The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1134. Star Wars on Umbara (Middle)

"As for this battle, it is very difficult..." Pang Krell said in a deep voice, "I have communicated with the navigator just now, and we cannot confirm the situation of the landing site, that is to say, our Cheerer-class The Assault Landing Ship can only land in total darkness."

"You don't even know the terrain and the distribution of enemy firepower?" Anakin asked.

"The basic terrain can still be scanned, but that's all. If I were the commander of the Umbara, then when our fleet appeared in outer orbit, we would have done every possible landing site. Get ready," Pon-Krell said.

Anakin-Skywalker frowned, "And our fighter jets are completely unqualified to fight on this planet. It is impossible for our commonly used LAAT transport boats to make surprise landings. We can only land the Cheerers directly on the planet. Ground. This is equivalent to reducing our mobility to the minimum."

"That's right! Sitting on the assault landing ship is the last maneuver of our troops." Pang Krell said, "The next step is to attack from the front."

"If this is the case, our only way is to land directly near Umbara's capital, but there will undoubtedly be very strong resistance, and I can't even guarantee the safe landing of the spacecraft." Anakin Skywalker said.

"Send, advance team. Forcibly land, and conduct fire reconnaissance." Pang Krell said bluntly.

"But this would cause very serious casualties, especially the advance team, I don't think any of them will survive." Anakin Skywalker said with a frown.

But Pang Krell shook his head and asked back, "Then let me ask you, young Skywalker. Is the purpose of our army coming to Umbara Planet to bury our army?"

"No! The recovery of Umbara is critical! General Grievous is very cunning. He sent troops to invade Kashyyyk the same day Umbara threw himself into separatism! The Wookiees can't resist Those vicious robots have taken too long, we must win Umbara and reinforce Kashyyyk!" Anakin Skywalker said firmly.

"So, we can't be afraid of sacrifice. You should know that the essence of clones is no different from these robots. The Republic uses clones for war, so that we can use them ruthlessly! It's impossible to look forward and backward at this time Those who won the war." Pang Krell said, "Remember! Only victory makes these clones that can be mass-produced at the press of a button valuable! Moreover, their time limit is about to expire..."

"Planet Kamino..." Anakin Skywalker's expression darkened.

"That's right, the separatists have obtained the genetic samples of these clones, and they will soon be able to develop corresponding genetic weapons. By then, these clone soldiers may not even be worth as much as a meat pig on the battlefield." Go. Use them well, now. Then... bring victory!" Pom-Krell patted Anakin on the shoulder again.

Anakin Skywalker bowed his head in silence.

"Okay, we will split into two groups for this battle. You will directly attack the capital of Umbara. I will lead this army including the 212th Attack Battalion to cut off the capital's supply line. You have been cooperating with your 501st Army for a long time. , The task of attacking the fortifications should be competent, but this is the first time for me to cooperate with this legion, and no one knows what they are like." Pang Krell said.

Anakin said seriously: "I have had some contact with Cody, the commander of the 212 Attack Battalion. He is a very good commander, and the 212 Attack Battalion is also an excellent team."

"Then I will very much hope that they can bring me a new victory. Well, I will return to my spaceship, and the landing operation will start in 1 hour. May the force be with you, young Skywalker." Pang Krell smiled disapprovingly, turned and left the bridge.

"May the Force be with you, Master Krell." Anakin Skywalker nodded and looked towards the dark porthole again with a solemn expression.

"I, don't like him very much." Ahsoka Tano said aside.

"Because of clones?" Anakin glanced at her.

"That's right. I think Captain Rex and the others are real people. Whether they can be produced at the push of a button or not, but... but you know, Rex, Echo, Five... They are all different, they all have their own thoughts and ideas! They are not tools!" Ahsoka Tano said seriously.

"We can't make everyone else think the same way as we do, little devil." Anakin Skywalker said seriously, "Master Pang Krell has won every battle since the war started, and he is our leader." The battle hero of the Jedi Order. Maybe he has a different view of clones than we do, but he also saved more people in his own way."

"Well, since you say that, you can't make me like him, can you?" Ahsoka Tano spread his hands and made a grimace, "Skywalker."

"Call me master!"

"Okay Skywalker."

...

An hour later, five Cheer-class assault landing ships began to lower their altitude, forcibly entering the atmosphere of the planet Umbara!

The huge spacecraft rubbed against the atmosphere, resulting in violent combustion. Five huge flames appeared in the dark sky on the planet Umbara, lighting up the night sky like five red suns!

In the next second, dense anti-aircraft fire was launched into the sky!

Missiles, lasers, blaster beams, and the most advanced plasma cannon of the Umbaras! Countless light beams fell on the spaceship, and the deflector shield flickered violently, spreading this powerful anti-aircraft firepower to the entire shield field to withstand, deflect and neutralize.

Dozens of fighter jets that looked like bow-knots appeared in the sky. They were Zenuas 33 Umbaran starfighters made by the Umbaras. The cockpit of this fighter is a fully enclosed spherical cabin, and the pilot inside controls it through a touch-type holographic interface. Basically, only Umbara people with very keen senses can control it, and the performance is very good.

And the Galactic Republic can't take off fighter jets to fight at all. In the darkness of the planet Umbara, even communication will be affected, and their fighter jets are completely useless!

boom! boom! boom! The Zenuas-33 starfighter continuously fires ion cannons, attacking the Cheerer-class assault landing ship from above. Compared with the thickly armored bottom, the top armor of the Cheerer-class is not so strong, and the operators have to move the armor The shield energy is concentrated on the top for defense, preventing the Umbara's fighter jets from destroying the battleship's superstructure and near-defense turrets.

boom! boom! boom! ! Several proton torpedoes hit the bottom armor of Anakin Skywalker's battleship, and the battleship shook violently.

"General Skywalker! My ship's shield is broken and needs to be recirculated! The bottom armor is under direct attack!" an officer came over and shouted.

Anakin-Skywalker gritted his teeth, and then finally made up his mind, and said loudly: "Send the advance team and land forcibly!!"
