Admiral Longo's flagship was hit by two turbolaser cannons!
One round of artillery fire landed behind the side of the battleship, near the B turret, and another round fell under the bridge. Fortunately, the armor protection was very complete. Apart from a shock and armor falling off, there was no more damage.
As the second wave of salvo fire from the Separatist fleet arrived, the Galactic Republic fleet, which had not raised its shields at all, began to suffer losses.
The turbolaser cannon hit the armor of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser, causing bursts of violent explosions and flames.
Although most of them failed to penetrate the armor, the fire and smoke generated by the explosion had already begun to create a tragic atmosphere for this Republic fleet that had just begun the war and was in trouble.
The Republic battleships also began to fire back, and a large number of fighter jets also took off.
The fleets of both sides continued to approach, and invariably activated laser cannons at a distance of about 10 light seconds!
Thick laser beams continued to sweep across the battleships on both sides, creating ripples of energy shields and seas of fire that burned armor.
At the same time, the fighters from both sides were also strangled together!
Because this is a home battle, the fighter jets taking off from the separatist side can be said to be a large group of Wuyang Wuyang. The first wave of attack groups alone has more than 6,000 fighter jets! Most of them are Vulture robot fighters, and there are a few
Part of the Triple Droid Fighter and the Coyote Droid Bomber.
These fighter jets take off directly from the space station near the planet and do not need to occupy the transportation capacity of the battleship.
Correspondingly, although the Republic Fleet has 60 Jaeger-class battlecruisers with a theoretical carrying capacity of 24,000 aircraft, as always, due to the losses in daily operations and the replacement of pilots, they are not fully loaded.
They also have less than 10,000 fighter jets, and some of them are even Z-95 Headhunter fighter jets that have lagged far behind.
But don’t forget about the geth fleet!
Although the Geth fleet did not take off fighter jets immediately, it can be known from past combat experience that the extremely flexible light frigates of the Geth are not at all intimidated by the Galactic Republic's fighter clusters.
Fighter clusters from both sides started a fierce battle over an area of tens of thousands of kilometers. At the same time, the gunfire from the warships on both sides also intertwined for the third and fourth time!
A violent explosion set off again, and the Republic fleet, which did not raise its shields, once again suffered heavy losses.
This time, two Jaeger-class battlecruisers were hit by the opponent's powerful plasma beam. Along with a terrible explosion and fire, the two battleships were directly blasted with a huge gap by the powerful plasma beam.
He was paralyzed almost instantly.
Yamato Cannon!
The Separatist fleet's defense fleet on the Mequito planet is a joint fleet of the Fourth Group and the Interstellar Banking Association. Among the main ships of this fleet, in addition to some Kanggui-class communication frigates and Disobedience-class light destroyers, among them
Also included are 5 Divine-class destroyers and 12 Behemoth-class battlecruisers!
Especially those 12 Behemoth-class ships, which are completely natural enemy threats to the Jaeger-class battlecruisers without raising their shields!
"General! We can't hold on like this for long!" On the bridge of the flagship of the Republic fleet, the adjutant said loudly to their commander-in-chief, Admiral Longo.
"How long until the hyperspace engine can be started!" Admiral Longo asked sternly.
"I don't know... the energy index keeps beating. This time ranges from 10 minutes to 5 hours..." The hyperspace engine operator nervously looked at the changing numbers on the screen, sweating profusely.
"Why is there such a big error!" Longo yelled.
"Maybe it's electronic interference...maybe..."
"If it is electronic interference, then it will only interfere with the display of the system! It cannot interfere with the hyperspace engine!" Longo obviously didn't understand anything.
"If that's the case...then there is hyperspace turbulence..."
"Why is there such a thing as hyperspace turbulence here?"
"Maybe it's a hyperspace suppressor!" said an intelligence official on the side. "In the Battle of Bespin and the Battle of Eriadu, the Separatists used this device that can interfere with hyperspace jumps. However, this device needs to be advanced in advance.
It is set up well and is very fragile and can be easily destroyed.”
"But in a situation like this... we don't have the ability to find the hyperspace suppressor at all!" Admiral Longo looked solemn, "And their small spacecraft that launch electronic interference, haven't they been done yet?!"
"Those spaceships are very flexible, and although they are not armed, they have extremely strong electronic jamming capabilities. Some of our lone fighter formations will even be directly paralyzed by them! So far we have only shot down 5 ships..."
The adjutant wiped a cold sweat and said.
Admiral Longo looked at the picture projected on the screen, which was an optical image of some of these electronic warfare crafts captured by their fighter formation.
I only saw that this kind of spacecraft is about 93 meters long, roughly shaped into a U-shaped catamaran, and has a large number of extremely powerful electronic antennas installed on both sides of the hull. These spacecraft are very fast, and the deflection shield readings
It is also very high, which is the performance obtained by completely giving up the weapon system.
"Is this the thing?" Longo looked solemn.
"We have intercepted the code name of this warship from enemy communications - Sentinel class. Sentinel class heavy electronic warfare frigate." The adjutant said, "It is these Sentinel class that form an electronic jamming network, which almost completely intercepts our
communications, and also hinders the energy system of our warship... It also interferes with the firing of our warship's main gun!"
Longo clenched his fists, "The separatists have already begun to use this electronic warfare technology on many warships, from the Doomsday Arena-class battlecruiser that first appeared, to the Xuanwu Titan battleship that appeared in the Battle of Eriadu...
Is there another Sentinel class now?"
"The separatists obviously don't want to compete head-on with us in terms of the performance and quantity of our warships. They seem to have always wanted to fight an asymmetrical battle with us," the adjutant said.
"But they did it!" Longo gritted his teeth.
"What should we do, General! If we continue, we may not be able to activate the hyperspace engine!" the adjutant said, "Electronic interference has greatly weakened the combat performance of our warships. If the deflector shield can no longer be turned on,
, I’m afraid we will be completely wiped out within half an hour!”
Longo thought for a while and said: "Instruct all ships to raise their deflection shields! Resist on the spot! Then our ship began to retreat, away from the battlefield, and continued to keep the shields lowered, trying to start the hyperspace engine and leave as soon as possible.
here!"
"yes!"
…
At the same time, in the command center of the outer orbital space station on the planet Mequito.
"The outcome of this battle is already known before it even begins... Why waste my time?" The holographic projection on the screen projected the figure of Tang Xiao, the Governor of Dawn Planet.
"We killed a Jedi Master, he was very powerful." In front of the screen, a geth individual said, "After comparing the database, we found out his name - Sars-Tine."
Tang Xiao burst into laughter, "Huh? Sas-Tin is dead? Hahahahaha! Those people in the Republic are really cooperative! If they hadn't been so smart, our plan wouldn't have been so easy to unfold!"
Thorn-Hill said: "Our plan went very smoothly indeed. The Galactic Republic rushed over almost unprepared. I thought they were somewhat suspicious of the relationship between us and the geth.
"
Tang Xiao sneered: "It seems that Sas-Tin, the so-called member of the Supreme Council, is just a trash with no reputation. He gave his life to the planet Kali, but he didn't have anything of value.
Didn’t get it. Well... he assassinated General Dilar, does he think that the death of Dilar will have an impact on the war situation? "
