Chapter Twenty-Three: Before the Great War
Just as the Zeon troops watched the last battleship sink in front of them, a beam of light suddenly hit the red MA, turning it into a cloud of sparks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Those Zeon MS who saw this scene immediately exploded and began to frantically look around for traces of the enemy, but they were greeted by a sneak attack from the shadows.
Immediately after that, the Federation forces that arrived from afar also entered the battle, and the remnants of Zeon's MS troops, after resisting for a while, were destroyed in the airspace.
At this point, the convoy of the Zeon transport force was completely wiped out by the sneak attack of the Federal Army. The transports that had lost their protection were captured by the Federation Army and disappeared into the vast space of the universe under the protection of the fleet.
When reinforcements from Fortress Solomon arrived at the scene, all that left them in view was the floating wreckage of a large number of warships and MSs.
The returning Federation fleet was now moving rapidly towards Atlantis, and this time it was the Seventh Fleet that had won another major victory.
Not only did he comprehensively assemble a Zeon convoy, but he also successfully captured 35 transports from the other side. The supplies inside were enough to make the Zeon higher-ups vomit blood.
In the middle of the fleet, in the middle of the fleet is the Pegasus-class assault landing ship No. 4 Arizona's gnaku, and Xiahoulin is floating down from the FA-78-X Dream Demon Gundam.
This time, he piloted the new Gundam airframe, and in the battle, he completely destroyed more than a dozen warships in Zeon's convoy. As well as the MS of a squadron, such a record is probably a situation that has not been seen on either side of the warring at present.
Xia Houlin took off his helmet and began to drink the water handed over by the staff on the side. At the same time, their eyes continued to look at the new mech they had piloted in front of them, and a large number of maintenance personnel were unloading the additional tactical backpack system on the air.
The reason why Xiahou Lin was able to achieve such a surprising result this time was in addition to the advanced performance of the Dream Demon Gundam. The new tactical backpack also contributed to the fact that it is equipped with a high-powered particle cannon, anti-ship missiles, MS-specific missiles and many other weapons.
Relying on these weapons and the excellent concealment performance of the Dream Demon Gundam, Xia Houlin was able to unexpectedly destroy a large number of enemy warships in a very short period of time.
This experimental Gundam is the culmination of technologies from many worlds. Today's battle has amply proven that in this day and age, no MS is its opponent.
"No, Captain, I should call you Major by now. Just received an order from the commander of the fleet, and you were already promoted to major thirty minutes ago. A technician walked up to Xiahoulin and told him the good news with a smile.
Because Xiahou Lin's feats in this battle are indeed outstanding, the results of annihilating an entire Zeon fleet by one person have undoubtedly become the king of the Federation Army.
"yes, it's just luck this time. Dr. Marcos, are you still satisfied with the battle data of the Dream Demon Gundam? Xia Houlin asked, Dr. Marcos was the technician in charge of debugging the Gundam with the ship. The other party is in the Meteor Research Institute, and he is also one of Qiu Yue's right-hand men.
This battle was the first actual battle of the Dream Demon Gundam, so Xiahou Lin was also more concerned about the collection of actual combat data. Because a lot of advanced technology data is something that you may be able to use in the future.
In fact, although Xiahoulin and his party served on both the Zeon and the Federation respectively, they participated in the One Year War in different ways. But at the moment, they are completely collecting new technologies in this world, and at the same time experimenting with the technologies they have collected with the various resources of the warring parties, and taking advantage of the opportunity to integrate them.
"Major, I can't help but admire your piloting skills. The combat data is simply amazing. These programs will be re-edited and installed on the rest of our army's airframes. In order to increase the combat effectiveness of our MS. Dr. Marcos said with an excited smile, because of Xiahoulin's superb driving skills, he has discovered the extreme data of many technologies of this machine to the fullest.
Especially in terms of speed, this Dream Demon Gundam has the latest magnetic coating technology, and the ultra-high acceleration is not something that ordinary people's bodies can bear. And so far, only Xiahoulin can control it.
"That's fine, as long as it can increase our combat effectiveness. By the way, are you looking for me for something? Xia Houlin remembered the main task of this doctor, which was to analyze the actual combat data of the body at the first time. He should be quite busy now, logically.
"Look at my memory, the captain wants me to inform you. Said that I want you to fly the MS in an hour to prepare for the escort mission, then I won't bother you. With that, Dr. Marcus turned and floated towards the Dream Demon Gundam.
"Escort mission, do you need me to do this too?" Xia Houlin felt unclear about this mission, so he was the ace driver of the Federation Army no matter how he said it. Now to be a guard, is there some important person coming?
….
In the colonial satellite of Atlantis, the garrison of the Federation Army is now very lively. Because this ambush of the Seventh Fleet was too successful, at the cost of the loss of two MSs, a Zeon fleet was annihilated. In addition, a large number of transport ships were captured and a lot of supplies were seized.
Among these materials, there are even several cutting-edge experimental machines in the Zeon field. The MS-08TX Ivlit, the MS-15 Strongman, and the MS-14 Marine Warrior are among the trophies.
For such a harvest, the military and the people at the Meteor Research Institute were of course very excited. These bodies give them a better idea of the current progress of Zeon in MS development.
Unlike the bustling research institutes and ports, in the laboratories of the Seventh Fleet. Lieutenant General Diamm, from the Federal Headquarters, is giving the latest combat orders at the moment.
Vice Admiral Diamm pointed to a huge electronic map and exclaimed to all the officers of the Seventh Fleet: "The Seventh Fleet will be on standby near Earth orbit on November 7 with the fleet sent by the Luna. The large electromagnetic railgun will launch a precision strike directly from outer space against the Zeon army entrenched in Odessa, and then the ground forces will continue to attack the remnants of Zeon and completely annihilate it in this area.
After completing the bombardment of the Odessa Zeon base, the large electromagnetic railgun will continue to bombard the main bases of the Zeon Army in Europe and Africa. Weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness as much as possible and provide strong support for the subsequent sweeping operations.
Your first priority is to secure the fortress's weapons, and this will be the prelude to a great Federation counteroffensive, and we will work to defeat Zeon from now on. ”
After listening to Lieutenant General Diamm's words, the federal officers present all revealed a long-awaited battle intent in their eyes.
In the past six months, although the Federation Army has gradually regained its strength, and gradually launched a counterattack on Zeon. But the scale is too small to inflict a heavy blow on the other party.
Now that the Federation is finally about to launch a major counteroffensive, it means that the time for a decisive battle is approaching. It's time to give Zeon the most violent counterattack.
Looking at the eager eyes of the officers below, Lieutenant General Diamm showed a look of satisfaction. The morale of the Seventh Fleet is strong, and it is indeed the strongest combat power of the Federation Space Fleet at present.
After a slight pause, Lieutenant General Diamm spoke again: "This battle is very important, as long as we can win, the forces sent by Zeon to Earth will be wiped out. In this way, the opponent's strength will be greatly weakened. Of course, if the battle fails, then we will obviously be extremely disadvantaged to the inhabitants.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am not exaggerating. These are the new MAs developed by the Zeon Earth Dispatch, a large weapon with weapons of mass destruction that can easily take down our fortresses and inflict massive damage on large forces.
If Zeon is allowed to continue to produce these MAs, the battle situation on the ground will become very dangerous, so after the start of this campaign, the first target of the large electromagnetic railgun is the fortress and base where the Zeon troops are assembled.
One is to destroy as much of Zeon's living force as possible in the base, and the other is also to destroy the retreat of the other party's escape universe. This time, we will never allow any of Zeon's troops to escape back into space....."
While Lieutenant General Diamm continued to explain the various tasks of the battle to everyone, Xiahoulin turned his attention to the MA of Zeon on the screen.
The MA in the picture is actually the MA Apsalas, an unofficial organism that was once a flash in the pan in history. Because of the butterfly effect brought by Xia Houlin and others, this experimental MA has now been copied by various Zeon ground bases and used in the offensive against the Earth Federation Army.
Now it seems that the threat of this thing is really big enough, otherwise the Federation Army would not have mentioned this weapon so emphatically.
"It seems that the battle of Odessa is still going on as scheduled, but the strength of both sides is much stronger than in the original history, and it is really hard to say who will die this time." Xiahou Lin thought so in his heart, because at present, in the universe, there are still Zeon troops with an advantage.
The requirement for the Battle of Odessa was that the fleet would use large electromagnetic railguns in Earth orbit to carry out orbital bombardment, so that the fleet would inevitably assemble.
However, as long as the Federation fleet is massively assembled, Zeon will never miss the opportunity to annihilate the opponent. What is certain is that this battle will be a fierce head-on battle between your fleet and the Zeon fleet.
Even with such advanced equipment as the Dream Demon Gundam now, Xia Houlin did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to survive 100% of the large-scale MS melee.
But the current situation is imperative, in the battle against Zeon, his ace driver must appear on the front line.
