After the colonial satellite fell in Sydney, Port Moresby became important, backed by the natural defence of the Stanley Mountains, and the Fairfax Bay and the Turlington base formed a joint federal defence in the area. Fairfax Bay alone, which is a port area comparable to that of the Gulf of Capantalia of Turlington and Zaft, has extended to a total length of more than thirty kilometres if the artificial wharves that form the estuary are included, and the number of ships sailing in the harbor in a single day can reach the standard of 300 or more. Although Port Moresby is not a very large port, it is a new place with chemical centers, factories, shipyards, and military bases, and is a stronghold of the Commonwealth's ocean defense network. For the local area that has been followed by large enterprises because of the Federation's strategy of relying on Papua New Guinea to implement reconstruction support for Australia, Moresby also occupies a certain position in terms of logistics functions.

The average water depth in Fairfax is at least 50 meters, but this is due to the artificial excavation of some of the seabed, where most of the water is still around 25 meters, and the Federation's maritime security network, SOSUS, is concentrated in the harbor. This alert network is complemented by up to 12 underwater jims, several submarines, and a shore-based anti-submarine* network scattered across the rocky walls of the coast to keep an eye on Moresby's waters. The sky of Moresby is well covered by multiple air defense positions in national parks, Jackson International Airport, and Ella Avenue, combined with mobile suit clusters that have been equipped with auxiliary flight systems (SFS).

As for Moresby's third defensive focus, it is a presence that is a bit inhibiting even the soldiers involved in its defense mission--- Moresby's barrier, the Stanley Mountains.

The Owen Stanley Mountains stretch for nearly 300 kilometres across the island like a backbone. The altitude is between 2,500 and 3,000 meters, and the highest point, Mount Victoria, is 4,035 meters above sea level, which is the biggest obstacle to north-south traffic on the peninsula. In the old World War II, Japan and the United States fought to the death here, and both called it "Devil's Mountain". The shortcut over the Devil's Mountain is to cross the Qumsi River 30 miles southwest from Buna, where the elevation rises steeply. And by the river there is a village called Kokoda, which runs south along the Ela Valley through Templeton Junction to the pass over the mountains, which is figuratively called the "Great Gap", although it is in large letters, but in fact the largest place is only allowed to pass through by one person. Through the pass, all the way to the southwest through Ioribeva, Imida Ridge and other places, you can go directly to Moresby. The 150-mile trail is a shortcut to what was once known as the Kokoda Trail. The complex terrain and dense rainforest greatly limit the mobility and firepower of the troops.

The Federation also conceived a series of defenses for the Kokoda Trail and put them into action, but after deploying the Marine Gundam and a number of vehicles and artillery units, it abandoned this defense plan after the creation of the SFS Auxiliary Flying Devices and the Minovsky Flying Devices. In the eyes of the Federation Headquarters, cruising in the air with warships, covering firepower from top to bottom is enough to drown out the enemy trying to attack from land, and the Zeon Army does not seem to have the kind of MS for special land jungle warfare. This is similar to the old American military thinking that the Japanese army wanted to climb over Owen Stanley Hill and attack Moresby as an impossible task.

This also led to the fact that a group of people who were deployed to the Stanley Defense Force before the Federation Army became quite marginalized existences, and even the Federation almost forgot half of their existence, but the Federation also forgot one thing, that is, in the old times, the Japanese did what the US military thought was impossible, and they almost succeeded---

After the Union garrison in Moresby was successfully controlled by the rebel forces at the command center, he was nervous for a moment when he heard that Jaygang, who had installed the early warning module, had reported that there seemed to be traces of large machinery passing near the Kokoda Trail in Mount Stanley, and then relaxed, if it were not for the fact that a militia team that went to a nearby mining site for regular training reported encountering "a large beast-like mobile suit in response to a warning from a front-end guard post", It is estimated that only the Stanley Defense Force's Marine Gundam will be sent over.

Although it is almost an outcast of the Federation, no matter what kind of organism it is, there will be people who will devote their efforts to development and application. One of the Marine Gundams near the Imida Pass near the end of the Kokoda Trail is piloted by Captain Wen Xing, who has received the code name "*", a veteran of the one-year war, who has always been a pilot of the Marine MS and specializes in fighting in difficult terrain. In Captain Wen's view, mountains, jungles, and sand dunes are all natural "Minovsky particle barriers", and the MS with excellent pilots has the ability to penetrate these barriers, and cruising from the air is easy to ignore many opportunities to take the lead.

It will take some time before the arrival of friendly air carriers and sawy MSs. If there are really enemy planes lurking, those who can really deal with it will not think about it except for the MS of the Marine Squadron. While looking at the data transmitted by the multi-function sensor, Wen Xing pushed down the joystick in one breath and said "It's time to fly" to the wingman. The two Gundams of the Warm Awakener and the Wingman erupted in flames for a short time, and with the help of the additional Mountain Warfare Propulsion Pack, they flew up to a not-so-tall rock platform. Although it is not a good way to use a noisy short shot, Wen Xing has checked the terrain in advance, and there are several cliffs next to the gentle rock platform, and it is impossible to shoot from an angle unless the enemy pokes his head out from above to attack. And if the opponent's mobile suit wants to attack, it will definitely expose itself.

Just as the Federation's two Land Combat Gundams began to lay relay beacons and began to scan the jungle below with the help of their heights, a near-right-angled cliff popped out like a cobra peeping out of the grass, and something absolutely unnatural popped out.

Driver of the 13th MS Separate Brigade of the Zaft Army, Kamini. Hadiren looked at the Gundam with the reticle pinned to the center, and was about to put his hand on the joystick, but suddenly frowned. Tormented by the sharp pain surging in her body, Caminee shivered and swallowed a few lozenges to relieve the pain that crept up from her spine. The acquired body that has undergone genetic adjustment to strengthen the "resolution of time" has also strengthened the heart, lungs and blood, and although it still looks beautiful, it has been strengthened to the extent that she can't even get a needle into it, so she can only swallow the medicine. After the pain eased slightly, Carmini pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The weakened particle projectile erupted at high speed from the 90 mm light-speed Gatling, and shot through the head and shoulders of the awakened wingman, quickly piercing the cockpit, and after reducing the pilot to ashes, the Gundam fell like a puppet.

Without being amazed, Wen Xing immediately drove the plane against the cliff where the enemy was standing, trying to make the enemy unable to get the firing angle--- he did succeed, lying in the cockpit of the MS at the top of the cliff, Caminee found that the remaining enemy plane was already outside the rotation angle of the beam Gatling's weapon mount.

At this time, the support units of the Federation Army felt that the Federation Army Jiegang, who had arrived from the air, stood on the jet seat and captured the traces of the enemy plane, and immediately launched a covering shot at the target point with the bazooka and beam rifle in his hand. Wen Xing, who noticed that the explosion above his head was starting to sound, immediately aimed the 100mm machine gun in his hand into the air, ready to give a shuttle of bullets to the enemy plane that was forced to move by friendly bombing, but he froze the next moment.

In the moonlight, the black, fox-like MS to him was rushing down from the cliff at nearly 90 degrees, not by rocket jets or air cushions, but like a real beast bred in nature.

"What the hell is this..." Wen muttered dumbfounded.

Then he came back to his senses with Jie Gang, who was in the air, and the rockets, machine gun shells, and beams all shot at the beast-type MS that had almost run to the bottom. The fox-like MS jumped lightly on the rock wall, and large puffs of smoke began to emit from its belly. Several Federation pilots quickly increased the intensity of the monitors, but by the time Thermowake captured the echoes of the other party's thermal imagery, which was barely a heat source for an MS-class machine, Kaminnie had already flown on top of the Land Gundam.

"Monsters... Wen Xing spat out such words, and at the same time that the fox-like figure that seemed to jump out of a ghost story burned into the retina, he pulled out the generator of the beam sword.

However, when the Land Gundam's hand was raised and was about to activate the beam sword, the fox-like MS opened his mouth, and while the heat energy tore through the hand of the Land Gundam, he also tore off the beam generator along with his forearm. The Land Gundam took a step back and raised his other arm.

Seeing that the cockpit part of the opponent had been trapped in the middle of the crosshairs, Camini pushed the joystick sharply, and the silver fox raised a front paw and slammed it towards the cockpit of the Land Gundam like a slap in the face.

Obviously driving a humanoid steel weapon, but was torn apart by a beast-like "monster", as if people in ancient times faced a fierce beast when they did not have confidence in the weapon in their hands, the pilots of the two Jiegang couldn't help but tremble when they watched each other tear apart their comrades and calmly jump into the jungle under their own shots.

Is this the rebel army, the federal army pilot who was told the wrong information by the real rebels couldn't help but curse in his heart, this is clearly the beast type MS of the group of people called Zaft Well, it's obviously a Spacenoid attack! Thinking like this, the two Jie of the Federation just chased after the silver fox, which had already begun to run in the direction of Moresby.

It's a nuisance, Carmine. Dande scolded repeatedly, the two guys in the back chased closely, and the silver fox couldn't outrun Jie Gang on the flying machine, if it was a straight offensive battle, then it would be good to shoot down, but the other party was actually a deceived federal soldier, and the pink speaker made a request not to kill as much as possible.

Annoyed, that's it, Camini pressed a button on the console.

A sharp probe poked out of the driver's seat and stabbed into the back of the driver's neck, and Camini immediately felt the familiar, shivering sensation running through her body once again.

Ah, after letting out a moan mixed with pain and pleasure, Caminnie opened her eyes again, and the world slowed down.

The speed, movements, of enemy aircraft were slowed down to the point where they could be considered "predicted"; The swing of the branches, the light and shadow of the moonlight, and the tracking speed of the turret, a huge amount of information is shot into the driver's brain, and then turned into nerve signals to be transmitted outward, and before it is converted into digital data, it is captured by the "zero" neuronal control system.

The 90-millimeter beam Gatling again erupted tongues of fire.
