Chapter Twenty-Nine: Opening Advantage
Even if the decision to take the initiative to fight a decisive battle is still not an easy task for the young "pirate" fleet. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Awakened pilots are stronger than ordinary pilots, especially those with mental interference abilities. But only if it's one-on-one.
And the "Corsair" fleet is about to face an opponent with double the strength, double the battleship, double the mobile suit, and maybe even double the ace pilot!
Being able to arrange a retired ace pilot in the M8-type star field like NF-01, which can be called a barren land, Fengyu believes that the NO fleet in front of him must have one ace, and it is more likely to be two. With NO's understanding of Fengyu and the experience of the two sides, the chance that he will encounter two ace pilots to besiege him is as high as more than ninety percent.
It's also a challenge for him, and it's an unavoidable challenge. Behind the "pirate" fleet is the new headquarters of Awa-ker, which cannot stop the enemy in front of him, and the organization is bound to suffer a devastating blow. This time it is no better than on Earth, without the intervention of other countries, no can go all out to completely exterminate the Awa-ker headquarters.
So in April of SC0105, the fifth month after the construction of the "pirate" fleet, the first hard battle was fought in the separation zone between the Earth Federation of the New African Galaxy and the new European Union.
The battle took place in an unnamed star field, just 11.6 light-years away from Phi-Wh and 18.3 light-years away from Awa-Ker's new headquarters. The stars of this field are K-type, that is, the kind that is neither mineral nor inhabitable, and it is not yet in the main channel, and there will not be a single spaceship passing by for hundreds of years. Even if both sides blow up all the planets in this star field, no one from the Earth Federation and the new European Union on both sides of the separation zone will come to take a look.
The number of warships dispatched by the two sides reached 36, and this was because Chairman Edward was worried that the "pirate" fleet was insufficient, so he temporarily transferred 5 nearby escort fleets to reinforce it, and let all the awakened pilots who stayed at the headquarters dispatch, which was barely close to the comparison of forces between the two sides.
But in terms of ace pilots, Edward has more than enough strength and can only rely on Fengyu alone to resist the two ace pilots who will almost inevitably appear on the other side.
If Feng Yu hadn't just mastered the use of the awakening ability of "Weakness Guidance", and was expected to attack and quickly defeat one of the trump cards, he really wouldn't have much confidence to face two opponents of the same level at the same time.
With the current strength of the emotional personality, although the defensive level has exceeded the average level of the ace pilot, it can be regarded as an upper-middle level. But the battle cannot be won by defense alone, and the offensive is always an indispensable link. No matter how strong the defensive ability is, as long as he can't put pressure on the opponent through attack, then he will never win. It is said that offense is the best defense, and it is closer to victory than to be pressed and beaten than to be pressed. The best defensive strategy is to be able to maintain uninterrupted pressure on the opponent, disrupt the rhythm of attack and defense, and make the opponent unable to attack with his free hand.
The emotional personality is still just beginning on the road of technical flow, and only when he goes one step further and reaches the level of technical flow aces at both offensive and defensive ends can he face two retired aces without losing.
And now he can only rely on his own ability as an awakened person to find that chance of victory through tricks. The so-called often standing by the river does not have wet shoes, and the means of getting involved in winning are used too much, not to mention whether it will miss accidentally, and it is easy for the opponent to find out his details.
In this era, one trick may not be able to eat all over the world, at most before everyone gets used to the style, it will be a while away. For example, the ace "Upside Down" of the UAC New African System Front is a typical example, and he was eventually killed by Fengyu.
Feng Yu doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of the "Upside Down", so he can only work hard to improve his emotional personality fighting skills to make himself more well-rounded and powerful enough to truly dominate the battlefield. Perhaps the road is never-ending, and while he is growing, other ace pilots are not standing still. Coupled with the ever-changing upgrades of Mobile Suits, this is no longer a matter of advancing or retreating, but not advancing or dying!
Sitting in the cockpit of Mobile Suit WS, Fengyu did not watch the battle from the flagship bridge this time, but will be the first to enter the battlefield battle. He must hurry up and try to defeat the opponent's ace pilots.
The "Tropical Hyper" has entered a state of optical stealth and is lurking on the edge of the battlefield. As long as he captures the figure of any ace pilot, Luo Yunxi will drive a high-speed ship to send Fengyu directly to the opponent, trying to catch him off guard.
If Fengyu can take out one of the two aces before the opponent's two aces converge, then the "pirate" fleet will have a big chance of winning this battle.
It's a pity that NO's understanding of Fengyu is not limited to him personally, and even the elusive "Tropical High Pressure" is also the focus of attention. At the time of WG1, the 9th Fleet of the UAC New African Galaxy Front had personally experienced the difficulty of the "Tropical High Pressure", and naturally shared this information with NO.
So even if I didn't see Fengyu appear today, the two NO ace pilots who had come to the battlefield early had never been separated, and they had always maintained a distance from each other to support each other.
Fengyu killed the three ace pilots of NO in a row in "Edge of the World", WG1 and NF-01, and the psychological pressure brought to these two retired aces should not be underestimated. Let them not dare to act rashly when they can't determine the location of Fengyu, for fear of falling into his way when they rush to kill.
Invisibly, Fengyu just relied on his own reputation to complete the containment of the two pilots. Although the other side did not leave him much chance, being able to do this at the beginning of the war was good news for the "pirate" fleet.
Although the number of Awakened pilots is slightly less than that of ordinary pilots in NO, they undoubtedly have a huge advantage in personal ability. As long as NO's two aces don't make a move, they really have a big advantage.
Several ace pilots were still watching, and between the two fleets, hundreds of mobile suits were already lined up, facing each other, and sparks would spark at any moment. The reason why they haven't made a move yet is that they are waiting for the fleet commanders of both sides to issue offensive orders.
The stalemate lasted only a few tens of seconds, and in the end, it was the commander of the NO fleet who couldn't hold his breath first and ordered all of them to open fire. After all, he was on the passive side, and the battle was started on the initiative of the "pirate" fleet. In the absence of a clear understanding of the details of the "pirate" fleet, he had to strike first.
As the commander of the "pirate" fleet, Groningen deserves the adjective of cunning. He just wants to use the stalemate to make the opponent feel anxious, so that the opponent can't hold his breath and strike first, so that the NO fleet has a sense of frustration at the beginning of the war.
It has to be said that his heart-attacking tactics were effective, and NO's first round of attacks looked a little scattered. The scattered fire is like a pebble thrown into the water, causing a ripple and then disappearing.
In the face of the immovable "pirate" fleet, NO's battleships lacked a prominent target, and the fleet commander did not give clear instructions, so each battleship could only find its own target in a hurry to fire, and even a few battleships fired at the Awakened Pilot array.
On the other hand, on the Groningen side, through the first round of artillery fire from the other side, it has basically locked the location of the flagship among the three capital ships. In fact, this matter is quite simple, when the flagship does not indicate the specific target of attack, the capital ship with the most purpose in the first shelling is basically the flagship. Although the other two capital ships were identical in appearance, the blindness shown during the shelling undoubtedly revealed to the opponent the difference in the captain's command ability.
So he decisively ordered all the warships to aim at the opposing flagship.
Of course, the opponent's flagship is not dead, so naturally it will not stop in place and wait stupidly when all the opponent's warships turn their main guns to themselves, and immediately make evasive actions and avoid most of the artillery fire.
Even so, the main guns of the "Pirate" fleet were not concentrated in one point, but scattered in an area to ensure that no matter how the opponent dodged, at least two or three main guns would hit the target.
The strength of the R-particle shield of the flagship of the NO fleet was immediately knocked off a large margin, and it had to retreat to the rear of the fleet to let the other warships protect themselves.
At the same time, mobile armies on both sides also began a long-range exchange of fire. With the interference of the Awakening ability, the Awakened Pilot successfully formed a suppression of the NO maneuver array, and almost every second he would get one or two drops.
In the case that the opponent's ranged mobile suit is interfered with by the "Flash" ability, all kinetic weapons are missed, and the particle beam weapon is blocked by the R particle shield. The Awoken Pilot has not suffered any casualties so far, and only some of the Mobile Suits' R-particle shield strength has been knocked out somewhat.
The smaller "pirate" fleet unexpectedly gained a clear opening advantage.
