Chapter 1608 Star Lion, Star Frog, Star Bear, and Star Signs!
In fact.
A joint offensive by the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the 3rd Commando Brigade Royal Marines.
This put tremendous pressure on the one thousand star soldiers.
The source of the pressure is not the enemy's ground forces.
But the armed helicopters in the sky!
They hovered over where the fighting was most intense.
Use mounted 70mm rockets, 30mm chain machine guns, and even Hellfire missiles for anti-tank purposes.
Launch round after round of strafing or bombing on the Star Soldiers who are taking cover in various buildings.
This began to cause substantial and effective damage to the latter.
As mentioned before, the most technologically advanced item on a Star Soldier is the tactical eyepiece.
As for helmets and combat uniforms, at most a small amount of Kabane's biological fiber material is mixed in.
The strength is only enough to defend against pistol bullets smaller than ten millimeters.
Therefore, if you are hit by a machine gun, you will still die, not to mention rockets and anti-tank missiles.
At the same time, snipers and grenadiers among the Star Soldiers were also trying 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 caliber of the former's bullet is 12.7 mm.
The Apache attack helicopters dispatched by the 3rd Commando Brigade are mostly 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 crew cabin.
They are strong enough to withstand direct fire from 23mm bullets at a distance of 500 meters.
Even the only three panes 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 you can hit the main rotor pole accurately, it will be useless.
Because it uses high-strength alloy steel material.
It is fully capable of withstanding direct hits from 12.7mm armor-piercing bullets.
Unless you can hit one location twice in a row to completely interrupt it.
Moreover, a sniper only has five seconds at most to shoot at an armed helicopter, and by the time the helicopter reacts, it will be bombarded with fire.
As for the rocket launcher, if it can hit the target, there is a high probability that it can hit the target with one shot.
But this is when the two sides are close enough.
In the previous firefight, the Astra Militarum side had already exposed the rocket launcher.
This made the armed helicopters of the 3rd Commando Brigade's flying squadron alert and left no room for the grenadiers to perform.
Relying on its absolute range advantage, it is equipped with observation equipment such as the onboard laser rangefinder, forward-looking infrared system, and gunner-specific optical direct aiming device.
As long as they find any trace of a star soldier, even if there is only one, they will be fired upon immediately.
Even if they hide in a building, they will call on ground tanks to cooperate in the bombing, and at the same time let the infantry surround and suppress them from both sides.
After all, they are also a modern army.
And he 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 or the possible existence of civilians.
After all, not every country's army is that army.
But they didn't realize that after almost two hours of fierce fighting, both sides had not been able to push the front line back much.
Instead, bodies wearing the uniforms of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Royal Marines were lying in the streets along the way.
Obviously, the armed helicopters were so majestic in the sky that they ignored the difficult situation of the ground troops.
After all, the number of the former is really too small, only twelve at most.
Seeing that they could not do anything about them, the Star Soldiers focused their main interception targets on their ground forces.
The soldiers of the 3rd Commando Brigade of the Royal Marines are also considered elite.
But they are still no match for the Star Boundary Soldiers.
The latter alone is enough to block a street and eliminate an entire team of the former.
It’s just that an infantry battalion is an infantry battalion.
The force of one thousand people was getting smaller and smaller as the battle went on. Up to now, nearly half of them had been killed or wounded.
It was difficult to hold back the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the 3rd Commando Brigade.
But they have bought precious time!
I saw that the small star gate in the middle of the intersection was connected to the shrinking tunnel.
Armored vehicles that had been shrunk and then enlarged were lined up in two long convoys and drove out with great momentum.
It is worth mentioning that after a series of reforms.
The paint scheme of the Astra Militarum equipment has been changed from black to blue.
The vehicles arranged in the first batch are precisely the "Star Frog" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that are most needed in the current battle situation, and the "Star Lion" infantry fighting vehicles belonging to the infantry battalion.
All the weapons and equipment currently equipped by the Astra Militarum.
All of them are new enhanced versions developed by gathering talents from the two worlds of "Nuclear Weapons" and "Demon Slayer".
They have comprehensive performance that exceeds that of previous excellent weapons and equipment of various countries.
Therefore, previous models can no longer be used.
Finally, the Star Legion had an internal discussion.
It was decided to directly replace it with a brand new 'Star' model and then add some 'generation' to it.
In other words, these infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are in front of us.
In fact, it should be called "Star Lion Generation" or "Star Frog Generation".
Naturally, as technology advances, there will be second, third, and fourth generations.
For a moment.
These 'star lions' and 'star frogs' were scattered across the battlefields like stars in the sky.
The anti-aircraft gun of the 'Star Frog' is like a scarlet frog tongue that spits out quickly, shooting down the dragonfly-shaped armed helicopters in the sky one after another, and there is no escape!
The 'Star Lions' were like a group of 'lionesses protecting their cubs', seeing the other side bullying the star soldiers who were struggling to resist.
Immediately, fierce anger was poured out on the ground troops of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the 3rd Commando Brigade of the Royal Marines.
The two fully automatic heavy machine guns above knocked the latter off their feet.
Even if they pulled up wheeled armored vehicles, they would be completely unable to fight back.
The firepower was not comparable, and the armor was not on the same level. It was easily torn to pieces by the "Star Lion" in the first encounter!
In this way, the situation on the battlefield was reversed instantly.
The 1st Heavy Combined Brigade's defense line began to expand rapidly.
It wasn’t long before the fight reached Belfast’s City Hall.
However, many officials, including the mayor, had already evacuated the area and fled.
The Astra Militarum did not care about this. After finding a map of the entire city, they began to send troops to important facilities such as ports, police stations, airports, power plants, radio stations, 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 was still 'swallowing and spitting out' in cooperation with the shrinking tunnel.
Behind them were one hundred "Star Lion" infantry fighting vehicles and thirty "Star Frog" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.
There are fifty "Star" self-propelled artillery and thirty "Meteor" rocket launchers.
Next came one hundred 'Star Bear' main battle tanks and twelve 'Star Awaken' double-barreled main battle tanks.
There are also thirty "Satellite" air defense missile vehicles and three hundred "Star Bull" armored transport vehicles behind.
As well as four 'Nebula' drone control vehicles, five 'Starlight' medical surgery vehicles, and ten 'Starfire' cooking kitchen vehicles.
There are also two 'Comet' intercontinental missile vehicles, two 'Starry Sky' communication base station vehicles, and two 'Starlink' satellite launch vehicles.
The last one is the core vehicle, named 'MCV', the mobile base manufacturing vehicle, which is named 'Star Realm'!
It can be expanded anytime and anywhere into a heavy industrial construction plant with a large area and extremely complete functions.
It can be used as a headquarters and also to quickly repair damaged armored units.
Or temporarily manufacture modular small power plants, water purification plants, planting rooms, double-decker barracks and other military facilities.
Even if there are enough materials, enough electricity and enough time.
It is entirely possible to manufacture guns, ammunition, grenades, as well as tanks, combat vehicles and other armored vehicles on site.
And this is just the ground force of a heavy composite brigade of the Astra Militarum.
The entire Leo Army has a total of twenty heavy combined brigades!
Such a powerful military force is enough to suppress most of the world!
