2630, Bilbrin Outpost Battle (3)
At this moment, on the battlefield of Bilbrin Planet, the battle entered its most intense state almost from the beginning!
In order to take advantage of Kingdom of Dawn's follow-up fleet to come under the guidance of Hyperspace Beacon of Archangel Titan warship, the Empire Fleet Commander Horst-General Strege directly used all his strength to launch a general attack!
After the first round of bombardment, he immediately ordered the fighter formations to take off. Among the densely packed Turbolaser cannons, a large number of TIE Advanced fighter took off from Pursuer-class aircraft carrier and the armed space station hangar, covering the rapid approach of TIE bomber.
Archangel Titan warship, the situation over there is already very critical! The dense firepower of hundreds of capital ships plus more than 2,000 small and medium-sized warships was like raindrops, already overwhelming Archangel Titan warship, and there were also the continuous bombardments of thousands of armed asteroids in this direction.
If the fighter formation is allowed to approach again, the consequences will be disastrous!
At this time, the first arriving the Empire fighter formation had begun to fire. TIE Advanced fighter didn't hesitate at all and launched a fierce bombardment with blaster cannons as soon as it entered the range. At the same time, the fighter formation began to circle toward the rear of Titan warship.
And more than a dozen TIE bomber are hidden in the fighter formation, waiting for opportunities.
The first batch of warships that followed Archangel Titan warship also deployed all their close-in defense artillery fire to intercept incoming missiles and drive away the fighter formations.
However, the formation of the Empire fighter jets that were generally replaced with TIE Advanced fighter was not an easy task. They operated the fighter jets to pass by the extremely huge hull of Archangel Titan warship. There were six groups of Flagship-class laser array on the left and right sides of Emissary. Even if they switched to rapid fire mode, they could not handle this level of saturation attack.
A formation of TIE Advanced fighter flew at full speed, and the X-ray emitted by the laser arrays on both sides of Emissary also flashed continuously. Every time it flashed, a fighter jet instantly turned into a fireball. But the remaining fighter jets continued to advance rapidly. In order to avoid the attack of anti-aircraft fire, they even ventured close to Titan warship and passed by the battleship less than 200 meters away!
However, at the rear of the formation, the 15 Kohl II-class Heavy Cruiser also turned on the overload mode, and the anti-aircraft firepower was extremely strengthened. Countless 20mm caliber needles accelerated by Hypermatter came like a heavy rain.
Faced with intensive firepower, the the Empire fighter formation was under great pressure. After losing more than twenty fighter jets, it had to fire all the missiles and torpedoes it carried.
TIE bomber in the formation fired hundreds of Proton Torpedo at once. These torpedoes were launched from a position extremely close to Archangel Titan warship, and were basically in the blind zone of Titan warship's shooting angle. They could only rely on other warships to intercept them.
But faced with such a large number of missiles launched at such a close range, the Kohl II-class Heavy Cruiser next to them had no time to intercept them.
Dozens of light blue proton clouds exploded on Emissary and Deflector Shield, followed by a large number of explosions on the main armor belt of the battleship. A bolt of electricity flashed across the armor that was attacked. The place bombed by Proton Torpedo was just scorched black, but it did not cause much damage.
This is what is really scary about the Bilbrin Planet defense line, because the hyperspace environment of this star field is very complex. Only a small number of warships can enter at a time, and often when warships come, they cannot resupply, and when they come, there will be fewer replenishment warships. However, Galactic Empire, which has mastered several secret waterways, has much more convenient navigation conditions.
Here, it is equivalent to the bottleneck of an hourglass. Although from the plane star map, it is not far from the Milky Way Galaxy Core Worlds, or even from the Imperial-class capital Coruscant. But in fact, as long as this bottleneck is held, it is impossible for foreign enemies to threaten Core Worlds of the Galactic Empire from this direction.
In the last Northern Territory Campaign, Bilbrin Planet first fell due to lack of troops, and later it was due to Lieutenant General Thrawn's voluntary abandonment. But even so, in the subsequent battles, Kingdom of Dawn also proved to be difficult to occupy here for a long time, and in the end he could only be snatched back by the Galactic Empire.
Now, it is obviously impossible for the Galactic Empire to make the same mistake as last time. Not only have a large number of troops been assembled in Bilbrin Planet, but the fleet is also commanded by battle-hardened veterans - Admiral of the Navy, Horst-Strege!
Now, what Kingdom of Dawn's Northern Fleet has to do is to seize this traffic chokepoint again. And - build a star gate!
As long as the star gate is completed, the bottleneck of Bilbrin Planet will no longer exist, and this will become a broad road to attack Core Worlds!
Emissary is already struggling to hold on, and no matter how powerful Titan warship is, it is almost impossible to do so in the face of attacks from up to 400 capital ships. In fact, there are currently only 100 capital ships participating in the battle, and the remaining capital ships have not yet been able to form their formations.
Moreover, the effect of Archangel Titan warship's extremely powerful Phenomenon Generator also weakened the the Empire battleship. Their speed, fire rate, and power were all declining, and they were simply unable to concentrate all their firepower for an attack.
Even so, if it continues, Emissary will not be able to sustain it for too long!
However, with the unfolding of Hyperspace Beacon, through guidance, the first reinforcements crossed the already unnavigable hyperspace channel and arrived at the battlefield!
Ankollon-class Titan warship——Taowu!
When the huge Sichuan-shaped hull of Taowu appears in space, it means that the situation will be stabilized.
"Hold, Hyperspace Beacon. Taowu, move forward. Turn on, Fleet Shield. Tut, tsk, tsk, tsk..." In the bridge command center of Archangel Titan warship, General Trench slapped his palms with a pointer while commanding the battle calmly.
Boom~~~~A muffled sound came, this sound was very close. Then came the second and third times, and even the ground on the bridge trembled slightly.
"General! This ship is under attack by Proton Torpedo!" an officer said loudly.
"Deflector Shield has been defeated! It needs to be recirculated!" The shield department also immediately sent a report.
General Trench, however, directly tapped the adjutant on the shoulder with his pointer and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... hold on, formation. The ship turns to left rudder: X, 17, Z, -12."
"Yes!" the adjutant said loudly, "This ship is turning, left rudder X axis 17, Z axis -12!"
At the same time, Taowu also turned on Fleet Shield. A light green light suddenly enveloped all the surrounding friendly warships, covering the outer layer of Deflector Shield, which was already in a light blue overcharge state under the influence of Phenomenon Generator.
This is equivalent to an extra layer of shield!
A light green shield suddenly appeared around Archangel Titan warship, blocking all the Proton Torpedo launched by the TIE bomber formation!
