799. Surrounding the spot for support
"What?! Gandrossi VI (Gandrossi VI)? Recover the exploration spacecraft immediately, we will go there immediately!!" Sass-Ting said loudly.
"Be careful! Sass-Master Ting." Master Yoda said, "You should pay attention to the hidden nature of the matter. Why is He Ru in such a tragic situation? Barloi's spaceship."
Sass-Ting calmed down instantly, and he quickly said seriously, "Thank you for your teaching, Master Yoda. I will proceed with caution."
"Be with you, may the Force." Master Yoda nodded.
"May the Force be with you." Sass-Ting bowed.
Sass-Master Ting recovered half of the army, 6,000 Clone Trooper, and left one Acclamator-class assault ship to cover. Then he led the remaining Acclamator-class assault ship and a small fleet composed of four Hunter Class Battlecruisers to move directly towards Ganderos VI.
"Have you contacted the planet?" Sass-Ting asked.
"No, General Sate." The communications soldier said, "We checked the communication records. Two days ago, Ganderos VI had not sent any information to the outside world."
Sass-Ting's face darkened, "Why are we discovering this situation now?!"
"General, this situation is actually very common. For example, astronomical phenomena such as changes in stellar flares or supernova explosions will cause hyperspace communications in a certain area to be interrupted. This is also the reason why no one noticed that Valk Planet lost contact before," the communications soldier said.
"In other words, if it weren't for the distress signal, we wouldn't have noticed Ganderos VI's situation at all?" Sass-Ting frowned.
"Indeed."
"Then the possibility of this being a trap is very high." Sass-Ting said.
"So we have to retreat?" Clone Commander asked.
"No. We have to continue to investigate." Sass-Ting replied.
"With all due respect, General Sate, maybe Barloi had the same mentality at the time." Clone Commander said, "And this enemy took advantage of our mentality, so General Barloi was poisoned."
Sass-Ting shook his head and said, "We have no more reinforcements. The lives of 3 million people on Ganderos VI are in our hands. Before the enemy's situation is made public, Galactic Republic will not send more force. Now all their energy is focused on Core Worlds... That terrible battleship, Plague is wreaking havoc on Core Worlds."
"The congressmen's priority is their own lives, it seems." Clone Commander said.
"It's human nature." Sass-Ting turned around and looked at Ganderos VI who had appeared outside the porthole, and said, "Send a shuttle to the planet. Don't rush to land. First conduct reconnaissance on the planet's atmosphere."
"Yes!"
Three shuttles took off from Republic fleet and began to lower their altitude and enter the planet's atmosphere. The shuttles deployed energy shields to offset air resistance and flew at a high speed of 11,000 kilometers per hour. This is also the highest speed in the atmosphere that can be achieved under current technology when tactical maneuvers are possible.
The shuttle quickly sent back a message. On Ganderos VI, among the 13 colonial towns in the general attack, 5 towns were still in a state of fighting, and the remaining 8 towns were completely silent.
And it seems that because the communication on the planet has been destroyed, they are unable to receive all information from the planet.
Sass-Master Ting thought for a while and said, "Don't land rashly. Take off bombers immediately to provide air support on the ground! Then send a liaison team to get in touch with these colonial towns."
Following his instructions, 4 Hunter Class Battlecruisers deployed Hangar Platforms one after another, and 50 Y-wing bombers dived directly under the escort of 200 V-19 Torrent fighters to provide air cover for the colonial towns that were fighting.
On the ground, a large number of terrifying-looking Corpse Puppet are frantically attacking the town's defense line. The town defenders relied on solid fortifications to hold the line. These five surviving towns have resisted until now because they built walls around the towns.
On the ground outside, countless Corpse Puppet wrecks are almost piled up like a mountain. A rough estimate is that the number of Corpse Puppet killed alone is over 100,000!
But there are still more Corpse Puppets launching attacks. They seem to have a little wisdom. At least they know how to use ordinary Corpse Puppets as cannon fodder, and then use those self-destructing Corpse Puppets that emit red light to blow up the wall.
Mixed among the Corpse Puppet, there are a small number of Geth soldiers, shooting with plasma rifles. This is also the few long-range firepower of this siege army.
Seeing such a scene, the angry Galactic Republic pilot immediately controlled the fighter jet to dive down, and launched a fierce bombing attack on the Corpse Puppet and Geth positions!
Wherever Turbolaser swept, Corpse Puppet fell in pieces, and when the cluster bombs fell, they formed a sea of fire!
Faced with such aerial firepower, those Corpse Puppet and a small number of Geth had no choice at all, and their offensive was finally stopped.
The defenders on the ground who were on the verge of despair saw the Galactic Republic fighter jets falling from the sky. They jumped up and cheered loudly, with tears in their eyes.
Since the planet was attacked, they have almost lost some hope of survival.
And now, hope falls from the sky!
However, for Master Sass-Ting and the others, what came at the same time was another kind of despair.
Sass-Ting suddenly sensed something and roared, "Inform all ships to enter combat status immediately!! The enemy attack is coming!! Take off fighter jets! Charge the main guns immediately!"
"Yes!!"
The four Hunter Class Battlecruiser immediately raised their shields, adjusted their formation, and took off a large number of fighter jets, including ARC-170 heavy-duty fighters, surrounding the battleship, ready to attack.
"General!! Large-scale hyperspace jump fluctuations have been detected!!" the radar soldier shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Listen to my instructions! The main guns fire immediately!" Sass-Ting clicked on a coordinate on the holographic star map, and then the coordinates were immediately shared with all four warships.
Four Hunter Class Battlecruisers, with a total of 32 DBY-827 double-mounted heavy-duty Turbolaser cannons, aimed directly at the empty direction and fired a salvo.
Almost at the same time, a burst of dense white light came. Hundreds of warships left hyperspace and came to this star field, and then they were instantly hit by a salvo of Galactic Republic artillery fire!
The flames of Company One's string of explosions immediately set off, and several enemy ships were immediately destroyed in the explosion. However, more other warships began to accelerate, rushing towards Republic fleet with a flexibility that was completely difficult for warships to achieve!
At the same time, countless heavy shipborne ion cannons were fired! Countless plasma clusters are heading towards Republic warship!
