2682. You have crossed the line.
At the same time, the Orman-Tagge fleet commanded by Rear Admiral Dolla had begun to launch the most powerful offensive against Druckenwell planet.
Rear Admiral Dolla has noticed that Silas-Tagge trapped here no longer has any trump cards. The fleet now assembled on the periphery of the planet, relying on those armed space stations for defense, is already the entire strength of Silas-Tagge.
Most of those armed space stations were built during the Clone Wars and Confederacy of Independent Systems periods, and they are completely outdated products. For example, most of the Turbolaser cannons installed on the space station are junk with high energy consumption, low power, and short range.
Therefore, even if they rely on armed space stations to defend, the opponent can only delay it for a little longer.
After thinking for a long time, Admiral Dolas issued an order. He ordered part of his fleet to be separated and began to bomb Planetary Shield of Druckenwell planet. He planned to test the other party's reaction.
According to the information provided by Orman-Tagge, Silas-Tagge is a timid and cowardly guy who would never dare to conflict with anyone head-on. Therefore, Dolas planned to stimulate him and see if he would have any overreaction.
Sure enough, after Druckenwell planet's Planetary Shield took several rounds of salvo fire, the defenders' warships became obviously anxious. Those Munificent-class communications frigates began to press forward, probably preparing to take the initiative to attack the warships that were bombing the planet.
If that's the case, that would be great.
Rear Admiral Dolla looked at the holographic combat star map coldly. If there was anything about this defender that he feared the most, it would be the long-range heavy artillery of the opponent's warship.
The two super-heavy Turbolaser cannons of Munificent-class communications frigate are fixed in front of the battleship. This is considered a prototype of the axis-based cannon and is very powerful. Defiant-class light destroyer is also famous for its powerful long-range firepower, which is the only advantage of these warships.
During the Clone Wars period, these two warships often hid behind the heavy armored battleships Kohl-class and Divine-class for long-range support.
I have to say that it would still be very painful if the main guns of these two warships fired a few shots. In any case, our own warships are also very backward.
After seeing the defending warships begin to press forward, Rear Admiral Dolla decisively issued an order, "Fighter preparation formation, dispatch immediately!! Kill the opponent's capital ship first!"
I only saw that they had already taken off from Hunter Class Battlecruiser, but they did not immediately go into battle. It was just that the second wave of fighter formations hiding in the center of the own fleet array suddenly began to accelerate!
These fighter jets began to accelerate diagonally under the cover of their own warships, trying to avoid the opponent's long-range artillery fire as much as possible. After accelerating tens of thousands of kilometers, the fighter formation suddenly turned sharply, speeding faster and faster, and pounced towards those Generous-class frigate!
It is not without reason that a battleship like Generous-class frigate, which is 825 meters long, was classified as a frigate during the Galactic Republic period. This kind of battleship has a small number of turrets and insufficient fire coverage angles. Although it is equipped with heavy armor, the coverage area of the heavy armor is also not enough!
To use a vivid metaphor to describe the strange main armor belt layout of Generous-class frigate, it is that this battleship has an umbrella. There is only a heavy armor shell that blocks the most important parts, but other parts are completely exposed.
Fighter formations like this target the most!
As long as these Generous-class are killed, the entire army will attack immediately! If nothing unexpected happens, Druckenwell planet will have no choice but to surrender Planetary Shield within today.
However, at this moment, an official from the hyperspace detector department suddenly shouted, "General! Unknown hyperspace fluctuations have been detected! The location is in this galaxy Planet Three!"
"Ambush?" Rear Admiral Dolla smiled coldly, "We want to sneak attack on the fragile Hunter Class Battlecruiser. It seems that the opponent is also a veteran who participated in Clone Wars. Around us, the opponent must have pre-set Hyperspace Beacon, so that he can enter the battlefield through ultra-short-distance hyperspace jump at the first time. But it's a pity, you can imagine, can't I?"
He waved his hand and said, "Ignore it and let them come!"
"Yes!"
Sure enough, I saw more than 200 Light Cruiser suddenly appeared on the side of Planet Three! Mainly Kallak-class light cruiser. This kind of Light Cruiser, one of the main force in the Galactic Republic period, has a very large output and is famous for its extremely fast speed and strong maneuverability.
There are now a large number of Karrak-class in the fleets of both warring parties.
It is only seen that these Kallak-class light cruiser have obviously completed the navigation calculations for ultra-short-distance hyperspace jumps. Near the battlefield, Cassio-Tagge have already arranged beacons in advance. Under the guidance of the beacons, these Light Cruiser quickly entered the hyperspace state.
Because the process of ultra-short distance jumping is still very complicated and risky, this jump took about ten minutes. After that, the fleet instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of millions of kilometers and arrived at a place 50,000 kilometers away from the main battlefield.
Immediately afterwards, this high-speed formation Sublight launched its engines at full speed and pounced towards the Hunter Class Battlecruiser formation!
Their speed was extremely fast, and they entered the outer defense circle of the main battlefield almost as soon as they appeared. Hunter Class Battlecruiser's radar system immediately captured the incoming fleet, and the weapon systems on the battlecruiser began to lock on to these high-speed approaching targets.
However, Hunter Class's main gun was only fully charged, but did not fire. Instead, it pointed coldly in this direction.
Suddenly, countless powerful explosions exploded in the direction of this high-speed cruiser formation! This explosion began to release powerful EMP waves around! The Kallak-class light cruiser formation, which was advancing at high speed, was caught off guard and was directly enveloped by this powerful EMP wave.
At the same time, Rear Admiral Dolla gave the order coldly, "Fire!"
The main guns of Hunter Class Battlecruiser opened fire one after another, covering the coverage area of the EMP wave with full firepower! Even for an outdated battleship, this level of fire coverage is still deadly!
A proud smile appeared on the corner of Rear Admiral Dolla's mouth, "What do you think I was doing when I wasted those few days after I arrived here? Twenty million electromagnetic air mines, you're welcome... If I'm to blame, just blame you Tagge family for being too rich."
The situation on the battlefield is already Decisive Kill!
Rear Admiral Dolla has determined his victory with his many years of combat experience.
The opponent Commander obviously planned to let Generous-class frigate press forward, lure the enemy deeper, and let his side send out the fighter formation guarding Hunter Class - after all, the most effective weapon against Generous-class is the fighter jet. Then after losing the fighter cover, he used a pre-ambushed formation of high-speed cruisers to raid Hunter Class.
If you are just a common man who only knows how to act recklessly, this crude plan will certainly succeed.
But the problem is...Rear Admiral Dolla stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth proudly, "I have been in the army for more than 40 years, what kind of storms have I not seen? If you want to deceive me with this trick, it is somewhat taken for granted."
However, just when he was about to reap this victory, the hyperspace sensing department sent another message, "General! Unknown hyperspace fluctuations have been detected!"
"What? Do they still have reinforcements?" Rear Admiral Dolla frowned and asked, "How big is it?"
"Large-scale fleet! The number exceeds 200! But judging from the fluctuation reaction, they should all be small and medium-sized warships... It is expected to make contact in 10 minutes!" the technician said.
"Ten minutes? Did the warning from the hyperspace outpost go to shit?" Rear Admiral Dolla cursed, but he still felt that the problem was not big. There were only 200 small and medium-sized warships, which was only equivalent to one-fifth of his own strength. So he continued, "Destroy this high-speed cruiser first! The main force formation will reorganize and recall the first wave of fighters."
In fact, his order actually contained two combat goals - because he did not recall the second wave of fighters that were attacking those Generous-class frigate. In other words, he still wants to eat these two targets at the same time before the opponent's reinforcements arrive.
However, in just ten minutes, the fleet of Rear Admiral Dolla cannot destroy the opponent's capital ship. The more than 200 Carrack-class fast cruiser are not more than 200 pigs. It will still take a long time to sink them.
At this moment, this mysterious fleet has left the hyperspace channel and appeared on the periphery of the battlefield!
And there is no doubt that they also used the Hyperspace Beacon deployed by the previous defenders!
The fleet's size, preliminary scanning data and optical images were captured by the battlefield peripheral detection device at the first opportunity and reported to General Dolla.
I only saw about 10 long spacecrafts in this fleet. These spacecrafts were about 800 meters in length. According to preliminary scans, no energy response from the weapon system was detected. They should be transport ships.
In addition, there are two models of Light Cruiser with a length of about 260~270 meters, and both are very unfamiliar shapes.
It can be seen from the optical images that these warships are equipped with structures that look like solar panels. But this doesn't make sense, because the solar panels are obviously unable to support the actions of a warship of this size. It seems that they should have other functions.
Just when General Dolla was confused, the fleet suddenly began to accelerate!
The speed of their Sublight engine increased instantly, which was almost fighter-level acceleration! Not only that, a large number of small spacecraft suddenly fell off those 10 transport ships!
Only then did General Dolla discover that those small spaceships were directly attached to these transport ships!
Those small spaceships were only more than 80 meters long and were small frigates. There were more than 300 of them detached from the transport ships. And similarly, the speed of these frigates is unimaginable!
With more than 300 frigates and more than 200 Light Cruiser, this force is significantly different from what was previously judged. However, for Dolas fleet, which has a total of 2,000 warships, it is still not enough to shake it.
"Fire at this fleet! Don't let them get close!" Rear Admiral Dolla always felt that something was wrong, and he immediately asked his main fleet to destroy these reinforcements.
The main fleet had already completed its formation reorganization and steering just now, and now it was targeting this mysterious fleet with full firepower! Countless laser beams and missiles were launched, and dense artillery fire covered the sky like rain!
However, most of the artillery fire failed!
The speed and flexibility of this mysterious fleet are so fast! The fire control systems of those old battleships from the Galactic Republic period among Dolas fleet cannot effectively lock and attack these battleships at all.
Because the maneuverability of these battleships is comparable to that of fighter jets!
The distance of more than 50,000 kilometers passed in an instant. This fleet had already approached the Rear Admiral Dolla fleet. This mysterious fleet finally showed its ferocious fangs!
Countless missiles and artillery fire swept over instantly, and the speed of these warships did not slow down, and they rushed directly into the formation of Dolas fleet!
"No! What kind of warship is this! Why is this happening!! Quick! Stop them! Fighter formations, dispatch immediately!" Rear Admiral Dolla suddenly felt something bad. The opponent's warship actually broke through the defense circle of his own fleet, turning the battle into a chaotic battle!
As we all know, whether it is the previous Galactic Republic or the current Galactic Empire, their warships are not suitable for such a melee.
But it wasn't over yet, something worse happened!
"General! A new fleet has been detected taking off from Druckenwell planet!! Confirmed to be Victory II-class Star Destroyer! The number is 40 ships!!" the soldier on the other side of the sensor announced loudly.
"What? This is impossible!! No matter how good they are at hiding, there is no way they can hide a Star Destroyer fleet on the planet!" Rear Admiral Dolla said loudly.
"I don't know how they did it. This fleet seems to have appeared out of thin air! But it is already moving towards us!" the soldier said loudly.
"General! The fighter formation has lost its target and is flying towards the planet!" Communications Soldier also came over to report the battle situation.
"No! This is wrong! What happened? The second wave has not destroyed the opponent's battleship yet! Why did it lose the target? Aren't those battleships there?" Dolas roared loudly.
"I don't know, General! I don't know!"
"The enemy fleet launched a counterattack! They have merged with the formation of Victory II-class Star Destroyer!"
"The situation is not right. Recall all fighter formations immediately! The entire army retreats temporarily!" Rear Admiral Dolla gave the order immediately.
But back off?
How is that possible! That mysterious fleet is now raging in the middle of his fleet formation! Although this mysterious fleet only had 300 frigates and 200 Light Cruiser, it caused great chaos.
Reorganizing your own fleet under such circumstances is an unrealistic order!
Seeing his own fleet being held back, while the opponent's Victory II-class Star Destroyer formation, which seemed to appear out of thin air, was getting closer and closer, Rear Admiral Dolla felt like falling into an ice cave!
