Chapter 943: Hard to Defeat
942: Hard to Defeat
Don’t give in! Really unwilling!
This is the biggest thought in Wilhuff Tarkin, the Governor of the 18th Army of the Republic...
He clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the vast starry sky outside the porthole window. Little did he know that, under Tens of millions of kilometers away, Severance Tann was looking at this side with the same posture.
Tarkin hopes to win this battle beautifully more than anyone else, and he also understands that this is the expectation of Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. The Galactic Republic tilted a large amount of troops and resources in the direction of the 18th Army. Even when General Grievous fought all the way to the Antar system and threatened the inner ring of the galaxy, the 18th Army still continued to receive reinforcements.
He once hoped to defeat Planet Dawn's offensive head-on, especially after receiving information that the commander-in-chief of the opponent was Admiral Severance Tann.
In fact, after a series of battles such as the assault on the Sarabin planet, causing a blackout in the core circle of the galaxy, the assault on Christophsis, the assault on Cato Neimoidia, and the seizure of the Blade Fleet, now in Throughout the entire galaxy, this female Chiss general is almost universally recognized as the number one general in the galaxy.
Even putting Severance Tann together with the already notorious General Grievous, many people think that General Grievous is better at overall strategic command, but In terms of his ability to command a battle and campaign, Grievous is far inferior to the former.
So far, the Galactic Republic army is still discussing how to defeat Severance Tann - yes, so far, she has never really failed on the battlefield!
Wilhuff Tarkin knew very clearly that once he accomplished this, it would be a huge improvement for his own political and military career. He will directly become the most popular general of the Galactic Republic, and may even have the opportunity to go one step further and break the precedent and become the marshal of the Galactic Republic! !
Ever since he understood that the Planet Dawn would take the initiative to attack the planet Eriadu, Wilhuff Tarkin had been making preparations. He built the Eriadu system into the strongest fortress and gathered an army.
He believed that with such a strong defensive force, he had every chance of causing Severance Tann to suffer a big loss on his defense!
Anyway, when he becomes famous, no one will care about the gap in military power between the two sides when he defeated Severance Tann. Under the deliberate publicity, everyone will only know the final victory. It's him - Wilhuff Tarkin!
Severance Tann indeed took the initiative to launch an attack. Wilhuff Tarkin immediately went to the command center on the Eriadu satellite to take command, and assembled more than 300 warships. Near the planet Tarastra, prepare to fight Severance Tann.
However, the battle process was not as expected by Wilhuff Tarkin. He found that the fleet of Dawn Planet was almost alive!
Even facing the turret groups installed on five satellites, Dawn Planet’s fleet was not afraid at all. Under the command of Severance Tann, the Dawn Planet's fleet took advantage of its mobility, constantly harassed in detours, and then seized every opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Republic fleet!
Takin has used all his strength, using his numerically superior fleet countless times to conduct fleet decisive battles relying on the turret groups on the satellites.
Severance Tann did give his fleet a chance for a decisive battle, but every time he seized on the shortcomings of the uneven quality of his warships and pulled the formation so that the Republic fleet could not take care of both the beginning and the end, and then each Break!
And every time they fought, she seized every opportunity to attack highly maneuverable targets such as the Aquitens-class light cruisers and Jaeger-class battlecruisers in the Republic fleet. After killing these high-speed battleships Then he relied on the high speed of his warships to slowly cut through the formation of the Republic fleet.
Tarkin also discovered that when Severance Tann was commanding the fleet to fight, she didn't mind rushing the battleship directly up to engage in close combat. Although this will cause greater losses of personnel and warships, it does give her high-speed warships the opportunity to exert their maneuverability and flexibility, and it can also effectively attack the small warships of the Republic.
Although he knew it in his heart, Severance Tann's fighter planes were very accurate, and they could find opportunities to attack his fleet every time. And even during the battle, every command she gave was full of meaning and interlocking, and people would often fall into her little traps inadvertently.
For example, some warships pursue the enemy fiercely during the battle, and then find themselves besieged by other warships; for example, some warships continue to avoid local attacks, and then find themselves facing the most deadly Cole -class battlecruiser's super-matter electromagnetic gun, but it was inevitable...
During the 10-day offensive and defensive battle for the planet Tarastra, Wilhuff Tarkin always He was the one who was passively beaten, and he discovered to his despair that after Severance Tann destroyed the high-speed battleships in his fleet, the real target was actually on those five satellites.
In Tarkin's view, Severance Tann's behavior was more like killing all his high-speed battleships with a slap, and then saying don't bother me... He regarded the other party as his own life The only major enemy he had ever seen, and the other party just found him annoying. This feeling almost made Wilhuff Tarkin vomit three liters of blood.
However, this also allowed Tarkin to truly see the gap between himself and his opponent...
No one can defeat Severance Tann in a fleet battle!
Really?
"Come on then! Tann! I'm right here! Planet Eriadu! Can you break through this line of defense of mine?" Wilhuff Tarkin looked at the void of the universe, He said to himself coldly.
In the distance, a burst of white light flashed, and then, two Jaeger-class battlecruisers escorted several transport ships to arrive here. The transport ships immediately went to the Eriadu satellite and began to unload the cargo, which was full of all kinds of goods. Supplies and weaponry.
Reinforcements have arrived again.
......
"Stop shooting." On the other side of the galaxy, Severance Tann gave the order, causing the Cole-class battlecruiser to stop attacking Eriadu A pointless attack on the planet.
"Yes." The T-series tactical robot beside him immediately conveyed the order to other battleships.
She returned to her main seat, crossed her hands to support her chin, and looked at the star chart in deep thought without saying a word.
"The supply line to the planet Eriadu must be cut off, otherwise there will be no possibility of capturing this place." Ling Liang broke the silence and said from the side.
"You are right, it is as reasonable as saying that people will die if they don't breathe." Severance Tann mocked.
"I have a plan, maybe I can try it." Ling Liang said lightly.
