Chapter 1137. Tragic Attack and Defense
1136. Tragic Attack and Defense
The Galactic Republic is caught in the flames of war...
Separatist warships are rampant in the outer orbit of Coruscant... …
The huge galactic parliament is empty...
The Jedi Temple fell apart in the fire...
Death, anger, sadness, despair... countless negative emotions rushed towards us...
Yes, the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order ...will be destroyed!
A new order will come!
And I...
"General Krell, our vanguard has arrived at the airport and is exchanging fire with the defenders!" came the clone commander's voice.
At this moment, it seemed that all the noise around me came back.
Gunshots, explosions, shouts, screams...
Pang Krel suddenly opened his eyes, and the powerful force was flowing around him, even in his eyes There was also a flash of light visible to the naked eye!
He did not speak. He raised his four arms and deployed two double-headed lightsabers instantly. He jumped directly from the armored vehicle and spun rapidly in mid-air. All the firepower fired at him was reflected back. !
The moment he landed, the two double-headed lightsabers swung rapidly like windmills, rotating flexibly and alternately in his four arms, destroying all obstacles in their path as if they were overwhelming!
His steps were fast, passing through the battlefield like a gust of wind, and finally he stopped in front of a UMHC self-propelled artillery - two lightsabers penetrated deeply into the cockpit of the self-propelled artillery, destroying the contents inside. The driver was directly burned to coke!
It was only then that the dozen Umbala soldiers he had just passed by suddenly fell to the ground, and their bodies broke into two pieces.
"Launch an attack! Capture this airport at all costs!!" Pang Krel said loudly with a gloomy face.
"Yes!" The clone commander responded immediately.
The clone soldiers shouted and rushed towards the defensive position set up by the Umbala people at the airport. Almost at the same time, countless plasma cannons, missiles, and rockets roared towards them!
Boom! boom! boom! ! !
Dense explosions continued to set off, and the powerful power blew up the clone soldiers more than ten meters high!
The Umbala people have already deployed heavy troops to guard the airport, and have built a very strong defense line around the airport.
Machine guns, heavy artillery, rockets, plasma cannons... countless weapons were fired continuously, blocking almost every angle!
The clone army only has a small number of AT-TE all-terrain tactical walkers, but as an alternative, they are equipped with a large number of AT-RT bipedal walkers.
However, the AT-RT is, after all, just a machine gun-level firepower platform for individual soldiers and equipment that provides better mobility. The driver is directly exposed. Therefore, compared to an ordinary soldier, the AT-RT has better mobility and stronger firepower. It is common for the driver to be shot in the head by the opponent's gun.
Because this thing itself is used for investigation...
But now, under the strict order of Pang Krel, they all went to the frontal battlefield!
The Umbala people naturally did not show any mercy, and their armored units began to appear on the battlefield.
More than a dozen Umbala Ghost Tanks with powerful firepower launched a countercharge directly towards the clone position!
The Umbala Ghost Tank is a kind of suspended tank. In the center of the tank is the spherical cockpit commonly used by the Umbala people. It is covered with thick armor. Inside is a panoramic projection control system. On both sides are heavy-duty blade-shaped cockpits. Plasma emitter. This kind of tank is more like a self-propelled artillery than a tank, and their frontal firepower is almost devastating!
A series of extremely powerful plasma ripples are launched, and every explosion set off can almost wipe out targets within a radius of tens of meters!
The clone troops suffered heavy losses and had to retreat temporarily.
But Pon-Krell didn't give them this chance at all. He directly replaced a clone commander who ordered the retreat, let the former commander go to the front line with a gun, and forced the clone army to continue Attack!
After discussion, several other clone commanders ordered the rear artillery positions to continue covering artillery fire. After more than an hour of bombing, they launched another attack.
But this time, they did not rush directly to the front of the Umbala position with strong firepower, but let the AT-RT troops take a detour from the side.
This time their strategy finally worked. Under the bombardment of the Republic Army AV-7 self-propelled artillery, the Umbala armored forces began to move, but at this time they were suddenly attacked by AT-RT Troop raid!
The AT-RT walker pilot directly controlled the walker over a hill with complex terrain, and attacked the flank of their armored forces completely unexpectedly by the Umbala people.
The clone commanders' battlefield reactions were very keen. They immediately discovered that although the frontal firepower of ghost tanks like Umbala was very powerful, the plasma ripples they fired had a large shooting dead zone at close range, and the shooting direction Fixed at the front and very inflexible.
So this flank raid directly dealt a fatal blow to the Umbala armored forces!
The clone driver drove the AT-RT walker and jumped directly from the ridge, launching a fierce attack on the Umbala ghost tanks that had inflexible steering. The Maad-38 heavy laser cannon equipped on the AT-RT targeted The ghost tanks fired wildly from the sides, and the clone troopers also picked up rocket launchers to fire rockets at these tanks.
The Umbala people, who had several tanks destroyed, quickly retreated, and their frontal defense line also retreated.
The clone soldiers took the opportunity to launch an assault and occupied the Umbala people's first line of defense outside the airport.
...
At the same time, the 212th Attack Battalion of the Clone Forces was fighting bravely behind the airport.
The Umbala people were preparing to transport supplies from this direction to reinforce the defense line in the direction of the airport. After being hindered, they launched a frantic attack on the 212th Attack Battalion blocking the front.
The clone soldiers of the 212th Attack Battalion originally fought a fierce battle before landing, and now they experienced such a fierce battle with almost no time to rest, and the casualties continued to increase.
Commander CC-2224 Cody went to the front line personally, and at the same time flexibly commanded his subordinate troops to use the terrain as much as possible to block the advancement of the Umbala troops.
Because the difference in strength between the two sides has exceeded 10 times, not to mention that the Umbala people are very comfortable in such a dark environment. Compared with the clone soldiers, the gap is even bigger.
Cody had to order his troops to retreat continuously, trading space for time, which made the Umbala army's progress very slow, but it still allowed them to advance 7 or 8 kilometers.
However, at this time, a clone trooper ran over and said loudly: "Sir! There is a signal on my sensor!! Something ran through our underground!!"
