Chapter 2089: The Battle of Christophsis (Part 2)

2089. The Battle of Christophsis (Part 2)

Seeing that the fleet of the Republic started to turn around, the fleet of the Confederation of Independent Galaxies immediately accelerated. They no longer held their positions firmly, but started to pursue them at full speed!

Not only that, they also took off the second wave of fighters, only to see more than 300 vulture robot fighters escorting more than 70 coyote robot bombers take off from the donut-like hangar platform of the Rookie Hook class battleship , and pursued at high speed towards the Republic Fleet. This time they brought the coyote bomber, and their intention couldn't be more obvious, that is to beat the dog in the water! !

The Coyote bomber is a variant of the Condor, also featuring an insect-like saucer-shaped fuselage and variable wings. Its wings can transform into four chelicerae and can walk on land, and when it takes off, it shrinks into wings equipped with weapons. Compared to the slender wings of the Condor, the Coyote Bomber has thicker wings and is equipped with proton torpedoes and shock missiles to attack large targets.

Under the attack of the Confederate fleet, the cruisers Lightning and Iceberg, which were at the forefront of the formation and had been severely damaged before, were immediately attacked intensively. The cruiser Lightning was entangled by the rushing fighter jets because its engine was damaged. Although the clone pilots flying the v-wing fighters fought desperately, they still couldn't save the defeat.

After more than 30 vulture robot fighters cleared the point defense turrets on the cruiser, more than 10 coyote robot bombers flew over immediately, proton torpedoes and impact missiles fired a volley, and opened the cabin and dropped several rockets. Push the proton bomb!

"The shield has been penetrated! All point defense turrets are paralyzed!"

"The engine output has dropped to 20%! The energy tank is on fire! Where is the damage control team?!"

"They're in compartment h41! And this compartment is now outside space!!" The messy communications kept coming, and the tragedy inside the Blitzkrieg-class cruiser was evident.

Continuous explosions exploded from the Lightning cruiser, and the battleship could no longer maintain a stable sailing attitude. The artificial gravity system was destroyed, and all the personnel in the battleship floated up, making their actions even more difficult in a zero-gravity state. Fortunately, the Jaeger-class cruiser has a good design and a solid structure, and the Lightning did not disintegrate under such an attack!

Seeing that his battleship had almost lost its combat effectiveness, the captain decisively ordered to turn around and rush towards the Confederate fleet, using the only two or three turbolaser cannons left on the battleship to fire desperately. The fire control system had been destroyed. Those clone soldiers Just aim manually!

Finally, the cruiser Lightning could no longer hold on, and was continuously hit by the turbo lasers fired by a Providence-class cruiser that rushed up, and finally disintegrated and dispersed in bursts of violent explosions.

became countless parts.

On the other side, the Iceberg was lucky. Under the desperate cover of the Lightning, although the cruiser Iceberg was also severely damaged by the opponent's artillery fire, it finally drove back staggeringly. In order to cover the retreat of the fleet, Admiral Woolf-Ularen ordered another wave of V-wing fighter jets to take off. Coupled with the fact that the Republic Fleet itself possesses quantitative and qualitative advantages, it stabilized the situation and began to revive.

Anakin-Skywalker looked at the tragic battle situation, his chest heaved violently, his hands were tightly clenched, and he tried his best to calm himself down, took a deep breath and said: "It was my decision-making error, I didn't expect us to Relying on the advantage of the force to attack, the opponent was actually beaten back. This is my fault, and I have learned the lesson of blood this time."

Admiral Woolf-Ularen patted him on the shoulder and said: "I can't blame you this time, I also underestimated the enemy. The commander of the opponent is obviously a master of commanding interstellar warfare, whether it is the movement of the battleship position, firepower The distribution of the fighters, as well as the formation and attack timing of the fighters, are all well-planned. It is definitely not the T-series tactical robots commonly used by the separatists, or the level that those ignorant Neimoidian generals can do!"

As he spoke, he rubbed his chin, and continued: "And this formation, this iron barrel-like defense, and the use of fighter squadrons for attacking after strikes... I feel very familiar... No, it's unlikely... He has clearly Dead!"

"Who are you talking about?" Anakin asked.

"The separatist admiral, Trench known as the master of tactics!! I lost to him in the battle of Marathal, and the fleet layout of that battle was exactly the same as the one before us! But Then Jedi Master Kemp Xie sacrificed himself and died with his flagship..." Admiral Yularen said.

"So, what if he didn't die, and came back?"

A trace of anxiety flashed in Yularen's eyes, "Then maybe we will face big trouble!"

Anakin-Skywalker thought for a while, and was about to speak when suddenly a communication came in, "Anakin, how is your progress? I will lead the 212th Attack Regiment to support you."

Seeing the middle-aged uncle in the holographic image, Anakin Skywalker suddenly shouted excitedly: "Obi-Wan Kenobi!! You are not dead!!" He violently waved his fist, venting The excitement and excitement in my heart.

"It's a long story, but I finally came back alive from the hell of Planet Jabim. Gossip aside, Senator Bail Organa can't hold on any longer! We need to send reinforcements to Christophsis as soon as possible planet!" said Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Seeing that his mentor was still alive, the uneasiness in Anakin Skywalker's heart was instantly swept away, and the restlessness also disappeared without a trace, as if he had a backbone right away. He cheered up, and said in a deep voice: "The separatists' line of defense is very solid. We launched the first wave of offensive just now, and the situation is not good. One hunter-class cruiser was destroyed, one lost combat power, and three were severely damaged. Interstellar The fighter jets lost six squadrons, more than 80 aircraft."

"It looks really bad," Obi-Wan said, stroking his beard.

"But don't worry, several warships on the other side have also been seriously damaged, and the gap in our strength is by no means an iron barrel formation can even out. I already have a good plan to defeat the enemy!" Anakin said.

"Then wait a moment, in addition to the four fully loaded Cheer-class assault landing ships, I also have two Jaeger-class cruiser escorts. I will first let the landing ship join the landing ship you arranged at the rear , and then come to you again, I have a present for you," Obi-Wan said.

Anakin smiled knowingly, "Then I'll wait until you come over before launching a general attack!"

...

At the same time, the Confederate Fleet of the Independent Galaxy, the flagship Rookie Hook-class battleship on the bridge.

"It's really worthy of being the famous general Tang Yu is full of praise for. Watching you command the battle is simply a kind of enjoyment." Fox Immortal complimented General Trench.

She was telling the truth. Just now, she saw Admiral Trench's commanding art on the spot. His command is meticulous, decisive, and targeted. Even when commanding, he was familiar with the firepower layout of these dozen or so warships, constantly adjusting the formation, and on the basis of maximizing the firepower, let several sets of deflector shields of the battleship bear the firepower evenly.

Moreover, the formation, distribution and attack time of the fighter squadron are all just right. Under his command, those rigid robots seemed to come alive. Coupled with the cooperation of the human soldiers on the guardian planet, the Confederate Fleet, which was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, actually made the Republic Fleet come back with a feather! !

Hearing the fox fairy's compliment, Admiral Trench was also a little proud, he twisted the chelicera at the corner of his mouth like twisting a beard, nodded and said: "That being said, this is the limit of what I can do , tsk tsk tsk. We also suffered minor damage to two Generosity-class frigates and two Disobedient-class destroyers, and lost 150 Condor fighters. If the Republic attacks again, we cannot stop it."
