Chapter 92
"After watching the play for so long, it's time for the curtain to end, Commander-in-Chief Gilian."
"Indeed, it's time for the Zabi family to come to an end." Rybil looked at the huge space carrier on the starboard side, the Doroth. "Are you sure the ship is the flagship?"
"There is directly the identification code of Commander-in-Chief Gilian~"
"That's good, Captain Bryde."
"Full cannon salvo!"
24 beams flew towards Doros, although the escort MS and MA desperately blocked 3 beams, but the remaining 21 beams smashed squarely on Doros's hull.
"Amuro...... Forget it......" Ian saw that Doroth's bridge turned out to be an escape pod, and wanted the mules to snatch the escape pod. But as soon as the communication was connected, it was found that the mule and the drivers were all panting like dead dogs. "General Rebil, it's impossible to take prisoners, retreat?"
"Well, retreat." Rybir took a deep look at the Doroth Bridge, which had been transferred to the Gvarkin-class next door. "I'll see you again in two days anyway."
"Got it, Lieutenant Colonel Ian, can the jump engine still work?"
"Don't make a fuss, it's good to gamble on your life once a day, just sail back at full speed, the main fleet is coming up."
"Got it, 95 degrees on the left rudder and 30 degrees on the lower rudder, evacuate back to the Federation from below the enemy formation."
"Captain, GN Field is restored."
"Concentrated deployment in the rear, full speed on both sides."
The Dawn Sword quickly turned away, and an emerald green gn stance spread out in the stern direction, and Zeon's Mtsai-class used a bright green Mega particle beam to "see the Dawn Sword" off.
"Ian-san...... This NTD system, the sequelae...... Is it so serious? β
"You're playing too high, aren't you...... With that level of maneuvering, even if there is an inertial control system in the cockpit, it can't withstand it for three minutes in a row. That kind of maneuver, the average MS driver will be physically exhausted after doing two or three. β
ββ¦β¦ Also...... Also. The mule still didn't even breathe.
"There's sedatives and emergency nutrients in the driver's suit, you give yourself a shot first, you look like you're going to be dehydrated." Ian looked up at the Zeon Avant-garde fleet diagonally behind. "Just go back to ...... Is Zeon crazy? Bled, GN Field is the largest, the shelling is coming! β
"We don't ...... shelled all the time"
"It's the Zeon Avant-garde fleet, they've changed direction!" The lower part of the Msai class is a dead end of fire, and if you want to attack the enemy under the hull, you can only turn the hull to create a firing angle for the main gun.
ββ¦β¦ Is Zeon crazy? The Federation's main fleet is coming up soon. Mi Laijun, overloaded engine, deputy chief position is the largest. β
The corners of Ian's mouth twitched when he saw that the Tail Flame suddenly lit up three more copies of the Dawn Holy Sword. "If I had known, I wouldn't have told them that the engine would have been overloaded...... This thing is not an afterburner, and the engine will explode if you use it too much. β
Observing the situation of Zeon's fleet from the command podium, Reybiel frowned and realized that the situation was not simple.
"Not to mention the pursuing forces in the rear, less than a third of the avant-garde fleet has turned the sight into us, and according to the board number, they are all ships of the Kilian Guard."
"Could it be that Kilian is dead?"
"The bridge is flying, can the commander not be in the bridge?"
"You're not going to let people go to the toilet?"
"yes......"
ββ¦β¦β
In the CIC of the Dawn Holy Sword, everyone gossiped for a while.
ββ¦β¦ Shut up, the shelling is coming! Brad listened to the commotion in the CIC and his head grew for a while.
"Ah, yes!" The crowd sat precariously and waited for the onslaught.
"Do you see those boats with large sections? Concentrate artillery fire on those ships, prioritizing the retreat of the Dawn Sword. The main gun charge begins, don't pay attention to the salvo, and the ships fire freely. "Vice Admiral Claude, Admiral of the Fourth Fleet, pointed to the dozens of Msey-class ships bowing down." General Rebier, what did they do? Can drive Zeon's group crazy. β
"Understand, the ships are free to fire, and priority is given to the Dawn Sacred Sword."
"It's confirmed, Kilian is dead." Rybil put away a secret communicator.
"Huh?" Brad looked back at the old wandering General Rybier with a bewildered expression.
"There are Federation spies on the bridge of the Doroth."
ββ¦β¦ ......"Brad doesn't want to complain about the fact that the spy can touch the bridge of the enemy's flagship, isn't this equivalent to having a spy in the High Command, and he can also pass on the information, will he be able to assassinate the enemy commander directly next time......
"Kissilia and Dozru, by order of the Duke of Deakin. Deakin wanted to trade his own and Kilian's lives for the lives of the Dozrus, and Admiral Bill agreed. β
"Why, Zabi's ......"
"Because Dozru has avoided all the major battles...... Rebiel cried as he looked at the information from Begabro. In this war, in all the battles in which Dozru participated, Dozru was either seriously injured at the beginning or the flagship was sunk, or the flagship was seriously injured after being sunk, and the subsequent battles were all commanded by Kisilia or Kilian. Even in this battle, the third Mse sunk by the ship was the Valkyrie 3, the flagship of Dozru, and he himself was seriously injured again and fell into a coma. β
"Then Kissilia ......"
"Resigned to fate, this battle is bounded by the full occupation of the Duchy Zeon by Casbar's lunar fleet, if Kissilia lives, then let her live, and if she dies, she will die."
"The First Fleet picks up the enemy!"
Hundreds of pink beams streaked over the Dawn Sword, the guns of the 10 remaining Enterprise-class battleships of the First Fleet of the Federation Army.
Mse, who belonged to the Kilian Guard, which had a large bomb area, was sunk in this round of shelling.
"The fleet advances, the automatic turrets, the MS team, the MA team enter combat operations as planned." Vice Admiral Mark Bay, who was in charge of the avant-garde fleet, sat in his Zeon Army replica Magellan. "How long is it until the effective range of the battleship?"
"45 seconds."
"Why doesn't the hull move?" Mug looked at the captain with a frown.
"The wreckage of friendly warships is in front of you, waiting for them to pass ......"
"Let the mad dogs of the Kilian Guards get out of here, and go after the ship! Get out of the way! Macbe waved impatiently.
As soon as the captain's question was issued, the gun of the Msei in front of him pointed at Mark Bay's ship.
ββ¦β¦β
"Commander...... The other party ......"
"Sink him."
"Commander!"
"A mad dog that can't even protect his own master, keep it to bite himself! Let the guards get out of the way, and if you don't leave, you'll die here. β
ββ¦β¦ Be...... Be! The captain shuddered.
Before the Guards could fire, the Imitation Magellan took the lead and sank the Mulse in front of him.
In the face of the drive order of the surrounding "friendly" ships, some of them became angry and tried to attack the friendly forces, but they were sunk by the friendly ships that had been prepared for a long time, or they tried to leave, but they were targeted by the federal fleet and sunk.
There were only a few clever Captain of the Guards, and when the first Guards Captain was sunk, they saw that the situation was not good, and they ran away. Only then did he escape.
"Captain! Why is Commander Mark Bey ......"
"Do you know what it means to our allies when we break the formation and force our way through the attack on the enemy ship that killed Commander-in-Chief Kilian?"
"Huh?"
"It means that we have abandoned our friendly forces because of personal grudges, and now that we have lost our strategic weapons, we, a quarter of the battleships of the entire avant-garde fleet, turn their guns and attack the enemy ships below."
"Lost strategic weapons, lost a quarter of the fleet, and lost the best formation for fleet engagement. What awaits the avant-garde fleet is only defeat. β
"Do you remember what the exchange ratio of the Federation fleet to our fleet was? I tell you, it was more than one to four, and now, a few of our central guard flotilla are pursuing the enemy ships, and most of them are hurriedly turning their bows and coming back to meet the enemy fleet, the rearguard fleet...... Chaos became a pot of porridge, three-quarters of the fleet was sunk, and a quarter of the fleet was in chaos. β
"Even if the Federation fleet was sunk by JΓΆrmungad, 10 battleships and dozens of cruisers would now be equal to the number of our vanguard central guard fleet."
"Do you think that our friendly forces did not sink us on the spot, is it already considered a deep comradeship?" The unknown captain of the Guards straightened his hat, and after the anger was over, all that was left was endless emptiness and remorse.
"And ah, will the Federation kill Commander-in-Chief Killian on Doroth with a submachine gun......"
"What!"
"That fool in Kissilia, she killed Commander Kilian, and the wound on Commander-in-Chief Kilian's body was a gunshot wound. It wasn't something that exploded inside the ship and the fragments hit! The TMD Doros bridge didn't explode at all! β
The unknown captain threw photos of the Doroth bridge and photos taken by other friendly ships onto the bridge screen. The last photo is of Kysilia pointing a submachine gun at Kilian's body.
"We want to live and avenge Commander-in-Chief Kilian." The eyes of everyone in the bridge gradually leaked out of the wolf-like eyes.
"Admiral...... Enemy fleet...... Infighting? The CIC of the flagship of the Fourth Fleet watched with some confusion at the inexplicable explosion in the enemy fleet. Zooming in reveals that it was the other Zeon fleets attacking the remnants of the Kilian Guard.
"Leave it alone, let's move on. Destroy them all here, Zeon bastard. β
After all the ships of the Federation fleet had put the Zeon fleet within range, the Federation fleet began to slow down.
"Keep a distance and shoot at enemy ships, firepower and armor are the advantages of our army, there is no need to fight in dogfights."
"Admiral, the flagship is back." The operational staff whispered in Lieutenant General Claude's ear.
"Got it, connect the communication with the Dawn Sword." Lieutenant General Claude tidied up his uniform a little. "Admiral Rebil, next ...... command"
"You continue to command, inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy fleet, and try to capture the command of the enemy army."
"Yes!" Lieutenant General Claude, who is nearly 50 years old, gradually has an excited light on his face. "Operational staff officer, did you hear General Rebil's words just now? Develop a plan of operations, capture the enemy commander. The fleet maintains the status quo and waits for orders. β
"MS team, pick up the enemy, the enemy is numerous, our side is at a disadvantage."
"Let the MS team pull the front into the air defense circle of the fleet, rely on the battleships against the enemy, and let the reserves in the rear come up, now there is no need to prepare the reserves."
"Understand, the air carrier formation, carrier-based aircraft, all aircraft are dispatched, and the total force is fighting. Send out everything you can shoot. β
Both the Hive-class and Columbus-class formations in the rear opened the side armor plates of the hull.
"The carrier-based aircraft unit, the whole aircraft is dispatched, the unmanned battery is set off in order, and the intelligent machine mine group is launched to the predetermined position. Unmanned missile launchers, full launch, guidance handed over to front-line troops. β
"Admiral, the battle plan is out, let the Magellan-class of the Fourth Fleet in the rear step forward, carry the opponent's firepower, and the remaining enterprise-level total Super Mega particle cannon strafe the enemy fleet. Open the breach, break into the enemy fleet, the center blooms, and the 30 Shixie Lans carried by the fleet attack the enemy fleet, and then concentrate all the enterprise-level and high-performance MS, surprise the enemy rear guard fleet, and the remaining troops annihilate the remnants of the enemy fleet. β
"In this way, the casualties will not be much more than the steady battle, but the results can be achieved in a short period of time."
"Yes, then, let's do it." Lieutenant General Claude thought for a moment and decided to take a risk.
"Yes! Fleet formation conversion, the Fourth Fleet, the first to the enemy's 8 battleship formation forward, the First Fleet, the first and second temporary battleship formations to retreat, ah, the Dawn Sacred Sword into the first temporary battleship formation, all enterprise-level, Super Mega particle cannon launch preparation. The firing control system is linked, ready to strafe the enemy fleet. β
"The First Fleet, the 1st to 12th cruiser formations, are deployed behind the battleship formations of the Fourth Fleet, the 4th Fleet, the 1st to the 22nd cruiser formations are deployed in the rear of the fleet, and all the frigates are deployed near the battleship groups of the First Fleet."
"Super Mega Particle Cannon, ready to launch, energy reload 102%, ready to fire!"
"Whole ship, particle cannon, launch!"
Eleven huge beams of light shot out from the Federation fleet and swept through the Zeon fleet.
