Of the 10 Jaeger-class battlecruisers left in outer space by the Republic fleet, after a fierce battle, only 4 remained relatively intact and entered the atmosphere of the planet Malastar.
The fallen warship fragments and parts seemed to rain down fire in the sky. The smaller ones were burned directly in the atmosphere, while the larger ones fell like heavy bombs, causing serious damage to the ground. .
After severely damaging half of the Republic fleet, the 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers led by Severance Tann did not stop much. Except for 3 battleships that could only be left behind due to severe damage, the remaining 32 ships were opened The hyperspace engine actually left directly!
The Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser formation passed through the planet Harlan-Kal, which has now joined the Confederation of Independent Systems, and then entered the Rhima trade route to the planet Sullest.
After that, this fleet will be stationed on the industrially developed planet Saleste, and it can also deter the 18th Army of the Republic, which has launched several attacks here before. Severance Tann and Adi Ga Leah will take the shuttle back to the planet Glenzon.
In the upcoming general attack on the planet Eriadu, the planet Sullest will also play a very important role.
…
At the same time, the surface of Malastar planet.
Obi-Wan Kenobi looked up at the burning sky, the falling fragments of burning battleships, silent... His lips were trembling slightly, not sure if it was fear, sadness, or... anger.
"We were fooled by the separatists." Ferrus Olin said from the side, "Even if it were any other situation, Master Kep-Xie's fleet would not have lost so miserably... Without the cover of fighter jets, Hunter A troop-class battlecruiser has no ability to survive three times the number of Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers..."
He also put away his previous arrogance and anger, because one of the people involved in the decision-making at that time included himself. He understood that the separatist general Severance Tann had a tight grasp on their psychology. Then they did the opposite and designed a wonderful trap for them to jump into.
After experiencing this, Ferrus-Olin finally understood how far away he was from revenge.
"She used a similar strategy once on the planet Geonosis. Today, it was just the other way around." Obi-Wan Kenobi said, "And she abandoned the ground troops and left directly. She should also It is very clear that even if we only have half of the battleships left, and with the cooperation of fighter jets, she has absolutely no chance of victory with the power in her hands. But... is it really that simple?"
Two Delta-7 fighter jets fell from the sky and stopped steadily in the open space ahead. The fighter jet doors opened and two female Jedi jumped out.
They are all Mirios with sallow complexion. The leader is about 30 years old and is the Jedi Master Luminara Unduli. The girl behind him who is less than 20 years old is her apprentice. ,Barriss Offee.
Luminara came over and said: "The separatist triple robot fighters have dispersed and retreated. I have been wondering before, how could it be possible for only 35 Dreadnought-class heavy cruisers to carry so many fighters. Now it seems that they should be on the planet.
Some airports and military bases were seized."
Barriss-Offei looked at the sky and said worriedly: "But Master Kep-Xie..."
"She has returned to the Force..." Obi-Wan Kenobi said seriously.
"But our fight must continue!" Luminara Anduli said seriously, "If we fail because we are immersed in sorrow, Master Kep's sacrifice will become meaningless. I have also asked him just now
Our air power has been repaired, and tomorrow we will bomb the confirmed separatist-controlled areas in Pixel City."
She looked back at the sky, only to see that the Republic's fighter groups were beginning to return to the warships for repairs, and there were still about 3,000 fighter jets that were homeless. These fighter jets landed on the temporary flat airport, or contacted the local police.
Government forces of the Ge and Gran people were asked to provide a spaceport for berthing.
"But the Separatist ground forces..." Obi-Wan Kenobi looked solemn, "Severance Tann has proven countless times that she is one of the best commanders in the galaxy. Every one of her
All actions contain deep-seated purposes, so why did she leave the ground troops alone?"
"As mentioned before, it is impossible for 35 Dreadnought-class ships to defeat 10 Jaeger-class ships with fighter cover. She should preserve the fleet strength to the maximum extent." Ferrus-Olin said.
Obi-Wan Kenobi shook his head and said: "The last time we simply tried to figure out her strategy, it just led to the sacrifice of Master Kep-Shay."
"Then what do you think we should do!?" Ferus Olin was a little impatient.
"Tomorrow, Master Luminara will command the air force cover, and then you will lead the ground troops to attack Pixel City. I will secretly sneak into the city to meet with the leaders of the Gran and the Dagur respectively." Obi-Wan Kenno
Bee looked at Ferus, nodded and said, "Please."
Ferrus Olin obviously didn't expect that Obi-Wan would make such an arrangement without any grudges. He was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded heavily, "I will treat every Separatist who appears in front of me."
Soldiers, crush them completely!"
Obi-Wan Kenobi continued: "Our warships are not suitable for direct bombing of Pixel City. I will ask the fleet commander to use warships to blockade the surrounding area of Pixel City and cut off any foreign aid that the separatists may have! As long as we can recapture Pixel City
, whatever conspiracy Severance Tann has, it will be revealed to the world!"
…
21BBY, March 35.
As the AT-TE tactical assault walker and AV-7 self-propelled artillery roared, powerful shells fell from the sky and exploded outside Pixel City!
The Clone Legion of the Galactic Republic launched the first wave of attack with the TX-130 Saber-class assault tank as the leader!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!! The shells kept falling, and the huge explosion even made the ground tremble!
Xiao Guanghua, Major General of the Fourth Civilization Army and commander-in-chief of the ground forces in the Marastal Battle, stood in the command center set up underground in the city. Every time a shell exploded, a large amount of dust fell from the ceiling. He raised his hand for the Nth time
Wiping off the dust on the holographic projection screen, looking at the intertwined battlefield situation of red and blue on the map, he said in a deep voice: "General Severance Tann has reached the plan and left. Next, there are only
