Chapter 1609: Star Lion, Star Frog, Star Bear, Star Symbol!
Chapter 1608 Star Lion, Star Frog, Star Bear, Astrology!
In fact.
A joint offensive by Northern Ireland's Royal Ulster Constabulary and 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines.
It put great pressure on a thousand astral soldiers.
The source of pressure is not the opponent's ground troops.
But there are armed helicopters in the sky!
They hovered in the sky where the fighting was fiercest.
Use mounted 70mm rockets, 30m chain cannons, and even Hellfire missiles for anti-tank use.
Carry out round after round of strafing or bombing against the astral soldiers who are sheltered by various buildings.
This began to cause substantial and effective damage to the latter.
As mentioned before, the most technologically advanced part of an Astral Soldier's body is the tactical eyepiece.
For example, helmets and combat uniforms are at most mixed with a little bit of Kabane’s bio-fiber material.
It is also strong enough to protect against pistol bullets of less than ten millimeters.
Therefore, you will still die if you are hit by a machine gun, let alone rockets and anti-tank missiles.
At the same time, the snipers and grenadiers among the Star Soldiers are also working hard to fight back.
After all, both heavy sniper rifles and rocket launchers can pose a threat to helicopters.
But this is only a small chance of happening.
First of all, the bullet caliber of the former is 12.7 mm.
Although most of the Apache helicopters dispatched by the 3rd Commando Brigade are made of lightweight aluminum alloy.
However, boron carbide ceramics and Kevlar fiber bulletproof armor are installed in key parts such as the engine, fuel tank, and passenger cabin.
They are strong enough to withstand direct fire from 23mm bullets at a range of 500 meters.
Even the only three pieces of glass in front of the driver are high-strength alumina bulletproof glass.
It can withstand close range shooting of 12.7mm bullets and long-range shooting of 23mm bullets.
Even if it could hit the main rotor rod accurately, it would be useless.
Because it uses high-strength alloy steel material.
It is fully capable of withstanding direct hits from 12.7 mm armor-piercing projectiles.
Unless you can hit a location twice in a row to completely interrupt it.
Moreover, a sniper only has five seconds at most to shoot at an armed helicopter. When the latter reacts, it will be covered by a round of fire.
As for the rocket launcher, if it can hit, there is a high probability that one shot can penetrate the soul.
But this is only when the distance between the two parties is close enough.
The Astra Militarum side had already exposed its rocket launchers in the previous firefight.
This put the armed helicopters of the 3rd Commando Brigade Squadron on alert and gave the grenadiers no room to play.
Relying on the absolute range advantage, it is equipped with airborne laser rangefinder, forward-looking infrared system, gunner's special optical direct sight and other observation equipment.
As long as there is any trace of the astral soldiers, even one of them will immediately shoot at him.
Even if you hide in a building, you will call for tanks on the ground to cooperate with the bombing, and at the same time, let the infantry surround and suppress you from both sides.
After all, they are also a modern army.
And it is one of the five permanent members!
And after realizing that the enemy is also an army, not ordinary terrorists.
There is no need to worry about the damage to the city and the possible existence of civilians.
After all, not every country's army is that army.
It's just that they didn't realize that both sides had been fighting fiercely for almost two hours, but they hadn't been able to push the front back much.
Instead, corpses wearing the uniforms of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Royal Marines lay in the streets along the way.
Obviously, the armed helicopters are so majestic in the sky that they ignore the difficult situation of the ground troops.
After all, the number of the former is too small, and the full number is only twelve.
Seeing that they had nothing to do with them, the Astral Soldiers placed their main interception targets on their ground troops.
Although the soldiers of the 3rd Commando Brigade of the Royal Marines are considered elite.
But they are still no match for the Star Boundary Soldiers.
One person of the latter is enough to blockade a street and eliminate an entire team of the former.
It's just that an infantry battalion is an infantry battalion.
The force of a thousand men is getting smaller and smaller as they fight, and until now, they have suffered nearly half of their casualties.
It is difficult to continue to stop the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the 3rd Commando Brigade.
But they have bought valuable time!
I saw that the small star gate in the center of the intersection had been connected to the shrinking tunnel.
Armored vehicles that had been shrunk and then enlarged were lining up in two long convoys, driving out with great momentum.
It is worth mentioning that after a series of previous reforms.
The equipment paint of the Astral Legion has been changed from the previous black to the current blue.
These vehicles arranged in the first batch are the "Star Frog" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that are most needed in the current war situation, and the "French Lion" infantry fighting vehicles belonging to the infantry battalion.
All the weapons and equipment now equipped by the Astral Legion.
All of them are new and enhanced versions developed by talents from the two worlds of "nuclear weapons" and "demon slayer".
They have comprehensive performance that exceeds the excellent weapons and equipment of previous countries.
Therefore, previous models cannot be used anymore.
Finally, the Astral Legion discussed internally.
I decided to directly replace it with a brand new "star" model, and then add the "generation" number.
In other words, these infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are in front of us.
In fact, it should be called the ‘Star Lion Generation’ or ‘Star Frog Generation’.
Naturally, with the advancement of technology, second, third, and fourth generations will appear in the future.
For a moment.
These 'Star Lions' and 'Star Frogs' were scattered across the battlefields like stars in the sky.
The anti-aircraft guns of the 'Star Frog' are like the scarlet frog tongues spitting out quickly, knocking down the dragonfly-shaped armed helicopters from the sky, and there is no way to avoid them!
The 'Star Lions' were like a group of lionesses 'protecting their cubs', seeing the other side bullying the Star Realm soldiers who were struggling to resist.
When the fury was about to be unleashed on the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the ground troops of the 3rd Commando Brigade Royal Marines.
The two fully automatic aiming heavy machine guns above knocked the latter off his back.
Even if they pulled up wheeled armored vehicles, they would be completely unable to fight against them.
The firepower is no match, and the armor is not on the same level. He is easily torn apart by the Star Lion in a single encounter!
In this way, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.
The defense line of the 1st Heavy Combined Brigade began to expand rapidly.
It didn't take long to reach Belfast City Hall.
However, many officials, including the mayor, had already evacuated the place and fled.
The Astra Militarum did not care about this. After finding the city map inside, they began to divide their troops and go to important facilities such as ports, police stations, airports, power plants, broadcasting companies, and water plants.
The order they received was to completely control the entire city before dark!
at the same time.
The star gate at the rear is still 'pushing' outward in conjunction with the narrowing tunnel.
One hundred "Star Lion" infantry fighting vehicles and thirty "Star Frog" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns followed.
There are fifty "Xingxiang" self-propelled artillery pieces and thirty "Meteor" rocket launcher vehicles.
Then came one hundred "Xingxiong" main battle tanks and twelve "Xingqi" double-barreled main battle tanks.
Behind them are thirty "Satellite" anti-aircraft missile vehicles and three hundred "Star Bull" armored transport vehicles.
As well as four ‘Xingyun’ drone control vehicles, five ‘Xinghui’ medical surgery vehicles, and ten ‘Xinghuo’ cooking kitchen vehicles.
There are also two "Comet" intercontinental missile vehicles, two "Starry Sky" communication base station vehicles, and two "Starlink" satellite launch vehicles.
Finally, there is the core ‘MCV’, named ‘Star Boundary’, a mobile base manufacturing vehicle!
It can be expanded into a heavy industrial construction plant covering a large area and with extremely complete functions anytime and anywhere.
It can be used both as a command post and to quickly repair damaged armored units.
Or temporarily manufacture modular small power plants, water purification plants, planting houses, double-story barracks and other military facilities.
Even if there are enough materials, enough power, and enough time.
Firearms, ammunition, grenades, and armored vehicles such as tanks and combat vehicles can be manufactured on-site.
And this is just the ground force of a heavy composite brigade of the Astra Militarum.
The entire Leo Group Army has a total of twenty heavy-duty combined brigades!
Such a powerful military force is enough to suppress most of the world!
