554. Bloody Battle Bespin (Twelve)
"General! Our landing force encountered stubborn resistance and suffered heavy losses!" the combat staff reported to the serious-looking Republic Navy Admiral Magellan in the flagship.
"Give me a combat analysis immediately!" Admiral Magellan said.
The adjutant immediately projected a large amount of data and video images on the screen and said, "Separatists has set up a large number of artillery positions in Cloud City. The artillery fire coverage of these artillery positions overlaps with each other, and there are almost no blind spots. We mobilized air power for bombing, but these self-propelled artillery are very mobile, coupled with the protection of Separatists's stealth fighter, the effect is very little."
He switched to some more pictures and videos, and could see some of the figures, "In addition, the Separatists ers have a well-trained army and are well-equipped. Their standard combat uniforms have good defensive capabilities and do not affect their actions. Our soldiers have seen more than once that their protective plates were hit by blasters, but they stood up quickly. Correspondingly, although the weapons they used were projectile weapons, their initial speed was extremely fast and they could cause damage to our most advanced polymer alloy armor plates."
"I heard from people at Rosanna Heavy Engineering Company that the polymer alloy armor they developed has very good energy absorption and buffering effects on gunpowder and current-driven projectile weapons. Unless the power exceeds the limit of the material, it should not be penetrated." Magellan said.
"But this is not the main reason for the defeat of our soldiers... The cooperation between Separatists's soldiers and robots is very good. They often use robots to rush forward to attract firepower, and then their own soldiers outflank them from the flanks. Such tactical literacy far exceeds that of our army." The adjutant said, "In the end, Commander was on the front line Under the command of Rasma, we gathered more than 400 fighter jets to conduct concentrated bombing on the east side of Cloud City, and then seized a landing site and are concentrating on the delivery. Now more than 20,000 people have successfully landed, and we are increasing the delivery volume and sending more AT-TE walkers."
Admiral Magellan shook his head, "Doing this will make it impossible to use the numerical advantage of our fighter jets... Because the battlefield is concentrated, the fighter jets cannot be fully deployed. However, Rasma has his own considerations and I agree. Since there is a big gap in the quality of the soldiers, strengthening mechanical firepower is the only option. He is the frontline Commander, and I will not interfere with his decision."
"Then let's..."
"We still have Jedi Knight!" Admiral Magellan said proudly, but his eyes were no longer so firm. "We will try our best to cover the ground troops. No matter what, we have the air superiority! We must take down the top layer of Cloud City! Use the free fighter jets to strengthen the offensive against Separatist fleet!"
Bespin Life Belt.
In this 30-kilometer-high and tens-of-thousand-kilometer-long life zone, the fierce air battle has not stopped.
Fourth Civilization's fleet and Republic fleet are constantly firing at each other with safe power that will not cause damage to the atmosphere. Although such firing is ineffective, the cumulative effect can still cause damage to the opponent's warships.
Of course, the protagonist of the battlefield has become a fighter jet.
Matt-Hona dispatched almost all their fighter jets and tried their best to fight against Galactic Republic's overwhelmingly superior fighter group. Garda Flak Frigate in the fleet also entered Bespin Life Belt to assist the air force in the battle.
Not only that, the anti-aircraft firepower on those Floating Citys was also fully activated, pouring firepower towards all approaching enemy aircraft.
This is an uncomfortable battle for both sides. Republic fleet has begun to widen the gap with Fourth Civilization fleet in the artillery battle, and the number of Vulture droid fighter of Fourth Civilization is getting smaller and smaller. The pressure on Wraith fighter, Stilat Class, and Shriken Class frigate is also increasing.
Fortunately, Fourth Civilization had an absolute advantage on the ground battlefield.
Fourth Civilization There are a total of 3 Infantry Division here, more than 50,000 people, as well as 700,000 B-1 combat robots and 20,000 B-2 super combat robots. Although it is Infantry Division, considering the next battle, Tang Xiao also strengthened this army with more than 400 Siege Tank.
Fourth Civilization Army Training has been very harsh since the founding of the army. There are even dozens to hundreds of soldiers who die in training every year. In addition, there are a huge number of combat cases and data in the database for reference. Among the initial batch of hibernating talents, there are also many outstanding soldiers and officers.
Later, the addition of Army General Xian Hui brought Fourth Civilization Army's training level to a higher level. Such an army is naturally unmatched by Galactic Republic's other unknown troops.
Of course Galactic Republic also has an army comparable to the Fourth Civilization Army - Clone Army, but this army is still trapped in Geonosis eating mud.
Matt-Hona were also listening to reports in their flagships. Commander Xiao Guanghua, Fourth Civilization's frontline, kept sending good news. It seemed that he was in a very happy mood to be able to experience the frontline. It was much better than before when Army General sat in the office all day.
At this time, Matt-Hona suddenly realized that there was an extra person beside him!
He suddenly looked back, only to find that it was Darth-Malthael, wearing a black cloak, standing there quietly.
"Mr. Governor! When did you come?" Matt-Hona quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to be the only one in the entire bridge who knew that the Governor was coming. Others were busy as usual, and there were even a few staff officers who cast strange looks at him who was saluting in the air.
"You don't need to call me Governor, now... I am Archangel of Death..." Tang Xiao said lightly, "I accept your command here. You only need to tell me when you need me to attack and kill the opponent's Jedi Knight."
He glanced at Matt-Hona, "I have already felt the fear in the heart of Commander. As long as we can kill Jedi Knight, this battle will be our victory."
Matt-Hona nodded, turned around and looked at the combat holographic projection and said, "Jedi Knight of Galactic Republic has been dispatched, a total of 4 people, driving the Delta-7 to fight. It is precisely because of the presence of the four of them that our stealth fighters have suffered heavy losses. So far, they have shot down more than 30 stealth fighters. If this continues, when the stealth device runs out of energy, our ground forces will not be able to receive air support for a long time."
After speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Although I don't know much about Mr. Lord Archangel of Death's power, these four Jedi Knight are still under the protection of thousands of fighter jets. It is obviously extremely dangerous to kill them."
"If there is no opportunity... create an opportunity... an opportunity that only Jedi Knight can seize." Das-Malthael said, "I have blocked my aura, and they cannot see the danger from me through Force sense. So now, all you need is to give them a chance."
Matt-Hona thought for a while and said to the messenger, "Call the frontline Commander Xiao Guanghua to step up the offensive! Break through Galactic Republic's defense line at the landing site at all costs, overwhelm all robot legions, and let them feel the pressure regardless of losses! Then..."
He said proudly, "Fleet A dispersed formation! The flagship comes forward! I will be the bait myself!"
