Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Battle of Britain

Twenty hours later, the First and Second Fleets of the Federation converged in the Side2 Domain, and after a brief reorganization, they entered the range of Side2 Harty.

"Lord Kissilia, after 12 hours of emergency installation, the thrusters have been installed on the island of Iphishu, but the colony is so badly damaged that it cannot be guaranteed to fall accurately on Gabro."

"It doesn't matter, time doesn't allow us to conduct a perfect British war."

"Lord Kissilia, the Federation fleet has appeared off the coast of Hadi! Grand Fleet! ”

"What a panic! What about the number of enemies? Kysilia reflexively returned to the commanding seat.

"There are 4 large warships of unknown type, 30 of the Magellan class, 90 of the Salamis-class, and most frigates!"

Listening to the exaggerated number of ships, there was an uproar in the Zeon bridge.

"Don't panic! How long does it take for the thrusters to start? ”

"15 hours!"

"Set off in 3 hours, and if you can land on Earth."

"Yes."

"Staff officer, set a sailing route that will break away from the Federation forces with a single blow, and cover the breakthrough of the enemy fleet on the island of Iphixiu."

"Yes!"

"Admiral, it has entered the sea off the coast of the Hadi, the Hadi garrison fleet has been completely wiped out, and all the places have been seriously damaged, and the existing statistics show that the casualties have exceeded 100 million...... It's hell. ”

"Send the damage report back to the Federal Army Headquarters and ask them to contact the people of the Colonial Commune for emergency repairs and send rescue troops to come and save people. What about the movements of the Zeon Army? Rybil got up from his seat and watched the tragic scene from a remote telescope. Almost all of the colony's harbor area was badly damaged, and the outer walls of the colonies were severely damaged. Corpses, soil, frozen water, building wreckage, and vehicles within the colony are scattered throughout the Celestial Domain.

The friction between the wreckage also caused a flash of lightning to occur every now and then throughout the Celestial Domain.

"At present, 4 Gvarkin-class ships, 12 Baili ships, and 71 Mse-class ships have been identified, and an artillery formation has been set up in front of Iphihu Island."

"It shouldn't be...... Rebiel tilted his head, muttering to himself, then zooming in on the image of Iphixiu. What is that? ”

Rebil pointed to the large cylindrical structure on the outer wall of Iphihu.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not the original structure of the colony." The staff officer was also puzzled when he looked at the newly installed construct.

"A report has been sent from the flank Salamis class that a suspected large propulsion unit has been found on the island of Iphisu. Image, release. ”

Looking at the flared spout at the tail of the cylinder, which was deliberately circled, everyone did not have the slightest doubt that this was a thruster.

"Readiness for combat in the fleet, preparation for artillery and lightning strikes, anti-aircraft combat readiness. The fleet advances, stopping Zeon's plans. ”

"Yes, the fleet is ready for combat, artillery and lightning strikes, anti-aircraft combat readiness! The third rate of war. CIC opens, command staff, as well as bridge crews, transfer. ”

"Admiral......" Rebiel stopped before he could leave the bridge.

"What's wrong? Uh......" Reybier's voice looked at the Zeon fleet with wide eyes as if someone had choked him. The barrels of the Zeon fleet were all pointed at the few colonies that were still intact.

"The Zeon fleet is shouting on the public channel. Let's not move forward, or we'll open fire. The staff officer gritted his teeth and finished finishing the information that had just arrived. Zeon's Bastard......"

"Fleet stop! Naval guns aiming! It's in range, right? Rabiel turned to look at the captain.

"With the exception of some defenders, all enemy ships are within effective range of our side."

"Keep aiming. Let's go to CIC. Rabiel turned away from the bridge.

"What is the difference between this kind of behavior and terrorists!"

"Is this how Zeon, who inherited Daken's legacy, answered Daken!"

"Using the colonies as bargaining chips to beg the Federation to spare themselves?! Is this how the Zabi family fights? ”

“……”

When the guns of the Zeon fleet were pointed at the colony, the MS training regiment urgently transferred from the mainland by the Zeon army exploded.

A large group of newly produced MS-06 Zagu 2 surrounded the ship in Kissilia.

"Your Excellency Kysilia, if you still have the glory of a warrior, please aim your cannon at the Federal Army, and aim your cannon at the colony, it's not something that colonists like us should do."

Without saying a word, Kisilia cut off Matsunaga's communication.

"What do you guys think too?!" Kysilia rose from her seat. "You can see the fleet on the other side, if the Federation fires, this fleet will be completely wiped out in 3 minutes, and Zeon itself will be exposed to the Federation's guns without reservation. You don't think this fleet will last the remaining hour under Union fire. Inform the whole fleet by laser communication that I, Kissicia, will not massacre the colonists for no reason, but the British operation must be completed, and hold on for an hour anyway. ”

"Admiral, it seems that the enemy fleet is in turmoil."

"Riots?" Rybil put down the sandwich in his hand. "Probably there are people within the Zeon Army who disagree with Kisilia's behavior, has side2's damage been counted?"

"Of the total 30 colonies, 21 were completely destroyed, the number of survivors ranged from 35 to 90, 6 could be repaired within 3 years, the survival rate was around 90%, and 2 were largely unharmed, but the port area was damaged. The survival rate is 98 per cent. The Colonial Commune gave a preliminary restoration plan, but the specific situation needs to be assessed on site. ”

"So many people survived? What a surprise. ”

"The Admiral's plan to upgrade the Colonial Vault more than three years ago has been well implemented, and, thanks to the Governor's proposed Vault Drill Plan, the Colonists' evacuation is timely, and unless the Vault is hit in between, the inhabitants of the Vault will not die so soon."

"Oh, I remember......," Rybir nodded, "it turned out to be the heap of drafts that he put forward when he heard that half of the population had died in the early days of the war......," Rebiel thought to himself.

"What about the survival of Iphihu?"

"The survival rate is 71 percent, and all of them are taking refuge in shelters. Iphihu was one of the pilot colonies of the Detached Vault, which was able to rescue itself after the departure of the Zeon fleet. ”

"Detached shelters? Use the shelter as an escape boat? ”

"Exactly, moreover, the central control system on the island of Ifixiu recorded evidence of the GG's gas injected by the Zeon Army."

"Got it, loop the video evidence on the public channel." Rybil finished his sandwich and wiped his mouth. "I really fell asleep and sent a pillow."

"Admiral, the Zeon Army workboat has left the outer wall of Iphixiu, and the staff believes that the thrusters have been installed, and the enemy should start attacking."

"Understood, the engine is warmed up, ready for tactical maneuvers, and the colony's predicted fall trajectory is calculated."

"Where is the whereabouts predicted?"

"Do you need to say anything? Gabro, of course. ”

"Lord Kissilia, the thruster installation is complete."

"After 30 seconds of ignition, the fleet, using the island of Iphixiu as a shield, broke through the enemy blockade. The enemy's artillery fire should be concentrated on the colony and return to Zeon at full speed. ”

"Yes."

"Colony! The colony's departure from the Lagrange Point move begins! The screams of the radar officers resounded throughout the CIC center. The loud sound caused the people in the CIC to cover their ears in pain.

"Don't shout!" The captain lifted his mask and rubbed his ears. "The fleet entered evasive operations, and the fire was concentrated on the ground fleet. Beam Disrupting Curtain Launch Ready! ”

"Hit the Zeon fleet as much as possible, without pursuit, and start the rescue operation directly." Rebil sat down in his admiral's seat. "The battle begins, let Zeon fire the first shot. Aviation units stand by above and below the fleet, expelling enemy aircraft from invading formations. ”

"The enemy fleet is speeding up, and it is advancing with the colony!"

"Steady." Rybil stared closely at the Zeon fleet, one by one around the colony.

"Enemy ships fire!"

"The curtain of disruption begins! Take out the skills you have trained, and you will never be allowed to hit the colony! Shooting begins! Rybil waved his right hand forward.

"Iwo Jima exploded and sank!"

"The Gill was shot and damaged, but she is still fighting."

"The Truman engine was shot, and it can't sail!"

"The Searle has rushed to the enemy ship! The Sail was sunk, damn it. ”

“……”

Listening to the communicator's constant reports of battle damage, Kissilia gritted her teeth.

"Staff! Have you counted the hit rate of the enemy ships? ”

"The basics are done." The staff officer stood next to Kissilia with a piece of paper. "The Salamis-class stabilized at 45 per cent, the Magellan class at 65 per cent, and the unconfirmed large warships hit at 85 per cent. The first two are comparable to the simulated combat results claimed by the Federation, so we believe that the enemy ships are largely unaffected by the Minovsky particles, but we are affected, and the shelling hit rate is below 30%. ”

"Stealing chickens doesn't make rice...... Dr. Minovsky, even left this hand...... The fleet, as well as the MS team, listen to the walk of the Minovsky particles, let me see how many hits you have without interference! ”

"S (Salamis) 101, S211 were shot and broke off the battle line, M (Magellan) 33 was shot and did not hinder the continuation of the fight, M41 engine was shot and broke away from the battle line."

"Huh? The accuracy of the enemy's shelling has risen, staff officer, what happened? Why did the accuracy of shelling of the enemy fleet rise? ”

"The enemy fleet stopped the walk of the Minovsky particles and was using fire control radar to illuminate."

“…… Minovsky particles, combat concentration walks. Rabiel rubbed his temples through his spacesuit. Not adapted to the battle of Minovsky particles......"

The captain next to him pretended to be deaf and dumb on the side.

"Enemy MS troops, break through the avant-garde fleet and go deep into the interior of the fleet!"

"Strike at the air! Fighter units drive out enemy aircraft. ”

"This is the captain of the killer whale team, understand, the whole plane, descend quickly!"

The Orca swoop down from above the fleet, starting with the iconic missile rain tactic.

"MS teaches the people of the brigade to follow me to assault the flagship of the enemy ship!"

Johnny Ryding drove a red Zagu with two bazookas to lead the way into the Federation fleet that had been torn apart by the colonies.

"The red MS over there, you come along!"

"Me?"

"It's you, Char, if you dare to open a special painting machine, come with us!"

The MS Assault Brigade has 48 MSs plus Char's MS and an MS to assault the Enterprise in Rebier.

"That large battleship, which emits the most radio signals, should be the flagship. Sink him! "49 MSs flew up and down in the barrage, dodging artillery fire and missiles.

"Wiring Gabro." Rybil opened his mask and took a sip of water.

"Hey?" The correspondent looked confused.

Rebile turned to look at him, "Connect with Gabro, find Major Ian Vasti, go quickly." ”

Ian, who also looked confused, appeared on the screen.

"What's the matter, General Rebil? You're not in combat? ”

"The air defense system you designed doesn't seem to be as effective as you boast, and the Enterprise is going to be struck." Rybir sent Ian a live video of the MS Instruction Regiment charging under the fire of the fleet's anti-aircraft guns.

“…… How did you meet this group of people, these people are all seedlings of Super ACE, and now it is estimated that compared to Super ACE, it is estimated that there are only a few hits and falls. Ian looked at the bunch of bells and whistles but the Zagu 2 without the green livery, and even saw two black high-mobility Zagus. Well? There are only two black triple stars? ”

"According to intelligence, one of the Black Triple was dismissed after the Battle of Smith Sea." The staff officer next to him really knew it, and said it in passing. "But under the protection of Doruz, he returned to the army and worked as a cleaner on the Valkyrie."

"......" was speechless.

"Enemy aircraft, enter the circle of aired fire, Enterprise, anti-aircraft shooting begins." The fire controller calmly broadcast.

Countless (48) lines of fire rose into the sky and shot at the incoming MS group.

"What! This anti-air fire! Char gritted his teeth and performed a large overload maneuver to dodge the incoming anti-aircraft artillery fire.

"This high precision is too much! Under conditions with such a high concentration of Minofsky particles?! Yuma Lightening is also performing a big overload maneuver.

Johnny Littering also fired 8 rockets at the Enterprise, but they were all intercepted by the Enterprise's close-in guns.

Close-in defense artillery, which has never been intercepted by missiles, sometimes even tries to intercept 120mm shells.

"Retreat! Fall back! Return to the fleet! Johnny Latin saw that he could not do anything and ordered a retreat.

"It seems that it is still very good, whether it is your air defense system or the enemy's combat qualities."

"Hmph, that's nature."

"Don't you say hello when you go? Feed! The killer whale captain chased after him.

Then he was beaten by more than 4 aces on the opposite side with a high-explosive bomb, and the nose of the plane was blown up.

“…… I'll let you go this time......" The killer whale pulled the black smoke and staggered towards the Columbia-class carrier-based carrier ship.

Witnessing the whole process of the enterprise number CIC music is full of laughter.

After a brief acceleration, the colony broke through to the Federation fleet. The Zeon fleet also began to speed up its escape, and one by one, the MS did not care about returning to Gnaku, and grabbed the deck or heat dissipation plate of the Mse-class or the Mudbe-class on the spot, and accelerated with the battleship.

"Give them a small gift at the end. Enterprise-level whole ship, fire control linkage, super mega particle cannon, launch preparation. Leave friendly ships away from the ray axis. Ray Bill took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on his face.

"Understood, the whole fleet has announced that the Super Mega Particle Cannon is about to be launched, get out of the way of the ray axis and defend against the flash."

"Lord Kissilia, out of range of the Federation ship's guns."

"Huh...... was as strong as Kissilia and breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the twisted main gun outside the porthole, this kind of battlefield Kissilia has also been on the lookout.

"What! Something," Kissilia subconsciously looked back.

"Your Excellency! There is a high-energy reaction in the rear! ”

Kysilia turned her head. "What's wrong?"

"Naval guns? That's impossible! ”

"What not ......"

Four huge beams of light passed through the Zeon fleet, then moved slowly before dissipating after more than ten seconds.

I didn't expect it, the Super Mega Particle Cannon is a beam sword!
