Chapter 2305: Rendili Raid (5)
2306: Rendili Raid (5)
Admiral Trench finally launched a counterattack!
The 10 Hells Angel-class battlecruisers rushed directly towards the Galactic Empire fleet unreasonably, relying on their strong and thick protection with electric heating armor to attract a lot of firepower. Under the command of the captains of each ship , they turned the ship sideways and fired wildly with high-energy gamma ray emitters on the side.
As the backbone of the fleet, the Cole-class battlecruiser is like a needle in the sea. The super-matter electromagnetic gun fire rate is slow, but their conventional firepower is still powerful. Although the conventional firepower of the Cole-class battlecruisers can no longer shake the Empire-class Star Destroyers, it is still quite effective against the Victory II-class Star Destroyers behind the Imperial fleet formation.
The Martha-class guided missile heavy cruiser fires missile salvos again and again. Every time the Fire Cloud series missiles are fired, they will produce a large deadly radiation cloud. Even if the Star Destroyer is in the radiation cloud for a long time, the main armor belt will be damaged. To erosion!
Of course, the greatest threat among them is the disaster-class battlecruiser. This kind of warship dismantled the original weapon system and installed a particle light spear instead. The destructive power caused was terrifying!
If a Victory II-class Star Destroyer is hit head-on by a particle light spear, it will basically break the shield with one shot and take it away with two shots, leaving them no chance at all.
This elite fleet is also the only trump card in Admiral Trench's hand, and it is also the only force that can compete head-on with the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
"The whole army attacks!" General Trench clenched his six fists tightly and roared in a rare loud voice.
He is usually calm and relaxed, but this time he issued the assault order as if he was venting his anger. He is using such a roar to cover up his inner uneasiness...
But now faced with a dilemma, he must make a decision!
Now the Imperial Fleet is chasing the disintegrated left wing, and more than 20 Victory II-class Star Destroyers have been destroyed in the left wing fleet. However, the Imperial fleet continued to pursue them fiercely, vowing to completely tear the left wing into pieces.
Admiral Trench immediately led the main fleet on the right wing to advance at full speed and launched an attack from the rear of the imperial fleet!
This attack was very decisive, and the Imperial Fleet seemed not to have expected that Admiral Trench would launch such a sharp attack, and did not react for a while. Those Imperial Fleet Victory II-class Star Destroyers that were behind the formation were immediately severely hit and destroyed in large numbers!
"Attack!" Admiral Trench struck hard on the holographic star map with his pointer.
Lundilli's defense fleet was fully equipped with firepower. Not only that, but those warships whose left wing was disintegrating, after receiving the counterattack order, many of them quickly adjusted and launched a desperate counterattack. The left and right wings immediately formed a pincer attack on the imperial fleet!
Faced with such an unexpected situation, the imperial fleet suddenly fell into chaos and many battleships were destroyed.
But...
"Not enough! Continue the attack!" Admiral Trench stared at the holographic star map. On the battlefield, the more than 400 Imperial-class Star Destroyers are still as solid as a rock! The huge 1,600-meter-long hull remains strong even if it withstands a large number of attacks.
And now, as the fleets of both sides continue to advance, this battle has completely turned into a melee, a chaotic battle!
Admiral Trench issued the order again, "Interstellar Base No. 4, disarm the space anchoring system! Enter planet-synchronous orbit!!"
According to his order, Interstellar Base No. 4 was disarmed. Without the space anchoring system, the entire interstellar base was immediately captured by the huge gravity of the Rendili planet and began to fall towards the planet's atmosphere. But as the interstellar base continues to fall, the interstellar base that was originally fixed in one place now begins to move following the rotation of the Rendili planet.
According to the location of Interstellar Base No. 4, in 10 minutes, the interstellar base will enter the current battlefield. The tow of dozens of barges would then be used to temporarily keep the starbase in orbit. By then, dragged by the barge, Interstellar Base No. 4 will have at least 6 hours to cover this battlefield with all its firepower!
This is the final move he prepared for the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer! As long as the Executor class can be re-created with the help of the interstellar base, then there is a chance that this defense battle for the Rendili planet can be fought!
As for how much resources and cost will be needed to push this huge interstellar base back into outer space after that, that is not something that needs to be considered now.
At the same time, a burst of extremely dazzling light suddenly burst out on the battlefield! Immediately afterwards, countless beams of light were shot in all directions! Almost at the same time, dozens of warships in Rendili's defense fleet were hit by powerful firepower. The shield energy of these warships bottomed out almost instantly, and a harsh alarm sounded from the bridge.
The Executor Star Destroyer, which has been located in the center of the fleet and has not fully participated in the battle, finally takes action!
The three Commander II-class Star Destroyers and the extremely terrifying Executor-class super Star Destroyer are the true core of the Imperial fleet.
The more than 5,000 twin-mounted XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannons on the Executor super Star Destroyer fired simultaneously. Such terrifying power almost destroyed the world!
And the reason why the XX-9 heavy turbolaser cannon has become the ancestral ship-borne weapon of the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire is mainly because the firepower of this turbolaser cannon is adjusted according to the amount of energy provided. In other words, the power of the same model of XX-9 heavy turbolaser on the Empire-class Star Destroyer and the Executor-class super Star Destroyer is completely different!
The warships of the Lundilli Defense Fleet were hit by a salvo from the Executor Star Destroyer and suffered heavy losses immediately! In just one salvo, 5 Victory II-class Star Destroyers, 1 Cole-class battlecruiser, and 1 Martha-class guided missile heavy cruiser were destroyed, and dozens of battleships were severely damaged.
Facing the heavy blow from the super battleship, Admiral Trench had already anticipated it.
An orange-red pulse laser pierced the sky directly, shining directly on the extremely powerful deflector shield of the Executor Super Star Destroyer. Even the Enforcer's energy supply and deflector shield produced a large number of energy ripples during this attack.
Agniev-class interstellar base, No. 4!
This square super weapon platform is 15,000 meters long on one side, and its volume is more than 10 times that of the Executor-class super Star Destroyer! This terrifying defense facility finally entered the battlefield along with the rotation of the planet Rendili!
Countless missiles and proton torpedoes are fired, countless turbolaser cannons are fired, and countless gamma rays are fired! At the same time, there are powerful pulse laser cannons installed on the four corners!
A raindrop-like attack fell on the Executor, and the three Commander II-class dreadnoughts nearby also responded immediately and headed towards the interstellar base.
