1442. Escape from death
At this moment, outside the planet Dorin, the situation of the Galactic Republic fleet is already in danger. This fleet, composed of 20 Jaeger-class battlecruisers and 33 Aquitens-class light cruisers, has been completely passive.
This fleet is the Second Squadron of the Seventh Army of the Galactic Republic. Ever since the planet Ode-Mantel, the capital of the Eighth Army of the Republic, was captured and Governor Fan Ke fled, the Eighth Army of the Republic was declared destroyed.
But the Eighth Army actually only lost a few core planets, including the planet Ord-Mantel. Within the vast jurisdiction of the Eighth Army, there are still a large number of areas that still fall under the jurisdiction of the Galactic Republic.
Therefore, the Supreme Strategic Command of the Galactic Republic later adjusted the Eighth Army and assigned all remaining jurisdictions of the Eighth Army to the Seventh Army. At the same time, the Seventh Army was asked to adjust its defense areas as soon as possible to deal with the geth invasion.
The Second Squadron of the Seventh Army was actually transferred from the remaining forces of the Eighth Army and reorganized. The fleet commander was still Admiral Eureka, and Gilad Pellaeon was naturally among them.
The Second Squadron was originally ordered to reinforce the planet Dorin that was attacked by the geth. They transported more than 40,000 clone soldiers to reinforce and intercept the geth fleet outside the planet.
Those clone troopers were all Kamino version clone troopers. Although in other theaters of the Galactic Republic, the Kamino version clone troopers had withdrawn from active service, several legions in the northern reaches of the galaxy where the geth were raging had come to The Republic requested to retain clone troopers to fight against the fearsome geth army. Bay
The Supreme Strategic Command of the Republic agreed.
Therefore, a clone army of up to 40,000 people was deployed on the battlefield of Dolin Planet. If it were in the past, this behavior would be called a luxury!
However, after the Second Squadron of the Seventh Army arrived at the planet Dolin, they discovered that the enemy they faced was not simple!
The geth fleets outnumber them, but are generally extremely small. Among them, there are 18 300-meter-class Geth cruisers, about 70 other 150-meter-class Geth destroyers, and more than 50 80-meter-class Geth frigates.
If under normal circumstances, a fleet composed of small and medium-sized warships wanted to challenge a fleet with 20 kilometer-class battleships guaranteed, it would be a complete disaster.
But among the Geth fleet, the size of the battleship has a completely different meaning.
There is no need for any living facilities or life support equipment, nor does it need a built-in artificial gravity generator. The entire Geth warship is a single Geth individual! It's just that this collection of geth individuals is extremely large, consisting of tens of thousands of geth units, so that it can achieve enough computing power to control its battleship-sized body. Bay
So in this case, the geth warship almost only has four things from beginning to end-armor, energy, weapons, engines, and no other superfluous things. This also makes the ion cannon fired by the Geth warship very powerful. The gunfire of a 300-meter-class warship is completely comparable to that of the Jaeger-class!
At the same time, the control performance of these geth warships, including acceleration, deceleration, steering, etc., are far superior to ordinary warships, which gives them extremely terrifying maneuverability.
So on the battlefield, the geth fleet used its mobility and flexibility to adopt a strategy of dividing, surrounding and defeating the Republic fleet. They formed a numerical advantage in every part of the battlefield, biting like locusts at the lone Republic warship.
The reason why the second squadron's flagship, the Chasseur-class battlecruiser Mingxing, was besieged by geth battleships and almost destroyed was because of this battle situation.
Now, the temporary acting commander of the Second Squadron, Gilad Perrine, was standing in front of the communicator and said seriously: "If you still want to survive, immediately abandon all enemy targets in front of you and come to me. Ships move closer! We must form a close formation with a distance of no more than 200 meters!"
"The distance should not exceed 200 meters? Do you, a boy with no hair even, know what you are talking about? According to the combat rules, every person in combat status must
The safe distance between warships should be maintained at more than 10 kilometers! "Someone questioned in the communication.
"This is our last chance! I have no time to explain to you! As the acting commander, I order you to execute the order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be arrested on the spot, and the deputy captain will take over the command!" Gilad Pei Ren snapped. Bay
It has been more than two years since the war broke out, and the Galactic Republic's army has continued to grow. The current Republican Army has a very strict hierarchy, and any behavior that disobeys military orders is strictly prohibited.
Therefore, despite a lot of reluctance, the battleships of the Second Squadron still did as they were told. One by one, the warships turned against the gunfire of the Geth warships and flew towards the flagship Mingxing.
"Every ship listens to my instructions! Get into position according to the coordinates I gave! There must be no mistakes!" Gilad Pellaeon has entered the state. He is now standing in front of the holographic combat star map, and the staff team next to him is speeding up. A quantum computer is used to calculate the position of each battleship according to Pellaeon's requirements.
Just when we were communicating just now, the bridge of the battleship Mingxing had resumed operation. With the cooperation of the efficient damage control department and the medical department, the injured personnel were treated, the bodies and wreckage were cleaned, and more importantly, Substitutes are in place.
The addition of substitutes allowed all departments of the warship to operate again, which was also an important guarantee for Gilad Perrine to be able to carry out his own combat command.
Under his command, the remaining warships of the Second Squadron began to gather closer and closer, and then formed a very dense spherical formation with the Mingxing as the core.
Not only that, the artillery fire of each warship in the formation only needs to be responsible for a very narrow area, ensuring that the artillery fire is extremely concentrated and can cover every corner. Bay
And the remaining fighter formations also surrounded the fleet, completely turning the entire fleet into a hedgehog!
This formation also offsets the powerful maneuverability of the Geth warships to the greatest extent, and can maximize the firepower advantage of its own warships.
But the shortcomings are also obvious-not to mention that the dense formation is prone to collision. In such a formation, the Republic battleship almost completely gives up its mobility. Therefore, the geth warships do not need to aim, they only need to fire all their firepower in this direction.
Then, Gilad Pellaeon issued a second order, "All battleship personnel, prepare for zero gravity! After 10 minutes, turn off the artificial gravity system! Then proceed to the coordinates I gave you!"
After someone saw the coordinates, they immediately roared in the communication, "Are you crazy? That place is a black hole!!"
