Chapter 11: Bloodstained Valentine's Day
Chapter 11 of the first freshman, Blood-stained Valentine's Day
"Listen to me, Carter." I said in a slow, deep voice, "When the fight starts again, you all try to hide as far back as you can." If you encounter an enemy siege, don't fight hard, lead it all to my side, and leave it to me to solve. ”
"How can that be!" Although I couldn't see the expression, I could imagine Carter's shock: "Although your skills are very good, you can't deal with so many people." Leonard, we're all sad about Benjamin's death, but you need to be calmer. ”
"Don't say any more, just do as I say." I yelled hoarsely.
"Leonard!"
"Say no more." I choked up in a hoarse voice and said, "Please, I really don't want anyone to die anymore, please......"
"Okay then, but you don't have to be pushy, you know?" Carter solemnly admonished me again.
The previous battle caused both sides to suffer a lot of losses, and the warships on the periphery of the Earth United Army suffered heavy losses, and the formation was also a little scattered. And the MS troops of the Zaft army also lost almost thirty percent, especially the first line of defense, which was almost completely annihilated.
After that, both sides had a tacit understanding that they did not continue the war, and the United Earth Army cleaned up the scattered formation and rearranged it into a cone formation, apparently intending to crush the other side with a more violent assault. The Zaft Army recalled the MS in batches for resupply, and shrank the defensive line, dividing the remnants of the first line of defense evenly between the second and third lines.
After four hours of silence, marked by the advance of the United Earth Army, the flames of war and gunpowder once again filled the battlefield.
***************************************************
I remember in my previous life, when I entered the military academy on the first day, the instructor who only had one arm and one leg left told me clearly: on the battlefield, a person can't do anything at all, and those so-called heroes are all bullshit. Under the rain of bullets that may kill at any time, a person's life is as insignificant as an ant, even if it is a strong soldier, there is only one word in the face of crowd tactics - death!
It was much later that I learned that the instructor was a super combat hero who had won two special merits, seven first-class merits, dozens of second-class merits, and countless third-class merits, but he lost a hand and a leg when he made his last special merit.
I don't know what kind of terrible situation that tough instructor encountered in the final battle, but now I can deeply understand the helplessness he felt at that time.
The MA flying in the sky can't fight like locusts, and now I have to pay attention to not only my own situation, but also help the rest of the team to solve the siege at any time. In such a situation, I can't wait to give full play to my 120 percent potential, pick up the MMI-M8A3 heavy assault machine gun, and fire wildly, tearing the MA in front of me to shreds. But even with my frantic attacks, two of our MSs were shot down by the enemy, but Carter, Jim, and Campbell were still safe.
At this moment, a squad of more than 200 meters to our left was smashed by a burst of concentrated fire from the enemy fleet, and only one MS was quickly torn to pieces by the wolf-like MA. Although a reserve team soon plugged the gap, one of the enemy's carriers took the opportunity to launch a large number of missiles.
Carter asked me on the communication channel, "Leonard, should we intercept those missiles, and we guess they will hit all the way to Junius 7." ”
I glanced at it and said, "No, there aren't a lot of those missiles, and the satellite's defensive weapons will stop them, and even if you hit one or two, you won't be able to do a lot of damage." But we should be careful here, the enemy's offensive is getting more and more fierce, you must not be careless. ”
When Carter saw me say this, he didn't say anything more, after all, I was telling the truth. Although Unius 7 is an agricultural satellite, it is no problem to stop a few missiles with its own defense system.
The tide of battle continued to develop, and after nearly four hours of entanglement, the advantage gradually tilted in favor of Zaft's side. The commander of the United Earth Force is undoubtedly a very experienced guy, and he can use all kinds of formations to solve all kinds of dangers one by one in the face of unfamiliar MS troops. But he ignored a problem that usually seemed insignificant, that is, the difference in physical strength between the adjuster and the natural person. Four hours of high-intensity combat is an extreme test for anyone. In the beginning, natural people can still fight bravely with the determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat, but when this momentum passes, fatigue gradually appears. The members of the Zaft army are all the elites of the adjusters, although the battle of this intensity is a little intense, but there is still a long way to go from exhaustion, seeing that the United Earth Army is no longer good, they immediately rose up and beat the water dogs, forcing the United Earth Army to retreat for hundreds of kilometers before stabilizing its position.
Just when I felt that I could breathe a sigh of relief, a very ominous premonition suddenly passed through my heart. Among the special abilities that Old Man Cameron left for me, intuition is one of the most useful, and a clear feeling like this one must be that something very serious must have happened.
"Junius 7!" I suddenly remembered the missiles I had just released.
Damn, there must be something that hasn't been noticed.
I anxiously wondered if it was too late to go back, and a blinding white light illuminated the space behind us as if it were day.
Countless chaotic exclamations rang out in the communication channel.
"No-"
"That's the direction of Junius 7."
"Nuke! The scum of the United Earth Army actually used a nuclear bomb. ”
"I'm going to fight them."
“…… No...... No...... Mom, Dad, don't die. ”
"It's not true, who's going to tell me it's not true."
"Calm down, damn it, calm me down, we're still fighting, do you want to die."
However, the destruction of Junius 7 brought more than that, the turbulence caused by the explosion raged uncontrollably in the universe, and some heavy warships that were not fast in the rear were all swept into it without exception, and turned into fragments of space junk in an instant. Although the MS troops in front did not suffer much loss, their morale immediately dropped to freezing, coupled with the loss of fire support from the rear fleet, in the face of the sudden and extremely rapid counteroffensive launched by the Earth Coalition Army, they were rushed to pieces after only a few rounds of resistance.
Damn, were those missiles mixed with nuclear bombs just now?
I tugged at my hair in pain, desperately trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall. Junius7 was ruined like this, but there were nearly 250,000 lives on it.
Before I had time to continue to regret it, the fierce counterattack of the United Earth fleet suddenly brought me to my senses. I dodged the opponent's attack, and thought to myself: impossible, after four hours of high-intensity fighting, it is impossible to launch such a fierce attack again with the physical strength of a natural person, and the timing of this counterattack is too good. Linked to the retreat of the Earth Coalition just now, I suddenly had a shock in my mind, that's right, the Combine Force's warships must all be equipped with twice the number of combat personnel, and it is impossible for them to retreat so quickly when they can take turns to rest. The retreat that just pretended to be overwhelmed, the following nuclear bomb attack, and the final counterattack were all a series of tactics by the commander of the Coalition Army, which was really a deep city and a ruthless method.
