Gundam, Iron Banner

Chewing this word in his mouth, You Bai received the mission report, feeling a little uneasy.

He remembered what happened when he first came to this world. If the Black Otter team hadn't arrived in time to carry out the suppression activities, he would have died at Zaku's feet long ago.

However, this kind of purge operation is carried out by myself, so I can't help but feel a little uneasy.

Different from the universe, the mobility advantage of mobile suits in ground battles will be greatly reduced, plus the possibility of entering urban areas to fight, just thinking about it makes You Bai feel constrained.

Carl saw through his thoughts at a glance, and smiled knowingly: "Worried about causing innocent casualties?"

You Bai frowned and asked, "Is this kind of thinking strange?"

Hearing the rhetorical question, Karl opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something to comfort You Bai, but he couldn't say anything in the end.He sat cross-legged, raised his head, and stared at the ceiling with a blank vision, as if he was thinking about this question seriously.

After a long time, he said helplessly: "No one would want to do this kind of thing. But it is inevitable that the repression will affect the innocent..."

You Bai didn't know how to speak, he was in a bad mood.

Think about it too, the reason why Titans' reputation is poor is not because of its rough style.In order to quickly defeat the enemy, most Titans don't care about the life and death of civilians.houses?personal property?Don't mention these things, it's good not to be trampled to death.

Perhaps realizing You Bai's melancholy, Karl patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't think too much, no matter how great the sacrifice is, it's not our problem. In the final analysis, it's all about those damned Jeans. You say, if they don't mess around all day, can we make a move? It's all the fault of those bastards! "

You Bai pursed his lips and didn't speak.He instinctively felt that there was something wrong with the other party's statement, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was, so he had no choice but to refrain from expressing his opinion.

Carl was stared at with hairs all over his body: "Don't look at me with an unhappy face. We are soldiers, and obeying orders is the most important thing! I can understand your feelings, but now is not the time to think about such things."

"……you're right."

Not all things have to be distinguished who is right and who is wrong, and the difference in thinking cannot be explained in a few words.You Bai felt that there was no need to be entangled in this, so he shook his head, got up and ended the topic.

"Let's not talk about this, Carl, come with me to a simulated battle. I have never fought a ground battle, and I need to get familiar with it."

Karl stood up as if nothing had happened, and laughed, "That's right. Today, Mrs. Karl, I'm going to let you know what the majesty of a senior is! — Hey, are you listening?"

"Mmmmmm, fine."

"So perfunctory!?"

Chapter 23: Combat

The small meeting room was crowded with people, and the smell was not very pleasant.

"—The above is the whole content of this battle, pay attention to avoiding civilian casualties as much as possible, do you hear me clearly?"

Wes Murphy stood on the podium, waving his pointer and talking to the projection.Standing next to him was Major Otto, the commander and captain of Jinping Island. There were more than a dozen soldiers sitting under the stage, most of whom were dressed in Titans uniforms. Only You Bai and a few young ordinary federal officers stood against the wall. at the edge.

The meeting was very boring, the tactics were formulated by the team leader, You Bai had read the briefing a long time ago, and the person on the stage didn't come up with any new tricks, so it was boring to listen to.

Most of the members of the Titans have casual expressions, and there is no tension, as if the battle is just an ordinary spring outing.Thinking about it, for elites like them, the mere remnants of the Zeon Party won't be able to make a difference at all. Even if there are more enemies, the driving skills and landlines here are enough to crush the opponents.

Compared with the elites of Titans, the few remaining federal officers are not calm enough.

Their uniforms are neat, their faces are cramped, and they hold pens as if they are facing an enemy.These officers are very young, they look a few years older than You Bai, but their unsmiling expressions make people feel that they are trying to be brave.Although it's rude to say so, they are the kind of cannon fodder that can be seen everywhere in war movies, and they don't have much distinctive features.

Taking these differences into his eyes, You Bai pondered silently.

Sure enough, ordinary officers and Titans are not the same.

Most of the Titans officers had confident smiles on their faces, and their eyes would never rest on ordinary soldiers. In the entire conference room, only Wes Murphy and Major Otto could make them pay attention.The federal officers were far from them. These people had a feeling of inferiority in front of the Titans, especially the one next to You Bai, who didn't even dare to make eye contact with the Titans members.

Compared with them, You Bai, who has no sense of tension, is actually a different kind.

This operation is carried out jointly by four small-scale troops.Including the Black Otter team, there are a total of 23 mobile suits, most of which are members of the Titans. As an elite unit, they will undertake the task of confronting the enemy head-on.And You Bai, ordinary officers who have not yet entered Titans, are responsible for ambush and luring the enemy.

After the basic operational outline was described, the officer on the stage released the team list.

The four ordinary officers were indeed assigned to be with You Bai, but unexpectedly, in addition to them, a Titansman was added as the temporary team leader.

A low voice exclaimed from the side: "Is Titans actually leading the team? I thought there were only a few of us..."

Everyone looked at the temporary captain in unison, and the man who became the focus was huddled in a corner with a displeased expression on his face.

The man's name was Lu Eugene, he was about forty years old, European, with neat short hair, and a sinister look coiled between his brows, which made him look difficult to get along with.His military rank is lieutenant, but according to the calculation method of Titans, the actual function he holds is even higher.

It seemed that You Bai and the others were staring too piercingly, he stared back and let out a slight snort.

You Bai realized that his behavior was not very polite, he nodded to him and looked away, thinking in his heart: "Being assigned to perform missions with ordinary officers, could it be that you have been marginalized?"

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the colleagues around him. They had strange expressions on their faces, and they probably thought the same in their hearts.

Soon, the meeting ended and everyone dispersed.

You Bai rested in the dormitory for a while, always feeling a little irritable, and immediately went to the hangar to prepare for the last adjustment and maintenance of the airframe before the attack.

The hangar was packed to the brim. In addition to the several MSs already on board, there were two more "Riot-Suppressing Jims", one with a normal paint job and one with a brown paint job.

At the foot of the machine, there are two strange shadows.

Lieutenant Eugene stood side by side with a young federal officer. They looked up at the MS, and they were muttering something. You Bai couldn't hear clearly, but they probably were discussing about the MS. They seemed to have a good relationship.

But the strange thing is, from You Bai's point of view, the man in the Titans uniform had a sinister smile on his face, and the staggered light hit his face, casting half of the shadow. The devil is seducing the innocent.

You Bai was a little curious, so he leaned against the wall and watched them quietly.

Just at this time, the man turned his head to look, and his gaze was on You Bai's.

This is the second time the two sides have looked at each other, but unlike before, the other party's gaze is full of aggression, looking at this side as if seeing an incredible prey, with a strange arc drawn at the corner of the mouth, as if mocking something.

You Bai was a little puzzled, did you do anything to displease him?

Just as he was about to leave, Eugene kicked his foot on the ground and floated towards this side, blocking You Bai's way.

With a contemptuous smile on his face, he said condescendingly: "Why, people in your Black Otter team like to listen to whispers?"

You Bai frowned slightly, feeling very displeased: "Please go back to the room and tell me in a whisper, no one will care if you play the piano and say you love. Now, please excuse me, I'm going to maintain the body."

"..."

Eugene's eyes gradually became menacing. If it was just a little contempt before, now it was like hail in the severe winter, hitting his face with pain.

You Bai has a strong personality, it's fine to say nice things to people he knows, and he won't be stepped on by strangers.Facing the unreasonable malice, he put on a poker face and pushed back, without any intention of giving in.

The relationship between the two parties reached a freezing point in an instant, and it was not surprising that conflicts would break out at any time.

Just at this time, Karl, who had previously agreed to maintain the airframe together, arrived at the scene.Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly stood in front of You Bai, staring at Eugene with raised eyebrows.

The man put away his previous dangerous gaze, and stared at Carl with the eyes of a fool, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered, "Come to protect the calf? Wes Murphy is promising, and all the brats are recruited." Turn on MS."

Listening to him pointing his nose and scolding the captain, Carl was not angry, and laughed out loud: "Are you talking about age? When White Meteor drove Gundam, he was still in his teens. For a small character like you, ten bundles of one piece I'm afraid it's not enough to give people a gap between their teeth. Oh, I almost forgot, I remember you were killed by Amuro Ray's AI in a simulated battle?"

"Sharp teeth as always." Eugene glared at him, then glanced over You Bai's face again, raised his eyebrows, "You mean, this kid is a new human?"

"Sorry! No comment!"

Carl put his hands on his hips, a proud smile on his face.

Lieutenant Eugene was obviously not very good at dealing with people like Carl, so he didn't say anything, just spit lightly, turned and left.

You Bai was stunned for a while, and waited for the man's back to disappear from the corner, then tilted his head and asked, "Where did you play?"

Carl shrugged: "Don't pay attention to him, he's just a loser."

"A defeated dog?"

"You Bai, you are not a member of the Titans system. It's normal if you haven't heard of him. This person's nickname is Wild Wolf, and he looks like a mad dog in fights. His driving skills are really good, and his military achievements are outstanding, but his character is not good. Too good."

A name I've never heard of...

You Bai didn't quite understand: "I don't know him, and I've never had anything to do with him. Why is he bothering me?"

Carl's gaze was a little subtle.

"It's never been related, that's not true... Remember the transfer of prisoners before? They are the executives named by the superiors. As a result, something went wrong with them, and in the end the entire team was disbanded. He I am also downgraded from captain to lieutenant. With this little ability, he still has the cheek to act wildly, you say, what is it if he is not a prodigal dog?"

You Bai pursed his lips and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "He's really right, Karl, you really have sharp teeth."

"Go, go, stop talking. When you turn around, you should pay attention to yourself and be careful not to trip him up. After all, you captured the prisoner who caused him to be demoted... Also, don't really offend him, that guy is Basque Ohm people, you understand?"

You Bai waved his hand, replied "Understood", and turned his eyes back to the direction where the man left, feeling a little uneasy.

Chapter 24: Ambush

Soon, the Aswin sailed to the 2th area of ​​SIDE13 where the mission was to be carried out.

Although this area is occupied by the Zeon remnants, under the current political environment where Titans is in power, it is absolutely impossible for the head of the area to completely rely on Zeon. Even if he agrees with Zeonism in his heart, no one is really willing to be liquidated .

Not to mention that SIDE2 has a unique folk style. There are many rich people living in it. They even own real estate on the earth. How can such people stick to the remnants of Jean?Obviously closer to the Titans who embrace earth supremacy.

Thus, under the influence of insiders, more than [-] machines belonging to the Federation sneaked into it.

With the help of the insiders, the Minovsky particles slowly spread, and everyone relied on this to avoid the enemy's radar and arrive at the combat location.

You Bai and others were assigned in the man-made mountain forest.This is a good place. It is difficult for the opponent to observe this side, but this side can attack condescendingly, which is very suitable for ambushes.

"α3, report the situation on the scene, where is the enemy now?"

"Understood! The enemy is still, about 9 kilometers away from the predetermined location, please instruct!"

His teammate's voice sounded from the helmet. His voice sounded very young, probably because he was not used to MS battles. He stuttered and sounded a little nervous.

You Baiduan sat in the cockpit, his eyes flicked between the monitor and the radar, and he corrected softly: "To be precise, it should be in the direction of seven o'clock, 8.24 kilometers."

"……Yes."

The voice of α3 is a bit muffled.You Bai was about to say something more, when suddenly Eugene's admonishing voice came from the earphones: "α2! We are in combat now, so don't speak casually!"

"learn."

You Bai reluctantly responded, muttering to himself, it's just to correct mistakes, is it worth being so sensitive?

Under the action of Minovsky particles, the radar can't play much role, it all depends on the visual distance.

Unlike the veteran "Jim" driven by his teammates, Youbai's body is very good at finding the enemy. The accuracy and imaging performance of the head are very good, even surpassing the sniper MS during the One Year War.

On top of that, You Bai's own intuition is also quite keen, and he is very good at calculating distances.

It's a pity that he was not assigned to play a role in the back row. Instead, Lieutenant Eugene placed him in the closest position to the battlefield. He was ambushed in the same place as the lieutenant himself, which was relatively dangerous.

It seems that there is suspicion of public revenge, but You Bai doesn't think there is any problem.There must be someone blocking the front row, and his MS performance is good enough, so the probability of surviving is much higher than the drivers behind who are driving miscellaneous fish.What's more, Eugene's special "Jim the Rioter" is lying on his stomach beside him. If anything happens, he has to stand with him.

The enemy's patrol troops approached step by step, and they were about to walk across the path. They rested their hands on the fire button, but did not rush to press it.

The battle plan required them to wait until the enemy had completely entered the encirclement before attacking, and now the opponent could only count as one foot in the encirclement.

"It's almost... huh?"

You Bai held his breath and concentrated, ready to shoot.But it was also at this time that he suddenly felt a strong malice from behind.

The malice was like a raging wave, almost engulfing him, causing him to lose his mind for a moment.

"No... things are going to happen, this familiar chill, is it killing intent? And it's not aimed at me—"

As if to test the bad premonition in his heart, a "Riot Jim" in the back row stood up ahead of time, picked up the beam gun, aimed at "Zaku" and fired the first shot.

It was like a signal. At the moment when the attack started, the voice of the squad leader, Lieutenant Eugene, suddenly came out from the headset: "All fire!"

"what!?"

You Bai looked sideways, with a look of horror on his face.

Sensing malice half a second earlier, he wanted to stop his teammates from attacking, but it was too late, the opponent had already discovered the existence of the ambush.Following Eugene's order, several guns fired at the same time, and the live ammunition and light beams burst out on the ground together, blowing up the leading Zaku into a fireball.

In terms of shooting down the Zaku, the raid was a clean one. The pilot of the enemy plane didn't even have time to react before he was thrown into hell.

But for the entire battle plan, this was a complete failure.

When the enemy planes in the rear were attacked, they immediately scattered and hid in the city.

……

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield.

Carl is hiding in the forest while driving the Sniper Jim III.A little further ahead of his position is the town, and Jin's patrol force will come out from the edge of the town and circle around to investigate.Thanks to the excellent green facilities here, Karl has a hiding space, as long as the other party does not get close, he will not be found.

"As expected of the captain, whether it is the choice of the battle location or the personnel arrangement, it is just right!"

The line of sight extends out with the scope, as long as the enemy walks a short distance, he can shoot through three.Coupled with the suppression of the firepower of the ambush personnel, the opponent has nowhere to escape.

The preliminary plan came very smoothly. Whether it was site selection or the prediction of the enemy's course of action, Wes Murphy did it perfectly. At least Karl couldn't find any faults.

Unfortunately, people are not as good as God.

Just as Carl was adjusting his state and preparing to shoot, the gun went off.
