Volume 13 Black Sun Chapter 7 Empire, Advance

Five huge laser beams aimed at annihilating the opponent's central mobile forces penetrated the central part of the five theaters of the Federal Army at an oblique angle, but thanks to Admiral Rebil's earlier orders, a large part of the Federation Army's MS troops, which were already moving while scattering false targets and jamming, evaded the fire of the main gun of the Imperial Fortress [Gangnir], and were able to begin to concentrate on Theater A in the center of the defensive line.

Just when General Rebil was just gasping for breath because of his correct decision, the chief observer sitting in front of Rebil forgot to shout:

"A large number of heat sources are rapidly approaching, a large number of heat sources are rapidly approaching, it is the !! of the enemy's MS troops"

The enemy didn't want to break through the line at all, but wanted to annihilate us--- looking at the cold war in the universe, Reybill's heart was cold, but Reybil, who was paid attention to and relied on his sight, did not let this chill appear on his face, but just ordered the fleet to start volleying and shrinking the battle line.

Dense points of light slid like an avalanche towards the Federal Army's defense line, and the main production MS [Valkyrie] of the Empire relied on the armed jets shot from the rear fleet and the Minovsky engine of their own aircraft to advance rapidly. By the time they approached about 30 km from the Union MS cluster, the 1,200 Imperial MSs mounted in pairs on armed jets simultaneously activated the AMBAC program and unbolted; At the same time, 1,200 direct-sailing rockets loaded on 600 jet mounts roared out with the help of the acceleration of the jet seats.

Just as the jet trajectory formed by thousands of gases was speeding towards the Union front, the signal light of [Enter 28,000 meters of effective artillery bombardment distance against MS] also lit up on the Federation warship almost at the same time. As the gunners of the Federal Army pulled the trigger in confusion, hundreds of optical axes and gas tracks were still splashed on the front line that was much sparser than before, and the dense and interlaced lines of fire like cobwebs spread out at the front of the A theater of the Federation Army almost instantly.

The rockets galloping towards the Federal Army quickly divided into two batches, one in front of the other, and a group of missiles in front of them opened their warheads as if they were blooming, and threw the dense iron balls at the MS of the Federal Army at a speed of dozens of times. The MS attacked by these iron balls fell into a quality control chaos and began to spin out of control in an instant, while the attacking Imperial MS at the same time activated the Variable Speed Beam Rifle (VSBR) directly connected to the power furnace, and the green light rain washed over the Federation's battle array.

"Spread out !!" The Black Death of the Federation shouted as he manipulated MS evasion.

"No, no," said Dinis, who used to guard Luna 2. However, after swallowing the fury of Luna 2's destruction, Jung calmly looked through the wave-like flames in zero gravity, looking at the heat source that was still approaching rapidly, "Intercept those missiles, that's the ship's missile!! Intercept those missiles!! Knock it down!! ”

The Federation's number one crash king quickly pressed on the control board, temporarily fixed the lock target on the [missile level] object, and the plural cursors instantly unfolded, and at the same time, Dinis threw the * belt hanging on the right waist side out of the front in one breath, and activated the beam Grimm cannon fixed in the shield in his left hand. * and the lines of fire of the two Grimm cannons unfolded, turning multiple rockets into exploding balls of light before his eyes.

However, there were still rockets that passed through the slow Federation pilots and crashed straight into the Federation warships, and some lucky rockets crossed the optical axis created by the Miga main gun, passed through the intercepting fire network, and plunged headlong into the battleship, allowing the battleship to shatter quietly in the flash. The expanding fireball cooled rapidly, leaving only a few segments of the ship's hull trapped in the clouds formed by the gas.

"Defense mothership priority, defense formation A!!" Baninger roared.

"The enemy's MS troops are pressing up!"

"The other party wants to annihilate us completely, and they won't give us a chance to retreat!" Hiroshi Uragi gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence.

Many front-line MS pilots of the Federation Army felt the inexplicable chill coming from the void, the other party didn't want to leave them a trace of life at all--- prioritizing sinking the mothership would leave them with nowhere to return, unable to retreat, and nowhere to resupply after running out of ammunition and fuel...

"Fighting a war always depends on the first two or three steps," said Gulen, the flagship of the Imperial Front. Gast said to Alice who appeared in stereoscopic images while debugging his mobile suit, "Just like the old man who Reybir expected my tactics, I'm not without a backhand, since many of the opponent's main MS troops have escaped a catastrophe, then weaken their supply capabilities, if I'm not mistaken, in order to fight us, they should have quite a lot of troops loaded with physical ammunition weapons, so as to cooperate with those MS who are not in sufficient numbers of GN weapons, and knock out their supply points, and the victory will be ours." ”

"Will it really be as you wish," Alice's image stood on the screen in front of Gulen, shaking her head, "Isn't destroying the other party's home just forcing the other party to fight against the water, mourning soldiers... Isn't that what we? ”

"But we have changed," Gulen stopped what he was doing and looked at his hands, which were no different from any human, "now is the time to show that our transformation is the future of humanity, no matter how angry and crazy they are, the warriors of the Empire will not be moved, we will not be moved, in battle, there is no need for such a thing as emotion!" ”

“。。。。。。 The central front is stalemate. Looking at her lover, who was still emotionally bullied at this time, Alice sighed softly at the heart of her program.

"Command the troops, the battle sequence, press me up." Gulen waved his hand

"Why, isn't that good?" Alice slammed the cockpit door shut, and a stereoscopic image emerged from behind Gulen's neck and whispered in his ear.

"What?" Gulen. Gast's face sank.

"When you're 100% in sync with me, that feeling, it's really good, my Red Lotus Knight...

"Don't you know?"

"At that moment, I am you, you are me, how can I know?"

Unlike the Supreme Military Commander of the Empire, who was in a brief melancholy at this time, the Valkyries who were speeding on the front line immediately formed a wedge-like formation after seeing the signal flare sent by the Imperial Central Fleet, and the tip of that formation immediately plunged into the center of the defense line of the Central Theater of the Federation. Relying on their superior armor, the Empire's MS blasted rows of high-energy particle jets and shells into the Federation front under the fire of the Federation Army.

"Do you want to forcibly crush our front?" Just when Rebir let out such an exclamation, the commanders who stretched out the front line also discovered the Imperial Army's way of pushing over like a wall, and they couldn't help but have a ridiculous feeling in their hearts--- this has always been a tactic that the Federation will only adopt when fighting against the inferior forces of the inhabitants of the universe, using superior firepower and numerical walls to press over.

"There's nothing wrong with learning from those guys, and now there's no choice, Ramsus, Dagger, let's go!" Roar like a beast, Azan. Gable maneuvered the improved Hambrabi to blast a missile with all his might, then flashed a spectacular maneuver to dodge, passing over the missile before its proximity tube could activate, and then accelerating further with the impact of the missile's explosion to charge towards an Imperial MS from below.

As if they had not received the influence of the [sudden] element in the [Raid] action, the four MSs of the Empire calmly turned their bodies and faced the attacking Hambrabi squad head-on. The Imperial MS, which had just bombarded the enemy with rockets, calmly changed into magazines to respond, and the 300 mm warhead that was advancing in a straight line passed through the void and rushed towards Yazan, who was in the lead. However, the beast of Titans dodged with a tumbling climb before the warhead could disperse the iron ball with an explosion, and activated the beam cannon in a rapid rotation, forcing the Imperial MS to dodge urgently.

"Oh, oh, it seems that you are not invincible, the armor can't stop it or what, ah?!"

With Yazan's roar, just before he was about to be caught in the crossfire, Ramsas. Hasa fired eight small rockets in one go. A high concentration of Minovsky particles, flashes of light and smoke exploded in an instant. The Imperial MS was about to raise its head when a whip-like thing wrapped around its head like a pounced bird of prey.

"Yo!" Taking advantage of the fact that Dagger was almost covering with a beam cannon burst, Yazan put the beam cannon directly on the opponent's head.

The beam passed through, and a dazzling fireball lit up in the universe, and the Yazan team, who had completed a pounce, immediately circled and broke away before the Imperial Army MS gathered fire on them.

"That's the only way to go, the non-hunting squad continues to form a front to resist and protect the mothership; Hunt the squad, adopt the tactics of the Yazan team just now, and pierce their formation! "Dinis who served as the temporary commander of the front. Jung quickly relayed the order.

The Federal Army hunting team, equipped with a combination of large-yield physical ammunition weapons and GN weapons, immediately began to break away from the battle line, and reluctantly left their comrades who had no chance to equip GN weapons to defend the mothership and the line they could go back to, and began to attack the MS front of the Imperial Army from all directions like floating weapons.

"I hope the upper authorities will come up with some countermeasures." Abandoning the additional thrusters on his back that had been cut open by the extremely fast beam, Banninger reluctantly as he bombarded the enemy with rapid-fire guns loaded with jammers to create an opportunity for Hiroshi Uraki to attack.

2 hours and 26 minutes into the start of the battle, the Imperial MS cluster began to press the Federal Army front, because the Federation Army, which was greatly inferior in laser cannon irradiation and the airframe, was forced to sharply shrink the battle line and concentrate the main MS combat force in the Central A Theater of Operations, where the Imperial main attack was attacked. The Federation aces, who were at an overwhelming technical disadvantage, were forced to awkwardly adopt the tactics of their old enemy Zeon--- and began to use elite detachments to carry out cannibalization and harassment tactics against the enemy with one blow.

The Federation army was retreating, and the Imperial MS troops were piercing into the Union line like wedges into a plank.

"How's the battle going?" Gulen. Gast asked as he adjusted the body's cooling system.

"As you estimated, the number of the Federation forces is still somewhat useful, they use a large number of MS of various types of aircraft to desperately defend the mothership and shell our line, and elite detachments equipped with GN weapons carry out one-hit disengagement tactics from all directions."

"If they don't last long, they'll have to go back to resupply, that kind of high-mobility warfare... That's when the next stage comes in. ”

2 hours and 30 minutes into the start of the war, the Empire's supreme military commander, Gulen. With a smirk on his face, Gast looked at a flickering bright spot on the star map.
