Chapter 769 The End of Jabimu (Part 2)
In the base camp of the Galactic Republic Army on the planet Jabimu, a fierce offensive and defensive battle is unfolding in the Cobalt camp.
The Jabim National Army gathered its last strength, gathering more than 25,000 soldiers, cooperating with more than 10,000 remaining robots and more than 6,000 remaining jackals to launch a general attack on the Cobalt camp.
Both sides have no way out, and both sides' heavy equipment has been used up in the previous battle, so this offensive and defensive battle is completely a hand-to-hand battle!
The Jabim National Army charged without fear of death. When there was a robot in front, they rushed with the robot. When the robot in front was destroyed, they stood up and used their bodies to prepare for the future. comrades blocked deadly blaster beams.
The IG-227 Fire Hail combat machinery had been completely destroyed by Master Cyrus's counterattack before his death in the previous battle. Now there are only four remaining OG-9 Nest Spider combat machinery that can provide limited fire support, so these Jabi The soldiers of the Democratic National Army carried cluster bombs and charged towards the Republic DF-9 anti-infantry turret that was shooting wildly!
The Republic Army is also almost in dire straits. In order to ensure the strength of previous offensives due to poor supplies, they handed over most of their equipment and ammunition to the frontline troops, and now stay behind on the Cobalt. Most of the people in the camp were wounded and soldiers who had been rotated from previous battles, as well as some Jabim government soldiers whose equipment and morale were not very good.
The most important reason why the Republic is not well supplied is the Festival Offensive launched by General Grievous. This great large-scale series of battles directly crippled the Galactic Republic, and Jabi After this large-scale map painting, the location of the planet Mu changed from an area of contention between the two sides to the rear of the Federation of Independent Systems.
And the ensuing large-scale offensive against the planet Terminus by the Dawn Planet also made the Republic very nervous. The Dawn Planet, which had twice severely damaged the Republic's mobile fleet before, will now be affected by every operation. Serious concern. Coupled with the strong connection between the 18th Army Governor Wilhuff Tarkina and the Chancellor Palpatine, many resources of the Republic are now beginning to be tilted towards the 18th Army, so there is no spare time to pay attention to the planet Jabim.
Facing the desperate attack of the Jabim National Army, the Republic Army also fought back desperately.
The soldiers of the Jabim government army were unable to retreat, so they naturally gritted their teeth and fought.
As long as the wounded in the field hospital could still move, they got up and picked up weapons to join the battle. If the blaster rifles were not enough, they would use pistols. If the pistols were gone, they would climb up with a few grenades.
The Jedi apprentices who had not participated in the previous battles and were only responsible for logistics and medical work in the rear also stepped onto the battlefield. Many of them could not even use lightsabers to bounce blaster beams, so they Ri also joins the fight with a blaster rifle.
Many Jedi apprentices are not over 14 years old. Perhaps on the inner ring or core circle planets, such children are still in school and enjoying a carefree childhood. But for Jedi apprentices, they Having the gift of the Force also comes with responsibility.
This battle is destined to be a bloody river.
...
When Anakin Skywalker and the remaining soldiers he led returned to the Cobalt camp, all that was left here was the devastated and broken battlefield, with the destroyed DF-9 anti-infantry turret popping up. With billowing smoke, the trenches were filled in during repeated bombings, and the wreckage of several LAAT/I assault transport craft fell to the ground, and the flames were not extinguished.
Anakin did not approach rashly, he just hid behind a hill and checked the situation of the camp with a telescope.
There is no doubt that this camp has been destroyed, the flames and smoke cannot be extinguished even by heavy rain. The result of the battle is already obvious, because some B-1 combat robots are still on the battlefield, sorting out the loot under the command of a team of Salarian soldiers.
Most of these B-1 combat robots are missing arms and legs, but at least they can still do some carrying work.
And on this battlefield, there are more corpses...
There are corpses everywhere...all over the ground...almost every corner...
filled...< br>
Corpse!
Countless corpses of clone soldiers, Jabim government troops, Jabim national army, jackals... almost covered the entire battlefield.
On this front with a width of more than 10 kilometers, almost every inch of land is the object of competition. You can even see the corpses of soldiers from both sides entangled together. It is a hand-to-hand fight at the end of the battle... Such a scene Anna Jin has never seen it at all, but in fact, when both sides have lost their heavy weapons and the battlefield is covered by heavy rain, sometimes hand-to-hand combat is the simplest and most direct way.
And...Jedi Knights...
Seeing the corpses on the ground being lifted up and rummaged through by robots, and then thrown naked into the pile of corpses, Anakin Skywalker I just felt an unknown fire spreading in my heart.
The body of a Sulust girl was picked up by the feet with one hand by the B-1 combat robot and shook a few times. A shiny card fell out of her clothes.
Anakin knows her, her name is Elora, she has powerful telepathy and can directly perceive the thoughts of others even from a hundred meters away, and the most important thing is...she just Just turned 17. That card was a gift from her good friends in the Jedi Order.
On the other side, two Salarians were squatting in front of the body of a female Jedi Knight and studying it carefully. They were still discussing seriously from time to time. They seemed to be very interested in the victim in front of them, which was purely academic.
Anakin's pupils shrank instantly, it was Master Leska! ! One of the three Jedi Masters responsible for overall command in this military operation against the planet Jabim! She was also the supreme commander of the army after the sacrifices of Master Nocuna and Master Cyrus, and her sacrifice showed that...
I only saw the two Salarians tearing off Les. Master Ka's clothes reveal the graceful body curves under the robe.
Maybe for the Salarians, they are just curious about this powerful person, but for Anakin, this means the greatest offense!
A tendon in his brain seemed to have broken, and he roared and rushed forward! At this moment, there was nothing else in his mind except the thought of killing!
kill! kill! kill! kill! !
Kill them!
Kill them all! ! !
......
When Anakin woke up from his anger, the battlefield had returned to silence, and the ground was still full of corpses and debris, so much so that he didn't even know what he had just chopped into pieces. What exactly is it.
"Well done, General."
"This is the fate these Separatist bastards deserve." Every clone trooper who walked past him said with respect or enthusiasm.
They were talking about a killing...
In such a relaxed tone.
Anakin Skywalker lowered his head and saw that what he was stepping on were corpses scattered on the ground. Lilac skin, fine scales...
Salarian.
A race that is said to have come out of the unknown star field and formed an alliance with the Dawn Planet.
I just chopped them up, as well as every Separatist soldier and robot on this battlefield who was cleaning up the loot. But... this is still killing!
"What a beautiful battle." A clone trooper passed by him and said.
Yes... they are just clones, with a life cycle of only 20 to 30 years. They are killing machines that have been taught the means of killing since childhood. They are also... the killing machines that this republic now uses to fight against the separatists. Anakin's eyes are cold...
They will not have any sympathy. Just like now, they are only concerned about how their generals kill simply and efficiently on the battlefield, and will not care about the people behind the killing. significance.
What these separatists want is nothing more than a full meal, a place to live, and warm clothes...
After learning the story behind the battle on the planet Jabim Afterwards, it was hard for Anakin not to sympathize with such an adversary.
But...
Anakin looked at his hands, then clenched his fists tightly, and said calmly: "Let's go! Follow the traces and pursue! Maybe we still have troops retreating!"
...
< br>Anakin thought well. There is indeed a Republic army that has survived tenaciously. They are retreating southward, waiting for their only hope - reinforcements from the Republic.
The Jabiem National Army chasing them was not many, and most of them were robots that had been saved from the battle, most of which were A-series combat robots.
However, under the angry attack of Anakin Skywalker, these pursuers were quickly killed and dispersed. When the fleeing Republic troops noticed the arrival of reinforcements, they immediately mustered up their last strength to turn around and fight back, wiping out all the pursuers.
After reuniting with the remaining soldiers, Anakin found that they only had more than 400 clone soldiers and more than 1,000 soldiers of the Jabim government army. They were commanded by clone commander Alpha-17 and the Jabim government army. Army commander Ollis Gilman.
"Although it is inappropriate to say this now, I am very happy that you saved our lives, Master Anakin." Gilman did not know the difference between a Jedi Knight and a Jedi Master, and he stepped forward came and said, "Besides, you are already the last Jedi Knight we have here."
Alpha-17 said: "We failed to hold our position, General Anakin. The Separatist attack was too crazy. ... All the Jedi, including the apprentices, entered the battle. When our position was torn apart, Master Leska led the last few Jedi to launch a desperate assault, trying to kill Jabi who came to the battlefield. The leader of the Separatists, Alto Stratus. Before she left, she asked us to retreat immediately to preserve a trace of fire for the Republic on the planet Jabimu. "Did she succeed?" At this moment, even he was surprised by his somewhat cold tone.
Alfa-17 shook his head, took out a portable holographic projector and turned it on. In the holographic image, Alto Stratus was still wearing a military uniform, and the blood stains on his body had not been washed away, but he Already giving an impassioned speech, declaring his victory.
The planet Jabim will be independent from the Galactic Republic. They did not allow their devastated planet to join the Confederation of Independent Systems and join the war, but they still signed a series of cooperation agreements with the Confederacy in mining and other aspects.
The voice of Alpha-17 sounded from the side, "General Leska was once very close to Alto Stratus. At that time, Alto was also very tired. But that traitor, Uru-U Alex stayed close to Alto. He fought with General Leska and blocked her offensive. Then the Yunyu Commandos arrived in time and completely surrounded General Leska and the others..."
"This It's not over yet! Master Leska's sacrifice will not be in vain! After receiving reinforcements from the Republic, we will launch a counterattack to completely defeat the separatist forces of Alto Stratus!" Anakin Skywalker is determined! He said, "I have sent an emergency message to Coruscant for help, and I believe they have already taken action."
"I only hope that the Republic's assistance will be strong enough... When Alto wins this victory Every day after that, his power continued to grow," Ollis-Gilman said.
"Yes...as long as I'm here!" Anakin's eyes were burning with fire.
...
One day later, the Republic's "reinforcements" arrived - a Consul-class cruiser landed under the escort of 10 LAAT/I assault transport boats.
The clone soldiers were still arranging their equipment in an orderly manner, but those from the Jabim government army and their commander Aulis Gilman could not wait to surround them.
"How much can this spaceship bring?"
"This is a consul-class cruiser! No, what we want is a professional battleship, a large battleship! Not this kind of thing Diplomacy is in tatters!” Already some Jabiim people started talking.
The hatch opened and a Republic officer stepped out, and he wasn't even a clone commander.
"Hey! What are you doing? How much can this spaceship hold?" Gilman walked up and asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, the order I received was to communicate with General Anakin." The Republic official naturally pushed Gilman back.
"So, where are the other transports?" Anakin asked.
"There are no other transport planes. We are here to pick you up and leave here. There is a powerful storm in this area of Jabim Planet. Just passing through the storm is full of dangers. We must Leave here within an hour, otherwise when another storm full of thunder and lightning merges with the storm here, we will be forced to stay for several days, which will be fatal to the Cheer-class assault landing ship we are aboard. . ” the official said.
The entire scene suddenly fell into a dead silence, including Anakin, especially the soldiers of the Jabim government army, all looked at this side with dull eyes.
"This is an order from the Supreme Leader, Chancellor Sheev Palpatine." The official handed over a holographic projector.
The expression on Anakin's face was twitching, and his palms were trembling. He took the projector and read the instructions given to him by Palpatine.
When he turned around again, his face was expressionless and he said to Gilman calmly: "...Thank you for your brave fighting. You have proved your loyalty to the Republic with your actions. But please It must be understood that we are fighting on thousands of planets and we must use every soldier. I will not leave my troops here to die, so the clone army will withdraw from here..."
Gill. When Man heard this, tears actually flowed from the corners of the eyes of this iron-clad man, and he roared loudly: "We gave everything for the Republic! Life! Money! Resources!! But you abandoned us!! Alto-Strato Si is right! He is right!"
Anakin took a deep breath and said: "This planet is your home. Now, fight for your own home."
"We no longer have a home!! The war in your Republic has ended Destroy it!!" Gilman roared and raised his blaster rifle, and the other Jabim soldiers also raised their guns, "I order you to leave this spaceship behind! We want to establish a government in exile! !”
A flash of fierceness flashed in the corner of Anakin’s eyes, which he had been unable to express for the past few days. He raised his hand and shook it, and the powerful force suddenly disarmed all the Jabim soldiers around him, invisible. The force grabbed Gilman's neck and threw him out!
"Aiming weapons at us is not what you should do, Gilman." After Anakin left these words, he did not dare to face these desperate Jabim governments anymore. The soldier turned around and walked onto the spacecraft.
"This is your answer! The Galactic Republic!! This is your answer!!" Oris Gilman was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it at Anakin's back. .
