Chapter 161: "Storm" Run

Not to mention Admiral Goering and Ashley, the father of GMP. For such a small-scale special war, the pre-war plan can only play a certain guiding role, and the real decision of victory or defeat is always on the battlefield ahead. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, in the shadow area on the back of Jijing, the six mobile suits belonging to the "Tempest" were divided into three lines.

The No. 3 and No. 5 planes of the "Storm" that had previously rushed forward were still desperately turning back to catch up because they missed the enemy.

Compared with UAC's fifth-generation MS prototypes, the speed advantage of these two super models is only more than 30%, not to mention that compared with the five exclusive custom models and the new version of the "Reaper", the speed advantage is only between 10% and 20% at most. Considering the time consumption of the two storms to turn around on their own, they will be pulled away by each other for a considerable distance, and it will take at least a minute or two to catch up with the UACs.

Compared to the two "Storms" that were struggling to catch up behind, Haag's "Berserker" was still in the middle of the pack and had already fought with two MS-107 prototype squads.

The UAC quasi-ace who was responsible for intercepting him originally thought that his fifth-generation model would be relatively flat even if its performance was not better than that of the "Berserker", but he did not expect to lose a lot in armor and weapon materials, and in the blink of an eye, five planes had already been knocked down.

In this case, they could not be Haag's opponent with only half of their forces left.

However, these pilots are quasi-aces who have experienced a lot of battles, just like Haag, who has not awakened more than a year ago, and their experience is by no means comparable to that of ordinary pilots. They immediately adjusted their tactics on their own, changing their active attack to harassment warfare. This was done with one purpose, to limit the speed of the Berserker so that it would not be able to return to Storm 1.

Therefore, the real key battlefield is that the No. 1 aircraft was originally in the rear position, but now it has become the center of the vortex that attracts the opponent's firepower, and a total of 16 UAC mobile suits have entered the combat distance.

According to the tactical arrangement of the UAC people in advance, among the 26 mobile suits dispatched from the "Secret of Dijing", two fifth-generation MS prototype teams are used to deal with Haag, while the other two teams each deal with a Super MG, and the rest is that the "Reaper" leads a pure ace pilot team to deal with Fengyu with all his might.

The situation at the moment basically coincided with the original tactical design, and the two unmanned "Storms" were successfully shaken off, and the situation was extremely favorable to the UAC people.

On the other hand, on the Fengyu side, after the previous No. 1 machine crashed a reloaded fifth-generation MS prototype with a combination of overlapping and anticipatory shooting, the 210mm Gauss cannon entered a long 20-second recharge time. During this time, the super mech, without melee weapons, was basically ineffective, and could only rely on the 150mm Gauss cannon on the shoulder for diversionary shooting.

As for the two GMP teenagers, they were ordered to protect the No. 1 machine in close quarters, so naturally they would not be easily separated by the UAC people. In fact, they are helping Fengyu's human personality to stay away from the enemy.

Although the No. 1 machine is more maneuverable than Haag's "Berserker", it does not have any speed advantage compared to the UAC people's replacement exclusive custom model, and it is significantly slower than the new version of the "Reaper". If this super model is allowed to fly on its own power, sooner or later it will be caught up by the "Grim Reaper". And without melee weapons, the end can only be a dead end.

In this case, W4-21 shows the superiority of his high IQ, but he is also the established stream-of-consciousness high-IQ genotype of the GMP project, and there is no reason to be worse than Fengyu in this area. Therefore, the W4-21 came up with a way to help the "Storm 1" increase its speed additionally - external assistance.

The method of external assistance is actually very simple, just like in the old days, when an infantry member was injured on the battlefield and couldn't run fast, his two comrades-in-arms supported him one by one to run together and help him speed up. The W4-21 did just that, and under his guidance, the two MGs each took one shoulder of the No. 1 aircraft and relied on their strong maneuverability to help the super model break through the 400 km/s limit.

At this time, although the absolute speed of the three-machine combination is faster than that of the ace team of the UAC people, it cannot get rid of the opponent, but is still being chased closer and closer.

The reason for this situation is very simple, they were originally in relative motion to enemy aircraft, and if they wanted to get away from each other, they had to turn.

Steering is a process that takes time, unlike people in low-speed motion who only need to stop and turn around, and when moving at high speed, it takes several hours of deceleration to make absolute speed tend to stop. Under normal circumstances, mobile suits use a gentler steering maneuver to avoid serious stalls.

In fact, every U-turn of the mobile suit is a huge semi-circular trajectory. From the starting point of the U-turn to the completion point, the distance is at least 1,000 kilometers, that is, the turning radius is more than 500 kilometers, and the time is not less than two seconds. The specific situation depends on the maneuverability of each model, and there are great differences.

Therefore, in the process of turning, the distance between the two sides will inevitably be further shortened.

Faced with this situation, the advice given by the rational personality is not to make a 180-degree U-turn, but only to make a 90-degree vertical turn. As a result, the UAC people were forced to change direction as well in order to ensure that they could keep up with the No. 1 machine. At the same time, the No. 3 and No. 5 planes, which were chasing behind, had the opportunity to further shorten the distance with this side.

It's a good way to kill two birds with one stone, and it is immediately put into practice by human personality.

With the assistance of two MGs, the No. 1 machine took a second to make a 90-degree turn and began to fly in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of Diyang-Dijing.

Seeing this scene, the UAC people who were fighting at home could only honestly follow the steering and fly side by side with it along a parallel line at a distance of more than a thousand kilometers.

Although the situation of Unit 1 is very dangerous at the moment, it is not hopeless. Just about 6,000 kilometers ahead, there is a line invisible to the naked eye - the boundary between the shadow zone and the light zone, and at the same time the line between darkness and dawn.

The distance between Diyang and Dijing is about one astronomical unit, that is, 150 million kilometers, which is almost an infinite number compared to the diameter of 6,500 kilometers of Dijing. It can be assumed that the stellar light of the Earth Sun in the L2 region is obscured by the Earth Capital in a circle with a radius of more than 6,000 kilometers. As soon as you leave this area, you will return to the embrace of light.

For the pilots of the "Tempest", light is naturally better than darkness, allowing them to fight on a relatively level playing field with the UAC, rather than relying on the divine perspective of Fengyu's rational personality to provide intelligence support. Although this support is not inferior to the UAC people's "compound eye system", it occupies the entire combat power of a personality of Fengyu.

Although this dividing line between light and darkness cannot be judged with the naked eye, a rational personality from God's perspective can clearly use mental power to "see" the photon movement trajectory of the star's light forming a cone-shaped shroud on the periphery of the shadow zone.

As long as the No. 1 machine can enter the bright zone, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the UAC people, and it will make the enemy feel that he has lost a lot of advantages. At this speed, if there is no external interference, it will only take about ten seconds to fly into the bright area.

At this point, it seems that the two sides are engaged in a space race.

The "Storm" No. 3 and No. 5 planes that have fallen behind are stepping up their pursuit, trying to catch up with the first echelon ahead. As the frontrunner, the No. 1 machine has only a slight advantage over the UAC people who are close behind, and it only takes a few tens of seconds to catch up. The UAC Mobile Suit led by the "Reaper" is on the adjacent runway of Aircraft 1, ready to launch a melee attack at any time.

For victory, "Storm" runs!
