662. Battle of Christophsis (18)
"Attack! The communication tower must be captured as soon as possible!" Anakin-Skywalker rushed forward, waving his lightsaber, and bounced back all the incoming blaster beams.
Then, led by Rex, the clone warriors bravely rushed forward.
However, the opponent's firepower was also unexpectedly fierce and very precise. Several soldiers from the Riptide Company fell down almost as soon as they rushed out.
Anakin kept rebounding the opponent's firepower, creating opportunities for his own soldiers. However, after a while, he finally realized something was wrong and shouted, "Stop advancing! The opponent seems to be a friendly force!!"
Rex also realized something was wrong. He quickly stopped and hid behind the bunker, took out his binoculars and took a closer look. Sure enough, through the smoke, he saw that those in the opponent's position were also clone soldiers!
But so what? On a battlefield where explosions and gunshots are constantly heard, do you still have to run out and say hello to the other side and tell the captain not to shoot, you are one of your own?
"General, what should we do? The other side seems to regard us as enemies!" Rex said to Anakin.
"The situation is a little weird. I remember that we didn't send clone soldiers to the communication tower, right? Why are there clones guarding here? And, since there are people guarding it, why are our communications interfered with?" Anakin frowned. He frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let everyone here provide fire cover! I'll rush over to find out what's going on!"
"This is too dangerous, General!" Before Rex could finish his words, he saw Anakin Skywalker rushing forward.
…
"Sir, what is that? It seems to be a lightsaber? Is it a Jedi Knight?" In the defensive position on the communication tower, a soldier asked, pointing to the lightsaber looming in the smoke ahead.
Hua Tou picked up the telescope and looked at it, and suddenly panicked, "Asshole...it's Uru-Ulix! The traitor in the Battle of Bespin!!"
"Uru-Ulix? The Jedi who betrayed the Republic?"
"It turns out it's him... I've also seen the battle report of the Battle of Bespin. It's so despicable!"
"In short, we have not received any valid friend-or-foe identification codes so far. Our task is to guard the communication tower without any mistakes! I will go upstairs now and open two fire points upstairs with CI-1094 and the others. You guys Be careful!" Hua Tou said.
CI-1094 was one of the clone troopers who had just been killed by his gun in the control room.
"Yes! We will fight to the death and never retreat!" the clone trooper replied firmly.
…
At this moment, the communication channel of the Republic Army suddenly became noisy again, and this time, there were indeed various instructions coming from the channel!
"Battleship Qingfeng, please bomb the commercial center immediately!"
"L-7 artillery position, please pay attention. Our airborne troops are approaching you. Please launch flares as soon as possible to indicate the direction!"
"There are rebel Jedi outside the communication tower, please provide fire coverage immediately!"
"Shanshi Company, withdraw from the commercial center position immediately, there are enemies approaching the rear!"
"The shelter in White Light Block has been captured by the living dead. Please fire incendiary bombs to stop the spread of the living dead!"
Most of these miscellaneous instructions were ignored by the vigilant commanders, but some more confusing instructions were still implemented.
Several incendiary bombs suddenly exploded over the civilian shelter in the Baiguang District, and a terrible rain of fire fell from the sky, completely turning the shelter into a sea of fire!
In the shelter, civilians wailed one after another, and the ignited firemen rolled in despair on the ground, and then stopped. The scorching smell could be smelled even blocks away.
Moreover, these miscellaneous instructions finally caused the Republic's army to fall into chaos and lose unified dispatch and command. In addition, due to the previous encirclement and suppression of biological and chemical weapons Inchori Avengers and the spread of the zombie wave, the Republic's army was already dispersed. Go out, and now that they have lost communication, they are all alone.
On the frontal battlefield, the robot army launched a general attack. The commander-in-chief of the army, General Worm-Lotham, put in his last reserve force. Large numbers of retail joint LR-57 combat robots were activated, and then rushed towards the defense line set up by the Republic in the commercial center.
Not only that, the zombie groups induced by the Fourth Army from other directions also attacked the Republic Army's positions from the side and rear. The remaining hundreds of Incholi Avengers were mixed among the zombie groups, launching attacks on the defenders who were firing wildly. Raid!
Starting from the rout of the local Christopher Sith troops defending the electronic business district, the Republic troops in several surrounding positions also fled. They were mainly local Christopher Sith troops. Their equipment, training and morale were not high. In addition, Communication was cut off, and it was only a matter of time before they collapsed.
Although Worm-Lotham performed poorly in this battle, he was by no means mediocre after all. He immediately seized the opportunity and personally led a militia force organized by the Croydon people to insert into this gap and continue to expand it. , and used an NR-N99 Persuader tank robot as the leader to launch a deep assault on the Republic's positions.
The situation has become more and more deadly. The clone commander in the command center can no longer control the deployment of the enemy and ourselves on the front line in real time through the intelligence fed back from the front line. He can only share the data link between the two Cheer-class assault landing ships in the sky. To control the situation of the battle, however, the two battleships were being attacked by a large number of invisible ghost fighters, struggling to support themselves and unable to take care of themselves.
What's even more fatal is that the command center cannot effectively deliver instructions to allow its troops to retreat in an organized manner and organize new defensive positions. This resulted in the situation where the troops in front who had not yet fled and were retreating in an orderly manner did not know where they were. Several clone squadrons chose to defend in the wrong places. They only understood when robots rushed over from all directions. The position I was in before was a protrusion.
Whoosh! Whoosh! ! Explosive beams were fired like raindrops, and countless B-1 combat robots advanced while firing. The scattered corpses on the ground were trampled under their feet by their iron hooves.
A blood-stained clone trooper helmet was kicked around by the robot and kept rolling on the blood-covered ground. Finally, it was stepped on and the whole thing was crushed. On the broken tactical eyepiece, this was reflected. There are countless robots.
…
"Don't shoot! It's me!" Anakin Skywalker finally approached the communication tower position. He jumped in front of the clone soldiers, raised his hands and shouted loudly.
"General Skywalker?! Why you?!" A clone trooper was shocked.
"Why can't it be me?" Anakin asked.
"Sir Slippery said that the one who came was the renegade Jedi Knight Uru-Ulix!" Another clone trooper replied.
"Where is Slippery now?"
"He said he went upstairs to set up a firepower point." The clone trooper pointed to the inside of the communications tower.
However, when Anakin Skywalker came inside, he only saw the corpses of several clone soldiers, but Slippery was nowhere to be found.
"Slip...damn it! I understand! He lied to us!!" The clone soldier immediately understood everything and cursed angrily.
At this time, a long-lost voice finally came from Anakin's communication, "Anakin! Anakin! What happened to you over there?"
This is Obi-Wan Kenobi's voice!
