according to the boxart.

The game objective is straightforward in all six stages. You start

vehicle. When the boss is destroyed you’ll dock back at the
aircraft carrier and proceed to the next stage.

Bullets. But when you acquire powerups you can get a number of
different firepower upgrades.

lose those bonus points if your chopper gets hit after collecting

Starting at sea starting firing at the blue choppers heading for
you. When you reach the coast shoot the green chinook for a
powerup. After a few more choppers comes another chinook. Then
comes your first dark yellow tank followed by a red battery on a
building. Remember that those red batteries are worth shooting for
P-Stars (And occasionally extra bombs).
After some more choppers comes the third chinook and in comes
additional choppers and tanks. Best to shoot the tanks first, as
they shoot more frequently than choppers. At a building ahead of
you awaits another chinook. You’ll face more tanks and choppers on
either side, then another chinook.
When you reach a road with holes, there will be more choppers,
tanks and a chinook. Shooting the right section of the road will
reveal a P-Star. Continue shooting tanks and choppers and find a
chinook by some buildings and a courtyard. Past more tanks and
choppers is another chinook and even more tanks and choppers to
follow.
At the last road is a sandy area with a red battery. Choppers,
tanks and two chinooks are ahead. When you reach the airfield
choppers will swarm, while tanks get scarce. Shoot the center of
the two lowest squares of the airfield for an extra bomb and P-
Star. Don’t miss the red battery to the right.
Fighting on further through the airfield, choppers will come at you
left and right. Keep an eye out for another red battery to the
right. Finally you will face a Big Green Tank. Position yourself
centrally in front of it, so you can shoot it without getting hit.

followed by a couple of AA Hatches.
Choppers approach at the next river crossing plus a chinook. You

batteries by a grey building. Fight some more choppers, a few more
AA Hatches and get two red batteries to the right.

BOSS: Twin Bases 50000 each
Fight Blue choppers and a chinook to start with. Another chinook
follows along with a multitude of choppers. Dark Yellow Tanks join
the massive chopper fleet on land. Hit the first wooden roof to the
right and some grey roofed buildings to the left for P-Stars. There
is also a chinook next to a few choppers and tanks.
Find more items in the wooden roofs in the middle as you shoot
additional choppers. Fight even more choppers as you reach the
rocky lands and don’t forget to shoot the central riveted grey roof
for a P-Star.
Pick off scattered tanks and choppers, while shooting the grey
buildings to the right (with a possible silver P-Star in one of
them) until you reach the industrial areas with Large Green tanks
and P-Stars to be found in white roofs of the middle buildings.
Choppers join the fight. Shoot the miniature grey building in the
center for one more P-Star.
After another round of fighting choppers, you’ve reached a gigantic
purple platform. Be ready for the Gun Hatches and Turrets. And of
course you must take care of the final boss, the Twin Bases. They
each fire a stream of three bullets in front and a rotating turret.
You can fire repeatedly at them as you speed across once they have
fired their front fire. At this point you may wish to exhaust your
bombs to wear them down. When you’ve destroyed one base, the other
shouldn’t be a problem. And that’s it, you’ve won the game and
completed all ten stages.
