The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars - Chapter 2448
2425, Thrawn’s Clamp (Part 2)
This is not a battlefield, this is hell!
The First Fleet that Severance Tann had sent out before did achieve its goal. They did encounter the Northern Main Fleet of the Galactic Empire led by Thrawn and had a fierce battle.
But judging from the current battlefield situation, they were completely defenseless and fell into Thrawn’s carefully laid trap!
The Northern Main Fleet of the Galactic Empire is all here, with 300 battleships and more than 2,000 small and medium-sized warships. This fleet is not very powerful in the current galactic battlefield with thousands of battleships, but it is still a very considerable force in the Northern battlefield where both sides have suffered losses.
And in the midst of the heavy siege, it is the First Fleet, which has only one-sixth of the Imperial Fleet!
They only have 50 battleships and 200 light cruisers. In this state of being surrounded, they fought for a full four hours! If there were not five more Divine Manifestation-class battleships in the organization, I’m afraid that when the Titan battleship Divine Envoy came over, all they could see was debris everywhere.
However, even so, the First Fleet suffered heavy losses and was almost eliminated!
The five Divine Manifestation-class battleships were attacked by Thrawn’s Executor-class Super Star Destroyers. When the Divine Manifestation-class battleships faced the main force of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, they had an almost overwhelming advantage. An Imperial-class Star Destroyer could not hold out for long in front of the Divine Manifestation-class, and the turbolaser cannons of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer were helpless against the voltage-type armor cladding of the Divine Manifestation-class battleships.
However, when the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer appeared in front of the Divine Manifestation-class battleships, the situation was completely different.
19,000 meters in length, 5,000 heavy turbolaser cannons, even if any of them hit the God-Revelation class without any pain, but 5,000 twin-mounted turrets, 10,000 rounds of firepower at a time, still gave the God-Revelation class battleships a fatal blow.
The five God-Revelation class battleships blocked the attack of the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer with great difficulty, so that the remaining warships could have more maneuvering space.
And the force deployment arrangement made by Severance-Tan before finally worked. Among the 50 main battleships, there are 32 Hell Angel-class battlecruisers and 18 Behemoth-class battlecruisers, all of which are all-round warships that can fight and run. Moreover, the Hell Angel-class has thick skin and flesh, and the Behemoth-class Yamato cannon can also provide good long-range firepower support. They have their own characteristics and complement each other.
The 200 small and medium-sized warships are mostly Promotion-class heavy destroyers and Pioneer-class light cruisers, and there are a small number of Steadfast-class cruisers. These are all the most advanced warships of the Kingdom of Dawn at present. They are basically what Severance Tann took over from the Northern Commercial Alliance after coming to the North.
Because of this, with the same number, the First Fleet can have an absolute advantage over the Imperial Fleet. But the problem is that the number of the Imperial Fleet is more than six times theirs! And they have been surrounded by Imperial warships since the beginning of the war, and there is not much room for maneuver!
The battlefield is already full of wreckage and debris of warships. Three of the five Divine Revelation-class battleships were destroyed by the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer after fighting bravely, and the remaining two are just struggling to support. Only 14 of the 50 capital ships are left, and only more than 30 of the 200 small and medium-sized warships are left!
It can be said that if half an hour later, the First Fleet will be completely destroyed!
Having said that, the navy officers and soldiers of the Kingdom of Dawn did not retreat. They persisted in resistance even in such a desperate situation. Among the wreckage and debris floating on the battlefield, there are many battleships belonging to the Galactic Empire!
And now, the bloody battle of the First Fleet has finally received a response!
The strong white flash heralded the arrival of reinforcements, and then the huge and majestic figure of the Titan battleship of the Envoy of God appeared here!
The communication that was completely cut off by the powerful electronic interference of the Executor-class finally got a response. When the clear and loud voice of Severance Tann came from the communication channel that was originally only noisy with electric current, at this moment, many soldiers of the First Fleet who were still roaring and fighting to death a second ago even cried out!
Although the appearance of the Titan battleship of the Envoy of God was only a lonely one, it showed that the Kingdom of Dawn did not give up on them! It also showed that the counterattack was about to begin! !
[General Tann! It is General Tann’s flagship! ! ]
[When will we counterattack? General Tann, we are ready! ]
[Now is a good opportunity! Lead us to kill these imperial dogs! General Tann! ! 】
That’s right, these naval soldiers who had fought for more than 4 hours and were on the verge of destruction, when the reinforcements arrived, they didn’t think that they could finally survive. They thought about counterattacking immediately!
To be honest, Severance-Tan is not a person who knows how to sympathize with her subordinates, but what makes those soldiers shout her name so sincerely and excitedly is her invincible myth!
Severance-Tan, standing in the command center of the bridge of the Messenger of God, didn’t know when a line of tears appeared on her cheeks.
Only she knew that she was unworthy of the expectations of these warriors. Because it was her own error in judgment that sent them into this desperate trap.
The heroic words before departure turned into a complete joke at this moment.
“Tsk tsk tsk tsk… The First Squadron has not yet collapsed. The empire’s fleet has consumed a lot of money. tsk tsk tsk tsk…” Admiral Trench licked his chelicerae at the corner of his mouth and said, “Indeed, it can, for the Executor class , launch a beheading…combat. Tsk tsk tsk tsk…”
Bang! Severance Tann slapped her hands on the hollow plastic plate of the console again, although her eyes were still bloodshot, although her breathing was extremely heavy and her chest was heaving violently, like an angry lioness. But after being silent for just a few seconds, she said word by word: “Telegraph all the battleships of the First Squadron. From now on, all actions will be subject to the command of the flagship.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
She gritted her teeth, and every word seemed to come out with all her strength, “Now is not the time to counterattack! Follow my command, and form a defensive formation with the Angel as the core! Cover the Angel to deploy hyperspace interference. weapon, and deploy the fleet beacon!”
Under her command, the warships of the First Squadron, which were still fighting on their own, began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Severance Tann slammed her fists on the console again and said: “This belated decisive battle, let us… start again!”
