2145 、 First Confrontation
Tang Yu stood on the bridge of the Venomfang Battleship with a solemn expression. He knew very well that although the Republic's fighter jets could not do anything to Poison Fang's energy shield, the other 20 Hunter-class cruisers were not just for show. The heavy turbolaser cannons installed on those cruisers were extremely powerful. Whenever they hit the energy shield, energy ripples would spread out.
Even if the 20 Hunter-class cruisers were spread out in formation, even if they could not concentrate their firepower on a single part of Poison Fang, it was only a matter of time before the energy shield was penetrated if they continued to attack! This battle had fallen into an extremely difficult situation from the very beginning due to the Republic's carelessness!
Tang Yu stared at the holographic map next to him. From the holographic projection, he could see that Poison Fang was surrounded by thousands of fighter jets. These fighter jets were clearly divided into three groups. Two of them were attacking the sides of Poison Fang, while the third group was larger in number and was attacking from the bottom.
Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on his lips. He waved his hand and shouted, "Aren't they looking for where our hangar platform is? Tell them now!! Relay my order!! All fighter jets take off immediately!! Swat all those flies at the bottom of the warship to death!! "
Following his order, the energy shield at the bottom of Poison Fang was immediately shut down. Boom boom boom!! The laser beams fired by the Republic fighter jets immediately exploded on the warship's body, but this level of attack was like scratching an itch through the boots against Poison Fang's incomparably thick armor! Then, from the bottom of the warship's armor, a bright blue line suddenly appeared. The line grew larger and thicker, and a huge open hatch gradually appeared.
Poison Fang actually had three places for fighter jets to take off and land. Two of them were behind the electromagnetic pulse cannons on both sides, used to take off and land transport planes. However, this place could not be used to take off and land fighter jets, because once the warship entered combat and the electromagnetic pulse cannons could open fire at any time, taking off and landing fighter jets from either side of the warship would be utter nonsense. In addition, the Independent Star System Confederacy's usual style was to build all sorts of illegal structures on top of their warships, and they were all oddly shaped. Therefore, Poison Fang's fighter platform was set up at the bottom of the warship for the first time!
In the incomparably huge hangar, countless Vulture robot fighters were neatly hung on the hangers, row after row, row after row, slightly swaying with the occasional tremors from the warship. After the hatch began to open, the sensors on the heads of these Vultures suddenly lit up with a pair of red eyes! Following that, the hangers were released, and the fighter jets immediately started their engines and flew towards outer space at high speed!
Row after row of Vulture fighter jets flew out of the hangar, instantly stunning the Republic fighter jets that were taking advantage of the lowered shields to attack Venom Fang!
Since the start of the battle, the pilots had been immersed in contending with Venom Fang's terrifying anti-air firepower and the sturdy deflector shield. They had completely forgotten about the enemy's carrier-based aircraft. Moreover, they did not expect that the hangar platform they had been searching for for a long time was actually located at the bottom of the warship!
Even so, the Jedi Masters Kitt Festus and Ace Koth, who were commanding the fighter jets, were also a little surprised. Although the unknown intelligence that was supposedly secretly sent to them by the Republic's upper echelons contained a lot of information about this super warship, there was no way they could have told them such details as the opening of the hangar platform! However, they were Jedi Masters after all. They immediately calmed down and issued a counterattack order!
"All fighter squadrons immediately pull away and engage in battle with four fighter formations! Bomber formation, continue to attack the warship's engines!! "Kitt Festus loudly ordered.
The clone pilots, who had been learning and training since they were embryos, had all their combat instincts imprinted in their bones. They might have been a little surprised at the start, but when the clear order was given, they immediately transformed into the most ferocious and professional killing machines! The 600 V-Wing fighter jets led by the two Jedi Masters immediately spread out, forming groups of four fighter jets and charging straight at the Vulture fighter jets.
An incomparably brutal aerial battle instantly unfolded!
From the Venom Fang's hangar, row after row of Vulture fighter jets neatly detached themselves from their hangers, started their engines, and spread out their wings as they began to attack the Republic fighter jets. For a moment, at the bottom of the Venom Fang's battleship, countless fighter jets were engaged in a fierce battle. Countless laser cannons, blaster cannons, and guided missiles kept firing!
…
At the same time, in another direction, on the side of the Venom Fang's battleship, Anakin had already flown to a distance of two to three thousand meters from the battleship. At this distance, he was a hundred percent confident that no anti-air firepower would be able to intercept the proton torpedo!
The anti-air firepower on the Venom Fang's battleship had obviously noticed Anakin, who dared to fly a fighter jet so close to the battleship. Instantly, more than ten turrets nearby immediately turned around and fired fiercely at the fighter jet Anakin was piloting! At such a close distance, the fired blaster beams would reach the fighter jets in the blink of an eye!
However, Anakin was not afraid at all. Powerful Force circulated within his body as he constantly sensed everything around him. The Force transmitted all the information around him to him. He could even see how each turret was preparing to fire, at what angle, and at what speed! Meanwhile, he was maneuvering the ship at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, freely weaving through the hail of bullets!
When he was very close to the Venom Fang's battleship, Anakin pressed a button, and a proton torpedo was immediately fired! It dragged a long trail of blue plasma as it shot towards the warship! At such a close distance, even if the proton torpedo's flying speed was not fast, it could never be intercepted by close-range firepower!
Almost at the same time the torpedo was fired, an intense sense of danger suddenly filled Anakin's mind. His expression abruptly changed as he instantly realized that the danger came from the proton torpedo he had just fired! Without thinking too much, he immediately revved the fighter jet's engine to the max, turned around, and flew at high speed in the other direction! At this moment, the proton torpedo suddenly exploded!! Without hitting any target, it exploded!
A light blue proton cloud instantly exploded, spreading a destructive aura in all directions! Fortunately, Anakin's reaction was extremely fast. He was about to fly out of the explosion range of the proton torpedo! However, at that moment, an even more terrifying situation occurred. The Delta-7 fighter jet he was piloting suddenly slowed down! It was not because of any additional burden, but because the engine had automatically reduced its output! Not only that, the fighter jet's energy shield had suddenly shut down, leaving it exposed to the proton torpedo's explosion!
“R-2！ Check the situation of the fighter jet immediately! R-2！！” Anakin hurriedly yelled. At the same time, he suddenly felt a different kind of power from the Force! This power did not seem to be the Force, but it was somewhat similar! It was this power that caused his spaceship to have an anomaly!
However, the usually highly efficient R-2 did not give him any response this time. Its hemispherical head kept spinning beside Anakin's cockpit. At that moment, the slowing down fighter jet was about to be hit by the spreading proton cloud!
"Bastard! What the hell is this! " Anakin roared. He did not care what the other party was. He just mobilized all his Force and fought with this power for control of the fighter jet!
"Ahhhhh!" Anakin's voice was almost roaring. Finally, the moment the explosion swept over, the fighter jet's energy shield system was instantly activated!
Rumble ~ ~ ~ Creak creak creak ~ ~ Anakin could only hear his fighter jet wailing, but under the protection of the energy shield, it finally survived the explosion. It was also thanks to his quick reaction just now that he had flown away in the first instance and put some distance between himself and the explosion that he was not directly caught in the center of the explosion.
At the same time, on the bridge of the Venomfang battleship, Tang Yu's eyes were cold as he looked at the projection of the Delta-7 fighter jet in front of him. He slowly raised his hand and wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.
