The Battle of Geonosis (5)

At this moment, on the bridge of the Implacable Acclamator Flagship, Master Yoda, who had been standing there with a cane, watching his nose, and heart without saying a word, suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and said to Meebur Gascon: "Approaching, great danger."

Meebur Gascon was stunned, but out of trust in the Jedi Knights and Master Yoda, he asked, "Master Yoda, do the Separatists still have reinforcements?"

"Well..." Master Yoda nodded, thought for a while and said: "Land on the planet, start as soon as possible. No fighting, land the Soldiers."

Meebur Gascon nodded, and immediately issued an order, "The landing team immediately get rid of the entanglement, enter the atmosphere immediately, and launch an attack according to the original plan!"

Twelve Acclamator-class Assault Ships full of Clone Troopers immediately gave up the fight and flew towards the atmosphere of Geonosis.

When the huge spaceships passed through the atmosphere, the surrounding air was squeezed and rubbed and began to burn, and it looked as if the clouds in the sky were ignited.

According to the previous scan and plan, the 12 Acclamator-class Assault Ships will focus on attacking the assembly point in the eastern hemisphere of Geonosis.

After the Battleships entered the atmosphere, they immediately bombarded the ground targets violently. At the same time, a large number of V-19 Torrent Fighters took off and began to seize air supremacy.

The Defense Forces of Geonsis also immediately launched a large number of Fighters to meet them, but the Fighters of the Republic relied on the powerful firepower of the Acclamator-class Assault Ship to easily destroy the Geonosian Air Force.

General Grievous yelled at Trabo in the communication, but it was still of no avail. The 10 Munificent-class Frigates in the hands of this mediocre man were completely entangled by 7 Acclamator-class Assault Ships, and he did not dare to leave easily fearing loss, can only continue to stalemate.

But the Geonosians still organized a large number of Ground Troops, and countless Anti-Aircraft Turrets were lifted from their hidden places, firing wildly at the Acclamators in the sky. Even if the three Anti-Orbital Cannons were destroyed, they still had enough firepower that the Republic Fleet could not fly directly over them and blow them to pieces.

Afterwards, 12 Acclamator-class Assault Ships began to fly a large number of Low Altitude Assault Transports. There are two types of LAAT Carriers. The larger one is the LAAT/C type, which is 28.82 meters long and has an empty belly. There is only one pylon, which can be used to transport large Mechanical Equipment.

The other is the LAAT/I type, which is relatively small, 17.4 meters long and 17 meters wide. The belly is a spacious cockpit that can carry, 30 Clone Troopers, 4 Speeders and 1 IM-6 Medical Droid.

This Assault Transport Carrier has powerful firepower, and it can be said that it is armed to the teeth. Equipped with Anti-Personnel Laser Turrets, 1 behind the doors and 2 at the front, Four Composite-Beam Pinpoint Laser Turrets, 2 behind the cockpit and 2 others on the wings, above are two Mass-Driver Missile Launchers with 30 rounds of ammunition, and 4 Light Air-To-Air Rockets installed under the wings. (Later on, they were also equipped with a Droid Buster Launcher, a Magnetic-Pulse Weapon with EMP effects).

These LAATs were loaded with Personnel and Equipment and took off from the Hangar of the Acclamator-class Assault Ship. After bombarding the ground indiscriminately, they landed on the ground to put down the personnel and equipment, and then returned to the Battleship to continue sending people off.

After the well-trained Clone Troopers got off the LAATs, they immediately took their positions, established landing positions, and set up Command Centers and Artillery Positions at all levels.

The surface of Geonosis immediately fell into flames of war. The Clone Army of the Republic launched an attack on the Main Lair of Geonosis from 12 different directions. They immediately destroyed almost all the Airports on the surface of the Planet and cut off the connection of the area forming a siege to the Main Lair.

The Geonosians were not to be outdone, and an Army of 1.1 million B-1 Battle Droids was assembled to launch a counterattack in their direction while the Clone Army was still landing and deploying.

Master Yoda also took one of the LAAT/Is to the ground, and gathered dozens of LAAT Gunships to fly directly in the direction of the arena, preparing to rescue Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi and to respond to Master Windu who was still fighting in the underground factory.

And at this moment, a sudden change occurred in space!

On the Republic's Flagship Implacable, the Tactical Advisor Meebur Gascon received an urgent communication from the Majestic Battleship fighting in space, "Colonel! We detected a Hyperspace Jump Signal! It belongs to a Large Battleship!"

"Impossible! The information given by the intelligence department is that the Separatist Fleets are basically stationed! Where can they get more Fleets?!" Meebur Gascon was shocked.

"I don't know, maybe the information is wrong, maybe it's Separatism or other unknown forces." The Captain said.

Meebur Gascon's eyes became serious.

In fact, no matter how those Senators quarreled in the Senate, how to turn over and over the discussion of the "Military Creation Act" was not passed, the Military of the Republic was not idle.

As the atmosphere of war became stronger and stronger, the Republic Strategic Command started intelligence work very early. Because the two sides were originally a family, the flow of personnel was very complicated, so in fact, information such as which Shipyards the two sides had and how many Spaceships they had built was basically available.

The same is true for the Fourth Civilization itself. There are more or less informants providing intelligence to the Republic in several of their major outlying industrial bases. This is impossible to guard against, but the only thing they are better about is the Star Ring of Dawn, because the cohesion of the Fourth Civilization can be said to be second to none in the entire Galaxy, so the Republic is not very clear about the intelligence of Dawn itself.

Of course, with the official outbreak of the war, it will become more and more difficult for the warring parties to infiltrate each other. At this time, the intelligence can only be obtained at the front line.

At present, according to the intelligence of the Republic's Ministry of Intelligence, most of the Separatist Fleets are staying at the station without any action, and the monitoring stations on several major Hyperspace Channels have not sent any signals of large-scale Hyperspace Jumps. At this time, where Coming Fleet?

But it was too late for him to continue thinking. A large-scale white light flickered outside the gravity well of Geonosis, and then 15 Large Battleships appeared!

This kind of Battleship is 1100 meters long and has a long strip shape. Some of them have big heads and small bodies. The four Large Laser Cannons at the front are very conspicuous. Seeing these Battleships appearing on the screen, Meebur Gascon stared, "This is... a new type of Separatist Warship built by Dawn on Sy Myrth, the Kol-class Battlecruiser! Bastard! Where did they come from!?"

At this time, a signal was connected to the public channel, and a heroic Female General appeared on the screen in a White General Uniform, with high leather boots, blue skin, red eyes, and big wavy hair.

She crossed her legs and looked at this side jokingly, "Oh? Unprepared? Is this the level of the Commander of the Galactic Republic Fleet? Not as good as the freshmen of our Naval Academy."

Meebur Gascon said through gritted teeth, "Separatists! We'll see!"

"Hahahaha! Did your Hyperspace Outpost only detect the Main Hyperspace Lane? For me, who has been fighting in what you call the 'Unknown Regions' for a long time, no matter how complicated the Hyperspace Lane is, it is smooth. It seems that you also It's just a bunch of mediocre people who only know how to read." The Female General laughed loudly, "Before you die, remember my name! Sev'rance Tann, this will be a nightmare for the Galactic Republic!"

With a click, the communication was cut off. At the same time, the Four Heavy Laser Cannons on the front of the 15 Kol-class Battlecruisers lit up with a burst of dazzling energy light, and then a total of 60 Laser Beams were irradiated on the Acclamator-class Assault Ships that were fighting with the Confederate Fleet.

"Arkon is under laser attack! Confirmed to be an X-Band Laser!"

"The Energy of the Shield has decreased by 20%, hurry up! Turn! Turn!!" The Republic Warship that was attacked suddenly became a mess.

Meebur Gascon hurriedly said loudly: "All ships regroup and get out of battle! Repeat! Get out of battle!"

At the same time, the voice of Master Yoda also came from the communication, "Support the space battlefield, after completing the landing, as soon as possible."

"Yes! Inform the Landing Troops and return to space immediately after dropping off all the Troops!" Meebur Gascon immediately issued an order.

However, it is easier said than done! Each Acclamator-class Assault Ship carried 16,000 Clone Troopers and corresponding Equipment, a total of 200,000 Clone Troopers! They carried a total of 1,000 LAAT/I's and 400 LAAT/C's, and it took many round trips to put all the personnel down.

And at this moment in space, there are only 7 Acclamator-class Assault Ships fighting the 10 Munificent-class Frigates and 15 Kol-class Battlecruisers!

Sev'rance Tann's ability is absolutely top-notch!

At the same time, Sev'rance Tann connected to the communication of Admiral Trabo, the Commander of the Confederacy, she almost pointed her nose at him, and said arrogantly: "Stop your stupid commands! Give me the command of your Warships—if you don't want to go to court-martial!"

"No...you don't have the right to do this..." Trabo still wanted to fight, "I belong to Governor Nute Gunray..."

Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the neck by a Force that appeared out of thin air! Sev'rance Tann raised her hand to hold the void, and Trabo struggled immediately, her eyes full of horror.

"I said, give me the command of your Fleet. Idiots are not qualified to command the Fleet." Sev'rance Tann said coldly.

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and Trabo was immediately thrown aside by an Invisible Force.

This time he didn't dare to disobey, and quickly handed over the identification code and authority to Sev'rance Tann.

Sev'rance Tann said coldly: "Now I am your Commander, immediately send the status of each ship, and prepare to listen to my next order."

"Yes... yes..." The Captains of the Munificent-class Frigates had long been overwhelmed by Sev'rance Tann's aura, and hurriedly asked the T-series Tactical Droids equipped beside them to report the situation of their respective Warships.

Sev'rance Tann looked at the situation of the Munificent-class Frigates on the screen, only to see that the Shields of these Warships had been damaged by 30-70% of the Shields, and none of the Shields was broken down.

This was also caused by the previous chaos. In fact, the two warring parties were fighting wildly. Meebur Gascon's purpose was only to entangle Trabo's Fleet and create opportunities for them to land, so he took the initiative to break the battle into chaos, which also made the firepower of both sides very scattered.

Admiral Trabo is indeed an idiot. He is unprepared for this chaotic battle. He is completely unable to exert the firepower of the two Heavy-Duty Turbolaser Cannons directly in front of the Munificent-class Frigate. He just keeps accompanying the Republic Battleship in circles.

Therefore, although the two sides have been fighting for a while, both sides have achieved nothing.

In fact, this also shows how unfamiliar the war was at the beginning after thousands of years of peace, from Officers to Soldiers on both sides.

Sev'rance Tann flicked her fingertips, and countless data passed through her mind, then filtered, reorganized, and determined the plan. Then she started giving orders...

"...abandon the attack on the Republic Battleships Lia, Valiant, and Borg. Attacking them will only confuse the formation."

"The No. 7, No. 9, and No. 10 ships of the Munificent-class give up their current targets and form a temporary attack team. The main guns are aimed at the Republic Battleship Majestic for three rounds of salvo."

"The 2nd and 6th ships of the Munificent-class gave up their attack, retreat, reorganize, and concentrated their firepower to drive away the Republic's Fighters."

"The No. 1, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 ships of the Munificent-class spread out to both sides and let the Kol-class Battlecruisers get in a shooting circle. Divide into two combat groups at the same time, and concentrate their firepower to attack the Republic Battleship Arkon."

...

After a series of instructions, the actions of the 10 Munificent-class Frigates of the Trabo Fleet began to be organized, and they began to move very purposefully. The 10 Warships were divided into four battle groups by her, and she gave up attacking those Acclamators that were deep into the formation like shit sticks, and instead focused on attacking the relatively outer Battleships.

In this way, the powerful Frontal Main Guns of the Munificent-class Frigate can finally be brought into play.

After another volley, the Shield of the Battleship Arkon on the Republic's side was penetrated immediately, and then the Kol-class Battlecruiser on the side fired another volley of 60 Laser Beams! The powerful Energy immediately burned through the Armor of the Arkon. If it wasn't for the Armor of the Acclamator-class, which molecularly atomizes the Neutron Star Material and then collapses between the metal molecular bonds, which have unimaginable strength, the spaceship would have already fallen apart!

But even so, the series of concentrated attacks still caused heavy damage to the Arkon. The rear half of the Battleship was billowing with thick smoke, and flames continued to be ejected from the cabin, and then instantly extinguished in the vacuum of space.

At this time, Sev'rance Tann said to the T-series Tactical Droid beside her: "Have you calculated it? According to the rotation rate of Geonosis."

"The calculation has been completed and has been sent to your command terminal."

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Tann's mouth, "So, when will you come up? The mediocrity of the Republic..."
