1304. Lundili’s Ending (Part 2)
“Stabilize the formation! Stabilize! The fourth and fifth formations turn immediately! "Lieutenant General Skared shouted angrily into the communication.
But the response from the communicator was obscured by louder interference noises, and it was not clear whether his instructions were conveyed.
The artillery fire of the Destruction is still continuing, but for the Knight-class Star Destroyer, the huge body of 1,600 meters and the powerful protective capabilities gained by giving up the miscellaneous functions, even in a short time Without a deflector shield, there is no need to worry about fatal damage from the Destruction's intensive but limited-power bombardment for the time being.
"The deflector shield has completed its cycle and is starting up!" the soldiers in the shield team reported loudly.
"The engine has been overhauled and the energy core has been restarted!"
"The 1st, 3rd and 4th columns of the main battery have been restarted!"
"The fire control radar has been restored Work! Please direct the target!"
The systems on the battleship quickly began to recover. Obviously, the Destruction's ion pulse cannon, which was not fully charged, could only have a certain impact on the Knight class for a short time.
But in just a few minutes, the situation on the entire battlefield has undergone earth-shaking changes!
If Lieutenant General Trinald Scared could carefully study Severance Tann's previous battles, then he would understand that Severance Tann often did The thing is to paralyze or restrict the opponent's command system before she launches a counterattack.
Then he will understand that this attack on the Knight-class Star Destroyer he is on is just the beginning of a series of actions by Severance Tann!
When Lieutenant General Scared's flagship finally restored communications, he suddenly discovered that almost one-third of the warships at the rear of his fleet had suffered heavy damage and were desperately resisting. But two-thirds of the battleships in front were already in a mess. Some wanted to turn, and some wanted to attack, causing the formation to spread further and further. Instead, they fell into the small and medium-sized battleships of Rendili's defense fleet, which were mainly Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers. Under siege!
At this time, he saw that the warships of Rendili Defense Fleet seemed to be alive!
Almost every warship is performing independent tactical maneuvers, but when viewed in the context of the entire battle, each of these tactical maneuvers has its own role, and each warship in the Republic fleet has been targeted in a targeted manner. blow.
Compared with the rigid and dull performance of the past few days, he is completely different!
Now the Republic fleet is divided into two, and the formation is completely disrupted. All warships are almost fighting independently. The most fatal thing for them is that in fact, such melee is not what the Republic's current main battleship, the Hunter-class, is good at!
The fleet currently in Scared's hands is because the fighter group was devastated by Darth Malthael before, and there is not much left. The remaining fighters can only serve as a cover. In such a melee situation, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser's lack of explosion-proof compartments and its single-layer armor structure became its biggest weakness!
In fact, there is no need to compare the Knight level, just compare the Chasseur level and the Empire level. The Jaeger-class is 1,137 meters long, and its shield, speed, and artillery fire are not weak, and it can carry a maximum of 420 aircraft. The Imperial-class is 1,600 meters long, but its maximum aircraft capacity is only 72. But you have to know that the Imperial-class is at least More than three times that of the Jaeger class.
This will give you an idea of the price to pay for the Jaeger-class's sky-high aircraft capacity - basically every inch of the battleship's space is used. If you look at the cross-section, there are no armored isolation zones or armored zones inside the battleship. Explosion-proof compartment!
This means that no matter how thick the single layer of armor of the Jaeger-class is, no matter how advanced armor materials are used, it is still essentially a shield resistance ship.
In this kind of face-to-face bombardment, the Jaeger-class faced Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers with twice the number of them, and was no match at all. Because the Dreadnought-class is a pure gunboat! This is the situation that Scared's fleet is facing now - his fleet was disrupted by Severance Tann in a direct attack, and then put up a desperate resistance in an extremely disadvantageous state!
At this moment, the formation of Rendili’s defense fleet changed again!
Those Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that were fighting with the front two-thirds of the Republic fleet's battleships suddenly rushed towards the rear one-third of the battleships where Scared was!
In the melee just now, these Dreadnoughts had already completed the turn without even realizing it!
More dense artillery fire exploded all around than before, and the Republic fleet has fallen into chaos. There is no response at all to the Rendili defense fleet, which is constantly making flexible tactical maneuvers!
The front two-thirds of the warships in the Republic fleet once again began to turn towards the assault, and the formation became chaotic again!
Lieutenant General Scared looked at the holographic combat star map, his face pale.
Now he knows that the only way to preserve his strength as much as possible is to let all the battleships escape individually, and then run to the edge of the galaxy to regroup!
Severance Tann finally revealed her fangs belonging to the ‘famous general’! She proved the difference between famous generals and ordinary generals in less than an hour and a single assault.
In the past few days, the real reason why the Rendili defense fleet behaved rigidly and dullly was that Severance Tann had not yet completed the adjustment and unification of the internal command systems of these battleships! In those days, in order not to waste the powerful combat power of the Destruction, she used the simplest tactic, letting the Destruction fight in front while the other warships fired black guns from behind.
To put it bluntly, he was just teasing Lieutenant General Scared.
During those few days, she once again shot many corrupt and incompetent mid-level officers of Rendili, and then added a group of young, energetic and energetic recruits. These recruits, combined with a robot team headed by T-series tactical robots, formed a battleship command team that, although not very efficient, was absolutely obedient.
Only then did Lieutenant General Scared understand that Severance Tann had never used the Destruction's powerful directional particle pulse cannon as a main battle weapon. Her real purpose of using this weapon was just to disrupt The deployment of her own fleet, dividing her fleet's formation, only creates conditions for other warships under her to launch attacks.
But now that I know this, it’s too late!
Vice Admiral Scared shouted loudly in the command channel, trying his best to adjust the formation of his battleships, hoping to reorganize his fleet and no longer fight independently. But his adjustments could never keep up with Severance Tann's rhythm. Often when he just made adjustments, he would find that Severance Tann had already set a trap for him!
On a complex battlefield, such a trap is actually not big. Maybe one of your warships suddenly encountered the opponent's main gun salvo while turning, or maybe the main gun's best range of fire was blocked by your own warship a few seconds before firing... Although it is small, there are countless The combination of such small traps...
It has become a completely irreversible defeat for the Republic Fleet!
However, just when Lieutenant General Scared almost fell into despair, another cutting-edge fleet finally entered the battlefield-the other half of the Rendili Defense Fleet battleships led by Lieutenant General Jane Dodenner that were captured by the Republic. !
