653. Explosion! Second Battle of Bespin
22BBY, August 10th.
The main fleet of the Galactic Republic's 19th Army regiment departed from the Planet Kaal defense line and the capital Hoth Planet, and arrived at Gerrenthum Planet close to Bespin Planet.
After receiving the information, Fourth Civilization responded immediately. Commander of the Navy Igor-Zavalov went out in person at the age of 71, leading 5 s Kohl-class Battlecruiser and five Martha-class heavy cruiser departed from Dawn Star Planet, entered the hyperspace channel via Annaj Planet, and arrived at Bespin Planet at noon that day to organize defense.
Igor-Zavalov is also one of the elders who was awakened from the beginning and followed Tang Xiao. He was originally a Elite Class talent with the unique Big Beard of the northern race. He was already 58 years old when he was first awakened.
Originally, Tang Xiao was only interested in his experience and stability, and planned to let him make a transition and then recruit Master Class or even Legendary Class talents to replace him, but he was replaced by Commander of the Navy is in the position like a fish in water and does an excellent job. It can be said that he is one of the biggest contributors to the transformation of Fourth Civilization Navy from the first few Blade-class fighter to the current huge scale with hundreds of warships.
The only time Igor-Zavalov went to the battlefield in person was Battle of Malastare Canyon 12 years ago, and that battle also showed his excellent commanding skills. In recent years, he originally planned to retire, but the outbreak of the war made him postpone his retirement plan and planned to wait until Tang Xiao determined the successor of Commander of the Navy.
And now, he once again went from behind the scenes to the front desk to personally command this largest fleet battle since the founding of Fourth Civilization!
Galactic Standard Time At 7 pm on August 10, 80 Hunter Class Battlecruisers, escorted by 20 Aquitenes-class light cruisers, left the Gerrenthum Planet spaceport and all entered the hyperspace channel after synchronization.
At 7:30 pm, with an unusually intense flash of white light, the massive Galactic Republic fleet left hyperspace and entered Bespin System.
Second Battle of Bespin breaks out!
Admiral Magellan stood on the bridge of his new flagship, Longbow Hunter Class Battlecruiser, looking coldly at the huge gas giant in front of him.
Although nothing can be seen from this distance except the huge gaseous planet, under the powerful sensor of Hunter Class Battlecruiser, the entire deployment of Bespin System can be seen at a glance.
More than a dozen huge Floating Citys are floating among Bespin Life Belts, and near the largest Floating Citys - Cloud Citys, a fleet with 10 large warships as the core and more than 50 small warships as supplements is very cautiously arranged around it.
No, there should be more!
Admiral Magellan's eyes became extremely sharp. After Battle of Bespin's last defeat, he didn't gain anything. At least, he knew the dirty tricks of Dawn Star Planet.
After Admiral Magellan carefully summarized his previous failure, he attributed the reason for that failure to his unfamiliarity with Dawn Star Planet's various weapons and equipment. It was precisely because he didn't understand Dawn Star Planet's fighting style that he was defeated by their endless new equipment.
Just as now, he understands that there must be a large number of Gauss Fire Platform and Hangar Platform in a stealth state around Bespin Planet, and among those Hangar Platform, there must be a large number of Wraith fighter on standby!
Dawn Star Planet possesses very advanced stealth technology, which is already well known among the Galactic Republic military, and Galactic Republic's military scientific research department is also intensively developing radars that can counter stealth technology.
In fact, with their current technological level, it is not difficult to discover invisible targets. What is difficult is miniaturizing and making this technology more flexible. If this point cannot be solved and the Galactic Republic fighter jets can directly detect the opponent's stealth fighter jets, they will always be slow in air combat.
After all, Dawn Star Planet's stealth technology won't stand still forever.
Admiral Magellan's fingers lightly traced across the holographic star map. The opponent didn't have many large warships, so he didn't have to face the troublesome Kohl-class Battlecruiser and the powerful shaft-based kinetic energy weapons installed on it. This still made him feel happy.
It's just...
Magellan asked, "Didn't the intelligence say that the other party built a huge armed space station in Bespin Planet?"
The staff officer on the side shook his head and said, "We are comparing it with the Intelligence Department gate. We have indeed not found the huge armed space station during the current detection."
Admiral Magellan was not in a hurry to issue an attack order. He carefully looked at the holographic star map. Suddenly his heart jumped suddenly and he asked loudly, "How many seats are there in Bespin Planet's Floating City?"
"Well, according to the pre-war data, there are 17. The largest of them is Cloud City, some of the others are energy Floating City, some are Industrial Floating City and agriculture Floating City..." the staff officer said.
Admiral Magellan raised his hand and pointed at the signal of Floating City on the holographic star map, and said solemnly, "No, this is their large armed space station."
"Isn't this... one of the Floating Citys?" the staff officer frowned.
"I know the location of Bespin Planet 17 Floating City very well..." Admiral Magellan said seriously, "The other Floating City locations have not changed much, only this one! Factory Floating City - Shefa!"
"Shefa City?"
"The position of Shefa City has now moved to the front of Cloud City, and has separated from Bespin Life Belt, hiding his figure in the turbid Bespin Planet It spreads into the atmosphere, making it impossible for our spies to enter, so there is very little information. Moreover, according to detection, the energy level of Shefa City has increased by more than three times compared with normal conditions!" Magellan said.
"You mean, Separatists transformed the entire Shefa City into an armed space station? No... if that's the case, this is no longer a space station, this is a fortress city!" The staff officer was shocked.
"I somewhat understand Dawn Star Planet's plan. If it is a fortress city, it does have a chance to block our offensive." Magellan looked solemn, "But I am also prepared! The power of 80 Hunter Class Battlecruiser will tear this fortress city into pieces together!"
He slammed his fist on the console and said loudly, "All ships attack! Close the distance and start a decisive battle directly!"
Meanwhile, inside Cloud City.
A team of heavily armed Salarian agents were escorting more than a dozen people and dragging them into a park square. They saw hundreds of people standing there in fear, not daring to breathe as they were watched by several Goliath Mechs.
The leading captain Selurite said to the Fourth Civilization Army officer wearing Liberator combat suit: "The operation is over. Everyone who wants to report intelligence to Galactic Republic is here. I can guarantee that Galactic Republic knows nothing about the situation inside Bespin Planet."
Officer Fourth Civilization Army nodded and praised, "As expected of Agent Selurite. I have heard rumors about you for a long time, and now it seems that you are really powerful."
"Without further ado, don't waste time on these polite words." Selurite waved his hand, turned and left.
The officer looked at the dense building complexes at Cloud City and saw that almost every space port was filled with a large number of small warships, hundreds in number! And all of them are...
Javelin-class missile frigate!
He smiled coldly and said, "That's right, it won't be too late."
"You have no right to do this! We are Bespin Planet nobility!" shouted one of the well-dressed people in the crowd.
As soon as he started, the others also started shouting. These people include men and women, old people and children, nobles and homeless people, everything.
But the officer was unmoved. He waved his hand gently, and the 30mm rapid-fire cannons on the arms of several Goliath Mech spewed out scorching tongues of flame!
No Judgment, no torture, not even the most basic identification.
During this extraordinary period, as long as you send information to Galactic Republic in violation of regulations, there is only one way waiting...
Die!
Ta-ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta-ta!! The 30mm rapid-fire cannon is so powerful that after the shell hits a person, that person can't even find a piece of intact flesh!
Those people screamed loudly and fled, but the Selurite agents around them also raised their guns and pulled the triggers!
Ta-ta-ta-ta! Da da da da da da!
