Chapter 261: Steel and Flame
PS: (Today's update ~~~)
Space and Earth are two completely different battlefields!
ββThis is a valuable conclusion that has been reached in the world of Gundam SEED, after many battles between ZAFT and Earth in the universe and on Earth, and tens of thousands of blood.
In the world of "Gundam SEED" after being flapped by Li Yuan's wings of the Aeolian Pterodactyl, PLANT made changes to the atmospheric air combat hull Dean and the subsequent Dean II MS after suffering heavy losses in the first Victoria descent operation. Not only does it get the force field protection that the most vulnerable air combat units urgently need, but it also gives it the dual atmosphere combat form of MS and MA.
Now, however, the pilots of the Dean II MS, who have been praised for their high-altitude, high-speed, and MS-like agility in the MA form, have seen the Shura Gundam, a cosmic fighter body, soar into the sky in one fell swoop, and then the wings that look like fallen angels behind them suddenly spread out, and several cone-like dragoon systems aimed directly at them and fired beam cannons!
"Whoa--whoa--hea--"
"Boom!!"
"Be careful! That's the Dragoon system!!" β¦β¦
Although he had seen the battle video of the Shura Gundam, but had never thought that the Cosmic Battle Backpack was still not affected in the slightest in the atmosphere, the Dean II MS pilot was embarrassed by the beam cannon attack, and the three selected Dean II MS turned into bright fireworks directly in the sky, and the rest of the people also hurriedly dodged and shouted.
Unfortunately, the Shura Gundam did not only attack with a combat backpack, but also completely adopted the technology of the world of Gundam SEED, almost ignoring the gravity and atmospheric resistance of the earth, and instantly smashed into the Dean II MS group that was dodging.
"Ahββββββh
A pilot of the Dean II MS was slashed in two with the body after looking at the instantly enlarged black-red figure and the shining beam sword flash in front of him.
However, the Shura Gundam didn't stop at all, and after the beam sword easily slashed through the unlucky guy's body and cockpit, it suddenly stretched out like a light spear, directly piercing another Dean II MS stance shield hundreds of meters away, and directly nailed the pilot to death in the cockpit!
"The fifth!"
After a faint calculation, he reflexively dodged an S-shaped curve to dodge the beam guns, chest beam cannons, and missile fire fired by several Dean II MSs, and Li Yuan controlled the Shura Gundam to rise directly to the height of the battlefield.
Now on the battlefield, the battle situation is more favorable to the Archangel's side!
Almost half of the Dean II MSs attacked by the ZAFT Army were killed, and the remaining six Dean II MSs in the sky were also extremely panicked now, terrified in the face of an Shura Gundam who had killed nearly half of his companions.
However, the Strike Gundam piloted by Kira Yamato is entangled and fighting the ground with the Baku Type II MS and the Steel Tank Type II MS - although Kira Yamato is now in the state of explosion, but now the land combat MS of the ZAFT Army in the world of "Gundam SEED" is not the crispy body in the anime, and the force field shield and powerful attack power are not blown out, and it only takes a few seconds for Kira Yamato to seize the opportunity to severely damage a Baku Type II MS.
The large land warships of the ZAFT army attacked the Archangel by artillery bombardment dozens of kilometers away - unfortunately, in the face of the space battleship-level energy shield on the Archangel, the power of the large electromagnetic cannon on the land flagship on which the Desert Tiger was riding was not enough to threaten the safety of the Archangel at all, and the symbolic meaning was higher than the actual effect!
On the detection radar of the Shura Gundam, in an area on the edge of the battlefield, a convoy of hundreds of people was still playing peek-a-boo behind the sand dunes, and the leaders seemed to be shocked by the fierce battlefield environment......
"I don't have time to play with you! Go to hell! Beam Cutting !!" In the cockpit of the Shura Gundam that flew up, Li Yuan, who had taken a look at the battlefield situation, did not hesitate at all, and directly launched a lore against the surviving Dean II MS.
So, on the battlefield in the sky, the pilots of the Dean II MS, who were busy retreating and adjusting their formation, saw that the Shura Gundam, which was much faster than them and directly occupied the high-altitude position, stretched out their hands, and then the thing on their arms that seemed to be arm shields suddenly cracked and shone with brilliant brilliance, and then those countless rays of light like a net directly submerged themselves and the Dean II MS body they were driving, and then they were directly unconscious......
But in the eyes of other people who have time to pay attention to the battle situation in the sky, they see that the "arm shield" on the arm of the Shura Gundam directly extends into a plate similar to a large crystal stone and hundreds of small crystal stones installed, and then the metal body and the plate embellished with crystal stones emit white light directly like the sun, and then thousands of condensed beams are like the famous laser net in "Resident Evil", Directly at the speed of light, several Dean II MS mechs in the sky and their force field defenses were cut into countless large and small steel debris fragments, which fell directly around the burning wreckage on the ground, becoming a very eye-catching embellishment on the desert battlefield.
In an instant, it killed six Dean II MSs!
Seeing the performance of the Shura Gundam's combat effectiveness in earnest, even Andrew Butterfield, whose ears were filled with rumors of the powerful "X" series Gundam of Earth Union, was still shocked. After all, hearsay and watching video can never be as powerful as what you have witnessed.
It was not only Andrew Barterfield who was also shocked, but also the MS pilots of the ground forces of the ZAFT Army on the battlefield were also shocked by the situation and results in the sky like a small sun.
"Stop it!!
Kira Yamato, who caught this rare opportunity for his opponent to be stunned, did not hesitate at all, and the beam sword in his hand instantly broke the force field shield of the Baku II MS in front of him, and then directly cut off the limbs on the Baku II MS in an instant, turning it from a four-legged mechanical hound into a footless mechanical hound that could not move.
Kira Yamato shouted while controlling the Strike Gundam whose OS operation data had been adjusted, and took a leap like a human, and the Strike Gundam Flying Wing combat backpack behind him suddenly sprayed at full power, making the Strike Gundam that jumped to a height of hundreds of meters as if riding a low-altitude glider, instantly accelerated on the desert and rushed to several steel tanks Type II MS clusters behind, and then the beam rifle and beam saber attacked these hostile MS bodies at a rapid speed.
"Tsk......" Seeing Kira Yamato's rather decisive action, Li Yuan, who was driving the Shura Gundam, nodded slightly, and then controlled the Shura Gundam to raise the beam rifle in his hand and aim it down.
"Whoa--whoa--hea--"
"Boom!! Boom !!" β¦β¦
By this time, the remaining seven Baku II MS pilots on the ground had already reacted from the shock just now and were preparing to evacuate this hopeless battle in accordance with the retreat order that came from the communication channel.
But by this time it was too late. After the Shura Gundam, whose combat effectiveness was not affected at all (in fact, it still had a certain impact, but was temporarily ignored by Li Yuan), had just emptied the Dean II MS body in the sky in one breath, the Shura Gundam, which was not waterproof, was completely easy to crush against the Baku Type II MS.
A Baku Type II MS tried to escape, but even if the performance of the Baku Type II MS exceeded that of the same type of ground body in the "Gundam SEED" anime, the speed of the ground type MS was not worth mentioning at all in the face of the Shura Gundam flying into the sky. With a salvo from the Dragoon system and the beam rifle in the Shura Gundam's hand, the seven Baku Type II MSs that survived and prepared to evacuate were directly breached by the force field shield and turned into a pile of steel wreckage in a fire storm.
Similarly, on the other hand, Kira*Yamato's Strike Gundam is rapidly turning those Steel Tank II MSs into non-threatening rags - after being violently disarmed, the Steel Tank II MS is at best an armored tractor!
What makes the ZAFT military steel tank II MS driver vomit blood is that the steel tank II MS as the initial version is the RX-75 steel tank, the federal army marine MS of the earth in the main biography of "Gundam 0079", and the design did not consider any melee weapons such as beam swords and high-frequency combat knives - there is no need for that, the Earth Federation Army in "Gundam 0079" requires the production of fast, firepower, good mobility, and high-volume weapons in the armor of high-volume wars. Besides, there is indeed a heretical feel to designing a melee weapon for a tank-like semi-MS.
In Gundam SEED, the PLANT designers did not consider the possibility or design of melee combat for the original Steel Tank and the current Steel Tank Type II MS. FOR EVEN THE IMPROVED STEEL TANK II LAND COMBAT MS, IT ONLY ENLARGED THE CALIBER OF ITS ORIGINAL 100MM GAUSS ELECTROMAGNETIC GUN TO 150MM, STRENGTHENED THE KEY FORCE FIELD SHIELD AND ADJUSTED SOME OF ITS SHORTCOMINGS IN DESERT WARFARE, IN ADDITION, THE TWO 40MM HIGH-SPEED GRENADE LAUNCHERS EQUIPPED WITH THE ORIGINAL STEEL TANK WERE REPLACED WITH A 15MM SIX-BARRELED GAUSS VULCAN GUN AND A 40MM HIGH-SPEED GRENADE LAUNCHER AUXILIARY ARMAMENT.
This kind of armament of the Steel Tank II is not bad, and it is definitely enough for the United Earth Army and guerrillas in the Mediterranean theater and the African theater of operations on Earth. However, in the face of the decapitation and amputation of the Strike Gundam close-range beam sword, this kind of land combat MS is not able to pose a real threat and resistance to the near Strike Gundam at all (as long as Kira * Yamato does not have a convulsion in his brain), and several steel tank II MSs were scrapped by the Strike Gundam in a few moments.
The other surviving Steel Tank II MSs were now unable to fight back, and after seeing the Tiger Attack Gundam entering the flock and the new body of the "X" Series Gundam in the sky, the Shura Gundam, which was like a god of death, posed in the sky, and the SAFT Army MS pilot, who had already received the order to retreat and was frightened, scattered and fled in the Marine MS.
Seeing this situation, Kira Yamato, who didn't like to fight by nature, quickly stopped driving the Strike Gundam, and Li Yuan, who was driving the Shura Gundam, did not continue to attack, and coldly watched as the few steel tank Type II MSs who had successfully escaped by luck (really luck) left the battlefield where there were already dozens of piles of steel wreckage and flames.
I don't know when, the futile roar of artillery and missile fire of the ZAFT army's land warships also stopped, and the battlefield that was still lively just now became silent for a while.
"Source, it looks like the tiger has already chosen to evacuate? Do you want to continue the pursuit?"
In the cockpit of the Shura Gundam, a question from Natal Bucky Lulu came from the communication channel, asking Li Yuan, the supreme commander and his own man, about the next steps to fight.
In fact, Natal Barkilulu, who knew the plot and battlefield information of the Gundam SEED anime in advance, certainly had her own ideas. But now what she needs to ask is Li Yuan's opinion, and then she will consider putting her opinion forward, and Li Yuan will decide how to proceed next!
"No need! That tiger is still useful, and besides, there are a few more captives to deal with......"
Listening to Natal Bucky Lulu's inquiry, Li Yuan, who was driving the Shura Gundam, shook his head and said.
If Li Yuan were willing, Andrew Bartfield, known as the "Desert Tiger", who had shown his face in "Gundam SEED" and the sequel "Gundam SEEDDESTINY", would not have grown up to the present day at all, and should have been pushed by the main forces of the Eurasian Federation more than half a year ago, instead of "cooperating" with the United Earth Army for most of the year, turning the blue cosmos diehards in Europe and the Mediterranean into a sacrifice list.
As for the prisoner in Li Yuan's mouth?
Well, Kira Yamato is the protagonist of "Gundam SEED" and the sequel "Gundam SEEDDESTINY", which has always adhered to the concept of peace and abolished the use of physical force against mobile phones, and is known as the "King of Sticks". At least in the Baku Type II MS and the Steel Tank Type II MS, at least ten pilots and cockpit parts of the ZAFT Army were left untouched.
Although Li Yuan would not spare his hands on the enemy during the battle, this kind of opponent who lost his resistance did not attack, and now among the ZAFT Army MS pilots who were left behind, some of them had already climbed out of the cockpit of their scrapped airframe, and then looked at the situation around them with a desperate face.
"Understood, I'll send the Marines out to pick up the prisoners right away!"
Listening to Li Yuan's words, Natal Bucky Lulu immediately replied.
Later, from the passage gate on the Archangel, more than a dozen reinforced soldiers with weapons rushed into the battlefield, and then began to capture those ZAFT MS pilots who had no intention of resisting at all...... (To be continued.) )
