2633.Bilbrin Outpost Battle (six)
Seeing his own fighter formation being slaughtered, Galactic Empire Admiral Horst-Strege's face turned livid. He stared at the holographic combat star map and gritted his teeth.
The performance of those advanced fighter jets made his eyes jump, especially the heavy fighter jets, which were even more terrifying! That kind of heavy fighter is more than 20 meters long, which is much larger than almost all Galactic Empire fighters currently in service. And its size does not weaken its maneuverability. In fact, the maneuverability and instantaneous acceleration performance of this fighter are so incredible that even in a one-on-one dog fight, Galactic Empire and TIE Advanced fighter have no chance.
General Strege has been determined from the Intelligence Department door that this fighter is the YSS-1000 Sabre-class fighter of Kingdom of Dawn. This kind of fighter has been installed in Kingdom of Dawn Navy for some time, and has also received great attention from the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, but it has never been able to obtain specific combat performance.
But now, he knew. And in such a tragic way!
Ever since those two giant ships, which should be aircraft carriers, entered the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield has changed.
First, his own fighter formation was massacred, and he had to send anti-aircraft warships to intercept the opponent's fighter formation. In this way, the Kingdom of Dawn battleship can concentrate its firepower and shields on the front of the battleship without being harassed by fighter jets, strengthening its ability to engage in frontal combat.
And the fighter formation of Kingdom of Dawn suffered almost no losses, and they were flying in the direction of Imperial fleet. Soon there will be a battle with the second batch of fighter formations the Empire, as well as the defense line formed by those anti-aircraft warships.
But the outcome of this battle was not promising at all for Strege.
He gave a complete report of the battle situation here to Northern Territory First Fleet, which is Northern Military Commander Gillard-Perine.
At the same time, Strege also discovered that with the continuous arrival of reinforcements, Kingdom of Dawn's Archangel Titan warship had also recovered. Now that Archangel Titan warship and Deflector Shield have completed the cooling cycle for at least 10 minutes, I am afraid that the shield capacitance has also recovered a lot.
In other words, he has lost his best chance to hit Archangel Titan warship hard.
The chance of victory is gone, General Strege must start thinking about the timing of retreat. However, before retreating, he still hoped to take advantage of his absolute strength advantage to cause Kingdom of Dawn fleet to suffer as many losses as possible.
In fact, since the battle started now, Kingdom of Dawn fleet has suffered very serious losses because it has always been under siege. At present, 10 capital ships and more than 30 Heavy Cruiser have been destroyed or severely damaged and have lost their combat capabilities. Even the two Divinity-class battleship that were first reinforced have been sunk and one was seriously damaged.
The two battleships were besieged by hundreds of Imperial-class Star Destroyers and retreated after their overloaded engine combat devices lost effectiveness due to overheating.
This is the first time Galactic Empire has confirmed the destruction of Divinity-class battleship on the frontal battlefield!
However, with the desperate support of these warships, more and more Kingdom of Dawn warships have joined the battlefield. It can be seen that this time they are very determined to completely capture the Bilbrin Planet fortress!
And Horst-General Strege is very sure. Judging from the current strategic situation, once Bilbrin Planet is captured, it will be impossible for the Galactic Empire to take it back as easily as before!
This failure will mean the complete fall of Bilbrin Planet. The passage from Kingdom of Dawn main fleet to Imperial Core Worlds from Northern Territory will be completely open.
Kingdom of Dawn fleet Now supporting the battlefield are the two Divinity-class battleship that arrived later.
And reinforcements are still arriving in a steady stream, followed by 20 Hell-Angel Class Battlecruiser and 2 Consul-class aircraft carrier.
After Consul-class aircraft carrier arrived on the battlefield, tens of thousands of Swarm II interception drones were immediately released. At present, this dark cloud composed of countless drones is still on the way forward and has not joined the battle group for the time being.
It is conceivable that when these drones break into the battlefield, they will further disperse the firepower of our own fleet, giving Kingdom of Dawn more opportunities to guide more fleets to arrive!
And some new frigates that were completely black and looked extremely ferocious began to be put into the battlefield.
The number of this new type of frigate is constantly increasing and has now reached 150. It seems that the preliminary formation has been completed and is ready to move!
Horst-General Strege waited anxiously, and soon the reply from General Gillard-Perine arrived.
According to this message, General Strege finally understood that Galactic Empire and Kingdom of Dawn were currently fighting in three directions on the battlefield of Northern Territory!
In addition to the main force of Kingdom of Dawn, which is attacking Bilbrin Planet, their other fleet is raiding Dantooine northward. Gillard-Perine also responded, sending more than 100 capital ships to reinforce Dantooine. The two sides were exchanging fierce fire outside the planet.
And because Dantooine is too far away, neither side has invested a large fleet. Correspondingly, a fierce land battle is breaking out on the surface of Dantooine.
Kingdom of Dawn has forcibly landed on Dantooine. According to current estimates, at least 100,000 army soldiers have boarded Dantooine. They have established at least three landing sites, located at three military bases on Dantooine and Galactic Empire.
More Army troops are also on their way.
And Galactic Empire was not polite, sending 5 Acclamator-class assault ship as the core, and assembled an army of 800,000 in advance to prepare to reinforce Dantooine! Tens of thousands of transport ships have been assembled and are just waiting to set off!
On the other side is the direction of the planet Oud-Mantel. Kingdom of Dawn has also assembled a huge fleet here, and it seems that he plans to take the initiative to attack Ithor Planet, threatening the administrative center of Galactic Empire's Northern Territory, the planet Palin-Minor.
But when Battle of Bilbrin Planet broke out, Gillard-Perine decided to take the initiative, and the army passed through Ithor Planet and headed straight for the planet Oud-Mantel.
At present, the fleet formations of both sides are still gradually unfolding, and long-range firefights are ongoing.
Admirals Gillard-Perine identified the opponent's two Titan warships as Bilbrin Planet, and felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he launched a resolute attack.
The Northern Territory First Fleet in his hands includes 700 capital ships and 5,000 small and medium-sized warships. The strength is quite strong. This time they are all ready to take down the planet Oud-Mantel in one fell swoop, directly threatening the sides and rear of Kingdom of Dawn main fleet.
However, because the scale of this fleet is too large, it cannot all pass through the hyperspace channel from Ithor Planet to the planet Ord-Mantel at once. Therefore, while sending the forward fleet to attack, he is also waiting for the arrival of the follow-up fleet.
The defense force deployed by Kingdom of Dawn on the Oud-Mantel planet is also very powerful. Not only has a Agonev-class star base been built on the periphery of the planet, but there is also a powerful force including 150 battleships, 200 Heavy Cruisers, and 2,000 small and medium-sized warships, ready for battle.
And there are 40 Paladin-class battlecruiser and 30 Calamity-class battlecruiser inside, which are deployed next to Agonev-class star base, using Particle Beam Lance to fire wildly.
Therefore, although the battle on the Oud-Mantle planet has not yet completely started, the long-range bombardment from both sides has begun, and it is obvious that Galactic Empire's fleet is not dominant.
This is destined to be another brutal battle.
Among the instructions sent to Horst-General Strege on Gillard-Perine, General Strege is clearly required to delay as much time as possible on Bilbrin Planet. Otherwise, once the Bilbrin Planet is lost and the two Titan warships of the Kingdom of Dawn turn around and head for the planet Oud-Mantle, the consequences will be disastrous!
After weighing the situation of the battle, Horst-Strege made a decision. He reorganized his main fleet and no longer adopted a reckless offensive posture, but began to deploy back-ups.
He began to withdraw some of the injured battleships, and some Deflector Shield seriously worn battleships were also retreating. These battleships would build a second line of defense behind his first row of battle lines. At the same time, ask Bilbrin Planet to immediately dispatch a transport fleet to repair and supply the warships on the second line of defense.
With this kind of deployment, he planned to wait until the first row of warships were severely depleted and retreat one by one to behind the second line of defense.
In this way, Kingdom of Dawn warships are continuously consumed, and their own strength is preserved as much as possible. Prepare to return the battle line to the armed asteroids on the outer edge of the planet and completely switch to defense.
At this time, Horst-General Strege received a report - [It has been detected that the enemy Titan warship main gun is charging!]
He was suddenly shocked and quickly ordered, "Call the entire army! Pay attention to the enemy's Titan warship main gun! This ship speeds up and retreats!"
At this moment, Archangel Titan warship, six energy focusing devices have been deployed on the huge disc-shaped structure, and six terrifying energies visible to the naked eye begin to gather in the center. A ball of energy condensed to a terrifying level is constantly gathering!
Such a terrifying scene made almost every Galactic Empire warship present terrified.
Everyone knows the power of the terrifying main gun Archangel Titan warship, but Imperial-class Star Destroyer can't even hold it for 0.1 seconds!
Suddenly, the originally neat formation began to become scattered, and some warships decided to fight to the death. They fired wildly, trying to interrupt the design of the Titan warship main gun in the end. But more Imperial-class Star Destroyer captains gave orders to retreat, and they ignored the formation and began to flee.
Faced with such chaos, Horst-Strege had no choice at all - because his own flagship was also escaping!
In fact, he has no other idea now, only one - wait until the opponent's main gun is fired, and if he is still alive, then seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack!
Such a plan made him feel extremely ashamed when he came back to his senses! How can we continue after a battle reaches such a useless level?!
Fortunately, I heard that Cutting-Edge Technology Alliance in the rear is already preparing to come up with a plan to deal with the terrifying main gun of Kingdom of Dawn Titan warship, but it will only take about a month.
In this way, maybe he is the last victim of Archangel-class Titan Warship? Horst Admiral thought bitterly.
At this time, Doomsday Weapon has completed charging!
Almost everyone saw a ray of light comparable to a star suddenly light up. After a brief period of blindness, they discovered to their horror that Doomsday Weapon... had split!
The energy condensed in front of Archangel-class Titan Warship was instantly excited. However, it did not converge into a huge beam of light. Instead, it split into dozens of small beams of light immediately after being launched, which directly illuminated the array of Galactic Empire fleet!
Archangel Titan warship's goal is not himself! Horst-General Strege secretly felt lucky in his heart, but when he saw the situation on the battlefield, he was filled with extreme panic!
Because the split Doomsday Weapon beam directly hit dozens of capital ships! At this time, most of the dozens of capital ships had begun to catch fire and explode, and only a few escaped!
There were bursts of explosions on the Imperial-class Star Destroyer ships that were hit, and flames continued to spurt out from the gaps in the outer armor. Visible to the naked eye, where the battleships were illuminated, a large hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters was melted!
A violent explosion began to explode from the big hole, and then spread throughout the battleship. Then, the battleship was blown into several burning pieces!
There was a lot of noise in the communication, including screams, exclamations, roars, and even tears.
The power of Doomsday Weapon is so terrifying!
General Strege gritted his teeth to calm down his trembling lips, and then shouted angrily into the communicator, "The task force will be dispatched immediately! Give me a concentrated fire attack! Now is the time when their Titan warship is most vulnerable!"
[Come up to me! At any cost, sink Titan warship for me!!]General Strege's roar sounded in the communication system of every Imperial fleet warship.
Imperial fleet also responded immediately.
They are no longer the new recruits in Clone Wars who didn't know what war was. Now Galactic Empire's navy is also an elite force that has gone through more than ten years of war.
According to the prior plan, a high-speed formation consisting of all Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, 160 Aquitenes-class light cruiser, 100 Kallak-class fast light cruiser, and 200 Vigil-class corvette quickly assembled and launched a desperate charge against Archangel Titan warship!
General Strege began to prepare to reorganize the fleet, but at this moment he was horrified to find that with the destruction of about 29 Imperial-class Star Destroyer just now, a huge gap appeared in the formation of Imperial fleet.
And his flagship is in this gap!
