Chapter 920: Battle of the West: Black Legion (Part 1)
919. Battle of the West: Black Legion (Part 1)
Since the battle on the planet Christophsis, the Fourth Legion has worn black combat uniforms The troops became notorious among the Galactic Republic Army.
First of all, the equipment of this unit is even better than that of the clone soldiers. Judging from the very small number of corpses and equipment samples recovered on the battlefield, the performance of the combat uniform numbered N-7 they equipped is very good. Excellent, they have excellent defense against kinetic weapons and energy weapons, and what's even crazier is that they are all equipped with personal shields!
The miniaturization and personalization of shields, as well as the mass production of small shields, are problems that need to be overcome urgently for the Galactic Republic, but this army from the Dawn Planet has actually already taken the lead. At the front of the Galactic Republic!
Not only that, each of them is equipped with a very advanced personal terminal on their wrist. This kind of personal terminal integrates battlefield data processing, personal status management, drug use, shield control, and hacking tools. It can even be used as a combat dagger, small tools, and even pliers and scissors!
It’s simply incredible!
And the kinetic energy weapons they used had excellent penetration effects on the polymer alloy armor of the clone soldiers, which made the military technical experts of the Galactic Republic astonished.
Because these weapons all detonated built-in small explosives after confirming the death of the soldier through the personal terminal, complete samples could not be recovered. After painstaking research, Republic scientists finally found traces of super-material reactions in the weapon wreckage. .
Republic scientists immediately determined that the important reason why these weapons were able to penetrate polymer alloy armor was the use of this special fuel that was only used when the spacecraft made a hyperspace jump. But how is this kind of thing applied to weapons? The scientists of the Republic have no choice but to urge the frontline troops to obtain a complete sample at all costs. The priority is even higher than any other technology!
After calculation, the manufacturing cost of each soldier of this Fourth Legion in black combat uniforms is even more than ten times that of a clone soldier!
The only good thing is that this force is very small in number. According to intelligence estimates, the total number is only about 10,000, which prevents this force from causing more severe damage.
But even so, whenever the Fourth Legion is dispatched to fight, the Galactic Republic is completely defeated! No wins! They also left behind the title of 'Black Legion' in the Republic Army.
However, war experts from the Galactic Republic also concluded that the reason for this is because the training method of this force is completely different from that of the clone forces.
Both the knowledge infusion and combat training of the Clone Force are based on frontal combat, while the training of the Fourth Army is more on special operations, such as sabotage behind enemy lines, such as battlefield sneak attacks, such as Street fighting kind of thing.
Moreover, every time Dawn Planet invests in the Fourth Legion, it is in such an environment where their combat capabilities can be best utilized, which is naturally unfavorable to the clone troops.
Now this force appears again on the planet Malastar, immediately arousing the alert of the Republic commander.
“Notify General Obi-Wan and General Luminara immediately! The Black Legion appears again! Request air support and continue bombing the enemy’s places!” Clone Commander CC-2224 Cody said to He said loudly into the communicator.
Ferrus Olin frowned and asked: "Black Legion? What is this?"
Cody looked at him and said: "The ace troops of Dawn Planet are the most troublesome. The enemy..."
Communications continued to come from the communicator, "Company 1113 is under attack! Requesting support!"
"Lost contact in the direction of the mall! Requesting air support!"
"Upstairs at No. 4, direction of G-77 There is a sniper point! Let the AT-TE attack them! Please help!”
Cody thought for a moment and said to the communicator. : "Notify all units to recover the front immediately! The air force bombing will begin in 10 minutes!"
boom! boom! boom! ! AT-TE finally opened fire. The powerful heavy howitzer fired three shots in a row. A building in front was suddenly covered in artillery fire. The huge explosion even blew the building into two parts from two-thirds of its height!
After the clone soldiers launched a fierce counterattack at the place where the Fourth Legion was, they retreated in an orderly manner. Their formation was not chaotic and organized, and even the Fourth Legion could not find a chance to disrupt them. deploy.
Da da! Ta-ta! ! Justin Levis held the pickaxe semi-automatic assault rifle in his hand and fired a few short bursts, immediately hitting the heads of two retreating clone soldiers.
Immediately, without looking at the result of his victory, he rolled on the spot and jumped from the gap.
The next second, the place where he was just now was covered by a dense blaster beam, and the concrete used to build the house was blown away and stone chips flew everywhere. Then a heavy grenade flew over and exploded suddenly!
Justin Levis had already walked around to the other side of the building. The shock wave of the explosion and the debris caused ripples on his personal shield. However, his expression did not change and he did not even bend down.
For a being at the level of a soldier like him, he has a clear understanding of what types of firepower may fall from what direction where he is hiding, and how much load-bearing capacity and anti-penetration capabilities the bunker has. . He didn't even want to dodge those attacks that were no threat at all except for being huge.
"The clones are retreating, either from air strikes or artillery fire coverage. Pay attention to concealment." Justin Levis said solemnly in the communication.
There was no more response in the communication channel, everyone knew what to do.
The soldiers of the Fourth Civilization immediately set up booby traps in some places that were not easily covered by bombing, and then also withdrew from the battle and ran towards the underground bunkers.
A moment later, a formation of ARC-170 heavy fighter jets passed by at low altitude in the sky, first launching a round of cluster missiles, and then shooting wildly at the ground with heavy laser cannons!
At high altitude, a large number of V-19 Riptide light fighters desperately fought with the triple robot fighters that took off to intercept, creating more opportunities. Then three 30-meter-long PTB-625 bombers appeared on the battlefield!
The ARC-170 heavy fighter planes that completed the first wave of bombing missions also immediately climbed to altitude and joined the aerial battle to provide cover for the bombers.
These three slow and cumbersome PTB-625 bombers, but with terrifyingly powerful firepower, dropped proton bombs on the place where the Fourth Army appeared before without any explanation!
Boom! boom! boom! boom! ! ! The powerful proton bomb almost plowed this area to the ground! The bombed area even looked like it was experiencing a magnitude 6 earthquake! -
