Chapter 229 changes in the first Yakin Duwey War
May 1, CE70, located in the vicinity of the PLANT Yakin Dewey resource satellite in space.
In the originally dim cosmic space, the Lorasia-class battleships of the ZAFT Army were densely packed opposite the Fifth and Sixth Space Fleets, and the Jien mechs had already begun to eject.
In contrast, the space warships in the Fifth and Sixth Space Fleets are a little different, with the improved Drake-class and Nelson-class ships surrounding several Agamemnon Space Carriers that have also been significantly improved, and the Mobius MA and the smaller number of silver-white titanium fighters begin to circle around the fleet and form formations as they sort.
Compared to the Yakin Duwe War that began on April 17th in the world plot of "Gundam SEED", the battle that was postponed for more than ten days this time was not due to the sluggish reaction of the Earth Union side after the integration, but because the Earth Union side is changing clothes and getting familiar with its new weapons!
Located in the space battleship group of this Earth Alliance, the command room of an improved Agamemnon-class battleship.
"Command! Unleash all the Mobius and Titanium fighter units and prepare to attack the ZAFT Army! The MA-04 Thunderbird Brigade and the MA-05 Bigelow Squadron are in preparation, waiting for my orders......"
In the command room of the Agamemnon-class battleship, Layla, who was wearing the rank of major general, looked coldly at the situation on the light screen in front of her, and directly gave orders to the communication non-commissioned officers in front of her.
Behind Leila, who served as the supreme commander of the two space battleship fleets, Li Yuan, Hongyue Kalian, and C.C sat safely behind Leila. But now in this scene, even Li Yuan didn't say anything to Layla, but sat silently behind it as a support for Layla's first command of the cosmic war!
"Yes! The Mobius troops and the titanium fighter units began to be fully released!"
"All the Morbius and Titanium fighter units are starting to assemble and are now starting to surprise the enemy!"
"The two MA-04 Thunderbird Squadrons and the MA-05 Bigelow Squadron have all been assembled ......"......
As the information in the command ship was reported by the communication non-commissioned officers, a dense force of Mobius and titanium fighters had already appeared outside the fleet. And the ZAFT fleet on the opposite side also apparently discovered the actions of the United Earth Space Fleet, and a Tai Jean body and the captain machine Xigu ejected out, and began to outflank the fleet of the United Earth Force!
"Order Morbius and the Titanium Fighter Force to attack!" After seeing this situation, Layla did not hesitate to give a combat order to the assembled Mobius and titanium fighters.
With this order, the long-prepared Mobius and titanium fighter units directly swarmed out, and approached the MS group composed of ZAFT Jean and Xigu, who also launched an assault on the opposite side......
……
In the dark and silent space, the MA-02 Mobius and the titanium fighter unit codenamed MA-03 of the Earth United greeted each other almost face to face with Jean and Xigu on the opposite side with a guide bow!
Because of the neutron jammers, the first wave of missiles on both sides, except for a few unlucky ones who were really on the back of the point, basically did not gain much results and were detonated by the jammers. And the MA and MS troops on both sides also approached directly and quickly and directly entered the tragic battlefield of hand-to-hand combat.
With the ignition of the silent war in the universe, the MA-02 Möbius was directly suppressed by Jean on the opposite side - this MA, which did not consider the combat situation of the neutron jammer at all, was originally a typical MA in which the Earth United won by quantity, but in the case of the neutron jammer, it could only exchange fire with Jean in the close-range combat that he was not good at!
There is no doubt that compared with Morbius, Jean, who is definitely thick-skinned and thick-skinned, can be said to have taken advantage of it, and almost a double-digit Morbius has become a fireball in space in almost a single sprint. Morbius's counterattack only destroyed one Jean and damaged two.
But when the two sides got together, the titanium fighter hidden in the Mobius finally began to wield!
MA-03 titanium fighter!
This is Li Yuan's replica number of the Star Wars star fighter in this world!
Because of the technological limitations at hand, even with the design drawings and related principles given by Li Yuan, the original Titanium Fighter could not be built in the world of Gundam SEED - it was better to say that the high-efficiency solar panels and the shield device and hyperspace engine on the original Titanium Fighter were really impossible to make. Or to put it simply, even if it can be made in "Gundam SEED", the cost and size of the titanium fighter will lose the advantages and advantages of its original design.
AS A RESULT, THESE TITANIUM FIGHTERS, WHICH ONLY OCCUPY ONE-FIFTH OF THE CODE NAME OF THE MA-02 TYPE OF MÖBIUS, IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT THEIR MOBILITY IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL, THE FIREPOWER OF THE THREE 10MM GAUSS MACHINE GUNS AND TWO MISSILE LAUNCH COMPARTMENTS IS MUCH STRONGER THAN THAT OF THE MÖBIUS, AND THE CRISPY AND CANNON FODDER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ORIGINAL TITANIUM FIGHTER HAVE NOT CHANGED AT ALL.
Of course, the MA-03 titanium fighter has inherited by the way, as well as the characteristics of the original titanium fighter, such as light weight, easy to manufacture in large quantities, low cost and logistics maintenance!
When these little silvery-white guys appeared in front of Jean and Higu, most of the tuner drivers didn't notice that their opponents had changed. WHEN THE TITANIUM FIGHTERS DODGED THEIR ATTACKS WITH A NIMBLE ATTITUDE, AND THE FANG-LIKE 10MM GAUSS MACHINE GUN FIRED WILDLY, MANY SLOWER GIEN WERE DIRECTLY TORN APART BY IT.
"New model!! Those silver new MAs are the new MAs of the Earth Union!!"
When the red-clothed elite of a Xigu captain machine had just blown up a Mobius, he was targeted by a titanium fighter plane, and it took a lot of effort to kill the flexible titanium fighter before he reacted and shouted into the communication channel.
But...... And then the egg!
Because at this time, not only the titanium fighter unit was entangled with the ZAFT army, but the Thunderbird brigade named MA-04 and the Bigelow squadron of MA-05 were also put into the battlefield.
As a result, on the originally chaotic battlefield, the performance of the two new MAs made the ZAFT army feel that they had no way to start!
As a medium-sized MA that appeared in Li Yuan's exchange for the relevant drawings of the Star Empire, the MA-04 Thunderbird has not appeared in the Gundam series, but this medium-sized MA with an empty weight of 48 tons and a full ammunition weight of 55 tons has inherited all the characteristics of the rough skin and thick flesh and extremely ferocious firepower of the American fighter in World War II!
SIX 20MM GAUSS CANNONS PLUS FOUR MISSILE (OR OTHER AMMUNITION) PYLONS FOR THE FEROCIOUS FIREPOWER, AND THE FUSELAGE DOES NOT CONSIDER THE SO-CALLED AERODYNAMICS, BUT HIGHLIGHTS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF STURDY AND LEATHER. ITS COCKPIT, ALLOY SKELETON, LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM, AND PROPULSION DEVICE HAVE BEEN SPECIALLY REINFORCED, AND EVEN AFTER BEING HIT BY GENE'S 76MM HEAVY MACHINE GUN, IT CAN STAGGERING AND BARELY FLY BACK WITH A HALF-CRIPPLED FUSELAGE, WHICH MAKES THE ZAFT ARMY VERY UNSUITABLE FOR THIS KIND OF LEATHERY HEDGEHOG WHEN IT IS ENCOUNTERED FOR THE FIRST TIME.
However, if the titanium fighter is a little troublesome, and the Thunderbird makes the ZAFT army feel tricky and headaches, then the MA-05 Bigelow makes the ZAFT army feel helpless!
The design concept and drawings are from the MA-05 Bigelow (in the main Gundam story, its code name is also MA-05), which has not changed its own characteristics.
This guy in the world of "Gundam SEED", with an empty weight of more than 260 tons (improved data) and a full take-off weight of more than 300 tons, made the ZAFT army who fought with him suffer enough as soon as he appeared.
The MA-05 Bigero, which is mainly based on high-speed combat and specializes in single-hit detached tactics, directly surpasses all the MAs and MSs present due to its large body and larger engines (in the main sequel of "Gundam", this thing uses two nuclear fission engines). And the armor and firepower are even more complete on the battlefield MA and MS street distance - think about it, a humanoid mobile weapon MS and a light and medium MA, after taking care of flexibility, firepower, armor, easy production, etc., these aspects will definitely not be the opponent of a large space war MA like Bigelow!
After applying a layer of anti-beam coating, Bigelow, whose armor thickness was even able to resist the battleship's secondary guns, directly ignored the frontal fire of Jean and Xigu's 76mm heavy machine guns, missiles, and heavy beam guns on the battlefield, and quickly formed an assault formation in a group of three. THEN, JUST LIKE THE HEAVY CAVALRY OF THE ANCIENT CHARGE, THEY RELIED ON THEIR OWN HIGH DEFENSE AND EQUIPMENT WITH ONE 150MM BEAM CANNON AND TWO 50MM GAUSS MACHINE GUNS TO MASSACRE JEON AND XIGU ON THE ROAD!
Most of the Jean and Sigu who stood in the way of the MA-05 Bigelow were directly torn to shreds by the ferocious power of the large-caliber beam cannon and Gauss machine guns, or were supplied with Thunderbird and Titanium fighters following behind. And the few lucky ones who tried to get close to melee were caught by the pair of close-range mechanical claws designed and installed on Bigero before they could use their heavy slashing swords, and then they were easily torn to pieces by the mechanical claws.
On the contrary, if they want to catch the other party's ZAFT army Jean and Xigu have not much to do with Bigro, this kind of large MA with fast speed, strong defense, and strong firepower acts as a spearhead, and it is a nightmare for Shangjian and Xigu to take a medium-sized MA and light MA in a cluster assault way, and a Tai Jien and even Xigu are directly exploded in the universe!
However, all of a sudden, hundreds of battleship main gun beams pierced into the battlefield, directly sweeping away the dense MA army composed of Bigelow, Thunderbird, Titanium Fighter, and Mobius.
The main gun on the Lorasia-class space battleship of the ZAFT Army?!!
It turned out that after seeing that the situation on the battlefield was not good, those ZAFT troops who were originally in the rear to see the situation of the MA of the Earth United Army finally couldn't bear it anymore, and directly approached the battlefield and began to support the battlefield with the main guns of the battleship!
Then, after taking a breath, Jean and Higu of the ZAFT Army scattered directly on the battlefield and rushed directly in the direction of the warships of the 5th and 6th Space Fleets......
……
United Earth Space Fleet Main Formation, Flagship Command Room.
"Do you want to take the opportunity to surprise the weak space battleship group to mobilize our MA group? Think beautiful......"
Seeing the changes in the battlefield displayed on the light screen in front of her, Leila, who was sitting in the command seat, immediately understood the general idea and intention of the commander of the ZAFT Army.
On the battlefield, since Jean, Xigu and other MS could not gain the upper hand in the competition with several new MAs of the Earth Alliance, they simply continued to compete with the performance of MS and MA directly with the Earth United Army, but put the remaining most of Jean and Xigu into the direction of the Earth United Fleet, trying to maximize the lethality of the MS against the battleship with the environmental advantages after the neutron jammer, and by the way, mobilize the new MAs on the side of the Earth Alliance.
"Command! Bigelow Squadron, Thunderbird Squadron, Titanium Fighters, and Morbius launch a direct assault on ZAFT's Space Fleet! The fleet activated the defense MS plan, preparing to meet the MS !! of the ZAFT army" After all kinds of thoughts and judgments flashed through her heart, Layla made a decision without hesitation to have a cruel battle with the ZAFT army!
Of course, Layla is not so much confident in the improved space battleship, but more confident in Li Yuan, the man who supports her behind her, and believes that Li Yuan will definitely not let herself down......
"Yes! Commander!" *N
Chapter 230 changes in the first Yakin-Duwey War below
After receiving the order of Rear Admiral Layla Malukar, the supreme commander of the sortie fleet, all the captains of the 5th and 6th fleets did not hesitate to carry out this order.
The two improved space warships, the Drake-class and Nelson-class, which were not very far apart, immediately surrounded the periphery of the fleet, while several Agamemnon-class spaceships, which were also obviously improved, were located in the center of the fleet. The defensive weapons loaded on all the battleships began to be on alert, and the small number of titanium fighters and Thunderbirds that stayed around the fleet on guard directly began to prepare to attack the formation to intercept the Gene and Xigu of the ZAFT army that had already attacked.
Although he was beaten the battlefield by several new MAs of the Earth Union just now, the commander of the MS unit of the ZAFT Army is still very sober-minded, knowing that if he is entangled with a small number of MAs of the Earth Union escorting the escort, maybe the good opportunity that the fleet has just given him will be lost!
"Don't get tangled up with those MAs! Basta Squad, Troyas Squad, Dlocky Squad...... Stay, and the others will immediately follow me to destroy the tin coffins!!"
With the shouts of a white-clothed captain-level pilot of the ZAFT Army, the ZAFT Army's raiding troops left about thirty Jeans and two Xigu MA troops entangled in the Space Fleet, and the other Jean and Xigu did not hesitate to disperse and rush towards the United Earth Space Fleet that formed a defensive formation, trying to destroy this fleet directly.
Well, if it is placed before the neutron jammer, the ZAFT army's plan will not lose much even if it succeeds, but now after the neutron jammer is used, the original main anti-aircraft missile on the space warship of the Earth United Force will basically be scrapped a few kilometers after flying out. The Drake-class and Nelson-class space warships also had the common problem of early ship design flaws, and after fighting with the ZAFT army, it was discovered that design problems were emerging one after another.
Therefore, if the ZAFT forces attack space warships now, they will generally be able to rely on the MS's dodging ability to dodge most of the attacks on the Drake-class and Nelson-class warships, and then successfully destroy those battleships. The current PLANT has obtained the intelligence information that the Earth Union wants to improve and produce the battleship, but the problem is that the current ZAFT army has not linked this important information to the space battleship formation in front of it......
"Anti-aircraft Vulcan artillery ready! Fire !!"
"Anti-aircraft defense missiles! Launch!"
"Fire!! Knock all those MSs down for me!!" ……
Seeing that Jean and Xigu of the ZAFT army began to dodge and rush towards them in a routine maneuver, the captains of the warships in the fleet did not hesitate to give combat orders after the other party approached the defensive circle.
For a while, the originally silent space fleet was like a reviving volcano, and after the "ferocious" defensive firepower against MS broke out, it destroyed dozens of Jean and Xigu who were the first to rush over almost instantly, and almost instantly beat the ZAFT army that had just suffered a loss and was originally rushing over to pick up a soft persimmon pinch!
What the ZAFT military didn't know was that the space warships in the fleet that were now following Li Yuan, Leila, C.C., Red Moon Karen and others had all successfully achieved decisive improvements in anti-aircraft firepower after 24 hours of uninterrupted hard work at the Moon Factory. Coupled with the defensive formation formed by Layla's order, it can be said that the defensive capability far exceeded the original expectation of the ZAFT army, which directly caused the opponent who wanted to pick up soft persimmons to export his evil anger and hit the steel plate headlong.
In this regard, the ZAFT Army also tried to change, but found that the Earth United Space Fleet was invulnerable, even if the ZAFT Army's Jean and Xigu tried to disperse the charge from multiple directions, but the dense defensive firepower still caused them heavy losses. Even though the ZAFT army desperately destroyed several warships on the periphery, the defensive firepower of the battleships that formed the defensive formation did not suffer much losses, which still made Jean and Xigu of the ZAFT army unable to bite the hedgehog.
However, when the United Earth Force began to face it indifferently, the ZAFT Army on the other side was unlucky in the face of the Lorasia-class battleship group assaulted by the MA group......
……
On the other side of the battlefield, the ZAFT Army's Loracia-class battleship group.
As the Lorasia-class, which is also a space battleship, this space battleship of the ZAFT army is much stronger than the standard Drake class of Earth Union, and the comprehensive performance is also a little more than that of the Nelson class. However, this Lorazia-class battleship is equipped with two twin main guns and a continuous fire secondary gun, and it is more of a multi-purpose warship carrying MS such as Jean and Xigu and conducting space warfare, and its combat capability for MA clusters is also like that.
As a result, in the face of the swarming Mobius, Titanium Fighters, Thunderbirds, Bigelows and many other MA attacks, the Lorasia-class battleships showed no better response than the United Earth Space Battleships that they had mocked before. Relying only on the main force of Jean and Xigu, which were retained on the battleships, the defensive firepower of its fleet can be described as quite embarrassing.
If it is only Mobius, titanium fighter, Thunderbird three MA, the Lorasia class is estimated to be not so embarrassed, after all, the three MA are all light and medium-sized MA, before they are equipped with special high-power missiles against ships, they are equipped with the strongest is the 20MM Gauss cannon and its missile launch bay on the Thunderbird, but for Jean and Xigu, the murderous and abnormal 20MM Gauss machine gun and missile treat the space battleship is still a little worse, Unless it happens to hit the weak link and vital point above the Loracia level, it is still not powerful enough to sink the opponent.
But there is also a large space battle MA-05 MA Bigelow!
Those ZAFT Army's Loracia-class battleships can't withstand the bombardment of the 150MM beam cannon above Bigro at all, and they can basically destroy a Loracia-class battleship with a few beam cannons!
In the face of the formation of three formations adopted by the MA-05 Bigelow squadron of the United Earth Force, the ZAFT Lorasia-class battleships launched a blow out of the battle method, and the Lorasia-class battleships of the ZAFT Army were somewhat helpless. The firepower on the battleship can't hit them, and the MS of the convoy is fighting with the Thunderbirds, Titanium fighters, and Morbius!
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that a small group of highly mobile Jean troops at the bottom of the box were put into the battlefield by Lieutenant General ZAFT, cooperating with Jean and Xigu to entangle a large number of MA clusters. The current situation is not that the Lorasia class is embarrassed to face Bigelow's assault, but that it is directly flanked by the MA assault cluster of the Earth United in many aspects.
However, even if it is driven by the ZAFT red-clothed elite, those dozens of them have been comprehensively improved, equipped with a next-generation propulsion system, and the speed is at least twice as fast as the ordinary Jean, and the high-mobility Jean with strong performance cannot affect the situation that the entire battle situation is against the ZAFT side, after all, their number is too small!
"Ordered Jean and Higu to return! We...... Retreat !!"
Looking at the bad situation in front of him, the commander of the ZAFT army almost gritted his teeth, but he gave the order rationally.
Faced with this harsh battlefield situation, the commander of the ZAFT chose the most rational way to admit defeat and choose the combat order to start retreating.
However, what made the commander of the ZAFT Army suspicious was that after he gave the order for the withdrawal of the troops of Jean and Xigu, who had suffered heavy losses on the other side, the MA troops of the United Earth Army, which had already beaten the Lorasia-class battleship group, also retreated. Moreover, the United Earth Army, which originally had the upper hand, did not break through, but after converging with the returning MA cluster, it chose to slowly retreat and withdraw from the PLANT area, and returned towards the moon!
"Alert the mainland, report our defeat this time, and ask for reinforcements to support ......" Although I don't know what tricks the Earth United Forces are playing, the commander of the ZAFT Army can only give an order to his subordinates bitterly.
Well, because this commander knows very well in his heart that no matter what the Earth United Forces are calculating, but this time he led the fleet to fight like he is now, and he will definitely be regarded as the person directly responsible for this defeat, and the end is not expected to be very good......
………………
The first battle of Yakin Duwe is over!
Unlike in the original plot of "Gundam SEED", where the Combined Earth Army attack fleet was defeated by the other side and suffered heavy losses, the war between the United Earth Army and the ZAFT Army was delayed until the beginning of May CE70, but it ended with the ZAFT Army losing heavy losses and choosing to evacuate after a small victory for the United Earth Army.
The ZAFT Army's attacking force was almost seriously injured this time, almost half of Jean and Xigu were damaged, and even eleven high-mobility Jeans were destroyed, not to mention as many as 37 Loracia-class battleships were sunk or damaged and serious, and the total number of personnel lost was almost 10,000, which can be described as a heavy loss!
The United Earth Force paid for the destruction of five improved Drake-class warships and one Nelson-class battleship, and the loss of about one-third of the MA cluster of sorties, ninety-one titanium fighters, thirty-seven Thunderbirds, and two Bigelows, and the number of personnel lost was only less than 6,000 people, which was definitely a real victory!
With this change, the impact on both PLANT and the Earth Union was quite far-reaching...... (To be continued.) )
