A large number of plasma grenades continued to fall from the sky, and then set off waves of horrific explosions on the ground.
Under this powerful fire bombardment, the temporary deflector shield set up by the Republic clone troops was immediately blown to pieces, and the E-WEB blaster machine gun protected by the shield was also blown up.
"Be careful! It's a siege tank!" A clone soldier just shouted, and the next second he was drowned by artillery fire. The violent explosion blew him up more than ten meters high, and his body was torn into several pieces by the powerful energy.
piece.
"Damn it! Where is the AT-TE!
We need firepower for counter-suppression!" a clone frontline commander with a blue armband shouted.
"There's no AT-TE! There's nothing left!" Another soldier on the side shouted angrily, almost in the commander's face, while raising his hand and pointing to the sky.
The commander raised his head and saw five light frigates over 30 meters long and stubby in the sky just flying by. At this moment, more than 20 Galaxy Republic V-19 Torrent light fighters flew over from a distance.
However, at this moment, two missile launchers suddenly deployed in front of these light frigates, and then instantly launched 8 missiles. These 8 missiles split again in the air, and then directly exploded into a huge field several kilometers wide in the airspace ahead.
Explosive zone!
Boom boom boom boom~~~~!
!
The firepower coverage of the five frigates directly covered almost the entire combat airspace. Those Republic fighter jets were directly destroyed by the dense explosions before they even had time to dodge!
The remnants of the explosion and the burning wreckage of Republic fighter jets seemed to be raining fire on the horizon, colorful, but full of the desolation of death.
This scenery almost stunned the clone commander...
But then he felt a huge force pulling him behind the ruins aside, and almost in the next second, boom boom boom!
!
More than a dozen rockets appeared out of thin air, and then plowed the entire place where he was just to the ground! The gravel and sand splashed by the explosion fell down, smashing them into disgrace.
"Commander, now is not the time to be in a daze!" The person who saved the commander was none other than Anakin Skywalker. He pointed at the sky and said loudly: "What do you think these Valkyrie frigates are for?
Covering their Banshee fighter jets!"
The clone commander finally came to his senses and looked at the sky. The three Banshee fighter jets had just exited the stealth system and sped away.
At this time, Captain Rex, the commander of the Torrent Company with Anakin, patted the commander on the shoulder and said: "Okay, Captain Dudley, your company is still needed to stabilize this position here!"
"Damn it! My team was scattered by the bombing just now!" Captain Dudley immediately rushed out again, calling his scattered soldiers to regroup during the communication.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions was still heard. Looking at the plasma balls falling in the sky, Anakin Skywalker said solemnly: "No, these siege tanks must be killed!"
He yelled into the comm, "Ahsoka! Ahsoka! Where are you now?!"
"Master! Master Ron Shrine was shot down just now! I'm rushing over to provide support!" Ahsoka Tano's urgent voice came from the communication.
Normally she would always call Anakin 'Skywalker' if the situation wasn't that bad, but now she couldn't care less about joking.
Anakin was startled, "What did you say? The fighter formation that was destroyed just now was led by Master Ron?"
"That's right! He was fighting a fighter jet piloted by a Dark Jedi at high altitude!" Ahsoka Tano said loudly. Gunshots and explosions could also be heard from the communication. It was obvious that the battle situation was very serious.
Fiercely, "By the way, what can I do for you? Master!"
"No more, please rescue Master Ron as soon as possible." After Anakin finished speaking, he turned off the communication, and then said to Captain Rex who was standing aside: "It seems that we have to rely on ourselves. We need to launch a surprise attack to kill those attackers."
City tank!”
"But is there any plan? This kind of siege tank is very maneuverable. It can complete the recovery work within 10 seconds and enter the marching posture to maneuver quickly. What's even more shameless is that this tank also has strong firepower in the marching posture...
...Didn’t we also launch a raid yesterday? But they still ran away." Captain Rex said.
"The military technology of Dawn Planet is even higher than that of our Republic in many places..." Anakin Skywalker said. He opened the holographic map and pointed at the map that was constantly flashing and changing the situation. "We only have one chance... first let
Our defense line fully retreats, and then when the siege tanks are deployed forward again, we rush over to destroy them! The only weakness of the siege tanks is that their range is not as good as the AT-TE's heavy howitzer."
"This is too risky, General. Now we have almost no retreat. The Nitta Cheer-class assault landing ship is 5 kilometers behind us. The battleship has not yet restored power. Once this battleship is destroyed, we will lose
Without the supplies above, I think we will starve to death on this Tibrin planet sooner or later," Rex said.
"So I said, this is our only chance." Anakin said.
Captain Rex stared at him for two seconds, then nodded heavily, opened the communication and said: "Captain Dudley, immediately command your people to abandon their current positions and retreat! There are also saber companies, turret companies, and shield companies.
...Retreat at the same time!”
"yes!"
Anakin said to Rex: "Okay, everyone takes cover!
"
The soldiers of Torrent Company immediately hid in the ruins, crawling on the ground to hide.
Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the continuous roar of explosions from the position gradually stopped and was replaced by more intensive gunshots.
The unique three-shot sound of the V-15 Vindicator assault rifle provided by Dawn Planet in the past is very recognizable. It is obvious that after discovering that the Republic soldiers retreated, those Yinxi-Tibu people cooperated with the robot army to launch an assault.
"Platoon E, immediately move 10 meters to the 7 o'clock direction... Platoon B, move back to the 6 o'clock direction and make way for the abandoned house..." Anakin Skywalker kept giving such instructions in the communication.
.
With the foreknowledge of the Force, he actually sensed the time and area where these clone troopers would be discovered when they were hiding, and then told the clone troopers to avoid them in advance.
The sound of footsteps and engines could be heard all around, and the sound of gunshots was also very close.
The Yinxi-Tibu army passed by here without even realizing that there were more than 100 clone warriors hiding under their noses!
"Not enough... not enough..." Anakin Skywalker was still mumbling to himself, "This still won't succeed."
Suddenly, his ears moved slightly and he heard a different engine sound. He whispered, "It's a vulture chariot! 12 of them! Listen, I have a new plan!"
"What's the plan..."
Before Rex finished speaking, he saw Anakin Skywalker suddenly jump up, and at the same time he opened his lightsaber in mid-air and made a sudden stroke! At this moment, a vulture chariot passed by at high speed, and An
The lightsaber in Najin's hand just passed through the driver's neck and cut off his head!
The out-of-control vulture chariot suddenly hit the wall next to it. Fortunately, these high-speed chariots have safety systems that automatically slow down without driver control, so they did not crash into pieces.
At the same time, other clone soldiers also stood up from their hiding places and fired at the retreating Vulture Chariot that had just passed through them!
The clone troopers were extremely elite and reacted extremely quickly. They understood Anakin's thoughts in an instant and came to cooperate immediately. Moreover, their marksmanship was very accurate. All the drivers of the Vulture Chariot were killed. In the process, only
3 cars were crashed!
Anakin Skywalker had already mounted one of the Vulture Chariots and said: "This is the new plan! Only in this way can we break through the Separatist front!"
Rex nodded, jumped on a vulture chariot, nodded to a few people and said, "It's just you, let's go! Others, move forward in hiding, looking for opportunities to respond!"
"yes!"
More than a dozen clone soldiers, working in groups of two, drove the Vulture Chariot at full power, galloping towards the rear of the Yinxi-Tibu people's line.
Along the way, Anakin Skywalker constantly adjusted the route to allow them to avoid the Yinxi-Tibu soldiers coming to intercept them. At the same time, he also locked the area where the siege tanks were located through the Force!
Just ahead, the roar of the engine is very close!
Anakin turned the motor to the maximum, and then drove the Vulture Chariot directly to collapse a ruined wall. Behind him, there was the huge figure of a siege tank!
The vulture chariot suddenly collided with the siege tank at close range. One second before the impact, Anakin had already stood up, and the lightsaber in his hand instantly cut off the barrel of the siege tank!
While he was still in the air, he had already raised his hand. Under the strong force of the force, all the bullets and blaster beams that were fired were bounced away! Then he fell to the ground, and his body turned into a bolt of lightning.
Several siege tanks shuttled between them, killing all the Yinxi-Tibu soldiers around the tank.
Other clone soldiers also began to fight with the defenders guarding these siege tanks. Under such a calculated and unintentional surprise attack, the Yinxi-Tibu people were beaten to a pulp by a mere dozen clone soldiers.
At the same time, the soldiers of Torrent Company who were not riding in the Vulture Chariot also took advantage of the chaos caused by Anakin and others to launch an attack on the separatist army. Not only them, but other companies that were retreating discovered that the separatist army
There was some confusion, and when some people retreated and others were at a loss, they decisively turned around and launched a counterattack.
Anakin Skywalker successfully destroyed 8 siege tanks, which reduced the defensive pressure in this direction. At the same time, Ahsoka Tano also rescued the downed Master Ron Shrien and came to join them.
The clone troopers re-stabilized their line. After the brutal and bloody battle continued for another day, the Nitta-class cheering landing ship behind them, which had been severely damaged and forced to land, finally regained its power, and the clone troopers began
Contract the defense line in an orderly manner and retreat to the battleships.
…
On May 11, 21BB, the 41st Storm Legion and the 501st Legion of the Galactic Republic fully retreated from the planet Tibrin.
In this bloody battle, the Republic paid the price with more than 20,000 clone troopers killed, and the losses on the Separatist side were even heavier.
Facts have proved that courage cannot close the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides, especially when the robot army was temporarily shut down by the nanovirus. Although the Yinxi-Tibu people mobilized a million troops to attack the clone army's front, they also achieved a lot.
The good results forced the Republic's troops to retreat continuously.
But their casualties in this battle were 140,000!
This astonishing battle loss ratio was achieved in the later stages of the battle, when the Valkyrie frigate came for reinforcements and the Separatists occupied air superiority.
This shows how powerless the ordinary conscripted soldiers on these planets are when faced with clone soldiers, super soldiers who have been cultivated from embryos with the goal of killing machines...
However, despite the heavy losses, the Tibrin planet finally got rid of the rule of the Galactic Republic. Count Dooku's dark disciple, Thora Balk, as the acting planetary governor, began to assist the Tibrin planet in establishing a formal planetary government.
And with the defeat of the Tibrin Planet Battle, the Galactic Republic also lost the possibility of threatening the Fourth Civilization Fleet assembled on the Dora and Glenson planets from the rear, allowing the Fourth Civilization's fleet to use all its strength.
Focus on the direction of the planet Eriadu.
However, this brutal battle left an indelible shadow in the hearts of the soldiers of the 41st Storm Legion. The soldiers of the 41st Storm Legion who participated in this battle dyed their hair red and shaved it into a unique double-striped hairstyle.
Hair style to commemorate the Battle of Tibrin Planet.
…
The cruel war is still going on...
However, at the same time, Coruscant, the capital of the Republic, was far away from the battlefield.
There was a crisp ding sound, and two exquisite crystal wine glasses touched together gently. The precious purple wine in the wine glasses rippled with the impact, and exuded a charming aroma of wine.
"You are still so charming, Miss Padmé. The war did not take away your youth and beauty from you. You are still the enchanting lady..." Rush Clovis smiled at the person sitting in front of him.
Padmé Amidala said, "But just 10 minutes ago, I was worried that your purpose of inviting me to dinner was to put me on the table and eat me alive."
"Hehehehe... you are still so funny, Clovis." His humor made Padmé Amidala laugh out loud. Although the two had broken up for more than a year, Padmé Amidala couldn't help but laugh.
Deme also had to admit that Clovis was indeed a very good man.
But now her heart has been filled with another dazzling man, and she can no longer tolerate anyone else.
