968, Battle of Tibrin
Boom! boom!! A large number of plasma grenades continued to fall from the sky, and then set off waves of terrible explosions on the ground.
Under this powerful fire bombardment, the temporary Deflector Shield set up by Republic clone troopers was immediately blown to pieces, and the E-WEB blaster machine gun protected by the shield was also blown up.
"Be careful! It's Siege Tank!" A Clone Trooper just shouted, and the next second he was drowned by artillery fire. The violent explosion blew him up more than ten meters high, and his body was torn into several pieces by the powerful energy.
"Damn it! Where is the AT-TE!! We need firepower for counter-suppression!" A clone frontline Commander with a blue armband said loudly.
"There's no AT-TE! There's nothing left!" Another soldier on the side almost shouted in Commander's face, and raised his hand to point to the sky.
This Commander raised his head and saw only five light frigates more than 30 meters long and stubby in the sky flying by. At this moment, more than 20 Galactic Republic V-19 Torrent light fighters flew over from a distance.
However, at this moment, two missile launchers suddenly unfolded in front of these light frigates, and then eight missiles were instantly launched. These eight missiles split again in the air, and then exploded directly in the airspace ahead of them into a huge explosion zone several kilometers wide!
Boom boom boom boom~~~~!!!
The firepower coverage of the five frigates directly covered almost the entire combat airspace. Those Galactic Republic fighter jets were directly destroyed by the dense explosion before they even had time to dodge!
The remnants of the explosion and the burning wreckage of the Galactic Republic fighter seemed to be raining fire on the horizon, colorful, but full of the desolation of death.
This scenery almost stunned the clone Commander...
But then he felt a huge force pulling him behind the ruins aside, and almost in the next second, boom boom boom!!!
More than a dozen rockets appeared out of thin air, and then plowed the entire place where he was just to the ground! The Shale and sand splashed down by the explosion fell, smashing them into disgrace.
"Commander, now is not the time to be dazed!" The person who saved this Commander was none other than Anakin-Skywalker. He pointed at the sky and said loudly, "What do you think these Valkyrie frigates are doing in the air? They are just covering their Banshee Fighters!"
The clone Commander finally came to his senses and looked at the sky. Three Banshee Fighter had just exited the stealth system and sped away.
At this time, Torrent company commander Captain Rex, who was with Anakin, patted Commander on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Captain Dudley, we still need your company to stabilize this position here!"
"Damn it! My team was scattered by the bombing just now!" Captain Dudley immediately rushed out again, calling his scattered soldiers to regroup during the communication.
boom! boom! boom!! The sound of explosions was still heard. Looking at the plasma balls falling in the sky, Anakin-Skywalker said solemnly, "No, these Siege Tank must be killed!"
He shouted into the comm, "Ahsoka! Ahsoka! Where are you now?!"
"Master! Master Roan-Shryne was shot down just now! I'm rushing over to provide support!" Ahsoka-Tano's urgent voice came from the communication.
Normally she would always call Anakin 'Skywalker' if the situation wasn't that bad, but now she couldn't care less about joking.
Anakin was surprised, "What did you say? The fighter formation that was destroyed just now was led by Master Roan?"
"That's right! He was fighting a fighter jet piloted by Dark Jedi Knight at high altitude!" Ahsoka-Tano said loudly. Gunshots and explosions could also be heard from the communication. It was obvious that the battle was very fierce. "By the way, what can I do for you? Master!"
"No more, please rescue Master Roan as soon as possible." Anakin finished speaking, turned off the communication, and then said to Captain Rex who was standing aside, "It seems that we have to rely on ourselves. We need to launch a surprise attack and kill those Siege Tank!"
"But is there any plan? This Siege Tank is very maneuverable. It can complete the recovery work within 10 seconds and enter the marching posture to maneuver quickly. What's even more shameless is that this tank also has strong firepower in the marching posture... Didn't we also launch a surprise attack yesterday? But they still ran away." Captain Rex said.
"Dawn Star Planet's military technology is even higher than our Galactic Republic's in many places..." Anakin-Skywalker said. He opened the holographic map and pointed at the map that was constantly flashing and changing the situation. " We only have one chance... first let our defense line retreat completely, and then rush over to destroy them when Siege Tank deploys forward again! The only weakness of Siege Tank is that its range is not as good as the AT-TE's heavy howitzer."
"This is too risky, General. Now we have almost no retreat. Nitta Acclamator-class assault ship is 5 kilometers behind us, and the warship has not yet restored power. And once this warship is destroyed and loses the supplies on it, I think we will starve to death on this Tibrin sooner or later." Rex said.
"So I said, this is our only chance." Anakin said.
Captain Rex stared at him for two seconds, then nodded heavily, opened the communication and said, "Captain Dudley, immediately command your people to abandon the current position and retreat! There are also Saber Company, Turret Company, Shield Company... retreat at the same time!"
"Yes!"
Anakin said to Rex, "Okay, everyone is hiding!!"
The Torrent company soldiers immediately hid in the ruins, crawling on the ground to hide.
Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the constant roar of explosions from the position gradually stopped and was replaced by more intensive gunfire.
Dawn Star Planet provides the unique Company Three gunshot of the past V-15 Defender assault rifle. It is obvious that after discovering that the Galactic Republic soldiers retreated, those Ishi-Tibu people cooperated with the robot army to launch an assault.
"Platoon E, immediately move 10 meters to the 7 o'clock direction... Platoon B, move back to the 6 o'clock direction and make way for the abandoned house..." Anakin-Skywalker kept giving such instructions in the communication.
Under the Force's foresight, he actually sensed the time and area where these Clone Trooper hiding places would be discovered, and then asked Clone Trooper to avoid them in advance.
The sound of footsteps and engines could be heard all around, and the sound of gunshots was getting very close.
The Ishi-Tibu army passed by here, and they didn't even notice that there were more than 100 clone warriors hiding under their noses!
"Not enough... not enough..." Anakin-Skywalker was still mumbling to himself, "This still won't succeed."
Suddenly, his ears moved slightly and he heard a different engine sound. He whispered, "It's Vulture Vehicle! 12 cars! Listen, I have a new plan!"
"What's the plan..."
Before Rex finished speaking, he saw Anakin-Skywalker suddenly jumped up, and at the same time opened Lightsaber in mid-air and made a sudden stroke! At this moment, a Vulture Vehicle drove past at high speed, and the Lightsaber in Anakin's hand just passed through the driver's neck, directly cutting off his head!
The out-of-control Vulture Vehicle suddenly hit the wall next to it. Fortunately, these high-speed Chariot have safety systems that will automatically slow down without driver control, so they did not crash into pieces.
At the same time, other Clone Trooper also stood up from their hiding places and fired at the Vulture Vehicle that had just passed through them.
Clone Trooper is extremely capable and responds very quickly. He understood Anakin's idea in an instant and came to cooperate immediately. Moreover, their marksmanship was very accurate. All the drivers driving Vulture Vehicle were killed, and only 3 vehicles were destroyed in the process!
Anakin-Skywalker has already ridden one of Vulture Vehicle and said, "This is the new plan! Only in this way can we break through Separatists's front!"
Rex nodded, also jumped on a Vulture Vehicle, nodded to a few people and said, "It's just you, let's go! Others, move forward covertly, looking for opportunities to respond!"
"Yes!"
More than a dozen Clone Trooper 2 people Group One, driving Vulture Vehicle with full power, galloped towards the rear of the Ixi-Tibu people's front.
Along the way, Anakin-Skywalker constantly adjusted their route to avoid the Ixi-Tibu soldiers coming to intercept them. At the same time, he also determined the area where Siege Tank was located through Force lock!
Just ahead, the roar of the engine is very close!
Anakin turned the motor to the maximum, then drove Vulture Vehicle and crashed into a ruined wall. Behind it, there was the huge figure of a Siege Tank!
Vulture Vehicle suddenly collided with Siege Tank at close range. One second before the impact, Anakin had already stood up, and Lightsaber in his hand instantly cut off the barrel of Siege Tank!
While he was still in the air, he had already raised his hand. Under the agitation of the powerful the Force, all the fired bullets and Blaster Beam were bounced away! Then he fell to the ground and transformed into a Blitz that shuttled between several Siege Tanks, killing all the Ishi-Tibu soldiers around the tank.
Other Clone Trooper also began to fight with the defenders guarding these Siege Tank. Under such a deliberate and unintentional raid, those Ixi-Tibu people were beaten to a pulp by just a dozen Clone Trooper.
At the same time, Torrent company's soldiers who were not on board Vulture Vehicle also took advantage of the chaos caused by Anakin and them to launch an attack on Separatist army. Not only them, but other companies that were retreating also turned around decisively and launched a counterattack when they found that Separatist army was in some confusion and some people were retreating while others were at a loss.
Anakin-Skywalker successfully destroyed 8 Siege Tank, which greatly reduced the defensive pressure in this direction. At the same time, Ahsoka-Tano also rescued the downed masters Roan-Shryne and came to join them.
Clone Trooper re-stabilized the line. After the brutal and bloody battle continued for another day, the Nitta Acclamator-class assault ship behind them, which was heavily damaged and forced to land, finally regained its power. Clone Trooper began to shrink the defense line in an orderly manner and retreated into the battleships.
21BB, May 11, Galaxy Republic 41st Storm Legion and 501st Legion fully retreated from Tibrin.
In this bloody battle, Galactic Republic paid the price of more than 20,000 Clone Trooper deaths. 501st Legion and the 41st Storm Legion also suffered heavy losses, and the losses on Separatists's side were even more severe.
Facts have proved that courage cannot close the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides, especially when the robot army was temporarily shut down by the nanovirus. Although the Ixi-Tibu people mobilized a million troops to attack Clone Army's front, they also achieved good results, forcing Republic army to retreat continuously.
But their casualties in this battle were 140,000!
This astonishing battle loss ratio was achieved in the later stages of the battle, when Valkyrie frigate came to reinforce and Separatists occupied the air superiority.
This shows how powerless the ordinary conscripted soldiers on these planets are when faced with super soldiers like Clone Trooper, who have been trained from embryonic stage with the goal of killing machines...
However, despite the heavy losses, Tibrin finally got rid of the rule of Galactic Republic. Dark Followers of Count Dooku, Sola-Balk, as agents of Planet Governor, began to assist Tibrin in establishing a formal planetary government.
And with the failure of Battle of Tibrin, Galactic Republic also lost the possibility of threatening Fourth Civilization fleet gathered in Dolla Planet and Gerrenthum Planet from the side and rear, allowing Fourth Civilization's fleet to concentrate all its forces in the direction of Eriadu.
However, this cruel battle left an indelible shadow in the hearts of the 41st Storm Legion soldiers. 41st Storm Legion soldiers who participated in this battle dyed their hair red and then shaved it into a unique double-striped hairstyle to commemorate Battle of Tibrin.
The cruel war is still going on...
However, at the same time, Republic Capital Coruscant was far away from the battlefield.
There was a crisp sound, and two exquisite crystal wine glasses touched together gently. The lavender precious wine in the wine glasses rippled with the impact, and exuded a charming aroma of wine.
"You are still so charming, Miss Padmé. The war did not take away your youth and beauty from you, you are still the intoxicating lady..." Rush-Clovis micro Smiling, he said to Padmé-Amidala sitting in front of him, "But just 10 minutes ago, I was worried that your purpose of inviting me to dinner was to put me on the table and eat me alive."
"Hehehehe... you are still so funny, Clovis." His humor made Padmé-Amidala laugh out loud. Although the two have broken up for more than a year, Padmé has to admit that Clovis is indeed a very good man.
But now her heart has been filled with another dazzling man, and she can no longer tolerate anyone else.
