Chapter 307: The Short Battle of the Gulf of Aden

PS: (Today's update, ask for subscription~~)

Zaft's Atmospheric MS Aircraft - Dean!

It is a special MS for atmospheric combat developed by Zaft's side after descending from space to Earth and discovering that Jean, a cosmic warfare-type MS, is not suitable for fighting in the Earth environment!

Compared with the reference prototype body Jean, Dean gained high speed and maneuverability and was not too weak in firepower, at the cost of a significant drop in armor, and this thing was not very suitable for space warfare - of course, its initial design requirements were to adapt to the air combat environment of the earth, so whether it could be used for space warfare is not a big problem.

When Dean entered the battle, compared to the Earth United Atmosphere Fighters, Dean, who was much more maneuverable, and whose survivability and firepower were much stronger than those of the opponent, made a name for himself on the entire battlefield.

But now, the two Zaft pilots who were piloting Dean wanted to choke Dean's designer by the neck and roar wildly.

How much performance are you exaggerating at Nima? Didn't TMD say that Dean's maneuverability was much higher than that of the Earth United fighters? Isn't it said that absolutely no fighter can match Dean's agility? What's that thing on the other side? Ghosts?

Well, in front of Liu Qi, who was full of anger and wanted to vent his anger, the two Dean, who had just seen the figure of the Archangel, undoubtedly encountered a tragedy.

By the time Dean's radar spotted the Skylord, several energy beam cannons and cannons had already bombarded the two Dean's bodies! However, Liu Qi's mood was obviously so bad that he didn't plan to kill him with one blow, but first disarmed the opponent's weapons and equipment, and then slowly played to death the opponent's mentality. When the two Deans lost the small missile launchers and automatic machine guns on both arms, they were used by Liu Qi as live targets from time to time to fire and unload some parts or something, but they didn't directly blow up the two crippled Dean, and let the other party try to escape but can't escape the desperation of the Airlord chasing him.

When Mu came out with the artillery battle type Air-King No. 1, he saw a standard version of the Air-King firing a cannon or sweeping a shuttle machine gun from time to time like a cat and mouse with two broken and unarmed Dean, but he didn't kill the other party immediately.

"Unit 2, stop playing! Hurry up and deal with each other, come to the Archangel's side, there are enemy mobile suits underwater!!"

Although Mu couldn't get used to Liu Qi's actions similar to insulting the other party's fighters, he also knew that his relationship with Liu Qi made Liu Qi not listen to his dissuasion at all, so he directly connected to the bridge of the Archangel and asked Bucky Lulu to deal with Liu Qi's problem.

"Understood! Come right here!!"

Saying this in Bucky Lulu's anxious tone, Liu Qi, who had vented a lot of evil fire in his heart, directly said that he understood, and then sent two guns to Dean, who could already be sent to the scrap yard for scrap metal disposal, to be relieved, and then the nose of the plane was adjusted, and the two Skylords flew directly in the direction of the Archangel.

*********

Originally, according to the original plot, the Archangel should have been attracted by the two air combat type Dean this time, and then the two underwater special Gen went into battle together to make the Archangel wolf bèi unbearable, and finally relied on the Assault Gundam to launch the water and desperately kill the two Gwen before it was over - the two air combat type Dean were just used to attract the attention of the Archangel, even if the Zaft side thought that the people who thought they were bull breakers would not think that they could rely on the two Dean to KO the Archangel after seeing the Archangel's record, Otherwise, such a crispy archangel can survive until now, how can you make the Kreuzer team chase all the way from space to Earth and the Barttfield team that has been reimbursed.

However, although Dean, who played a restraining role because of Liu Qi's extraordinary play, was directly killed, the two Gwen still caused trouble for the Archangel - of course, it was just trouble.

Although the Archangel who only has to worry about the enemy below the water will have no problem with the two Gerns for a while, the two Gerns that have lost Dean's cover will also have no problem with the Archangel - Gern's intended target is the naval warship of the Earth Union, and the torpedoes and beam cannons equipped are far from powerful enough to threaten the Archangel of the new space battleship, and after losing the opportunity to cooperate with the two Dean to cooperate with the air and sea to attack the Archangel, the two Gwen are also in a dilemma.

Because the situation of the Archangel is not urgent, and the Strike Gundam did not go into the water to risk playing with Zaft's special underwater body as in the original story, and now the Strike Gundam is standing on the deck of the Archangel with a leisurely beam gun playing a game of whack-a-mole - if it weren't for Gern's speed in the water and Kira's lack of explosion, it is estimated that the two Gern would have become reefs in the water.

The Zaft pilot in the two Guerns is now in a dilemma, it feels unreliable to continue to insist on attacking the Archangel, and there is no military order and no military order to retreat, and he can't withdraw from the battle, so he can only stalemate in place and play a game of hide and seek with the Archangel.

When the two Airlords returned to fight, the two Gunn didn't have to worry about whether they should continue to fight now - Liu Qi, who had a cheating device like mental power sensing, directly used airborne missiles, beam cannons and machine guns to baptize Gunn's position, and then the beam cannon "coincidentally" turned the two Gunn who played hide and seek into garbage in the water.

It was also impossible for the people on the Archangel to go into the water to search for the fragments of Gern and pull out the pilot who had turned into a dead man for questioning, so they could only cheer as if Liu Qi was lucky to hit the other party twice when he was shooting at a low altitude.

After receiving the bad news that the sortie force was completely annihilated, the Zaft diving carrier more than 20 kilometers away wisely chose to retreat instead of continuing to fight - the main reason is that the commander of Zaft still underestimated the Archangel, thinking that two Dean and two Gunn could kill each other, and now there is only one Dean and one Gunn left on the diving carrier to escort, this strength of the diving carrier is enough to protect itself, but if you want to continue the attack, it is purely to deliver food to the other party.

After confirming that there were no enemies nearby, the two Airlord and Strike Gundam also began to land and enter Gnaku.

Liu Qi, who was in a good mood after just venting, was questioned by a young pilot with a strict sense of justice.

"Mr. Liu Qi, don't you think it's too insulting to deal with those two Deans just now? It's better to just destroy the other party at once!!"

Kira looked at Liu Qi who walked to the deck humming a little song, and stood in front of Liu Qi protesting as if you were a bad person.

Because the Archangel was not in danger just now, Kira didn't need to jump into the water to fight, so he directly watched the whole process of Liu Qi abusing two poor Dean in the sky. So as soon as the battle ended, Kira, who had a strict sense of justice and compassion, jumped out of the Strike Gundam and protested to Liu Qi.

"Kira, I wasn't in a very good mood just now, so maybe I went too far, and I shouldn't be next time!"

Stimulated by Kira's words, Liu Qi originally planned to let Kira take a look directly, but after seeing Bucky Lulu's figure appear on the other side, after thinking about it in his mind for a few seconds, Liu Qi temporarily put down the idea of knocking Kira out directly, and said indifferently.

"Huh? Uh"

Originally, Kira regretted it a little when she opened her mouth, after all, Liu Qi's figure was definitely not a level opponent compared to him, but now that Liu Qi actually accepted his opinion, Kira couldn't help but be stunned.

Of course, Kira definitely didn't know that what Liu Qi was thinking about was the idea of settling the ledger together after the autumn, otherwise Kira would never be stunned in place, and thought that Liu Qi was the kind of person who was very good at talking.

*********

The battle of the Gulf of Aden can be said to be the smoothest battle after the Archangel set out from Heliopolis, and even the Archangel ended the battle without even withstanding a decent attack from the enemy.

But the faces of the Archangels, from Malu to those logistics and maintenance personnel, were extremely ugly, and they didn't feel like they had just won a victory.

As for the reason, just out of the Red Sea, he encountered Zaft's attack, which is definitely not a good sign for everyone on the Archangel, the Red Sea is too narrow to be valued by Zaft, and it is understandable that he has not been attacked by the enemy. However, although the Gulf of Aden is also in the control circle of Zaft, it is not strong compared to the Indian Ocean!

But now, as soon as he entered the Gulf of Aden, he was attacked by Zaft, although he eliminated the enemy, but what kind of "welcome" ceremony he would encounter when he entered the Indian Ocean was really not a good future prediction!

Although the Archangel was expected to encounter the enemy when it entered the Indian Ocean during this route, no one expected that it would encounter the enemy just after leaving the Red Sea and entering the Gulf of Aden!

Although this victory has boosted the morale of the members of the Archangel, will Zaft be defeated like this next time after this defeat? Obviously, Malu and the others don't have the luxury of expecting that the IQ on Zaft's side is the same as the idiot demon king who was knocked out by the brave in the story of the brave fighting demon king, and the demon king kept sending small soldiers to brush up on the brave and level up, and finally was knocked out by the brave.

If the commander of Zaft's side were so idiotic, the Earth Union would not have been beaten to the appearance of the current defensive and other counterattacks!

After the painful lesson of being completely annihilated because of the light enemy attack force this time, I believe that the lineup of Zaft's side to attack the Archangel next time will definitely be much stronger than this time!

It is strange that the members of the Archangel can be happy in such a situation, especially after not encountering an enemy attack in the Gulf of Aden for two or three days in a row, which makes people feel more and more nervous - according to the common sense of battle, the longer the enemy prepares after a small setback, the more fierce the next attack will be!

The Archangel couldn't help but keep himself level 2 ready to fight, ready to fight the incoming Zaft at any time.

*********

March 6, C.E.71

The Archangel waited for three days to prepare for the battle, and still couldn't wait for Zaft's attack to be a little impatient.

At Zaft's Gibraltar base, Yitzhak and Diakar, who had left North Africa and run to Gibraltar a few days earlier, finally met Aslan and Nigaul, who were descending from PLANT. Of course, Aslan and Nigaul were accompanied by their squad commander, the white captain Rauru Kreuzer.

"Captain! Please make sure I go after 'Long Legs!!"

In a briefing room, Yitzhak's face was agitated, and when he pleaded with Kreuzer, the horrific scar on his face shook from time to time, making Aslan and Nigaul, who had just arrived on Earth and run over to join them, from time to time.

"Yitzhak, that injury"

Aslan, who had just walked in, looked at Yitzhak, who seemed to be a little crazy, and asked Diaca in a low voice to Diaca, who had just greeted him and Nigel.

"Hmph"

Hearing Aslan ask about the scar on his face that represented shame, Yitzhak snorted coldly and said nothing, while Diaca, who was his friend, shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain.

"You're here, Yitzhak left this scar intact after his last injury, and he doesn't seem to plan to remove this scar before defeating Gundam."

Kreuzer looked at Aslan and Nigaul and smiled slightly, explaining the origin of Yitzhak's scar in passing.

“”

Aslan, who heard this explanation, was silent, he didn't know what to say, Yitzhak was his teammate, but Yitzhak, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, would not listen to his persuasion and no longer be an enemy of the Strike Gundam, and Kira's friend was on that new ship, and Kira, who was driving the Strike Gundam, would not turn to Zaft's side in order to protect his friend, not to mention that many of Zaft's fighters had died in Kira's hands.

“”

On the other hand, Yitzhak, who had been picked open and had the scar on his heart, looked unconvinced, and he could now describe his hatred for the Strike Gundam and the Archangel.

Chasing all the way from Heliopolis to Earth did not kill the Strike Gundam and the Archangel, so how could Yitzhak, who thinks highly of himself, be convinced, not to mention the anger accumulated in the desert a few days ago because he had not had time to modify the OS number on the Duel Gundam jù was harassed by those people in the Dawn Desert and finally retreated because of the desert tiger order.

Anyway, now Yitzhak can't wait to drive the Duel Gundam to the Archangel immediately, and it will be comfortable to dismantle the Strike Gundam and the Archangel into scrap metal!

In fact, not only Yitzhak, but Diaca also didn't look good, but he remembered the scene of being harassed by two big flies and big bees in the desert, and he also wanted to turn those two Earth Union fighters into fireworks.

"The target is coming into Alaska with a relevant number of jù, and that's definitely something we're going to stop! But now that's the mission of the Carpentaria base."

Looking at the changing faces of Yitzhak, Diaca, and Aslan, Kreuzer said slowly.

"That's our mission! Captain!! I'm going to get rid of that guy with my own hands!!"

After hearing his captain's words, Yitzhak jumped out and shouted with a dissatisfied face.

"That's what I thought too! Captain!"

After Yitzhak fired the first shot, Diaka, who was sitting in a chair, also stood up and asked Kreuzer for battle.

"Diaca"

Seeing that Diaca, who has always been known for his nonsense and cool words, also stood up to support Yitzhak's Jianyì, except for Yitzhak, who knew the inside story with him, even Kreuzer looked at him in surprise, but in the end, it was Nigaul, who was the most popular, who spoke up to ask.

"I've also been disgraced"

Diaca looked at the gazes of several people, turned his face and said indifferently - he was really embarrassed to explain to his companions that he was beaten by two United Earth Force fighters and couldn't lift his head, just like Yitzhak would never talk about being bullied by several sand buggies because the OS number on the Duel Gundam was not adjusted properly, neither of them could afford to lose that person!

"Excellent! I thought so too, but because of the new battle plan, I can't continue to lead you, and I'll leave the pursuit of the target to the four of you! I'll ask the base of Carbonaria to allow you to make the transition, and you'll take care of the rest! But the four of you will reorganize the team and Aslan will be the captain!"

Kreuzer looked at the four elite red-clothed people in front of him and began to say something that surprised the four of them.

"Captain?"

"Captain??"

The surprised Aslan and the surprised Yitzhak couldn't help but shout.

However, everyone's opinions were forcibly suppressed by Kreuzer, and the last four could only prepare to transfer to the Carpentaria base tomorrow by guò transport plane.

*********

The next day, not to mention how the new Sara squad at the base in Gibraltar was preparing for the transfer, the Archangel, which had just arrived in the Indian Ocean, finally waited for the long-lost enemy.

"Report! Spot three Deans flying towards us!!"

On the bridge of the Archangel, Sey first spotted the three Deans flying over and hurriedly reported to Maliu.

"Three sonar signals were found underwater, and two of them were confirmed to be Zaft's special underwater MS Gern! There is also an unclear model, but it is certain that it is also an underwater MS of Zaft!"

At the same time, the sonar crew produced by Zaft, who was in charge of the new installation of the Archangel for a few days, also reported another news to the others in the bridge.

Surprisingly, everyone in the bridge seemed relieved to hear these two pieces of bad news. Because of the tension for three days, the enemy finally arrived and gave people a feeling of finally coming, which made the hearts of everyone who had been nervous for three days relaxed, and now it is up to the Archangel to face this Zaft's charged attack.

"Order: Airlord and Strike Gundam are attacking! The Skylord will do his best to deal with the three Dean and Zaft's dive carriers, and attack the Gundam and the Archangel to guard against the enemies in the water!!"

Malu commanded from the captain's seat.

"Yes!" *N

Everyone on the bridge began to get busy. However, it is a little surprising that the blonde lion cub Cagalli is now busy on the bridge in the clothes of a United Earth Force private. (To be continued......)
