established! We go to the communication tower immediately!"
"General, the entire battle situation has now been There is chaos. The black army has not yet been solved. Although the living dead have been restricted to the north of the city, there is a possibility of breaking through the blockade at any time. There are also those mutated Inchori... Our problems arise one after another. In the end, none of them were solved," Rex said in a deep voice, "I'm worried that this is just part of a series of separatist conspiracies..."
"Communication is the basis of everything, and separatism may be the plan. Cut off our communications and let us perish in chaos," Anakin said. "Restore communications without delay! I think Obi-Wan is doing the same thing now on the battlefield in outer space."

...
At the same time, on the outer space battlefield of the planet Christophsis, relying on the terrifying missile sea of the Martha-class guided missile heavy cruiser, the fighter force that the Galactic Republic was proud of finally encountered a serious challenge!
Contrary to the Javelin-class guided missile frigates, which mainly target the opponent's battleships, the Martha-class guided missile heavy cruisers are extremely fierce in appearance, but their main combat targets are fighter jets or small warships.
The missiles supporting the Masha class are the 'Fire Cloud' series missiles, which are available in three specifications: large, medium and small. The main killing method of this missile is to produce a radiation cloud after the explosion, and in the absence of wind, In space, this kind of radiation cloud can exist for a long time, constantly compressing the activity space of the opponent's fighter jets.
A saturation attack by a Masha class can cover a range of thousands of kilometers. The fighter jets involved in it will be destroyed by the dense radiation clouds if they are not careful.
And this does not mean that the Martha class poses no threat to the capital ship. The radiation cloud of the 'Fire Cloud' series missiles is actually a high-energy particle with powerful energy. The physical properties of this particle are between energy bodies and entities. Time, once acting on the shield, about 30% of the high-energy particles will directly damage the battleship armor without triggering the shield reaction, which can be described as extremely vicious. This is also the first shield-piercing weapon of the Fourth Civilization. Salarian scientist Arroyo attaches great importance to this weapon, because it is related to the subsequent development of a series of shield-piercing and even armor-piercing weapons.
With the fire cover of the Martha-class heavy cruiser, Severance Tann gathered the fleet and launched an artillery formation to attack the Republic fleet. She divided the fleet into Second, attack simultaneously from the north and south poles of the planet Christophsis.
Wulf-Yularen took off a full 5,000 fighter jets to attack, and only at a heavy loss could he stop Severance Tann's crazy attack.
At this moment, bad news came from the ground battlefield!
The bad news is that there is no news!
"Check the communication immediately! Why can't any ground troops on the planet Christophsis be contacted now!" Obi-Wan Kenobi said loudly.
"All communication devices are completely normal and not damaged. All communication signals sent to the ground have been received. There are no signs of damage to the ground base station." said the communications soldier.
"Then in that case, why is the communication interrupted?" Obi-Wan frowned, and suddenly he felt something. He turned to look at the communications department and found that the signaling device over there was constantly sending messages, " What message are we sending? "
"It's a request for help. The current situation is not optimistic, and I think we should ask for help." Admiral Wolf-Yularen said.
"You also think you should ask for help, so this order was not sent by you?" Obi-Wan immediately grasped the point. He walked over quickly to check the message, "...our fleet...was attacked by Dawn. Planet A fleet is attacking, requesting support..."
He was suddenly shocked, "No! We haven't determined the number of the Separatist support force at all. Why does this message accurately indicate that this is Dawn? Planet A fleet?"
Wulf-Yularen also immediately noticed something was wrong, "Quickly stop the signal transmission!"
"No...can't stop it..." After the operation, he turned his head with astonishment.
"Damn it! Our communication system has been hacked! Check it immediately!" Obi-Wan said loudly.
...
"I just received news that our communications have been interfered with. The focus of the separatist attack has shifted to our communications facilities! A special force is coming, we must stop them! "In the Central Communication Tower of Crystal City, Sergeant CI-3331 said to his soldiers.
"I'm a little worried. From just now, it's as if we have been isolated by this war. I don't even know what we are doing? The wave of living dead mentioned before has not come." A clone soldier Something felt wrong in his gut, but he couldn't tell why.
"Because of this, we cannot make any mistakes! We have lost contact with the space fleet... The communication tower cannot be lost." Hua Tou said seriously.
After a while, Hua Tou suddenly pointed in one direction, "Here it comes! Right over there! Fire!!"
"Fire!!" The clone troopers hiding behind the bunker immediately fired at the shadow approaching in front.
Over there, Rex quickly led his team to cover on the spot, "Asshole! The separatists have indeed occupied the communication tower! Prepare to fight! We must take back this place!"
