1563. The Cage of the Trapped Beast (The End of the Second Galaxy Army-6)
This electromagnetic pulse covered thousands of kilometers. Even though the Republic fleet had begun to avoid it in advance, some warships were still affected. The Galactic Republic is researching ways to counter Conqueror-class battleships, and scientists from the Confederation of Independent Systems are naturally competing to further improve their weapons designs.
The improved version 2.0 directional high-energy electromagnetic pulse gun currently used on the USS Destruction battleship. The most important improvement is the range and diffusion speed of electromagnetic pulses (in the plot, Anakin Skywalker drives a spaceship to avoid electromagnetic pulses).
Including the CR-70 frigate, those small and medium-sized warships simply cannot withstand this wide range of electromagnetic pulses! All electronic systems of the battleships it passed were paralyzed, and their engines lost all power, floating in space.
However, the Jaeger-class battlecruiser was able to withstand the electromagnetic pulse of the Destruction this time. Although most of the electronic systems of the three Jaeger-class ships affected were still paralyzed, the most critical energy system was still preserved, allowing the battleship to Have the ability to withdraw from the battlefield as quickly as possible.
In addition to the key protection of the energy system, there is another system on the Jaeger-class battlecruiser that is protected by a complete set of electromagnetic pulse defense systems, and that is the communication system. This ensures that if the battleship is attacked by a Conqueror-class battleship, it will at least have the ability to send back the news of the attack. It will not be like the previous situation where the Venomous Fang was unable to send even a single word, and in the end almost had Master Plo-Kon on it. There.
This time, Severance Tann rushed in this direction immediately after launching the directional electromagnetic pulse. The Destruction battleship is all equipped with medium-sized turbolasers. Although there are as many as 500 twin turrets, it still suffers a big loss in terms of effective range. In order to maximize its firepower, it must be closer. .
"Hmph! Seeking death!" Mace Windu sneered when he saw that the Destruction was not retreating but advancing instead of retreating. He looked like he was in a desperate situation and said, "All battleships are firing on all cylinders! Completely destroy the Destruction!!"
Republic battleships and fighter jets immediately poured artillery fire on the Destruction.
But then they discovered that it was not easy! Although the 500 twin-mounted medium-sized turbolaser cannons installed on the Destruction do not perform well in attacking opponent's warships, as a multi-functional artillery, its performance against fighter jets is very good.
The 500-gun turret had almost no dead spots for firepower. Under the powerful and advanced fire control system, those V-19 Riptide light fighters of the Galactic Republic were shot down in large numbers, and it was difficult for the Y-wing bombers covered by them to get a bomb that could be dropped at close range. Chance.
In addition, the formation of the Republic fleet is very scattered, and the Destruction is constantly firing electromagnetic pulse cannons to interfere. This actually allows the formation of the Destruction to directly enter the Republic fleet, with the momentum of directly piercing it with a stick!
At this time, the other two fleets sent by Master Windu to intercept the Destruction also entered the Antwi system, and only then did they understand Severance Tann's intention to take the initiative!
The Destruction has rushed deep into the formation of Master Windu's fleet, but is getting further and further away from the other two squadrons. If the Destruction had continued to stay near the Antwi planet and resisted, there would no doubt have been surrounded by now!
But now, there are not only the directional electromagnetic pulses of the Destruction, but also the powerful Yamato cannons of the five Behemoth-class battlecruisers. This has resulted in the Republic's warships not daring to appear in front of the Destruction at all. They can only come from Rush in from the side and rear and shoot coldly.
So the battle situation became a situation where the Destruction and the small fleet continued to attack Mace Windu's fleet, while the other two fleets of the Republic could only chase behind.
In a short period of time, the numerical advantage of the Galactic Republic fleet could not be used.
And Severance Tann, what he wants is this "short time"!
The battleship Destruction has turned around and is flying towards the asteroid belt outside the planet Antwi. As mentioned before, as a young galaxy, the star-making movement of the Antwi galaxy has not yet ended. There is only one formed planet in the entire galaxy, the Antwi planet.
Beyond the orbit of the Antwi planet, there is an asteroid belt, and it is also filled with a large number of electromagnetic nebulae.
Perhaps in hundreds of millions or even billions of years, these asteroids and nebulae will gradually form two, three or more planets, and then in the collision with each other, more matter will be ejected to other orbits, forming a new planet. Another new planet makes this galaxy lively.
But now, these early planetary materials will become the best hiding place for Doom!
Seeing the movements of the Destruction, Mace Windu clenched his teeth, and the expression on his face became increasingly ferocious, "What? You still want to run? Chase after me! We can't let the Destruction run away! Blood debt must be paid with blood!!"
He looked at the holographic star map again and snorted coldly, "Prepare my fighter jets! Arrange another formation of Y-wing bombers, and I will personally lead the team out!"
"Yes!" The fleet commander quickly made arrangements, and at the end he said carefully: "General Windu, the information we just received from local communications confirmed that the commander of the other party is Severance Tann..."
"So what?" Mace Windu gave him a cold look.
"This... Severance Tann is a famous general on the Separatist side, and has never been defeated on the battlefield..." the fleet commander whispered.
"No defeat? Huh! I remember that she was chased like a lost dog by Shen Qiaoen, my former disciple!" Mace Windu said.
"But...General Windu, Severance Tann..."
Mace Windu waved his hand, "I know that she is very good at commanding the fleet, and no one can beat her in the military formation. But now, she only has so many troops in her hands! If we don't seize the opportunity to kill her now, Do we have to wait until she comes with her army to eliminate her? Can you be sure to defeat her by then?"
"this……"
"Attack!!" Mace Windu ignored the submissive admiral, turned around and walked out.
"..." The fleet commander hesitated to speak, but Windu ignored him at all. He walked out of the bridge and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"General Sopnos...do you think there might be a problem this time?" The staff officer next to him came over and asked.
"If it's my military common sense, I don't know how much room the Destruction will have to struggle this time. Their retreat has been cut off, and the Separatists have no direction to send reinforcements. This is an absolute advantage. A strangulation battle." General Sopnos sighed, "But the opponent is Severance Tann!"
