549. Bloody Battle Bespin (7)
Soon, a message came from the rear door Intelligence Department. Admiral Magellan looked at the message and frowned, "According to the intelligence from door Intelligence Department, Wraith fighter was arrested 12 years ago. It has been launched and entered the black market and is a very popular fighter. We have all the data information here, but it is obvious that the performance of the Wraith fighter used by Separatists is much higher than the performance in our records."
"This is inevitable. In the past 12 years, Wraith fighter has probably been constantly improving. Moreover, Dawn Star Planet must have accumulated a large amount of combat data through Wraith fighter's large-scale export sales for targeted upgrades. In comparison, I Many of our fighters have not been tested in actual combat." Jedi Master Aiden Ward on the other side said, he is a Nikto. Compared with the brown skin of ordinary Nikto, his skin is closer to black and looks a bit scary.
"Hmph! In contrast, Republic Senate has not allowed weapons ordered by the military to enter the market before. Those congressmen are afraid of an increase in weapons production and are afraid that our military will get more funds through the arms trade! This has led to all our weapons and equipment being manufactured behind closed doors!" Admiral Magellan has a hot temper, he said loudly.
Green-Betty glanced at him and said calmly, "That's not the case, Admiral Magellan. As far as I know, Kuat Drive Yards, Rendili StarDrive, and Corellia Engineering Company all have very complete weapon design and testing systems. The weapons and equipment coming out of this system will have a large number of simulation tests even if they are not tested in actual combat, so there will be no performance problems."
Admiral Magellan shook his head, looked at the information and continued, "There is also information that shows that a group of pirates called Black Ship once appeared near Tatooine, and they used stealth Wraith fighter. But, you know, this information did not receive any attention. Haha..."
Seeing this, he sneered and slapped the table, "Stupid! If it weren't for the wise Speaker who overcame all opinions to establish Grand Army of the Republic, now Dawn Star Planet's fleet alone could have killed all the way to Inner Rim Territories!"
When it came to this topic, he was obviously very angry, but he did not forget his duty and said to Green Beatty: "General, I suggest that we launch a forced landing operation immediately."
"Tell me your plan, Admiral Magellan. You are the most professional in commanding war." Green-Betty said.
Admiral Magellan pointed at the holographic star map and said, "Look, the Separatists ers' stealth fighter did not come to attack us directly. Now both of us have returned to a long-range artillery battle. This situation is what the Separatists ers are very willing to see. Their warships have powerful firepower, and they also have this kind of Kinetic Cannon, and our only advantage is that the shield strength of our warships is stronger than the opponent's. If this continues, our fleet is no match!"
"I agree with that," Green-Betty replied.
"But our fighter group still has an absolute advantage. Separatists's only winning chance is their stealth fighter, but now we are unable to fight against it. I just confirmed with the technical department that Hunter Class Battlecruiser's radar can detect and lock stealth fighters within 5,000 kilometers."
"In space combat, this distance is very deadly. A fighter jet with afterburner turned on can cross this distance in a few seconds," Aiden Ward said.
"But this is by no means the speed of combat, except for you Jedi Knight." Admiral Magellan said, "So, in order to continue to play our advantage, we must choose the battlefield ourselves!"
As he spoke, he placed a heavy dot on Bespin Planet on the star map.
"Forced landing on Bespin Planet will force Separatists's stealth fighters to fight only around those Floating City, and our warships can provide guidance for our fighters. A good plan." Green-Betty said, "If we just land under such circumstances, maybe our army will suffer a heavy blow during the landing process."
"But this is our biggest opportunity! 15,000 fighter jets should not retreat just because of the existence of 300 stealth fighters! Moreover, the Speaker has high hopes for us. If Separatists's arrogance cannot be dampened, then this war will be very difficult to fight." Admiral Magellan said.
"In that case, Master Aiden and I, as well as our apprentices, will also participate in the war. We will do our best to provide cover for the soldiers of the army." Gori-Betty bowed to Admiral Magellan, "May the Force be with you, Admiral Magellan."
As the Admiral Magellan command was issued, the Republic fleet formation suddenly changed. The 47 Hunter Class Battlecruiser ships that still had combat capabilities rushed towards Bespin Planet with the firepower of Fourth Civilization fleet. In the previous battle, they lost a total of 13 Hunter Class Battlecruisers, 4 of which were completely destroyed and 9 lost their combat effectiveness.
Matt-Hona, who were aware of Republic fleet's intentions, immediately ordered all the remaining 8 Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, 41 Kohl-class Battlecruiser and 10 Sova-class Carrier to decisively meet them. During the battle, they lost 2 Hiigaran-class and 9 Kohl-class. Among them, 1 Kohl-class was destroyed, and the others were severely damaged and unable to fight.
In the fleet artillery battle, Fourth Civilization fleet had a slight advantage, but as Admiral Magellan judged, if it continued like this, this advantage would expand like a snowball and eventually reach the point of being out of control.
Republic fleet continued to take off fighter jets after recovering the previously returned fighter jets, but the difference was that this time their fighter jets kept taking off and taking off. In the end, a total of 3,000 V-19 Torrent fighter and 1,500 Z-95 Headhunter multifunctional fighters took off!
The huge numerical gap made Fourth Civilization fleet no longer dare to let his fighter group take the initiative to attack. The 300 Wraith fighter released their stealth status one after another, began to charge the stealth device, and surrounded the fleet without rashly dispatching.
The warships of both sides were still exchanging fire. Republic Fleet resisted the firepower and rushed straight to the outer orbit of Bespin Planet. In the process, the distance between the fleets of both sides was getting closer and closer, until it reached a very dangerous level.
Hunter Class Battlecruiser began to concentrate the main energy supply on the shield, and then fully deployed the Hangar Platform at the front of the battleship. A large number of transport aircraft were released, and began to launch a comprehensive landing operation on more than ten Floating Citys inside Bespin Planet and Bespin Life Belt!
