Chapter 1284, The Battle of Lundili (10)
1284, The Battle of Lundili (10)
Scarrid did not keep Lundili waiting for too long. After conquering the galaxy, he handed over the task of reorganizing the planetary defense fleet to his classmate Lieutenant General Jan Dodenner, and immediately launched an attack!
According to his observation and understanding, the half of the planetary defense fleet warships currently led by Master Yoda and Jing Fang can be said to be in very bad condition.
The equipment inside these battleships is not full of personnel at all, and they are all in a mess. Some battleships are filled with engineering department soldiers, while on other battleships, when you walk into the power compartment, you can only see a few recruits wearing communications armbands studying thick operating manuals.
Moreover, after experiencing the previous riots, these soldiers were demoralized and exhausted, and had almost lost the will to continue fighting, and must receive psychological counseling.
And the supplies and maintenance of these battleships were incomplete, because when the riots began, many combat readiness supplies had not yet been transported.
Based on the status of these soldiers, Lieutenant General Scared judged that the situation of the other half of the warships on the Rendili rebel side was not much better. But time cannot be delayed. Lieutenant General Jan Dodenner said that he needs three days to complete the preparation work. Then the rebels backed by the planet Rendili may only need half the time to reorganize and complete their fleet.
So although the task force in his hands only had 20 warships, Lieutenant General Scared still resolutely launched the assault!
The battleships of the task force he led were all newly produced warships. Both the equipment and personnel on the battleships were in the best condition. And there are three Knight-class Star Destroyers stationed there. He believes that those old and dying Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers are no match at all!
It has to be said that Lieutenant General Skared, as a new generation of academic general of the Galactic Republic, is very talented. The first wave of attacks he launched caused Jesse Darling, the commander of the Rendili rebel fleet, to panic.
......
"Left wing! Left wing!! Don't run away from the Dunbulo! Hold it! Hold it!!!" Captain Jesse Darling's roar came from the communication channel. Voice.
Darth Malthael frowned.
Even if he didn’t understand fleet battle command at all, he could still hear the problem - the instructions issued by Captain Jesse Darling were full of words such as 'Hold it', 'Get on me', ' "Full Fire" is such a meaningless term.
As for how their fleet should act, how to use its strengths and avoid weaknesses to give full play to the advantages of its own warships, how to adjust its formation according to the opponent's arrangement, how to use fighter formations, the timing of missile salvos, etc., Jesse Dahl I'm not having any of it.
Yes, this Jesse Darling is a clone that was replaced, but what about clones? Is it a fool or a fool? If you clone another one, it will be a fool x 2.
Complementing him were the captains of the other battleships. As soon as these captains saw the Republic Task Force pounced ferociously, they immediately panicked. If you are brave enough, yell and fight me, and then just look at the holographic star map with a blank look on your face. How do you fight me? Where? That's completely unknown.
If you are timid, you can simply command the battleship to turn around and run away!
Run? Excuseme? Planet Rendili is right behind you. Where can you run? Run back and hit the planetary shield?
Facing the chaotic resistance of the Lundili planet fleet, the Republic task force successfully disrupted their formation in almost the first assault. Now, as the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, I am afraid that when the Republic Task Force rushes over to complete the breakthrough and the two sides enter a melee, Rendili's fleet will completely collapse immediately.
In other words, they can't wait until that time. Boom! ! Darth Malthael's battleship was hit hard by a turbo laser. Although the deflector shield successfully neutralized and dissipated the firepower of the shot, the powerful energy impact still shook the battleship.
"Scan the source of the gunfire!" Even if he didn't understand space warfare, Darth Malthael knew that the power of this gun was extraordinary, and it was definitely not fired by an ordinary warship.
"RogerRoger!" A B-1 robot began to operate on the computer, and soon a wedge-shaped battleship image was projected on the screen.
"Imperial-class Star Destroyer?! How is this possible!" Darth Malthael was shocked. Due to insufficient information, he directly regarded the Knight-class as the Imperial-class, although the two were quite different. "The Imperial-class is at least It entered service one to two years ahead of schedule! If it is really the Empire class..."
The gap in the quality of the battleships, the gap in commanders, and... Darth Malthael looked at the holographic star. In the picture, the transport ship is like birds and beasts running around because of the attack, but there is still a gap in its readiness for war!
Those transport ships were transporting additional troops and supplies to the Planet Defense Fleet, but before the replenishment was completed, the Republic Fleet arrived and immediately launched an attack!
He somewhat underestimated Palpatine's determination. After all, when the Republic dealt with the Rendili incident in the original plot, it did not mobilize a fleet. But this time, Sheev Palpatine obviously made up his mind. He would rather delay the Republic's counterattack, but first resolve what happened between the Interstellar Banking Association and Rendili Interstellar Power Corporation.
Of course, it doesn’t matter whether he underestimates or not, it’s impossible for him to bring a fleet commander to Lundili. In fact, that’s it. After all, these are the cards in the hands of Lundili Interstellar Power Company and the Ulan Family. They are a thick stack, all numbers, not a single head.
But now, the early arrival of the Galactic Republic's task force has made the situation on Rendili planet even worse.
It will take at least one and a half to two days for Severance Tann's fleet to arrive here. After all, she needs to find loopholes in the Republic's defense system in the complicated hyperspace channels, and then lead the fleet through the Republic's defense zone to the planet Rendili.
But if we look at the current battle situation, the fleet on the Rendili Rebel Army may not be able to sustain it for even one day!
Darth Malthael looked at a Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser on the holographic star map that was turning around and trying to run away. As a result, an 'Imperial-class Star Destroyer' shot hit the engine behind it. A large amount of flames and smoke came out of the engine position, and the battleship tilted over and stopped moving.
Less than 10 minutes after the war started, Rendili's battleship suffered battle damage!
Two hours at most... Darth Malthael re-estimated the time it would take for the fleet to collapse.
He opened the communication of the whole fleet and said coldly: "All warships listen to the order and organize resistance with the space defense platform as the core! It is strictly forbidden to take a step back! For those who avoid fighting, the first time, the adjutant will be executed. The second time This time, the captain will be executed directly! The above instructions will be executed by the death squads of each ship! "
The 'suicide squads' he refers to are actually those who were brainwashed by them using the rebirth medical cabin. These people absolutely obey orders, so this time we let these people play the role of military police.
In any case, Rendili's defense fleet has 5 to 60 capital ships and a larger number of small and medium-sized warships. Not to mention the exquisite battlefield command, anyway, as long as these warships can maintain their firepower, If it is fully opened, it will be more or less effective, at least to keep the lower limit.
Then, you will have more time to think about countermeasures!
