1286.Battle of Rendili (twelve)
The warship bombardment in space continued, and Republic task force, led by Trinald-Lieutenant General Skarrid, conducted a very determined assault. They used three Knight-class Star Destroyers as the front, and 17 Hunter Class Battlecruisers as back support. Their powerful firepower and coordination made the Rendili fleet dare not leave the space defense platform for even half a step.
Although the strength of Rendili Planet Defense Fleet is three times that of the opponent, the largest number of them is Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser. This kind of spaceship, which was the main battleship of Galactic Republic two or three years ago, is now an outdated product two eras behind Knight-class Star Destroyer!
If Das-Malthael were asked to comment, he would be able to talk about several of the poor design aspects of Imperial-class Star Destroyer, not to mention the exaggerated claims that Imperial-class has 100,000 defects in some materials.
Of course, although he mistakenly identified Knight-class as Imperial-class, there was actually no difference between the two.
But the problem is that flaws are flaws. With the firepower of Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, it poses no threat to Knight-class at all. Because no matter what happens, Knight-class Star Destroyer is 1,600 meters long, and its volume is almost ten times that of the 600-meter-long Dreadnought-class. Even the opponent's shield capacity cannot be shaken by Dreadnought-class.
What's more, Knight-class, which uses the latest Deflector Shield and Turbolaser cannons, is still higher than Dreadnought-class in terms of unit energy output rate.
The only ones that can pose a threat to Knight-class Star Destroyer are the seven Victory I-class Star Destroyer. However, the 900-meter-long Victory-class is still the difference between an adult and a child in front of Knight-class. It may be a little painful when it hits Knight-class, but that's all.
Countless Turbolaser beams from Rendili's fleet were continuously launched, even reflecting the dark universe in colorful colors, but in fact the effect was very little.
On the other side, after Trinald-Lieutenant General Skarrid carefully calculated the strength and formation of both fleets, the electronic eye on the left side of his face flashed with scarlet light, and he said ferociously, "Send the order! The first Hunter Class formation is on standby to maintain artillery fire! Other formations follow the lead of the flagship! Left rudder 19! Concentrate artillery fire to attack the enemy's right wing!!"
"It's the general!" The adjutant immediately passed on the order, and then complimented, "The general is really insightful, and he can see the firepower loopholes of the rebels at a glance! As long as we can concentrate our firepower to destroy the defense platform on their right wing, the rebel fleet will completely collapse immediately!"
Skarrid was so proud that he waved his hand and said, "This is not enough! Since we want to be the general, we must directly checkmate!! The fighter formation takes off! Break into the enemy fleet formation and prevent them from changing formations! I will resolve the battle within an hour! Jane-Dodonna Just be the leader of the Logistics Department for me this time! Hahahahahaha!"
"Yes!!"
However, Master Yoda standing aside frowned and said in a deep voice, "Power of the Dark Side, I feel. In this fleet, Sith Lord, Das-Malthael."
Although Skarrid felt a little unhappy, he still maintained the greatest respect in front of Master Yoda, "You are worrying too much Master Yoda. No matter who the other party is Sith Lord Or anything else, facing Galactic Republic's iron fist, there is only one way to defeat! Galactic Republic is becoming stronger again, and from now on, Jedi Order will no longer be alone."
Master Yoda shook his head and said nothing.
Republic task force immediately began to adjust the formation. The four Hunter Class Battlecruiser stayed in place, still with full firepower to maintain suppression, while the other 13 Hunter Class, led by three Knight-class Star Destroyer, rushed directly towards the space defense platform on the right wing of the Rendili fleet!
Lieutenant General Skarrid's judgment was not wrong. As one of the best students among the Republic Navy Academy, he accurately saw the loopholes in the opponent's fleet layout, and made a prompt decision to seize the loopholes and launch a fierce attack!
In contrast, Captain Commander Jesse-Darlen of the Rendili fleet, to put it bluntly, he was an officer who was eliminated by Republic Judicial Fleet, and then relied on family connections to serve in Rendili Planet Defense Fleet. The difference between him and Skarrid is as big as the difference between the national football team and Argentina.
Facing Skarrid's fierce offensive, he had no other choice but to keep repeating, "Withstand it." Fortunately, this was a clone. If he were here, he might have turned around and fled.
At the same time that Republic fleet took off the fighter formation, the Rendili fleet also began to take off a large number of fighter jets. Most of the fighters equipped by Rendili Defense Fleet are V-19 Torrent light fighters. They don't even have ARC-170 heavy fighters, and the number is not large, only about 400.
In contrast, in addition to more than 1,200 V-19 fighter jets, the fighter formation taking off from Galactic Republic also includes more than 100 ARC-170 fighter jets, and even 50 of the latest equipment that have just been added to Republic Navy's establishment - Alpha-3 "Holy Light" V-wing starfighter (Alpha-3 Nimbus V-wing starfighter)!!
As soon as the fighter formations of both sides came into contact, the battle situation immediately became one-sided!
The fighter pilots of the Rendili fleet are no match for those elite Galactic Republic fighter pilots. Even though both sides fly V-19 light fighters, their combat capabilities are still very different.
As for the 50 V-wing fighter, they immediately started the unparalleled mode! Wherever they passed, the V-19 fighter jets of the Rendili fleet were shot down in pieces, and there was no single enemy at all!
V-wing fighter Whether it is mobility, flexibility, firepower, defense or flight control avionics, it crushes the V-19 fighter jet in almost all aspects!
This is Clone Wars in the original plot, which is recognized as the best overall performance fighter on the battlefield!
Seeing this situation, Trinald-Lieutenant General Skarrid already raised his head high, with his hands behind his back and his chin almost facing the front. He was waiting for the moment of victory, waiting for the good news to come to Coruscant, and the congratulations from Galactic Republic's top management.
However, he didn't notice that Master Yoda, who had been standing next to him just now, had quietly left at some point.
At the same time, Das-Malthael had already boarded a V-19 Torrent fighter, and he was getting familiar with the control system of this fighter jet that he had never flown before.
On the screen in front of him, Captain Jesse-Darlen's tearful expression was projected, "Lord! I have tried my best to make them withstand it... but, they can't withstand it!"
"What you mean by 'trying your best' is that in the past 30 minutes, you shouted 'Hold it' a total of 233 times?" Das-Malthael mocked.
"But... but I can't help it! Those three Knight-class Star Destroyer are so powerful! We are no match at all!" Jesse-Darlen said with a sad face.
Das-Malthael was still debugging the system. He said without raising his head, "If Bangjila-Ulan heard what you just said, would he immediately throw you into the toilet and drown?"
