Chapter 154: Battle in Low Orbit (4)

Bridge of the Menelaos.

In the face of the Gamow, which was getting closer and closer, the faces of the people on the entire bridge were heavy.

"Full door aiming for the approaching Laurasia class."

"Let the frigates on both sides concentrate on the enemy's Laurasia-class, and the rest of the battleships continue to hold the line, so as not to give the Zaft army a chance."

Everyone was silenced by the approaching death, and all that could be heard was Halbarton's still-calm command.

Just as the entire Menelaos was preparing for a close artillery battle with the Gamow, a Drake-class ship desperately stopped the Gamow's forward path.

"Antigonus, return to your post." Halbottomen hurriedly connected to the Drake-class communication.

"Commander, please let me go." The captain of the Antigonus stood up and saluted, "It was the decision of all our crew, and it was a shame for our frigate to watch the flagship destroyed." ”

With that, the captain of the Antigonus cut off the communication.

"Our target is the enemy flagship, 15 on the right side, to dodge the other side."

Faced with the Antigonus's interception, the Gamow was forced to turn.

When it passed by the Antigonus, he used the firepower far superior to the opponent to sink the opponent, but also suffered great damage himself.

The Gamow continued towards the Menelaos, but after the previous turn, it had deviated from the course it had taken to impact the Menelaos.

Unable to continue ramming tactics, the Gamow could only hope to be able to sink the Menelaos with the help of the ship's artillery fire.

Two 937mm caliber second company main guns were aimed at the Menelaos after adjusting the angle.

A close-range artillery battle was on the verge of breaking out, and once the bombardment at such a distance began, even if Menelaos were to win, it would be a crushing victory.

"Don't succeed!"

Yura piloted the Raptor around the Menelaos and appeared on the side of the Gamow.

BGM Launch!

Relying on the system's improved capabilities, Yura rushed into the Gamow's air defense circle, firing full fire at extremely close range, destroying two main guns and one engine.

Originally, all the fire of the Gamow, including the anti-aircraft guns, was aimed at the Menelaos, but now when the Gamow was attacked, these anti-aircraft firepower hastily turned the muzzles, but there was no room for the Raptor that had already drifted away.

At the same time, the Gamow lost both firepower and collision angle, and thus lost any means to die with the Menelaos.

Then it exploded in the collective fire of the Eighth Fleet, turning into dust in the atmosphere.

Seeing that the Gamow had been sunk, Yura hurriedly returned home, and had almost reached the zero point of the battle, and he had to return before the Archangel broke through into the atmosphere.

Although the Raptor is a dual-purpose MA, this does not mean that it has the performance of a single aircraft to penetrate into the atmosphere.

As she approached the Archangel, Yura found that the assault was still entangled in a duel.

This little white hair is also crazy.,Obviously it's been caught by gravity.,Still crazy to attack the attack.,It seems that if you can die with the attack, you'll be satisfied.。

Over there, the Zero has landed on the deck of the Archangel by catapulting anchor, and Uncle Mu's opponent, the Storm Gundam, has also been completely captured by the gravity of the earth.

This guy is relatively normal, and he is already adjusting his landing posture.

At this time, Yura's birds of prey had also begun to be affected by gravity, and were powerless to help the strong attack entangled in the duel.

Like Mu, he used the catapult anchor to wait for the Archangel.

He didn't plan to risk his life to help Kira, and if Kira returned to the Archangel too smoothly, the Archangel would land in Alaska as planned.

This is what he does not want to see.

"Commander Halbarton! It's time to retreat! ”

Foreign Vice-Admiral Astar, who was watching the battle on the bridge of the Menelaos, hurriedly proposed to Halbarton that he had already missed death twice on this mission, and he did not think that death would forgive him a third time.

"Commander, the Eighth Fleet shouldn't fall into the hands of a self-made mech!" Colonel Hoffman, deputy commander of the fleet, seconded.

"Yes, now that the Zaft army has no way to take the Archangel, we should also think about it for ourselves." Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Astar continued.

At this time, the entire bridge was watching the commander of the Eighth Fleet.

Halbarton gave the order to retreat from Shanruliu.

Now that the combat mission has been completed, he naturally will not continue to let the Eighth Fleet and the Zaft Army stumble here.

"The whole army turned and broke away from the right flank of the Zaft army."

There was originally the Gamow of the Zaft Army, but now that the Gamow has been sunk, it will be difficult for the Zaft Army to stop it if the Eighth Fleet breaks away from that direction.

——

"Give me death!"

Yitzhak manipulated the duel and slashed at the attack with a sword.

Hatred and shame kept eating away at his sanity, so much so that he ignored the frenzied sirens in the cockpit.

It was a reminder that he had to immediately adjust his posture for the breakthrough into the atmosphere.

"Damn."

The assault blocked the slash with a shield, and Kira, who was also urged by the sound of the siren, began to anxiously look for a way to get out.

"That guy!"

As she looked around, Kira saw that Yura's bird of prey had landed on the Archangel number.

He almost scolded, and he felt like he had been sold by Yura again.

It seems that this attack was also proposed by Yura, but he returned safely, but he was trapped here.

If he continues like this, I'm afraid he will go into the atmosphere with the duel and be finished together.

Although the manual says that the Gundam has the ability to penetrate into the atmosphere alone, it has not been tested at all.

Who knows if it's reliable or not......

Faced with this desperate situation, Kira makes a risky decision.

He didn't want to die in the atmosphere with the Zafts, who had the girl he liked on board.

Be sure to return to the Archangel number!

Kira pushed the lever sharply, and instead of retreating, the shield rushed into the duel's arms, and then kicked the duel in the face.

Through the reaction, the distance between the two was instantly widened, and the archangel began to move closer.

Unfortunately, Duel drew a lightspeed gun and aimed at the back of the attack, and after a few strokes, Yitzhak, who had found his touch, hit the attack in the back with a shot.

The air combat backpack exploded in an instant, and the impact of the explosion caused the assault to deviate from the route towards the Archangel.

In this case, the loss of the correct penetration posture and the strong attack of the air combat backpack already have no motivation to return home in the atmosphere.

And lowering the well-prepared Archangel still leaves room for movement.

Knowing that the attack could not return, Captain Maliu gave the order to move closer to the attack.

She knew very well that one of the top priorities of this landing operation was the Strike Gundam, and if she couldn't return to Alaska with the strike, then the sacrifice of the Eighth Fleet would be meaningless.
