Chapter 2309 Raid Battle on Planet Kira (2)
2310. Raid Battle on Planet Kira (2)
Emergency news from the planet Naboo came like snow flakes. At the same time, the main force deployment of the separatist fleet attacking the planet Naboo gradually became clear.
An Ankelon-class Titan battleship, the Xuanwu. Hells Angel-class battlecruisers, 180; Cole-class battlecruisers, 40; Behemoth-class battlecruisers, 100; Sova-class aircraft carriers, 20; Dunov-class battlecruisers, 10; Doomsday Battlefield-class battlecruisers, 50 ships.
There are also 1,000 small and medium-sized warships of various types, including the Xingzi-class maintenance drone carrier, the Blue Sky-class command ship, the Steadfast-class cruiser, the Double-Edge class electronic warfare light cruiser and other types of warships to provide mobility for the fleet. and accessibility features.
General Michel Unser looked at the report in his hand and nodded slightly. This troop deployment was not beyond his expectation, and indeed they were the main battleship models of the Dawn Principality according to the intelligence. Maybe the only thing that was a little strange was that he didn't see the disaster-class battlecruiser, but this was also a good thing. He didn't have to face the particle light spear, so he had a lot less things to think about.
But he will not take it lightly, because so far, Hells Angel-class battlecruisers have rarely been directly destroyed on the battlefield.
The Hells Angel-class battlecruiser was a battleship that only debuted at the end of the Clone Wars. As soon as it debuted, it directly swept the Jaeger-class battlecruisers of the Galactic Republic at that time into the trash. Its extremely thick armor and electrothermal armor are unusually resistant to turbolaser cannons. It often goes on a rampage as soon as a war begins, and the Republic has no way to do anything about it.
However, precisely because it debuted very late, there are not many examples of the Hell's Angel class for reference in large-scale fleet operations.
Now, what he needs to face is a total of 180 Hell's Angels! This number makes Michel Unser both nervous and excited. This is the first time the Hells Angels have been dispatched in a group, and it is also supported by the Ankeron-class Titan battleship!
If he can defeat this fleet in one fell swoop, he will set two records - the record of sinking a large number of Hell's Angels-class battlecruisers in a large-scale fleet battle, and the record of sinking Ankeron-class Titan battleships! !
Once he is able to do this, His Majesty the Emperor previously mentioned in the Imperial Parliament the establishment of the rank of Imperial Marshal, maybe he can be promoted to Marshal in one fell swoop with this military exploit!
After learning about the composition of the Kingdom of Dawn's fleet, Michel Unser felt that he had a chance! Twice the force, plus the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, not to mention that the double force is actually more than that. Because the Imperial-class Star Destroyer is 1,600 meters long, while the Hell's Angel-class battlecruiser is only 1,254 meters long, there is a big difference in size between the two.
The advantage of quantity plus the advantage of size, this wave, the advantage is mine!
……
Galaxy standard time, at 10:30 pm on August 6, the Michelle fleet approached the Naboo galaxy.
According to reports from the Naboo system, the Separatist fleet did not launch an attack, but gathered outside the Naboo system, seemingly waiting for the arrival of the Imperial fleet.
For Michel Unser, this is exactly what he wants. Because the hyperspace channel on the Naboo planet is relatively simple, you need to pass through the planet Ennako first, and then you can go to the Hydia channel from the branch route.
So when the Michel fleet settled on the planet Ennaco, it was equivalent to the separatist fleet being blocked on the planet Naboo. This is the battlefield where Michelle has dreamed of a fleet battle!
Because once the battle breaks out on the planet Naboo, his fleet can receive support directly from the planet Naboo. Although the defense system of the planet Naboo is very weak compared to the planet Kira, and does not even have a planetary shield, at least the industrial system on the planet Naboo is relatively complete and can provide supplies for the fleet.
Even Naboo's air force can play a role. For example, the N-1 fighter jet that is still in service today, because of its excellent performance, is not too far behind even now, and is more or less capable of fighting. Playing at home and having the advantage of the fleet, doesn’t it mean I have the advantage?
After the Imperial fleet entered the Ennaco system, the planet Ennaco surrendered without hesitation. This planet used to be a transit station for the Trade Alliance. It was mainly used to store and transport plasma mines plundered from the planet Naboo. During the siege of the planet Naboo, the fleet of the Trade Alliance was also gathered here.
But later, with the outbreak of the war, the strategic status of the planet Ennaco plummeted. Except for Ling Liang who fought a guerrilla war on the planet Ennaco in the late war, there was no performance.
Now with the collapse of the Trade Federation, the planet Ennako is basically a place that no one cares about. The Dawn Principality fleet came over and they lined up to welcome them. The Imperial fleet came over and raised their hands to surrender without any hesitation.
At 11 o'clock, the imperial fleet entered the planet Naboo, and the fleet of the Principality of Dawn was ready.
Following the instructions of Admiral Michel Unser, the defenders of the planet Naboo took off 400 N-1 starfighters and assembled at the space station outside the planet.
However, at this moment, Admiral Michel Unser received an urgent call from the planet Kira - the planet Kira was attacked by the separatist fleet!
Attacking the planet Kira, there are 60 Disaster-class battlecruisers, 50 'miniature Behemoth-class battlecruisers', 40 Brown Bear-class heavy destroyers and 30 Steadfast-class cruisers.
The size of this fleet is not large, but it still allows Michel Unser to understand where those disaster-class battlecruisers have gone. Only what the 'miniature version of the beast class' was made him a little confused, but he felt that this was not the point.
What really made Admiral Unser feel angry was that this fleet did not directly attack the planet Kira. Instead, it stopped at a distance of 60 light minutes from the planet Kira, and then used particle light spears to attack the planet. Pull the planet's outer space station for bombing!
A distance of 60 light minutes, which is far beyond the maximum range of the Kira planet's defense facilities. The maximum effective range of various weapons of the Galactic Empire is generally 10 to 20 light minutes. If it is further away, not only will the blaster beam emitted be unable to restrain the energy, but the fire control radar will also be unable to lock on it.
But this range is just right for the particle light spear. Moreover, the target of the particle light spear is those space facilities that can only follow the planet in a uniform revolution. It is equivalent to shooting a fixed target, so there is no need to worry about accuracy!
If this continues, I am afraid that the defense system of Planet Kira will be completely destroyed by the particle light spear without being able to fight back!
Admiral Michel-Unser was furious and ordered the remaining fleet on the planet Kira to attack immediately and destroy the fleet, which was only escorted by cruisers. And at the same time, the main fleet in his hands immediately launched an attack on the separatist main fleet outside the planet Naboo!
During this period of time, countless pieces of military intelligence were flying all over the sky. When Admiral Michel-Unser ordered the attack, he received a piece of information - [Large-scale hyperspace fluctuations were detected, and it is speculated that the main separatist fleet left the planet Eriadu. 】
Michel Unser's first reaction was that this was a delayed piece of information because the main fleet of the separatists had already left the planet Eriadu. So he threw this information into the trash and focused on the frontal battlefield...
Then, he led the fleet to a dead end!
