Chapter 1380 The Fierce Battle on Onderon (II)
1380 The Fierce Battle on Onderon (II)
On the Republic fleet flagship, Tarkin's Will, Wilhuff Tarkin He waved his hand suddenly and said loudly: "All spaceships, head for the Dirksen satellite! This ship rushes forward, ready to start the first salvo!"
"General, the separatist base on the Dirksen satellite It's currently on the other side because of its rotation?" the adjutant asked with some confusion.
Wilhuff Tarkin sneered, "Who told you I was going to bomb that base? Bomb me indiscriminately! Every inch of land on the Dexon satellite will be covered in flames and lava. Swallow!"
"Yes!!"
The huge fleet of the Republic began to move forward. On the layered hull of the Archon-class ship at the head, rows of XX-9 twin-mounted heavy-duty turbolaser turrets began to rotate. The two not-so-long barrels pointed in the direction of the Dirksen satellite, and then opened fire directly!
60 twin-mounted heavy-duty turbolaser turrets, divided into three gun groups: forward, left and right, with 20 turrets in each group, which is a full 8 times more than the Jaeger-class battlecruiser. The terrifying firepower suddenly burst out!
Dense turbine laser beams were launched and exploded in the unsuspecting primitive jungle on the other side of the Dexon satellite!
Boom! boom! boom! boom! ! ! As beams of light fell from the sky, the moment they landed, an extremely bright and dazzling hemispherical light exploded instantly! As the power of the explosion dissipated, the hemispherical light gradually recovered, forming mushroom clouds hundreds of meters high!
Each bombing caused terrible damage to the ground. The earth was shaking, and the mountain-like rocks were turned directly up, and then turned into fragments under the terrifying impact. Then the terrible high temperature directly melted these fragments into lava and splashed everywhere.
Countless molten lava falling from the sky, this seems like a doomsday scene!
On the other side of the Dirksen satellite, even far away from the bombing range, the originally dense primitive jungle turned into a sea of fire amidst the terrifying aftermath of the explosion and the rain of lava falling from the sky. The animals ran around screaming and wailing, and then died one after another.
Wilhuff Tarkin stood on the bridge with his hands behind his back, looking at the satellite in front of him through the wide portholes. On the originally green planet, dozens of small red flowers bloomed, and the number was gradually increasing.
Every red flower is a terrible explosion that affects a range of more than ten kilometers, and as the bombing continues, more and more places are affected by the aftermath and flames of the explosion!
The Archon-class Star Destroyer, as its name suggests, was designed to destroy a planet.
Of course, this destruction does not mean disintegration in the literal sense, but means destroying the entire surface of the planet, commonly known as burning glass - burning the entire surface of the planet into a glassy state using high temperature and high pressure.
With Archon-level firepower, the time required to do this is - three days!
A Star Destroyer destroys a planet in three days! Such firepower is simply incredible! Likewise, it’s also scary!
You must know that even before, the Galactic Republic had a history of orbital bombing in the war, but the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, which is also equipped with the XX-9 twin-mounted heavy turbolaser cannon, has only 8 main doors. artillery, so when carrying out orbital bombing, it can only be bombed purposefully against specific tactical targets.
The Jaeger-class battlecruisers, unless deployed in groups, do not have the ability to bombard and destroy a planet indiscriminately.
However, one Archon-class Star Destroyer can do it!
In the Republic Fleet, on the Cheer-class assault landing ship where Anakin Skywalker was, he looked in the direction of the Dexon satellite with a gloomy expression.
"How could Tarkin do this!" Ahsoka Tano immediately became anxious and said loudly: "He immediately started orbital bombing! This is expressly prohibited by the Constitution of the Republic!"
"What he bombed was no man's land, so even if you go to the parliament, you can still say it." Luna-Huan waved her hands aside and said.
"You are also Jedi, you shouldn't sit idly by and watch!" Ahsoka Tano said angrily.
"Then what should we do? Tarkin cannot be summoned, so just kill his ship!" Luna-Huan said with interest, looking at her eagerness to try, It seems that he really intends to do this.
"Although it is a bit difficult, if you fly our Dream, it should be possible." Luna-Meng thought about it seriously and said. Dream is the name they gave to the special ARC-170 heavy fighter equipped for them, and this fighter is now quietly parked in the hangar of the Cheer-class assault landing ship.
"What the hell are you guys doing!" Ahsoka Tano said sternly as she had no choice but to deal with the sisters, and she also had a bad impression of them.
"Okay! Just think that Tarkin is luring the snake out of the hole. I will keep an eye on him. If he does anything outrageous again, I will not let him go!" Anakin Skywalker said in a deep voice.
While speaking, he took a deep look at the Dream Sisters.
Destroy a Star Destroyer with a single fighter? Anakin Skywalker's eyes were solemn. Judging from his understanding of the Dream sisters, although Luna Dream often talked about things, her sister Luna Dream spoke very seriously.
Could they really do it? ! What kind of pair of monsters are these!
Thinking about this, Anakin Skywalker couldn't help but start to think about whether he could do this. Although it was really rude to think so, and it should not be what a qualified Jedi Knight should do. Things to think about.
But from another perspective, none of the four people standing here seem to be normal Jedi...
Ahsoka Tano is obviously still a little angry, but since the master also said so She didn't have much to say, she just sat there and sulked.
Under the cover of the Cheer-class assault landing ship, the transport fleet made a false shot from the periphery of the Dexon satellite, and then rushed directly to the planet Onderon.
......
At the same time, the capital of the planet Onderon, Izzy City.
The three floating trucks drove directly to the shelter outside the city, then slowly lowered and opened the hatch. The hundreds of civilians on board the vehicles got out and briefly communicated with the administrators and garrison outside the shelter. These people let them in.
These shelters were previously built on the outskirts of the city. A total of more than 300 shelters were built, each of which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. In other words, ideally, these shelters can accommodate more than 3 million people.
Of course, in reality, if so many people are forced to enter, the food supply and living conditions will definitely be greatly compromised.
“Okay, these people are done.” Stella Guerrera smiled and said to Judgment, who was standing aside in silence, “Thank you for your help, otherwise the three machines encountered on the road would be destroyed. The robot will cause us very serious casualties!”
Judge’s expression could not be seen under the mask, and the mouth exposed under the mask did not show any fluctuations. She just said calmly: “You What you have done is just a drop in the bucket. The total population of Ize City is more than 5 million, which is almost equivalent to a quarter of the entire planet's population. How many can you save?"
"I said, I can't do those big things, I can't stop the war, I have to do something that can be done." Stella said.
