Chapter 29: The Battle of Odessa (End)
This Federation army, which appeared on the side of the Zeon fleet, caught the opponent by surprise with ferocious firepower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAlthough the incoming battleship forces were attacked, the enemy's artillery bombardment was very accurate.
Almost every time the fleet fired a salvo, a battleship would be blown out in the Zeon fleet in the distance. The Zeon fleet, which had been attacked in this way, could no longer advance as desperately as before.
Because if it continues to rush towards the Federal Task Force in the previous direction, the Zeon fleet will probably be sunk by all the enemies attacking from the flank.
As a last resort, some of the warships in the Zeon fleet had to stop at this time, and began to shoot while turning to send out MS troops to block the incoming Federation forces.
Suddenly, directly in front of the Zeon fleet, dense naval artillery fire came at this time. Countless thick beams of light pierced through the cosmic space in this way, constantly flying and showing terrifying destructive power.
The salvo firepower of all the ships of the task force was concentrated, and the density was already overwhelming the counterattack fire of the Zeon fleet. The Zeon fleet, which was attacked on both sides, was once again sunk on the spot.
Affected by the battle situation of the forward fleet, the morale of Zeon's MS troops was also shaken. On the contrary, the MS troops of the Federation Army are becoming more and more courageous and continue to counterattack.
At this time, the railgunners let out another roar of shelling, and a mass projectile rushed towards the far east of the earth at an extremely fast speed, like a meteor. Another Zeon base will be wiped off the map.
Seeing that nothing could be done, the Zeon fleet commander decisively abandoned the mission. Immediately hit all the remaining forces and began to break through to the side where there was no enemy interception.
At this moment, the Federation Army did not carry out excessive pursuit operations, because although the Federation Army won the final victory in the previous fierce battle, the losses of the task force were also very serious. More than a third of the battleships were damaged by long-range artillery fire, and more than half of the MS were in a state of destruction.
What's more, after a fierce battle, everyone is very tired, and there is no possibility of continuing the pursuit.
Vice Admiral Diamm, commander of the Federal Task Force, finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the report from the battlefield. He didn't want to go through this kind of battle again, because the process was too dangerous.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Federation fleet that disrupted the Zeon offensive, it was unknown whether the task force would be able to hold the railgun positions.
This time for the Battle of Odessa, the most elite fleet of the Federation Army in the universe can be said to have paid a lot of price, and the valuable MS pilots died a lot in the fierce battle.
Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Diamm felt heartache, these MS pilots who died in the battle were veterans with rich combat experience. It's not so easy to train a batch.
"Order the troops not to pursue and prepare to rescue the survivors." After Vice Admiral Diamm gave the order, he looked at the railgun ship in the distance. At this moment, there was a mass bullet again, and it was fired at high speed, speeding towards the base of the Zeon Army on Earth.
At the same time, the federal army in the battlefield began to search for the wounded and survivors on both sides of the enemy and the enemy for medical treatment according to the orders of Lieutenant General Diamm.
Soon, the Federation fleet, which suddenly appeared on the side of the Zeon fleet, successfully rendezvoused with the task force, further strengthening the strength of the Federation warship force.
Lieutenant General Diamm also knew the origin of the other party at this time, and it turned out that they were all small detachments that carried out attacks on the Zeon transport line in various places.
After learning about the battle of Odessa, these detachments spontaneously assembled and rushed here for reinforcements.
So at the most critical moment, this small temporary fleet dealt a heavy blow to the Zeon fleet, forcing the other party to finally fail.
With the support of this new force, Lieutenant General Diam was finally able to feel a lot more at ease. Even if Zeon sends troops to attack again, it will be able to hold on for a while.
Soon, the MS units began to return to their own motherships one after another, and the Dream Demon Gundam piloted by Xia Houlin was no exception.
However, when the Dream Demon Gundam entered the battleship's Gnaku, the personnel of the maintenance team couldn't help but gasp when they saw the MS.
The armor of the Dream Demon Gundam is covered with various scratches, and his left arm has been completely reimbursed. Several posture jets on the back have also been deformed.
This was obviously an extremely fierce battle, otherwise with the defense and mobility of the Dream Demon Gundam, it would not have been possible to be injured like this.
When they saw the driver come out of the body intact, the personnel of the maintenance team immediately took action. began to rush to repair the MS in front of him, after all, before the battle ended, no one knew how long the battle would last. Maybe this machine will soon come in handy.
After Xiahou Lin got off the Dream Demon Gundam, he took off the helmet he was wearing. Immediately, the sweat on his head was scattered in the space of the battleship, and one by one was very conspicuous.
At this moment, Xia Houlin felt unprecedented fatigue, and he rarely experienced such a feeling. Even if the body has been strengthened by the Ancestor Virus, it can't stand the side effects of the previous high-intensity battle.
The two Zeon ace drivers who had fought against Xia Houlin before were simply unbelievably skilled in controlling the MS. If it weren't for the excellent performance of the Dream Demon Gundam and the strengthening of the body's resistance to high G-power, I am afraid that it would be impossible for him to survive the cooperation of the other two.
In the course of the battle, there were several times when the Dream Demon Gundam piloted by Xia Houlin was almost hit by the opponent. Although he wants to rely on the performance of the body to kill one of them.
However, the two Zeon drivers cooperated too skillfully, and Xia Houlin had no chance to take advantage of it at all, so the two sides fought a tie.
"The ace drivers of this world are really powerful, I used to underestimate these people. You'll have to be careful next time, or you'll really be able to leave this little life here. While thinking about these things, Xia Houlin took the water handed by the staff on the side, and floated towards the pilots' lounge while drinking.
In the time that followed, Zeon did not send any more troops to attack the task force. At this time, the war situation on the earth has also entered the final stage.
Over the next 24 hours, the orbital assault ships carried out a total of 16 strikes against Zeon Fortress in various locations.
The Zeon Ground Dispatch Army's large fortified bases in Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe were all destroyed. More than half of the ground forces were wiped out along with the base under the orbital attack.
The Zeon ground forces, which had suffered heavy losses, were clearly in a state of chaos with a paralyzed chain of command. The remnants of the garrison in various places had to fight separately to defend against the incoming Federation army.
The Zeon Army, which was scattered all over the place and lacked mutual support, was encircled and wiped out one by one by the large forces of the Federation Army. Because of the threat of orbital strikes, the Zeon army did not dare to gather a large number of troops for the defense of the fortress.
As a result, in the battle of movement, the Zeon troops supported by the fortress were lost. In the face of an absolutely superior federal army, it is simply impossible to form an effective resistance.
The federal task force that completed the strike mission also left the earth's orbit as soon as possible, returned safely to the Luna-2 base, and began large-scale repairs.
Over the next three days, the Federation launched a massive offensive against Zeon's forces in various locations. Reports of the reconquest of the lost territories began to come from all over the country, and the Zeon army in Europe was wiped out, except for a few who fled to Africa.
In the end, except for a small number of Zeon troops in West Asia who fled to the universe through the spaceport, the main force of the Zeon army on Earth has already existed in name only. Some remnants of the army continued to wage guerrilla warfare in some areas of Asia and Africa with complex environments.
On November 10, UC0079, the Federal Army won the Battle of Odessa. Ninety percent of the Zeon Army's ground forces were wiped out, and the remaining small part escaped to space.
Now that the large-scale battle on Earth is over, the forces of the Federation Army have begun to sweep through the remnants of the Zeon Army in various places, striving to completely eliminate all unstable factors.
Seeing that the ground battle no longer had any impact on the overall situation, the top brass of the Federation Army began to set their sights on the universe. After all, Zeon's home is in the universe, and only when he can fight there can he completely destroy his opponent.
Then Gabro began to make rapid adjustments, and all the war resources began to be diverted to the Space Fleet, because the next thing is the key to victory.
The Zeon side suffered a devastating blow due to the Earth Dispatch Army, and both troops and personnel suffered heavy losses. Combined with the troops lost in the previous orbital reinforcements, Zeon is now on the defensive in terms of the universe.
Having lost the initiative on the battlefield and no longer capable of launching a large-scale offensive, Zeon quickly began to strengthen their home defenses and several large forts, preparing to defend against the incoming Federation forces.
After removing the threat of the Zeon Army on Earth, the Federation Army immediately began to take off one after another from the spaceports in various places to the universe.
And with the Luna-2 fortress as a base, the regrouping of the space fleet began. Gradually, the huge fleet of the Federation began to reappear in the universe.
At the same time, the Seventh Fleet, led by the Seventh Fleet, continued to sabotage the transport lines throughout Zeon during this time, further depleting the enemy's war potential.
