Chapter 11 The Beginning of the War of Defence

On May 30, somewhere in the secret supply line of the Zeon army, at this moment three Zeon warships were under siege by more than a dozen warships of the Federation Army, and the two groups of MS were even more inextricably killed in the battle. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the field of the battlefield, there are already many wreckages of MS and fighter jets floating around, including Federation and Zeon.

At a distance, a Federal Army sniper unit led by a modified Zagu carrying a large radar was bombarding the Zeon cruiser.

Although these attacks were fired from the MS and were relatively far away, they were no less destructive than the artillery fire of a battleship.

Faced with the suppression of the firepower of the battleships from a distance, the cruisers on the Zeon side had no way to dodge such an attack again. As a result, many positions in the hull of the ship have been blown out of conspicuous holes.

"Well done, Raiden that cruiser on your side still has a main gun firing, can you take it out?" The captain of the sniper unit, who was in charge of the sniper unit, asked a teammate holding an electromagnetic gun on the side at this moment.

At this moment, the Zeon cruiser is still a little far away from this sniper force. It is impossible for an average MS weapon to accurately hit a battleship at a distance at this distance.

Even if the target is large enough, it is not possible, because at the time of the war, the surrounding space is already densely covered with Minovsky particles. However, the electromagnetic pulse gun perfectly solved this problem before the appearance of beam weapons.

"No problem, look at me!" As the words in the communicator came, the next moment, the blue-painted modified Zagu shot an armor-piercing projectile from the electromagnetic gun of the opposing ship in his hand.

A special armor-piercing projectile under electromagnetic acceleration rushed to the target in a flash at a sub-light speed. In less than a second, it hit the turret of the Zeon cruiser with a huge amount of kinetic energy.

The huge kinetic energy instantly pierced through the turret's sturdy armor, causing the already damaged Zeonmsey-class light cruiser to explode again. Then he completely lost his motivation and just stayed where he was.

"Well done, let's sink it together." Just as the captain's words were finished, a steel cannon in front of him had already directly blasted the bridge of the Cypriot-class light cruiser with the heavy electromagnetic cannon on his shoulder, and then fired another fatal shelling at the scarred hull.

Finally, the Cypriot-class light cruiser, in a dazzling explosion, completely turned into a pile of torn wreckage and floated in the middle of the battlefield.

Snipers in the distance, watching the guncanon's powerful firepower. I couldn't help but feel a shock, the power of those two electromagnetic cannons is really not a joke. Compared to the anti-ship electromagnetic gun in the hands of their airframe, the lethality is obviously much stronger.

At this time, another Cypriot-class light cruiser in front of it was also hit by two anti-ship missiles at this moment, and then broke apart in a huge explosion.

At the same time, a completely different fuselage from the Zagu and Gangganon at the scene was moving away from the wreckage of the Seyper-class light cruiser warship at high speed, and rushed at high speed towards the Zeon Sanzibal-class mobile cruiser protected by the rack MS.

Snipers in the distance watched the fuselage after breaking through the fire net of the Sanzibar-class mobile cruiser at high speed. With the missiles he carried with him, he destroyed two more MSs that stood in the way, and then hit the wheelhouse of the cruiser with a heavy bazooka.

With the sudden appearance of the explosion, the last Zeon battleship on the scene was also declared incapacitated. This change also completely shattered the will to fight of the Zeon Army, which was still resisting, and was immediately crushed by the MS troops of the Federal Army.

"The Jie Gang piloted by the captain is really cool, not only is it fast but also has fierce firepower. These Zagu of Zeon can't be compared at all. A sniper looked through the sight and saw the mobile suit called Jiegang piloted by Xia Houlin in the distance, and his eyes showed envy.

And the words of this driver, of course, resonated with the other drivers in the army. As one of the first Federalist pilots to experience MS combat, they all know what a high-performance airframe means on the battlefield.

"Don't be envious, when we go back after the battle, I'm sure we'll have a new mech. Now let's kill all the struggling Zeon offals on the battlefield. "After giving the order, the captain of the sniper unit took the lead in aiming at a Zeon MS that was about to escape.

The destructive power of the ship's electromagnetic gun is an absolutely fatal blow for an MS-class body. Therefore, the MS was instantly torn apart by the huge impact.

After seeing the captain's movements, those Federation snipers began to launch deadly snipers against the Zeon Army.

At this stage of the battle, there was no suspense, and the remaining Zeon troops were quickly wiped out under sniper fire and heavy artillery fire.

When the threat was lifted, the Federation ships quickly approached the Sanzibal-class mobile cruiser that had already destroyed the bridge.

An hour later, the Federation fleet was on its way back to the colony moon. This month's combat mission has ended, and the independent mobile fleet will finally be able to repair for a few days in the coming days.

It has been five months since the fleet was formed, and during that time this small fleet of no more than twenty ships has destroyed more than twelve Zeon ships, captured and destroyed more than forty transports, plus fifty MS.

Such a record is already quite a good result for a small fleet that fights independently. In order to maintain the valuable combat effectiveness of the fleet, the independent mobile fleet, after completing the mission, withdrew to the base for repair, and continued the next battle.

In the hangar of the large transport ship, at this moment, the pilots and soldiers of the Federation Army are surrounding a special trophy.

"What's that, a huge tank?" Everyone looked at the green fuselage with long barrels and tracks captured from the wreckage of the Zeon cruiser, and they all watched and discussed it curiously.

Among the people at the scene, I am afraid that only Xia Houlin knew what this thing was in front of him. It was indeed a weapon developed by the Zeon side before the Year War, and it was also a piece of equipment specifically designed for land warfare.

The YMT-05 "Wolf Fight" tank is an excellent land combat equipment that combines the characteristics of MS and tank. The starting performance is comparable to that of the steel tank developed by the future federation, and it has outstanding performance.

However, the size of the YMT-05 "Wolf Fighting" tank is much larger than that of the average MS, and the total combat weight of 220 tons alone far exceeds the transportation capacity of many conventional transport aircraft, so this also limits the practical performance of this equipment.

This special ground equipment, originally Zeon was intended to produce a batch for ground combat. However, with the feedback of the land test results of the MS-05, the MS has a great advantage in terms of strategy and versatility. This large armored equipment was dismounted by the military.

But with the world, history has changed. The offensive of the Zeon Army, located on the regional front, is not optimistic at the moment. They did not succeed in occupying the industrial areas of North America, as they had done in the original history. Therefore, the possibility of mass local production of equipment in the geosphere is lost.

On the other hand, the Federation Army, with the help of the well-established industrial facilities in North America, began to produce a variety of weapons to support the battlefields of various parts of the earth.

To this end, the Zeon Army began to prepare all the equipment available to it, as long as it was suitable for ground combat, to be sent to the Earth battlefield to fight against the increasingly difficult Federation Army.

From this, it can also be seen that there is a huge gap between Zeon and the Federation in terms of comprehensive national strength. They failed to defeat their opponents in the early stages of the war, and now they have to fall into the most dangerous war of attrition.

After seeing that the trophy was the YMT-05 "Wolf Fighting" tank, Xiahoulin was no longer interested in this body. This thing is a weapon specially used for ground combat, and it is not used at all in space.

As for the steel cannon that was modified by the Meteor Research Institute before, in the previous battle, the combat effectiveness exerted was really impressive.

Qiu Yue and a group of technicians replaced the cannon on the shoulders of the steel cannon with a more powerful electromagnetic cannon. As a result, this medium-range support aircraft has the characteristics of a long-range artillery combat aircraft. Moreover, the lethality brought by the electromagnetic cannon can even be directly used to destroy warships.

Xia Houlin walked to the steel cannon that was being prepared and looked at it, then turned around and walked towards the "Jiegang" that belonged to his own body, which should not have appeared.

In the original history, Jiegang would not be developed by the federal army until more than ten years later, and it would become the MS of the military's large-scale equipment.

However, due to the role of Xiahoulin and Autumn Moon, the technical data of Zeon MS and the scientific research power of Atlantis are used. This body, known as "Jiegang", was born.

Of course, this body is exactly the same as the name and shape of the later RGM-89 Jiegang, and most of the internal mechanical technology is still from this era.

However, this body, known as Jiegang, was designed with Qiuyue's participation. As a result, a number of new technologies have been used, which have completely overwhelmed Zeon's existing Mobile Suits in terms of mobility and flexibility.

And more importantly, according to Xiahoulin's proposal. The Meteor Research Institute has developed external weapon systems such as tactical backpacks for Jiegang. Through these equipment, the combat effectiveness of the body can be improved again.

The small fleet that intercepted Zeon this time was for the purpose of conducting the actual combat test of Jiegang. If the battle turns out well, the Federation Army's independent mobile fleet in Atlantis will be the first to be equipped on a small scale.

Now it seems that the result of this battle is good, and Jiegang has shown excellent combat effectiveness. In addition, the data collection is also very sufficient, and it is believed that after returning to the base, the technicians will be able to improve the body again.

Three hours later, the outgoing fleet returned to the colonial moon of Atlantis. After Xiahoulin and several other MS captains stepped off the battleship, they were summoned to the headquarters conference room along with the battleship commander.

At this moment, in the conference room, Major General Adams (this guy has been promoted because of continuous results) looked at these outstanding commanders under his command, and said to everyone with a rare serious expression: "According to the information sent back by our intelligence officers, the Zeon Army is preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Luna-2 in order to relieve our army from the threat to their logistics supply lines in the universe.

With new weapons and two fleets in force, Gabro asked us to send a fleet to support Luna 2 two days later. ”

After hearing the news, all the officers were a little surprised. Because when the independent mobile fleet was formed, it was not originally a special fleet for the purpose of fighting the enemy head-on. Their mission is to rely on their maneuver to attack Zeon's supply routes.

The captain of a cruiser immediately put forward his opinion: "Admiral, there are only fifteen warships in our independent fleet. Even with the addition of MS, it will not be able to compete with the attack power of the Zeon fleet head-on.

If we rush to Luna-2 for support, I am afraid that after the battle, our fleet will suffer serious losses. Then the next task may not be completed. ”

Major General Adams shook his hand helplessly, and said to those subordinates who were looking at him: "But the order of the headquarters has to be carried out, after all, Luna 2 is too important for the Federation.

That's the only fortress we have in the universe. If you lose it, it will be extremely difficult to counterattack in the future. Orders from the headquarters cannot be violated. ”

In fact, Rear Admiral Adams was reluctant to carry out this order, and the Independent Mobile Fleet was his command. If you suffer serious losses in the battle to defend Luna-2, then you will become the commander of the light pole, and you will have no chance to climb to the top.

Everyone is silent at the moment, and if the orders from the federal headquarters are not carried out, I am afraid that they will be treated as disobedience and brought to a military court. And the Major General said that it was also timely, Luna-2 was too important.

If the Federation loses the Luna-2 base, then in the future counterattack on the universe, it will lose the forward base and the place to repair the troops.

"Since there is a lot of luck in supporting Luna 2, then we won't rush directly to the frontal battlefield of Luna 2." Xia Houlin suddenly opened his mouth to say such a paragraph, and immediately more than a dozen people in the conference room looked at him.

"Lieutenant Altaïr, what do you have a good suggestion?" Major General Adams looked at the Knockdown King seriously, and if he had a good solution, he would definitely adopt it.

(Xiahoulin has been promoted to lieutenant because of his exploits during this time.) )

"The order says that we want to support Luna-2 and ensure that it will not be captured by the Zeon Army, but there is no rule on what to do, right?" Xia Houlin looked at his colleagues around him and pointed out the loopholes in the command slightly. I believe that these veterans present should be able to understand the meaning of what they said.

"You're saying an attack on the Zeon Army from other directions?" Sure enough, Major General Adams immediately thought of this, and he looked at Xia Houlin with appreciative eyes.

"Yes, while the Zeon fleet is attacking Luna-2, we will suddenly appear again and try to catch the other side by surprise. In this way, it can not only avoid the troops from engaging in a war of attrition, but also achieve the goal of inflicting heavy damage on the opponent. Chahoulin gave his advice, comparing Zeon's side. The Federation Army does not have any advantage in large-scale MS warfare. Therefore, instead of fighting a brutal frontal battle, the Independent Mobile Fleet should continue to do its old job.

"The lieutenant's plan is good, and if used correctly, our independent fleet will be able to make a great contribution again." The previous cruiser captain obviously agreed with Xiahoulin's suggestion. In this way, you can avoid excessive losses of your own troops, and at the same time you can complete the mission.

"Okay, then hurry up and make a plan, this time we are going to teach the Zeon Army a profound lesson." Major General Adams immediately agreed to this suggestion, which, as it stands, is the only way to get the best of both worlds.

After thinking about it, Rear Admiral Adams spoke to the adjutant beside him again: "If you want the Meteor Research Institute, immediately assign all the experimental bodies to the fleet." The relevant weapons have also been brought along, and we will use all the forces we can in this battle. ”
