919, Battle of the West: Black Legion (Part 1)
Since the Battle of Christophsis, the Fourth Legion, a force wearing black combat uniforms, has become 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 extremely small number of corpses and equipment samples recovered on the battlefield, the performance of the combat uniform numbered N-7 they equipped is very excellent, and it is very effective against kinetic energy weapons and
Energy weapons all have excellent defensive capabilities, 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 is actually ahead of the Galactic Republic!
Not only that, each of them is equipped with a very advanced personal terminal on their wrist. This personal terminal integrates battlefield data processing, personal status management, drug use, shield control, and hacking tools, and can even be used as a
Combat daggers, small tools and even pliers and scissors are available!
It’s simply incredible!
Moreover, 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 soldier's death 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 can penetrate polymer alloy armor is that they use this special fuel that is only used when the spacecraft performs a hyperspace jump. But how is this thing used in weapons?
The scientists of the Republic had no choice but to urge the frontline troops to obtain a complete sample at all costs, with priority even above 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. This prevents this force from causing more severe damage.
But even so, whenever the Fourth Legion was dispatched to fight, the Galactic Republic was completely defeated! There was no victory! They also left 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 Fourth Army's training is more on special operations, such as destruction behind enemy lines, battlefield sneak attacks, and street fighting.
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 detrimental to the clone troops.
Now this force appears again on the planet Marastal, immediately arousing the vigilance 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 loudly into the communicator.
Ferrus Olin frowned and asked: "Black Legion? What is this?"
Cody looked at him and said: "The ace force of Dawn Planet, 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 into the communicator: "Inform all units to recover the front line immediately! The Air Force bombing will begin in 10 minutes!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!! The 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 knocked the building from two-thirds of its height.
Blast into two pieces!
After the clone troopers launched a fierce counterattack against the Fourth Legion, they all retreated in an orderly manner. Their formation was orderly and orderly, and even the 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 two retreating clone soldiers.
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 burst of explosive energy, and the concrete building the house was blown into pieces. Then a heavy grenade flew over and exploded suddenly!
Justin Levis had already circled 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 knows everything about 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. Apart from being huge and powerful, he knows everything.
He didn't even want to hide from a non-threatening attack.
"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 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 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 launched 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 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 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 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 bombs almost plowed this area to the ground! The bombed area even seemed to be experiencing a magnitude 6 earthquake!
