Chapter 1,134 The Battle of Umbala Planet (Part 2)
1134, Battle of Umbala Planet (Part 2)
"As for this battle, it is very difficult..." Pang Krel said in a deep voice, "I have just communicated with the navigator. We cannot confirm the situation at the landing site. In other words, our Cheer-class
The assault landing ship can only land in total darkness."
"Even the terrain and enemy fire distribution are unknown?" Anakin asked.
"The basic terrain can still be scanned, but that's all. If I were the commander of the Umbala people, then when our fleet appeared in the outer orbit of the planet, we would have already done so at every possible landing site.
Ready," Pon-Krell said.
Anakin Skywalker frowned, "Moreover, our fighter jets are completely unqualified to fight on this planet. It is also impossible for our commonly used LAAT transport boats to conduct surprise landings. We can only land the Cheer class directly on the planet."
On the ground. This is equivalent to reducing our mobility to the minimum."
"That's right! Sitting on the assault landing ship is the last maneuver of our troops." Pang Krel said, "The next step is the frontal attack."
"If this is the case, our only way is to land directly near the capital of Umbala, but there will undoubtedly be very strong resistance. I can't even guarantee the safe landing of the spacecraft." Anakin Skywalker said.
"Send an advance team to force a landing and conduct fire reconnaissance." Pang Krel said straightforwardly.
"But this will cause very serious casualties, especially among the advance team. I don't think any of them will even survive." Anakin Skywalker frowned and said.
Pon-Krel shook his head and asked, "Then let me ask you, young Skywalker. Is the purpose of leading our army to the planet Umbala to destroy our army?"
"No! The recovery of the planet Umbara is crucial! General Grievous is very cunning. On the same day that the planet Umbara surrendered to the separatists, he immediately sent an army to invade the planet Kashyyyk! The Wookiees were unable to resist.
Those ferocious robots took too long, we must win the victory on the planet Umbala and reinforce the planet Kashyyyk!" Anakin Skywalker said firmly.
"So, we can't be afraid of sacrifice. You should know that the nature of clones is no different from these robots. The Republic uses clones to carry out war, just to let us use them ruthlessly! If we still look forward and backward at this time, it is impossible
Victory in the war." Pon-Krel said, "Remember! Only victory makes these clones that can be mass-produced at the press of a button valuable! Moreover, their validity is about to expire..."
"Yes, the separatists have obtained the genetic samples of these clones, and they will soon be able to develop corresponding genetic weapons. By then, these clone soldiers may not even be worth as much as a dolphin on the battlefield.
Go ahead. Use them well, take advantage of the moment, and then...bring victory!" Pang Krel patted Anakin's shoulder again.
Anakin Skywalker bowed his head and fell silent.
"Okay, we are divided into two groups for this battle. You directly attack the capital of Umbala, and I will lead this legion including the 212th Attack Battalion to cut off the supply line of the capital. You and your 501st legion have been cooperating for a long time.
, I should be able to handle tough tasks, but this is the first time for me to cooperate with my legion. No one knows what they are like." Pang Krel said.
Anakin said seriously: "I have had some contact with Cody, the commander of the 212th Attack Battalion. He is a very good commander, and the 212th Attack Battalion is also an excellent team."
"Then I will very much hope that they can bring me a new victory. Well, I will return to my spaceship, and the landing operation will start simultaneously in one hour. May the force be with you, young man
Skywalker." Pang Krel smiled disapprovingly, turned around and left the bridge.
"May the Force be with you, Master Krell." Anakin Skywalker nodded and looked at the dark porthole again, his face solemn.
"I don't like him very much." Ahsoka Tano said from the side.
"Because of the clones?" Anakin glanced at her.
"That's right. I think Captain Rex and the others are living people. No matter whether they can be produced by pressing a button or not, but...but you also know, Rex, Echo, No. 5...
They are all different, they all have their own thoughts and opinions! They are not tools!" Ahsoka Tano said seriously.
"We can't make everyone else think the same way as us, little devil." Anakin Skywalker said sternly, "Master Pon Krell has won every battle since the war began. He is our
A battle hero of the Jedi Order. Maybe his views on clones are different from ours, but he also saved more people in his own way."
"Well, if you say that, you can't make me like him, can you?" Ahsoka Tano spread her hands and made a face, "Tian Xingzi."
"Call me master properly!"
"Okay Tian Xingzi."
…
An hour later, five Cheer-class assault landing ships began to lower their altitude and forcibly entered the atmosphere of the Umbala planet!
The friction between the huge spaceship and the atmosphere caused a fierce combustion. Five huge flames appeared in the dark sky on the planet Umbala, lighting up the night sky like five red suns!
In the next second, dense air defense firepower was launched into the sky!
Missiles, lasers, blaster beams, and the most technologically advanced plasma cannon of the Umbala people! Countless beams of light fell on the spacecraft, and the deflector shield flashed violently, spreading the powerful anti-aircraft firepower to the entire shield.
Withstand, deflect and neutralize in the field.
Dozens of bow-tie-shaped fighter jets appeared in the sky. They were Zenuas 33 Umbaran starfighters made by the Umbarans. The cockpit of this fighter was a fully enclosed spherical cabin.
, the driver inside controls it through a touch-type holographic interface. Basically only Umbala people with very keen senses can control it, and the performance is very excellent.
The Galactic Republic is unable to take off fighter jets at all. In the darkness of the Umbala planet, even communications will be affected, and their fighter jets are completely useless!
Boom! Boom! Boom! The Zenuas-33 starfighter continuously fires ion cannons to attack the Cheer-class assault landing ship from above. Compared with the thickly armored bottom, the top armor of the Cheer-class is not that powerful.
The operators had to concentrate the shield energy above for defense to prevent the Umbala fighter jets from destroying the warship's superstructure and close-defense turrets.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several proton torpedoes hit the bottom armor of Anakin Skywalker's battleship, causing the battleship to shake violently.
"General Skywalker! Our ship's shield has been broken and needs to be recirculated! The bottom armor is under direct attack!" an officer came over and shouted.
Anakin Skywalker gritted his teeth, then finally made up his mind and said loudly: "Send an advance team and force a landing!
