Chapter 763 Aiming to win
762. Aiming to win
“There are hidden Republic fighter jets on Terminus?” Matt Horner frowned, “This is a trap, Republic We have been prepared for our actions, and we have already attracted the planet Terminus, just to set up such a trap. "What should we do? Retreat?" the combat staff asked with a cold sweat. road.
"Our combat analysis has made it clear that now is the best opportunity to occupy the planet Terminus!" Matt Horner's eyes were extremely firm, and he said decisively: "Don't Pay attention to the target on Terminus! Our biggest enemy is always the Republic fleet! Leave the affairs on the planet to our ground forces."
"Yes!"
At this time, another alarm came from the sensor, and 20 Galactic Republic Aquintens-class light cruisers broke away from the hyperspace channel and joined the battle. What is deeply disturbing is that the alarm of hyperspace fluctuations has not stopped.
Matt Horner took a deep breath, stared at the holographic star map, and murmured: "I hope our army can withstand this test."
The fleet of the fourth civilization continued to retreat, broke away from the gravitational circle of Terminus planet, formed a combat formation, and recalled all fighters and bombers that went to the planet for bombing, preparing to engage the enemy and start a fleet battle.
The army of the Galactic Republic obviously has a clear plan. The Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets hidden on the planet Terminus did not break out of the atmosphere to fight the Fourth Civilization Fleet.
In fact, this is a very wise choice. As a fighter of the last era, the Z-95 Headhunter has proven in countless battles that it is no match for the Phantom fighter. Therefore, guarding the planet's atmosphere is the correct tactic.
But what was the right tactic for them meant another plan failed for Matt Horner.
Then all that's left is a head-on battle.
Matt Horner's eyes became extremely sharp, and he waved his hand suddenly and shouted: "Cole-class battlecruisers, ships 11 to 20, charge the super matter electromagnetic gun again !"
"Yes!"
"Measure the distance, preview the target, and fire!!" Matt Horner shouted again.
The salvo of the main guns of the 10 Cole-class battlecruisers kicked off the frontal battle of the fleet.
The Galactic Republic fleet continued to advance. After entering the optimal range of 1 light minute, it opened up its firepower and took off a large number of fighter jets to prepare to attack the Fourth Civilization Fleet.
Turbine laser cannons and heavy X-rays were intertwined, while thousands of fighter jets from both sides were also engaged in a fierce battle in the air.
Similar to the previous battle, the Galactic Republic’s fighter jets had an absolute advantage in numbers, while the Fourth Civilization’s fighter jets struggled with their stealth devices.
Moreover, the new generation fighter jets from both sides were also put into actual combat in this battle.
The Galactic Republic ARC-170 fighter jets have been installed, and there are more than 300 of them in this fleet!
The Fourth Civilization Viking fighter was also put into mass production, and 100 of them participated in this battle - and this is also a stealth fighter.
The battleships of the Galactic Republic are still rushing to the battlefield. Half an hour later, 20 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers also joined the battle!
What is disappointing is that although the hyperspace fluctuations have weakened a lot, they are still continuing!
Matt Horner formed all the battleships into a defensive formation, and the Cole-class battlecruiser's super-matter electromagnetic gun did not continue to fire after two salvos, choosing to save ammunition.
The fleets of both sides continued to exchange fire.
However, because there was a large gap in the arrival time of the Republic fleet, a strong concentrated firepower had not yet been formed. They did not continue to attack forward, but chose to stop at a distance of 0.8 light minutes. Gather the fleet where you are. Follow-up warships are still arriving. After 5 2000-meter-level Invincible-class battlecruisers, 15 Karak-class light cruisers, and more than 40 Corellian DP-20 gunboats arrived on the battlefield, no more warships arrived. Come.
Like the Fourth Civilization, this fleet is also one of the few mobile fleets that the 18th Army of the Republic can free up when it is attacked from two directions.
It's not that these battleships don't want to arrive at the same time, it's mainly because these battleships are hugely different in terms of performance, age and size, and the hyperspace engine levels they are equipped with are also completely different. Therefore, even if they set off at the same time, they can only arrive at the battlefield one after another in the end.
But even so, this fleet has already formed a numerical advantage over the fleet of the fourth civilization.
After the battleships were assembled, the Republic fleet took back the 2,000 fighter jets that had taken off previously, and then took off again with 2,000 new fighter jets.
At the same time, all battleships formed a wedge formation and launched an assault!
Matt Horner commanded the fleet very carefully and defended desperately. The Cole-class battlecruiser protected the Sova-class aircraft carrier in the rear, while the Sowa-class aircraft carrier began to retreat as far away from the fighting zone as possible.
In fact, according to various plans in the combat plan, the possibility of early intervention by the Galactic Republic was not unconsidered. However, in this case, the judgment of the Supreme Command was to retreat immediately.
But after thinking about it, Matt Horner chose to continue fighting.
First, the number of Republic fleets is not as large as they imagined.
The second...the fourth civilization...needs too much space...
Hyperspace channels are almost what the fourth civilization dreams of.
The planet Bespin gave the Fourth Civilization its first planet on a major hyperspace lane, but it only had one direction and was blocked by the 18th Army of the Republic.
What they want now is another direction of attack.
This is just like Jingzhou to Liu Bei. If Jingzhou is lost, the world will be lost... Because only Liu Bei in Yizhou is left, and this is the only direction left.
The same is true for the Fourth Civilization. Only by occupying the planet Terminus can we gain more strategic offensive directions, defeat the 18th Army, and completely open up the passive strategic situation.
Now...cannot retreat!
Matt Horner gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"General! The Supreme Command sent an order requiring us to withdraw from the battlefield immediately according to the combat plan." The combat staff came over and took out an authorization message from the Supreme Command.
Matt Horner took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Return the call. Judging from the situation on the front line, our army still has the possibility of seizing the planet Terminus. Please continue the attack plan. ! Terminus, our fourth civilization is determined to win!”
The combat officer’s eyes also became firm, he stood at attention and said loudly; “I am a natural disaster!” >
Matt Horner waved his hand suddenly and said loudly: "Call all ships! Fight to the death, I will be a natural disaster!!"
