1118. Air Battle of Eriadu (6)
“So, what are your opinions? Master Dover, Master Gayet ." Admiral Theost asked the two Jedi Masters.
“Strategically speaking, if the Eriadu system cannot be brought back under the jurisdiction of the Republic and this system controls the Rhima trade route and the transportation hub of the Hydia channel, then we will lose it. The entire Western Territory," Master Gayet said.
“But I have a very bad premonition about this battle.” Dover, a female Pantoran Jedi Master, shook her head and said.
"I also have a very strong bad premonition, but we still have to take the initiative to attack." Master Gayet said, "During the meeting before leaving, Mr. Little Quarter, the representative of Quarter Power Shipyard, said that he would rather abandon these two ships Commander Level II also wants to test the limits of the Xuanwu."
"Although I don't want to admit this, it does make sense." Master Dover sighed, "If we attack the Xuanwu. If its performance remains unknown, we will pay even more heavy losses."
Admiral Theost nodded and said to the staff officer: "We will sort out the strategy with the highest probability of victory. Use high-speed battleships to involve the opponent's formation, and then fight in a relatively wide range! Don't give the Xuanwu a chance to protect the entire fleet!"
"Move the flagship to your original battleship." Master Foer said, "These two dreadnoughts may never have the chance to return to Coruscant..."
...
21BBY, early morning of September 13th.
After several hours of sub-light speed sailing, the Galactic Republic fleet arrived in the outer orbit of the planet Eriadu and faced off with the Fourth Civilization Fleet.
Then the Republic fleet attacks first!
Their fleet was divided into four groups, charging straight at them from four directions in a claw-shaped formation, with two single Commander II-class dreadnoughts in the center!
All the Jaeger-class battlecruiser hangar platforms were deployed, and the first batch of more than 8,000 fighter jets took off in darkness!
When the distance between the two sides was less than 1 light minute, the main guns mounted on the dome structure of the two Commander II-class dreadnoughts opened fire brazenly! The extremely powerful super-heavy turbolaser cannon fired a turbolaser beam containing powerful energy, directly hitting a Cole-class battlecruiser of the Fourth Civilization!
This Cole-class battlecruiser, which was in perfect condition, had no time to turn and was hit directly!
The powerful turbo laser beam instantly blew the Cole-class ship into pieces! None of the 2,500 crew members on the battleship survived!
At this time, the Xuanwu's fleet shield system had just been activated, and a light green light curtain enveloped every battleship of the Fourth Civilization Fleet.
Due to insufficient intelligence, General Ling misjudged the combat distance and charging time of the Republic fleet, causing the Xuanwu to be destroyed by a Cole class before it activated the fleet shield system.
"Asshole! You've been tricked!" General Ling slapped the console hard.
By the way, the console rubber gasket just launched by Higra Aerospace Group is a hot seller because it is often used as a target of anger.
"General, the power and range of the opponent's main gun are far greater than that of the Xuanwu." A technician said.
The Commander II-class dreadnought sank a Cole-class ship with two cannons, which greatly encouraged the Republic fleet. Immediately afterwards, other warships also opened fire, and countless turbo lasers and blaster beams were fired. The fleets of both sides are in full battle again!
The powerful firepower of the Republic fleet is still the same as last time, unable to shake the Fourth Civilization Fleet protected by the Xuanwu fleet shield.
With the protection of this green light curtain, the Cole-class battlecruiser can even continue to withstand the concentrated attacks of multiple Jaeger-class ships from the Republic and calmly turn back, retreating to the rear before its own shield is damaged. Cycle shield.
In addition, the 9 Dunov-class battlecruisers are constantly replenishing the shield capacitance of those battleships under concentrated attack, giving them more opportunities to retreat.
The Galactic Republic fleet began to maneuver. After the battle broke out, they dispersed in four directions after a brief contact, and continued to move forward, trying to get past the tight formation of the Fourth Civilization Fleet and rush towards Eria. Du planet direction.
They tried to use this method to divert some of the Fourth Civilization warships to rescue the planet Eriadu, thus leaving the protection of the Xuanwu.
The first batch of 8,000 fighter jets taken off by the Republic also guarded its own warships at all times and did not rush to attack rashly.
Because under the protection of the fleet shield, not even warships can break through the opponent's defense, let alone fighter jets.
The only good thing is that the fourth civilization's fighter jets cannot be equipped with receiving devices, so the team building shield cannot take effect on the fighter jets. Otherwise, this will make people even more desperate!
But even so, the Xuanwu's fleet shield system is basically equivalent to destroying at least half of the deterrence of the fighter cluster that the Republic is proud of!
But the Fourth Civilization Fleet remained unmoved and maintained a dense formation, fighting under the protection of the fleet shield, without giving the Republic Fleet a chance at all.
The two Commander II-class dreadnoughts of the Republic fleet are also at full firepower. Their engine output is 200 times more powerful than that of the Jaeger-class, and the power of their main guns is naturally terrifying.
Even if the Chasseur class is in front of the Commander II class, it will be the result of two shots in seconds!
Unlike the Commander-class dreadnought, which was born in the peaceful era and was restricted by the treaty of Rusan's reform, and was cautious in every aspect, the Commander-II class was built from the beginning as a destructive war weapon. A terrifying weapon!
The huge 8,000-meter-long hull also gave engineers at Quat Power Dockyard space to install even larger engines. But as if this was not enough, they also enlarged the middle and rear sections of the warship to become A dome with a diameter of 1,200 meters is built, which makes the battleship look as ugly as a hunchback, but it can generate more powerful energy!
Under the continuous bombardment of the Commander II, even with the protection of the Xuanwu fleet shield, another Cole-class battlecruiser was still destroyed!
To make matters worse, there was also a Dunov-class battlecruiser hit by a Commander II-class shot. Its shield was broken and its structure was damaged, and it was fleeing in a hurry.
At the same time, the firepower of other battleships of the Fourth Civilization also poured in, but it was unable to effectively cause damage to them.
The two Commander II-class dreadnoughts actually rushed into the Fourth Civilization Fleet like this, making them invincible!
The other Republic warships cooperated with a large number of fighter jets to surround the densely formed Fourth Civilization Fleet in a dispersed formation. Moreover, they were very flexible in their movements. As long as they encountered counterattacks from the opponent, they would immediately retreat and attract the opponent to pursue them.
Admiral Theost's meaning is obvious, aren't you a turtle shell? Then consume it slowly! Let's see when you come out of it!
Thanks to qewr for the 100 starting coins! !
