2180, the final period of Tarkinism (Part 1)

"Captain! The opponent's fighter jets are behaving strangely. They seem to want to get closer at any cost!" the radar soldier said loudly.

The captain looked at the screen in front of him, and sure enough he could see that those vulture robot fighters were not interested in fighting at all. They did not entangle with the clone's V-wing fighters, but just frantically approached the battleship. He couldn't help but frown, "What they want to do

What? The battleship’s shield hasn’t been penetrated yet, do you still want to hit it?”

He thought for a while and then said: "Let all the fighter jets form a circular array and don't let these vulture fighters get close! In addition, the warships will temporarily stop supporting the ground and concentrate their firepower to destroy the invading fighter jets!"

The firepower of the point defense turrets on the two Jaeger-class cruisers and the two Cheer-class assault landing ships became more and more fierce, and the thousands of fighter jets around them also bite every incoming Vulture robot fighter. Because now

As Republic forces landed, they also occupied a large number of airfields, and these aircraft could now take off directly from the airfields, without being limited by the throughput of the battleship's own hangar landing platform.

With the close firepower of four warships and the cover of 1,000 fighter jets, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is impossible for a mere 400 Vulture robot fighters to pose any threat to the warships!

However, an accident happened! Just when the Confederacy's Vulture robot fighter fleet finally approached less than one kilometer away from the Republic battleship after suffering heavy losses, suddenly, a burst of terror suddenly erupted from the stern of one of the Jaeger-class cruisers.

The explosion! Boom! Boom! This explosion also produced a large number of blue proton clouds, which continued to annihilate the surrounding material. It was a proton torpedo!!

With just one blow, the battleship's shield was penetrated and the outer armor was damaged! Because there were no enemy aircraft behind the battleship, the battleship operators naturally did not allocate too much energy to the deflector shield.

Give the ship more stern direction! However, in such an impossible place, the battleship was hit!!!

"The battleship Blue Sea was hit by a proton torpedo! The deflector shield at the stern of the ship was penetrated!!" the signal soldier shouted.

"What's going on! No enemy planes launched proton torpedoes at all! And there aren't any enemy planes at the stern of our ship!" the captain suddenly rushed to the screen and shouted loudly.

"I don't know! We didn't find anything unusual!!" the radar soldier said.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the Blue Sea Hunter-class cruiser, whose shield had just been penetrated, suddenly trembled, and then only saw the warship's tail direction suddenly expanding, as if something was blowing inside.

With the same tone, countless fires suddenly burst out from inside the expanded and deformed stern! A series of explosions exploded from the inside out. Almost at the same time, the entire thousand-meter-long giant ship suddenly lost all power.

Falling towards the ground with billowing smoke!!!

"Blue Sea!! Report the situation immediately! What happened!!??" the captain of another Jaeger-class cruiser said loudly.

"This is the cruiser Blue Ocean. I don't know what happened. I only know that the battleship's engine was suddenly attacked! We lost all power!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

After being covered by a burst of explosions and roars, the captain turned around and saw from the porthole that the cruiser Blue Sea had fallen hard to the ground from high altitude. An uncontrollable fear arose in his heart!

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!! Inform the other two Cheer-class ships to retreat too!!" the captain shouted loudly.

"Captain? Why retreat?" asked a combat staff officer.

"Haven't you noticed yet? The other party can directly shoot down a Jaeger-class cruiser without us reacting at all! We can't stay here until we figure out why the Blue Sea was shot down!!"

the captain said loudly.

The Jaeger-class cruiser and the other two Cheer-class assault landing ships immediately turned around and retreated towards the rear at high speed. Without the air support of the battleships, the offensive of the mechanical life army on the ground became more and more fierce! Their endless impact

Standing at the Clone Legion's position.

Jane Connor looked coldly at the retreating warships in the sky, turned to the Kuriva commander next to him and said: "Our time is limited, order the entire army to attack! Colonel Miguel!"

However, the resistance officer could not recover from the shock just now. He said blankly: "What happened? A battleship was shot down in an instant!!"

"It's just a little bit of new technology, and we have limited hands on this thing. If it is used repeatedly, it will be targeted by the Republic soon, and it will be useless at that time. Therefore, we can only scare them. Fight back as soon as possible. This time I will personally go into battle!"

Jane Connor waved her hand and said.

This thing is naturally the Zhouqi III space fighter. The production of this kind of fighter has not yet started, so Jane Connor only brought a dozen of them over for a small-scale actual combat test. The previous tactics were also very simple. First, use 400 fighters.

Attracting the attention of the Republic warships, several Type III fighters filled with proton torpedoes quietly approached. After entering the 1000-meter teleportation range, they immediately activated the teleportation device.

The first Type 3 fighter teleported to the rear of the Blue Sea, and then detonated all the proton torpedoes, directly blasting through the tail shield, which had a very low energy supply priority. The second Type 3 fighter was even more ruthless, teleporting directly to the Blue Sea battleship.

Inside the engine bay!!

This tactic actually has a lot of loopholes. First of all, you have to get close enough to the opponent's warship, and you also have to destroy the opponent's shield. If the Republic is aware that there is equipment here that can teleport through space, then they will adopt a more conservative tactic. For example,

Prioritize ensuring the energy supply of the shield, such as taking off more fighter jets, or strengthening the point defense turrets of battleships.

In other words, if the appearance of type 3 fighters with teleportation devices on the battlefield has become normal, then having the opportunity to teleport directly into the opponent's warship can only be the icing on the cake. Because if you can break through the opponent's fighter jets and

If you point to the defense network composed of turrets and destroy the opponent's deflector shield, you can actually do whatever you want on the battleship at this time.

However, Miguel, a Curiva man, obviously didn't know what was going on behind this. He just thought that Jane Connor had some secret weapon in his hand. Of course, in a sense, it was correct. He also immediately cheered up.

, punched his fist and shouted loudly: "Then go ahead!! Turn the southern plains into a meat grinder!!"

Fran also jumped up happily: "Fran is going too! Fran is going too!!"

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Jane Connor's mouth. She raised her hand and the giant hammer of annihilation appeared from her personal space. She put the giant hammer on her shoulders and walked out of the command center directly.

…

At the same time, seeing his own warships begin to retreat, Master Bor-Chatak suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart. In the sky, the Confederate Vulture robot fighters had retreated one after another, but they did not leave completely, just far away.

hovering outside the combat airspace, seemingly preparing for a second wave of offensive. With this posture, and the fact that the Blue Sea cruiser was shot down by a mysterious weapon, the Republic really did not dare to rush into the battlefield again.

But even so, the Republic army still occupies air superiority. The air force on the planet Murkana is very weak. In addition to less than 300 backward space fighters, there are only 12,000 fighter jets in the atmosphere. And

Jane Connor did not bring too many fighter jets when she landed. She only brought 3,000 of them at full count, and at least half of them were destroyed by Tarkin's orbital bombardment. In comparison, the total number of fighter jets sent by the Republic was

Reaching 15,000 aircraft, it was very easy to gain air supremacy.

In fact, this is also the normal state of the war between the Confederation of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic. The Republic has more powerful battleships and fighter jets, as well as clone pilots with better driving skills, and the number of fighter jets on the battleships far exceeds that of the Confederacy. So.

In every battle, the Confederacy always used a large number of robots to advance against the artillery fire of the Republic fighter jets, causing heavy losses. Even now that Tang Yu, a big butterfly, is flapping his wings, this has not changed much.

It was precisely because of this that Master Bor-Chatak did not retreat. In her opinion, even if the warships could not participate in the battle, under the cover of the 3,000 fighter jets assigned to her side, they would still be enough to deal with all offensives of the Confederacy.

However, when the sea-like robot army rushed out towards the Republic Army's position, Chatak realized that she was wrong!

Jane Connor not only gathered all the mechanical life legions that could be mobilized nearby, totaling 100,000 troops, but also mobilized a large number of local Mulkana troops for the first time! This brought the total strength of the offensive she launched to more than 30

Wan! Her meaning is very clear, since you are here to fish, then fine, I will let you catch a shark!

A fierce battle unfolded in the southern plains. The Confederate army relied on its superior strength to besiege the Republic army from all directions, while the Republic relied on its superior armored forces and absolute air supremacy to resist. Both sides fought bloody battles on the southern plains.

!

…

At the same time, in the asteroid belt outside the planet Mulkana, Admiral Trench suddenly summoned all senior officers and issued an order, "In three hours, launch an attack on the orbital defense line of the Republic fleet!"

Emma Frost nodded and said: "The Blade Fleet has completed maintenance and will arrive on the battlefield in 20 hours. Is it too early to launch an attack now?"

Then she suddenly nodded and suddenly realized, "Oh~~~~~"

Trench did not give her any room to speak, and immediately said: "The Blade Fleet is a bright card, and both sides know it, so there are very few actions that can be taken on it. However, there are still ways to make the Blade Fleet play some roles.

Unexpected effects, such as... time difference. So we are launching an attack now mainly to give Admiral Tarkin an illusion. For this illusion, I plan to sacrifice 5 battleships."

At this time, a captain with the rank of colonel said: "But with all due respect, if General Emma takes action, our strength is enough to break through the Republic's defense line." He is the captain of the fleet to which Emma Frost belongs.

Naturally, I understand Emma better.

"No, no, no, General Emma will not take action in this offensive, so I literally sacrifice five Generosity-class frigates. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..." Trench replied.

"But is there any point in doing this at such a heavy price?" the captain asked.

"The significance is that we just broke through the defense line, but we were still able to completely annihilate the enemy fleet. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Trench clapped his hands with his pointer, "So let's start now, transfer the human crews on the five Generous class frigates

Evacuate them all to other warships, and then these warships will all be controlled by robots. After three hours, the attack will be launched."

…

Republic's outer orbital defense line.

When the ground war was in full swing, Admiral Tarkin adjusted the defense line. He recalled 10 Jaeger-class cruisers from the battlefield in the atmosphere of the planet Murkana, which increased the number of Jaeger-class cruisers on the defense line to

84 ships. He divided these battleships into four clusters and arranged them in all directions. However, the formation he arranged was a bit strange, because the central part of the formation was empty. Of course, based on the weapon range of the space battleship, this was not possible at all.

What a weakness.

"General! Hyperspace jump fluctuations detected!" the radar soldier turned around and said.

"Haha, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Chatak's plan is going very smoothly, and now the separatist troops are fighting our ground troops. It seems that they are desperate, hehehehe." Admiral Tarkin sneered.

When he got up, he did not issue an order to prepare for battle, because this fleet had already made all preparations for battle!

The light flickered, and 41 Confederate warships escaped from the hyperspace jump and appeared in space. Without any further action, both sides simply pressed the button to fire their main guns!

At first, the Confederate fleet only launched an artillery battle with the Republic fleet from a distance. Their formation was widely spread out, and the combat distance was controlled at about 700 to 900 kilometers. At this distance, the turbolaser cannon was already powerful and accurate.

Down to the limit. Apparently the Confederate fleet wanted to stall for time.

But Admiral Tarkin was confident, because he knew very well that it was these separatists who were anxious now!

The two sides fought for 4 or 5 hours, with no results other than wasting some energy. The Confederate fleet seemed a little panicked. They began to speed up and further shortened the combat distance, 600 kilometers, 500 kilometers, 400 kilometers... The Confederacy

The fleet approached step by step and tested step by step, but the defense line of the Republic fleet remained motionless!
