042 Nine Deaths
It turned out that because the upper deck of the Osiris was attacked by the enemy, Anton could not find an opportunity to set up a sniper rifle with "100 steps". So he ran to the lower hangar of the Osiris and completed the erection of the sniper rifle in a position that the enemy did not see.
The lower hangar of the Osiris is set to increase the speed of sorties in the universe, where there is no gravity, and there is no difference between the upper and lower hangars. But in the earth environment, the lower side hangar is not very useful. The only exception was when the Red Knight had suppressed Anton on the upper deck earlier, and the men of Team B took him by surprise from the lower hangar in order to save him.
Because it was not in the universe and could not stand on the lower deck in defiance of gravity, Sergeant Anton could only mount his sniper rifle at the door of the hangar, and the angle of fire was very limited. That's why the Osiris had to assume a starboard side to meet the enemy, so that Anton would have more opportunities to shoot.
Although this shot did not sink the "Mykonos Cow", it also frightened the enemy, and the enemy ships tried to retreat. Anton had no reason to let it go, and the second laser he fired completely destroyed the "Mykonos Bull". The crowd roared with joy as it exploded and disintegrated in the air, and the wreckage fell into the sea.
"Surviving compatriots on the Mykonos Bull, listen to my command and attack the Osiris to avenge your comrades!"
Seeing that the "Mykonos Bull" was sunk, the Eagle that had originally belonged to that ship was absorbed by the Medusa and pounced on the Osiris again.
Anton destroyed another one when the enemy charged, but his position was also exposed, the enemy raised their altitude and left Anton's firing angle, and the Medusa Hao was also adjusted to a position where Anton could not snipe, and Anton had to move.
Because the main ship was sunk, the Eagle on the original "Mykonos Cow" attacked the deck of the Osiris and launched hand-to-hand combat. This is extremely detrimental to the defenders on the deck, because even if Bart can suppress the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, the back will be attacked by the enemy in the sky.
"Lin Ao, you go and contain the enemy in the sky!"
Bart gave the order, and Lin Ao rushed towards the enemy hovering in the air. Seeing that the second machine was using a laser rifle, a hawkish pilot thought that melee combat was more beneficial to him, so he pulled out his thermal saber and stabbed Lin Ao. Lin Ao steered the second machine backwards, stowed the laser rifle on its back, took out the long-handled laser axe stored on the inside of the shield, and used the axe to split the enemy's body in half when the enemy was about to approach.
"It's so powerful," Lin Ao sighed, the laser blade of the tomahawk was far larger than he had imagined. He raised his shield and charged at the other Eagles, and when he got closer, he swung his tomahawk in attack, slashing off one of the Eagle's flying devices with a single axe, causing it to lose its balance and fall to the surface.
But then it didn't go so well, Lin Ao approached an enemy, and several others attacked from the flank. Lin Ao tried to retract his tomahawk and draw his gun to fight back, but the enemy slyly approached him at this time, not giving him the space to switch weapons. After several battles, Lin Ao gained no more, and the enemy did not dare to get too close, and their shots were all blocked by shields. The stalemate between the two sides can be regarded as Lin Ao holding back the enemy in the sky.
"Is this the one who killed my brother?" William, the captain of the Medusa, muttered to himself as he snapped his fingers and said to his adjutant, "Tell my ship's fighters not to get entangled with the black mech, and rush towards the Osiris one after another." ”
The HER soldiers who received the order followed the plan, and when the first enemy plane rushed towards the Osiris, Lin Ao did not dare to chase after him, as doing so would turn his back on the enemy. And when the second and third enemy planes rushed towards the Osiris, Lin Ao could not hold back any longer, and he began to pursue the enemy. The enemy was waiting for this moment, several eagles fired at the same time, bullets whistling from all directions, Lin Ao dodged as much as possible, but was still hit.
"Uh-huh!!"
At this time, Lin Ao completely fell into passivity, and he had to control the second machine to return to the Osiris in embarrassment.
Only then did he realize that the battle on the deck was even more intense. There are only three "Lifeguards" left, and although there are only two enemy planes on the deck, if Lin Ao retreats now, the enemy behind him will wipe everyone out.
Lin Ao slammed the pedal, and came with a sudden brake in the air. He glanced at the reserve energy, there was not much left, but now he could only fight.
He swung his tomahawk and tried to fight back, but the enemy was already on guard, and the two Hawks crashed into the deck before the second plane could adjust its stance. One of the enemy planes drew a thermal saber to stab the cockpit of the second plane, but he was repelled by the "Hundred Steps", which had been replaced with regular equipment. Anton said to everyone: "Brothers, we must buy time for the people on the ship to escape!" Lin Ao, I hope you can hold on a little longer, and I will help you escape in the end..."
"No problem."
The second plane stood up, and Lin Ao in the cockpit was already tired and sweaty. He was not a professional soldier and was not obligated to accompany the Osiris to its funeral. No one would resent him even if he escaped now, but Lin Ao only wanted to defend the Osiris for a few more seconds as everyone else did.
The enemy had the upper hand, but stopped the attack, and Captain Shepard knew that this was the enemy's commander to negotiate terms.
Sure enough, Brigadier Commander William of the Medusa publicly broadcast his conditions on the battlefield: "Everyone, you don't have to die here, just give me that black body and its pilot, and I will let you live." ”
"To... I? ”
Lin Ao didn't expect that the other party's condition was to let the Osiris hand him over, and Anton comforted him: "Don't worry, Captain Shepard won't hand you over, now is the right time to delay for everyone to escape." ”
"Give you a minute to think about it."
William said this, but the Medusa's laser cannon was still aimed at the Osiris.
"Don't think about it." Shepard left the captain's seat and let the helmsman Yamaguchi come down and sat down on the helm himself.
"Captain, you are..."
"The others have already gone to the escape pod, you guys should also go and escape, I will live and die with the Osiris!"
"Wait a minute, captain, the enemy seems to have retreated!"
In the direction of the Mediterranean, a formation of five "partner cavalry" in the form of fighters suddenly appeared, led by a red-painted partner cavalry. They approached the Medusa at great speed, fired a round of missiles, flew to a safe distance, and came back again.
"Saved!!"
Jessica and Yamaguchi jumped excitedly, the others on the bridge hugged each other excitedly, and Captain Shepard let go of the rudder with relief. He ordered all crew members to return to their posts and let the Osiris leave the area quickly.
"Captain, which unit saved us?" Jessica asked.
"It should be the Mediterranean-Spartan corps of the new European Union, and I want to thank them afterwards."
…
William, the captain of the Medusa, was urged several times by his adjutant to give the order to retreat to Italy. He swore unwillingly: the next time he encounters the Osiris and the second plane, he will destroy them.
