Gundam, Iron Banner

Countless lights surrounded him and drifted in the universe, You Bai stretched out his hand involuntarily, wanting to touch this bright light.He didn't wake up until he felt the hardness of the cockpit with his fingertips, and he was still in training.

It was obviously the first time he came to the universe, but You Bai felt an inexplicable sense of nostalgia. He couldn't help thinking: maybe people's souls wandered in the universe before they were born.

What a wonderful space, there is no constraint of gravity, and even the soul is free.No matter how many related descriptions he has read in books, he still cannot imagine how mysterious the universe is.

You Bai stretched his arms straight, enjoying the freedom of his soul to the fullest.Even with a layer of standard clothes separated, this sense of openness has not faded in the slightest.

"This is the real universe...!"

He thanked April from the bottom of his heart for giving him the opportunity to enter the universe, and he closed his eyes unconsciously, wanting to immerse himself in it.

As one wished, just as he was relaxing, harsh sirens suddenly sounded from the left and right sides of the seat, severely interrupting his thoughts.

"The alarm...is locked? Behind!"

Waking up suddenly, without any hesitation, You Bai made a sharp movement.Under his control, the backpack of "Riot Jim" burst into flames, and the entire machine sprinted upwards.Fortunately, the evasive action was still timely, and the two beams of light passed him by.

After making such a violent movement, You Bai felt dizzy and his blood flowed backwards, as if his internal organs were all dislocated.

"Finally escaped!"

Suppressing the discomfort in his body, You Bai heaved a sigh of relief.

The performance of the "Riot Control Jim" that he drives is quite excellent, and it is one of the main models in the current federal army.I heard that the "Hazel Gundam" driven by Captain Murphy was improved based on this model.

However, to his surprise, just as he was relaxing, a third beam of light shot from an extremely tricky angle, hitting the propulsion pack of "Riot Jim" right in the middle.

There was a strong sense of heat coming from behind, even if the power was reduced, the beam rifle could still make the temperature in the cockpit rise rapidly.

You Bai was terrified.

The moment the beam hit, it was offset by the anti-beam coating on the machine body, causing no real damage.But if this is a real actual combat, he has probably turned into cosmic dust.

Just in time, April's voice came from the helmet's intercom.

"Do you dare to be in a daze during the battle? If I were the enemy, you would be dead."

Chapter 8: Malicious

"Sorry, Lieutenant..."

You Bai felt a little ashamed.In terms of performance, the performance of the "Riot Jim" I was driving should be much better, but I was still shot down by three shots.

April is flying to the mothership Aswin.This was the agreement they had made before. After each round of battle, they would distance themselves to train their ability to advance and avoid attacks. At the same time, they could also test Yubai's wonderful intuition. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Watching the "Jim Kai" leave, You Bai couldn't help sighing in his heart: "Sure enough, the performance cannot be the decisive condition for winning or losing. In the final analysis, it still depends on the driver's skills."

After waiting for five or six minutes, he guessed that the other party should have returned to the vicinity of the mothership, so he pressed the helmet's intercom switch: "Lieutenant April, please start."

There was no female voice coming from the other end, replaced by a piercing noise.

"Has the concentration of Minovsky particles increased? Or are they too far away? Can't communicate..."

You Bai was thinking about it, when suddenly an electric current flashed through his brain, and an indescribable chill spread all over his body, he quickly concentrated his attention on manipulating the body, and the next moment, two pink light beams flew past the waist of the body.

The prepared You Bai was finally not as vulnerable as before. While avoiding the opponent's attack, he paid more attention to the farther place.At the position where the opponent launched an attack, a faint white meteor flashed past.You Bai guessed that it was the tail flame of the "Jim Mod" driven by April.

"It's so far away. Is the mothership over there? I always feel that something is wrong... Sigh, it's the first time I entered the universe, and I have no sense of direction at all."

You Bai glanced at the radar. This thing is useless at all, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "I don't know if I can make it through, so I have to give it a try."

He sprinted towards the direction where the streamer flashed, but perhaps because his charge path was too straightforward, April's attack kept blocking him.Obviously there is still a considerable distance between the two sides, but You Bai has already avoided the light three or four times, and there are burn marks on the hands and feet of the machine.

Even though he knew that the light beam with reduced power would not pose a threat, You Bai still felt an extreme sense of excitement, as if he was on the verge of life and death.

These few attacks made him calm down a bit, instead of continuing to rush forward, he found a piece of rubble slightly larger than the mobile suit to hide, thinking about tactics in his mind.

"Sure enough, my experience is still not sophisticated enough, and I can't compare with April. The streamer just flickered for a moment before disappearing, which shows that she has been hiding to wait for work. Now she will only become a target if she casually shows up. She is not like I can't shoot people……"

You Bai looked around through the screen, and before he knew it, the battlefield had shifted to the gravel zone.

"Do you want to hide in the gravel belt and touch it quietly? Generally speaking, this is a very effective tactic, but it is not a good method for me. My experience is too shallow, and I may not be able to respond to encounters. Grab the opening."

flaw……

You Bai chewed on this word and fell into deep thought.

How can a novice beat a veteran?It is impossible for ordinary tactics to work. In this case, we can only use some tricks.

He first pressed the intercom switch again, and the noise in his ears was even louder than before, as if the concentration of Minovsky particles had become higher.This is exactly what You Bai wanted.If both parties are in a situation where they can be locked, the only one who suffers is yourself.

"Try it first..."

With this in mind, he manipulated the MS to lift his left arm and throw out the pre-prepared camouflage balloon.

The camouflage balloon is the weapon that You Bai specially chose before attacking.This is a weapon that can do quite a lot.

The image of the enemy plane displayed in the cockpit is basically a CG image captured by the body camera and then processed by the computer.Therefore, in the environment of Minovsky particles, the image can only be processed optically, so that the camouflage balloon may also become the appearance of the body after computer CG processing.

Relying on this feature, the camouflage balloon has a very high tactical value.In addition, there are small mines hidden inside the camouflage balloon. If it hits the enemy, it may cause considerable trauma.

The balloon rapidly inflated into the shape of a mobile suit, and drifted towards the gravel belt.But not long after it flew out, a pink light beam penetrated it, turning it into cosmic garbage.

"Blocked? It's not easy to handle. This side is also within the field of vision. Coupled with the perceived source of malice, the lieutenant is probably deep in the gravel belt? Then it depends on luck."

You Bai released four camouflage balloons towards the gravel belt in one breath, and then drove his thrusters to the limit, rushing into the formation formed by the balloons.

Soon, the opponent's attack came.

The opponent's shooting was quite precise, and several pink beams flew towards them, and the two camouflage balloons exploded in response, bursting out a violent smoke screen.You Bai was lucky, the opponent's attack did not detonate the mine inside the camouflage balloon, otherwise he might be blown off balance by his props.

According to the thinking of ordinary people, the high probability of using cover props is to escape.But You Bai was different. After mingling with the smoke screen, he reduced the speed of "Riot Jim" to the limit, and then used the thrusters on the soles of his feet to push back.Afterwards, he turned off the propellers all over his body, and let the inertia lead him back to the back of the original boulder.

"The distance between the two sides is very far, and the concentration of Minovsky particles is so high, it is absolutely impossible to achieve long-distance locking. If you guessed correctly, the other party should have found my position by pushing the tail flame. In this case, I will come A feint that confuses her judgment."

You Bai didn't enter the gravel belt, but went around to the other side, moving forward little by little with inertia.

From the shooting angle that I glimpsed before, I can roughly judge where the opponent is.The two rounds of shooting at the camouflage balloon were not in the same position, and it could be seen that the opponent was going deep, so it became feasible to hide behind the cover and move forward slowly.

"Do you think I'm going to touch it from the inside? Then you're dead wrong, Lieutenant April."

Although it was the first actual combat, You Bai felt that he was getting more and more used to manipulating the machine.Different from the previous simulated battle, You Bai, who is in the universe, actually had an illusion: he can perfectly control this machine, even if it is the first time to pilot a mobile suit.

Not only that, You Bai even felt that his soul was spreading out with the universe, and now he gradually found the trick to use the previously uncontrollable perception ability.As long as you concentrate, you can vaguely feel the flow of emotions.

For example, now, You Bai no longer feels malicious, which proves that he has escaped from the enemy's lock.

"The opportunity is here!"

The opponent has already lost his own location, but on the contrary, he can vaguely find the enemy's location, and the positions of both sides have undergone earth-shaking changes.

You Bai will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.He stepped on the accelerator without hesitation, the jets of the propellers on the back of the machine shot out tail flames, and he flew around the edge of the gravel belt to the location of "Malicious".

Soon, he found his target in the gravel belt.

"Sorry, Lieutenant April, this time I won—"

You Bai's soliloquy stopped the moment he saw the opponent's body clearly.

Crouching on the stone was a thick body covered in red paint. The moment he saw this body, You Bai realized that the scale of the matter was far beyond his expectations.

That was not the "Jim Kai" driven by April, but the more famous MS that Jean belonged to.

Chapter 9: Crisis

"The red 'Warrior'... I am super, Char?!"

The moment he saw it, You Bai gasped in fright.

Anyone who knows something about the Gundam series knows that there is an ace pilot named Char Aznable in the Zeon Army.He is the soul of the UC world, with extremely strong driving skills, known as the Red Comet, and it is said that he is the only driver who can wrestle with Amuro.

But soon, You Bai realized again, how could the legendary red comet appear near SIDE1?

"Calm down, calm down... This guy is not Shaar, just an ordinary 'sniper warrior' painted red..." You Bai held the joystick tightly with both hands, comforting himself in his heart.

Taking deep breaths continuously, You Bai forced himself to calm down and began to judge the situation.

Why did I feel strong malice before?

Lieutenant Audrey April is a trustworthy companion. Her previous three shots did not make her feel the chill at all, and she avoided the first two alerts entirely by the body itself.

There is no doubt that the guy who is malicious to him must be this "sniper warrior".

The nature of the training has changed. It was originally just an ordinary sparring session, but now the opponent has been replaced by an enemy with real killing intent.What's more terrible is that the power of all the weapons on his side has been reduced to only 10%.

With this level of power, not to mention shooting down an enemy plane, it's not even a question of whether it can leave bullet marks on the opponent's armor.

The performance of the "Warrior" is by no means comparable to that of the "Zaku" we have seen before. It is still unclear who is better and who is worse.

It is true that there is a time gap between the two airframes, but the "Warrior", as the last mass-produced machine born in the Principality of Zeon, has a powerful performance that rivals Gundam.Some strategists once said that if the "warrior" could be deployed to actual combat troops two months earlier, the outcome of the one-year war would be rewritten.

Not to mention that this is an upgraded version of the "Warrior", with even more outstanding performance.On paper alone, the propulsion and acceleration of the "Sniper Warrior" is even higher than that of the "Riot Jim".

The advantages of "Suppressing Jim" are only in the fire control, action control and enemy tracking system. The advanced system allows the driver to control the airframe more precisely.

What's more, You Bai can't even drive it, so what's the point of talking about performance?Even if the enemy is just an ordinary soldier, his level is not something that a novice like himself who is on the plane for the first time can touch porcelain.The slightest difference in performance is completely insignificant compared to technologies that are vastly different.

If there is any good news, the only consolation is that You Bai holds the upper hand.

He sat in the cockpit, rubbed his fingers on the joystick, and felt troubled.

"If I wait for Lieutenant April and the others to come to rescue, I may not have to fight. But is it really okay to sit and wait? First strike is my only chance of victory, and hiding is a waste of time. Once the other party notices that I am nearby, then I will definitely die ..."

As long as Youbai is still sober-minded, he should know that it is suicide for a novice to go head-to-head with a veteran, and it is the best way to hide himself and wait for rescue.

However, now he can't look at himself with the attitude of a bystander.

Thinking back to yesterday, the moment when he was found by enemy soldiers when he stayed where he was, You Bai's heartbeat almost stopped.Even if he died, he didn't want to experience the feeling of cold hands and feet and dizziness a second time.

Thinking of this, You Bai felt that he couldn't hesitate any longer.

Must be proactive.

"Is there any way to fight equally?"

You Bai raised his hand to call up the fire control interface, and the weapon menu of "Riot Jim" was displayed on the screen.

"Beam rifles and beam sabers are useless, and particle weapons with reduced power can't even pierce armor. What about the live ammunition that can be relied on... Tsk! Only the 60mm Vulcan cannon on the head!"

The Vulcan Cannon is a very subtle weapon.This thing has been used on the battlefield since the beginning of the AD century. As a result, in the UC century, it was also configured on MS. The only difference is that the caliber has more than doubled, and there are no major changes.

To be honest, this thing is not very effective at present. Unless it hits the joints, it is difficult to penetrate the armor of the mobile suit. It is generally used to contain and clear the barrage.Based on You Bai's shooting skills, I am afraid that only by being close to the body can he exert its power.

"I can only think of a way with these things at hand!"

You Bai pulled out the beam saber with his right hand and lit it, and held the shield in his left hand to protect his torso. Then, the propellers were fully pulled up to the maximum speed, and they rammed straight towards the "Warrior".

The distance between the mobile suits on both sides quickly approached, and You Bai could even see the Zeon emblem on the opponent's body.At this distance, no matter how high the concentration of Minovsky particles is, the radar of the "Warrior" is enough to lock on to You Bai.Fortunately, the posture change of "Warrior" is not fast, especially when it is still crawling on the stone.It takes more than a second to rearrange, which is a drawback of a heavy body.

The distance between the two sides is very subtle. It is not practical for a beam rifle, but it is a little too far for close combat.

The "Warrior" originally had a chance to avoid this collision.But the strange thing is that before the two sides were about to contact, the opponent's body was stunned for a moment.It was this momentary gap that became the key, and when the other party reacted, the collision was unavoidable.

boom--

Accompanied by the violent collision of steel and steel, the "Warrior" was lifted by the "Riot Control Jim" controlled by You Bai, and crashed back to the surface of the stone.

"It's a Gundam!!?"

The moment the two aircrafts came into contact, You Bai heard the other party's cockpit through contact communication, and the pilot let out a clear female exclamation.

"What? The slow reaction just now, could it be that he was frightened by Gundam's head?"

You Bai was also taken aback, he didn't expect that this special face would actually create an opportunity for him.But he didn't make low-level mistakes like the opponent. Even a novice understands that there must be no distraction on the battlefield.

Holding the beam saber in his right hand, he stabbed fiercely towards the one-eyed monitor of the "Warrior".

"Since you can't break through the armor, then destroy your main monitor first! I don't believe your eyes can still have such a high defense!"

The judgment is correct, even if the output is reduced, the camera cannot block the direct hit of the beam saber.

Unfortunately, the opposing driver was not knocked unconscious by the violent impact.The female pilot reacted in time and ignited the leg jets, causing the entire body to twist slightly.Coupled with the fact that upstream Bai was not yet proficient in operations, this crucial sword fell through, and he smashed the "Warrior"'s head over to the rock.

"Miss?! But it's not over yet!"

The beam saber continued to slash downwards, and You Bai deliberately chose an angle where the opponent could avoid it.The opponent didn't know that the power of this saber was too low to break through the defense, so he quickly adjusted his posture again to avoid the second attack.

This is what You Bai wanted.He manipulated the left arm of the mobile suit, and continued to hit the "Warrior" monitor with the sharp end of the shield.

The enemy couldn't figure out why You Bai was so obsessed with the monitor, so in desperation he could only forcibly activate the thrusters mounted on the backpack and let his body hit the "Riot Jim" side, so as to make him You Bai's attack position changes.

You Bai's shield hit the "Warrior"'s chest, only knocking out a huge dent in the front chest armor, failing to cause substantial damage to the enemy.
