Chapter 13: The Kuiper Belt
The W1 Kuiper Belt, the edge of the star field that used to be deserted, is now under fire. Behind the MGAS-01 www.biquge.info twelve UAC warships constantly change formations to dodge dense meteorites and asteroids. If it weren't for so many obstacles, the night-star destroyer would have been unable to support it. Even so, the strength of the ship's R-particle shield has remained low at 30%.
Zhu Nan showed his amazing talent for commanding warships, repeatedly using the planet's gravity to accelerate the change of direction, and gradually got rid of most of the slower ships of the UAC fleet, including the two capital ships, and finally chased behind the MGAS-01 ship with only four UAC-class coma-class high-mobility destroyers whose speed was no less than that of the night star.
The four comet-class destroyers in pursuit did not pursue the accuracy of the shelling, but drove Zhu Nan to move to the inner side of the star field to prevent the MGAS-01 ship from escaping to the periphery. As a result, the 01 ship of the New Asian Mobile Force has not been able to get out of the crisis.
The chase had lasted more than two hours, but Zhu Nan knew that he couldn't get rid of his opponent completely. The W1 star field is the home of UAC, and the opponent knows this starry sky far better than himself. He could even guess that the ships that had been thrown off had left the Kuiper Belt by this time, entered clean airspace and flew curvature, and then made a detour to intercept the MGAS-01.
He knew that the only way to escape was to fight the four pursuing warships behind him and return to the main channel. One against four is an imaginative plan, the battleship's main gun bombardment is basically not fancy, it is difficult to become a chance to turn the tables, the success rate may be less than 10 percent, the key lies in the play of the mobile team. And what Zhu Nan is doing now is actually fighting for more rest time for Fengyu and them.
Fengyu's Maii had consumed all of the pulse excitation in the previous battle, and it would take a full two hours of recharge to recover two chances. Moreover, his weapons also need to be replaced, and his external armor also needs to be repaired, and the rearmament soldiers are busy with this at this time. The rest of the Mobile Suits were also somewhat slightly damaged and needed to be commissioned. The pilots also went into forced sleep to regain their energy.
Three hours after entering the Kuiper belt, after Zhu Nan's calculations, if the UFAC battleship that had been thrown off detoured to the front to intercept it, it would appear in about half an hour. The MGAS-01 ship can no longer move forward, and it is time to turn back and fight.
There is a dwarf planet about 20,000 kilometers ahead, and that is the best place to fight!
Feng Yu was awakened from his sleep, hurriedly ate some high-energy food to replenish his physical strength, and came to the battleship's maintenance cabin. His maii had already been replaced with a spare alloy saber and particle beam rifle, and the damaged armor skin had been replaced one by one, but it was too late to paint, as if he was wearing a patched coat, which was slightly comical. Of course, it doesn't matter, it just works.
"Mobile squad level 1 combat readiness, please all pilots in position, ejection in thirty seconds!" Major Catherine's slightly tired voice was heard on the radio in the maintenance cabin, and she had not rested for a long time.
Thirty seconds passed quickly, and when the MGA01 team was ejected, they were on the far side of the dwarf planet, with the pursuing UAC ships in sight. The MGAS-01 ship has a full left rudder, ready to circle the dwarf planet and then go to the side of the opponent for a surprise attack.
Of course, this is not a raid. They had also passed through several dwarf planets before, and the UAC would always send two comet-class destroyers to wrap around from the left side of the dwarf planets, just to avoid the MGAS-01 ship turning around.
The enemy is not stupid.
But it is precisely because of this that Zhu Nan is able to win a one-on-two opportunity for his warship, and at the same time hand over the other two enemy ships to the mobile team to deal with.
There is a lot of pressure on both sides.
After leaving the battleship, Fengyu has two options, one is to enter the thin atmosphere of the dwarf planet, rely on the planet's surface to fight, and improve the survivability of the mobile team.
But the biggest disadvantage of this option is that due to the gravitational pull of the planet, the speed of the mobile suit will drop dramatically. If the other side responds to the changes and only sends mobile suits to blockade in space, and the two destroyers go around the dwarf planet to encircle the MGAS-01 ship, the consequences will be very serious. Without the battleship, even if the MGA01 team is intact, they will be trapped in the Kuiper belt, and even if the other party leaves it alone, they will starve to death here.
So Feng Yu did not hesitate to give up this idea and chose the second way of combat - frontal advance!
Defending two ships head-on, they would have to face a double turret fire matrix and two UAC mobile squads. The difficulty is not ordinary, but Fengyu has no choice.
"All ready! Ten seconds countdown! ”
According to data provided by the MGAS-01 ship, in ten seconds, two comet-class destroyers will circle the dwarf planet and appear in view. That's when the Mobile Squad raids.
“3!”
“2!”
“1!”
"Up!"
Following Fengyu's command, the MGA01 team rushed towards the first enemy ship that had just emerged with a kind of indomitable determination.
The relative speed of 220 km/s between the two sides eliminated the distance between them in an instant, and the mobile team rushed into the opposing R-particle shield, the turret of the comet-class destroyer was not yet raised.
"Good opportunity! Concentrate on the opponent's main artillery! "As long as the opponent's main guns are eliminated, the threat of this battleship to the MGAS-01 is minimized.
The battleship chased after it for more than three hours, and had never seen the MGAS-01 ship turn back and counterattack, thinking that this pursuit would continue like this, and even the pilots of the mobile squad had been released from the first level of combat readiness, and at this time they were naturally caught off guard and were hit continuously by three 120mm Gauss guns.
Rumble!
The main gun is blown up!
Yes, during the pursuit, the only thing that the comet-class destroyer did not have idle was the main gun of the battleship, which continued to charge and shoot almost all the time, and at this time the main gun was also in a state of full energy, and when it was hit by three Gauss guns, it naturally had to explode.
The high-energy particles that have lost their restraint escape in all directions, releasing energy and violently clashing with the r-particles of the shield. The bow of the comet-class destroyer instantly melted like a candle that had been burning for a while. Fortunately, there were protective devices inside the battleship, so it did not affect the bridge and the main engine room, otherwise the bombing could directly sink the ship.
If it is a one-on-one battle, the most important thing for the MGA01 team to do at this time is to take advantage of the victory to pursue, break through the molten bow of the ship, destroy the opponent's main engine room and bridge, and completely paralyze the comet-star. But now that time is of the essence, Fengyu had to give up the tempting number of hits in front of him and lead the team to rush to the second UAC battleship.
With the experience of the past, the second comet-level ship fired its main cannon into the air before the MGA01 team approached, preferring to waste energy rather than let the other party have a chance.
"Take advantage of the fact that the opponent's mobile team has not come out and destroy the main artillery!" Fengyu eats the marrow and knows the taste. Although the uncharged main gun is a little more difficult to fight, it is a toothless tiger if it is defeated.
