683 Dust Fight
"Well done!" The desert tiger quickly recovered from its surprise. "Aisha, it's time to move!"
"Yes."
Rakko's feet quickly changed from quadruped to tracked, while the propulsion engine on his back was fully operational. In the blink of an eye, Rako's speed skyrocketed to its maximum. While moving at this extremely fast speed, a huge sandstorm was also swept away by Rako's violent movement for half a day. Billowing sand and dust rose into the air, and Rakko's figure disappeared in the middle of it in just a few breaths. As the light from Rako's single eye completely disappeared into the billowing dust, the VF-25, which was hovering back and forth using the sun's blind spot, also lost its sight.
"Dust? Well done. Graham looked at the growing sand and couldn't help but praise. Faced with an irreparable disadvantage, the desert tiger had just thought of using the address to create favorable conditions for him in just a few breaths. He is worthy of being called a "desert tiger".
But even the view in front of me was obscured by the billowing dust. Graham remained unmoved, still keeping his fighting spirits high. Weak opponents, he has no interest. It was only because of the order to protect the Archangel that he had to choose to attack. But now, this regret has been remedied. Now before his eyes, a strong enemy has appeared.
"Is that you? Desert Tigers. After circling half a circle, the VF-25 raised its nose again and quickly increased its altitude. Since the other party used artificial sandstorms to cover his tracks, there was no need for Graham to risk being ambushed and rashly lower his altitude.
The sand dust was raised frantically, and from a distance, it looked like a miniature version of the sandstorm, which was particularly eye-catching. As the two sides in the war, one side uses the terrain to create opportunities and disappear. The other side is reluctant to risk lowering the altitude and trying to be ambushed. For a moment, the battle, which should have been fierce, was deadlocked. Perhaps the end of this battle will only depend on the patience of both sides.
At the same time, on the other side, in addition to the VF-25, which was in a stalemate with Lako, the area around the Archangel, which was the main battlefield, was even more involved in fierce battles. The five Baku, with their rather tacit coordination and just the right formation, caused considerable trouble for the Archangel. What's more, at this time, there were not only five Baku fighting on the Archangel, but not far away there were two land warships of the Barterfield team, as well as Zaut on board, and even the radar of the Archangel detected the signals of the Duel Gundam and the Storm Gundam.
Aki Lulu, who was listening to the report, gritted her teeth, and after a quick calculation, she shouted, "Captain." ”
"Say!" The battle was fierce, and Maliu didn't care about anything, so she said directly.
"I'd suggest that the Strike Gundam deal with those Baku. In this way, the Archangel can concentrate more on dealing with enemy land warships. ”
"What about the VF-25? And what about the Airlord? ”
"The VF-25 is engaged with the enemy's captain, and although the Air Fighter continues to harass the enemy's land warships, it cannot cause great trouble to the enemy in a short period of time with its single firepower." Bucky Lulu quickly explained the situation in front of her.
Marlu frowned, and after a few moments, she agreed to Bucky Lulu's suggestion. "Enhance the barrage to create an opportunity for the Strike Gundam to return to Gnaku to change equipment. Fast!! ”
So, under the orders of Bucky Lulu, Kira, who had received the order, gritted her teeth, saw the opportunity, and returned to Gnaku in danger. Before the Strike Gundam could return to its position, the long-awaited robotic arm unloaded its shelling equipment, which had run out of energy, and replaced it with an air combat equipment with plenty of energy.
"Kira, is it okay for the Strike Gundam to change to Air Combat equipment?" Mirialia asked, a little worried. In her opinion, compared to artillery equipment, air combat equipment seems to be a bit lacking in firepower.
"It's fine. Miriaria. I saw it in Major Graham's actions just now. When it comes to dealing with Baku, mobility is more important than firepower. Kira took a breath and soothed her tense nerves, then said slowly. For Kira now, he has not really faced the battle directly, and he is extremely difficult to face this fierce battle, and his mental burden is particularly heavy. After all, compared to Kira, who struggled all the way and struggled in battle in the original book, the current Kira has lost too much combat experience that she should have under the mediation of Aldesia and Graham. can persist to this extent at the moment, probably relying on the invisible and intangibles aura of the protagonist.
The Strike Gundam, which has been refurbished, is attacking again.
This time, Kira followed Bucky Lulu's order and directly found the five Baku that were scurrying back and forth around the Archangel, waiting for an opportunity to attack. As soon as the menacing Strike Gundam appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of Baku, who was besieging the Archangel. The rest of the development goes without saying. Before launching the attack, the Desert Tiger specifically told his subordinates that when they found out that the Strike Gundam was leaving the vicinity of the Archangel and found them, they should immediately abandon the Archangel and concentrate on dealing with the Strike Gundam.
As the saying goes, the man is cut down before the horse, and the thief is the first to capture the king. The VF-25, which posed a huge threat, had been dragged by the desert tiger himself. The only ones left to be menacing are the Strike Gundam and the new fighter Airmaster. For the Strike Gundam, it is natural that the most elite Baku troops under Tiger himself will deal with it. And the new fighter was handed over to Zaut who remained on the mothership to deal with, and it is believed that relying on strong anti-aircraft firepower, even if the new fighter has excellent combat power, it will not be able to make any effective attack for a while.
As a result, the Strike Gundam, which had just landed, was immediately overwhelmed by a barrage of missiles before it could gain a foothold. With a roaring explosion, the shield-holding Gundam burst backwards through the billowing smoke and quickly left the area that had already been locked.
But then, the enemy didn't leave any extra events for Gundam to strike at and Kira to regroup. Because when the desert tigers were arranging their attack plans, they repeatedly emphasized that once they started, they must leave no room for anything, not even the slightest time, and not keep the opponent, otherwise they will only die. Although the subordinates did not take the Desert Tiger's admonition seriously, out of admiration and trust in the captain, these proud Baku pilots skillfully and tacitly unleashed wave after wave of attack towards the Strike Gundam, like waves crashing on the shore.
The shield in Gundam's hand had already been blown to pieces by the continuous missile attack. In order to dodge the seemingly endless missile attacks that were one after another, Kira could only subconsciously adopt the strategy of shooting at high speed to confront the enemy. But as mentioned earlier, the enemy is not one-on-one, but five-on-one.
Even if the current Strike Gundam has adopted a tactical strategy that is correct, it is extremely weak in the face of a far outnumber of enemies.
Relying on the cover of the undulating sand dune terrain around it, Baku, which was converted into a tracked march, shuttled between the dunes at great speed, constantly launching waves of attacks. Missiles and electromagnetic cannons are constantly hitting the Gundam in the middle of the Baku crowd like a wave.
Kira gritted her teeth and looked nervously at the back and forth of Baku on the screen, the cockpit being ravaged back and forth by the shockwave from the aftermath of the explosion.
"You can't just get beaten like that." Kira thought to herself. Foot moves, pedals, putters straight to low. With the thrusters in full swing, taking advantage of the smoke and dust that rose from the explosion caused by the attack of the Baku people around the Strike Gundam, the Strike Gundam flew directly into the sky and quickly left the ground, the area ruled by Baku.
As the height increases rapidly, the field of view of the Strike Gundam expands. The sand dunes of Baku's naturally hidden terrain have become very small, giving you an unobstructed view of Baku hiding behind the dunes.
At this point, there is no need to say anything. The Strike Gundam directly grabbed the beam rifle in his hand and launched a fierce attack on a Baku not far away. Although Baku had expected this, there were some surprises. I saw that the Baku, which was locked by the Strike Gundam, was accidentally hit by a beam from the Strike Gundam and burst the missile launcher on its back. In the violent explosion of ammunition, the Baku was lucky enough to burst out of the blast area with scars and billowing smoke, but all it had on it were the two beam swords mounted on the head.
"Did you escape?" Kira was a little surprised when she realized that her attack had only inflicted heavy damage on her enemies. However, Kira didn't have much time to sigh, and at the moment when the scarred Baku approached his companion, the remaining four well-ammo and intact Baku immediately joined forces to attack the Strike Gundam flying in mid-air.
Missiles, and missiles again. After the last baku, which was still carrying a missile launcher, fired all the remaining ammunition in one go, he immediately released the restraint of the missile launcher on its back and let it catapult into the open space on the other side. The tragic situation from his companions made the heart of the pilot of this Baku tense for a while. If it weren't for his teammates' desperate escape, plus some luck, I'm afraid it would have been his turn now. As a result, the Baku plane immediately emptied all the missiles and went into battle.
Flying all over the sky, the oncoming missiles made Kira scramble for a while. You must know that most of the battles Kira has participated in before have been one-on-one battles, and other harsh battles have been rounded out by Aldesia and Graham. Therefore, this scene in front of her was the first time Kira had experienced.
Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate! After losing her shield, Kira's first reaction was to increase the speed of the Strike Gundam. Next, he relied on his instincts to attack the missile as much as he could, destroying it.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Several missiles were destroyed by the Gundam fire, and the ensuing detonation also detonated the missiles that followed. In the billowing smoke caused by the explosion, there seemed to be no shadow of a missile attack. Just as Kira was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the movement of the Strike Gundam suddenly froze, and a violent vibration instantly swept through the cockpit. In that shaky vision, Kira saw several missiles burst out of the billowing smoke.
"Not good!" At this moment, Kira could clearly see the outline of the missile's warhead.
