Chapter 1229: Storm in the North (Twelve)
1229, Storm in the North (Twelve)
Admiral Longo’s flagship was hit by two turbolaser cannons!
One round of artillery fire fell behind the side of the battleship, near the B turret, and the other fell under the bridge. Fortunately, they were all well-protected by armor. Apart from a shock and the armor falling off, there was nothing more. of damage.
As the second wave of salvo fire from the Separatist fleet arrived, the Galactic Republic fleet, which had not raised its shields at all, began to suffer losses.
The turbolaser cannon hit the armor of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, causing bursts of violent explosions and flames.
Although most of them failed to penetrate the armor, the fire and smoke generated by the explosion had already begun to create a tragic atmosphere for this Republic fleet that had just begun the war and was in trouble.
The Republic warships also began to fire back, and a large number of fighter jets also took off.
The fleets of both sides continued to approach, and invariably activated the laser cannon at a distance of about 10 light seconds!
The thick laser beams continued to sweep across the battleships on both sides, creating ripples of energy shields and seas of fire that burned the armor.
At the same time, the fighters from both sides were also strangled together!
Because it is a home battle, the fighter jets taking off from the separatist side can be said to be a large group of Wuyang Wuyang. The first wave of attack groups alone has more than 6,000 fighter jets! Most of them are Vulture robot fighters, and there are also a few triple robot fighters and Coyote robot bombers.
These fighter jets take off directly from the space station near the planet and do not need to occupy the transportation capacity of the battleship.
Correspondingly, although the Republic Fleet has 60 Jaeger-class battlecruisers with a theoretical carrying capacity of 24,000 aircraft, as always, due to the losses in daily operations and the problem of pilot replacement, there are no Fully loaded.
They also have less than 10,000 fighter jets, and some of them are even Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets that are already far behind.
But don’t forget there’s also the geth fleet!
Although the Geth fleet did not take off fighter jets immediately, it can be known from past combat experience that the extremely flexible light frigates of the Geth are not afraid of the Galactic Republic's fighter clusters at all.
The fighter groups of both sides started a fierce battle in an area of tens of thousands of kilometers. At the same time, the gunfire of the warships of both sides also intertwined for the third and fourth time!
A violent explosion set off again, and the Republic fleet that did not raise its shield once again suffered heavy losses.
This time, two Jaeger-class battlecruisers were hit by the opponent's powerful plasma beam. Along with a terrible explosion and fire, the two battleships were directly blasted by the powerful plasma beam. A huge gap appeared, and it was paralyzed almost instantly.
Yamato cannon!
The defense fleet of the Separatist fleet on the planet Mequito is a joint fleet of the Fourth Group and the Interstellar Banking Association. Among the main ships of this fleet, in addition to some Generosity-class communication frigates and Disobedience-class light ships In addition to destroyers, they also include 5 Shenyi-class destroyers and 12 Behemoth-class battlecruisers!
Especially the 12 Behemoth-class ships, which are as much of a threat as natural enemies to the Jaeger-class battlecruisers that have not raised their shields!
"General! We can't hold on like this for too long!" On the bridge of the flagship of the Republic fleet, the adjutant said loudly to their commander-in-chief, Admiral Longo.
"How long until the hyperspace engine can be started!" Admiral Longo asked sternly.
"I don't know... the energy index keeps beating. This time ranges from 10 minutes to 5 hours..." The hyperspace engine operator nervously looked at the changing numbers on the screen, sweating profusely.
“Why is there such a big error!” Longo yelled.
"Maybe it's electronic interference...maybe..."
"If it's electronic interference, then it only interferes with the display of the system! It cannot interfere with the hyperspace engine!" Longo obviously It’s not like I don’t understand anything.
"If this is the case...then there is hyperspace turbulence..."
"How can there be hyperspace turbulence here!" "Maybe it's a hyperspace suppressor!" said the intelligence officer on the side. "In the Battle of Bespin and the Battle of Eriadu, the separatists used this kind of turbulence. A device that interferes with hyperspace jumps needs to be set up in advance and is very fragile and can be easily destroyed."
"But in a situation like this... we don't have one at all. Ability to find the hyperspace suppressor!" Admiral Longo looked solemn, "And their small spacecraft that launches electronic interference, haven't they been done yet?"
"Those spacecraft are very flexible, and Although they are not armed, they have extremely strong electronic interference capabilities. Some of our lone fighter formations will even be directly paralyzed by them! So far, we have only shot down 5 ships..." the adjutant said while wiping a cold sweat. .
Admiral Longo looked at the image projected on the screen, which was an optical image of some of these electronic warfare craft captured by their fighter formation.
I only saw that this spacecraft is about 93 meters long, roughly shaped into a U-shaped catamaran, and has a large number of extremely powerful electronic antennas installed on both sides of the hull. These ships are very fast and have high deflector shield readings, which is a performance gained by completely forgoing weapons systems.
“Is this the thing?” Longo looked solemn.
"We have intercepted the code name of this warship from enemy communications - Sentinel class. Sentinel class heavy electronic warfare frigate." The adjutant said, "It is these Sentinel class that form an electronic jamming network. It almost completely cut off our communications, and also hindered the energy system of our warships... It also interfered with the firing of our warships' main guns!"
Longo clenched his fists, "There are already many separatists. Battleships have begun to use this electronic warfare technology, from the Doomsday Battlecruiser that first appeared, to the Xuanwu Titan battleship that appeared in the Battle of Eriadu...Is there another Sentinel class now?"
"The separatists obviously do not want to compete head-on with us in terms of the performance and quantity of battleships. They seem to have always wanted to fight an asymmetric battle with us." said the adjutant.
"But they did it!" Longo gritted his teeth.
"What to do, General! If we continue, we may not be able to start the hyperspace engine!" the adjutant said, "Electronic interference has greatly weakened the combat performance of our warships. If we can no longer If we turn on the deflector shield, we will probably be wiped out within half an hour!"
Longo thought for a while and said: "Instruct all ships to raise the deflector shield on the spot! Resist! Then our ship begins to retreat, stay away from the battlefield, keep the shield down, and try to start the hyperspace engine and leave here as soon as possible! "
...< br>
At the same time, in the command center of the outer orbital space station on the planet Mequito.
"The outcome of this battle has already been known before it even begins... Why waste my time?" Among the holographic projections on the screen, the figure of Tang Xiao, the governor of Dawn Planet, was projected.
"We killed a Jedi Master, he was very powerful." In front of the screen, a geth individual said, "After comparing the database, we found out his name - Sars-Tin."
< br>Tang Xiao laughed dumbly, "Huh? Sas-Tin is dead? Hahahaha! Those people in the Republic are really cooperative! If they hadn't been so smart, our plan wouldn't have been so easy to unfold!"
Thon-Hill said: "Our plan went very smoothly indeed. The Galactic Republic rushed over almost unprepared. I thought they were somewhat concerned about the relationship between us and the geth. There is some doubt about the relationship.”
Tang Xiao sneered and said: "It seems that Sas-Tin, the so-called member of the Supreme Council, is just a trash with no reputation. He gave his life to the planet Kali, but he has nothing of value. Didn't get it. Well... he assassinated General Dilar. Did he think that the death of Dilar would have an impact on the war situation? "
