Chapter 1313: The Battle of the Planet Semels (1)
Chapter 1311 I changed it yesterday. If you didn’t understand it before, you can check it out...
1313, The Battle of the Planet Semels (1)
The Kona galaxy, on a satellite of Planet 4.
A few kilometers away, the wreckage of the crashed shuttle was emitting thick smoke. Because of the low gravity environment here, the air is very thin, so the smoke did not rise, but spread like a flood in all directions. Going out creates a unique scene.
In the sky, several V-19 fighter jets were slowing down and circling around.
Gabriel Tosh was hiding behind a rock, his consciousness already a little blurry. From the very beginning, he was seriously injured by the dark side force hidden in Sejas's body. Later, he faced off against Wilf Munn, the werewolf Jedi master, and suffered more injuries.
In the end, he fell with the shuttle, which almost killed him.
But he must persevere!
Tosh took out a syringe and pierced it directly next to his wound. This is a first aid injection developed by Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group based on the combination of the T virus and the bacta fluid of this world. It accelerates the growth and healing of wounds, but the side effect is that it may cause excessive growth, such as the growth of something else.
After a while, the wound began to heal visibly to the naked eye, but the loss of physical strength was still irreparable, and the power of the dark side always made him dizzy, and he was still unable to use his psychic powers normally.
"The news...must be sent back." Tosh murmured to himself, "There is also, deeper, darkness..."
He observed the flight trajectories of those fighter jets and carefully adjusted them own position. He now had to make sure that the werewolf-like guy didn't come. If he did, he wouldn't have any chance.
As time goes by, the energy in the stealth combat suit is getting less and less. Once the temperature regulation system loses energy, even if he has psychic protection, he can only survive in this low temperature environment. to an hour.
Tosh could vaguely feel that the werewolf was also checking around the satellite, but he also knew that as a Jedi warrior accompanying the army, he could not stay here for too long.
However, Wilf Munn's patience seemed to be greater than he imagined, and Tosh also overestimated the time he could persist despite serious injuries.
Consciousness gradually faded away...
In the haze, he seemed to feel that he was wrapped in a warm energy, and then he knew nothing...
...
"All, the Hiigaran battlecruiser formation! Assault on the flank of the Republic! Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Defeat them, Aquitens-class light cruisers." Among the flagships of the Semels defense fleet , Admiral Trench continued to issue orders to command the fleet to resist the attack of the Republic fleet.
But he was extremely anxious at the moment. He kept slapping his palms with the pointer and walking up and down the bridge.
With his change of formation this time, the Hiigaran-class battlecruiser began to take advantage of its speed advantage over the Jaeger-class battlecruiser and launched a surprise attack on the Aquitens-class light cruiser formation on the flanks. Trying to use Tian Ji's horse racing method to eat part of the opponent's troops first, so as to make a good start for the subsequent battle.
But the commander of the main fleet of the Fourth Army of the Republic, Admiral Davis, is still in command, and he is also making various responses. He began to adjust his formation, but instead of letting the Aquitens-class light cruisers retreat to get cover, he let them continue to outflank them, getting further and further away from the battlefield.
His purpose is very clear. He wants to eat my light cruiser formation. Yes, but you must first accompany them around the battlefield. Even if the light cruiser formation will still be eaten in the end, it's hard to say what the frontal battle will be like at that time.
At the same time, he ordered the Jaeger-class battlecruiser formation to continue to press forward, and asked each Jaeger-class battleship to form a temporary combat team under the cover of those small and medium-sized battleships. The war is actually about spreading a huge net.
This is relying on his own strength advantage to defeat General Trench!
The group of naval officers that the Galactic Republic grew up on the battlefield are completely different from the fat-headed bureaucrats at the beginning of the war.
Even Lieutenant General Jane Dodenner and Lieutenant General Skarrid, who are currently being hung up and beaten by Severance Tann in the Rendili System, are actually put on other battlefields. , they are capable enough to win - it’s hard to say how powerful they are, but unless you can reach Tann’s level, you will have to break a few teeth to eat them.
Sure enough, as bright lights lit up on the battlefield, the super-matter electromagnetic gun in front of the Cole-class battlecruiser opened fire!
But this time, 20 Cole-class ships opened fire, but still had little effect. Only one Chasseur-class shield was broken, and it began to retreat urgently under the cover of other warships. At the same time, a large number of fighter formations also swarmed in and began to attack all separatist warships that might attack the Jaeger-class.
Don’t think that those in the Galactic Republic’s Tactical Research Institute, Naval Academy, and Supreme Strategic Command are all just for free. Even if they are still somewhat behind the pace of the Fourth Civilization in terms of technological advancement, for old opponents like the Cole-class , they also developed a complete set of plans to fight against it.
Now when the Galactic Republic confronts the Separatist fleet including Cole-class battlecruisers, Martha-class guided missile heavy cruisers, and Sova-class aircraft carriers, they often adopt a relatively flexible approach. formation tactics.
To sum up, in one sentence, the small formations make large detours and use fighter jets conservatively.
Although the transmatter electromagnetic gun of the Cole-class battlecruiser is powerful, it has two biggest shortcomings-slow charging and slow projectile flight speed. Of course, when it comes to slow flying speed, this is relative to energy weapons. However, on the scale of the cosmic battlefield, the super-matter electromagnetic gun of the Cole-class battlecruiser is indeed a bit inferior.
In this case, the Republic fleet dispersed its warships in small formations, forcing the Cole class to constantly adjust its position to aim, and then exposed its flanks to this side of other battleships.
At the same time, in order to make up for the dispersion problem of combat effectiveness caused by small formation operations, the Republic fleet commander will use fighter groups more cautiously. Let these fighters mainly play the role of tandem and cover. Under this tactical thinking, the Republic Navy began to carry more multi-functional fighters and interceptors, and fewer bombers.
This is a change from the previous tactic of commanding a group of fighter jets to swarm forward when the Republic fleet bullied the Confederate fleet of independent systems because it had few fighter jets, and when the combat capabilities of the Vulture robot fighter jets were generally inferior to the Republic's pilot + navigation robot combination. Equivalent to this, the Republic fleet formation will expand to a very large extent, but because of the existence of the huge fighter group, you cannot really defeat them individually. This also places higher demands on the Republic Fleet Commander.
Maybe this tactic doesn't seem so scary now, but you know that now lying on the industrial star ring in the Kuat Power Shipyard, countless engineering robots are working What is the battleship that is constantly being assembled?
Imperial-class Star Destroyer and Knight-class Star Destroyer!
Even now, with the superior strength and reasonable tactics of the Republic fleet, even Admiral Trench feels extremely pressured.
Now the Republic’s fleet has expanded to tens of thousands of kilometers! With such a dispersed formation, even their powerful Agonev-class interstellar base was a little concerned about one thing and the other.
"General, the Republic warships are flanking from the direction of U-8, and they are still expanding their formation." The T-series tactical robot standing next to Trench said.
"Take off, fighter formation. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Raid, Republic battleship in the direction of U-8." Although Admiral Trench couldn't see the expression on his spider face, but from his solemn expression It can also be heard from the tone that this kind of combat mode is not actually the rhythm he wants.
The four huge take-off platforms of the Sova-class aircraft carrier unfolded one after another, and the densely packed fighter jets took off like a swarm!
CF/A-17G, the latest model of Ghost fighter and the latest triple robot fighter of the Confederation of Independent Systems flew out in groups, accompanied by a larger number of Vulture robot fighters, swarming in that direction.
Approaching the battlefield, the ghost fighters turned on their cloaking devices one after another, and after approaching the opponent, they first fired a salvo of Gemini II anti-matter missiles!
Immediately afterwards, the Tri-Fighter and the Vulture Fighter were strangled with the V-19 Torrent Fighter of the Galactic Republic!
Now the stealth technology of the Ghost Fighters has been cracked by the Galactic Republic. Their fighters are all equipped with the latest radar that can detect the Ghost Fighters. Although the detection distance is not long and the detection signal is relatively weak, it has already been It got rid of the previous passive situation of having to rely entirely on the command of the flight control center of the rear battleship when facing ghost fighters.
A Jaeger-class battlecruiser in this direction immediately launched electronic interference, and at least half of the missiles instantly lost their targets and began to fly everywhere. At the same time, the DP-20 gunship guarding the side also opened fire, with 8 twin-mounted multi-functional turbolaser cannons and 6 quadruple-mounted close-range laser cannons firing wildly. This kind of craft is specially designed to deal with small targets against fighter jets. It’s also the best at it!
Under the attack of the DP-20 gunboat, more than a dozen Vulture robot fighters were instantly blown into balls of fire.
More Republic fighter jets began to arrive from other directions. Countless explosive fireballs exploded in the U-8 area, and the battle became increasingly fierce.
Admiral Trench was very determined to prevent the Republic from continuing to implement strategic maneuvers. This time he invested 500 Phantom fighters! At present, the Phantom fighter that has been improved many times has a greater advantage than the V-19 fighter that has little room for modification. The fighters from both sides fought frantically for more than half an hour. Finally, Commander Davis of the Republic Fleet came to the rescue. General felt that the losses in the U-8 area were too great, so he ordered the small formation of battleships to retreat.
After a slight victory, there was still no smile on Admiral Trench's face.
……
On February 35th (remind me again, a year in "Star Wars" has 10 months, each month has 35 days, and there are 10 Boxing Days, making a year 360 days), the Confederacy of Independent Systems finally sent reinforcements.
A formation consisting of 1 Divinity-class destroyer, 5 Rookery-class battleships and 5 Behemoth-class battlecruisers arrived on the planet Semels.
The screen in front of Admiral Trench flickered, and a woman with pale skin, no hair, and dark eye shadow appeared. Although she looked weird, she was full of exotic charm.
Asajj Ventress! Count Dooku's favorite disciple of darkness.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk...are you the reinforcement, Ventress." Admiral Trench's chelicerae at the corners of his mouth trembled and he made a tsk-tsk sound as he said hello.
"There are no more." Ventress said coldly, "Our fleet is now very limited in number, and the Republic is still making moves on several battlefields in the east. Therefore, either use this little power to defend the planet Semels. , Or, be buried with the planet."
"Then I am very grateful for your coming, tusk tusk tusk tusk..." Admiral Trench replied in a gentle tone.
"Don't worry, Hutch. You can't kill me on this battlefield." Ventress smiled coldly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... I will send you the battle plan." Trench went straight to the point.
"Leave it to the person next to me." Ventress pointed to the person standing next to her. "Leave the battleship to your command. Count Dooku did arrange it this way. But I, you Better leave me alone.”
The man in black robes who had been standing behind Ventress took a step forward and nodded to Trench, "General Trench, long time no see."
"Uru-Ulik General Si, tut tut tut tut…" Admiral Trench nodded.
Ulu Ulix, one of Tang Xiao’s more senior men, killed his master Green Betty at the beginning of the war at the Battle of Bespin, and surrendered the First Four Civilizations, and then has been fighting for the Fourth Civilization as a dark Jedi who betrayed the Republic until now.
He also enjoyed all the glory and wealth. After all, there were not many useful people in the hands of the fourth civilization at that time, so he was quite easy to use as a Jedi.
At least now, Ulu-Ulix is wearing a combat uniform made of the best biological materials, with precious gems inlaid on the belt, and wearing a rare red fur cloak. This is Things he had never dared to think about when he was a Jedi.
I don’t know how much power these things brought him, but at least they brought him vanity and satisfaction.
And here, the battlefield on the planet Semels, is where he continues to dedicate his strength to the darkness, and then allows himself to gain more wealth and power!
"According to the instructions of Governor Tang Xiao and Count Dooku, I will fully cooperate with your battle, General Trench. And I always believe that victory will definitely be on our side." Ulrik Si raised his head and said.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk... very good, very good." Admiral Trench stroked the chelicerae at the corner of his mouth, "The Republic fleet is constantly unfolding, I judge... they want to force a landing, tsk tsk tsk tsk. You need to be prepared, tut tut tut tut..."
