Chapter 2088: The Battle of Christophesis (2)
2088, Battle of Christophsis (Part 2)
Among the Republic Assault Fleet, Anakin Skywalker was on the bridge of the flagship, staring intently at the Confederate Fleet of Independent Systems ahead.
"The army that invaded Christophsis this time also came from the Guardian Planet?" Anakin turned around and asked.
"Yes, Guardian Planet." Republic Admiral Woolf Yularen, standing next to him, nodded and said.
"I must avenge the planet Jabim!" Anakin's eyes flashed with hatred, and his eyes were even a little bloodshot. Just a week ago, he had just experienced the planet Jabim.
The tragic defeat, the bodies of dozens of fellow Jedi Knights seemed to be still in front of them.
This bloody fiasco left an extremely deep impression on the young Jedi Knight. He should have been complacent and high-spirited, but the Guardian Planet immediately taught him a hard lesson. Although Master Yoda repeatedly told him that failure
It is inevitable that one will grow only after experiencing failure, but Anakin still cannot accept it in his heart. He cannot accept that the price of his growth is so bloody.
However, in comparison, the encouragement given to him by the respected Speaker Palpatine made him feel more relieved. The Speaker told him to stand up wherever he fell. Since it was the Guardian Planet that gave him a defeat, then
You must let your anger become your own strength and trample the guardian planet under your feet. This is growth.
Admiral Wulf-Yularen looked at Anakin with some worry and said: "Don't let anger dominate your heart, General Skywalker."
Anakin looked back at him and said word for word: "The last time I heard this sentence was on the planet Jabim."
Admiral Yularen sighed lightly, turned to the clone operator in front and said: "The opponent's warships are not many in number. All the ships are arranged in an inverted triangle formation. Let's take advantage of our firepower to break their blockade first!
Then cover the space fighter planes to destroy the opponent's Rookery Hook-class battleship!"
"No! We should rush up as quickly as possible, take advantage of our battleships, and destroy them all immediately!" Anakin raised his hand to stop Yularen and said loudly.
"This is too reckless! The Rookery Hook-class battleship's firepower is very powerful, which will cause us to suffer unnecessary losses." Colonel Yularen shook his head.
"We don't have time to waste time here with the Separatist fleet! Every minute that passes, the people on the planet Christophsis will suffer one more minute! Thousands of innocent people will fall.
Under the butcher's knife of the separatists!" Anakin said sternly, "Send the order! The whole ship moves forward at the fastest speed! Directly break into the opponent's fleet for 50 kilometers and then take off the fighter planes!"
Admiral Yularen could only nod. The current Grand Republic Army has such a dual system of command, but in fact, with the transcendent status of the Jedi Order, they are the real decision-makers in many cases. Even if Yularen is an admiral,
, and Anakin is just a Jedi Knight.
Following Anakin Skywalker's order, the particle flow ejected from the thrusters at the tail of the 20 Jaeger-class cruisers suddenly increased, emitting a dazzling light, and then, under the powerful propulsion of the super-matter engine, they began to move towards
Rushing ahead at high speed.
The opponent's fleet still held its position motionless, and the Rookery Hook-class battleship also began to rotate slowly. When the distance between the two sides approached about 200 kilometers, the battleships on both sides opened fire in unison! The bright turbine laser beam pulled
Shoot out a long strip of light towards the opponent's warship!
Destructive laser beams continuously hit the battleship, but they were all blocked by the battleship's powerful deflector shield. In front of the battleship, when the deflector shield was activated, waves of energy ripples were emitted. Proton torpedoes and concussion missiles also
The missiles were launched densely, and the close-defense turrets on the battleship also locked on these incoming missiles under the control of the advanced fire control system and began to intercept. Near the battleship, the destroyed missiles set off violent explosions, but this kind of sacrifice
The explosion cannot threaten the deflector shield, but only makes the battlefield more tragic.
The Rookery Hook-class battleship fired with its powerful turbolaser cannon while rotating. The laser beams were fired out like raindrops, pouring towards the Republic fleet. The firepower of this battleship alone was comparable to that of two or three Jaegers.
-class cruiser! And during such a confrontation, the warships of the Confederation of Independent Systems constantly adjusted their positions, allowing the warships whose deflector shields were severely damaged to hide behind and recharge.
And the most terrifying thing is that those Vulture robot fighters that have taken off will even actively block in front of their own warships to block the turbo laser beams launched by the Republic warships! Soon more than 100 fighter jets were destroyed by the gunfire of the Jaeger-class cruiser.
But this also means that more than 100 powerful turbo laser beams did not hit their original targets!
However, the Republic Chasseur-class cruiser, which was advancing at maximum speed, could only rely on its own deflector shield to withstand the opponent's firepower. It was completely a tragic way of exchanging injuries for injuries with the Confederate fleet!
"The Lightning cruiser's shield was penetrated and the front armor was hit!"
"The shield of the cruiser Iceberg has been penetrated and the main gun has been destroyed!" The messenger kept reporting the battle situation. Anakin looked at the screen and only saw that the shields of the three cruisers in the front as arrows had been penetrated, and the turbo laser
Constantly hitting the hull of the cruiser, a large amount of flames spurted out from the hit place, and then extinguished in the cold universe.
Admiral Wolf-Yularen said loudly: "This cannot continue! Even if we can break through the opponent's blockade, we will suffer heavy losses! If the separatists still have reinforcements, we will be surrounded!!"
However, Anakin asked in a deep voice to the clone trooper operating the sensor next to him: "What's the distance between the two sides now?"
“107 kilometers!”
"The opponent's fighter jets did not rush up, but kept surrounding their own battleship! They must be waiting for us to take off their fighter jets! As long as our fighter jets cannot threaten the Rookery Hook-class battleship, then with the firepower of this battleship
, we will receive an even heavier blow!" Admiral Yularen said loudly.
Anakin glared and shouted sternly: "The first wave of fighter squadrons is taking off! The Y-wing bomber unit is temporarily on standby!"
The hangar landing platform on the top of the Jaeger-class cruiser immediately unfolded, and hundreds of V-wing fighter jets took off immediately! However, only the warships of the Confederate fleet were seen immediately firing at the top of these cruisers. Those who had just taken off had not yet reached their fastest speed.
The V-wing fighter jets were unable to escape, and more than 20 of them were destroyed immediately!
Boom!! A V-wing fighter that was hit by artillery fire lost control, drew an arc in the air and flew towards the hangar platform. Although the clone pilot inside desperately tried to stabilize the fighter, he still could not
This prevented the fighter plane from crashing into two other fighters that were waiting to take off on the platform. Boom! Boom! The burning fighter jet detonated the ammunition and aviation fuel piled on the deck. After a series of explosions, the entire aircraft of the cruiser was destroyed.
The library platform suddenly fell into a sea of fire!
"The hangar platform of the cruiser Thunder caught fire, the top deflector shield failed, and it temporarily lost its combat capability!" the messenger said loudly to Anakin.
At this moment, seeing the chaos in the fighter formations of the Republic fleet, the vulture robot fighters surrounding the Rookery Hook-class battleship immediately rushed towards this side like vultures smelling the smell of rotting meat.
Come up!
"Retreat!! We can't take a remnant of our troops to support the planet Christophsis!!" Admiral Wolf-Yularen said loudly.
Anakin Skywalker nodded gloomily. With his approval, the Republic fleet immediately began to turn, and the V-wing fighters that had successfully taken off also bravely rushed towards the Confederate fleet, using their lives to help their warships escape from the battlefield.
