Chapter 773: Jabiim's Endgame (Part 2)
"Enemy attack! Organize defense immediately!" After the battle broke out, Obi-Wan Kenobi reacted immediately and shouted to the Clone Troopers.
However, for these Elite Soldiers, they did not need any prompting at all. They had already started to defend and counterattack in an orderly manner.
"Where is Anakin?" Obi-Wan shouted, grabbing a Clone Officer.
"I don't know, General. But we lost contact with the Troops on the Northern Flank after the attack. He may be over there!' The Clone Officer pointed in a direction.
Obi-Wan looked over. Through the pouring rain, he could see the Violent Explosions and Fire rising in that direction. He couldn't help but curse, "Dammit! Where is Master Sirrus?"
"General Sirrus led a Commando Team to counterattack. Before he left, he said that the Heavy Firepower of the Separatists must be dealt with! Now you are the Supreme Commander here, General Obi-Wan." The Clone Officer said.
"Establish contact between the various Battle Groups as soon as possible. We cannot fight alone! Send Teams to Various Battlefields!' Obi-Wan Kenobi gave the order.
"Yes! General!"
Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! Missiles continued to fall from the sky, and Violent Explosions splashed mud all over the sky. In this Chaotic Battlefield, the Clone Troopers were running around without any chaos at all.
The Clone Troopers entered the Bunker one after another and retaliated with fire. The Heavy Artillery on the back of the AT-TE Walkers fired continuously, and the AT-XT Walkers were responsible for covering the flanks of the Defense Position.
A handful of LAAT/I Gunships forcibly took off, carrying Clone Troopers to penetrate behind Enemy Lines, and then launched a fierce Air Attack on the Separatist Army's Heavy Machinery.
The Jabiim Nationalist Army also put all its forces on the ground and launched a Comprehensive Counterattack against the Republic.
In fact, although during this period of fighting, the Troops of the Galactic Republic struggled in heavy rain and mud and were exhausted, their opponents, the Jabiim Nationalist Army, were equally uncomfortable. After all, Alto Stratus still carries the name of a traitor, and many cities in Jabiim that are loyal to the Government are still resisting and unwilling to surrender. Even if these cities also did not accept the Republic, it did not mean that they would accept Alto Stratus.
Not to mention that there are more fence-sitters who are frightened by the strength of the Galactic Republic and are waiting for the outcome of this battle before deciding which side to support.
Therefore, the foundation behind Alto Stratus is also unstable. This is the reason why he has never entered the Capital City of Jabiim.
This battle is also long for the Jabiim Nationalist Army. Even if their Soldiers are more adaptable to rainy weather than the Republic Clone Army, there is a limit after all. Their health is equally worrying if they are soaked in rain in the wild for a long time. Moreover, the physical fitness and combat capabilities of their Soldiers are far inferior to those of the Clone Troopers.
In every battle, they exchanged their lives for victory with a battle-loss ratio that far exceeded that of the Republic's Army.
The Confederacy of Independent Systems has provided aid to the Jabiim Nationalist Army, but these things all come at a price, and the price is the Mining Rights of Jabiim. In order to prevent his Planet from becoming a vassal of the big capitalists of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Alto Stratus did not dare to accept too much aid.
What's more, in such rain, in addition to the expensive A-series Assassin Droids, other Droids also suffered great losses.
So Alto Stratus could only go so far.
He kept pretending to be defeated, using himself as bait to attract the Republic Army to attack, then distanced the Republic Army from their Headquarters, and now will annihilate them in one fell swoop!
But in these several fraudulent operations, all those who died were Jabiim people!
And now, it's time for the decisive battle. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!
A large number of Jabiim Nationalist Army Soldiers followed the B-1 Battle Droids and launched a roaring charge. They were not afraid of death for the independence and freedom of the Planet.
However, their Combat Capabilities were far inferior to those of the Clone Army. They were still wiped out in droves during the war, but they remained fearless and continued to attack and charge.
The independently commanded Droid Army did not take care of these Jabiim Soldiers during the battle. Because they were blocking the way, they were knocked to the ground as if they were nothing by the B-1 Battle Droids, and then the Jabiim Soldiers who died in the constant trampling were not few.
The Jackal Army armed with Sniper Rifles was also caught in its weakness. The Republic Clone Army descended from the sky on a LAAT/I Gunships and broke into their Sniper Positions directly to kill. The Jackals, who were cunning, cowardly, and originally lacking in discipline, ran, and the organized ones were dispersed.
Only the Salarian Army, after using the Jackals as human shields, played a great role and annihilated several Clone Commandos. But they also suffered heavy losses and the Salarians, who were unwilling to fight head-on, began to act cautiously.
Alto Stratus led the most Elite Soldiers, the Nimbus Commando's, and began to make a roundabout move towards the rear of the Republic Army, preparing to cut off their retreat.
The battle lasted for a full 10 hours. Finally, after paying a heavy price, the Jabiim Nationalist Army broke up the Clone Army's Defense Line. In the following time, they were finally able to fight against those who had lost their solid positions and coordination. The Clone Troopers, who had become isolated and helpless from their fighting teammates, vented their endless rage.
About 5,000 Clone Troopers of the Republic were killed in the battle. Master Sirrus launched a counterattack on the core area of ??the Droid Army. After destroying several of the most threatening IG-227 Hailfire-class Droid Tanks, he was finally exhausted and was killed by Asajj Ventress.
During the battle, Obi-Wan Kenobi disappeared, and Anakin Skywalker, along with the Troops on the Northern Flank, lost contact.
The Jabiim Nationalist Army did not stop because of this. They did not even cheer on the corpses of the Clone Troopers and immediately embarked on the journey to the next battle.
While the dispersed defeated Troops have not yet returned, and more assistance from the Republic has not yet arrived, the current Military Base of the Republic Army, Cobalt Station, is at its weakest.
They must use this best opportunity to break through the Republic's Military Base in one fell swoop and establish the victory of this battle.
No matter the cost!
The Jabiim Nationalist Army launched the most brutal offensive. They had just finished a battle and then marched for a whole day. They were exhausted, but they faced the Republic Clone Troopers who had been recuperating in the past few days.
But they must attack!
The war potential of the Galactic Republic is far beyond that of the poor Jabiim.
As long as the Republic is willing, a steady stream of reinforcements will arrive, and then Jabiim will be completely crushed without any effort.
Alto Stratus cannot wait, and neither can Jabiim.
The Republic Forces on Jabiim must be defeated, no matter the cost!
The loss of the B-1 Battle Droids is also very serious. At this moment, the only thing the Jabiim Nationalist Army can do is to pay for it with human lives!
Darth Malthael's Dark Jedi Ulu Ulix waited in front of Alto Stratus, and he also understood that the final battle was coming.
