Chapter 119: The Storm Crisis
From the beginning of the war, when Forth was just shot down, the remaining three MGs belonging to the "Tempest" began to retreat, and the Taimei WH Combined Fleet began to press on it in a big way, bypassing the battlefield of the "Ocean" and Fengyu to outflank the "Tempest".

A few minutes passed, and when the mobile suits of the two sides were at a stalemate again, the encirclement of the Combined Fleet was gradually forming. In addition to leaving ten warships to guard the entrance to the fixed wormhole, the remaining hundreds of warships and auxiliary ships of the Combined Fleet are weaving a cage in space.
It's just that the degree of unobstructed space freedom is too high, and these warships alone are not enough to form a tight encirclement network, so the combined fleet must rely on space mines to block the sparse mesh of the encirclement network.
More than 10 minelayers were working in different directions at the same time, and tens of millions of space mines were sprayed out, quickly filling one gap after another.
The "Storm" was unable to stay away from the front line of the battle, and could only move within a certain range, even if he knew the opponent's tactics, Luo Yunxi could only watch the opponent improve the encirclement little by little. All she could do was keep moving along the perimeter of the encirclement, and rely on Arthur's side turret to explode some space mines and slow down the final closing of the encirclement.
During this period, the combined fleet's defense warships also tried to use the battleship's main guns to attack the "Storm", but they could not accurately grasp the position of this stealth battleship in the shadow area, and most of them missed, and occasionally hit a shot, but they were also blocked by the R-particle shield, and the consumption of the shield's energy strength was not as fast as its recovery.
This strengthened Admiral Alexander's determination to trap the battleship to death, and then slowly narrow the encirclement, and use dense firepower to carry out a covering strike, and finally it will definitely be able to sink it.
If that's all there is to it, then the Storm will have some time for the time being. But the problem is that the protagonist of the battlefield in this era is no longer a battleship, but a mobile suit. At this time, there were only three third-generation GMP teenagers guarding the "Tempest", and their opponents were the blue, green, and red Super MGs that appeared at the beginning.
Compared with the three GMP youths who have been fostered in a military family since childhood, the three teenagers led by W4-21 are "test subjects" who grew up in the laboratory, and they are inferior to each other in terms of actual combat experience and tactical literacy, even if they have been around Fengyu for a few months, their strength is still slightly inferior to their opponents. If it weren't for Arthur's artillery cover, I am afraid that we would have been defeated by this time.
But with the addition of the Combined Fleet, more MS prototypes and production MSs have appeared in the airspace. The balance has been upset, and the living space of the "Tempest" is beginning to be compressed.
While Arthur, the Tempest's chief fire controller, has the ability to "bloom" and is very good for cleaning up these small trash fish, even the would-be ace piloting the MS prototype will capsize in the gutter if he is not careful. But there are two sides to everything, and every time the "Tempest" uses the side turret, it is actually revealing its true position in a different direction. Under the watchful eye of many warships of the Combined Fleet, each shot would attract a burst of main gun covered fire.
There is a lesson to be learned, just now the "Tempest" used the side turret to carry out minesweeping several times, and as a result, it was finally caught by the combined fleet. Admiral Alexander ordered all warships to store energy for their main guns, aim at the shadow area, and wait until the "Tempest" fires at the minefield, so that they can calculate the relatively accurate position, and then each ship fine-tunes the guns and fires at the same time, and the hit rate suddenly increases a lot.
At least ten or more guns were aimed at the destroyer, and if it weren't for Dennis, the chief pilot of the Tempest, who decisively launched the "Acceleration" ability and avoided most of the artillery fire, this round of concentrated fire almost sank the "Tempest". In the end, Fengyu's ship was hit by four shots, and the R-particle shield was nearly penetrated.
With such a lesson, Luo Yunxi naturally could no longer joke about the safety of the "Tempest", and decisively gave up the minesweeping and artillery bombardment, which was already ineffective. You must know that a minelayer can eject millions of space mines in one minute, while the side turret of the "Tempest" can only be cleared with about 50 turrets on one side, even if the hit rate can reach 100 percent, and a round of shelling every two seconds is 1,500 rounds in one minute, and even a fraction of the minelayer cannot be reached. Even if Arthur was exhausted to death, it would be impossible to carve a safe passage through the minefield.
After Arthur was unable to fire, the Storm lost its threat to MS and was reduced to a protected person.
But to count on three teenagers who have accumulated less than 10 hours of actual combat experience to protect the "Storm", Luo Yunxi might as well count on himself. As a result, the situation took a turn for the worse, and even if the "Tempest" could rely on optical stealth to protect itself to a limited extent, the three-person team led by W4-21 would not be able to hold out for long, and in the blink of an eye, they were already in danger.
The production MS of the Taimei WH Combined Fleet is not as maneuverable as the Super MG of the six GMPs, and rushing into close combat will not only not help, but will become a burden. So the MS pilots honestly lined up on the periphery, using particle beam rifles to conduct long-range fire, and cooperated with their own blue, green, and red Super MGs.
This kind of tactical coordination has brought tremendous pressure to the W4-21 trio, and the nerves are tense, and the slightest mistake will be doomed. Although these young gmp people are not of much help to Fengyu, after all, they are the fighters he brought out, and they are the comrades who entrust their lives to him. With Fengyu's character, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely want to save the lives of these teenagers.
It's just that Fengyu is currently anxious about the dual-range tactics of the "Ocean", and he has no time to take care of the rear. However, Luo Yunxi is very aware of her new husband's temper, and if she hides the battle situation in the rear from him, resulting in the death of three gmp teenagers, Fengyu will definitely blame herself very much.
So she decisively connected her mental power to the "Storm" No. 4 machine, "We can't drag it out any longer, it's time to act, otherwise those children will be in danger." ”
After being reminded by Luo Yunxi, the rational personality finally noticed that the situation in the rear had reached an extremely dangerous situation. Although he didn't have a deep relationship with the three GMP teenagers, to put it mildly, losing them was certainly not as sad as losing Furs. But from a rational point of view, the three MGs are a barrier to the "Tempest", and without them, the three GMP people of the UAC would directly threaten the safety of the "Tempest".
Neither public nor private, nor rational personality, could sit idly by and watch them fall into the hands of the Combined Fleet.
"Understood, the time has come to work hard, and now to start implementing Plan B." He responded immediately, and at the same time consciously greeted the sensual personality.
So I saw that the No. 4 machine suddenly activated the pulse excitation and flew in the direction where Haag's "Berserker" was, instantly throwing off the three MGs besieging him for a distance. Don't look at the fact that he can get rid of his opponent so easily at this moment, in fact, because the position of the No. 4 machine is higher than that of the "Berserker", closer to the "ocean". So the three UAC aces were mainly wary of him continuing to move forward and approaching the "ocean", and did not guard against him moving to the side and rear.
With the sudden movement of the No. 4 machine, the battlefield ahead finally became uncertain. If the rational personality can approach Haag smoothly, with the siege of the four-armed storm and the "berserker", it will be relatively easy to take out an enemy plane in seconds. If they succeed, the melee side will become two against three, and with the three aces of the combined fleet, they really can't beat the combination of Fengyu and Haag.
In this case, "Ocean" is forced to make a change, and he must allocate a part of his long-range firepower to pin down Unit 4 and prevent him from getting close to the "Berserker". But from which side to divide part of the firepower against the four-armed "Storm" is a big question.
If you use a 60mm rapid-fire particle beam sniper rifle to intercept it, you will lose the crossfire suppression of the No. 3 machine. It is far more dangerous to bring this ultra-high-powered "Storm" close to you than to let the four-armed "Storm" close to the "Berserker". So the "ocean" can only divide a part of its firepower from Haag's side to target the rational personality.
