515.Battle of Geonosis (5)
At this moment, Master Yoda, who was on the bridge of the Indomitable battleship and had been standing there with his crutches, watching his nose and heart without saying a word, suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and said to Mabel Garson: "It's approaching, huge danger."
Mabel Garson was stunned for a moment, but out of trust in Jedi Knight and Master Yoda, he asked, "Master Yoda, Separatists have reinforcements?"
"Hmm..." Master Yoda nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Land on the planet, start as soon as possible. No fighting, loaded with soldiers."
Mabel Garson nodded and immediately gave the order, "The landing team gets rid of the entanglement, enters the atmosphere immediately, and launches the attack as planned!"
The 12 Acclamator-class assault ship ships fully loaded with Clone Trooper immediately gave up the battle and flew towards the atmosphere of Geonosis.
When a huge spacecraft passes through the atmosphere, the surrounding air is squeezed and friction begins to burn, making it look like the clouds in the sky are ignited.
According to prior scanning and planning, 12 Acclamator-class assault ship ships will focus on attacking the assembly points of Geonosis in the Eastern Hemisphere.
After the warship entered the atmosphere, it immediately carried out violent bombing of ground targets. At the same time, a large number of V-19 Torrent fighter took off and began to seize air superiority.
Geonosis's defense force also immediately took off a large number of fighter jets to attack. However, Galactic Republic's fighter jets relied on the powerful firepower of Acclamator-class assault ship to easily destroy Geonosians's air force.
General Grievous cursed at Trabo in the communication, but it was still to no avail. The ten Generous-class frigates in the hands of this mediocre man were completely entangled by seven Acclamator-class assault ships, and he did not dare to leave the battle easily. He was worried about causing losses, so he could only continue the stalemate.
However, Geonosians still organized a large number of ground troops. Countless anti-aircraft turrets were raised from their hiding places and fired wildly at Acclamator-class in the sky. Even if the three orbital defense cannons were destroyed, they still had enough firepower to prevent Republic fleet from flying directly over them and blowing them into pieces.
After that, 12 Acclamator-class assault ship began to fly a large number of LAAT low altitude assault transport aircraft (Low Altitude Assault Transport). There are two models of this assault transport aircraft. The larger one is the LAAT/C type, which is 28.82 meters long, has an empty belly and only one pylon, and can be used to transport large mechanical equipment.
The other type is the LAAT/I type, which is relatively small, 17.4 meters long and 17 meters wide. The belly is a spacious cockpit that can carry 30 soldiers.
Moreover, this assault transport aircraft has powerful firepower and can be said to be armed to the teeth. It is equipped with three scatter laser cannons, two in front and one in the back, two spherical beam laser turrets on the left and one on the right. Above are two missile launchers with 30 rounds of ammunition. Four air-to-air missiles are installed under the wings.
These LAAT assault transport aircraft fully loaded with personnel and equipment took off from the hangar of Acclamator-class assault ship. After a burst of bombing on the ground, they landed on the ground and dropped off the personnel and equipment, and then returned to the warship to continue sending people off.
The well-trained Clone Trooper immediately began to take up positions after stepping off the transport plane, establishing landing positions, setting up command centers and artillery positions at all levels.
The surface of Geonosis immediately fell into the flames of war. Clone Army of Galactic Republic launched an attack on the main nest of Geonosis from 12 different directions. They immediately destroyed almost all the airports on the surface of the planet, cut off the connection between various regions of the planet, and formed a siege on the main nest.
Geonosians was not to be outdone. An army of 1.1 million B-1 combat robots was assembled and took advantage of the Clone Army's landing deployment opportunity to launch a counterattack in their direction.
Master Yoda also took one of the LAAT/I transport planes to the ground, and assembled dozens of transport planes to fly directly to the direction of the arena, preparing to rescue Anakin-Skywalker and Obi-Wan-Kenobi, and to contact Master Windu, who was still fighting in the underground factory.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred in space!
On the Galactic Republic flagship Indomitable, Tactical Advisor Mabel Garson received an emergency communication from Majestic warship fighting in space, "Colonel! We have detected a hyperspace jump signal! It belongs to a large battleship!"
"Impossible!! The information given by the Intelligence Department is that Separatist fleet is basically stationed! Where can they get more fleets?!" Mabel Garson was shocked.
"I don't know, maybe the intelligence is wrong, maybe Separatists has other unknown powers." The captain of Magnificent said.
Mabel Garson's eyes became serious.
In fact, no matter how the politicians quarreled in the parliament and discussed "Military Creation Act" over and over again, it was not passed, but the military of Galactic Republic was not idle.
As the atmosphere of war became stronger and stronger, Republic Strategic Command also started intelligence work very early. Because the two sides are originally one family, the flow of personnel is very complicated, so in fact, the information on which shipyards the two sides have and how many spacecraft they have built is basically known.
This is also true for Fourth Civilization himself. Several of their major peripheral industrial bases have more or less informants who provide intelligence to Galactic Republic. This is impossible to prevent. However, the only thing they have that is better is Star Ring of Dawn Star Planet. Because Fourth Civilization's cohesion can be said to be second to none in the entire galaxy, Galactic Republic's intelligence on Dawn Star Planet itself is not very clear.
Of course, as the war officially breaks out, it will become more and more difficult for the warring parties to penetrate each other. At this time, intelligence can basically only be obtained on the front line.
According to the current intelligence of the Republic Intelligence Department, most of Separatist fleet is staying at the station and not moving, and several monitoring stations on the main hyperspace channels have not sent any signals of large-scale hyperspace jumps. At this time, where did the fleet come from?
But he couldn't wait for him to continue thinking. Outside the Geonosis gravity well, a large-scale white light flashed, and then 15 large battleships appeared!
This kind of warship is 1,100 meters long and has a long strip shape. Some have large heads and small bodies. The four large laser cannons at the front are very conspicuous. Seeing these battleships appearing on the screen, Mabel Garson's eyes were dazzled, "This is... Separatists new battleship built by Dawn Star Planet in Semirres Planet, Kohl-class Battlecruiser! Bastard! Where did they get out of here!"
At this time, a signal was connected to the public channel, and a heroic Chiss female general wearing General's uniform, high leather boots, blue skin, red eyes, and wavy hair appeared on the screen.
She crossed her legs and looked here jokingly, "Oh? Unprepared? Is this the level of Galaxy Republic fleet commander? It's not as good as our Naval Academy's new students."
Mabel Garson gritted her teeth and said, "Separatists's bastard! We'll see!"
"Hahahaha! Did your hyperspace outpost only detect the main channels? For me, who has been fighting in what you call 'Unknown Regions' for a long time, no matter how complicated the hyperspace channel is, it is a smooth road. It seems that you are just a bunch of people. Just a mediocre person who only knows how to read." The female general laughed, "Remember my name before you die! Sefrans-Tann, this will be Galactic Republic's nightmare!"
With a click, the communication was cut off. At the same time, the four heavy laser cannons on the front of the 15 Kohl-class Battlecruisers lit up with a burst of dazzling energy, and then a full 60 laser beams were illuminated on the Acclamator-class assault ship who was fighting with Confederacy fleet.
"Arkon was attacked by a laser! It was confirmed to be an X-band laser!"
"The shield power is reduced by 20%, quick! Turn! Turn!!" Republic warship, who was attacked, suddenly became a mess.
Mabel Garson quickly said loudly, "Each ship reorganizes its formation and breaks away from the battle! Repeat! Break away from the battle!"
At the same time, the voice of Master Yoda also came from the communication, "Support the space battlefield, after completing the landing. As soon as possible."
"Yes! Inform the landing troops to drop all troops and return to space immediately!" Mabel Garson immediately gave the order.
However, saying this is easier said than done! Each Acclamator-class assault ship carries 16,000 Clone Trooper and corresponding equipment, a total of 200,000 troops! They carried a total of 1,000 LAAT/I transport aircraft and 400 LAAT/C transport aircraft, and it took many round trips to drop off all the personnel.
At this moment, in space, there are only 7 Acclamator-class assault ships fighting with the 10 Generous-class frigates and 15 Kohl-class Battlecruisers!
Sefrans-Tann's ability to capture fighters is absolutely top-notch!
At the same time, Sefrans-Tann also connected to the communication of Admiral Commander Trabo on Confederacy of Independent Systems. She almost pointed her nose at him and said arrogantly, "Stop your stupid command! Give me the command of your battleships - if you don't want to go to military court for delaying the fighter plane."
"No... you have no right to do this..." Trabo still wanted to fight, "I belong to Newt-Governor Gonrey..."
Before he could finish speaking, a force that appeared out of thin air grabbed his neck! Sefrans-Tann raised his hand and shook it in the air. Trabo immediately started struggling, his eyes filled with fear.
"I said, give me the command of your fleet. Idiots are not qualified to command the fleet." Sefrans-Tann said coldly.
After speaking, she raised her hand and waved, and Trabo was immediately thrown aside by invisible force.
This time he did not dare to disobey and quickly handed over the identification code and authority to Sefrans-Tann.
Sefrans-Tann said coldly, "Now I am your Commander. Send the status of each ship over immediately and prepare to listen to my next order."
"Yes... yes..." The captains of Munificent-class communications frigate had already been shocked by Tann's momentum, and quickly asked the T-series tactical robot beside them to report the status of their respective warships.
Sefrans-Tann looked at the status of each Generous-class frigate on the screen, and saw that the shields of these warships had suffered shield damage ranging from 30 to 70%, but none of them had their shields penetrated.
This was also caused by the previous chaos. In fact, both warring parties were fighting randomly. Mabel Garson's purpose was only to entangle Trabo's fleet and create opportunities for them to land, so she took the initiative to turn the battle into a chaotic battle, which also caused the firepower of both sides to be very dispersed.
And General Trabo is indeed a fool. He was unprepared for this chaotic battle. He was completely unable to exert the firepower of the two heavy Turbolaser cannons directly in front of Generous-class frigate. He just kept accompanying Republic warship in circles.
Therefore, although the two sides have been fighting for a while, neither side has achieved anything. This is a long time coming.
In fact, this also shows that in the early days of this war after thousands of years of peace, both sides, from officers to soldiers, were unfamiliar with war.
Sefrans-Tann Fingertips flicked, and countless data passed through her mind, then filtered, reorganized, and finalized the plan. Then she started giving orders...
"... Give up the attack on the Galactic Republic Sharp Fang, Valiant and Borg battleships. Attacking them will only cause chaos in the formation."
"Generous-class Ship No.7, No.9, and No.10 abandoned the current target and formed a temporary attack group. The main guns were aimed at Galactic Republic Majestic warship and fired three rounds."
"Generous-class Ship No. 2 and Ship No. 6 gave up the attack, retreated to regroup, and concentrated their firepower to drive away Galactic Republic's fighters."
"Generous-class Ship No. 1, Ship No. 3, Ship No. 4, and Ship No. 5 spread out to both sides, leaving the firing range for my Kohl-class Battlecruiser. At the same time, they divided into two combat groups and concentrated their firepower to attack the opponent Akon warship."
After the Company One series of instructions went down, the actions of the 10 Generous-class frigate ships of Trabos fleet began to be coordinated and started to act very purposefully. She divided the 10 battleships into four combat groups, and gave up attacking the Acclamator-classs that were deep in the formation, like shit-stirring sticks, and instead concentrated firepower on the battleships located relatively outside.
In this way, Generous-class frigate's powerful frontal main gun can finally be used.
After another salvo, the shield of Akon warship on Galactic Republic's side was immediately penetrated, followed by another salvo of 60 laser beams on Kohl-class Battlecruiser's side! The powerful energy immediately burned through Akon warship's armor. If Acclamator-class's armor had not been made by molecularizing the neutron star material and then collapsing between the metal molecular bonds, with unimaginable strength, other spaceships would have fallen apart in this attack!
But even so, Company One's concentrated attack still caused heavy damage to Arkon. Smoke billowed from the rear half of the battleship, and flames continued to spurt out from the cabin, and then were instantly extinguished in the vacuum of space.
At this time, Sefrans-Tann said to T-series tactical robot beside him, "Have you calculated it? According to the rotation rate of Geonosis."
"The calculation is completed and has been sent to your command terminal."
A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Tann's mouth, "So, when will you come up? Galactic Republic's mediocrity..."
