It's tricky.

As the Federation Flying Team began to scatter in all directions, Lear realized that it had hit a hard nail.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the Fourth Mobile Fleet with the most rich combat experience in the Federal Space Force, if the rookies under his command are piloting the same body as them, at least half of his subordinates will be killed or injured in the intensive assault just now.

With the keen sense of the enemy's captain's decisive change of tactics, and the other pilots who carried out the orders like a cloud, Lear couldn't help but feel that his luck was not good.

But after all, his side has the advantage of body performance, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, the federal flying team is just a dying struggle.

In this case, I also have a plan on my side.

He quickly activated the light signal, and under his command, Zeon's MS troops stood their shields in front of each other, back to back, according to the principle of proximity, so that each person had half the area to defend alone.

They were as ready as hoplite phalanx infantry against light cavalry.

Of course, this is not the best formation, the best option should be a team of three, each responsible for a third of the space, and this tactic can also be used when fighting in a single squad.

However, in the actual exercise, Lear found that the three-three tactics are not very skilled pilots are difficult to cooperate with, because the three-three tactics do not mean that they can stay in place, in that case, they are simply let people be used as targets, and the essence of this set of tactics is to keep moving while always protecting each other's backs with their companions.

Using this tactic to match three people means that the pilot must always be careful not to let his actions - including maneuvering, avoiding interference with the other two companions, or leaving them with the door open behind their backs, which is more difficult than pairs, and Lear has to compromise and practice two-person team tactics.

On the Zeon side, there were 29 pilots, forming a team of 14 fighters, and Lear chose to become a guerrilla because of his organic and technical superiority and the distraction of the battle.

Just as the Zeon MS forces were forming a formation, the Federation Army's detour was also completed, and the wolves formed by the fighters attacked the Zeon Tortoise Shell.

It was still a missile and a cannon strafing, and the Swordfish, which were not well armed, had no other means of attack, but this time, the Federation pilots who understood Zagu's maneuverability once again reduced the distance of launching missiles, and they began to fire missiles at a distance of less than 30 kilometers, and no longer reduced their flight speed to ensure shooting accuracy, but kept cruising at cruising speed, and sped up and turned sharply when approaching the Zeon Army MS!

As the nose of the aircraft changed direction, the tongue of fire composed of four 25mm guns swept towards the Zeon MS like a whip, but Zagu, reinforced by MS shields, was not at all worthwhile, and they maintained their formation, Zagu machine guns fired at the Federation pilots like anti-aircraft batteries.

The 25mm cannon hit the shield made of super tensile steel and left bullet holes, some of which can penetrate, and some only leave a deep bullet mark, but even those cannon bullets that penetrate the shield can no longer cause damage to the MS, because even if it penetrates the shield, it is not facing the human body, but the same super tensile steel material, which is only thicker than the shield MS armor!

Aside from causing a few rookies to scream when they saw the attack, the Swordfish's cannon did no damage.

On the contrary, the missile they fired achieved a small result, and an overly nervous Zeon pilot froze in place, wasting time to dodge, and as a result, the missile crashed into the lower part of the shield, sweeping away half of the shield and causing serious damage to the MS leg behind the shield.

Lear looked at it and thought it was okay, when the MS performed the AMBAC maneuver in space, it mainly relied on the attitude control nozzle and the upper body, but the degree of failure of one leg was still in an acceptable range.

But this guy will definitely not be able to participate in the next battle.

Overall, the situation of the MS troops on the Zeon side is quite good, and they have achieved 4 results in this round of engagements at a slight cost, and the Federation Flying Team has lost almost half of its combat effectiveness.

And this advantage will continue, not only because of the advantage that Zeon's rookie pilots are starting to find some confidence and the feeling in their hands is back, but more importantly, the Federation Flying Team is running out of ammo!

The 25mm cannon on board the FF-S3 Swordfish fighter has been determined to be insufficient damage to the MS, and their most threatening weapon is actually airborne missiles, but the Swordfish can only carry six missiles, and they have already fired two missiles in the two rounds of engagement, which means that they only have two missiles left, which is only enough for them to carry out one more attack.

Francis Gabreski knew that the tide was turning, and they couldn't have achieved better results in their next attack.

Although his heart was full of anger and unwillingness, he was not ready to let his subordinates die, this was not a mature commander's choice, so he still forced himself to resist his impulse and sent a signal to his subordinates to retreat.

Losing more than half of their losses, they chose to retreat, and no one could condemn them, they were much better than the ground army who shouted for fire support after a few people were killed by robbers.

Despite this, he habitually searched around for his target, and he gritted his teeth, hoping to get at least one down, otherwise what would be the face of the Fourth Mobile Fleet Flying Team?

However, the Zeon MS troops carried out Lear's orders very well, and even with such an advantage, they did not rush into pursuit, but fired long-range point fire with Zagu machine guns.

There was no chance, and Gabriski decided not to do any more entanglement.

He piloted the fighter to increase his speed, preparing to retreat after opening up enough distance from the Zeon MS troops.

However, it backfired, he was not ready to entangle, but there were still people who were ready to pester him.

Lear accelerated.

Zagu Thunderlight's propulsion system, which is far more powerful than the Swordfish, began to exert power, even if it was compared with all the MS longitudinal comparisons of the entire one-year war, it was outstanding, and even the thrusters second only to the cruiser class provided enough power for Thunderlight at the beginning of the war.

He had his eye on the specially painted captain of the flying team.

Francis Gabreski understands that he is being targeted.

"Warning, the characteristics of an unknown heat source that is rapidly approaching have been discovered, and it is recommended to avoid it as soon as possible!!"

The alarm signal in the cockpit, which had not sounded for many years, began to quarrel, causing the nervous Gabreski to scold: "Why don't I know? Want you to say? ”

The sound was so loud that Gabrisky was determined that if he could go back on this flight, he would force the technicians to tear down the damn garbage system!

As he thought, Zagu Thunderlight was already approaching less than 10 kilometers.

"Shhhh This monster!! ”
