Chapter 1649. The Artillery Battle of Yago-Dur (4)
1649. The Artillery Battle of Yago-Dur (4)
In Gideon Tarkin’s fleet, almost all The battleships all aimed their turbolaser cannons at the B interstellar base and fired wildly. Not to mention the Knight class, even the Jaeger class also tilted the hull forward and continued bombardment with the XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon.
So under such a situation, faced with the sudden attack of swarm drones, the entire Republic fleet was stunned and unable to take any effective action at all!
The Knight-class still has 40 point defense turrets, and the Chasseur-class warships that leave all their own air defense to carrier-based aircraft are even more blind at this time!
Facing the attack of swarm drones, the Republic fleet almost immediately fell into chaos! You must know that these drones all flew out of Interstellar Base B. It can almost be said that they rushed into the formation of the Republic fleet as soon as they took off!
With the crazy bombing of more than 20,000 drones, on average, each Republic warship can be taken care of by more than 100 drones! Such a saturation attack is simply not something they can handle.
And at the same time, under the command of Matt Horner, the Dawn Principality fleet also launched a resolute counterattack!
No matter how miserably these battleships were suppressed by the Republic fleet before, they are all ignored now. Even if the battleship is destroyed, they will rush forward and bombard them with the still intact main guns.
Even the 20 disaster-class battlecruisers no longer avoided the Republic's high-speed assault fleet at this moment. They stopped again from the evasive state, and the particle light spears were outputted at full strength!
Almost all the fighter jets guarding the Republic battleship were cleared out in just 20 minutes! These fighter jets were not well connected in the electromagnetic radiation storm, and it was difficult to get guidance from the mothership's flight control management. In the end, they could only fly around and fight on their own.
After the initial wave of raids, more than 5,000 swarm drones rushed towards the Republic's high-speed assault fleet that was fighting the disaster-class battlecruiser formation!
Facing the attack of swarm drones, the Aquitens-class light cruisers and Karak-class light cruisers of the high-speed assault fleet performed even worse. Even the Karak-class light cruiser, which is famous for its high speed, is unable to exert its advantages in the face of the extremely fast and flexible swarm drones.
The high-speed assault turned into a high-speed escape. After entangled with the swarm drones for a while, these light cruisers found that there was no chance of winning, so they quickly turned around and fled in the direction of their own main fleet.
The Republic Fleet's confident offensive was completely disrupted.
This sudden change shocked Republic Fleet Commander Gideon Tarkin. He rushed to the radar and shouted: "This is impossible!! Impossible!! Even our fighter jets can't fight, why are these little Drones? "
"I don't know! Strong electromagnetic interference is still there! Even the communications we send to other warships are being interfered with!" said the signal soldier.
“Two-thirds of the volume of those micro drones is on the engine, and they are also equipped with extremely powerful plasma rays! At first glance, it seems that the drones completely rely on remote control. How can it be possible in such a situation? How can you be so flexible under the circumstances?" Gideon Tarkin was so angry that he even wanted to accuse the Separatists of cheating!
"General! The high-speed assault fleet is turning around! The power generation inquiry has not been answered yet!"
"There are still 107 warships that have not responded to communication! The communication system interference has increased!"
< br>
"General! It's bad! The power of the electromagnetic radiation storm is increasing! Our normal communications are also affected!"
"The fighter formation is confirmed to be unable to take off!"
Gideon Tarkin Looking at the dense swarm of drones on the holographic star map that was constantly being disturbed due to interference, his expression was extremely ugly.
Because even now, when the electromagnetic radiation storm is raging, those swarm drones still remain as fast and flexible as ever, and they still work in unison and cooperate seamlessly. "Retreat! Retreat immediately! Save your strength!" Gideon Tarkin gave the order decisively.
"General, we can't confirm whether the message has been actually conveyed! The interference now is too strong!" the adjutant said, sweating profusely.
"This ship will turn around immediately! Fire a thermal flare and notify all warships to retreat!" Gideon Tarkin said.
Five flares of different colors were fired from the flagship of the Republic fleet, the Commander II-class dreadnought. The flare burned quickly, emitting extremely high temperature and brightness, like three small stars.
At the same time, the Commander II-class dreadnought ignored it and began to turn around, no longer willing to fight, and retreated toward the rear.
Due to communication interference, only some of the Republic warships that noticed these signals also began to retreat, but more warships were still fighting blindly, not realizing that their flagship had taken the lead.
...
At this moment, on the Archon-class aircraft carrier, the flagship of the Dawn Principality fleet, Matt Horner was still giving orders, "Launch signal flares and notify all ships to attack with all their strength! Kill the Republic warships as much as possible!" "
"General, the communication interference has increased and it is no longer possible to communicate normally," the communication soldier turned around and said.
Matt Horner nodded, exhaled a long breath of relief, and said to himself, "Okay... this buys us some time... Next, just wait for the planet to change its orbit this time..."
He stretched out his hand to the communicator in front of him, and then thought about the communication interference, so he shook his head and turned towards a person behind the bridge. Go to the cabin.
After taking a heavily guarded elevator and passing through several security doors, Matt Horner came to a sealed cabin.
Through the spherical glass door of this cabin, I saw a woman standing in it - a pale-skinned Zabrak woman!
Maris Bruder was once the apprentice of Master Shakti.
During the Battle of Kamino, Maris Bruder fell to the dark side under the influence of the Dream Sisters and joined the Fourth Civilization. Later, she was assigned to Darth Lilim's subordinates, but since Darth Lilim went to the North, Maris Bruder disappeared.
Who would have known that she would actually be here!
And look at her body, connected to countless data lines, even the back of her head was opened, and hundreds of long, radiating needles penetrated directly into her brain!
"Start self-examination to confirm the impact of the electromagnetic radiation storm on you." Matt Horner said calmly.
Matt Horner still has no sympathy for the Zabrak woman in front of her now that she is like this. Because in his opinion, this person was not a good person in the first place, and he came over to join him very hastily, so it was difficult for him to have any loyalty.
Now that it is connected to the Archon-class aircraft carrier and becomes the command center of the swarm drones, it is a good use of waste!
