2089 、 Battle of Christophsis (Part 2)
Seeing that the Republic fleet had started to turn around, the fleet of the Independent Star System Confederation immediately accelerated. They no longer held their positions but gave chase at full speed!
Not only that, they also launched a second wave of fighter jets. More than 300 Vulture fighter jets escorting more than 70 Aardwolf fighter jets took off from the donut-shaped hangar platform of the Rukrihouk-class battleship and chased after the Republic fleet at high speed. This time, they brought along the Aardwolf fighter jets. Their intention could not be more obvious. They wanted to beat the Republic fleet while it was down!
The Aardwolf fighter jet was a variant of the Vulture fighter jet. It also had an insect-like disc-shaped body and adjustable wings. Its wings could transform into four chelicerae and allow it to walk on land. When it took off, it would shrink into a pair of wings equipped with weapons. Compared to the slender wings of the Vulture fighter jet, the wings of the Aardwolf fighter jet were thicker and were equipped with proton torpedoes and impact missiles to attack large targets.
Under the attack of the Confederation fleet, the cruiser Lightning and the cruiser Iceberg, which were at the forefront of the formation and had been heavily damaged before, were instantly targeted. As the cruiser Lightning's engine was damaged, it was entangled by the fighter jets that rushed up. Although the clone pilots who piloted the V-wing fighter jets fought with all their might, they could not reverse the situation.
After more than 30 Vulture fighter jets cleared the point defense turrets on the cruiser, more than 10 Aardwolf fighter jets immediately flew over and fired a volley of proton torpedoes and impact missiles. They also opened the cockpit and dropped several rocket-propelled proton bombs!
"The shield has been penetrated! The point defense turrets have all been disabled! "
"Engine output has dropped to 20%! The energy storage is on fire! Where is the damage control team?! "
"They are in the H41 compartment! And this compartment is now outside of space! "Messy communications continued to come in. The tragic situation inside the cruiser Lightning was obvious.
Continuous explosions exploded on the cruiser Lightning. The cruiser could no longer maintain a stable sailing position. The artificial gravity system had been destroyed, and all the people in the warship were floating. In a gravity-free state, it made it even more difficult for them to move. Fortunately, the cruiser Lightning had a good design and strong structure. Under such attacks, it did not disintegrate!
Seeing that his warship had almost lost its combat power, the captain decisively ordered to turn around and charge at the Confederation fleet. He used the remaining two or three turbolaser cannons on the warship to open fire. The fire control system had been destroyed, and the clone soldiers could only aim manually!
Finally, the cruiser Lightning could no longer hold on. It was continuously hit by the turbolasers fired by a Heaven-class cruiser. After a series of violent explosions, it finally disintegrated into countless parts.
On the other side, the cruiser Ice was quite lucky. On the other side, the cruiser Iceberg of the Iceberg. the cruiser was under the cover. With Lightning's desperate defense, the cruiser of Iceberg was was heavily damaged by the enemy cannons. In order to cover the retreat of the fleet, Admiral Rulf Yularen ordered another wave of V-wing fighter jets to take off. Coupled with the Republic fleet's superiority in both quantity and quality, the situation was stabilized and they began to rally.
"Fleet, one" Two three fighter jets, Iceberg fighter jets, 1 of 3, "One of Two," One Six fighter jets., "I," Commander, "I," Yin Two of, "Two three.," Three War, "I, I three three three three, I Seven fighter jets., one three., I one., one, the three. two of., and. It's my fault. I've learned a lesson in blood this time. "
Admiral Woolf Yularen patted him on the shoulder. "You can't be blamed for this. I, too, underestimated the enemy. "The enemy's commander is obviously an expert in interstellar warfare. Be it the movement of the warships, the distribution of firepower, the formation of the fighter jets, and the timing of the attack, everything was perfect. It's definitely not the T-series combat droids that the Separatists often use, or those incompetent Neimoidian generals! "
As he spoke, he stroked his chin and continued, "And this formation, this iron barrel-like defense, and the way the fighter squadron uses it … it feels very familiar … No, that's not possible … he's clearly dead!"
"Who are you talking about?" Am Anakin asked.
"The Separatist Navy Admiral, Trench, known as the Master Tactician! I lost to him in the Battle of Malastar, and the formation of the fleet in that battle is exactly the same as what we're seeing now! But then the Jedi Master Cape Shea sacrificed himself, taking his flagship down with him … "Admiral Yularen said.
"Then, what if he's not dead, and has returned?"
Yularen's eyes flashed with a hint of unease. "Then we might be facing a huge problem!"
Anakin Skywalker thought for a moment, and was about to speak when he suddenly received a transmission. "Anakin, how's the progress on your side? I've led the 212th Assault Squadron to support you. "
Seeing the middle-aged man in the holographic image, Anakin Skywalker immediately shouted in excitement. "Obi-Wan Kenobi! You're not dead! "He waved his fists in the air, venting the excitement in his heart.
"It's a long story, but I've come back alive from the hell that is Jabim. Let's not waste any more time. Senator Bell Organa can't hold on much longer! We need to send reinforcements to Planet Kristovsis as soon as possible! "Obi-Wan Kenobi said.
Seeing that his mentor was still alive, Anakin Skywalker's unease was swept away. That sense of irritation disappeared without a trace, as if he had found his backbone. He roused himself and said in a deep voice, "The Separatists' defensive line is very solid. We've just launched our first wave of attacks, and the situation isn't looking good. One Hunter Class Cruiser has been destroyed, one has lost its ability to fight, and three are heavily damaged. We've lost six squadrons of space warships, and more than 80 of them. "
"Looks like the situation isn't looking good," Obi-Wan said, stroking his beard.
"But don't worry, a few of the other party's warships have also suffered serious damage. The difference in our military strength isn't something that can be made up for with a simple formation. I already have a good plan to defeat the enemy! "Anakin said.
"Then wait for a moment. Other than bringing four fully loaded Acolytes, I've also brought two Hunter Class Cruisers to escort you. I'll let the Landing Ships meet up with the ones you've set up at the rear, and then come over here. I have a gift for you, "Obi-Wan said.
Anakin smiled knowingly. "Then I'll wait for you to come over before launching an all-out attack!"
…
At the same time, on the bridge of the Independent Star System Confederation's flagship, the Rukri Hook-class Battleship.
"As expected of the famous general that Tang Yu couldn't stop praising. Watching you command the battle is a pleasure," Immortal Fox complimented Admiral Trench.
She was speaking from the bottom of her heart. Just now, she had witnessed Admiral Trench's art of command. His commands were meticulous, decisive, and targeted. Even when he was commanding, he was very familiar with the firepower arrangement of the dozen or so warships. He constantly adjusted the formation to maximize the firepower, allowing the warships' energy shields to withstand the firepower evenly.
Furthermore, the formation, distribution, and timing of the fighter squadrons were all just right. Under his command, those rigid robots seemed to have come to life. Coupled with the cooperation of the human soldiers of the Guardian Planet, the Confederation Fleet, which was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, actually caused the Republic Fleet to return in defeat!
Hearing Immortal Fox's compliment, Admiral Trench was also a little proud. He twirled the chelicerae at the corner of his mouth like he was twirling his beard, nodded, and said, "That being said, this is also the best I can do. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. We've also suffered minor damage to two Generosity class frigates and two Defiant class destroyers, and we've lost 150 Vulture fighters. If the Republic launches another attack, we won't be able to stop them. "
