Chapter 257: The Beginning of the Battle in Low Orbit!
PS: (Chapter 2 arrives!) Ask for subscription, ask for tickets, ask for tickets, ~~~~~~)
February 12, CE71, at the edge of Earth's low Earth orbit.
In the past, only a small group of elite units of the ZAFT Army cooperated with transport ships to secretly transport troops and materials to the ZAFT ground force on the earth, and played eagles and chickens with the Earth Joint Fast Patrol Force, hundreds of space warships and MS and MA clusters on both sides of the ZAFT Army and the Earth Union have gathered!
Approaching the direction of the moon, the Seventh and Eighth Fleets led by Commodore Halbarton belonged to the receiving side. It has a total of more than 500 space warships, including five newly produced Rock class space carriers, nearly 60 Nelson II space warships and all Drake II space warships, and more than 1,500 Bigro II MA and Thunderbird III MA combined, which can be called a model of strong troops.
However, the ZAFT Army, which is responsible for intercepting them, has nearly 200 NASCAR Type III and NASCAR II space warships, the number of MS is more than 1,000, and the comprehensive combat effectiveness is more than the opposite one!
As for the Archangel, which had just escaped from the rubble belt, it was directly outflanked by twenty NASCAR III space battleships, more than 100 Zagu III MSs, and nine nuclear-powered Gundams.
……
In a tense atmosphere of battle, inside the command tower of the Archangel.
"Maliu! The Moon Base has accepted all the airframe development materials and new warship materials of the 'G Plan', and now the main force of the ZAFT Army has taken action again, so General Malukar's proposal has not been approved, but fortunately, the old men above have finally done a good thing, allowing you to descend directly to the ...... Earth in a dangerous situation."
In the main light screen on the Archangel, located in the conning tower of a Rock-class aircraft carrier, a newly produced MA and MS carrier at a lunar base, Brigadier General Halbarton explained to his proud disciple with a wry smile.
Compared to the bad situation in the "Gundam SEED" anime, Halbarton, who is now proposing "Project G", has an easy time, not only does not have to bring the Eighth Fleet to save his disciples and the only Gundam to attack the high-level, and the high-level of the moon base authorizes the Archangel to land directly on Earth, the situation is much better than the plot of the anime.
"Teacher......" Listening to his teacher's words, Malu, who had just taken Natal Buckillulu's order to enter combat readiness, wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by words on the other side of the screen.
"Admiral! The space warships of the ZAFT army have begun to move forward, and the MS cluster has also begun to charge! They're on the attack!"
On the other side of the light screen, the officer located on the Rock-level empty mother shouted directly, holding in his heart what Ma Lu wanted to say.
In the outer space, the ZAFT Army, which was close to the moon, suddenly took the initiative to attack the slowly moving receiving fleet, and the ZAFT Army Blocking Fleet with the Nazca III battleship and Zagu III MS as the main force took the initiative to attack, and the beam guns and missiles fired by the battleship's main guns directly hit the Earth Combined Forces warship, and the MS cluster also took the opportunity to charge.
"Report! The Nazca III ships that followed us also rushed over! And those Gundams and MS!!"
However, before Halbarton and Maliu, whose faces had changed drastically, could say anything, C.C., the radar spotter on the Archangel, shouted to Malu and the others, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Maliu, prepare for battle now! Remember, if you can't meet once, choose to land on Earth immediately!"
Hearing this, Halbottom's face became extremely serious, and he directly admonished his disciple.
Unlike in the "Gundam SEED" anime, Halbarton was too concerned about the only "G-series" Strike Gundam and the Archangel, and protected the latest battleship and Strike Gundam in the center of the Eighth Fleet. And now that the Earth Union not only has an overall advantage, but also has not been troubled by the Blue Cosmos elements and the military-industrial complex that have been cleared by the high-level, Halbarton, who has obtained the authorization of the superiors, will certainly not be so dead-eyed, and directly orders his disciples to land on the Earth as soon as they are wrong.
"Understood, Teacher!" Listening to Halbottom's advice, Maliu saw Halbottom's closing of communications, and took a deep breath silently before ordering Natal Barky Lulu and the others: "Shura Gundam, Strike Gundam attack!" The Archangel is fully prepared for battle at the first level! Prepare to try and break through the enemy blockade!"
"Yes! Captain!" *N
Listen to Malu's orders, including Natal Bucky Lulu, all of them should be loud.
Obviously, Marlu did not intend to land on Earth directly, but always tried to see if she could pass the blockade and join the receiving fleet.
"The whole ship is ready to maneuver to dodge and fight against the MS!"
After shouting yes, Natal Bucky Lulu, who has always been in charge of specific combat command, shouted loudly to the combat personnel of the control tower.
Now it's the Archangel who is escaping, not to confront the ZAFT Army, of course, it's more about maneuvering and dodging, and then it's a threat to the ZAFT Army's MS and a few Gundams.
"Strike Gundam! Kira Yamato! Sortie !!"
"Shura Gundam! Li Yuan! Sortie !!"
On the ejection path, Kira Yamato shouted with a serious face, and then flew out in a Strike Gundam.
There is no way, although Kira Yamato himself is an adjuster, and he really doesn't want to be an enemy of the ZAFT army, but now is a critical time, and if he doesn't want to lose Miria Ria, the only classmate who has an ambiguous relationship now, Kira Yamato can only choose to attack in a Strike Gundam.
On the other ejection channel, after comforting the other party in Frey's worried communication report, Li Yuan also drove the Shura Gundam to attack!
"Kira Yamato! Prepare, and then you try to intercept the fish that slip through the net, and I'll be in charge."
……
On the other side, inside Kreuzer's carefully prepared pursuit fleet and MS cluster.
Not to mention the twenty NASCAR III space warships, more than one-third of the more than 100 Zagu III MSs that have begun to be shipped are painted red - this means that the pilots among them are all red-clothed elites in the ZAFT army, and they belong to the captain level of the ordinary squad in the ZAFT army, and they are out-and-out ZAFT army elites!
However, among these Zagu III surrounds, the nine ZAFT military nuclear-powered Gundams with different styles are more conspicuous and eye-catching!
Although the ZAFT Army lost one Sacred Sword Gundam in the previous battle of the Gravel Belt, there are now nine Divine Will Gundams, Freedom Gundams, Justice Gundams, Destiny Gundams, Dreadnought Gundams, Warrior Gundams, Earth Zaku, Abyss Zagu, and Purgatory Zagu, all of which are piloted by the white-clothed captain of the ZAFT Army. And the leader of it is Kreuzer, who was selected by Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, to be the top person in charge of the operation!
"Captain Kreuzer, I found the new 'X' series Gundam !! earlier."
During this time, the Destiny Gundam, which was modulated by PLANT to focus on long-range shooting and reconnaissance, was the first to spot the enemy, and the white-clad captain in charge of piloting the Destiny Gundam shouted in the communication channel.
Hearing the shouts of the Destiny Gundam pilot, the other Gundam pilots who were already quite vigilant and the pilots of the Zaku Type III MS began to look at the three-dimensional light screen in front of them with full attention, and saw a little light in the direction of the Archangel rushing directly to this side, and the speed made everyone look serious!
"Command! The Zagu Type III MS formation bypassed the other side and went to attack the 'long-legged' battleship! But don't really sink that battleship and force the opponent back to Earth! We're in charge of wrapping up that 'X' Series Gundam !!."
Seeing this, Kreuzer, who was piloting the Divine Will Gundam, did not hesitate to repeat his previous strategic plan.
It should be said that Kreuzer has a clear mind! If it weren't for Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, and his idea of destroying the world and humanity, according to Kreuzer himself, they wouldn't have been able to catch the "X" series Gundam at all, and even from the last nuclear-powered Gundam siege and the loss of the Holy Sword Gundam.
However, under Kreuzer's real thoughts and the orders of Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, it became a strange operation to force the "X" series Gundam to land on Earth as much as possible - the reason why it is strange is that now the three spaceports and the mass accelerator of the Earth Union are still in the hands of the Earth Union, and even if the "X" series Gundam is forced to the Earth, it can be re-sent to space in a short time. Not to mention, there are three more "X" Series Gundams on the Moon Base, not to mention many more "X" Series Gundam bodies that the Earth Federation will not hide!
It stands to reason that at this time, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, Sarah, should try his best to preserve the living forces on his side, instead of spending the elite and blood of the ZAFT army to do such a futile thing. The problem now is that Sarah, the head of the National Defense Commission, who is not stupid or crazy, has made such an action and ordered Kreuzer to carry it out at any cost.
"Sarah, what the hell are you thinking? You don't think you can destroy this 'X' Series Gundam, do you? However, fortunately, I won't care about this, anyway, humanity and this world need to be completely destroyed......" The possible reason behind the strange behavior of Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Commission, flashed in his heart, and Kreuzer, who saw that the "X" series Gundam was already approaching, didn't think much about it, but chose to give up directly, and then directly drove the Divine Will Gundam to rush up!
Hearing Kreuzer's order, the ZAFT MS pilot, who was loudly responding, also drove the fuselage to follow Kreuzer and rushed up. While the nine nuclear-powered Gundams rushed towards the Shura Gundam piloted by Li Yuan, the Zaku III MS followed Kreuzer's orders and tried to disperse around the Shura Gundam and rush towards the Archangel......
……
In the cockpit of the Shura Gundam that had just been attacked, the movements of Kreuzer and the others were revealed on the three-dimensional light screen.
"Do you think that's all you can do? It's naïve, let's get a look at the Shura Gundam's Flying Wing Battle Backpack!"
Looking at Kreuzer's preset combat plan, the corners of Li Yuan's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, and then without hesitation, he began to communicate with Shura Gundam with spiritual energy.
In just an instant, the Shura Gundam, which was originally flying at high speed, suddenly stopped, and then emitted a faint light all over its body!
At the same time, on the Shura Gundam airframe, a combat backpack with the same black and red decoration appeared behind the airframe, which had been empty all along. At this time, several "wings" on the black-red combat backpack shaped like the wings of the fallen angel flew out like lightning after the light shrouded it, and after forming an arc around the Shura Gundam, it suddenly launched a condensed crimson beam cannon!
Those Zaku Type III MSs who were originally going to make a detour to pursue the Archangel didn't expect the Shura Gundam to suddenly change into a combat backpack, and they were only told by Kreuzer to dodge after discovering the Shura Gundam instead of guarding against the dragoon system, and the ZAFT military pilot was immediately pitted by his own commander. The Crimson Beam Cannon turned more than twenty Zagu III MSs into brilliant fireworks in space in just a few seconds at a rate of more than ten rounds per second!
Of course, these Zagu III MS pilots will not be lonely, because more people will walk with them into the abyss of death every second, whether on the blocking battlefield or here......
"Keep going! Gundam is coming with me to entangle each other!!"
Seeing the red beams of light that flashed through the universe to harvest the Zagu Type III MS, Kreuzer suddenly shrank in his heart and shouted loudly in the communication channel.
In the next second, with Kreuzer's actions in the cockpit, the 18 dragoon system combat units on the Divine Will Gundam flew out directly, and then the 18 dragoon systems were almost aligned to concentrate fire, and more than a dozen beam cannons almost hit one of the dragoon devices on the Shura Gundam.
The eight Gundam airframes piloted by the other white-clad captains of the ZAFT Army were not idle, whether they were defensive, shelling, or assault Gundam bodies, they all increased the multi-force field shield power of their Gundam bodies to the optimal level anyway, and then pulled the long-range attack firepower such as the beam rifle and beam cannon in their hands while moving forward at a rapid pace, and carried out a concentrated fire covering attack on the area where the Shura Gundam was!
Almost instantly, the firepower of the nine nuclear-powered Gundams of the ZAFT Army was definitely not inferior to the firepower of the space warships in a small group of the ZAFT Army, and almost sealed off the place where the Shura Gundam was located.
However, on the radar and display screens, the Gundam pilots of the ZAFT Army can clearly see that the Shura Gundam logo is still there. And less than a few seconds after they gathered the fire, they ushered in the "enthusiastic" response of the flying wing backpack dragoon system on the Shura Gundam - the beam cannons of the six large dragoons counterattacked almost at the same time, but they were blocked by the multiple force field shields that had been prepared on the ZAFT Army Gundam!
