No one in the Galactic Republic fleet, from the commander to the pilots, can be prepared for the Spear-class and the Rough-class spacecraft, which have almost the same appearance but different functions and extremely powerful performance!
These two types of light frigates have been one of the top secrets of the Fourth Civilization since their inception. All tests were conducted in the Endor system, and spies could not penetrate them at all.
Because the development goal of these two light frigates was to target the fighter groups of the Galactic Republic. At that time, the Fourth Civilization already had ghost fighters. Ordinary pirates did not pose a threat at all, and there was no need for such frigates to go into battle.
So now, the Galactic Republic knows nothing about this kind of spacecraft!
The interference rays of the Spear-class frigate can interfere with the energy response in the spacecraft engine, causing the engine output to decrease and thus reduce the speed. The disintegration rays of the Manghan-class frigate can directly destroy the armor of enemy ships at the molecular level, but the power is actually not very great. In actual combat tests
, it is of little use against warships of more than 300 meters such as the Apocalypse-class light cruiser, let alone threatening main battleships with a length of 1,000 meters.
But if the combat target becomes a fighter jet, the low-power shield of the fighter jet will not be able to block the exposure of these two types of rays, and the result will be fatal.
300 Spear-class light frigates and 100 Rough-class light frigates took off from the floating city, mixed in among the Vulture robot fighters and Ghost fighters, causing terrible damage to the Galactic Republic's fighter group!
"H-42 Squadron lost contact!"
"J-11 Squadron lost 9 fighter jets and requested to retreat!"
"The engine failed! The engine...ah!!!!"
The flight control command centers of each Jäger-class battlecruiser were filled with such tragic calls, which raised eyebrows. But for the fleet commander, Admiral McGrane, he only said one word: "Attack!"
Even though fighter jets were being lost at an alarming rate, that was all he said.
Not for anything else, just because he has enough fighter jets!
Compassion is the most basic quality. Admiral McGrane saw clearly that even though the Phantom fighters and those small spacecraft were almost crushing his own fighters, their numbers were too few after all.
400 small spaceships and less than 1,000 ghost fighters.
As for the Galactic Republic, even though the fighter units continued to suffer losses after fierce battles, the number of remaining available fighters displayed on the screen in front of him was still...
11109!
That's right, even though he has lost more than 4,000 fighter jets before and after, he still has 11,109 in hand!
In comparison, out of the 2,400 Vulture robot fighters that the separatists took off to attack in this batch, there are less than 800 left!
Including the previous loss of more than 2,000 Vulture robot fighters, the separatists directly lost half of their air cover force.
When these vulture robot fighters are completely lost, it is when these separatist ghost fighters and small spaceships face the overwhelmingly numerically superior Galactic Republic fighter group alone without cover!
At that time, the real victory or defeat will be determined!
…
"Attack!!" was the same word in Matt Horner's mouth.
The battleships of the Fourth Civilization accelerated their speed and continuously attacked the fleet of the Galactic Republic, while constantly firing with maximum firepower!
Whether it is a Cole-class battlecruiser or a Hiigara-class battlecruiser, they can exert maximum firepower when facing the enemy head-on. This is the biggest difference between the battleships of the Fourth Civilization and the battleships of the Galactic Republic.
The decisive attack of the Republic fleet, and the ambush of the invisible hangar platform and aerial mine formation by the Jedi Knights directly saw through it, leaving Matt Horner with only this option.
He must rush over now, with the goal of killing and injuring the Republic fleet as much as possible before it breaks into Bespin's life zone.
The giant super-matter electromagnetic gun in front of the Cole-class battlecruiser recharged and fired a salvo!!
Dozens of dazzling lights lit up, which also meant that a giant cannonball with a diameter of 40 meters directly hit the target at one-tenth the speed of light.
The two Jaeger-class battlecruisers were directly blasted into two pieces by such firepower! The wreckage of the battleships exploded continuously and lost power, but they continued to move forward under the influence of inertia.
Behind these battleships are more wreckage and debris, forming a debris belt that stretches for thousands of kilometers and is dozens of kilometers wide.
But finally, the remaining 39 Jaeger-class battlecruisers of the Galactic Republic entered the Bespin life zone.
"The main guns cease fire." Matt Horner took a deep breath and said, "Enter the Bespin life zone!"
The Bespin Life Zone is a 30-kilometer-high atmospheric space located 150 kilometers to 180 kilometers away from the outer atmosphere of the gas giant Bespin. The atmospheric composition here is a zone where most intelligent life forms in the Milky Way can survive.
As the name suggests, the Bespin Life Belt is a gift from the Bespin planet to all living beings, and it is also a symbol of giving life to this cold planet.
There are more than 10 million people living in more than a dozen floating cities here, half of whom live in the largest floating city - Cloud City.
Matt Horner can't give this order...
Because if this thousand-meter-level warship fires at full power, the power of the main gun can easily destroy the atmosphere of Bespin's life zone, turning this place into a complete death zone!
The consequences of this are equivalent to direct orbital bombing on a densely populated planet. No one can withstand the coming storm, not even Tang Xiao.
Because no one wants to live under a tyrant who slaughters an entire planet at the slightest disagreement, especially when they have other options.
Even if it is the Fourth Civilization, a bellicose and aggressive civilization that Tang Xiao single-handedly created, he must disguise his aggressive behavior as a fight for freedom and an act of liberation against the tyranny of the Republic. If this is untenable,
He cannot rule these planets with different ideologies and even races.
Of course, he can also fight his way through. As long as he is strong enough, he can just become the emperor in the ruins - if he is still willing at that time.
Now that the Galactic Republic fleet has sailed directly into the Bespin life zone, their intention is very clear - resist firepower along the way and use the lost warships as interest. Now we both will fight it out in the ground battle.
Matt Horner has to fight, and he has to fight.
Even if such a result is equivalent to sealing off the greatest firepower advantage of his fleet, he can only do this.
You can say that the Galactic Republic is acting rogue, but this is war... If your defenses fail to prevent the other party's landing action, then the only thing left to do is what comes next!
The fleet of the Fourth Civilization broke into the Bespin life zone. The warships on both sides were still firing non-stop, but they also limited the main gun power to a safe power. This shooting power is in the database of each warship.
For the record, shooting at this power will not damage the atmosphere.
Among the ancient war cases of the Galactic Republic, except for those wars that were really red-blooded and massacred all the way, once the fleets of both sides entered such a battle mode in the planet's atmosphere, if the victory was determined by artillery battles alone,
I'm afraid it will take several days.
At this time, fighter jets and ground troops have become the real protagonists!
