A journey through the Gundam world

Page 523

Just when Reed was looking for traces of the enemy, a beam of light suddenly shot down from the distant sky.

He hurriedly maneuvered the machine to evade, and at the same time the Gatling Cannon on his left shoulder fired back at the Sky Overlord who sneaked up on him.

The proximity alarm was remembered at this moment, and Reid was shocked.

"No, I've been fooled!"

Assault Jin En turned around suddenly, but was still a step too slow.

Chapter 133 Evacuation

The pink-white Jin En appeared from behind and cut off half of its propeller wing with a sword.

Then he suddenly squatted down and attacked Jin En's counterattack with a sword, grazing the feathered antenna above the opponent's head.

The blade only took away a small piece of the casing, making the antenna look sharper.

Jin En, who escaped the horizontal slash, stood up again and took the opportunity to activate the propeller.

Amidst the white light and roar of the propulsion wing behind it, it suddenly collided with Assault Jinn.

The aircraft body, which had lost one side of its propeller wing, was knocked directly to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Alex's pilot lifted his sword and stabbed it down into the cockpit of the fallen aircraft.

As an ace pilot, Reed still had two skills. When he saw the tip of the heavy sword stabbing on the screen, he stepped on the pedal fiercely.

The thrusters that attacked Jin En's legs and soles sprayed violently, driving the machine body to slide forward close to the ground.

Under the harsh friction sound and bright sparks, the sword that was originally destined to pierce the cockpit ended up just stabbing between Assault Jin En's legs, without injuring the opponent.

"Twice!"

And taking advantage of Alex's surprised moment, he used the tattered propeller wings on his back to force the body to stand up.

The heavy slashing sword in his hand swept across, and the war blade struck the enemy's heavy slashing sword.

With the advantage of his strength, he cut off the weapon in Alex's hand with one sword.

Immediately afterwards, the sweeping heavy slashing sword was retracted, and like a poisonous snake, it stabbed towards the pink-white Jin En's cockpit!

Alex, who sensed the opponent's murderous intention, decisively threw away the broken sword in his hand.

The machine opened its hands, saw the opportunity, and clasped its hands together.

With his bare hands, he grabbed the heavy slashing sword blade thrust by Assault Jin En!

"what!"

Reed looked at the sword blade tightly grasped by the enemy's hands on the screen with some disbelief.

"Nice skills, what's your name?"

An unfamiliar voice entered the cockpit of Assault Jin En.

"I am Reed Faber of ZAFT's descending force. Are you the Red Devil?"

Reed realized that this was the other party using the communication loop established by both parties at this time to talk to him.

"Red Devil? The nickname you gave me is really unlucky."

It sounds like the other party is not satisfied with this title.

"Then there's nothing you can do! If you have any objections, go to hell and protest against the person who gave you this nickname!"

Reed tried to control the machine to withdraw the Heavy Sword, but the power output of the two machines was actually the same.

It's just that the Assault Jinn has better thrust and steering performance, but in the battle just now, half of the main propulsion wing on the back was destroyed.

As a result, even if Reed wanted to rely on propulsion to defeat his opponent, he had no chance.

As for relying on the rotation of the wrist to regain the weapon, in this case, relying on the flexibility of the wrist is equivalent to giving up the wrestling.

Then before he can withdraw his weapon, he will be suppressed by the opponent's power and take the opportunity to take away the weapon.

Reed glanced at the console and suddenly saw a turn of events.

Alex only saw Assault Jinn in front of him, and the remaining Gatling Cannon on his left shoulder suddenly lifted up and pointed at him.

"Are there any remaining bombs?"

At such a close range, even if the opponent does not have much ammunition, it is still a serious threat to Jin En.

Of course, he would not let go because of this and let the opponent take back the heavy sword and fight with his bare hands. That would be even more detrimental to himself.

The moment the Gatling Cannon's electric motor started to rotate with the sound of the gun barrel, the pink-white Jinn suddenly deployed the thruster behind it, accelerating and crashing into the Assault Jinn.

"What! Is he dying!"

Reed was stunned when he saw the other party crashing directly into the tip of his heavy sword.

However, the next second, I saw the enemy machine in front of me swing its hands to the left.

He brought the blade of the heavy sword to the right side of Assault Jin En, and at this moment, he released his hands that had been holding the blade.

With his freed hands, as the two machines collided together, he pushed the Gatling Cannon upwards with one hand, and a dazzling barrage shot into the sky.

The other hand grabbed the sword-holding hand of Assault Jin En.

The two Jin Ens were stuck together like this, and the Assault Jin En was led backwards.

First it passed through the wreckage of a building, and then, encircled by thick smoke and falling cement blocks, it hit the wreckage of a second building.

Reid only felt as if his back was hit twice by something.

Although the cockpit had shock-absorbing measures, he still felt a tightness in his chest with his back to the location of the collision.

Then there was fluid flowing out of his nostrils, and the smell of rust in his mouth reminded him that he was bleeding internally.

However, he didn't have time to wipe away the blood flowing out. The Gatling Cannon that was pushed up into the sky to hit the bird was completely empty of bullets.

"It's not over yet!"

He roared angrily and acted first before the other party could.

Assault Jin En raised his left hand, clenched it into a fist, and hit the head of the pink-white painted machine body in front of him with a left hook.

Alex's screen suddenly flashed, but he wouldn't just watch the other party beat him on the head.

He let go of the opponent's Gatling Cannon, which had emptied the ammunition, and parried the opponent's second punch with his right arm.

Then he took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and landed an uppercut with his right hand, hitting Assault Jin En's cockpit.

Reed only felt that the cockpit screen in front of him suddenly dented, and then the screen exploded after suffering a sudden heavy blow.

A burst of severe pain made him cry out involuntarily.

This scream made Alex mistakenly believe that the pilot had been beaten to death or disabled by his punch.

And he also felt that the opponent's body, which was still struggling fiercely, instantly lost its power.

This was caused by Reed letting go of the joystick due to pain.

Although he didn't know what happened in the cockpit, Alex still took the heavy sword from Assault Jinn's hand.

After taking a step back, he raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at the mobile suit that had stopped moving.

Without any hesitation, the sword blade in his hand was sent forward.

'I really want to eat the stew at home again...'

A voice sounded in Alex's mind.

He knew that this was the last wish of the fallen pilot.

"In your next life, let's reincarnate in a world without war."

He muttered, controlled the machine and turned around to leave.

As time passed by, ZAFT was also advancing towards its destination bit by bit.

The airport has also come under increasing fire, and logistics and engineering forces have abandoned runway maintenance.

Because the number of mobile fighter planes in the base has become less and less, most of the fixed-wing fighter planes that cannot move have been blown up to the ground.

Most of the vertical take-off and landing fighter jets and helicopters have been lost in fighting and shelling.

"The 12th Armored Brigade reported that they now only have 6 tanks left."

"The 23rd Mech Brigade reported that they have lost all their heavy equipment and are now using rocket launchers to deal with ZAFT's MS."

"The 42nd Artillery Battalion reported that the enemy has approached visual distance, and they are relying on their positions to engage in exchanges of fire with the enemy."

Within the headquarters, there is no good news coming now.

Although Brigadier General Giles, who was in charge of commanding the operation, did not show any expression on his face, his subordinates all knew that the Davao garrison was helpless at this moment.

The reinforcements still have 4 hours to reach Davao Bay, and it will take some time to break through the ZAFT defense line, and in their current situation, they can no longer hold out for another hour.

After a minute, Giles sighed.

He stood up straight and seemed determined.

"Contact the Third Fleet, inform Commander Wang of the current situation of our army, and say that we will persist until the last second."

"Yes!"

Then he straightened his military cap and said to others present.

"I order the staff team to move to the Archangel immediately."

"brigadier!"

He waved off his subordinates who wanted to stay.

"I know what you want to say. But you must take the process and lessons learned from this battle out. We still need these precious things. Remember?"

"Yes……"

After saluting him, the staff team left the underground bunker, and Giles turned to look at the others who remained at their posts.

"Thank you for being willing to stay, then let us give ZAFT a little shock."

With that, he saluted everyone who remained.

"Yes!"

Everyone in the command room also stood up and saluted Giles as the commander of Davao.

On the Archangel, Masuo was surprised when he received Giles' order to allow them to evacuate.

"Commander Giles, reinforcements are arriving soon."

"It's too late. Even if the reinforcements arrive, they will just collect the bodies for us. The Archangel has completed its mission. Now, in the name of the commander of the Davao garrison, I order you to take my staff team and some logistics personnel and leave here. , go to join the Third Fleet."

Hearing this, Masu and Baji Lulu also understood that despite their efforts, the situation was over.

There is no point in staying here anymore, the Archangel is already fighting to the limit.

"I understand, then the Archangel is ordered to leave the current battle line."

"With permission, I wish you good luck."

Giles gave them his blessing and saluted.

After Masu returned the favor, the communication between the two parties ended.

"Recall the MS troops immediately, we are leaving here."

"Yes!"

Mirialia immediately called Alex and others.

"How is the condition of the boarding personnel?"

"The boarding crew will need a few more minutes to complete boarding."

"Get them up to speed."
