Chapter 27 The Battle of El Alamein (3)
The sky was getting darker, and the sound of motors roaring on the battlefield was even more deafening! With the order of General Nitesco, more than 700 chariots blocked by camouflage nets were activated together on the front line of dozens of kilometers, and then they rushed forward with the center as an arrow!
"The fox hunting operation has begun, let's go!" Colonel Kettle's voice sounded in Rod's ears.
"I understand, Silver Wolf Mercenary Group, move forward!!" Rhode did not hesitate at all. With his order, the assault cluster of two MS and 10 tanks drove out from the hidden place, and behind them was the chariot brigade of the moon rabies!
"Report to the command headquarters, the right wing corps began to attack!" Keitel reported to the command headquarters. He kicked the driver in front with his feet. The M-72 heavy tank numbered 501 also started the engine and rushed in front. Behind him were more than 90 tanks and two MSs of the right wing corps.
Soon, the entire Earth Army front began to exchange fire with the main force of the ZAFT Army. Under the night sky, the shells with beautiful trajectories shuttled through the desert like meteors. From time to time, MS and tanks were hit, and then turned into a gorgeous torch in the night sky.
The Earth Army has a numerical advantage, and from time to time, it uses 140MM shells to shoot at GINN, which has no hidden objects in the desert. GINN relies on its flexible mobility to surround from the side and sometimes fly into the air to shoot. However, as soon as the two sides fought, ZAFT was suppressed.
The reason is very simple. The armored torrent that maintains a tight attack formation is almost irresistible. The range and power of the 140MM cannon are much stronger than the cannon in GINN's hand. Gradually, the ZAFT army began to slowly shrink backwards, and when the Earth Army saw the opponent retreat, the advancement was faster.
"The Earth Army began to attack in full swing! We retreated slowly!" The CIC on the ZAFT Army commanded the warship, but the voice was not at all panic.
"Hmph, the damn natural person is finally here." Chief of Staff Ziyi sneered, stood up from his seat and asked, "How is the enemy's offensive?"
"A conical assault structure, with the center protruding forward, the two wings dragged back, and was pressing up against a tight shooting formation. I suggest Captain Balfilut's Baku troops can be put into the battlefield." A staff officer in purple clothes replied.
"Well, it's not time yet." Chief of Staff Ziyi is already in his 40s. Looking at the battlefield situation, you will understand that it is not the moment of deciding the outcome. At least you have to suppress the arrogance of the Earth Army.
"Drop the troops to both wings and order the artillery to shoot me!"
"Yes, the artillery fired a salvo on the central assault cluster of the Earth Army! Coordinate 03987!"
The ZAFT army started to fight from the heavy artillery brought by the Australian continent (affiliated by the Oceania Union). Just like the fierce shelling of the Earth Army a few hours ago, the ZAFT army also used dense artillery volleys to marching the Earth Army's tank troops, and ironically, the gunners were also natural persons.
"Boom boom boom boom!" I saw dense flames lit up from the Earth Army's tank troops. From time to time, a shell tear the entire tank to pieces, but the Earth Army soldiers did not dodge. The one in front was hit and the top of the rear could really be regarded as applying the torrent tactics of the tank to the limit.
However, the momentum of moving forward could not change anything. The MS troops of the ZAFT army went around to the side and quickly approached, colliding with the dominant Earth Army.
I saw a GINN cut a tank into two pieces with a physical sword, and was knocked to the ground by the shells shot from behind. The Earth Army tank that had just fired a cold gun in the distance did not survive for a minute - a Dean flew from the sky and then used the cannon in his hand to penetrate the armor on the top of the tank. No one in the entire tank could survive.
It was like hell on earth. In an instant, shells and missiles were intertwined, and the dying howls and roars were intertwined in this desolate desert...
Right Wing of Earth Army
When Rhodes rushed down from the sand dunes with his mercenary group, the central battlefield was fully revealed in his sight. Even he, who had been traveling on the battlefield for several years, was stunned by the spectacular scene. After all, the battle between hundreds of MSs and tanks is not visible at any time.
In the uncovered desert, GINN's huge body can be seen almost a few miles away, and the ground is full of 20 meters high steel giants.
"Okay, it's time for us to go on the field and protect the right wing of the Earth Army!" Rhodes's mind was not very firm, so he got into the state after a moment. With a command, he stepped on the acceleration board, the huge MS rushed forward with a shock. Behind him was a torrent of steel from hundreds of tanks.
"There are so many, I've never seen so many MSs get together!"
"Then you'll be ruthless!" Rhode smiled and shouted at the communicator.
"Yes! Let's kick ZAFT's butt!" A roar came from the communicator, and the men in the mercenary group never lacked fighting spirit.
The flanks of the ZAFT Army have been much thicker and are shooting from the side to the center of the Earth Army tank cluster. However, the right wing of the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group and more than 100 tanks moved closer to the center, like a sandwich, sandwiched a large number of ZAFT Army's MS inside.
"Boom!" Rod controlled GINN and stopped in an emergency. The 140MM electromagnetic cannon on his shoulder spewed out a flame. A shell broke a MS from the ZAFT army from behind. The moment he opened fire, the tank cluster behind him and the GINN controlled by Ragner also opened fire. The huge MS cluster in front fell by dozens of them in an instant.
"What? The Earth Army came from the side."
"I'm locked, ah..."
The damage caused by this round of attacks can be compared with the previous artillery fire attacks. The ZAFT army was instantly stunned, but the superman reaction and military quality of the coordinator were also reflected. Before Rod and others opened fire for the second time, ZAFT distributed more than 30 MSs and rushed over, and several Deans appeared in the sky.
"Captain, the plural GINN was found at 12 o'clock, and Dean was found at 7 o'clock." Ragner reported in a deep voice while suppressing the shooting.
"Don't worry about Dean, the whole team moved to the side. Captain Morgan..." Seeing ZAFT reacting so quickly, Rhode ordered the mercenary group to move to the side. He didn't want to fight the other party here.
"Haha, I know, we'll be on the assault!! Kettle, come with me!" The 'Rabbits Under the Moon' laughed. He had been waiting for such a ground decisive battle for a long time. As soon as he stepped onto the battlefield, the blood on the body of this professional soldier was burning.
The Independent Chariot Team and the 33rd Chariot Team accelerated and rushed straight to more than 30 GINNs, while the remnants of the Eighth Mechanized Division went to meet Dean who was flying in.
The tank cluster seemed to have returned to its former glory at this moment. The more than 80 tanks were shooting and attacking forward fearlessly. GINN's mobility on the earth was already greatly affected, and it was difficult to move in the soft desert. Apart from being able to take off for a short time, it was not as mobile as a tank.
"Bang bang!" A GINN had just used a shield to block two shells, but the huge inertia made the steel giant more than 20 meters unable to hold back. However, the moment the shield was broken, the shells passed through the cockpit.
"Notify all departments, just like we usually train, two tanks attract attention and one kills!" Morgan Chevrolet looked at the MS in the scope and slowly fell down and ordered.
"Yes!" Seeing the opponent's MS was defeated as soon as they fought. The morale of these Earth Army soldiers increased greatly, and the assault speed was faster. The ZAFT army had no choice but to fly from the soft sand dunes to mid-air, but as soon as they took off, they were smashed into pieces by a shell from afar.
"The third..." Rhode whispered to himself. He had expected that those MSs would take off to fight, so he acted as a sniper in the distance.
But ZAFT is not a puppet standing and being beaten and not fighting back. These steel warriors suddenly accelerated under the control of the pilot, quickly flew over the top of the chariot troops, and then used the cannon in their hands to shoot the mercenary group in the distance.
The shells fell from the air like heavy rain. Rod and Ragner hurriedly hid their bodies behind the shield, but the tanks were in trouble. At least three mercenary chariots were torched. Seeing their subordinates running out of the wreckage like burning torches, and then rolling on the ground with a howling tragic sound, Rhode was also furious.
The yellow-green GINN shield was blocked, and the tank guns on their shoulders kept firing. Under Rhode's super dynamic vision, three GINNs instantly turned into fireworks in the sky and fell to the ground. However, at this time, GINN's propulsion fuel was insufficient. As soon as the remaining GINN fell to the ground, they were swallowed up by the "Rabbits under the Moon" waiting like a shark. After a few minutes, there was only a pile of twisted metal left on the desolate sand.
"Damn it." Rhode cursed inwardly, but he felt sorry for his subordinates being destroyed half. However, he couldn't be distracted by this battlefield. As soon as he stepped on the acceleration board, the entire GINN rushed forward with the cannon that kept spraying flames.
In less than 15 minutes, all the blocking troops that the ZAFT army had joined were destroyed. At this time, their commander also noticed the situation here. The right-wing cluster composed of mercenaries and several chariot troops was scraping off their troops layer by layer like sharp blades.
"Order the Balfilut team to join the battle and clear out all the damn tanks for me!!" The purple-clad officer said gritting his teeth.
"Received." Balfilut responded and rushed towards Rhodes with more than 30 Bakus!
