1761.Battle of Faida (2)
[Battle of Faida's prelude starts from Chapter 1580 to Chapter 1595.]
"No! It's an ambush!" Dark Jedi Knight shouted, while waving Lightsaber to deflect more than a dozen plasma cannonballs fired at him.
In fact, there was no need for him to remind him, the densely packed plasma clusters surrounding him had already explained everything!
"Hurry and take cover!!" Clone Commander shouted, and at the same time he pushed a militiaman aside, helping him avoid a fatal blow.
Clone Trooper's actions and reactions were all first-class. At this moment, they judged the direction of the enemy's attack and the surrounding terrain conditions, and they immediately entered the bunker. Even if the only temporary bunker they can find may be just a small piece of Rock or a broken wall, it is enough for them to withstand the first wave of attacks before they make further reactions.
But those militiamen and gang members did not react like this. The moment the ambush appeared, they subconsciously opened fire everywhere, but were immediately knocked down by Geth's intensive firepower.
There were a few lucky guys whose first reaction was to lie on the ground, but they didn't survive much longer. Corpse Puppet rushed over from all directions and let out a hoarse cry, grabbing them from the ground with their dry claws and tearing them in half!
Dark Jedi Knight was already wielding the blood-red double-headed Lightsaber and fought with the ambush of Geth. He was extremely powerful. At this moment, under the anger of being ambushed, Dark Side Force surged even more. The double-headed Lightsaber flew quickly, like a blood-red windmill, constantly harvesting all the approaching Geth and Corpse Puppet.
Suddenly, boom! boom! boom!! Several rockets exploded around him. Although he dodged to the side in advance, he was still staggered by the shock wave of the explosion. At this moment, several huge Geth elites that were over three meters tall and covered in red rushed over. They fired at Dark Jedi Knight while they were shooting.
Dark Jedi Knight was already blocked by a large number of Geth soldiers. He slashed at them with his backhand sword, but with the power of Lightsaber, he was unable to break Geth elite's shield! At this moment, Geth elite had rushed forward, blocking his Lightsaber with all his might, and then fired wildly at an extremely close distance!
Geth elite's body is very large, and his height of three meters is almost as oppressive as a hill! Dark Jedi Knight, who was completely helpless under their advance, could only give up his Lightsaber, and jumped several meters high to try to distance himself. But Geth can no longer give him another chance!
Several Geth elite raised the special plasma rifles in their hands and fired wildly. The plasma balls they fired exploded directly in the air! The current generated by the explosion of dozens of plasma clusters immediately surrounded Dark Jedi Knight, and a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure energy continuously impacted his body.
"Wahhhhhhh!!" Dark Jedi Knight screamed loudly. He was caught in mid-air by one of the Geth elites, and fell hard from the mid-air with a thud. His whole body was charred, and he had no strength to resist except struggling.
But Geth did not kill him, but directly grabbed him and dragged him towards the rear.
"Wow! Let me go! Let me go ahhhhhhh!!!" Dark Jedi Knight let out a desperate scream, but to no avail. He was dragged towards the depths of darkness by Geth, and his screams became smaller and smaller until nothing could be heard.
The remaining Clone Trooper, militias, mercenaries, and gang members were also submerged by the same tide of Geth and Corpse Puppet.
Bang!! The table in the command center was punched hard and cracked.
"I feel... I feel it! Kriget!" A Weequay, wearing a black tight-fitting combat uniform with countless ferocious war patterns painted on his body, said loudly with an ugly face, "His the Force is wailing... in pain... Ah!! Ah!!!"
He made a sound that he didn't know whether it was sadness or relief, and tore the tights on his chest hard, tearing the clothes directly, revealing his muscular chest with a ferocious beast tattooed on it.
"Is he dead?" Another human, also wearing a tight-fitting black combat uniform, asked through gritted teeth, "I can no longer sense his the Force."
"No! He's not dead! He's being tortured! Hahahahaha! Torture!! His pain... I feel it! His pain!" Weequay laughed and roared at one time, but under the influence of that negative emotion, his Dark Side Force was becoming more and more powerful and out of control.
"Take him down to meditate." The human Dark Jedi Knight waved his hand.
The other two Dark Jedi Knights next to him immediately stepped forward and took the almost out-of-control Weequay away.
"Kriget is an idiot! He fell into a trap set by a group of robots!" said the human Dark Jedi Knight. "If we continue like this, we may not be able to defend Faida Planet! Gillard-General Perine, what other plans do you have?"
Sitting at the top of the command center is a young man wearing a gray navy uniform. The badge on his chest shows that his current military rank is lieutenant general, but his age looks like he is only in his twenties.
However, although he is young, his expression is very determined at this moment, and his chin, which has not been taken care of for two or three days, is already covered with stubble. What's even more surprising is that for such a person, the three Dark Jedi Knight who are sitting in front of him with obviously higher status still want to ask him about his plan.
He is Gillard-Perine!
In the extermination battle between Northern Galaxy and Geth, a bright star is rising!
Six months ago, he was keenly aware of Geth's possible ambitions for Faida Planet and the rear Kotaris Planet, and withstood the huge pressure, he got 300,000 Kaminoan clone troopers and more than 40 Hunter Class Battlecruiser from Wilhuff-Tarkin to go to reinforcements.
This support force was led by Republic Navy Admiral Wullf-Yularen, and Wullf-Yularen fully trusted Gillard-Perine and safely handed over the ground troops to his command, while he himself commanded the fleet to resist the invasion of Geth fleet.
At the same time, Gillard-Perine, who was still a colonel at the time, also saw through that Geth was using a super-light speed navigation method that was very slow compared to the hyperspace channel. The plan to launch a sneak attack directly on Kotaris Planet and other places behind Faida Planet while using the hyperspace channel requires Ninth Army's general Lieutenant General Henderson to build a rear defense line.
What happened next also proved the forward-looking and correctness of his judgment.
As expected, Geth suddenly invested a huge force in attacking Faida Planet, and an extremely large number of Corpse Puppet also participated in the battle.
And the Corpse Puppet participating in the war are not just ordinary Corpse Puppet, there are also a large number of Corpse Puppet transformed from the corpse of Yamrii! These Corpse Puppet are huge in size, inheriting Yamrii's mantis-like body and sharp scythes in its hands, coupled with wings that can fly short distances, making these Corpse Puppet a huge threat on the battlefield.
The sudden attack caused huge losses to the defenders on Faida Planet, but reinforcements from Gillard-Perine arrived in time and rebuilt a solid defense line at Faida planet's capital, Chynesti City.
In order to defend the defense line dominated by Chynesti City, Gillard-Perine requires the entire Faida Planet to enter a state of full mobilization, mobilizing almost everyone who can move and shoot, distribute weapons, conduct basic training, and then serve as an army to resist Geth.
At first, his recruitment order met with fierce opposition. The major gangs, mercenary groups, and smuggler teams that were originally very active on Faida Planet rose up to resist. But Gillard-Colonel Peren immediately suppressed it with an iron fist.
But soon, when Geth launched another attack, those who originally opposed the recruitment order had to admit that only in this way could they avoid being killed by Geth, or even become Corpse Puppet.
As a result, Gillard-Perine's military orders were implemented more smoothly. He carefully deployed a defense line spanning more than ten cities, including Chynesti City and Defa City. With 300,000 Kaminoan clone troopers as the core and the first batch of 1.4 million ordinary soldiers composed of relatively high-quality gang members, smugglers, and mercenaries recruited as cover, they resolutely resisted Geth's attack.
And speed up the recruitment work in the rear, and let all recruited soldiers undergo emergency training so that they have at least basic combat capabilities.
This move allowed him to finally withstand Geth's tidal attack.
Not only that, on the space battlefield, Republic fleet led by Wullf-Yularen also suppressed Geth fleet after launching several active attacks. Under the intensive attack of dozens of Hunter Class Battlecruiser and tens of thousands of fighter jets, Geth fleet was finally defeated, and could only rely on its excellent maneuverability to continuously harass.
In the rear, Ninth Army general Lieutenant General Henderson, after seeking the approval of the governor Dunn-Vesex, also mobilized a large number of manpower, material and financial resources to deploy a rear warning line in the direction of Kotaris Planet and Genios Planet.
The warning line does not have a strong force, but it does have a large number of reconnaissance outposts and a fast fleet composed of 80 Kallak-class light cruiser and Aquitenes-class light cruiser.
The fast fleet conducts high-intensity patrols within the warning line day and night to ensure that these planets will not be attacked by Geth.
This move has also proven to be effective.
The fast fleet soon discovered several Geth small fleets that did not pass through the hyperspace channel, but sailed directly to the rear planet through super-light speed.
These Geth fleet are not large in scale. They are composed of some transport ships and some frigates. It was obvious that they were planning to sneak past the heavily fortified Faida Planet and sneak to the rear to carry out sabotage.
Once they succeed, after these small groups of Geth fleet release Geth unit, these Geth may attack some remote villages, and then kill all the residents of these villages to make Corpse Puppet. They can even secretly dig up some recently deceased corpses and even some powerful local creatures to create alien Corpse Puppet!
This gradually snowballs, and maybe later, when hundreds of thousands or millions of Corpse Puppet appear, the planetary authorities will discover it!
When that day comes, the way back is cut off, and the defenders of Faida Planet can only fall into the desperate situation of fighting alone! Once Faida Planet is lost, Geth will be able to directly threaten Kotaris Planet, one of Northern Territory's important transportation locations, through the hyperspace channel!
Fortunately, none of this happened. After the fast fleet annihilated several Geth's sneak attack fleets, Geth's actions became cautious. But at the same time, it also stepped up its offensive against Faida Planet!
It can be seen that this time Geth is really planning to make a decisive attack in the direction of Faida Planet!
Gillard-Colonel Peren used all his talents in such a battle of extermination. He carefully designed the defense line and the deployment of each unit was carefully considered, not only meticulously but also with an eye on the overall situation.
The defense line he built was flexible and elastic, making full use of the depth of the battlefield and his own firepower advantage. Continuously deliberately retreated some fronts to create a battlefield protrusion for Geth army, and then concentrated superior firepower to bombard this protrusion indiscriminately.
At the same time, he formulated a set of multi-level, diversified and flexible fire support rules from fighter formations to bomber formations to battleships Orbital Bombardment, and delegated the authority to call for long-range fire strikes to each Clone Trooper. Then, based on all battlefield feedback, arrangements are made step by step to carry out targeted long-range firepower reinforcements.
Although every time the front line changes, a large number of militiamen who cannot keep up with the rhythm will die in battle, but this strategy maximizes its own advantages, allowing Geth's almost unstoppable footsteps to finally hit the iron wall and stop!
Gillard-Perine lasted almost a year!
From Galactic Republic to the Galactic Empire.
Up to now, he has been promoted from Colonel Galactic Republic to Lieutenant General Galactic Empire!
During this period of time, Geth's attacks almost never stopped, and Geth also sent several fleet reinforcements in the middle, breaking through the Wullf-Admiral Yularen defense line and bringing more Geth unit.
And more Geth killed more civilians on the battlefield and in the rear, creating more Corpse Puppet to join the war. After escaping to death in the civilian villages they could attack, they hunted a large number of ferocious animals and made them into mutant Corpse Puppet to join the war.
This makes Geth's offensive almost endless!
And Gillard-Perine also grew up at an astonishing speed during this process. From the young recruit in the past, he has become a stable and composed young star of the generation now!
His marching formation has become more organized, and with the 400,000 Kaminoan clone troopers sent from the rear, and the addition of more than 15 million ordinary soldiers who have been recruited and trained to fight on the front line, his defense line has become more stable!
