Chapter 34: The Dilemma
While the Storm 3 and Zeus briefly confronted each other, the battle in space heated up. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info one MG squad after another ejected from various battleships and troop carriers, and soon filled the airspace.
The Furs team was clearly only a little short of reaching the last battleship detachment of the Kimek escort, but they were blocked by the three MG teams that suddenly ejected out.
Compared to dodging shells, which can be completed as long as there is enough mobility and operational ability, the actual combat with mobile suits is a tough battle.
Foers is quite confident, although his car is the same MG series as the enemy, but the MG-Wisdom is a castrated version of the super model, and the other party is just a MG prototype and a mass production model, and there is still a gap in performance.
He is still worried about the three GMP teenagers, led by W4-21. In a sense, this is their first battle.
Ten hours earlier, when the Tempest had arrived at L4, it had had had a brief exchange of fire with the Kimek convoy. At that time, the GMP team was still a full five-man team, and one of the first GMP people was sacrificed in the crossfire of the battleship. In the ensuing battle, they were assigned to protect the "Storm" 4 aircraft, and did not really engage in the melee of the mobile war group. At that time, the real melee workhorses were Unit 3 and Haag's "Berserker".
But now it's different, in the face of more and more MG in this airspace, there are only four people left in the Fols team must be fully engaged in this big battle, which is a huge test for the three generations of GMP teenagers who lack actual combat experience.
If they survive this battle, they will grow up quickly and have a higher chance of surviving on the battlefield in future battles. On the other hand, if you are knocked down, you will come to the end of the short life of a gmp person in advance.
There wasn't much help that Fols could offer them, so he could only try to be as central as possible and cover for the three teenagers. But in the face of a huge number of enemy planes, in the end, they still have to rely on themselves to fight a way to survive.
Putting aside the Fols team, which has been reduced to a supporting role in this airspace, on the side of the "Storm" No. 4 plane, the two Devil-class troop carriers have a higher ejection efficiency, and they keep catapulting MG like dumplings, and in less than a minute, a whole squadron was released.
And this is only a prologue to the great war.
Excluding the MG squadron that was blocked by the rational personality in Fangjing and eliminated with a nuclear explosion, and the nearly one MG squadron on the Devil-class troop carrier that was sunk by the electromagnetic railgun he induced, at least three more MG squadrons are expected to appear in this airspace.
Three MG squadrons are not much, the last time they came to the M320 star field to fight, Fengyu used to deal with more MGs with fewer mobile suits. It's just that this time facing the 2.0 version of the Kimek Escort, it feels more difficult than the last time.
The first is that the "Tempest" was threatened by the electron cannon and could not join the battle. Arthur, the chief fire controller of this battleship, was enough to deal with an entire MG squadron alone, and his combat effectiveness was simply stronger than Fengyu. Then there is the second-generation R particle shield equipped by the Kimek Escort, which effectively blocks the attack of the ship slasher, so that the threat of Fengyu to the battleship is reduced by at least half.
In this case, Fengyu's goal is not to personally knock down all MGs, but to deprive the Kimek Escort of the ability to travel long distances. Simply put, the main goal is to destroy the engine vents of enemy ships. That's more troublesome.
Don't look at the ship slashing is more deterrent, but using the ship slasher against the ship is actually not a very difficult thing, and it can be done for most ace pilots. On the contrary, it is more difficult and dangerous to carry out precision strikes with long-range weapons on engine nozzles in the case of interference from enemy aircraft.
I remember that in June of SC0108, when Fengyu transferred to the "Hurricane" to return to the New African Galaxy ahead of schedule, he was intercepted by the Taimei WH Combined Fleet, and the "Hurricane" used the engine tail flame to kill a Super MG piloted by three generations of GMP people.
Therefore, if you want to attack the engine vent of the battleship, you can only attack from the side, and the angle is also particular, if the shooting angle is too positive, the metal projectile will fly in the tail flame for too long, and it is very likely that it will be completely burned and will not pose a threat to the target. The best results can only be achieved by firing close to the stern at a small angle, allowing the metal projectile to pass through the tail flame and hit the engine vent in the shortest possible time.
All in all, even if Fengyu is a super ace, it is very difficult to find a good firing angle to aim at the engine nozzles of the two Devil-class troop carriers when facing a MG squadron with super high mobility.
Until a suitable opportunity for an attack is found, the rational personality can only cruise around the perimeter, destroying as many MGs as possible with four Gauss cannons on the shoulder. However, his combat efficiency is not as fast as that of the Devil-class troop carrier that catapults MG outward, and the number of enemy aircraft in this airspace is constantly increasing.
Within two minutes, all three MG squadrons were ejected. Some of these MGs then surrounded the four-man GMP team led by Falls, some of them stood in front of the remaining two Devil-class troop carriers, and some of them took the initiative to meet the "Storm" 4, which had no melee weapons.
In recent months, the fleet, which has undergone the Kimec 2.0 White Paper, has been able to arrange targeted intensive training, although it has not been able to remodel the MG series of mobile suits. The main purpose is to train GMP people's cooperative combat ability, especially for the "Storm" and "Storm" related tactical training, so that they can face a top opponent like Fengyu again, a complete and reasonable way to deal with it, instead of simply relying on the advantage of physical fitness to fight.
This kind of targeted training seems to be very effective at this point, and although losses are just as inevitable as eight months ago, the GMP personnel are more cohesive and more efficient in executing the established tactical intentions.
Originally, the rational personality was expecting to use Haag's "Berserker" as a close cover for himself, but the GMP people quickly succeeded in separating the two of them and forcing them to fight separately.
Now the rational personality is a bit troublesome, the "Storm" 4 has neither speed advantage nor melee weapons, and it is simply not able to use kite flying tactics like a real long-range mobile suit.
Even with all their might, a rational personality cannot get rid of these MGs. Over time, before you know it, the No. 4 machine has fallen into the encirclement of MG.
He must find a way to break the current predicament, otherwise he can only be beaten passively.
