919. Western Reaches Campaign: Black Legion (Part 1)
Since the Christophsis battle, the Fourth Legion unit wearing black combat uniforms has become notorious among the Galactic Republic army.
First of all, the equipment of this unit is even better than Clone Trooper. Judging from the extremely small number of corpses and equipment samples recovered on the battlefield, the performance of the combat uniform numbered N-7 they are equipped with is very excellent. It has excellent defense capabilities against kinetic energy weapons and Energy Weapons. 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 Galactic Republic, but this army from Dawn Star Planet is actually already ahead of 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!
Moreover, the kinetic energy weapons they used had excellent penetration effects on Clone Trooper's polymer alloy armor, which made the military technical experts at Galactic Republic speechless.
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, Galactic Republic scientists finally found traces of Hypermatter reaction among the weapon wreckage.
Galactic Republic Scientists immediately determined that the important reason why these weapons could penetrate polymer alloy armor was that they used this special fuel that was only used when the spacecraft made a hyperspace jump. But how is this kind of thing applied to weapons? Galactic Republic scientists can't help but urge the frontline troops to obtain a complete sample at all costs. The priority is even higher than any other technology!
After calculation, the cost of making each soldier of this black combat uniform Fourth Legion is even more than ten times that of Clone Trooper!
The only good thing is that this force is very small in number. According to the Intelligence Department estimates, the total number is only about 10,000, which prevents this force from causing more severe damage.
But even so, whenever Fourth Legion goes into battle, Galactic Republic is completely defeated! No wins! They also left the title 'Black Legion' in the Republic Army.
However, Galactic Republic war experts also concluded that the reason for this is because the training method of this force is completely different from that of the clone force.
Both the knowledge infusion and combat training of the clone troopers are based on frontal combat, while the training of the Fourth Legion is more of special operations, such as destruction behind enemy lines, battlefield sneak attacks, and street fighting.
Moreover, every time Dawn Star Planet invests in the Fourth Legion, it is in such an environment where their combat capabilities can be best utilized, which is naturally detrimental to the clone troops.
Now this unit appeared again in Malastare, immediately arousing Republic commander's vigilance.
"Notify General Obi-Wan and General Luminara immediately! Black Legion appears again! Request air support and continue bombing the enemy's places!" Clone Commander CC-2224 Cody said loudly to the communicator.
Ferus Olin frowned and asked, "Black Legion? What is this?"
Cody looked at him and said, "Dawn Star Planet's ace unit, the most troublesome enemy..."
Communications continued to come from the communicator, "Company 1113 is under attack! Requesting support!"
"Contact lost from the direction of the mall! Requesting air support!"
"There is a sniper point on Building 4 in the direction of G-77! Let the AT-TE blow them up!"
"No. 6 Artillery Position is under attack! Please help, please help!!"
Cody pondered for a moment and said to the communicator, "Inform all units to recover the front line 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 Clone Trooper launched a fierce counterattack on the place where Fourth Legion appeared, they all retreated in an orderly manner. Their formation was not chaotic and organized, and even Fourth Legion could not find a chance to disrupt their deployment.
Ta-ta! Ta-ta!! Justin-Levis took the Pickaxe Semi-Automatic Assault Rifle in his hand and fired a few short bursts, immediately hitting the heads of the two retreating Clone Trooper.
Then he didn't even look at the result of his victory, and 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 building the house was blown up and stone chips flew everywhere. Then a heavy grenade flew over and exploded suddenly!
Justin-Levis had already circled to the other side of the building. The shock wave of the explosion and Shale caused ripples in his personal shield. However, his expression did not change, and he did not even bend his waist.
For a being of Soldier King level like him, he knows everything about what types of firepower may fall from where he is hiding and from what direction, as well as the load-bearing capacity and anti-penetration capabilities of the bunker. He didn't even want to dodge those attacks that were no threat at all except for being huge.
"The clones are retreating. They are either being attacked by air or covered by artillery fire. Pay attention to concealment." Justin-Levis said in a deep voice during the communication.
There was no more response in the communication channel, everyone knew what to do.
Fourth Civilization's soldiers immediately set up booby traps in 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-duty fighters passed by at low altitude in the sky. They first fired a round of cluster missiles, and then fired wildly at the ground with heavy laser cannons!
At high altitude, a large number of V-19 Torrent light fighters desperately fought with the Tri-fighter 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 aircraft 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 PTB-625 bombers, which were slow and cumbersome but with terrifying firepower, dropped Proton Bomb directly and without explanation on the place where Fourth Legion appeared before!
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! -
