"Stabilize the formation! Steady! The fourth and fifth formations turn immediately!" Lieutenant General Skarrid roared loudly into the communication.
However, the response from the communicator was obscured by louder interference noises, and it was not clear whether his instructions were conveyed.
The Destruction's artillery fire is still continuing, but for the Knight-class Star Destroyer, with its huge body of 1,600 meters and the powerful protective capabilities obtained by giving up miscellaneous functions, even without a deflector shield in a short period of time.
For the time being, there is no need to worry about being fatally damaged by the Destruction's intensive but limited-power bombardment.
"The deflector shield has completed its cycle and is starting up!" the soldiers in the shield team reported loudly.
"The engine has been overhauled and the energy core has been restarted!"
"Main battery columns 1, 3, and 4 have restarted!"
"The fire control radar is back to work! Please give instructions to aim at the target!"
Various systems on the battleship quickly began to recover. Obviously, the Destruction's ion pulse cannon, which was not fully charged, could only have a certain impact on the Knight class for a short period of time.
But in just a few minutes, the situation on the entire battlefield has undergone earth-shaking changes!
If Lieutenant General Trinald Scared could carefully study Severance Tann's previous battles, then he would understand that what Severance Tann often did was when she
Before launching a counterattack, paralyze or restrict the opponent's command system.
Then he will understand that this attack on the Knight-class Star Destroyer he is on is just the beginning of Severance Tann's series of actions!
When Lieutenant General Scared's flagship finally restored communications, he was shocked to find that almost all of the one-third warships at the rear of his fleet had suffered heavy damage and were desperately resisting. However, the two-thirds of the warships in the front were
It was already in a mess, some wanted to turn, and some wanted to attack, causing the formation to spread further and further, and instead fell into the counter-siege of small and medium-sized warships from the Rendili Defense Fleet, mainly Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers!
Only then did he see that the warships of Rendili's defense fleet seemed to have come alive!
Almost every battleship is performing independent tactical maneuvers, but when viewed in the context of the entire battle, each of these tactical maneuvers has its own role, and each battleship in the Republic fleet has been targeted in a targeted manner.
blow.
Compared with the rigid and dull performance of the past few days, he is completely different!
Now the Republic fleet is divided into two, and the formation is completely disrupted. All battleships are almost fighting independently. The most fatal point for them is that in fact, such melee is not the result of the Republic's current main battleship, the Hunter class.
good at!
The fleet in Scared's hands now has very little left because the fighter group was devastated by Darth Malsayir before. The remaining fighters can only serve as a cover. In such a melee situation,
, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser lacks explosion-proof compartments and has only a single-layer armor structure, which becomes its biggest weakness!
In fact, there is no need to compare the Knight class, just compare the Chasseur class and the Empire class. The length of the Chasseur class is 1137 meters, the shield, speed and artillery fire are not weak, and the maximum carrying capacity is 420 aircraft; the length of the Empire class is 1600 meters
meters, the maximum carrying capacity is only 72 aircraft, but you have to know that the size of the Empire-class is at least three times that of the Jaeger-class.
This will give you an idea of the price to pay for the Jaeger-class's sky-high aircraft capacity - basically every inch of the battleship's space has been used. If you look at the cross-section, there are no armored isolation zones or armored zones inside the battleship.
Explosion proof compartment!
This means that no matter how thick the single layer of armor of the Jaeger-class is, no matter how advanced armor materials are used, it is still essentially a shield-resistant ship.
In this kind of face-to-face bombardment, the Jaeger-class faced the Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that were twice their number, and they were no match at all. Because the Dreadnought-class was a pure gunboat!
This is the situation that Scared's fleet is facing now - his fleet was disrupted by Severance Tann in a direct attack, and was then put into desperate resistance in an extremely disadvantageous state!
At this moment, the formation of Rendili's defense fleet changed again!
Those Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers that were fighting with the front two-thirds of the Republic fleet's battleships suddenly rushed towards the rear one-third of the battleships where Scared was located!
In the melee just now, these fearless class have completed the turn without even realizing it!
Even denser artillery fire exploded in the surroundings than before, and the Republic fleet had fallen into chaos. There was no response at all to the Rendili defense fleet, which was constantly making flexible tactical maneuvers!
Two-thirds of the warships in the front section of the Republic fleet once again began to turn towards the assault, and the formation became chaotic again!
Lieutenant General Scared looked at the holographic combat star map and his face turned pale.
Now he knows that the only way to preserve his strength as much as possible is to let all the battleships escape individually, and then run to the edge of the galaxy to regroup!
Severance Tann finally showed her fangs belonging to the 'famous general'! She proved the difference between famous generals and ordinary generals, and it only took less than an hour and a single assault.
In the past few days, the real reason why Rendili's defense fleet behaved rigidly and dullly was that Severance Tann had not completed the adjustment and unification of the internal command systems of these battleships! And in those days, in order not to waste the powerful Destruction, she
The combat effectiveness was high, so they used the simplest tactic, letting the Destruction fight in front while the other warships fired black guns from behind.
To put it bluntly, he was just teasing Lieutenant General Scared.
During those few days, she once again shot many corrupt and incompetent mid-level officers of Rendili, and then added a group of young and energetic recruits. These recruits were paired with a robot team headed by T-series tactical robots to build a
A battleship command team was formed that was not very efficient, but was absolutely obedient.
Only then did Lieutenant General Scared understand that Severance Tann had never used the Destruction's powerful directional particle pulse cannon as a main battle weapon. Her real purpose of using this weapon was just to disrupt
The deployment of her own fleet, dividing her fleet's formation, only creates conditions for other warships under her to launch attacks.
But now it’s too late to know this!
Vice Admiral Scared shouted loudly in the command channel, trying his best to adjust the formation of his battleships, hoping to reorganize his fleet and no longer fight independently. But his adjustments could not keep up with Severance-
Tann's rhythm, often just when he makes adjustments, he discovers that Severance Tann has already set a trap for him!
On a complex battlefield, such a trap is actually not big. Maybe one of your warships suddenly encountered the opponent's main gun salvo while turning, or the best range of the main gun was a few seconds before firing.
The bell was blocked by our own warship... Although it was small, there were countless such small traps added together...
This has become a completely irreversible defeat for the Republic Fleet!
However, just when Lieutenant General Scared almost fell into despair, another cutting-edge fleet finally entered the battlefield-the other half of the Rendili Defense Fleet battleships led by Lieutenant General Jane Dodenner that were captured by the Republic.
