What happened behind Lear was unknown, and he was now devoting all his energy to the attack on the Magellan.

In all fairness, although the Makellan is an old ship more than ten years ago, because it is the flagship of the First Fleet and the particularity of the Magellan-class No. 1 ship, it has never slackened in maintenance and modification for more than ten years.

Such a Magellan, of course, also has the most elite members of the First Fleet, and the best gunners and the best gunners are gathered on this ship.

Although the Magellan was located at the center of the First Fleet of the Federation, the powerful Mega Particle Cannon could not be used for accidental damage, the twenty anti-aircraft guns were enough for anyone who tried to attack it to think about it.

On the other hand, Lei Guang's equipment is a little thin.

The battle shield in the left hand, the thermal axe in the right hand, and the only other thing is the two nuclear rocket launchers fixed behind him, each with 3 rounds of ammunition, plus a spare magazine for each one, for a total of 12 nuclear bombs.

This sounds like a number that can completely blow up half of Japan, but it must be explained that the nuclear rocket launcher carried by Zagu is only carrying a tactical nuclear bomb with a small yield, and the most important means of killing a nuclear bomb, that is, the shock wave generated by the explosion, does not exist in space, so unless it is a direct hit to the core reactor, the imaginary situation of one bomb and one ship is almost impossible, and the nuclear bomb hitting the battleship is likely to only be dug up, which looks miserable but does not lose its combat effectiveness.

If it is an ordinary pilot, let alone driving a thunderbolt, even if he really drives a Gundam, he may not be able to do a single-plane anti-ship, and the young pilot whose life is thinner than paper is the best negative example.

But the so-called trump card is to be able to do things that others can't.

Lear ordered the other MS to launch a diligent attack on the ships around Magellan, while he himself charged head-on to Magellan.

"Stop him, don't let him get close!" Walken exclaimed, the Magellan's anti-aircraft gunners tried their best to aim the anti-aircraft guns at Lear, but Lear was clearly not the one to be stopped by this level of interference.

Lei Guang raised his shield in front of him, protected most of the position of the previous body, and then, like the most standard MS ship textbook, began to make an arc maneuver around the Magellan.

Thanks to Thunderlight's more beneficial acceleration than the average Zagu, and Lear's own skills honed through sweat, Thunderlight was able to approach a very dangerous distance for the Magellan with little hindrance.

However, Lei Guang did not attack, it did not even pull out a nuclear rocket launcher, but like a medieval cavalryman, it held a cold weapon and shield in its hand.

Therefore, the arc maneuver made by Lei Guang at this time is a little different from the arc maneuver made by Jonny Lydon against the Lexington.

Jonny Laydon's arc maneuver, no matter how he changed direction and which direction he flew, always kept a safe distance from the Lexington, because he was using a nuclear rocket launcher, and he had to take into account the problem of not being injured by mistake, and because of this, with this deliberately set aside safe distance, the Federal Army's anti-aircraft gunners also had room to use their firepower.

It's more convenient and safer to solve it with a nuclear bomb, but it's too convenient and too safe to do so.

The so-called 'hero' is brilliant and courageous, and if Lear's heroic status has been recognized, some protection will be automatically ignored, but at this moment he is only relying on the enthusiasm of the people who have aroused before.

This blood comes and goes as fast as the melee progresses, and as the melee progresses, the death of his comrades will quickly subside, and he must once again strengthen his position in the hearts of the people, so that they will resolutely obey his orders.

And as he said before, the Magellan is a warship with a special status in the federal army, and if such a battleship is too simple to sink, it will give the federal officers and soldiers a feeling of unreality.

The more tragic it died, the more shocking it became.

It was with this line of thought in mind that Lear almost stubbornly chose a melee weapon.

Lei Guang narrowed the distance little by little as he maneuvered along the Magellan, so that its trajectory was not circular but swirl, and he did not choose to approach the anti-aircraft turret of the Federation Army directly from the side, but cut along the edge of the side to minimize the anti-aircraft guns that could fire at the same time at the same time.

The Magellan's gunner was an old man who was over half a hundred years old and almost retired, but in keeping with his age, this old man had a lot of combat experience, and he realized what Lear was trying to do even before Warken, and in fact, if the Fourth Fleet was here, they would also feel the immediate sense of it.

Cutting into the dead end of the anti-aircraft fire of a battleship (or a transport ship or an armed merchant ship) from the side edge was a tactic that the pirates were very keen on, and it was similar to the extremely low-level raid of torpedo bombers in the Western era.

It is true that this tactic will certainly make most anti-aircraft firepower useless, but just like torpedo bombers are prone to collision accidents at extremely low levels, and the survival rate of the driver is extremely low once hit, the side edge cut will eat up all the firepower of the anti-aircraft guns because of the lack of lateral maneuvering space!

This is an unwise tactic that would have been used by outlaws like pirates (just as torpedo bomber horizontal raids were also a famously stupid and helpless tactic in World War II), and there must be a prerequisite for this tactic to be carried out, that is, multiple fighters/assault boats must act together, otherwise a single assault will only be easily shot down by anti-aircraft guns.

Carried away? The gunslinger thought to himself, or did he have a wrong understanding of his own strength?

In all fairness, the continuous redirection maneuver that faced the Mega Particle Cannon just now was indeed very surprising, but this was not a Mega Particle Cannon that could not fire continuously, but an anti-aircraft gun with a rate of fire of up to thousands of rounds per minute!

Fools who don't think they can do anything!

Based on this understanding, the gunner's commander was immediately able to give an order to several anti-aircraft turrets that were attacking in the direction of the lightning cut: "Switch the angle of the A, F, and I turrets to 75 degrees, concentrate fire!" ”

This is not the frightened anti-aircraft gunner on the USS Missouri, but the calmed down, and the Union Army is also considered to be the best anti-aircraft gunner in the whole army.

The Magellan's anti-aircraft gunners faithfully carried out their orders, but they all miscalculated a problem.

That is, the armor strength of the thunder light is different from the ordinary Zagu, and the people of the Magellan judge the damage tolerance of the MS, relying on the data of those destroyed MS, but for the world's unique Luna titanium alloy armor MS Zagu Thunderlight, such a judgment is obviously wrong.

Of course, if Lei Guang stood in place and ate damage, let alone the Luna titanium alloy, even the PS armor of another world line would not be able to resist, because even if the anti-aircraft cannon could not penetrate the armor, the kinetic energy generated by tens of thousands of shells could catapse the body away, and even shock the pilot to death in the cabin.

Lear understands this, too.

But that doesn't pose much of a threat.

From the time the Union gunners sensed Lear's intentions, to the time he gave the order, to the Union anti-aircraft gunners adjusting the position of the turrets, how much time was left for them to shoot?

A little more than 1 second, no more than 2 seconds.

Three anti-aircraft guns, even calculated according to the ultimate rate of fire, can only fire about 500 shells in 2 seconds.

Of course, these 500 rounds of ammunition are enough to destroy any fighters and assault boats that try to get closer, and ordinary Zagu will be able to stop them from approaching.

But this is no ordinary Zagu.

The dense rain of bullets hit the shield in front of the thunderbolt, although the 25mm cannonball had no more power to continue to penetrate the luna titanium alloy armor after penetrating the battle shield of the super tensile steel alloy, but the kinetic energy was really exerted on the thunder light, and it was going to send it flying!

However, at this moment, Lei Guang's power system also began to exert force, and some of the power systems that 'borrowed' from the Zmad technology of Zeonnic's rival company exerted strong power, and dazzling flames erupted behind Lei Guang, turning this eighteen-meter-high huge iron block into a cannonball.

Lei Guang held his shield in front of him, and under the fire of the anti-aircraft guns, he approached the Magellan in an almost wrestling manner!

Magellan's anti-aircraft guns failed to stop the thunderbolt's advance after all.

At the moment when Lei Guang and the Magellan staggered, Lei Guang threw away the battle shield in his hand, which was already full of holes, and the thermal axe in his hand, together with part of the armor on the side of the Magellan, cut the anti-aircraft turret that was constantly firing at the Lei Guang in half!

This turret, in the mouth of the Commander of the Magellan, should have been called the F turret.

The loss of just one turret is, of course, not enough to make this huge battleship incapacitated, and it can even be said that if it is a fleet battle, it is nothing more than a lucky flesh wound.

But for Lear, this means that a gap has been torn open in the Magellan's air defense net, and Lear is more than capable of tearing the gap bigger and bigger.

The Magellan was almost already considered defeated, in no more than ten seconds.

At the same time that Thunder Light broke through the F turret, Warken had already realized that something was wrong, and the shock caused by the destruction of the F turret was not strong for the entire battleship, but it was enough to make Warken fall into an ice cave.

"Confirm the loss immediately!" He ordered loudly, and put on the helmet of the life jacket that he had not intended to wear, he was not one of the generals who Douglas was very aggressive, but just past the easy to break, and had a sense of coexistence and death with the battleship, as he said before, he was a general who could still persevere in the face of countless defeats and fight until victory.

If Magellan can't keep it, he will never die with this ship, but will choose to change ships and fight again.

Having said that, he still couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, he had already seen the power of the Zeon Army's tactical nuclear bombs, and if he hit Magellan, it would only take one shot, and now that the anti-aircraft fire network has been broken, the fate of this ship can be said to be in jeopardy.

Do you want to break away now? Walken couldn't help but hesitate, it was just a matter of abandoning the ship if it had been knocked out of an anti-aircraft turret (although the loss of this anti-aircraft gun meant that the battleship had a loophole that allowed nuclear bombs to pass through。。。。。。

It's so inappropriate.

He gritted his teeth, unable to make up his mind, and just as he hesitated for a moment, another vibration came from the hull.

"What's going on?" He said with a hint of trepidation in annoyance.

"General! Enemy MS is destroying the anti-aircraft turrets of our army! The A turret was destroyed! The signal soldier said nervously, and as he spoke, a third tremor was heard.

The anti-aircraft turrets of the Federation Army also have a limit to the pitch angle, and for Lei Guang, who has already reached zero distance from the armor of the battleship, these anti-aircraft turrets that can only be turned in vain are just dishes prepared on the table.

A feast.

"H turret silence, General, please instruct!!" There was almost a cry in the words of the signal soldier.

Here again Walken remembered the completely flattened USS Missouri, the yellow fuselage in which the young pilot, who claimed to be Lieutenant Alxstein, was going to put on another insulting show on his ship.

The sense of humiliation in Hua Ken's heart became more and more magnified, and the powerful firepower was useless, so he was cut into a non-threatening stick by a mere MS, which could not be said to be a great humiliation for a young and promising general.

But after all, he is not a person who will be affected by anger, I saw that he secretly gritted his teeth for a moment, and immediately made a decision.

"Ask all nearby warships to step up their efforts to provide air defense support for the flagship!" He ordered loudly, and there was no trace of frustration in his tone.

Unlike the Mega cannon, the battleship's armor could completely ignore the threat of close defense guns, and it was Watten's order that all warships should not worry about mistakes and do their best to support the flagship.

Since the yellow one did not use the nuclear bomb, it means that things have not reached the point where it must be evacuated as soon as possible.

This arrogance will be the cornerstone of his failure。。。。。。

Although Walken wanted to say this, he himself knew that the Magellan could only hold out for a while.

The Federation warships around the Magellan have increased the number of turrets that provide anti-aircraft support to the flagship, but despite their best efforts, they themselves are threatened by other MSs and are limited in the firepower they can provide to the flagship.

Of course, the firepower provided by these distant ships is not very dense and the hit rate is not high, but Lear can't completely ignore this threat, not to mention the frontal armor, and it would be terrible if the propulsion system behind it was broken.

He had to turn around first, ready to change directions.

However, at this moment, a black shadow appeared in front of Lei Guang.

It was a black-painted Zagu holding a shield, and it held up its shield to block the thunder light.

It was Aina, who, despite her special livery, was just an ordinary Zagu after all, and arrived a step later as Lear's wingman.

"Lieutenant, please be careful!" Aina raised her shield, and although she couldn't kill with her own hands, she didn't hesitate to stand in front of Lear at the moment.

"Aina? saved. Although the threat of these anti-aircraft guns is not great, Lear still candidly thanked Aina.

"I'll leave it to me, Lieutenant," said Aina, "and keep doing what you have to do!" ”

"Bet on Sakhalin, and I won't let them get in your way!"

"Well, then please!" With that, Lear decisively turned around and continued to plunge into the demolition, while Aina held her shield and continued to swim along with Lear's actions to avoid being attacked on Thunderlight's back.

The Magellan had fewer and fewer points of fire.

Realizing that he couldn't go at this point, Walken stood up and issued an announcement to the whole ship.

"This is the bridge, I am the fleet commander Rear Admiral Warken, this ship has no strength to continue fighting, I ask all the crew of the battleship to immediately find the nearest lifeboat and withdraw immediately!"

In fact, at this time, the anti-aircraft guns on the other side of the Magellan were not damaged, but when all the anti-aircraft guns were dismantled, it was too late for the Magellan to become a bare pole.

"Although the flagship will be abandoned, this battle is not over," Walken said, standing up and holding the handrail, "We will continue to fight." ”

"I will change the flagship and continue to command the battle, good luck to everyone," and finally he said: "Long live the Federation." ”

With that, he walked with his officer staff group towards the lifeboat specially prepared for the commander, captain and other senior officers at the back of the bridge.

However, it was too late.

Lear, who sensed the movement of Walken and the others, decisively gave up the idea of continuing the attack, and after a brief reminder to Aina, he quickly distanced himself from the Magellan.

And at this time the public communication channel was opened.

[Flagship of the Federal Space Force, Magellan!] 】

[Sunk!] 】

[Enemy Admiral, Commander of the First Fleet, Warken! 】

[Killed by me, Lear Alxstein!] 】

[Rejoice, gentlemen, this damn ship has been killed by us!] 】

[Rejoice, gentlemen, this is the first general's head we cut off in this battle!] 】

[Next, it's Reybier!] 】

【Sieg Zeon！ 】

【【Sieg Zeon！！！！ 】】

Amid the cheers of the Zeon officers and soldiers, Lear's nuclear bomb hit the core reactor wrapped in armor from the side, and like all other warships that were hit here, it was a shadow in the hearts of the SIDE3 for more than a decade, and the proud flagship of the Federal Space Force, the Magellan, exploded in two without any suspense.

Rear Admiral Walken, who failed to retreat from the ship, like most of the crew members of the Magellan, was involved in the explosion of the core reactor and became the highest rank and position of the Confederate side to die in this battle.

Rear Admiral Warken, who died in battle, was posthumously awarded the rank of Lieutenant General of the Space Force after the war, and his position in the history of the Federation Space Force is very prominent, on the one hand, he fought until the last moment, but more importantly, he was the commander of the fleet controlled by the faction that gained dominance after the war, although it was only forced to surrender the fleet by the powerful Reybir at that time, but if these officers of the First Fleet who participated in the war wanted to show their bravery in this battle, and the role played by the First Fleet in the battle, I had to pinch my nose and describe the sacrificed Warken as heroic, which can be called a representative of all the beautiful words in human military history.

As the backbone of Reybier's faction, Warken naturally will not be dragged back by them, and by mutual coincidence, Walken, the commander of the First Fleet who temporarily rushed to the shelves, has become a famous general whose reputation and honor are far higher than that of the original commander of the First Fleet, Rear Admiral Douglas, and has become a hero who will appear in history textbooks for middle school students and war memorial special programs.

It's very funny in a sense.

Another hero in this battle, Lear Wolfgang Alxstein, was given a new nickname for killing Douglas and Walken, two generals under the Cosmos Army, but this nickname was undoubtedly a mixture of fear and disgust among the Union officers and soldiers, compared to the 'Yellow Flash', which Zeon Fang called him, which contained respect and adoration.

It's called 'The General's Executioner'.

And this different name is just in the ascendant at this moment, and there will be more blood belonging to the general who will stain this name red.

But that's not to be said later.

After confirming Walken's death, Lear was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, which meant that his battle in the First Fleet was over, and he could now focus on launching a surprise attack on Reybier's defenses.

It felt really long, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then he lifted his spirits and began to follow the original plan, centered on the Missouri (battle flag) that deliberately no one attacked, and the Zeon Army MS within a radius of twenty kilometers began to abandon the attack and follow Lear to break through the enemy position, while the other MS broke away from the melee with the First Fleet at the shortest distance and began to carry out the diversion mission.

Lear's previous rhetoric has come true to penetrate the strongest point of the Federation's defense.

Because of this, the pilots who disobeyed the order to stand with Lear have fallen into a general frenzy, and the illusion of their omnipotence after completing difficult tasks has made them feel that following Lear is the right choice.

Now we don't even pay attention to Reybier.

When Lear led a large number of MS to break through the line of defense of the First Fleet of the Federation Army, it was impossible for him to immediately attack the line of the Second Fleet with this unformed and chaotic force.

The reorganization of the troops, the formation of simple formations, and the overall situation on the battlefield - especially the engagement between the Second Fleet and the rest of the MS forces - are all urgent things to do.

The reorganization of the troops, fortunately, was not a shielded area of Minovsky particles that could only use light signals, and the pilots were willing to obey Lear's orders because of his dazzling exploits, but it was very easy to carry out.

During the march of the MS troops, Lear made simple adjustments to the troops, and the original whole team defected to maintain the original formation, while those who acted alone were organized into temporary three-plane squads according to the distance, and these squads formed temporary squadrons, and the position of squadron leader Lear was given to those who had some leadership skills in his special forces, and those pilots with the title of officer—especially those belonging to the Philosophical Society.

And the situation of the battlefield, this is not difficult, he handed over this task to a few of his right-hand men, let them confirm the battle situation with the troops, because the main battlefield is not covered by the Minovsky particles, Lear soon learned that the Zeon Army MS troops on both flanks have been greatly reduced in number, so although they have the advantage in the battle, they have not yet achieved a breakthrough.

In the best case, Lear couldn't help but cheer secretly, putting enough pressure on the Federal Army, but he didn't break through the defensive line, and there must be no problem with Rebier's life safety, and then, as long as his troops are invested, he must be able to quickly destroy the defense line of the Second Fleet and force Rebir to retreat.

Although there were some twists and turns along the way, it seemed that the result was not bad.

Seems not bad.

If this is a novel, for the sake of drama, every time the characters in the play start to feel that way, it means another twist.

And usually, such a turn of events doesn't make things better, it only makes things worse.

Just when Lear's nerves relaxed slightly, a 。。。。。。 Unexpected news came through Aina's side.

"Lieutenant," Aina said hesitantly, but Lear was so engrossed in the next battle that he didn't notice it, "There's bad news." ”

"The bad news? What the? Lear asked inexplicably.

"Just as we were fighting, a group of Union fighter planes attacked our ships in the rear," Aina's voice trembled, and of course, Lear didn't notice this, "When we left the Minovsky particle coverage, someone in the back saw the flames of the explosion. ”

"Fighter troops?" Lear suddenly remembered something.

Isn't it the fighter unit that he ordered to ignore?

Sure enough, Aina said, "You may still have the impression that we have seen that unit. ”

Although he ignored them, but who would have thought that there was really no one to intercept that fighter unit, Lear couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he still didn't realize that Aina mentioned to him the reason for the attack of the fighter unit far away in the rear at this time.

"That's really bad news," but it didn't mean much to himself who was already on the front line, so Lear casually asked, "Is the damage serious?" ”

He immediately said: "It shouldn't be particularly serious, it's just a fighter squadron or so, and it won't be able to cope with even an attack of this magnitude。。。。。。。 ”

As he spoke, he suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Why are you talking to me about this, Aina?" ”

A bad premonition arose in his heart, and his tone became anxious without him noticing, "What's going on, Aina?" ”

"Please listen calmly, Lear," Aina's tone was sad, "It's not definitive news, but 。。。。。。 ”

"The location of the explosion is the location of our special fleet battleship。。。。。。"

Lear felt worse than bad, and he seemed to realize what Aina wanted to say, but instinctively didn't want to admit it.

He only felt cold and dizzy, but his skin was hot as if it was about to burn, and his stomach was throbbing with a vertigo-like vomiting sensation that he had never experienced before on MS.

No...... That's right, didn't it mean that it wasn't certain news, and he even hated Aina a little and understood what Aina wanted to say at once.

It would have been nice if he had fainted at this time, and he even had such a sad and shameful idea of escaping.

But in fact, he did not faint, but rather more sober.

“。。。。。。。 The sunken battleship is most likely the Leipzig," Aina added eagerly, after speaking, "However, it is only possible, or it may simply be that he was wrong, yes, he should have been wrong。。。。。。。 ”

Incredibly, Aina's voice grew farther and farther away until Lear couldn't hear it at all.

He was dazed by the same word.

Leipzig.

No, not this one.

Maggie.
