942. Difficult to defeat
Not willing to give in! Really unwilling!
This is the biggest thought in Governor Republic 18th Army Wilhuff-Tarkin's heart...
He put his hands behind his back and looked out the window at the vast starry sky. Little did he know that tens of millions of kilometers away, Sefrans-Tann was also looking here with the same posture.
Tarkin hopes to win this battle beautifully more than anyone else. At the same time, he also understands that this is the expectation of Speaker Sheev-Palpatine. Galactic Republic tilted a large amount of troops and resources in the direction of the 18th Army. Even when General Grievous fought all the way to Antar system and threatened Inner Rim of the galaxy, reinforcements from the 18th Army were still endless.
He once hoped to defeat Dawn Star Planet's offensive head-on, especially after receiving information that the opponent's commander-in-chief was Sefrans-Admiral Tann.
In fact, after a series of battles such as the raid on Sarabin Planet, which caused a blackout in the galaxy Core Worlds, the raid on Christophsis, the raid on Kato-Neimoidia, and the robbery of Blade Fleet, the female general Chiss is now almost recognized throughout the galaxy as the number one general in the galaxy.
Even putting Sefrans-Tann together with the already notorious General Grievous, many people think that General Grievous is better at overall strategic command, but in terms of the ability to command a battle and campaign, Grievous is far inferior to the former.
Until now, Galactic Republic Army is still discussing how to defeat Sefrans-Tann - yes, so far, she has never really failed on the battlefield!
Wilhuff-Tarkin knows very clearly that once he achieves this, it will be a huge improvement for his own political and military career. He will directly become the most popular general of Galactic Republic, and may even have the opportunity to go one step further and break the precedent and become the marshal of Galactic Republic!!
Ever since they understood that Dawn Star Planet would take the initiative to attack Eriadu, Wilhuff-Tarkin had been making preparations. He built Eriadu system into the strongest fortress and gathered an army.
He believes that with such a strong defensive force, there is every chance that Sefrans-Tann will suffer a big loss on his defense line!
Anyway, when he becomes famous, no one will care about the gap in military strength between the two sides when he defeated Sefrans-Tann. Under the deliberate publicity, everyone will only know that the final winner is him - Wilhuff-Tarkin!
Sefrans-Tann did take the initiative to launch the attack, Wilhuff-Tarkin immediately went to in person The command center on Eriadu satellite took command and gathered more than 300 warships near Talastra Planet, preparing to fight Sefrans-Tann.
However, the battle process was not as expected by Wilhuff-Tarkin. He found that Dawn Star Planet's fleet was almost alive!
Even when faced with a group of turrets installed on five satellites, Dawn Star Planet's fleet was not afraid at all. Under the command of Sefrans-Tann, Dawn Star Planet's fleet took advantage of its mobility, constantly harassed in detours, and then seized every opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Republic fleet!
Tarkin has used all his strength, using his numerically superior fleet countless times to engage in fleet decisive battles relying on the turret groups on the satellites.
Sefrans-Tann did give his fleet a chance for a decisive battle, but every time he took advantage of the shortcomings of the uneven quality of his warships, pulled the formation, so that Republic fleet could not take care of both the front and the tail, and then defeated them one by one!
And every time they fight, she seizes every opportunity to attack targets with high mobility such as Aquitenes-class light cruiser and Hunter Class Battlecruiser among Republic fleet. After killing these high-speed battleships, she slowly cuts through Republic fleet's formation with the high speed of her own battleship.
Tarkin also discovered that when Sefrans-Tann was commanding the fleet to fight, they did not mind rushing the warships directly up to engage in close combat. Although this will cause greater losses of personnel and warships, it does give her high-speed warships the opportunity to exert mobility and flexibility, and it can also effectively attack the small warships on Galactic Republic's side.
Although he knew it in his heart, Sefrans-Tann's fighter planes were very accurate, and they could find opportunities to attack his fleet every time. And even during the battle, every command she gave was full of profound meanings and interlocked with each other, often falling into her little traps inadvertently.
For example, some warships pursue the enemy fiercely during the battle, and then find themselves surrounded by other warships; for example, some warships constantly avoid local attacks, and then find that when facing the most deadly Kohl-class Battlecruiser, Hypermatter Railgun, they have no way to avoid it...
During the 10 days of Battle of Talastra Planet, Wilhuff-Tarkin was always passively beaten, and he was very desperate to find that after Sefrans-Tann eliminated the high-speed battleships in his fleet, the real targets were actually placed on those five satellites.
In Tarkin's view, Sefrans-Tann's behavior is more like killing all his high-speed battleships with a slap, and then saying don't bother me...
He regarded the other party as the only enemy he had ever seen in his life, but the other party just found him annoying. This feeling almost made Wilhuff-Tarkin vomit three liters of blood.
However, this also allowed Tarkin to truly see the gap between himself and his opponent...
No one can defeat Sefrans-Tann in a fleet battle!
Yeah?
"Then come! Tann! I'm right here! Eriadu! Can you break through my line of defense?" Wilhuff-Tarkin looked at the void of the universe and said to himself coldly.
In the distance, a burst of white light flashed, and then, two Hunter Class Battlecruiser escorted several transport ships arrived here. The transport ship immediately went to Eriadu satellite and began to unload the cargo, which was full of various supplies and weapons and equipment.
Reinforcements have arrived again.
"Stop shooting." On the other side of the galaxy, Sefrans-Tann gave the order, asking Kohl-class Battlecruiser to stop its meaningless attack on Eriadu.
"Yes." T-series tactical robot beside him immediately conveyed the order to other battleships.
She returned to her main seat, crossed her hands to support her chin, and looked at the star chart in deep thought without saying a word.
"Eriadu's supply line must be cut off, otherwise there will be no possibility of capturing this place." Ling Liang broke the silence and said from the side.
"You're right. It's as reasonable as saying that people will die if they don't breathe." Sefrans-Tann mocked.
"I have a plan, maybe I can try it." Ling Liang said lightly.
