Chapter 1135: The Battle of Umbala Planet (Part 2)
1134. The Battle for Umbala Planet (Part 2)
“As for this battle, it is very difficult...” Pang-Ke Rael said in a deep voice, "I have just communicated with the navigator. We cannot confirm the situation of the landing site. In other words, our Cheer-class assault landing ship can only land in complete darkness."< br>
"Even the terrain and enemy fire distribution are unknown?" Anakin asked.
“The basic terrain can still be scanned, but that’s all. If I were the commander of the Umbala people, then when our fleet appears in orbit outside the planet, it will already be in orbit. Every possible landing site is prepared," Pon-Krell said.
Anakin Skywalker frowned, "Moreover, our fighter jets are completely unqualified to fight on this planet. It is also impossible for our commonly used LAAT transport boats to conduct surprise landings. We can only land the Cheer class directly on the planet." On the ground. This is equivalent to reducing our mobility to the lowest level."
"That's right! Sitting on the assault landing ship is the last maneuver of our troops." "The next step is a frontal attack."
"If this is the case, our only way is to land directly near the capital of Umbala, but there is no doubt that we will encounter very strong resistance. I even There is no guarantee that the ship will land safely," Anakin Skywalker said.
"Send out an advance team. Force a landing and conduct fire reconnaissance." Pang Krel said straightforwardly.
"But this will cause very serious casualties, especially the advance team. I don't think any of them will even survive." Anakin Skywalker said with a frown.
Pon-Krel shook his head and asked, "Then let me ask you, young Skywalker. Is the purpose of us leading the army to the planet Umbala to destroy our army?"
"No! The recovery of Umbara is crucial! General Grievous is very cunning. On the same day Umbara surrendered to the Separatists, he immediately sent troops to invade Kashyyyk! The Wookiees cannot After resisting those ferocious robots for too long, we must win the victory on the planet Umbala and reinforce the planet Kashyyyk!" Anakin Skywalker said firmly.
“So, we cannot be afraid of sacrifice. You should know that the nature of clones is no different from these robots. The Republic uses clones to fight the war, just to let us use them ruthlessly! If at this time It is impossible to win the war by looking forward and backward," Pang Krell said, "Remember! Only victory can make these clones that can be mass-produced at the touch of a button valuable! It's expired..."
"Kamino Planet..." Anakin Skywalker's expression darkened.
"Yes, the separatists have obtained the genetic samples of these clones, and they will soon be able to develop corresponding genetic weapons. By then, these clone soldiers will probably not even have a piece of flesh on the battlefield. The value of the dolphins is not comparable. Use them now, and then...bring victory!" Pang Krel patted Anakin's shoulder again.
Anakin Skywalker bowed his head and fell silent.
“Okay, we are divided into two groups for this battle. You directly attack the capital of Umbala, and I will lead this army including the 212th Attack Battalion to cut off the supply line of the capital. You will cooperate with your 501st Army. It has been a long time, and I should be able to handle the tough task, but this is the first time for me to cooperate with my army. No one knows how they are." Pang Krel said.
Anakin said seriously: "I have had some contact with Cody, the commander of the 212th Attack Battalion. He is a very good commander, and the 212th Attack Battalion is also an excellent team."
"Then I will very much hope that they can bring me a new victory. Well, I will return to my spacecraft, and the landing operation will start simultaneously in one hour. May the force and With you, young Skywalker." Pon-Krel smiled disapprovingly, turned and left the bridge.
"May the Force be with you, Master Krell." Anakin Skywalker nodded and looked at the dark porthole again, his face solemn.
"I don't like him very much." Ahsoka Tano said from the side. "Because of the clones?" Anakin glanced at her.
"That's right. I think Captain Rex and the others are real people. Whether they can be produced by pressing a button or not, but...but you also know Yes, Rex, Echo, Number Five... they are all different, they all have their own thoughts and opinions! They are not tools!" Ahsoka Tano said seriously.
"We can't make everyone else think the same way as us, little devil." Anakin Skywalker said sternly, "Since the war began, Master Pon Krell has been He must win, he is the fighting hero of our Jedi Order. Maybe he has different views on clones than we do, but he also saved more people in his own way."
"Well, Now that you say that, you can't make me like him, right?" Ahsoka Tano spread her hands and made a face, "Tian Xingzi"
"Call me master properly!"
"Okay Tian Xingzi."
......
An hour later, the five Cheer-class assault landing ships started Lower the altitude and forcefully enter the atmosphere of the Umbala planet!
The friction between the huge spaceship and the atmosphere caused a violent combustion. Five huge flames appeared in the dark sky on the planet Umbala, lighting up the night sky like five red suns!
In the next second, dense air defense firepower was launched into the sky!
Missiles, lasers, blaster beams, and the most technologically advanced plasma cannon of the Umbala people! Countless beams of light fell on the spacecraft, and the deflector shield flashed violently, spreading the powerful anti-aircraft firepower throughout the shield field to withstand, deflect and neutralize it.
Dozens of fighter jets that looked like bow ties appeared in the sky. They were Zenuas 33 Umbaran starfighters made by the Umbarans. The cockpit of this fighter is a fully enclosed spherical cabin. The driver inside controls it through a touch-sensitive holographic interface. Basically, only Umbala people with very keen senses can control it. The performance is very excellent.
The Galactic Republic cannot take off fighter jets to fight at all. In the darkness of the Umbala planet, even communications will be affected, and their fighter jets are completely useless!
Boom! boom! boom! The Zenuas-33 starfighter continuously fires ion cannons to attack the Cheer-class assault landing ship from above. Compared with the thickly armored bottom, the top armor of the Cheer-class is not so strong, and the operators have to protect it. The shield energy is concentrated above for defense, preventing the Umbala fighters from destroying the battleship's superstructure and close-defense turrets.
boom! boom! boom! ! Several proton torpedoes hit the bottom armor of Anakin Skywalker's battleship, and the battleship shook violently.
"General Skywalker! Our ship's shield has been broken and needs to be recirculated! The bottom armor is under direct attack!" An officer came over and said loudly.
Anakin Skywalker gritted his teeth, then finally made up his mind, and said loudly: "Send an advance team and force a landing!!"
