Chapter 549: The Bloody Battle of Bespin (Interlude: E-3 Squadron)

After the previous fierce strangulation, less than 400 of the 1,500 Vulture Droid Starfighters that took off in the first batch of Fourth Civilization were left, and 7 of the 100 Garda-class Flak Destroyers were destroyed.

However, more than 800 of the 2,000 V-19 Torrent Starfighters that took off from the Galactic Republic were destroyed, and the space was full of mutilated, frozen and stiff Pilot corpses.

Although due to the Development of Automation and Intelligent Technology in the Galaxy, the threshold for driving Starfighters and even Spaceships has been lowered a lot, every Pilot also needs to go through strict screening and at least 8 months to a year of training, and because the treatment of Pilots is not bad, many of them are able to get married and have children in peacetime.

But now, perhaps less than 5 minutes after takeoff, together with the Starfighters that had been with them for several months and worth tens of thousands of credits, they turned into dust in the cold space.

For those in power, launching a war may be just a game that can be played on the table, and every single digit in the long string of numbers may mean the rise and fall of several families.

But intelligent creatures still enjoy it.

From the time when a Primitive Society wielded a Stone Axe to strike on the heads of its compatriots because of the belonging of prey, to the Interstellar Era when pressing a button can launch a Destructive Weapon that slaughters a City or even a Planet...

War... War Never Changes...

Just like now, when the wreckage of the previous batch of Starfighters is still floating in the nearby space, the second batch of 2,000 Starfighters of the Galactic Republic has arrived, and the fierce battle is starting again...

New corpses were also started to be made again.

Matt Horner once again took off more than 1,000 Vulture Droid Starfighters, and these are the rest of the Vulture Droid Starfighters carried by the 10 Sova-class Carriers in his hands.

But it's not just the last power in his hands.

A Squadron of Z-95 Headhunter Starfighters passed by at high speed in space. The Squadron Leader looked at the dashboard in front of him to confirm his position.

"Squadron E-3, you are about to enter the key firing area of the opponent's No. 16 Battleship. The current distance is 174 kilometers. Their Weapons are aiming in your direction. Please avoid it." The message from Flight Control came through the communication.

The Squadron Leader looked out the window. Although the position of the No. 16 Battleship was still outside the visual range, under the reflection of the Gas Giant Bespin, some black spots could still be vaguely seen, and there were constantly Flashing Light Dots from time to time.

The alert started to sound in the cabin, which was an alarm that he was targeted by the enemy's Fire Control Radar. The Squadron Leader and other Starfighters immediately began to turn and perform irregular evasive actions.

Bright Laser Beams continued to shine, but they were all avoided by these Pilots in advance.

"Confirm the position of the opponent's No. 14 Battleship." The Squadron Leader said while adjusting the equipment in the cockpit.

"The Separatist Kol-class Battlecruiser, No. 14, was penetrated by our Venator-class Star Destroyer Revnant, 2 minutes ago. According to the optical scan, there are 5 fire points. They are accelerating at 80G, the current distance is 2103.3 kilometers from you." The Flight Control Center replied.

"Apply to change the target and attack the opponent's No. 14 Battleship." The Squadron Leader said.

"I-5 Squadron, I-7 Squadron and I-10 Squadron are carrying out the attack mission of No. 14 Battleship, and the application is rejected." The Flight Control Center paused for two seconds, and then added, "According to the latest scanning results, I-10 Squadron has been destroyed, and it has been detected that the Bow Cannon is charging, and they have not lost their combat effectiveness, attack application approved. The Separatist Battleship has Thick Armor, so be careful."

At the same time, the view of the No. 14 Kol-class Battlecruiser came from the flight eyepiece, and the location of the energy response of the central Hypermatter Railgun being charged was marked with light spots.

"E-3 received." After the Squadron Leader finished speaking, he pushed the joystick and flew directly towards the No. 14 Battleship, followed by other Starfighters in the E-3 Squadron.

The Anti-Aircraft Firepower from the front is getting denser with more Lasers and Shells, and the Electronic System keeps marking for them the positions of Turrets that charge and fire at them, but even so, they still can't avoid them all.

One of the Starfighters in the Squadron was hit by a Laser, the Deflector Shield was overloaded suddenly, and the Capacitor started to catch fire. "I was hit!" The Pilot exclaimed, and the Starfighter broke away from the formation.

The Droid on the Starfighter started repairing immediately, but it still couldn't stop the fire from spreading. At this moment, another Beam of Laser Light was irradiated on the Starfighter, and the entire Z-95 Headhunter Starfighter was turned into a ball of fire by the high temperature and explosively disintegrated.

"Oh My God, They Killed Kenny!" the other Pilot yelled.

"It's a Garda-class Flak Destroyer! The distance is 192 kilometers, and it is approaching us! At 7 o'clock!"

But he knew immediately what it meant!

In the empty space ahead, more than a dozen Missiles suddenly appeared out of thin air. Since these Missiles were launched at extremely close range, there was almost no possibility of evasion!

The three Starfighters in the Squadron were hit almost at the same time, and were instantly blown into countless pieces!

"It's a Stealth Starfighter! Be careful!!!" The Squadron Leader exclaimed, his flying skills were extremely skilled, he immediately rolled several times in the air and fired Electro-Proton Bombs at the same time, and finally escaped. A Weak Radar response finally appeared on the onboard Radar System.

A one-sided air battle immediately unfolded around the 1,100-meter-long Kol-class Battlecruiser.

There was almost no pause at all, and several bursts of Pulsar Lasers were fired. The Squadron Leader almost dodged the completely unpredictable fire, but the Starfighter was still approached by the Kol-class Battlecruiser in front of him. The Fire Protection was hit, the Deflector Shield Capacitor was overloaded and damaged, and then the Starfighter was hit by a Pulsar Laser from the Stealth Fighter, and the Navigation Droid was instantly destroyed. Thick smoke billowed in front of the Starfighter, even blocking his sight.

The remaining Starfighters of the Squadron also entered the fray, shooting indiscriminately at the invisible enemy before being destroyed one by one.

The Squadron Leader tore off the nameplate on his shoulder, on which his name and serial number were written - Galactic Republic, Grand Republic Army, 19th Legion, 1102nd Flying Group, E-3 Squadron, Captain, Max. Hometown: Planet Coruscant, 2144th floor, G-7 residential division, street...

Then he opened a small drawer in the cockpit. At the same time, the small holographic projector projected an image of a family reunion, a wife in her 20s, a 4-year-old little girl, and her 28-year-old husbandMax.

He put the nameplate into the small drawer, and looked up at the huge Kol-class Battlecruiser in front of him, his eyes almost burst into flames, "Come on!! You despicable Separatists!! For the Republic!!!"

The speed of the Z-95 Headhunter Starfighter was increased as much as possible, and all the Electro-Proton Bombs in the Starfighter were fired, and his target was the biggest damaged gap on this Battleship!

The Battleship immediately mobilized two Point Defense Lasers to attack him, and there were also a few invisible Wraith Fighters that followed and fired continuously, but Squadron Leader Max was like a god at this time, and unexpectedly avoided Most of the attacks!

He is obviously a weak Force Sensitive person!

At this moment, under the burning of his life and soul, he unexpectedly exploded with a strength close to that of a Jedi Padawan!

But the miracle would not last forever, and the Point Defense Lasers finally hit his Starfighter. At the moment before the Starfighter was hit, Max pressed the launch button as if he had a tacit understanding.

While the Starfighter was completely shredded by the Point Defense Lasers, two Proton Torpedoes were launched, and almost instantly tore into the biggest gap of this Kol-class Battlecruiser!

Immediately afterwards, there was a cloud of Light Blue Protons, followed by the Collapse and Expansion of Matter, and a huge Burst of Energy...

...

"The Kol-class Battlecruiser Horizon was hit by a suicide attack by Republic Starfighters and was severely damaged. Its energy supply dropped to 16%. Request to evacuate."

Matt Horner looked at the report in front of him and nodded expressionlessly.

At this moment, on the battlefield in Bespin's Outer Orbit, hundreds of Wraith Fighters suddenly appeared and entered Stealth Mode, and began to carry out an almost cruel and merciless massacre against the invading Galactic Republic Starfighter Group!

The Starfighters of the Republic have almost no possibility of finding the Stealthy Wraith Fighters at the ideal engagement distance, and the Flight Control Command Center of the Venator-class Star Destroyer behind them has already been busy, and it is impossible to effectively command such Starfighters.

Countless Starfighters were destroyed and countless Pilots were sacrificed...

The battle is still going on and getting crueler...

Like that war,

War... War Never Changes...
