663. Battle of Christophsis (nineteen)
Hearing Obi-Wan's voice, Anakin was extremely surprised and said loudly, "Obi-Wan! Finally got in touch! I also want to know what happened now! Just before, our communication There was a complete interruption, and a large number of false tactical instructions appeared later. I just arrived at the communication tower and found that CI-3331's tactical Commander, nicknamed Slick, had a major suspicion, but he had already escaped."
As he spoke, he asked the soldiers here to send out light signals, calling Rex them to come quickly.
In the holographic projection, Obi-Wan said, "My technical team here has checked out that a Trojan horse has been implanted in our communication system. The technicians have cleared part of it and restored some functions, but it will take some time to fully restore communication... But I think we don't have much time."
He continued, "And the situation is very strange. Just before, under the invasion of Trojan horses, we were constantly sending messages for help to the rear."
"Asking for help? Logically speaking, if Separatists has invaded our communication system, we shouldn't be allowed to send a request for help, right?" Anakin frowned.
"The signal for help is that we are under attack from Dawn Star Planet Fleet A's main force and are requesting support." Obi-Wan-Kenobi said in a deep voice.
"Why are you sending this message... wait a minute, are you trying to achieve something with this message?" Anakin suddenly thought of it.
"Yes, I'm worried that this conspiracy also involves Dawn Star Planet. If so, there will be danger on the 19th Army's side! Once this message is sent back to Supreme Strategic Command, they will think that Dawn Star Planet's main fleet has gone to the other side of the galaxy!" Obi-Wan-Kenobi has also figured out many things.
"No! Correct information must be sent to the rear immediately!" Anakin said loudly.
"We can't do it now. We are facing a fierce attack from Separatist fleet, and the fighter formation has suffered heavy losses. The opponent's electronic interference is very powerful, and we cannot effectively send hyperspace communications in such a battlefield situation. What I can do now is to use our warships as base stations to re-establish the communication network. Reorganize your troops as soon as possible!" Obi-Wan said.
"Okay!" Anakin nodded and said.
Sure enough, after a while, the communication on Republic army's side gradually recovered, and Anakin immediately contacted the command center.
However, the message received was disappointing. The command center was being transferred, or to be precise, it was continuously retreating. Because when communications were cut off, they didn't even know where to establish a solid defense line. They could only retreat in despair, trying to trade Crystal City's complex and huge space for time.
Fortunately, they finally waited until communications were restored.
But unfortunately, the entire front has completely collapsed!
The clone troops and the local troops of Christophsis, with a total remaining strength of less than 200,000, were divided into more than 170 isolated armies that had no contact with each other, and at least half of the armies were more or less under attack.
That's right, more than 170 lone troops! It can be said that they were completely broken up!
Under such circumstances, even if the military geniuses from ancient times to the present come together, it is absolutely impossible to reintegrate the army!
Anakin-Skywalker's face was gloomy. At this time, even he felt that the situation had completely collapsed and there was no way to recover. He checked the locations of the scattered troops through his personal terminal and asked, "Can you detect the location of the enemy's command center?"
"Communications have just been restored. It is impossible for us to detect such intelligence..." Commander said.
"I think I have some clues, master." A slightly immature female voice suddenly came through the communication.
"Little devil! That's great, you're fine too!" Anakin was a little surprised. Although he was very worried before, after all, there were many more important things, so he didn't have time to ask. Now that he heard Ahsoka-Tano's voice, he finally felt relieved.
"My team previously reinforced a local army on the north flank of the defense line, but they had already broken up when they arrived. They were pursued by an army of Kloiden. My intuition told me that the opponent's Commander was probably in this direction." Ahsoka-Tano said.
"Intuition?"
"Uh... I'm sorry, master, it's really just intuition..." Ahsoka also felt that his reason was a bit far-fetched, and his tone lowered.
"No, maybe this is the guidance the Force gave you, little devil." Anakin said, then turned to Commander and said, "I will launch a raid against Separatists's Commander. Maybe this is our last chance."
At this time, another communication came in, and Obi-Wan-Kenobi said loudly, "Anakin! I have seen the situation on the ground station! Now except in the direction of Crystal City, our troops have also suffered defeats on other battlefields on Christophsis! Now we must consider retreating!"
"No! If we retreat, Christophsis 35 billion people will fall into the clutches of Separatists!" Anakin said through gritted teeth.
"Listen Anakin! We were going into this battle alone, and now we have been cut off from contact with Galactic Republic. This is extremely dangerous! If we don't respond as soon as possible, we may be wiped out here. If so, the Separatists forces in this area will no longer have any power to contain!" Obi-Wan said.
"No, as long as I kill their Commander, then there is still a chance of victory!" Anakin said loudly.
"Commander Volm-Lotham of the ground forces is just a small role. Before, General Yularen had identified the existence of General Trench's flagship among Separatist fleet! In this battle, Separatists also It's the elites who have come out, Volm-Lotham can't affect the overall situation! And what I'm most worried about is... the mysterious force that silently annihilated our entire squadron before at Ryloth system, if that force comes here, maybe we will all die here." Obi-Wan said in a deep voice.
"I'm not afraid of sacrifice! No matter what, we should fight to the end!"
"But think about it! If our army is wiped out here, what will it mean for Galactic Republic?! This is not an easy decision to make Anakin, but we have to leave." When Obi-Wan said these words, his voice was also trembling.
What he didn't say was that on the space battlefield, facing the fierce offensive jointly launched by General Trench and Sefrans-Tann, Republic fleet was struggling to hold on, and the losses were extremely heavy. It could only delay for one second!
Anakin-Skywalker thought for a while and said, "Commander, Ahsoka! The plan remains unchanged. I will launch a surprise attack on the enemy Commander, hoping to cause confusion in the opponent's ground troops and give you time to retreat."
"I want to go too! Master! Now my troops are not far from the north wing and can provide support!" Ahsoka said eagerly.
"You should..." Anakin was about to say the words of rejection, but when he saw the petite but still determined faces of Ahsoka-Tano in the holographic projection, he finally nodded heavily.
