1519. Enarc Campaign (two, three)
"Fire! Fire! Fire!!!" Republic task force commander Kabayo roared loudly.
The five Knight-class Star Destroyers are at full firepower, and each Star Destroyer is equipped with 60 twin XX-9 heavy-duty Turbolaser cannons. Together, this is 600 cannons! Compared to the Hunter Class Battlecruiser, which has only eight twin-mounted main guns, one Knight-class Star Destroyer is equivalent to the firepower of eight Hunter Classs!
The volley of 600 heavy-duty Turbolaser cannons was devastating, literally.
Because the heaven and earth in the traditional sense, that is, the planet's atmosphere and surface rock and soil, are absolutely unable to withstand this level of bombing!
However, when such firepower fell on Xuanwu Titan warship, it disappeared without a trace, just like a bull in the sea.
A faint green light emitted around Xuanwu Titan warship. When the Turbolaser cannon passed through this light green light, its energy was directly neutralized in large quantities. Finally, it fell on the battleship's Deflector Shield like it was being tickled, without even causing a ripple.
"Asshole..." Kabayo was sweating coldly now, clenching his fists. He knew that even if there were five Galactic Republic and new type of Knight-class Star Destroyer in his own army, he would never be Xuanwu's opponent!
Compared with the previous Eriadu System Campaign, the current Republic fleet commander has long since given up all illusions after a long period of simulation and research. Without an absolute superior force, it is impossible to shake Xuanwu. Therefore, they will not have any illusions about taking advantage of Xuanwu.
But now, Kabayo had to bite the bullet and let his fleet rush forward to fight Xuanwu head-on.
The five Knight-class Star Destroyers were still firing wildly, and countless flames exploded on the Xuanwu's shield, but the opponent remained motionless!
"Take off the fighter jet!" Kabayo gave the order.
Hunter Class Battlecruiser, which was already ready for departure, immediately launched Hangar Platform, and a large number of combat secrets took off densely.
However, the hulls on both sides of Xuanwu once again emitted dazzling red light, and then Republic fleet almost all the electronic equipment and energy equipment of the warship were interfered with at the same time! Not only that, the outer shells of those fighter jets also began to erode.
"It's Destruction Matrix!! Let the fighter formation disperse as soon as possible!" Kabayo said loudly.
Destruction Matrix is a very powerful electromagnetic interference field. It can not only interfere with the electronic system of enemy warships, reduce energy output and weapon charging efficiency, but also cause the enemy ship's armor to be continuously eroded and damaged.
It would be fine if it were a capital ship like Knight-class or Hunter Class, but if it were a fighter jet, it would be destroyed under this interference field if it could not sustain it for too long!
Xuanwu is such a terrifying battleship. Not only can it make itself indestructible, it can also prevent its opponents from using their strongest firepower.
Under the circumstances, Xuanwu became difficult to shake.
"The capital ship continues to attack Xuanwu! Other battleships disperse! Attack Trade Federation's space port!" Kabayo issued the order according to the combat plan.
If we must say that the Xuanwu has any weaknesses, it is that the range that the terrifying combat systems on the Titan warship can cover is not too wide. At least compared to the tens of thousands of kilometers of battlefields of the two large fleets, the effect range of the Xuanwu can only cover a small area of it.
Therefore, large-scale detours through high-mobility fast battleships are also one of the solutions proposed by the Republic Army military research department.
At this moment, General Kabayo used his 5 Knight-class Star Destroyer and 20 Hunter Class Star Destroyer as bait. After irritating Xuanwu, he continued to stay here to act as a human shield. Other small and medium-sized warships and fighter groups, including Aquitenes-class light cruiser, bypassed Titan warship and rushed towards Trade Federation's space port.
A burst of bombardment!
The cargo loading and unloading spaceports of Trade Federation cannot withstand such bombings, and the other warships of Fourth Civilization, including Kohl-class Battlecruiser, are difficult to block the large number of fighter groups and small and medium-sized fast warships of Galactic Republic due to insufficient numbers.
If there are other battleships in the battleship sequence of both sides that Galactic Republic has an advantage in performance, then there is no doubt that Aquitenes-class light cruiser, which was designed by Willix-Blythex, is definitely one of them.
This 325-meter-long Light Cruiser, which is widely equipped by Galactic Republic, greatly surpasses the 344-meter Revelation-class light cruiser and 290-meter Grizzly-class heavy destroyer currently used by Fourth Civilization in terms of combat performance. Of course, this is also because the 288-meter Enforcer-class heavy destroyer of Fourth Civilization has not yet been installed on a large scale.
Such division of troops and harassment really caused the Xuanwu battle group to focus on one thing and not the other, because this battle group did not have many warships, and the five Durov-class Battlecruiser and Sova-class Carrier must also follow Xuanwu to provide support. But relying solely on Kohl-class cannot deal with the Galactic Republic Light Cruiser and fighter groups flying around like locusts.
In a violent explosion, another Trade Federation spaceport was destroyed and exploded into countless pieces. Some Neimoidian transport planes swarmed out of the spaceports that were under attack, trying to escape, but they were all overtaken by the red-eyed Galactic Republic fighter pilots and destroyed one by one.
However, while achieving such a record, the price was the 5 Knight-class Star Destroyer and 20 Hunter Class Battlecruiser, which suffered extremely heavy losses under the concentrated attack of the Xuanwu battle group.
In less than an hour of fighting, 9 Hunter Class were destroyed, and the remaining warships were basically damaged to varying degrees.
"Don't stop! Continue to destroy Trade Federation's spaceport facilities!" Kabayo roared loudly.
Just when he was about to lose it, a communication finally intervened, and he saw a Neimoidian wearing a high hat saying in panic, "Please stop! Stop! Stop bombing our spaceport! We surrender... surrender..."
Kabayo finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Want to surrender? Then you must first close Planetary Shield and stop all resistance!"
The Trade Federation executive was still a little hesitant, "Closing Planetary Shield will..."
"Then I will continue to attack!" Kabayo said coldly.
"No! No! It's too difficult to shut down Planetary Shield. We are willing to shut down all close fire systems and orbital defense systems first..." Neimoidian said.
"As soon as possible!"
"Yes... yes..."
Soon, the armed space stations and defense platforms that were still firing wildly stopped resisting. At the same time, Xuanwu's attacks became more violent. The orange lasers emitted by the eight heavy-duty Pulse Laser cannons equipped on Titan warship continued to sweep over Knight-class Star Destroyer.
Finally, the shield of a Knight-class Star Destroyer was broken, and the main gun group on the upper deck of the battleship was attacked by Pulse Laser. A large number of them were immediately damaged, and the battleship's combat effectiveness also dropped sharply.
Kabayo Seeing this, he quickly sent a message to the rear.
A moment later, white light flashed violently in the universe, and the huge 8,000-meter-long bodies of two Commander II-class Dreadnought suddenly appeared, followed by 10 other Hunter Class Battlecruiser!
At the same time after leaving the hyperspace jump, the powerful main guns of the two Commander II-classs opened fire on the Xuanwu Titan warships! At the same time, the newly joined Hunter Class Battlecruiser also took off more fighter jets.
They seized the current opportunity. The Destruction Matrix system of Xuanwu Titan warship had just stopped due to overheating and started a cooling cycle again. At this time, the fighter cluster could finally act unscrupulously!
Without the Destruction Matrix that could erode through the outer shell of a fighter jet in 10 minutes, the Galactic Republic fighter jets were finally able to play their role. They rushed over like locusts, fought fiercely with the Separatists fighter jets taking off, and launched all the Proton Torpedos they carried.
Admiral Kurny was on one of the Commander II-class Dreadnoughts, watching the battle coldly.
He would not think that he had the advantage, because from the beginning of the battle to the present, they had paid so much loss, and the other party, let alone Xuanwu, even those Kohl-class Battlecruiser protected by the Xuanwu group shield, had not suffered much damage.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and only seven Kohl-classs suffered varying degrees of damage. They were retreating toward the rear of the array and receiving repairs from Star-class Repair Drone Motherships.
According to Republic Supreme Strategic Command's research, there are only two ways to defeat Xuanwu Titan warship - the first way is to use a large number of high-speed warships to fight in a roundabout way, bypassing the coverage of Xuanwu, and striking other parts of the battlefield. The second way is to use superior forces or other super battleships to cause irreversible damage to Xuanwu and its battle group in a short period of time, and then win the battle in one fell swoop.
It can be said that if the victory cannot be established an hour after the battle begins, then the result will only get worse if the battle continues.
It is a pity that due to the poor hyperspace channel conditions between Naboo and Enarc, Admiral Kurny can only adopt such refueling tactics to fight against Xuanwu.
As for super battleships like Xuanwu, what they like most is the opponent's refueling tactics.
In fact, many times, Commander himself knows the disadvantages of refueling tactics, but sometimes he still has to use them. Many of these are caused by objective reasons such as logistical supplies.
For example, Admiral Kurny is very helpless now. The development of the war situation is actually exactly as he expected. He simply couldn't concentrate his superior forces to besiege Xuanwu, so he could only use fuel tactics to attack. In this way, he couldn't even hurt Xuanwu's hair.
"Continue to attack Xuanwu! Don't let it have the opportunity to reinforce Enarc! Other warships, continue to bomb Trade Federation's spaceport and planet Planetary Shield!" Admiral Kurny continued to order, "Notify General Kabayo to temporarily retreat and rest!"
"Yes!"
New forces joined in, and General Kabayo's task force was finally able to retreat after paying a heavy price to serve as human shields. Republic fleet began to redeploy with two Commander II-class Dreadnought as the core and continued to fight Xuanwu.
"Is Lot Dude okay yet?" Admiral Kurny has always maintained communication with Governor Lynch Hauser.
"He said that the management staff at Enarc have been shaken. As long as we put some more pressure on them, he can make them surrender naturally." Lynch Hauser also looked nervous.
Kurny nodded, turned around and said loudly, "Notify Enarc with a clear message! Put down your weapons immediately, lower Planetary Shield, and declare neutrality! We will guarantee to abide by the principle of neutrality and not conduct any military operations against Enarc! Otherwise, our fleet will rather perish with the planet!"
"Yes!" The communication soldier immediately sent out a communication.
But Enarc never responded.
"Lot Dude said that the pressure we put on is not enough! Enarc still thinks that Xuanwu can protect them." Lynch Hauser said, "There is no other way, just go to the end!"
Kurny nodded gloomily.
The two Commander II-class Dreadnought began to turn around, flying towards Enarc under the firepower of Xuanwu Titan warship, and the powerful main gun no longer attacked Xuanwu, but turned its muzzle and began to bombard Enarc!
During this process, Xuanwu and its battle group could not just watch from the sidelines. They poured out their most powerful firepower!
boom! boom! boom!! Commander II-class's main gun bombarded Planetary Shield, causing an extremely strong ripple.
The Planetary Shield equipped on Enarc is not a very high-power one. It is mainly used to defend against pirates. Under the attack of two dreadnoughts, it was overwhelmed.
boom! boom! boom!! Lasers and missiles continued to fall on the battleship, causing dull explosions and violent vibrations. Admiral Kurny stared at the projection of the holographic star map and said through gritted teeth, "This should be enough!"
"General! There is communication access again from the Enarc direction!" the communication soldier said loudly.
Admiral Kurny felt that the big stone in his heart finally fell, and he quickly said, "Take it over!"
Neimoidian wearing a high hat appeared again in the holographic projection. He put his hands on his chest in Neimoidian's unique posture, looking extremely cowardly.
"I am the supervisor of Enarc..." Neimoidian looked horrified, "I am communicating again, I am sincerely afraid, I want to say... say..."
The expression on his face suddenly became strange, revealing a sarcastic sneer, "Enarc, how could you compromise with a group of dying people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill scream suddenly came from the radar department, "General!! A short-distance hyperspace jump in the galaxy has been detected!"
