Gundam, but from the Ground Alliance to the Human Alliance to the out-of-control servitor

"Understood. Do you want Sergeant Amuro to pay attention to the enemy's captain's aircraft?"

"Platinum, if possible, please try to draw the enemy plane closer."

Captain Blade's face looked a bit struggling, which would undoubtedly increase the danger to the White Base, even if the Dopp fighter, as a light interceptor designed for air control, has limited capabilities against ships;

But for the White Base, which is still trapped in the area controlled by the Zeon Army, any seemingly inconspicuous small wounds gradually accumulate, and there will eventually be a moment when quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, causing an irreparable reduction in the White Base's combat capabilities. .

'With Amuro...and Platinum here, if we can really shoot down the Zeon Commander-in-Chief's aircraft...the command of the Zeon army here might fall into chaos, and the White Base would be easier to escape... ...No, but it might make the Zeon army more united in the name of revenge...'

Various considerations were mixed together in Captain Brad's mind, which was already a little confused due to staying up all night, and Platinum naturally saw it all;

"I have received the order, Captain Blade, but in the worst possible scenario, all ship-based missiles will be used. Is this okay?"

'The current white base itself is not in a perfect state that can exert its full capabilities. '

Platinum turned around and asked a question, forcing Captain Blade to divert his attention from his chaotic thoughts.

"Then there is no way out...just follow this battle plan."

As soon as Captain Blade finished speaking, the vertical launch module on the front and rear decks of the White Base quickly opened, and dozens of missiles soared into the sky from the launch silo trailing flames and thick smoke.

Chapter 42: Encounter on a narrow road (3)

While the Zeon Army continued to collect intelligence leaked from the White Base during the battle, Platinum was also evaluating the Zeon Air Force's techniques and tactics and the pilot's habits;

This time, before Kalma planned to launch a salvo of missiles equipped with armor-piercing warheads, Platinum launched White Base's anti-air missiles one step ahead.

"Karmas..."

"I saw it! Don't worry, continue to attack!"

Karma seemed determined. The Zeon Air Force fighter that jumped down from high altitude had a huge energy advantage. Coupled with the information obtained from the previous battle videos, the Federation warship was not equipped with high-performance weapons for use in the atmosphere. anti-air missiles;

"Maintain the launch position and never retreat at a time like this!"

If evasive maneuvers were initiated at this time in advance to prepare for the missiles launched by the Federation warships, it would mean that the Zeon air force fleet attacking from above and from behind would be unable to carry out a coordinated saturation strike.

Karma turned on the engine afterburner mode of his aircraft and stared at the dozens of incoming small light spots with all his attention. The federal warship was turning to advance below.

The size of the Dopp fighter's magazine determines that the range of the light missiles it carries must be limited, and the federal warship spread a high concentration of rice particles around itself. The guidance effect at the end of the missile cannot be guaranteed, and it must be close. Only when launched from a certain distance can the attack be effective.

"All of them, pay attention to the missile lock mode, target the bridge directly above the enemy ship and the close-in defense gun on the deck - fire!"

As he spoke, eight consecutive anti-armor missiles were fired from the leading Kalma aircraft, and the subsequent Dopp fighter jets also followed closely behind the Kalma, firing a dense barrage;

After confirming that the entire team had completed the launch of the missiles and would not interfere with each other, Kalma took advantage of the last opportunity to throw out a heat decoy bomb, rolled out of the dive, pulled up, and skillfully deceived the incoming federal army. air missile.

But not every Dopp fighter pilot can have such quick reactions and make correct maneuver judgments at the last moment.

Two lightweight Dopp fighter jets were instantly shot down by missiles that exploded in the air, and one was tightly locked by two Federation missiles. It seemed that it had entered the no-escape zone.

"The missiles are coming. The number exceeds 100. Be careful to avoid them and prepare to intercept them."

'It's more like a rocket launcher nest. '

Platinum's expression was a little stiff——

While tracking and locking three-digit incoming missiles, coordinate and assign targets to the shipboard air defense system, Guntank and Guncannon, a variety of anti-air weapons with completely different performance, and also maintain awareness of the surrounding situation. Platinum's hardware usage has also reached a peak.

A Dopp fighter jet that can carry 12 missiles on a single plane will be quite scary once multiple planes form a team to attack; although this is at the expense of the power of a single missile.

After seeing that the missiles of the Zeon Army had been launched, the White Base lowered its altitude, clung to the hillside, and immediately began to turn in the opposite direction. At the same time, all the attitude adjustment nozzles that were usually used in the universe were also opened, pushing the White Base forward. The number dodged to one side.

Naturally, all the close-in defense guns of the White Base were fired, creating a three-dimensional and dense fire net in the air.

"Fire, fire!"

"Be accurate! This number is no joke!"

Kobayashi Hayato gritted his teeth, facing the dense enemy target marks on the screen, and pressed the trigger of the Guntank repeatedly. The Guntank's main gun shells were fired almost as soon as they were loaded.

Guncannon and Guntank stood on both sides of the White Base like guardians, pouring their own artillery fire on the incoming Zeon fighters and missiles. Balls of air-exploded anti-aircraft bombs sprayed rain-like prefabricated shrapnel in the air. .

"Boom-boom-"

As the missiles approached, a series of exploding fireballs bloomed in the air, but new missiles continued to emerge from the black clouds. Some of them did not fly in the direction of the White Base at all, but under the huge strike coverage , there is always the inevitable White Base number.

Bai Jin lowered the armor protection cover of the bridge, and at the same time, in the last few seconds before the bomb was launched, he chose to retract all the close-in anti-guns under the protection of the hull armor;

"The entire ship is prepared to respond to the impact, repeat, the entire ship..."

The hull of the White Base was vibrating slightly. The impact of the armor-piercing warhead used by the Zeon army this time was not as good as the previous high-explosive warhead, but the metal jet that rushed in at high speed could actually cut through. The armor of the White Base.

Suddenly, dozens of error messages were transmitted to Platinum's computing center. In addition, even everyone on the ship could directly feel that the White Base's movement speed suddenly slowed down as it spun out of control. One piece.

"Commander Kalma, we observed a sharp decrease in the enemy ship's anti-aircraft firepower!"

The Zeon pilot reported excitedly, but knowing the identity of himself and his commander, he wisely informed Karma of the news first.

The Dopp fighter fleet, which did not fire all the ammunition at once, circled around the white Base, shrouded in the flash of light from multiple missile hits, like vultures preparing to fight for a corpse.

"Haha, very good! Fire the signal flare and the operation enters the second stage! Don't worry about me, start attacking freely!"

Three consecutive red flares symbolizing the launch of a general attack were fired from the Dopp fighter jets that continued to dive down. From the middle of the canyon in front, and from the reverse slope below the ridge line, two Gawu-class aircraft carriers airdropped six Zakus. They rushed out together.

The first wave of supersaturation strikes suppressed the enemy ship's anti-aircraft firepower and destroyed the enemy ship's maneuverability. At the same time, the second wave of Dopp fighter jets came closer to conduct direct fire, and together with the ambushed Zaku, completely destroyed the enemy ship's combat capability——

This is Kalma's plan; and as a back-up, they are the two Gawu-class aircraft carriers still hidden in the surrounding areas, including the one in charge of his best friend Char. If the federal warship can still hold on, Stop and ask them to use the Mega Particle Cannon to deliver the final blow.

"It was discovered that the enemy ground force Zaku, numbering 6, was approaching; the remaining enemy aircraft, numbering 9, also began to rush into the inner air defense circle."

Platinum began to speak faster, which proved that as the enemy approached, the reaction time of the White Base was being compressed.

The huge Mega particle turrets on the left and right sides of the White Base have opened their fairings, and the thick beams of light swept forward, destroying everything in front of them——

However, the driver of the Zeon Army Zaku was quite alert. When he saw Shirogane starting to rotate the turret, he had already started to make irregular evasive actions. However, the sensitivity of the main turret rotation motor was limited;

The Mega particle beam streaked across the ground and fell into the air, but the violent explosion caused still pushed it to one side. Zaku staggered a few steps before regaining his balance.

At this time, under the guidance of Platinum, the artillery fire of Guncannon and Guntank had arrived at the same time.

This was only one machine, and the other five Zakus continued to rush over. Zaku, who was carrying a rocket launcher, immediately fired rockets at the White Base, preventing Platinum from immediately using the close-in defense cannon at the bottom of the ship. Suppress the approaching Zaku;

Zaku, who was also equipped with a machine gun, fired at the protruding close-defense turrets on the sides and bottom of the White Base;

The more agile Dopp fighter was also approaching at this time.

'There are 2 more, 1 more, and 3 close defense turrets are disconnected...' A new system error report was refreshed in Platinum's background. Continuous damage has caused loopholes in the White Base's air defense network.

As a defensive weapon, Platinum must try to cover the entire perimeter of the ship, while the Zeon attack force only needs to find a defensive loophole in one direction to break in. This is relatively speaking for the defensive side. Bear the natural disadvantages.

"Let Amuro attack and attack Zeon's air force first. Leave the ground forces to Ryu, Hayato and Kai to deal with it!"

Captain Brad chose to put his treasure on Amuro.

He pressed his hands on both sides of his seat and widened his bloodshot eyes. The White Base had already paid a considerable cost, and now it was up to him whether he could catch the big fish of Kalma with such losses.

"Understood, Captain Blade!"

Amuro replied firmly, pushing the output of the propulsion backpack to the maximum, and the Gundam, half squatting in the shadow under the bow hangar of the White Base, jumped up into the air.

Unlike Zaku, the Gundam, which uses Luna titanium alloy as the main material of its body, can achieve a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 1 when it deliberately does not carry a shield and only carries one beam sword to reduce weight;

Coupled with the afterburner jump of the body itself when it leaves the ground, although it is still far from the flight performance of a serious fighter jet, it can still be achieved by simply floating in the air for a short period of time.

"what is that……"

The first Dopp fighter pilot to swoop down from above saw a white shadow suddenly emerge from the bow of the White Base. He subconsciously twisted the control stick, trying to avoid it——

A mega particle beam flashed through and penetrated Dopp's fuselage effortlessly.

"It's the Federal Army's mobile suit. The Federal Army's mobile suit is flying!"

The Dopp fighter's attack formation was suddenly disrupted by the Gundam.

"What... is that the Federation Army's mobile suit?"

Karma thought he had a chance to win, but his desire to express his 'general style' came back intermittently, so he didn't rush to be the first to rush forward, but this happened to save his life;

His Dopp fighter happened to be not on the axis where the Gundam rushed out, and was not attacked immediately.

"Don't even think about getting close to the White Base!"

With a rush of energy, Amuro pulled the trigger repeatedly in the cockpit of the Gundam, destroying another Dopp fighter that passed by the Gundam.

"That's not flying. The Federation's mobile suits just use high thrust to force themselves into the air. They won't last long like this!"

Karma piloted the Dopp fighter plane, drew a semicircle horizontally in the air, and circled around the rear hemisphere of the Gundam that was beginning to fall downwards to observe——

During the interception battle yesterday afternoon, he had never seen this aircraft come out.

'How light is this Federation mobile suit, and how high the thrust is to achieve this level...' Kalma, who had also flown Zaku in a gravity environment, silently made a comparison;

"Team 4 continues to attack the federal warships. The remaining Dopp fighters follow me and destroy the enemy's mobile suits!"

When the mobile suit that has always been the support of the Zeon army and to some extent even the totem of the country appeared, and it was in the air, Karma's long-term fixed thinking made Karma immediately raise the threat level of the Gundam to the highest level.

Relatively speaking, the Guncannon and Guntank on the ground did not attract Karma's attention, but for the remaining Zaku facing them, it was not that simple.

"Give... fall down!"

The Zaku pilot controlled the aircraft to run and jump on the uneven terrain, avoiding the close-range firepower of the federal warship, while firing continuously at the dull-looking aircraft with the Zaku machine gun.

The two Zaku teams originally wanted to leave the two looking strange, but one of them was even a mobile suit with a tracked chassis like a tank, and immediately suppressed the close-in defense cannon of the federal warship;

However, the firepower of the two MSs was not ordinary. Under the interference of their bombardment, Zaku's pilots were unable to devote themselves wholeheartedly to attacking the Federation. Although the close defense turret was damaged, the firepower was still fierce in the undamaged areas. During the battleship attack.

So when Zaku, now of the Zeon Army, decided to kill the two Federation MSs blocking the road first, Zaku's pilots suddenly discovered that the two MSs not only had fierce firepower, but also had ridiculously thick armor.

A series of 120mm caliber Zaku machine gun bullets hit the back of Guncannon, who was shooting at Zaku in another direction, and then knocked Guncannon staggering——

Guncannon regained its footing, turned around, as if remembering that it shouldn't stay in place all the time during the battle, ran straight forward at a constant speed, and began to use the short-barreled cannon on its shoulder and the beam rifle in its hand again. Shoot this way together;

None of these weapons can withstand Zaku's armor.

"[Side 3 swearing], is the machine gun in my hand a fake?"

Zaku's pilot roared angrily, but this could not save his fate. At the same time, it should be noted that it was difficult for a single pilot to avoid the multiple close-defense turrets on the Federation battleship and the shooting of the Federation MS. Completed tasks.

Zaku's pilot made a mistake, or maybe he didn't make a mistake, but his threat level in the Platinum backstage was raised by one level. Zaku's legs were swept by the fire chain fired from the close-in defense cannon at the bottom of the White Base. Instantly lost the ability to walk.

Then, Kai, who was driving Guncannon, immediately seized the opportunity and opened fire continuously, completely engulfing the Zaku in a burst of explosions;

Before that, 6 of the 2 attacking Zagu aircraft carrying anti-ship rocket launchers were all destroyed before they could achieve much success.

Chapter 43: Encounter on a narrow road (4)

"Miss Platinum, the bottom of the ship was shot! There were breaches in two cabins, and someone was thrown out!"

"Calm down, please go to the N-371 cabin... and release... Yes, go forward about 13 meters in the direction of your left hand, open the safety cover, pull the red wrench to release the self-sealing... material, sizzle"

Although the close proximity to the undulating ground helped the White Base avoid a lot of long-range artillery fire from the Zeon army, and it was also a great restriction on the attack route of the Zeon air force, it also allowed Zaku, who was airborne here first, to Ability to attack from closer locations.

'The hull shell is broken... The level of countermeasures has been improved. Error code 3-291. Meter particles have spread into the hull compartment from the breach. Some electronic components around the damaged area have begun to malfunction. Try to let the crew control the damage manually. . '

After all, the White Base is a battleship designed to carry mobile weapons such as mobile suits, and it also needs to fight in the atmosphere. The empty cabins inside the hull are incomparable to the filled concrete blocks like the Marco Polo class.

"Miss Platinum, I have already opened it, and then...Miss Platinum, can Miss Platinum hear you?!"

Several round sealed capsules, like elastic balls, rolled out of the secret door on the corridor wall, rolling staggeringly towards the breach with the pressure difference inside and outside the ship;

When they were about to roll out of the hull through the breach, these sealed capsules exploded all at once, and the sealing material inside rapidly expanded and became larger, getting stuck in the breach in the hull.

The crew of the White Base stood in front of the ship's communicator and shouted anxiously, "If you have any questions about operations, you can ask Ms. Platinum." This consensus has already spread on the White Base.

"...Please feel whether the air flow in the cabin has calmed down again, and confirm whether the breach is completely sealed."

Platinum's reply was unusually delayed.

"Attention, turn sharp left!"

"Everyone, please prepare your posture to resist impact."

On the bridge of the White Base, Milai turned the rudder fiercely, allowing the White Base to stick close... No, he was already scraping against the mountain and hiding behind it, hoping to temporarily block the Zeon army Zaku's sight and delay it for a while. Zaku's offensive.

"There is only one close-in defense gun left on the starboard side at the bottom, Captain Blade; there seems to be a new Zeon fighter coming to support from behind."

Captain Brad clenched his fists and felt a sense of discomfort for no reason as he watched the hard-working white-haired beautiful girl turning sideways and calmly waiting for his further instructions.

"No... we will be fine. We will lower the height of the hull and fly as close to the ground as possible, so that the close-in defense guns on the upper part of the hull can also be put to use. Now the enemy's air force is being restrained by Amuro. Stop, let him find a way to shoot down the enemy's captain plane as soon as possible!"

"Understood, but the ammunition for the Gundam's beam rifle has been consumed a considerable amount of times. There are still at most 5 shooting opportunities before it may need to return to the ship for resupply."

Shirogane adjusted the optical lens outside the ship. Although there were a few cracks on it due to the previous bombardment by the Zeon army, it could still be used with difficulty, and transmitted the scene of Amuro's battle to the bridge of the White Base.
