2094. Urban Combat
The SSR was equipped with a sniper module. It hid itself in a pile of rubble. The barrel of the sniper rifle only poked out a little. It did not even leave a peephole for itself. The SSR relied entirely on the sensors of the other T-2s to aim. It switched itself to four-legged mode and stuck the sniper rifle in the slot on its back. In the blink of an eye, it looked like a pile of scrap metal.
Bang! The 12.7mm electromagnetic sniper rifle's muzzle flashed with electricity. The powerful recoil was forcibly resisted by the SSR's own strength. The muzzle did not shake at all! Almost as soon as the gunshot rang out, a cloud of blood burst out of the chest of one of the attacking clone soldiers. Its entire body was sent flying by the powerful impact of the bullet!
Although the Guardian planet initially agreed to abide by the laws of the Galactic Republic and replaced most of its live ammunition weapons with explosive weapons, the sniper rifle, self-propelled artillery, and other weapons still retained their original live ammunition. In fact, after the war, no one cared about such things anymore. Even the Galactic Republic itself had disregarded the Republic's laws and used orbital bombardment on some planets during the later stages of the Clone War.
The clone soldiers reacted very quickly. Almost immediately after the SSR opened fire, they detected the general direction of the SSR through the trajectory of the bullet. One of the heavy turbolaser cannons on the back of an AT-TE turned around and fired at the SSR's direction! Boom! A violent explosion occurred less than 50 meters away from the SSR. The explosion instantly collapsed a part of the building, and the falling rubble and crystals instantly buried the SSR.
However, this level of damage did not affect the robot at all. The SSR quickly moved away the crystals on its body piece by piece. It then moved to the crater created by the explosion, ignoring the temperature of the stones that were burning red. Once again, it shot and killed a clone soldier. After that, it maintained its crawling position and quickly ran away with its four mechanical legs.
On the other side, the Republic's army used the AT-TE walkers as the vanguard, the clone soldiers as the core, and the native Christos troops as the support. They pressed towards Dalsli City. The AV-7 self-propelled artillery in the rear continuously fired to suppress the firepower points in the buildings where the mechanical life army was stationed. In the air, the V-wing fighter jets of the clone army were also exchanging fire with the Vulture fighter jets and Dragon Rider Type IV fighter jets of Planet Guardian. After the Z-95 fighter jets of the local army joined the battle, Planet Guardian's air force, which was already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, was gradually being depleted as they had to take care of the battle in space.
It had to be said that the Republic's offensive was very fierce. With the powerful firepower of the AT-TE Walkers, the -TE could even climb over vertical cliffs. It completely lived up to its name of "All-Terrain Tactical Assault Walkers". In front of the AT-TE Walker, the Horned Dragon Tanks of the Guardian Planet were no match at all. They could not even penetrate their shields and were easily destroyed.
The clone soldiers were indeed very elite. The super strong plastic armor they wore had a very strong immunity against energy beams. Furthermore, it was very light and did not affect their movements. Because their genetic model was that of the galaxy's most famous bounty hunter, Jango Fett, their physical attributes were also top-notch. Although Jango Fett was easily killed by Jane Connor, he was still Jane Connor, one of the strongest in Tang Yu's party. In his previous career as a bounty hunter, Jango Fett would complete any mission he took on no matter how difficult it was. His strength was also acknowledged by everyone.
The clone army attacking Dalsli City was Ella Secura's 327th Corps, with a total of more than 32000. In addition to the native army of more than 50000, they far outnumbered the mechanical life army. This was the drawback of interplanetary warfare. At all times, they had to win with fewer forces.
However, the mechanical life army used their frighteningly efficient combat power and coordination to create enough trouble for the Republic army. They had to pay a heavy price for every step they took.
At the same time that the Republic army launched their attack, the hundred-man team next to the SSR battle zone immediately began to show off their might. The T-2 combat robots equipped with mortar modules and the Black Tortoise self-propelled cannons fired continuously, raining destructive shells on the Republic army's position, forcing them behind cover or into buildings to slow down their advance. The Republic army immediately returned the favor. Their AV-7 self-propelled cannons continued to bombard the area, and they even called for air support!
When the Y-wing bombers descended from the sky, the SSR's anti-air defensive line immediately revealed itself. Two groups of anti-aircraft missiles and ten T-2 combat robots equipped with artillery modules shot down two Y-wing bombers almost immediately! When the Y-wing bombers were forced to change their target to attack the SSR's anti-air position, the energy shields released by the two Iron Curtain modules absorbed most of the firepower. In this wave of attack, another two Y-wing bombers were shot down.
At the same time, the trajectory of the AV-7 self-propelled artillery was also locked onto by the SSR forces. On the other side of the SSR forces, a 100-man squad equipped with assault modules immediately charged towards the artillery. Other than them, there were several other 100-man squads that had also launched a counter-assault. The jet engines on the backs of these assault module T-2 combat robots spat out bright flames, instantly increasing their speed to 150 kilometers per hour as they charged towards the AV-7 self-propelled cannons.
Defending the flank were Kristofsith's native troops. When these poorly equipped and demoralized soldiers saw the ferocious-looking T-2 combat robots, they instantly turned pale with fright. They subconsciously opened fire, but the outdated burst rifles in their hands could not pose much of a threat to the assault module T-2 covered in heavy armor. One shot, two shots, or even broken arms and legs could not stop the counterattack of the mechanical life army!
The counterattack of hundreds of assault module T-2 combat robots actually broke through the defense of tens of thousands of native troops. This forced the commander of the battle, Ayla Secura, to send a portion of the clone troops back to support them. This further slowed down the progress of the frontline.
However, the Republic's advantage in numbers and the power of the all-conquering AT-TEs allowed them to gain the upper hand on the battlefield. The frontline of the Guardian was quickly destroyed by artillery fire and then flattened by the AT-TEs. After that, the SSR began to lead the remaining 50-odd T-2 combat robots to retreat. The other troops in the surrounding areas also diverted a portion of their forces to reinforce the T-2 combat robots to maintain their combat effectiveness. Soon, the number of T-2 combat robots under the SSR's command increased to 70. He immediately led his troops to disperse into a few buildings to set up new defenses.
This time, the SSR combined the combat data from other aspects. Instead of engaging the enemy head-on, they carefully hid in the buildings, relying on the vision shared by the surviving drones and some mechanical lives with better vision to observe the battlefield.
