626, Battle of Christophsis (4)
Planet Christophsis, Outer Space, 22BBY, August 1.
White light flashed intensively, and a total of 20 Jaeger-class battlecruisers escaped from the hyperspace channel. Before these battleships could stop, a violent attack struck, and dozens of particle beams shone over, lighting up the dark universe.
.
The Confederate Fleet of Independent Systems deployed along the equatorial orbit of Christophsis opened fire at the same time it detected the hyperspace jump. 30 Hiigaran-class battlecruisers, 1 Divinity-class destroyer, 5 Generosity-class communications frigates and
Six Rookery Hook-class battleships opened fire and attacked the Republic fleet.
The Chasseur-class battlecruiser was also unceremonious, raising its shields, aiming forward and firing immediately. All battleship engines were running at full speed, and they began to rush towards the defense line of the Confederate fleet.
When the distance between the two sides approached 10 light seconds, the Jaeger-class battlecruisers deployed their bow hangar platforms one after another, and large groups of fighter jets took off one after another, attacking the Confederate defense line like locusts.
These fighters are still mainly V-19 Riptide light fighters. The Z-95 Headhunter fighter has basically begun to be gradually phased out of active service in the Republic Navy. The existing Z-95 is undergoing modernization and modification.
The Republic fighters followed the same tactics as before. They planned to first use V-19 fighter jets to gain sufficient air superiority, and then start taking off Y-wing bombers to attack the opponent's warships.
"Take off, Vulture fighter planes, protect our warships...tsk tsk tsk tsk..." On the Shenyi-class destroyer as the flagship, Admiral Trench gave the order word by word.
The hangar platform on the Rookery Hook-class battleship was fully deployed, and thousands of Vulture robots were released densely, heading towards the Republic's fighter group.
Countless lasers and missiles suddenly exploded in the universe, and the dark starry sky seemed to suddenly have a large patch of stars, becoming more gorgeous.
"The second wave of fighters is ready to take off! The first and second squadrons maneuver to both wings! Notify the light cruiser fleet and enter hyperspace immediately!" On the flagship of the Republic fleet, the Negotiator (or) Jaeger-class battlecruiser, the fleet commanded
Officer Wulf-Yularen gave orders in an orderly manner.
Soon, more fighter jets took off and began to strangle the Confederacy's Vulture robot fighters, and the Jaeger-class battlecruisers also began to arrange themselves in a claw-shaped array, with turbolaser turrets firing non-stop.
However, in this long-range artillery battle, the firepower of the Chasseur-class battlecruiser was still suppressed by the Confederate fleet. The two twin-mounted heavy particle beam cannons of the Higra-class battlecruiser were extremely powerful, and every time they were irradiated,
Let the Jaeger-class shield flash violently.
Moreover, the artillery fire of the Generous-class communication frigates is also very fierce. Although the overall performance of these warships is very different from that of the Jaeger-class warships, in this situation, their strengths can best be used.
Under the command of Admiral Trench, the Confederate warships advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, constantly adjusting their formations according to the opponent's firepower to ensure that their own warships were not attacked by concentrated fire.
Admiral Wolf-Yularen on the opposite side was doing the same thing.
Sometimes this kind of space fleet battle is just like this. There is no conspiracy or fancy, just like two chess players playing chess, testing each other, and no one dares to take a step beyond the limit.
But soon, Admiral Wolf-Yularen took action!
The hyperspace detection device in Admiral Trench's flagship blared the alarm, followed by a flash of white light, and 15 new warships joined the battlefield, and it was the Aquitens-class light cruiser!
After this 325-meter-long light cruiser broke into the battlefield, it immediately used its maneuverability to continue to circumvent both sides, and helped its own V-19 fighter group to destroy the Confederacy's Vulture robot fighters faster.
Admiral Wulf-Yularen's previous arrangement came into effect. He had his fleet spread out to both wings from the beginning, which forced Admiral Trench to make changes to his fleet accordingly.
And now the addition of 15 Aquitens-class light cruisers has gradually turned the formation of the Republic fleet into a pocket, posing a serious threat to the flanks of the Confederate Fleet of Independent Systems.
Admiral Trench is also very experienced. Now that the Republic has begun to gain an advantage in terms of maneuverability and fighter jets, he has not continued to be led by the opponent, but has actively begun to shrink his formation and try his best to take advantage of the firepower of his own warships.
But in this way, there is a loophole in his blockade of the planet Christophsis!
The six Cheer-class assault landing ships then left the hyperspace channel and joined the battle. Under the command of Admiral Wolf-Yularen, they began to rush directly to the planet Christophsis and launch a landing!
"It seems that our first phase of the operation has been successfully completed." Admiral Wolf-Yularen looked at the screen in front of him. Four Jaeger-class cruisers were severely damaged, one lost combat capability, and seven were slightly damaged.
.
On the opposite side of the Confederate Fleet of Independent Systems, two Hiigaran-class battlecruisers and two Generosity-class frigates were destroyed, and 13 Hiigaran-class ships were visually observed to be on fire, of which three were seriously on fire and had obvious defects in their outer armor.
For the Republic Fleet, this is indeed a satisfactory answer.
Moreover, despite the loss of more than 200 V-19 Torrent fighter jets, the Republic's fighter force killed more than 1,000 of the opponent's Vulture robot fighters, maintaining firm control of the airspace as always.
Standing next to Admiral Yularen, Obi-Wan Kenobi crossed his arms and frowned as he looked at the Confederate fleet shrinking its defense line on the screen. "I always feel that the Separatist fleet was defeated too quickly. They seemed to
I couldn't wait to retreat and started to retreat... Although this inference has no basis, the force has been stirring my feelings. It is not dangerous, but it breeds darkness."
"I don't care about your Force power. All I can do is judge the battle situation. Next, I will take off the Y-wing bomber group to conduct further attacks on the separatist fleet." Woolf-Young
Admiral Lahren said.
Obi-Wan Kenobi nodded slowly and said, "Where is Anakin? Our ground forces still need his command."
"He just got in touch with our communications department 10 minutes ago. He is at the free port on the planet Rodia. He has commandeered a cargo ship and is on his way," Wolf-Yularen said.
On the planet Christophsis, the huge bodies of the six Cheer-class assault landing ships passed through the atmosphere, ignited the surrounding clouds, and descended surrounded by flames. Almost at the same time, powerful firepower began to attack the independent
The area controlled by the System Confederacy troops bombed the area, then landed on the ground and began to unload ground combat troops.
Participating in the battle were the 327th Interstellar Legion and the 501st Legion of the Grand Republic Army's Clone Forces. They first went to the planet Tes a day ago, cleared away the remaining robot troops there, and removed Captain Rex and the remaining more than 100 clones.
The human soldiers rescued him, and after the Hutts released Tatooine's shipping lane, they came here via Tatooine.
In addition to these troops, they also carried a large amount of supplies to support the resistance operations on the planet Christophsis.
It was a dark day for Confederate ground commander Worm-Lotham.
