The Battle of Christophsis (18)

"Attack! The Communication Tower must be captured as soon as possible!" Anakin Skywalker shouted, and rushed up with a Lightsaber, rebounding all the Blaster Beams that came in.

Then, under the Leadership of Rex, the Clone Troopers rushed up bravely.

However, the Opponent's Firepower was also unexpectedly violent and very precise! Almost as soon as the Clone Troopers of the Torrent Company rushed out, several Clones fell down.

Anakin kept rebounding the Opponent's Firepower, creating opportunities for his own Clone Troopers, but after a while, he finally realized something was wrong, and shouted, "Stop Advancing! The Opponent seems to be a Friendly Army!!"

Rex also noticed something was wrong, so he quickly stopped and hid behind the Bunker, took out his Binoculars to check carefully, and sure enough, through the Diffuse Blaster Smoke, he saw that the ones in the opponent's position were also Clone Troopers!

But so what? On the Battlefield where Explosions and Blasters are constantly ringing out, is it necessary to run out and say hello to the other side, telling the Captain not to shoot one of our own?

"General, what should we do? The other side seems to regard us as Enemies!" Rex said to Anakin.

"The situation is a bit weird. I remember we didn't send Clone Troopers to the Communication Tower, did we? Why are there Clones guarding here? And, since there are Guards, why has our Communication Network been interfered with?" Anakin wrinkled and frowned as he thought for a while, then said: "You let everyone cover here! I will rush over to find out myself!"

"This is too dangerous, General!" Rex hadn't finished speaking but saw Anakin Skywalker rushing forward.

...

"Sir, what's that? It seems to be a Lightsaber? Could it be a Jedi Knight?" In the Defensive Position on the side of the Communication Tower, a Clone pointed to the looming Lightsaber in front of him and asked.

Slick picked up the Binoculars and looked at it, suddenly panicked, "Bastard...it's Ulu Ulix! The Traitor of the Battle of Bespin!!"

"Ulu Ulix? The Jedi who betrayed the Republic?"

"It turned out to be him... I have also read the Battle Report of the Battle of Bespin, it is too despicable!"

"In short, we haven't received any effective Identification Codes so far. Our Mission is to Guard the Communication Tower and make sure there are no mistakes! I'm going upstairs now, and together with CI-1094 and the others, we will open up two Firepower Positions upstairs. You guys, be careful!" Slick said.

CI-1094 was one of the Clone Troopers killed by his Blaster in the Main Control Room just now.

"Yes! We will fight to the death!" The Clone Trooper replied firmly.

...

At this moment, the Communication Network of the Republic Army suddenly became noisy again, and this time, there were indeed various instructions coming from the Network!

"Battleship Bastion, please fire at the Commercial Center immediately!"

"L-7 Heavy Artillery Position, please pay attention, our Airborne Troops are approaching you, please Fire Flares as soon as possible to indicate the direction!"

"There are Renegade Jedi Knights outside the Communication Tower, please fire immediately!"

"Bravo Squadron, immediately withdraw from the Commercial Center Position, there are enemies approaching from the rear!"

"The Refuge in Crystal Street has been captured by the Living Dead, please fire the Incendiary Bombs to stop the spread of the Living Dead!"

Most of these Miscellaneous Instructions were ignored by the Vigilant Clone Commander, but some more confusing instructions were still executed.

Over the Civilian Refuge in Crystal Street, several Incendiary Bombs exploded suddenly, and a terrible rain of fire fell from the sky, completely turning this Refuge into a Sea of ​​Flames!

In the Shelter, the Civilians cried out one after another, and one by one the Ignited Christophsians rolled on the ground in despair, and then stopped moving. The stench of burning can be smelt even several blocks away.

Moreover, these Miscellaneous Instructions finally caused the Army of the Republic to fall into complete chaos and lose a Unified Dispatch Command. In addition, the Army of the Republic had already been dispersed because of the siege of the Biological Weapons, Yinchorri Avengers and the prevention of the Spread of Zombies. The loss of Communications now makes them all alone.

On the Frontal Battlefield, the Droid Army launched a General Offensive. General Whorm Loathsom, the Commander-In-Chief of the Army, put in his Final Reserve Team, and a Large Number of Retail Clan LR-57 Combat Droids were activated and then rushed to the Defense Line set up by the Republic in the Commercial Center.

Not only that, but the group of zombies induced by the Fourth Army from other directions also attacked the Republic Army's position from the rear. The remaining hundreds of Yinchorri Avengers were mixed among the Group of Zombies and launched an attack on the Defenders who fired wildly!

Starting from the rout of the Christophsian Local Troops defending the Electronic Business District, the Republic Troops in several surrounding positions have also fled. Most of them are Christophsian Locals. Their Equipment, Training and Morale are not high. In addition, The Communications were cut off, and it was only a matter of time before they were routed at a loss.

Although Whorm Loathsom did not perform well in this battle, he was by no means mediocre. He immediately seized the opportunity and personally led a Militia Onit organized by the Kerkoidens to insert into this gap and continue to expand, and with NR-N99 Persuader-class Droid Tanks as the forerunner, it made a Deep Assault on the Republic's Position.

The situation has become more and more deadly. The Clone Commander in the Command Center can no longer control the Deployment of the Army and the Enemy on the Frontline in real-time through the Information fed back from the Frontline. Two Acclamator-class Assault Ships were being attacked by a Large Number of Invisible Wraith Starfighters, struggling to support themselves let alone the Clone Commander.

What's more deadly is that the Command Center is simply unable to effectively Transmit Instructions to allow its own Army to retreat in an organized manner and organize new Defensive Positions. This has led to the fact that the Troops in front that have not yet fled and are retreating in an orderly manner do not know where they are. Several Clone Detachments chose to defend in the wrong place. They only realized when the Droids rushed over from all directions that the position they were in was a protrusion.

Whoosh! Whoosh!! The Blaster Energy Beams were fired like raindrops, countless B-1 Battle Droids advanced while shooting, and the scattered corpses on the ground were trampled under their feet.

A Blood-Stained Helmet of a Clone Trooper was kicked back and forth by the Droid, rolling continuously on the ground full of pools of blood, was finally trampled down, and the whole thing was crushed. The Broken Tactical Eyepiece reflected countless Droids.

...

"Don't shoot! It's me!" Anakin Skywalker finally got close to the position of the Communication Tower, he jumped in front of the Clone Troopers, raised his hand and said loudly.

"General Skywalker?! How is it you?!" A Clone Trooper was shocked.

"Why can't it be me?" Anakin asked back.

"Sir Slick says it's the Rogue Jedi Ulu Ulix!" another Clone Trooper replied.

"Where is Slick now?"

"He said he went upstairs to set up a Firepower Position." The Clone Trooper pointed to the interior of the Communication Tower.

However, when Anakin Skywalker came inside, he only saw the corpses of several Clone Troopers, but Slick had disappeared.

"Slick...Damn it! I see! He lied to us!!" The Clone Trooper immediately understood everything and cursed angrily.

At this time, a long-lost voice finally came from Anakin's Subspace Transceiver, "Anakin! Anakin! What happened to you?"

This is the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi!
