Chapter 31: Zagu's debut
The first wave of the rebels deployed 12 warplanes to release long-range siege missiles, but because of the Minovsky particles, they could only be fired as rockets, and most of them failed to hit the target, and only a few flew towards the base and were wiped out by the base's close-in artillery fire.
At the same time, the remaining forces of the Atlantic Federation, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the spread of particles among the rebels, caused the first and second waves to fail to keep up with the attack, and flanked the first wave of rebel fighters, annihilating most of them.
Of the two squadrons left behind, Captain Harold of the 1st Squadron was the squadron leader who survived the battle with the Earth Federation Army's Jim Force. At that time, Pelle was promoted to major, Captain Hawke was killed in battle, and the current third squadron leader, Caldy, acted as the squadron leader at that time. And he was originally in the same class as Pelle, but now the other party has climbed above him and become the top boss, and he feels a little jealous. But as an adult, jealousy doesn't mean he's going to work against Major Pelle, it's about wanting to make a big difference and get promoted.
He is now chasing the remnants of the first wave of the Resistance in a fighter plane, and the enemy is now in a panic, forgetting even the most basic serpentine escape, and flying back in a straight line, so he is easily locked by Captain Harold and taken away with one blow.
The annihilation of these rebels alone has a lot of credit, but Captain Harold is even more ambitious, and he decides to take advantage of the chaos of the enemy army and lead his team to break into the enemy headquarters.
So he thought of doing it, and led his squadron towards the army of the rebel headquarters.
Major Pelle, who had just led another squadron left behind to attack, was shocked when he saw his comrades rushing towards the enemy's position, and quickly led his troops to follow. Now that they are in the minority after all, they are in the minority, and now they break through their own formation, which may disrupt the enemy's formation, break through the headquarters, and thus crush the enemy's army; But it is also possible to get caught in enemy lines and be caught in artillery fire. Now the battlefield is full of Minovsky particles, and Captain Harold can no longer be contacted, so he has to lead his troops to follow up, if it can break the enemy army, then it can follow up and cause a lot of damage to the enemy, if Harold fails, it can take the troops to withdraw.
Captain Harold broke through several fighters that came to meet him, and the breakthrough of his own side just now was relatively smooth, and the enemy air defense fighters on the outer layer did not react in time, and they punched a gap and rushed in, but the enemy's struggle before death caused his subordinates to die and wound one another. These two were not his old subordinates, and the battle with the Celestial Organization caused him heavy losses, and after forming a brigade, he removed a few of them to go to other units, and now many of his subordinates are also recruits.
As he was distracted, a different figure from the fighter plane, hovering around his flank, suddenly opened fire, and the large-caliber machine gun shot out of the muzzle, and even if it didn't hit, the explosion shock of the time-delay fuse made many pilots have to hold on tightly to the steering stick.
Captain Harold immediately sped up the body out of the blast zone, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a green cyclops, which was much stronger than the Jim of the Celestial Organization that he had fought before, and looked like a heavy body with extremely thick armor. The 120mm cannon was even more terrifying than Jim's 90mm gun, and this caliber could directly penetrate the armor of a battleship if loaded with armor shells. The unique one-eyed staring at him has a feeling of being stared at.
At this time, another Zagu approached from Captain Harold's blind spot, and suddenly several shells came over, all of which hit the body. "They even have this kind of armed robot." At this time, Captain Harold had his last thoughts before he died in battle.
With the death of Captain Harold, the 3rd Squadron Gibbon had been broken up and wiped out by the fighters and Zagu who rushed to support. Even Major Pelle, who followed behind, had no time to rescue, so he had to watch his men being killed one by one. Seeing that the enemy had already gathered a lot of troops in this area and already had a command, he led his men back to the base in order to use the base's artillery fire to defend against the enemy army.
However, the Zagu troops saw Major Pelle's aircraft group and led the fighter plane unit to surround them, not wanting to let them go.
===================================================
Just as Major Pelle's group was already half-surrounded and entered the circle of fire of the enemy's airframe, several beam cannons grazed one of the Zagu in the distance, hitting several fighters. The Zagu was so frightened that he hurriedly began to maneuver. The other party in the distance fired a few more shots, but for Zagu, who was already maneuvering, dodging was a piece of cake.
In the direction of the firing gun, two Balfia-class cruisers of the North American Liberty Alliance were rapidly approaching. If you look closely, it was not a battleship or a fighter plane that fired the artillery just now, but a combat robot.
This is the MS "puppet" jointly developed by the North American Liberal Alliance and the lunar colonies, and Major Pelle ordered the entire army to withdraw in the direction of friendly reinforcements, and at the same time, regardless of the battle, immediately put the camera on the maximum to observe the MS of the North American Liberal Alliance. Thankfully, the rebels abandoned the pursuit and regrouped to face the new enemy.
At this moment, a puppet approached and touched Major Pelle's landline with his hand, and Major Pelle immediately received a communication request from the puppet.
"This is the 14th Mobile Fleet of the North American Liberty Alliance, and the captain of the 14th Mobile Fleet, Wolf Conveton, received a request for help from your army and came to the rescue." A blonde driver is shown on the screen.
"Your army's rescue is very welcome, and the name of the Wolf of the Wind also has a high reputation in our country." Major Pelle said politely, "This is the 19th Brigade of the Atlantic Federation Garrison, which was ordered to be stationed in the rear base of the "Peyton Plan", Bradorin, and is currently being attacked by the rebels, please destroy the enemy forces with our army." ”
"Understood." Major Convitaton let go of Major Pellet's desk and turned back to set up his mission.
Since receiving the puppets, Wolf Conveton of the North American Liberty League has been driven by the military to the secret experimental unit, which is declared to be the 14th Mobile Combat Group. But in reality there were only two squadrons of airframes. NAFO is organized into a squadron of 2 airframes and a squadron of 5 squadrons, paired with a Balfia-class cruiser. His unit originally belonged to the scope of the "Peyton Project", and planned to test the combat ability of this robot in space warfare in this operation. At this time, the troops he was leading were conducting exercises nearby, and after receiving a distress signal, they rushed over to support.
The "Peyton Plan" is a plan for the North American Liberty Alliance and the Atlantic Federation to cooperate and fight against the rebel forces, different from the previous joint anti-bandit plan that used the garrison force, this time the two sides will mobilize strategic forces aircraft carriers, as well as a large number of mobile fleets, to block this area first, and then use a large number of warplanes to clean up this area, in order to ensure the safety of the future gemstone mining area. The three temporary bases that were built in advance will be gradually regularized to stabilize the area.
