1303. Lundili’s Ending (Part 2)
At this point in the battle, the technical data of the Conqueror-class battleship is actually very clear to the Galactic Republic. Including data such as the number of main guns, main gun power, and shield capacity, relatively accurate data can be obtained quickly after repeated scanning on the battlefield.
The data of the high-energy directional ion pulse cannon, the most important technical parameter of the Conqueror-class battleship, was also recorded in Eucalyptus.
After all, the two super battleships, the Fang and the Plague, cast a huge shadow on the Galactic Republic. Therefore, in order to speed up the construction of the second Conqueror-class ship Destruction without much modification in all aspects, many data are also very clear to the Republican Party.
Especially the range, rate of fire and pulse wave diffusion speed and range of the ion pulse cannon. These key data have been mastered by the Republic of Korea through many studies and scans.
It should be noted that the high-energy directional ion pulse cannon used by the Conqueror-class battleship is not actually a light-speed weapon. The name of this weapon is preceded by 'directional', which is actually a definition of the weapon's attributes. The electromagnetic pulse itself is diffusive, but if you want to make it directional, you need magnetic field confinement.
So in fact, the flight speed of the pulse emitted by the directional ion pulse cannon is equal to the moving speed of the electromagnetic field, which is actually not fast. At least in the hands of a top Jedi like Anakin Skywalker, he could still escape by driving the spacecraft to maximum acceleration.
Therefore, in the battles near the planet Rendili in the past few days, Lieutenant General Trinald Skarrid calculated the range of the opponent's Destruction battleship's directional ion pulse cannon to carry out operations, and it worked repeatedly. As soon as the Destruction fired, he outflanked it, forcing the opponent's warships to retreat to cover the Destruction.
After all, the biggest weakness of the Conqueror-class is that it has a large number of main guns but insufficient power. At the same time, the number of carrier-based aircraft is small, making it difficult to cope with the bombing of a large-scale fighter group.
For a time, even if he was facing Severance Tann, a famous general who made the Galactic Republic feel jealous, Scared felt confident. He began to think that it wasn't Tann who was too strong. It's just because the genius himself hasn't had a fair chance to compete with Tann on the same stage.
Now the opportunity has come, and under direct confrontation, it seems that Tann is no more than that.
Therefore, Lieutenant General Skared was quite confident about the sudden change in Rendili's defense fleet this time. He did have the strength to match his confidence, and he immediately judged that the opponent's change of formation should be to focus their firepower on both sides of the formation. It seemed that he wanted to deal with his own side when the Destruction's ion pulse cannon opened fire. Tactical maneuver.
"All battleships, keep their distance and move to the right wing! They want to divide their forces into two wings, so I will focus on attacking one side!" Vice Admiral Skared said sternly, "Crosso! Your position cannot be avoided! Stop advancing immediately , all energy is supplied to the deflector shield and anti-pulse device, prepare to resist the impact!"
"yes!"
However, just when he gave the order and the Republic Task Force under his command started to maneuver tactically, a sudden change occurred! ….
Suddenly an extremely bright flash came on!
"General! The enemy ship Destruction's ion pulse cannon has been detected and fired!!" A soldier in the sensor department screamed.
[Currently used, this is the most comprehensive and best-used book-listening sound system. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines with over 100 kinds of sounds, and also supports offline reading.
However, an extremely dazzling light came from all the portholes of the battleship! Immediately afterwards, all the electronic systems in the Knight-class Star Destroyer he was on began to flash violently!
"Asshole! The Destruction is coming in my direction! Increase the energy supply of the counterpulse system immediately!" Lieutenant General Scared said loudly.
Before he finished speaking, he saw the adjutant pointing at the holographic combat star map and saying, "General! Something is wrong! The opponent's fleet formation has changed!"
Vice Admiral Scared suddenly turned around and saw that on the holographic combat star map, the situation of both fleets had completely changed!
According to the previous changes in the formations of the fleets of both sides, the Rendili defense fleet is unfolding the battleships into a four-claw shape with the Destruction as the core, while the Republic fleet is continuously spreading out the battleships and letting all the battleships maneuver to one side.
If this trend develops, then it is likely that one wing of Rendili's defense fleet suffered a concentrated attack from the Republic fleet and had to call back warships from several other directions to assist. As a result, the formation was once again disrupted, and they relied on destruction The powerful directional ion pulse cannon's plan to attack the Republic fleet will once again fail.
But now, the Destruction opened fire earlier than expected! At this time, the Destruction's turn was not completed. It was actually leaning to the other side of the Republic fleet formation. At the same time, the Rendili Defense Fleet battleship, which had seemed a bit messy in organizing the attack, at this moment But they have all unknowingly entered a completely different attack position!
And while the Destruction was firing, the Rendili defense fleet assembled the five most powerful warships-four Victory I-class Star Destroyers and a Knight-class Star Destroyer that had been captured by Darth Malsayir. The ship directly launched a surprise attack on the Republic fleet! And the route they took to launch the raid was the attack range of the ion pulse cannon that Skarrid and the others initially expected!
Now, as the ion pulse cannon fires before it is fully charged, the attack range is also reduced, which is equivalent to the direction in which these five Star Destroyers began to attack, which is exactly the direction that the Republic warships had avoided before!
They pierced directly into the formation of the Republic's special service fleet like a sharp sword, and restricted the movement of the Republic's flagship with ion pulse cannons. ….
The formation of the Republic fleet was divided into two. About one-third of the warships were blocked by the Rendili defense fleet, while the remaining two-thirds of the warships were still maneuvering in one direction as planned, far away from the battlefield. further and further! If they want to support them, they must first complete the U-turn, and the other warships of Rendili Defense Fleet obviously cannot let them leave so easily!
Destruction is on fire! 500 medium-sized turbolaser cannons poured out firepower crazily at the two Knight-class Star Destroyers on the Republic fleet! The four Victory I-class ships and one captured Knight-class ship aimed at the six lone Chasseur-class battlecruisers and opened fire fiercely!
In the direction of the main gun position above the Knight-class Star Destroyer, the 20 heavy turbolaser cannon turrets on the starboard side began to turn, aiming at one of the Jaeger-class ships! As for the Chasseur-class, which is facing the enemy, only 4 turrets in this direction can fight back!
Following the captain's order, the 20 odd-numbered heavy guns on the starboard side of the Knight-class turret opened fire! 5 seconds later, the even-numbered turret fired another salvo!
Two main gun volleys were fired, and the powerful power instantly shattered the Jaeger-level deflector shield!
At the same time, the Destruction battleship also deployed 180 turrets to aim in this direction. Although the densely packed medium-sized turbolaser cannons can only do limited damage to the deflector shield, they can be used against the single-layer armor of the Jaeger-class battlecruiser. Play a very significant effect!
Under the continuous bombardment, countless balls of fire exploded from the top of the Jaeger-class ship. The port main gun position was destroyed, and a large hole was blown out of the hangar platform. Thick smoke billowed out. The warship began to try to turn and escape. But in the chaos, it crashed into another Jaeger-class ship! .
