The wretched heir of the main god

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the flagship about this sudden appearance of the enemy's "new weapon".

This thing is exactly the famous weapon in the One Year War of the Earth Federation in the UC Gundam world, nicknamed Mr. Iron Ball (BALL).In the UC world, the Earth Federation can win the One Year War without the personal activity of the super ace MS pilot Amuro, but the sea-like number of iron balls and the sea-like number of Jim mechas.At the final battle of the One Year War, the number of Jim was only three to four times that of the opponent's MS, but the number of Iron Ball Bolu was calculated by ten times.

Although the confrontation between a single Bolu and MS is no different from suicide, when ten Bolu gather together and ten large-caliber artillery fires intensively at the MS with infantry firepower, any MS pilot will be frightened. .And when a hundred Poru gathered together to play a dense salvo coverage, it was even more terrifying.

When the quantity accumulates to a certain extent, qualitative changes will occur.

"It's BALL, Iron Ball! The goddamn Lord Space, even the Iron Ball Sea of ​​UC World has been created in this world!"

Akafir recognized what was going on at a glance. After obtaining the consent of the commander, he asked for a communicator to express his opinion to the MS pilots in the entire fleet.,

"The space forces of the Atlantic Alliance are currently playing iron ball sea tactics. This new enemy weapon, which I call the iron ball, is modified from a space maintenance capsule.

"If I didn’t make a mistake in my judgment, those spherical guys are extremely slow, have poor steering and flexibility, but the artillery on their heads must have a terrifying caliber. It can do a blow to our mobile suit. The effect is sure to kill! But considering the recoil factor, the muzzle velocity of these artillery guns will be much slower, and the accuracy of hitting will not be very high, but you must not take it lightly, because this cannon fodder weapon is to pursue one-sided maximum Firepower kills."

"Roughly judged by the radar, the specific numbers of the enemy's spherical weapons are still in the statistics, but they are definitely more than a thousand units. They are standard cannon fodder units. They play a method of intensive platoon fire and wide coverage. If our army uses the tactics of MS to concentrate on the frontal breakthrough, as it did in the past, it will be in the middle of it..."

While Akafiel said, he ordered the tactical commander on the Apollo to conduct battlefield modeling exercises and simulate a frontal breakthrough based on his understanding of the weapon’s performance and tactical characteristics based on the subject’s perspective. The result of the defense line composed of MA and iron ball.

Then the result of the deduction is: if we force a frontal breakthrough, our mobile suit will suffer great losses under the cover of the opponent's powerful firepower.

Akafiel said to the tactical commander on the Apollo:

"The biggest weakness of this combination is that although the firepower of the iron ball is very strong, the biggest problem is that it is extremely slow and cannot keep up with the high speed of the MA. It is also very difficult to keep up with the cruising speed of the space battleship. A mobile battlefield."

"what do you mean....."

Having had the subject's experience, Akafiel saw at a glance the weakness of the enemy's combination of iron ball and MA in combat.

He said to Luoyan Kram: "The Atlantic Alliance of the United Earth has a complete set of industrial belts in the Ptolemy Fortress. These iron balls should be the cannon fodder weapons piled up crazy in the past six months, using space factories. The repair capsule produced is added to the battlefield with a large-caliber artillery. Its trick is nothing more than taking advantage of the weightlessness of space. Theoretically, as long as the pilot’s oxygen is not exhausted, it can be held in space without limitation. The result of long-range firepower intensive shooting suppression and gambling shooting to get hit rate."

Akafil suggested:

"Don't rush to attack directly. The purpose of the enemy fleet is just to contain our army, and it is determined that it will all retreat when the situation is not good. Space is three-dimensional. There are at least five directions of attack! Put the MS fleet When they go out, their mobile units and fleets are constantly spinning around them, enticing their MA and iron balls to move. The huge speed difference between the two will cause them to gradually separate from each other in the movement..."

Under his instructions, Zaft's MS troops did not rush to storm the Atlantic Alliance fleet that seemed to be fleeing.

"The main forces of this group of Atlantic Alliance came out in full force. The purpose of their campaign is not to fight us at all, but to drag time with us. But we should not be afraid to drag time, because time is on our side." The beginning of Operation Chicken meant that the military significance of the enemy's tactics to contain our army had been lost. At this time, they would only want to keep the fleet and then retreat.But it is extremely difficult and troublesome to recover MA in high-speed motion in space.MA can keep up with the speed of the battleship to retreat, but Bolu moves slowly, and when the fleet retreats, it will inevitably become a discard!""

Under the advice of Akafir, the MS tactical steering group of the headquarters quickly formulated a new combat plan.The Zaft MS, who attacked, began to circle around the opponent's mobile unit fleet, and did not rush to attack.

Under the burden of Akafir, Zaft’s pilots quickly discovered the big problem of MA and Bolu iron ball in combat: MA is extremely fast, while Bolu iron ball crawls slowly. .

In order to adapt to the slow speed of the Bolu Iron Ball, the MA that cooperated with it had to slow down so that it could keep up.

"This thing is best adapted to the battlefield and tactics. It should be a mobile artillery unit as a guarding force, or as a mobile suppressing artillery for the battlefield when attacking an enemy's fixed stronghold. The Earth Alliance incorporates them into mobile units to play against opponents It was a big mistake."

Akafiel relied on his "prophet" to see through Polu's old bottom in the first place.Under the arrangement of the tactical command room, the Zaft MS fleet, with twelve units as a squad, was like an African hyena surrounding the herd. At the beginning, it did not rush to attack, but circled the opponent. The MA constantly "moods" and lures the enemy MA to move in a dense spherical array.

"If you don't have complete confidence, don't rush to attack!"

"Be careful not to get caught in the cover of the enemy's dense artillery array"

"Motion warfare, sports warfare, we must lure the enemy MA and Boru to run!"

"The space is huge. The space battlefield is three-dimensional. There are six angles to launch attacks. As long as they run, MA and Bolu will be out of touch with each other!"

"The fighting spirit of the Earth United Space Forces is not enough. Once they can't help but want to retreat, the current dense hedgehog array will destroy itself."

"Don't worry, after the hammer-and-cock action starts, it's time for a showdown!"

Chapter 64 Iron Ball Cannon Fodder Sea

Whether in the old era or in the new era, precious pilots are the most expensive arms.The training of every qualified pilot requires a huge amount of time and a huge cost of spare parts.This is true for both the MA and the MS. The MS pilots of the Zaft Army require four months of training on average, and the combined MA pilots also need nearly half a year to meet the requirements of the battlefield.

However, the training time for Bolu Iron Ball pilots was extremely short.Even if it is a natural human pilot, after a short training for two or three months, he can drive the slow Bolu and serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield.This is a very cheap consumable from weapons to cost.(Hereinafter referred to as Bolu)

After the end of the first World Tree campaign, after the Atlantic Alliance army faced the MS crisis, in a hurry, someone proposed to use a space maintenance capsule with a 155mm short-barrel cannon to form the simplest MS.This MS has 36 rounds of ammunition with a huge 155mm caliber, ensuring that the shells it fires can cause huge damage when it hits Zaft’s MS.Even if the Gundam is equipped with PS armor, the same part cannot withstand its two consecutive hits.

In this battle, the Atlantic Alliance side invested as much as 1,500 iron balls at one time.

——This is still the first batch of Pollus to enter the battlefield, and more Pollus will continue to enter the battlefield in the future.

In order to send these cannon fodder units to the city of Copernicus, the Atlantic Alliance military also requisitioned a large number of civilian ships in the past few months and transformed them into Bolu transport ships.Compared with the bulky MS and MA, Bolu is much smaller, and a small transport ship can easily load more than a dozen units.

The so-called Hedong for thirty years, Hexi for thirty years.

During the first World Tree campaign, the Zaft Space Force had to use a large number of auxiliary battleships modified from civilian ships due to insufficient space ships.Less than half a year later, the Atlantic Alliance, which was forced into a dilemma by its opponents, also copied the other side’s approach in the previous war: half of the Atlantic Alliance’s military that participated in the war was transformed from civilian spacecraft. of.

The cruel war caused humans to rack their brains and put all their power into the killing.

As the daughter of Patrick Sarah, whether it is Alice or Aslan, she hates killing in her temperament.But after Akafil’s “brainwashing” prepared for a long time, they kept watching videos of atrocities committed by the Atlantic Alliance troops all over the world. When the two girls participated in the war, they were ideological. Think that he is participating in a just battle.

When humans are killing each other, they occupy the morally commanding side. When fighting, they can let go of their hands and feet to kill.

Counting Bolu, the number of mobile forces invested by the Atlantic Alliance in this campaign is nearly five times that of the Zaft Space Force.This is a confrontation between standard quantity and quality.If the two sides continue to fight endlessly.Zaft may be able to win, but in the end, he must lose a lot.

At the beginning, the fighting forces on both sides were testing each other.

On the Zaft side, under the early warning of Akafiel, the MS forces were actively dispersed, surrounding the Atlantic Alliance military forces that had shrunk into a group, and they continued to conduct probing and contact operations, and tried to bring the enemy's MA and wave together. Lu scattered.

The Atlantic Alliance also learned the lessons of the previous battle. Its mobile forces have been trying hard to lure opponents’ mobile suits into the air defense firepower of their fleet, using MA to cooperate with the air defense firepower, plus a huge The Balus Sea mobile support firepower, unite to annihilate it.

This tactic was proposed by Halbaton, commander of the Eighth Fleet, the intelligent general of the Earth Union.

The commanders of both sides are all discerning people, they understand their own strengths and the enemy's weaknesses, and they all work hard to draw the opponent's troops into their own fighting rhythm.

At the beginning, Zaft's MS troops and opponents circulated in space for nearly an hour.The Zaft army is the main attacker, and the earth unites the main defense, but no one can pull the opponent's troops into the fighting rhythm they want.

In the first round of the battle between the two armies, Zaft’s side, Jiutai Xigu, under the leadership of the three Zero Goulders, and relying on the outstanding performance of the ace pilot, successfully cleared the opponent 15 in an area. Taiwan’s MA and ninety-four stations of Bolu.The already lost only three Xigu.

The main reason is the existence of ace pilots.However, the MS that was lost was in the battle, and was unlucky enough to encounter the enemy's Bolu iron ball in an unreasonable volley of fire, and then was unluckily hit under the cover of dense bullet rain.

Limbs, causing severe damage to the mecha limbs.

But it was only the best performing troop.

But on the entire battlefield, in the first hour of the battle, the Zaft military’s MS destroyed only 58 enemy MAs, Bolu nearly 500, and destroyed a few auxiliary battleships and small ships. Nearly 100 MA were injured.However, for his own loss, more than 20 mobile suits were destroyed, and more than forty mobile suits were wounded to varying degrees. They had to return to the mothership to receive repairs and replace the broken hands and feet-the owner of the Bolu Iron Ball. The reason why a cannon with a shortened barrel is used is to ensure the effect of breaking the defense with one blow.Of course, because Bolu's armor is extremely thin, almost nothing, the "lucky injured" Bolu on the battlefield is extremely small.

Part of the MS that Zaft lost was that his MS pilot had the experience of a big victory in the last battle. In the battle, he was too self-righteous, and eventually rushed too quickly into the enemy's battle rhythm.For example, when chasing the opponent's mobile unit, Bolu, who encountered his opponent, relied on a huge number of advantages, and unreasonably assembled dozens or even a hundred Bolu, aiming at one MS to fire.

When the number reaches a certain level, attacking the enemy’s mobile suits can unreasonably assemble a large number of Bolu, and conduct a "full map" coverage shooting to achieve a hit rate.

Half of the MS lost by the Zaft military were damaged by the opponent's unreasonable coverage shooting.

In less than an hour, the Zaft Space Army paid five percent of the total loss of MS troops, 11 percent of the MS was damaged, and nearly one-sixth of its combat power was lost.The MA that destroyed and injured the opponent accounted for one-third, and Bolu, who existed as cannon fodder, also lost nearly one-third.

Compared with the nearly one-sided massacre on the battlefield in the last World Tree campaign, although the Atlantic Alliance lost a huge amount, the exchange ratio of the losses between the two sides is not as ridiculous as it was last time.On the scene, Zaft's side, combined with calculations, can only be regarded as an exchange ratio of about one-third.
