Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Chapter 556: Bloody Battle At Bespin (12)

"General! Our landing force encountered tenacious resistance and suffered heavy losses!" The Staff Officer reported to the serious-looking Republic Admiral McGlenn among the Flagship.

"Give me a combat analysis immediately!" Admiral McGlenn said.

The Adjutant immediately projected a large amount of data and video images on the screen, saying: "The Separatists have set up a large number of Artillery positions in Cloud City. The Artillery Coverage of these Artillery positions overlaps with each other, and there are almost no dead ends. We mobilized Air Power to Bomb, but the mobility of these Artillery Tanks, combined with the protection of the Separatist Stealth Starfighters, has little effect."

He switched some pictures and videos and could see some of them, "In addition, the Separatists have a well-trained Army and are well-equipped. Their Standard Combat Uniforms have good defensive capabilities and do not affect operations. Our Soldiers saw more than once that the Shields on their bodies were hit by Blaster Beams, but they quickly stood up again. Correspondingly, although the Weapons they used were Projectile Weapons, their initial velocity was extremely fast and Capable of inflicting damage on our State-Of-The-Art Polymer Alloy Armor Plates."

"I heard from Rothana Heavy Engineering that the Polymer Alloy Armor they developed has good Energy Absorption and cushioning effects on Kinetic and Current-Driven Projectile Weapons unless the power exceeds the limit of the material, otherwise, they shouldn't have been shot through," McGlenn said.

"However, this is not the main reason for the defeat of our Soldiers... The Separatist Soldiers and the Droids cooperate very well. They often use the Droids to attract firepower, and then their own Soldiers outflank them. This kind of tactical quality is far from more than our Army." The Adjutant said, "Finally, under the order of the Frontline Commander Rasma, we gathered more than 400 Starfighters and carried out concentrated Bombing on the east side of Cloud City, and then we established a Landing Field and are concentrating our forces there. Now more than 20,000 Soldiers have successfully landed, and we are increasing the delivery volume and sending more AT-TE Walkers there."

Admiral McGlenn shook his head, "Doing so will make it impossible for us to take advantage of the number of Starfighters...Since the battlefield is concentrated, the Starfighters cannot be fully deployed. However, Rasma has his considerations and I agree. Since the quality of the Soldiers, If there is a large gap, increasing mechanical firepower is the only option, he is the Frontline Commander, and I will not interfere with his decision."

"Then we..."

"We still have Jedi Knights!" Admiral McGlenn said proudly, but his eyes were no longer so determined, "Do our best to cover the Ground Troops, no matter what, we have the Air Supremacy! Take the top floor! Starfighters, strengthen the offensive against the Separatist Fleet!"

...

Bespin Life Zone.

In this 30-kilometer-high, tens of thousands of kilometers long Life Zone, the Fierce Air Battle has not stopped. The Fleet of the Fourth Civilization and the Fleet of the Republic are constantly firing at each other with a safe power that will not cause damage to the atmosphere. Although this kind of shooting is not efficient, it can still cause damage to the opponent's Warship.

Of course, the protagonist of the battlefield has become a Starfighter.

Matt Horner dispatched almost all of his Starfighters, trying his best to fight against the Galactic Republic's overwhelmingly superior Starfighter Group, and the Garda-class Flak Destroyers in the Fleet also entered Bespin's Life Zone to assist the Air Force in the battle.

Not only that, the Anti-Aircraft firepower on those Floating Cities was also fully opened, pouring firepower at all approaching enemy Starfighters.

This is an uncomfortable battle for both sides. The Republic Fleet has begun to widen the gap with the Fourth Civilization Fleet in Artillery battles, and the number of Vulture Droid Starfighters of the Fourth Civilization is getting smaller and smaller. The pressure is also increasing.

Fortunately, the Fourth Civilization has an absolute advantage on the ground battlefield.

The Fourth Civilization here has a total of 3 Infantry Divisions, more than 50,000 people, 700,000 B-1 Battle Droids and 20,000 B-2 Super Battle Droids. Although it was an Infantry Division, considering the upcoming battle, Tang Xiao also strengthened this Army with more than 400 Siege Tanks.

The Army training of the Fourth Civilization has been very harsh since the establishment of the Army. There are even dozens to hundreds of Soldiers who die in the training every year. In addition, there are huge numbers of battle cases and data in the database for reference. , Among the first batch of hibernating talents, there are also many outstanding Soldiers and Officers.

Later, the joining of Army General Xian Hui brought the training level of the Fourth Civilization Army to a higher level. Such an Army is naturally incomparable to the Republic's Miscellaneous Troops.

Of course, the Republic also has an Army comparable to the Army of the Fourth Civilization - the Clone Legion, but this Army is still trapped on Geonosis eating mud.

Matt Horner was also listening to the report in his Flagship and Xiao Guanghua the Frontline Commander of the Fourth Civilization, kept sending good news.

At this time, Matt Horner suddenly realized that there was an extra person beside him!

He looked back suddenly, only to find that it was Darth Malthael wearing a black cloak, standing there quietly.

"Master Governor! When did you come?" Matt Horner quickly stood at attention and saluted.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to be the only one in the entire bridge who knew the Governor was coming, and the others were busy as usual, and even a few Staff Officers cast strange glances at him who was saluting towards the air.

"You don't need to call me Governor, now... I am the Angel of Death..." Tang Xiao said lightly, "Here I accept your command, you just need to tell me when you need me to attack and kill the opponent's Jedi Knights. That's it."

He glanced at Matt Horner, "I have already felt the fear in the heart of the opposing Commander. As long as the Jedi Knights can be killed, this battle will be our victory."

Matt Horner nodded, turned around, looked at the Holographic Projection and said: "The Jedi Knights of the Galactic Republic have been dispatched, a total of four. Two Jedi Knights and two Jedi Padawans flying Delta-7 Starfighters. It is precisely because of the existence of the 4 of them that our Wraith Starfighters suffered heavy losses. Up to now, they have shot down more than 30 Wraith Starfighters. If this continues, when the power of the Stealth Device is exhausted, our Ground Forces will be without Air Support for a long time."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Although I don't know about your power... Mr. Angel of Death, these four Jedi are still under the heavy protection of Thousands of Starfighters. It is obvious to kill them, the danger is great."

"If there is no opportunity... create an opportunity... an opportunity that only a Jedi can seize." Darth Malthael said: "I have blocked my Force, and they cannot perceive it from me through The Force. So now, what you need is to give them a chance."

Matt Horner thought for a while, and said to the messenger: "Command Xiao Guanghua, the Frontline Commander, to step up the offensive! Break through the Republic's defense line at the Landing Field at all costs, use all Droid Legions, and let them feel pressure! Then..."

He said proudly, "Fleet A spread out in forward formation! The Flagship rushes forward! I will be the bait myself!"
