The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars - Vol 2 Chapter 1137
1137. The Betrayal of Pang-Krel (Part 1)
“Underground?!” Hearing the soldier’s report, Cody’s face changed greatly, and he said loudly: “Notify the headquarters immediately! We have detected an unknown unit advancing from the ground!”
His voice just fell, boom! A violent explosion was set off next to him, and Cody subconsciously shrank behind the bunker, but was still thrown several meters away by the powerful explosion and fell heavily to the ground.
“It’s an Umbara tank!” shouted one of the clone troopers.
boom! boom!
After the violent explosion, three Umbara ghost tanks appeared in front, and these three ghost tanks launched a violent artillery attack on the positions of the 212th Attack Battalion!
The clone troopers didn’t have any more heavy equipment, so they had to fire rockets to fight back, but with little success, the individual rockets couldn’t break through the armor of the Ghost Tank.
Cody ordered the few remaining AT-RTs to use their powerful robotic feet to jump on the giant tentacle-like vines around them and flank the Umbara tanks.
However, after the 212th attack battalion experienced the deadly battle during the landing, the number of remaining AT-RTs was very small, and they could not even launch an attack. They could only provide a certain amount of fire support, so that the Umbara tanks could not concentrate their firepower on their positions. the front.
This is also the only thing the 212th Attack Battalion can do now, facing the superior strength of the Umbaras and they have to fight and retreat.
Cody took advantage of the interval between the Umbara attacks to discuss with several company commanders, and he unfolded the holographic topographic map and said: “On our way, there is a forest, the terrain is complex and the area is very large, our only chance. It is in this forest that guerrilla warfare can delay the reinforcements of the Umbarians.”
One of the company commanders shook his head, “But it will mean that we will continue to retreat, and after passing through this forest, we are less than 10 kilometers away from our command. And, just from the observations of the past few days , General Poon-Crell would not allow such a situation.”
“But this is also our last chance, our people need rest, and they need ammunition, more supplies and medical care, and we can’t continue like this,” said another commander.
Cody nodded, drew a circle on the map, and said, “This is the final decision, we retreat to the forest to start a guerrilla war, and I will bear all the consequences!”
…
At the same time, a clone troop artillery position was in the rear.
The three AV-7 self-propelled artillery are constantly firing, and several blaster cannons and individual anti-aircraft missile positions are also set up around them to guard against the air strikes of the Umbara fighters.
Fighting without air supremacy like this is also a unique experience for the clone troopers of the Galactic Republic.
After all, it has always been their own fighter jets who bombarded the enemy indiscriminately before.
The AV-7 self-propelled artillery is flexible in deployment and powerful in firepower, and can fire a variety of different ammunition according to the situation, and can even be loaded with turbo laser shells and then attack air targets. In addition, this self-propelled artillery is very cheap, so it is widely used in the Republic Army.
These artillery positions are bombing the defense line of the Umbara people in the direction of the airport. Although in the darkness, coupled with strong interference, the bombing effect is not very good, but it is better than nothing, at least it can let the Umbara people hide Don’t dare to come out casually behind the bunker.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
There was a sudden roar from the ground, and then the ground in the middle of several self-propelled artillery suddenly sunk!
In the next second, a behemoth suddenly emerged from the ground and hit an AV-7 self-propelled artillery with lightning speed!
With a bang, the self-propelled artillery was instantly overturned, and then a dense burst of explosive energy beams were launched from this behemoth!
boom! boom! boom! A series of explosions exploded on this artillery position. In less than two minutes, the entire position was plowed to the ground. Except for the wreckage of the burning self-propelled artillery and the corpses on the ground, nothing was left!
This behemoth quickly drilled back from the hole it came out of, and the roar from the ground got farther and farther until it disappeared.
Several locations behind the clone troop positions were attacked at the same time!
Pang-Krel led the main force of the army and was preparing for the next wave of attack, and a signal trooper was reporting the news from the 212th attack battalion just now, “General Krel, the 212th attack battalion on the southern front reported that something was coming from the ground. ”
“Underground?” Pang-Krel was shocked, and immediately said loudly: “Prepare to fight! The threat has come! Underground!”
All the clone troopers immediately stood by, only to hear a faint roar coming from the ground, and the soldiers were on alert, their guns pointed to the ground.
“This way!” Pang-Krel roared, picked up the lightsaber and jumped up, the double-headed lightsaber stabbed straight towards the ground!
Boom! ! In the next second, a behemoth rushed out of the ground and knocked Master Pang-Krel directly out! Pang-Krel reacted like lightning, grabbed this thing, was carried by it and flew into the air, and then landed heavily!
It was only now that everyone could see clearly that this was a terrifying combat machine like a centipede! The length is more than 50 meters, and the explosive cannons are densely installed on the body!
After this terrifying combat machine landed, it twisted and crawled quickly, and at the same time, more than a dozen explosive cannons on its body shot frantically in different directions at the same time!
This is impressively the most advanced combat machinery of the Umbarians – the Impeding Assault Tank (IAT for short)!
A behemoth with a total length of 54.78 meters, a height of 5.8 meters and a width of 7.76 meters! It is equivalent to the size of 3 AT-TEs lined up, and you can move freely in the underground!
The dozens of sharp chelicerae can quickly dig through the soil, and there are four cracking beam cannons on the head, which can reach a speed of 40-50 kilometers per hour even in the ground!
And it’s not over yet!
Boom~~~! Boom~~~! Two more Interceptor assault tanks emerged from the ground!
The powerful firepower of the three Interceptors caused heavy losses to the clone troopers, and most of their firepower fell on this tank.
The Interceptors attacked the tank too fast, and twisted and twisted on the ground, they could not effectively seize the weak point and attack, and most of the firepower fell on the heavy back armor of the tank.
An Interceptor swam quickly towards the Republic Army’s AT-TE walker, and the two small howitzers at the rear continued to fire high-explosive grenades, causing damage to the surrounding clone soldiers. Shooting like crazy with AT-TE.
In an instant, dozens of explosive energy beams fell on the AT-TE, but the power of these explosive energy beams was ok against infantry, but it was a little weak against heavy armored units.
But this is just the beginning!
The interceptor suddenly raised its head, and around the spherical cockpit, four splitting beam cannons were fired instantly!
The cockpit of the AT-TE was immediately penetrated by the split beam, and after a violent explosion, the walker was completely paralyzed!
On the other side, Pang-Kreel firmly grabbed an Interceptor tank, and his lightsaber swept across the board, directly destroying several nearby blaster cannons, and then pretended to be powerless and did not continue to attack, so he was attacked by this tank. The tank took it away from the battlefield.
