551. Bloody Battle Bespin (9)
From Galactic Republic fleet to Commander and down to the pilot, no one can be prepared for Stilat Class and Shriken Class, two spaceships that have almost the same appearance but different functions and extremely powerful performance!
These two types of light frigates have been one of Fourth Civilization's top secrets since their inception. All tests were conducted at Endor system, making it impossible for spies to penetrate.
Because the development goal of these two light frigates was to target the Galactic Republic fighter group. At that time, Fourth Civilization already had Wraith fighter. Ordinary pirates did not pose a threat at all, and there was no need for such frigates to go into battle.
So now, Galactic Republic knows nothing about this kind of spacecraft!
Stilat Class frigate's Interference Ray can interfere with the energy response in the spacecraft engine, causing the engine output to decrease and thus reduce its speed. Shriken Class frigate's Disintegration Ray can directly destroy enemy ship armor at the molecular level, but its power is actually not very great. In actual combat tests, it is of little use against warships of more than 300 meters like Revelation-class light cruiser, let alone threatening main battleships with a length of one thousand meters.
But if the combat target becomes a fighter jet, the low-power shield of the fighter jet will not be able to block the exposure of these two types of rays, and the result will be fatal.
300 Stilat Class Light Corvette and 100 Shriken Class Light Corvette took off from Floating City, mixed in the middle of Vulture droid fighter and Wraith fighter, causing terrible damage to the Galactic Republic fighter group!
"H-42 Squadron has lost contact!"
"J-11 Squadron lost 9 fighter jets, please retreat!"
"The engine failed! The engine... ah!!!!"
The flight control command centers of each Hunter Class Battlecruiser are filled with such tragic calls, which is eye-catching. But for Fleet Commander Admiral Magellan, he only said one word, "Attack!"
Even though fighter jets were being lost at an alarming rate, that was all he said.
Not for anything else, just because he has enough fighter jets!
Compassion does not control soldiers, this is the most basic quality. Admiral Magellan could see clearly that even though Wraith fighter and those small spaceships were almost crushing their own fighters, their numbers were too few after all.
400 small spacecraft, less than 1,000 Wraith fighter.
As for Galactic Republic, even though the fighter units continued to suffer losses after fierce battles, the number of remaining available fighters displayed on the screen in front of him was still...
11109!
That's right, even though he has lost more than 4,000 fighter jets before and after, he still has 11,109 in hand!
In comparison, of the 2,400 Vulture droid fighters that Separatists took off to attack in this batch, there are less than 800 left!
Including the more than 2,000 Vulture droid fighter lost before, Separatists directly lost half of its air cover force.
When these Vulture droid fighter are completely lost, it is when these Separatists, Wraith fighter and small spacecraft face the Galactic Republic fighter group with absolute numerical superiority alone without cover!
At that time, the real victory or defeat will be decided!
"Attack!!" Matt-Hona also said the same word.
Fourth Civilization's battleship accelerated its speed and continuously attacked Republic Fleet, while constantly firing with maximum firepower!
Whether it is Kohl-class Battlecruiser or Hiigaran-class battlecruiser, both can exert maximum firepower when facing the enemy head-on. This is the biggest difference between Fourth Civilization battleship and Republic warship.
Republic fleet's decisive attack, and Jedi Knight's direct detection of the invisible Hangar Platform and Space Mine Array's ambush, left Matt-Hona with only this option.
He must rush over now, the purpose is to kill and injure their fleet as much as possible before Republic fleet breaks into Bespin Life Belt.
The giant Hypermatter Railgun in front of Kohl-class Battlecruiser charges up again and fires a salvo!!
Dozens of dazzling lights lit up, which also meant that a giant cannonball with a diameter of 40 meters directly hit the target at one-tenth the speed of light.
The two Hunter Class Battlecruiser were directly blasted into two pieces by such firepower! The wreckage of the battleship continued to explode and lost power, but it continued to move forward under the influence of inertia.
Behind these battleships are more wreckage and debris, forming a debris belt that stretches for thousands of kilometers and is dozens of kilometers wide.
But finally, the remaining 39 Hunter Class Battlecruisers from Galactic Republic entered the range of Bespin Life Belt.
"The main gun ceased fire." Matt-Hona took a deep breath and said, "Enter Bespin Life Belt!"
Bespin Life Belt is a 30-kilometer-high atmospheric space located 150 kilometers to 180 kilometers away from the outer atmosphere of the gas giant planet Bespin Planet. The atmospheric composition here is a zone where most intelligent creatures in the Milky Way can survive.
Just like the name, Bespin Life Belt, is the gift given by Bespin Planet to all living beings, and it is also a symbol of giving life to this cold planet.
More than 10 million people live in more than ten Floating Citys here, half of them live in the largest Floating City-Cloud City.
Matt-Hona cannot issue this command...
Because if this thousand-meter-level battleship fires at full power, the power of the main gun can easily destroy the atmosphere of Bespin Life Belt, turning this place into a complete death zone!
The consequences of this are equivalent to Orbital Bombardment directly on a densely populated planet. No one can withstand the coming storm, not even Tang Xiao.
Because no one wants to live under a Tyrant who kills an entire planet at the slightest disagreement, especially when they have other options.
Even if Fourth Civilization is a militant and aggressive civilization that Tang Xiao single-handedly created, he must whitewash his aggressive behavior as a fight for freedom and a liberating act to resist the tyranny of Galactic Republic. If this is untenable, he will not be able to rule these planets with different ideologies and even races.
Of course, he can also fight his way through. As long as he is strong enough, he will just become the emperor in the ruins - if he is still willing at that time.
Now Galactic Republic fleet sails directly into Bespin Life Belt, and their meaning is very clear - resist firepower along the way, and the lost warships will be regarded as interest. Now we both sides will decide the outcome in the ground battle.
Matt-Hona, must fight, and he has to fight.
Even if such a result is equivalent to sealing the greatest firepower advantage of his fleet, he can only do this.
You can say that Galactic Republic is being a hooligan, but this is war... If your defense line fails to prevent the other party's landing action, then there is only the next step!
The fleet of Fourth Civilization broke into Bespin Life Belt. The warships on both sides were still firing non-stop, but they also limited the main gun power to a safe power. This shooting power is recorded in the database of each battleship. Shooting at this power will not damage the atmosphere.
Among Galactic Republic's ancient war cases, except for those wars that were really red-blooded and fought all the way, once the fleets of both sides entered such a battle mode in the planet's atmosphere, if the victory was determined by artillery battles alone, it would probably take several days.
At this time, fighter jets and ground troops became the real protagonists!
