662. Battle of Christophsis (eighteen)
"Attack! The communication tower must be captured as soon as possible!" Anakin-Skywalker shouted, waving Lightsaber and rushed forward, rebounding all the incoming blaster beams.
Then, under the leadership of Rex, the clone warriors bravely rushed forward.
However, the opponent's firepower was also unexpectedly fierce and very precise. Several Torrent Company soldiers fell down almost as soon as they rushed out.
Anakin kept rebounding the opponent's firepower, creating opportunities for his own soldiers. However, after a while, he finally realized something was wrong and shouted, "Stop advancing! The opponent seems to be a friendly force!!"
Rex also noticed something was wrong. He quickly stopped and hid behind the bunker, took out his telescope and took a closer look. Sure enough, through the smoke, he saw that the person in the opponent's position was also Clone Trooper!
But so what? On a battlefield where explosions and gunshots are constantly ringing, do you still have to run out and say hello to the other side and tell the captain not to shoot?
"General, what should we do? The other side seems to regard us as enemies!" Rex said to Anakin.
"The situation is a little weird. I remember that we didn't send Clone Trooper to the communication tower, right? Why are there clones guarding here? And, since there are people guarding it, why are our communications interfered with?" Anakin frowned and thought for a while, then said, "You let everyone provide fire cover here! I will rush over to find out myself!"
"This is too dangerous, General!" Before Rex finished speaking, he saw Anakin-Skywalker already rushing forward.
"Sir, what is that? It seems to be Lightsaber? Is it Jedi Knight?" In the defensive position on the communication tower side, a soldier asked, pointing to the Lightsaber looming in the smoke ahead.
Slick picked up the telescope and looked at it, and suddenly panicked, "Asshole... it's Ulu-Ulix! Battle of Bespin's traitor!!"
"Ulu-Ulix? The Jedi Knight who betrayed Galactic Republic?"
"It turns out it's him... I've also read Battle of Bespin's battle report. It's so despicable!"
"In short, we have not received any valid IFF code at present. Our task is to guard the communication tower without any mistakes! I will go upstairs now and open two fire points upstairs with CI-1094 and the others. Be careful!" Slick said.
CI-1094 is one of the Clone Troopers who was killed by his gun in the control room just now.
"Yes! We will fight to the death and never retreat!" Clone Trooper replied firmly.
At this moment, the communication channel of Republic army suddenly became noisy again, and this time, there were indeed various instructions coming from the channel!
"Acclamator-class assault ship, please bomb the commercial center immediately!"
"L-7 artillery position, please pay attention. Our airborne troops are approaching you. Please launch flares as soon as possible to indicate the direction!"
"There is a mutinous Jedi Knight outside the communication tower, please provide fire coverage immediately!"
"Stone Mountain Company, withdraw from the commercial center position immediately, there are enemies approaching the rear!"
"White Light District's shelter has been captured by the living dead. Please fire incendiary bombs to stop the spread of the living dead!"
Most of these miscellaneous instructions were ignored by the alert Commander, but there were still some more confusing instructions that were executed.
White Light District Several incendiary bombs suddenly exploded over the civilian shelter, and terrible fire rain fell from the sky, completely turning the shelter into a sea of fire!
In the shelter, civilians wailed one after another, and the ignited firemen rolled in despair on the ground, and then stopped. The scorching smell could be smelled even blocks away.
Moreover, these miscellaneous instructions finally caused Republic army to fall into chaos and lose unified dispatch and command. In addition, due to the previous suppression of biological and chemical weapons Indjori Vengeance and preventing the spread of the zombie tide, Republic army had already dispersed. Now the loss of communication has made them all alone.
On the frontal battlefield, the robot army launched a general attack. General Army Commander Volm-Lotham put in his last reserve team. Large numbers of the Retail Clan LR-57 combat robots were activated, and then rushed towards the defense line Galactic Republic set up in the commercial center.
Not only that, the zombie groups induced by the Fourth Legion from other directions also attacked Republic army's position from the side and rear. The remaining hundreds of Indjori Vengeance were mixed among the zombie groups and launched a surprise attack on the defenders who were firing wildly!
Starting from the rout of the Christophsian local troops defending the electronic business district, Republic army in several surrounding positions also fled. They were mainly locals from Christophsis. Their equipment, training and morale were not high. In addition, communications were cut off, and it was only a matter of time before they collapsed.
Although Volm-Lotham performed poorly in this battle, he was by no means mediocre after all. He immediately seized the opportunity and personally led a militia unit organized by Kloiden to insert into this gap and continue to expand it. With an NR-N99 Persuader tank robot as the leader, they launched a deep assault on the Galactic Republic position.
The situation is becoming more and more deadly. The clone Commander in the command center can no longer control the deployment of the enemy and ourselves on the front line in real time through the intelligence fed back from the front line. It can only grasp the battle situation based on the data link sharing between the two Acclamator-class assault ship in the sky. However, these two warships are being attacked by a large number of stealth Wraith fighter and are struggling to support themselves.
What's even more fatal is that the command center cannot effectively deliver instructions to allow its troops to retreat in an organized manner and organize new defensive positions. This resulted in the situation where the troops in front who had not yet fled and were retreating in an orderly manner did not know where they were. Several clone squadrons chose to defend in the wrong place. When robots rushed over from all directions, they realized that the position they were in was a protrusion.
Whoosh! Whoosh!! Explosive beams were fired like raindrops, and countless B-1 combat robots advanced while firing. The scattered corpses on the ground were trampled under their feet by their iron hooves.
A Clone Trooper helmet stained with blood was kicked around by the robot and kept rolling on the blood-covered ground. Finally, it was stepped on and crushed completely. On the broken tactical eyepiece, countless robots were reflected.
"Don't shoot! It's me!" Anakin-Skywalker finally approached the communication tower position. He jumped in front of those Clone Trooper, raised his hands and said loudly.
"General Skywalker?! Why you?!" A Clone Trooper was shocked.
"Why can't it be me?" Anakin asked.
"Sir Slick said that the one who came was the rebellious Jedi Knight Ulu-Ulix!" answered another Clone Trooper.
"Where is Slick now?"
"He said he went upstairs to set up a firepower point." Clone Trooper pointed to the inside of the communication tower.
However, when Anakin-Skywalker came inside, they only saw several corpses of Clone Trooper, but Slick was missing.
"Slip... damn it! I understand! He lied to us!!" This Clone Trooper immediately understood everything and cursed angrily.
At this time, a long-lost voice finally came from Anakin's communication, "Anakin! Anakin! What happened to you over there?"
This is the voice of Obi-Wan-Kenobi!
