The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

713. Hunter Squad

The hunter-class battlecruiser commanded by Shen Jon fired directly at the planet after entering the range.

Orbit bombing!

The planet Irene was not equipped with expensive planetary shields, and several powerful turbo lasers were blown up by the Hunter class in succession. Huge mushroom clouds were set off on the surface of the planet, and the terrifying explosion power spread around. Several mines and energy centers be destroyed.

The vulture robot fighters took off like crazy to block, but the V-19 torrent light fighters here quickly suppressed their counterattack momentum completely, and hundreds of vulture fighters were destroyed.

The orbital cannon on the surface of the planet Irene was finally locked by the Jaeger-class battlecruiser after firing continuously. After several accurate bombardments, the cannon was also blown into a pile of ruins.

Then the Jaeger-class battlecruiser rushed directly into the planet's atmosphere. Under the cover of fighter jets, the LAAT/I assault transport ships took off one after another. After a burst of violent bombardment of the ground targets, they began to land with a full load of clone soldiers.

After entering the atmosphere, the ground firepower of Planet Irene became more and more crazy. Basically, all the weapons that could fire were fired at the air, and all the spaceships and fighter jets that could take off took off, launching a full-scale attack on the battleship.

This made the Jaeger-class battlecruiser also feel tremendous pressure. After putting down the 4,000-man marines, the battleship began to raise its height and provide fire support at a height of 50,000 meters from the ground.

Planet Irene is an inhospitable planet, mostly slaves and robot laborers. In addition, there are about 20,000 B-1 battle robots and 1,500 Fourth Civilization Army soldiers defending it.

Jedi Master Shen-Jon got down from the fighter jet and personally led the army to attack the administrative control center of the planet Irene. The clone troopers began to advance under the cover of 10 AT-TE walkers. And Shen-Jon's apprentice, Jedi apprentice Nat Reese continued to fly the Delta-7 fighter jets to provide cover in the air.

The Republic Air Force, which had an absolute advantage, first shot down many Confederate fighters and spaceships that took off to meet the enemy, and then the LAAT assault gunboats began to exert powerful firepower to carry out fierce air strikes on ground targets. Destroyed many of the B-1 battle droids that launched the counterattack.

After many battles, the clone troopers acted calmly and efficiently, and the cooperation between the groups was perfect. In contrast, even with the cover of the robot army, the Army of the Fourth Civilization still keeps losing ground.

Hunter, Sight, Wrecker, and Technician are still the four of them forming a combat team, interspersed in the battlefield at high speed. The Sight is very good at marksmanship. The Hunter and Wrecker are responsible for the forward assault, and the technician is responsible for the rear cover.

After more than two months of being besieged and hunted down on Planet Mingban, compared with the terrifying environment where there are robots all over the mountains and nowhere to hide, this kind of battlefield is simply child's play for them.

"M-247! Direction towards 11 o'clock! Three!!" The front sight said loudly, he picked up the blaster rifle in his hand, and fired several shots in that direction, but the soldiers of the fourth civilization were also well hidden. Several shots failed to hit.

The battle has been fought for several months, and now the two sides are basically familiar with the equipment commonly used by the other side's frontline troops. Because the Army of the Fourth Civilization mostly uses Gaussian weapons, the gunfire is completely different from that of the Army of the Confederacy of Independent Galaxy. It's easy to tell.

This is especially true for the M-247 heavy machine gun used by the Fourth Civilization Army on a large scale. After this heavy machine gun is modified to be electromagnetically excited, it is even more powerful, and it also has a very obvious effect on the composite alloy armor of clone soldiers.

The composite alloy armor of the clone trooper can distribute the kinetic energy impact to the whole body to bear it, greatly reducing the impact on a single point. But now the fourth civilization's electromagnetic weapons widely use hypermatter acceleration. For the 12.7mm caliber M-247 heavy machine gun, 50 micrograms of hypermatter can support about 20,000 rounds of bullets. It is indeed more expensive, but the penetration of clone trooper combat armor is far superior to that of blaster rifles.

Therefore, the M-247 heavy machine gun is also a notorious existence among clone soldiers.

"Is there fire support?" the hunter asked loudly.

"This is the hunter tactical team, coordinates H3-7-3, request artillery support!" The technician immediately called in the communicator. The hunter team is the name of their new team in Shen Qiaoen's army.

"There is no extra artillery support! Repeat, there is no extra artillery support!" The rear gave a helpless answer.

The technician looked at the battlefield behind him. A few hundred meters away, the nearest AT-TE walking machine was firing while advancing. The length of 13 meters and the height of 5 meters made this huge war machine even hundreds of meters away. Mi Kaiwai is also very conspicuous.

The four scattered blaster cannons equipped right in front of the AT-TE were firing, and the scattered blaster beams that had been cut into dozens of blasts exploded a large area at the target point, where the B-1 battle robots were smashed one after another. And the heavy artillery behind the walker is also constantly suppressing firepower in the distance.

However, they were also taken care of by the defenders. There were rockets and anti-tank missiles whistling from all directions with long tail flames, and exploded on the walking fuselage.

"We're on our own!" exclaimed the technician.

"Obstacle Removal King! Grenade!" The hunter immediately roared.

"Here we come!!" With a tacit understanding, the Wrecker King immediately picked up a few C-22 fragmentation grenades and threw them out with all his strength. He likes to exercise in his daily time, and his strength is stronger than other clone soldiers [Note 1 ], these grenades were thrown more than a hundred meters by him, and they exploded at the same time near the hillside!

The C-22 fragmentation grenade is very advanced, and the delayed explosion time can be up to two minutes. The Wrecker King is thick and fine. He adjusted the delayed explosion time of these grenades so that they explode at the same time.

With the explosion of the grenade, the hunter bent his back, and rushed out like a leopard. At the same time, he kept shaking from side to side and changing directions. Several bullets fired at him all fell into the empty space.

There are also a few soldiers of the Fourth Civilization wearing Liberator combat uniforms shooting from behind the bunker, but the front sight at the back can finally be used, even if he is holding a DC-15S blaster rifle in his hand, he still has no high power. Shooting with a scope, accurately killed two enemies.

After rushing to the bottom of the hillside, the hunter threw two grenades, and then rushed to the side of the firepower point like lightning. Looking at the terrified eyes of the soldiers, the hunter pulled the trigger and fired a burst of fire!

After unplugging this point of fire, more clone soldiers launched assaults one after another. After killing several groups of Fourth Civilization soldiers and robots again, they continued to push the front line forward.

The front sight came to the hillside, took out the binoculars and looked ahead, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Hunter, I found something strange in front of me. Several Separatist armored vehicles are retreating there after being injured."

"So it's either a maintenance station or a temporary base," said the technician.

"In that case, let's go!" The hunter immediately made a decision.

"Hunter team! Your mission is to move forward and capture the position in the direction of H-2-1-9!" A voice came from the rear tactical command center.

The hunter immediately turned off the communicator.

[Note 1: I want to emphasize that there are still 3 years before the episode of "Defective Products" at this time, so don't compare them with those 3 years later. Many other things happened in between. 】
