Chapter 918 Battle of the West: Conspiracy
917, Battle of the West: Conspiracy
The 10 Jaeger-class battlecruisers left by the Republic fleet in outer space, after a fierce battle, only The next four ships entered the atmosphere of Malastar planet relatively intact.
The fallen warship fragments and parts seemed to rain down fire in the sky. The smaller ones were burned directly in the atmosphere, and the larger ones fell like heavy bombs. Severe damage was done to the ground.
After severely damaging half of the Republic fleet, the 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers led by Severance Tann did not stay much, except for 3 battleships that could only stay due to severe damage. The remaining 32 ships turned on their hyperspace engines and left directly!
The Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser formation passed through the planet Harlan-Kal, which has now joined the Confederation of Independent Systems, and then entered the Rhima trade route to the planet Salest.
Afterwards, this fleet will be stationed on the industrially developed planet Salest, and it can also deter the 18th Army of the Republic, which has launched several attacks here before, and Severance- Tann and Adi Gallia will take the shuttle back to the planet Glenzon.
In the upcoming general attack on the planet Eriadu, the planet Sullest will also play a very important role.
……
At the same time, on the ground of Malastar planet.
Obi-Wan Kenobi looked up at the burning sky, the falling fragments of burning battleships, silent... His lips were trembling slightly, not sure whether it was fear, sadness, or... anger.
"We were fooled by the Separatists." Ferrus Olin said from the side, "Even if it were any other situation, Master Kep-Xie's fleet would not have lost so miserably... Without the cover of fighter jets, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser has no ability to survive three times the number of Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers..."
He also put away his previous arrogance and anger, because the people involved in the decision-making at that time One including himself. He understood that the separatist general Severance Tann had tightly grasped their psychology, and then did the opposite, designing a wonderful trap for them to jump into.
After experiencing this time, Ferrus Olin finally understood how far away he was from revenge.
“She used a similar strategy once on the planet Geonosis. Today, it was just the other way around.” Obi-Wan Kenobi said, “And she left the ground troops behind and directly After leaving, she should be very clear that even if we only have half of the battleships left, and with the cooperation of fighter jets, she has absolutely no chance of victory. But... is it really that simple?"
Two Delta-7 fighter jets fell from the sky and stopped steadily in the open space in front. The door of the fighter jet opened and two female Jedi jumped out.
They are all Mirios with sallow complexion. The first one is about 30 years old and is the Jedi Master Luminara Unduli. The one behind them is less than 20 years old. The girl is her apprentice, BarrissOffee.
Luminara came over and said: "The separatist triple robot fighters have dispersed and retreated. I have been wondering before, how could it be possible for only 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers to carry so many fighters. Now it seems , they should have occupied some airports and military bases on the planet."
Barris Offi looked at the sky and said worriedly: "But Master Kep Xie..." "She has already. Returned to the Force..." Obi-Wan Kenobi said in a heavy tone.
"But our fight must continue!" Luminara Anduli said seriously, "If we fail because we are immersed in sorrow, Master Kep's sacrifice will become meaningless. I have also asked him just now Our air power has been repaired, and tomorrow, we will bomb the confirmed separatist-controlled areas in Pixel City."
She looked back at the sky, only to see the Republic's fighter groups starting to return. The warships were being repaired, and about 3,000 fighter jets were homeless. These fighter jets landed on temporary flat airports, or contacted the local government forces of the Dag and Gran people to ask them to provide space ports for parking. .
"But the Separatist ground forces..." Obi-Wan Kenobi looked solemn, "Severance Tann has proven countless times that she is one of the best commanders in the galaxy. First, every one of her actions contains a deep purpose. So, why did she leave the ground forces alone? "
"As mentioned before, it is impossible for 35 Dreadnoughts to defeat a fighter jet? With the 10 Chasseur-class ships covering it, she should be able to preserve the strength of the fleet to the greatest extent," Ferus-Olin said.
Obi-Wan Kenobi shook his head and said: "The last time we simply tried to figure out her strategy, it just led to the sacrifice of Master Cape Xie."
"Then what do you think we should do!?" Ferus Olin was a little impatient.
"Tomorrow, Master Luminara will command the air force cover, and then you will lead the ground troops to attack Pixel City. I will secretly sneak into the city to meet with the leaders of the Gran and Dag people respectively." Obi-Wan Kenobi looked at Ferus, nodded and said: "Please."
Ferus-Olin obviously did not expect that Obi-Wan would do this without any grudge. With such an arrangement, he was stunned for a moment, then with blazing eyes, he nodded heavily, "I will completely crush every Separatist soldier who appears in front of me!"
Obi-Wan Kenobi continued Said: "Our warships are not suitable for direct bombing of Pixel City. I will ask the fleet commander to use warships to blockade the surrounding areas of Pixel City and cut off any foreign aid that the separatists may have! As long as Pixel City can be recaptured, regardless of Severance Tan Whatever conspiracy En has, will be revealed to the world!”
……
21BBY, March 35.
As the AT-TE tactical assault walker and AV-7 self-propelled artillery roared, powerful shells fell from the sky and exploded outside Pixel City!
The Galactic Republic Clone Legion, led by the TX-130 Saber-class assault tank, launched the first wave of attack!
Boom! boom! boom! boom! ! The shells kept falling, and the huge explosion even made the ground tremble!
The Major General of the Fourth Civilization Army, Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces of the Marastal Battle, Xiao Guanghua, stood in the command center set up underground in the city. Every time a shell exploded, a large amount of dust fell from the ceiling. He He raised his hand to wipe off the dust on the holographic projection screen for the nth time, looked at the intertwined battlefield situation of red and blue on the map, and said in a deep voice: "General Severance Tann has reached the plan and left , next, it’s just us here.”
