Chapter 913 The Battle of the West: Radical Tactics
913, Battle of the West: Radical Strategy
The droid tri-fighter is jointly designed by Colla Designs, a subsidiary of the Technology Alliance, and phlac-automata industries, and is produced on the planet Colla IV in the industrial world.
.
The original intention of designing this fighter is to have a robot fighter with stronger firepower and faster speed to deal with the powerful arc-170 heavy fighter of the Galactic Republic.
The triple robot fighter is equipped with one heavy laser cannon and three light laser cannons, and is also equipped with 12 concussion missiles. In order to meet the huge energy demand, the fighter is not even equipped with a shield. This fighter is extremely fast and can turn flexibly.
It is slightly inferior to the Vulture Robot Fighter, but its firepower is more than one level higher.
This is a very successful design. A triple robot fighter is 5.4 meters long and costs less than 30,000 credits. Compared to the Vulture robot fighter, which is 3.6 meters long and costs 19,000 credits, both the volume and the cost increase.
Not much, but the improvement in combat effectiveness is a leap.
Because the firepower of the Vulture robot fighter is difficult to pose a threat to the arc-170 heavy fighter, but the triple robot fighter can easily do so.
And the results shown in this battle showed that the Republic's V-19 Riptide light fighter was no match for them!
As a core member of the Confederation of Independent Systems, and in addition to the upcoming attack on the planet Eriadu, this new type of fighter jet, whose output is currently not high, has also been prioritized for deployment to the Dawn Planet.
Now in the sky above the planet Marastal, the large number of triple robot fighters has caused heavy damage to the Republic fighter group. When the Republic fighters entered the effective range and could threaten those Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers, they were already attacked by anti-aircraft fire.
And triple robot fighters shot down more than 500!
The Republic fighter jets that broke into the atmosphere were like countless meteor showers falling from the sky. The friction of the air caused the fighter jets to be surrounded by flames.
Immediately afterwards, a larger sea of fire suddenly appeared in the sky!
Rolling fire clouds are constantly churning in the sky, and the burning atmosphere is constantly emitting scorching energy. This is the flame produced by friction when a huge object enters the atmosphere at high speed.
Then the clouds were penetrated, and three 794-meter-long Cheer-class assault landing ships flew down. After reaching the appropriate height, the hangar door opened, and hundreds of LAAT/I assault transport boats full of clone soldiers descended from the sky.
, a forced landing was carried out under the cover of fire from battleships and fighter jets.
The clone troopers were divided into three battle groups and landed around Pixel City.
Jedi Master Obi-Wan - 2224 Cody led the 212th Assault Regiment to land in the north of the city. The clone soldiers quickly established a temporary position with portable shield generators and immediately began to form combat groups and advance towards the interior of Pixel City.
More cargo laat/c transport boats followed, transporting more armored units from the battleships, AT-TE all-terrain tactical assault walkers, TX-130 Saber-class battle tanks, AV-7 self-propelled artillery,
swoop-g hover motorcycle, etc.
After the AT-TE walker was in place, the clone troopers skillfully deployed the heavy howitzer on the back of the walker, established a long-range fire position, and then conducted the first round of fire coverage on the urban areas that had been identified as occupied by the separatists.
In the sky, groups of triple robot fighters, after getting rid of the entanglement of the Republic's escort fighter jets, swooped down towards the Republic's artillery positions, launching a ruthless and indiscriminate bombardment.
"General! Our landing site has been established, and artillery positions have been set up at coordinates g-9, h-11, and j-4. Next, our transport aircraft will mainly transport ammunition." -2224 Cody came over.
Reporting to Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Obi-Wan Kenobi picked up the telescope and looked at the war-torn Pixel City in the distance. He also looked at a Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser in front of him that was adjusting its direction and flying towards him. He shook his head and said, "Notify the battleship that we
We cannot establish a landing site here, we must first advance the front to the outskirts of Pixel City! See that factory? Let our AT-TE advance in that direction immediately!"
"Yes!" Cody gave a military salute.
Obi-Wan looked at the telescope again, frowning, "This Dreadnought seems to have a slightly different shape... Has it been modified by the Separatists?"
…
At the same time, in the outer space of Malastar planet, Pixel City is in synchronized orbit.
"Master Cape, our landing force has successfully entered the ground. The first batch of 8,000 clone soldiers have landed from three directions. The progress is going smoothly." Obi-Wan Kenobi's holographic projection appeared and he said.
Commander-in-chief Cape Xie, who was standing on the bridge of the flagship, nodded, "However, the air battlefield is still a hidden danger. Currently, the separatist warships are still at high altitudes. Their combat targets are still our fighter jets, but there is no guarantee that they will.
There will be no adjustment in strategy to direct firepower at our ground forces."
"The Air Force is doing its best to fight, but it is indeed very difficult. The number of new triple robot fighters used by the separatists is 2,000. This kind of fighter is very advanced. With the firepower of their warships, it is difficult for us to gain an advantage." appeared in the communication.
She has received the projection of Jedi Master Luminara Anduli, who is now on the fighter jet.
Kep-Xie thought for a while and said: "We cannot let the separatist warships continue to threaten our combat plan! I will let the main formation approach the planet 50,000 kilometers away and intensify the bombardment."
"This is too dangerous." Obi-Wan Kenobi said: "Our warships can only fire at safe power in space, but the Separatist warships don't have so many concerns about aiming in the direction of space."
"Fighters are our main force, and we must gain air superiority on the ground battlefield. How long will the assault teams at the North and South Poles last?" Kep-Xie continued to ask.
The projections of two other Jedi knights appeared, and they reported: "The Antarctic assault force is expected to make contact with four Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers of the Separatists in one hour, and we have already launched our fighter jets."
"The North Pole Assault Team is expected to make contact in 37 minutes. Our fighter jets are fighting the separatists, but the threat from the opponent's triple fighter jets is too great. Considering the plan for continued operations, we have not made the fighter formations more aggressive."
Kep-Xie said seriously: "A radical strategy must be adopted! Before the separatist warships bombard our ground forces, their combat formations must be broken up!"
"yes!"
Cape Xie looked at the holographic battlefield map and murmured to himself: "If you just delay time in the atmosphere, then your strategy will undoubtedly fail... The famous general who shocked the entire Republic, Severance-
