Chapter 2064 The First Battle of Geonosis (Part 2)
2064, The First Battle of Geonosis (Part 2)
Three anti-orbital cannons were set up on the surface of the planet Geonosis. When the Cheer-class assault landing ship swooped down to land, these three cannons opened fire immediately! The thick green blaster beam hit the Cheer-class, almost instantly.
The deflector shield was overloaded in an instant, followed by another shot, and the hit landing ship suddenly fell down with billowing smoke in the midst of a huge explosion.
But even so, it also shows the Republic's sophisticated shipbuilding technology. The Cheer-class assault landing ship was designed and built by Rossana Heavy Engineering Company, a subsidiary of Quat Power Dockyard. The overall triangular shape is similar to the later design ideas.
The Victory-class Star Destroyer and the Imperial-class Star Destroyer are exactly the same. However, compared with the design of later Star Destroyers, the Cheer-class hull is flatter and wider, and the bridge is very small. And as a landing ship, the Cheer-class
The bottom armor of the ship was very thick. Under the bombardment of the anti-orbital cannon, five or six landing ships were seriously injured and fell, but they did not explode and disintegrate!
After entering the atmosphere, the 12 turbolaser turrets equipped on the Cheer class began to unleash their power, pouring powerful firepower at ground targets. The reason why the constitution of the Galactic Republic strictly prohibits orbital bombing is mainly because ground attacks launched outside the atmosphere will
It greatly damages the atmosphere. Moreover, the blaster beam launched by the blaster is still essentially an ionic gas. After volatilization, it will also cause huge pollution to the atmosphere. Often after a round of orbital bombing, the ecology of the planet will be destroyed.
It will cause great damage. For attacks in the atmosphere, the gas from the explosive beam will gradually sink to the ground after volatilization, and will be processed by the natural environment, without much impact.
After the Cheer class carried out the first round of bombing, it immediately opened the hatch. In the spacious hangar, more than a thousand Laat/i attack gunships took off one after another, rushing straight towards the surface of the planet Geonosis! Laat/i attack
The gunship has a wide and thick body, can carry 30 soldiers inside, and it also has powerful attack firepower. The two rapid-fire laser cannons equipped on the nose and the spherical anti-infantry laser turrets on both sides can provide very accurate and powerful ground firepower, and
There are also two missile launchers capable of air-to-air attacks.
After these gunboats landed, the hatches opened, and clone soldiers wearing white combat armor and full-coverage helmets wearing T-shaped eyepieces filed out. After landing, they immediately looked for bunkers very skillfully, and then moved forward in groups, showing extremely high
tactical literacy.
Those insect-like Geonosians flapped their wings and rushed out like locusts from the rock spiers on the surface of the planet, holding Geonosian blasters in an attempt to counterattack. But in the face of the well-trained clone army,
These messy counterattacks have no effect at all! These Geonosian warriors were swatted to death one by one like mosquitoes!
Following the clone troopers, there were more than 200 Jedi warriors who landed. They had a clear division of labor, and each led an army to attack. They waved their lightsabers to deflect the blaster beams or lasers fired by the other party.
If they bounce back, they can often attract the firepower of hundreds or thousands of defenders!
Hundreds of modified LAAT/C attack gunboats also appeared in the air. This gunboat removed the passenger cabin and replaced it with a heavy-duty pylon on which an AT-TE all-terrain tactical assault walker was hung!
This terrifying walking combat machine is 9.57 meters tall and 22.02 meters long. It is supported by six stubby mechanical legs. It is equipped with a huge heavy cannon on its back and six anti-infantry laser turrets, four of which are on the front and two on the front.
On the side. This heavily armored monster moved forward in an unstoppable manner as soon as it landed from the gunboat. The fixed firepower points set by the Confederacy were unable to destroy this walker, let alone those infantry units!
These LAAT attack gunships immediately took off again after putting down their personnel and AT-TE walkers, and rushed deep into the battlefield. Their goal was very clear, to eliminate the three anti-orbital cannons of Geonosis and destroy the entire
All the airports on the planet!
The current planet of Geonosis is not a combat configuration at all. Although Tang Yu has communicated with Count Dooku at least three times a day since he knew that he was going to have a meeting there, asking him to be more vigilant, Count Dooku only kept his troops in a combat state.
The entire planet of Geonosis is basically a large loading and unloading yard, and all the weapons and equipment inside are not configured to fight a battle.
Facing the bombardment of more than 2,000 laat gunships, the Geonosians were unable to organize effective resistance! Only more than a hundred Geonosian 'Nantex-class' starfighters took off to meet the enemy, but these fighters quickly
All the V-wing fighters rushed from the space battlefield were wiped out! Within 2 hours after the landing battle began, all 29 airports on the surface of Geonosis were destroyed, and the Republic Army completely occupied air superiority!
On the ground battlefield, the Confederate army, which had already entered a state of war preparation, also began to counterattack! The total number of assembled b-1 robot legions reached 1.1 million, launching attacks from three of the seven landing sites of the Republic! The Confederate robot legion consisted of 100,000 units
The b-2 super battle robot acted as the leader, launching an attack like a tide towards the landing position of the Republic Army.
At this time, other advanced robots equipped in the Confederate Army also joined the battle. In addition to the B-1 combat robot and B-2 super combat robot, which were the core units of the main battle, the short spider robots that could climb rocks and walls emerged from the surrounding areas.
It launches attacks on rocks; there is also a homing spider robot that is 7.32 meters tall, has a spherical body and four slender mechanical legs. The laser fired by a dish-shaped laser cannon under the body is almost devastating.
Almost everything! It is a miniaturized application derived from data research on the secret weapon 'Determinator' that Fran and Severance Tann previously seized from the Republic.
In addition, there is also a very conspicuous robot tank ig-227 fire robot. This robot tank has a pair of ring rollers on both sides. It is not big, but it is equipped with two sets of 15 missile launchers. They rush into the battlefield at high speed,
Launch countless missile rains. The accuracy of this missile is not high, but its power is terrifying!
Under the powerful firepower of the Blazing Robot tanks and the Homing Spider Robots, the AT-TE walkers that the Republic army advanced finally suffered losses. After the Blazing Robot's missile rain covered the fire, only a series of violent fires were seen.
After the explosion, the soldiers around the AT-TE walker were basically cleared, and the shield of the walker was also overloaded. Then the powerful laser cannon of the homing spider robot directly irradiated the AT-TE, and the extremely powerful energy even
The walking machine was directly punched through!
However, the response of the clone army was also very fast. The laat gunboat immediately launched an air attack on these threatening fire robots and homing spider robots. The Confederate Army, which had no air power cover at all, had no ability to resist the air attack. These robots
It was cleared at a precise point, and then there was nothing on the ground that could stop the AT-TE walker!
…
On one side of the battlefield, more than 20 Laat gunships, under the cover of more than 10 V-wing fighters, headed towards Mount Imtwe, the core area of the planet Geonosis. On one of the Laat gunships, Master Yoda stood up
Crutch stood in the cabin, and Master Windu, Master Shaak-Ti, Master Plo-Kon and other members of the Jedi Council were also there.
"Obi-Wan received a report from the President of the Guardian Planet Tang Yu before, so he went to investigate Count Dooku on his own. Now he has determined that Dooku has fallen to the dark side. According to the news he sent, Count Dooku is on a large scale.
Prepare for war and prepare for open independence, and now it seems that it is indeed the case! If this huge army spreads, it will have catastrophic consequences for the entire galaxy!" Master Windu said in a deep voice.
"Rescue Obi-Wan and capture Count Dooku, we must. Otherwise, war will break out throughout the galaxy." Master Yoda said briefly. He looked at Mount Imtwe, his eyes full of anxiety.
…
In the outer space of Geonosis, the battle taking place in the universe has begun to show a one-sided trend. The fleet of the Confederation of Independent Systems has completely lost its formation, and is divided into pieces by the Aquitens-class light cruiser, each fighting on its own.
The 16 Jaeger-class cruisers as the main force of the Republic Fleet already have advantages in firepower, shields and speed. Under such circumstances, they are even more unstoppable!
More than half of the Confederate warships' shields have been broken through, and they can only rely on their own armor to withstand the opponent's powerful firepower. It has been 5 hours since the battle started, and there are already 7 Generous class frigates and 1 Providence class cruiser.
and three Disobedient-class destroyers were destroyed, the destruction of the Confederate fleet was already a matter of time.
"Where...where did these fleets come from? The previous judicial fleets were not like this!" General Kavictok, the commander of the Confederate fleet, shouted at a loss. He desperately found that the warships controlled by his robots were no match for the opponent at all!
"According to the battle reports sent from the ground battlefield, those participating in the battle are a group of elite troops newly recruited by the Republic, which means these are the same people who control their battleships." the tactical robot replied.
"Then what should we do? What should we do? Let's run away..." Kavictok was already at a loss.
"Count Dooku and the leaders of the business giants who participated in the secret summit have not yet evacuated. If we escape now, we will face the severest punishment." the tactical robot said.
At this moment, the bridge hatch opened, and White Queen Emma Frost led four B-2 super battle robots directly to Kavictok.
"You...who are you? How did you get in?" Kavictok was startled.
"She has the highest level of authorization provided by Count Dooku, and she specifically asked me not to tell you when she issued the boarding request." the tactical robot replied.
"You! How dare you..." Kavictok was so shocked and angry that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"I don't want to say anything else. Count Dooku is very dissatisfied with your command. You can get out now." Emma said coldly.
"Me? Get out? You...you..." Kavictok didn't know what to say for a moment and was stunned.
However, at this moment, Emma suddenly took out the hilt of the sword at her waist, pressed the switch, and the red lightsaber shot out instantly. Then the bright red sword light flashed, and Kavictok was immediately chopped into two pieces!
The B-2 robot next to him immediately came over and dragged his body aside. Emma came to the commander's position and sat down, and said to the tactical robot: "Inform all battleships immediately, don't get entangled with the Republic battleships, and enter Geonosi immediately.
The planetary ring of the planet Sri Lanka, use all your strength to cover the twenty Rookery Hook-class battleships, and then prepare to retreat!"
"Understood, I'll do it immediately." The tactical robot replied respectfully.
Under Emma's very clear command, the Confederate fleet immediately began to regroup. In the process of turning, several more battleships were destroyed, but they finally stabilized their position in the planetary ring. But at this time
, a huge spherical core spaceship loaded with a large number of robot troops has taken off from the planet and reintegrated into the center of the ring of the Rookery Hook-class battleship. The battleship that completed the integration immediately restored its combat effectiveness, and the powerful turbolaser turret continued
Open fire, pouring powerful firepower towards the Republic fleet.
Not only that, the asteroids scattered throughout the planetary ring also affected the performance of the V-wing fighters of the Republic fleet, preventing them from entering the blind spot to attack these Rookery Hook-class battleships. After a wave of firefights, four Akuis immediately
The Tens-class light cruiser and a Chasseur-class cruiser were destroyed, and the Republic fleet also lost the chance to annihilate the Confederate fleet!
