Chapter 772: Jabiim's Endgame (1)
On Jabiim, the battle broke out on the 34th day.
The heavy rain continued, and even with the physical fitness of the Clone Troopers, there were many cases of fever, colds, and even pimples and blisters, which seriously affected their combat effectiveness.
In the Military Camp of the Republic Army, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and several Jedi Knights were patrolling the Barracks.
In the pouring rain, everything was so irritating. More than a dozen Clone Troopers are using High-Pressure Spray Guns to wash away the Mechanical Legs of the AT-TE Walkers that are completely covered in mud and can hardly move.
Several Clone Troopers took off their Battle Armor, poured out the rainwater accumulated in them, and then took off their inner linings to wring them out, revealing their soaked, white and wrinkled skin, as well as the deep white wounds.
Seeing that one of the wounded Clones was about to put his clothes and Armor back on, Anakin stopped him and said, "Soldier, the wounds on your body are already showing symptoms of inflammation and suppuration. You need to go to the Medical Unit for treatment as soon as possible."
"No problem, General Skywalker, I've already been injected with antibiotics." the Clone replied.
"Then it is obvious that these antibiotics that have been exposed to rain and moisture for a long time have not had the desired effect. Go find Aubrie. She has received the guidance of Master Windu and is an excellent Force Healer." Anakin said.
The Clone shook his head, "General Aubrie is already very tired, and there are people who are much more seriously injured than me waiting for her treatment."
"Go Soldier, this is her duty, and there are Jedi Padawans who have learned Medical Skills to help her." Obi-Wan Kenobi said."Yes sir, I'll go right away." The Clone no longer insisted and nodded in agreement.

A Clone Commander with Blue Shoulder Pads on his Armor said in a deep voice: "With all due respect, General, as the battle has progressed so far, we have lost the possibility of victory in a short period. We should start to consider the options I mentioned before..."
"Killing doesn't solve the problem, Alpha-17. If we carry out assassinations on High-Ranking Rebels, then our reputation in Jabiim will completely collapse. By then, maybe we will have to kill half the people on the Planet. ——And maybe it won't end the war." Obi-Wan Kenobi shook his head.
Alpha-17 was the first Advanced Recon Commando produced on Kamino, and among these Clones, the ones with the best training results and the strongest combat capabilities formed the ARC Force, and Alpha-17 was the best among them, both in terms of qualifications and ability.
"I also think we should consider this plan. From what I know about Alto Stratus, his firm and resolute personality has infected every one of his followers. Now only death can stop them." Orliss Gillmunn, the Commander of the Jabiimi Loyalists, said from the side.
Anakin Skywalker was already in an irritable mood. When he heard this, he retorted coldly: "Are you teaching us Jedi Knights how to do things? Mr. Commander. We are Jedi Knights, the guardians of the Galactic Republic. We have our code of conduct! Killing innocent people has never been our method!"
"But Alto Stratus is not innocent, and he will be sentenced to the harshest sentence in any court." Orliss Gillmunn continued.
"Enough!" Anakin roared.
"Anakin!!" Obi-Wan Kenobi shouted immediately.
Anakin lowered his head and shook his head, "I'm heading back to camp. I need to prepare for the counterattack in the afternoon."
After saying that, he walked away.
"You are reasonable, but the Separatists are not. As I said, only death can stop them." Gillmunn sighed, turned and left.
"I agree with his opinion. Those Separatists, we will kill them sooner or later." Alpha-17 said from the side.
Obi-Wan Kenobi's face darkened, "Say something meaningful, Alpha-17. Otherwise, I will transfer you to the Logistics Department to be responsible for flushing sludge."
"Then why don't you just kill me." Alpha-17 said, pressing the button on the Holographic Battlefield Map. "Let's talk about the Battle Plan."
Unexpectedly, after the Holographic Battlefield Map was opened, there was a lot of interference on the screen. Alpha-17 slapped the Holographic Projector hard, and water swung out of the Holographic Projector. Then the Holographic Map completely shut down and there was no screen.
Alpha-17 was extremely annoyed and kicked the Holographic Projector aside, causing a large amount of rainwater to gush out from the machine. Fortunately, he was still prepared. He took out a map made of waterproof materials and spread it across the table. He pointed at the dense markings on the map and said: "According to our latest news, Alto Stratus is at Razor Coast. This is his third stop in the past 10 days."
At this time, the tent was opened, and Jedi Master Sirrus walked in and said, "Are you discussing the next phase of operations? I hope I didn't miss anything."
"Alto Stratus is at Razor Coast," Obi-Wan said.
"Is the news confirmed?" Sirrus asked.
"The news is certain, but I'm not sure whether he will escape, just like the previous two times." Alpha-17 said.
Jedi Master Sirrus glanced at the Holographic Projector lying in the corner, came to the map, looked at it, and said: "Now we are one day away from Cobalt Station, and from this distance, if our AT-TE Walkers to travel in the mud, if we struggle, it may take 3 to 4 days. I think this is our limit. If we cannot capture Alto Stratus this time, we must retreat. The tragedy of Jedi Master Norcuna cannot be repeated."
"Then let's start the attack this afternoon. I can't stand being rained on in this place anymore." Alpha-17 said.
But they couldn't wait until the afternoon...
Several Missiles launched from IG-227 Hailfire-class Droid Tanks fell into the Military Camp of the Republic Army, kicking off the Jabiim Nationalist Army's counterattack!
A large number of B-1 Battle Droids emerged from the rain curtain and launched an attack on the Republic's Army! After these B-1 Battle Droids attracted a large amount of firepower from the Republic Army, the more Elite A-series Assassin Droids and their agile posture burst into the battlefield!
Not only that, Jackals armed with M-90 Indra Sniper Rifles and carrying Shield Generators on their backs also mingled among the Droid Army, firing deadly bullets at Republic Soldiers.
The Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems used all their Heavy Equipment. Large Battle Droids such as the OG-9 Homing Spider Droid and Hailfire-class Droid Tank poured their extremely powerful firepower towards the Clone Trooper positions.
