Chapter 81 Low Orbit Operations (2)
"Kira, this damn journey is finally over. Alas, it's like having a nightmare." Milia was stretched in the large hangar of the Archangel. Although she was still wearing a Earth Army uniform, as long as she filled out the form on her hand, they could say goodbye to the war.
"Well, but I still feel a little reluctant to leave everyone." Kira nodded, but he still missed the feeling of being on the Archangel. Mr. Mu and Miss Lamias are both very good people, but as he thought about it, he suddenly felt a desire to sit on the attack and then enjoy the feeling of rising adrenal hormones during the battle.
"Either kill someone or die in the next war." The cold voice of the man named Rhode Laurenz appeared in Kira's mind.
"Damn it! I'm going to get out of this kind of day!" Kira shook her head and focused her eyes on the form in her hand. As long as she fills out it, she can say goodbye to the war forever.
Milia looked at Kira's distressed look and guessed what the latter was thinking, so she deliberately diverted her attention: "Shi, why do you look unhappy?"
The boy named Sai wore a pair of glasses and looked very handsome. He sighed and said, "I don't know how Frey is? I don't know if he is saved."
He may not have noticed that his head was shiny green, but even if he knew, there was nothing he could do, because even ten plugs were not enough for Rhode to knead with one finger.
"Don't worry, Frey must be fine." Milia comforted her, although this sentence was pale and powerless.
Just as the boys and girls dreamed of escaping from the war, ZAFT had already revealed its fangs.
"Enemy fleet discovered! Number 23, distance 800!" The early warning radar on the ZAFT army flagship Visalius has detected the Earth Army's fleet. Looking through the porthole of the bridge, you can even see a group of small black dots floating on the earth's orbit with the background of the azure planet.
"Well, it's really good to bury the United Army in such a beautiful place." Kruze smiled, but said something unrelated. Until his captain looked at him inexplicably, the masked man stood up and ordered: "The entire army's combat configuration, MS team attack! Generate power to the Chris team and let them attack with us as planned."
"Yes! The maximum combat speed of the entire fleet is open, and the gun door is fully opened! Target: The Eighth Fleet of the Earth United Army!" Captain Yadis gave the order, and dozens of main guns carried by one Nazca class and three Laurasia class in the entire ZAFT fleet had already revealed their ferocious fangs.
Compared with the calmness of the ZAFT army, the Earth Army caused a turbulence. Although it is today taking on a tug-of-war, it is still rare to be attacked in the doorstep of the Earth United Army's home - in the low-Earth orbit! Not to mention that the target of the attack this time was actually the Earth United fleet.
And it is because of this unexpected situation that when the radar detects the opponent's attack, the great officers and soldiers of the Eighth Fleet are still carrying out civilian shelter.
General Halparton floated into the bridge, and the general, dressed in bloated space uniform, did not have the demeanor of a "wise general". Fortunately, Halparton is one of the few practical generals of the Earth Army. After a brief panic, he asked calmly: "How is the situation? What is the scale and configuration of the ZAFT Army?"
"The number of enemy ships is 4, confirmed as one Nasca-class, three Laurasia-class, 20 GINNs, and there are also..." The expression of the tactical CIC suddenly changed drastically, and then said terrified: "The four aircraft in front are coming, confirmed as Holy Shield, Storm, Thunder, and Duel Gundam!"
As soon as this sentence came out, the entire bridge suddenly became noisy. These low-level soldiers were obviously frightened and thought that the GAT project's body could do everything.
"Quiet!!" Halberton roared, his face turned pale. It was not easy for anyone to be attacked by the body he created. The "Smart General" took a deep breath and said, "Market Launched! The entire fleet is tightly equipped with air defense formation, and the entire gun door is opened! No matter what, you have to kill those four bodies for me!!"
"Yes! The entire fleet shrinks its formation, and their respective anti-aircraft artillery forms barrage. Don't call the coordinator's little boys close together!!" The adjutant on the side conveyed the order. At this time, it can be seen that the Eighth Fleet is indeed well-trained. The warships released countless ammunition in front of each other while getting closer. The endless barrage was thrown into space, but the MS distance of ZAFT was still far away. The Earth Army wasted a lot of its own ammunition at the beginning.
"Your Excellency, what should I do with the Archangel?" Perhaps the scene of thousands of cannons being fired gives people a high sense of security. The deputy commander who had been sitting aside and not talking finally remembered the most urgent question.
"Let them stay at the end of the battle line, just leave this battle to our Eighth Fleet." Halberton snorted coldly, obviously he did not take the only four warships of the ZAFT army seriously. You must know that the Eighth Fleet has 21 warships! Even if it is filled in with quantity, the quality advantages of the coordinator should be lost.
"So, do we need any mercenaries to help?" the deputy commander suddenly asked weakly.
Halberton was stunned, but responded indifferently: "No need, how can the honor of the United Army allow those war animals to defile?"
"Zhi General" has used the word "defiled". It seems that this traditional Earth Army officer still puts face first.
Not far from the battlefield, the Fenrier was still watching the battle as innocent as the onlookers. In Rhodes's view, although the countless barrage of the Earth Army was quite gorgeous, he did not even touch a coordinator.
"I have to say that the Earth Army is so rich." Rhode sighed and said helplessly: "Don't they know that shooting at a distance of more than 500 will have no effect on MS?"
"At least they disrupted ZAFT's attack formation, thus winning time for MA to expand." The Knight defended the Earth Army. In his opinion, Halberton's approach was not useless.
"So what can I do if I disrupt it? Do they think that MS must form an effective attack array like MA to attack the fleet? Also, did the Earth Army send an announcement to assist?"
"Not yet, do you need to ask for it?"
Rhode sneered. It seemed that the Earth Army was still full of confidence. He was more and more looking forward to ZAFT's fierce offensive, so he waved his hand and said, "We don't need to touch the cold butt with a hot face. I bet that ZAFT can tear the defense line in less than 2 minutes for the two sides to fight, and then play the turkey game."
As an ace pilot, Rhodes could see at a glance which ZAFT troops were elite troops. Under the fierce firepower of the Earth Army, those pilots could calmly avoid it, and even a single hair was not encountered by the Earth Army.
"If it is true, then we must be prepared." The Knight was still determined to defend himself, but seeing so many clumsy performances of the Earth Army along the way, this rigorous man was no longer confident.
"Okay, the whole ship has entered combat state, and MS has entered the launch position! The Fenrier accelerated by 50%, ready to open fire on the ZAFT army at any time." Rhode himself did not want to intervene in the battle, but seeing that the Earth Army was so unbearable, he had to prepare.
"The bow of the ship is raised by 15 degrees and turned to 80. Brothers, let's prepare to teach the Earth Army a lesson."
The Fenrier began to turn around, and the Earth Army also entered the combat distance with ZAFT, as if to slap Halberton loudly, rushing the front of the holy shield, climbing up, and then shooting out a thick cationic beam from the abdomen. The beam cut off Drake, who was heading in front, in half like cutting tofu. The next moment, the poor destroyer became the first victim.
The Storm Gundam, who followed the Holy Shield, was not at a disadvantage. As a heavy firepower Gundam that specializes in combating warships, Tiago played the role of a killer in the battle against the Eighth Fleet.
Another bright beam of light appeared, and a Nelson-class who rushed over to fill the seat was actually penetrated from the bow to the stern of the ship! Before he could struggle for two seconds, he was decisively killed in seconds!
After the battle began for a few dozen seconds, the eighth Fleet's defensive formation was torn apart, and the Holy Shield and GINN behind the Storm rushed in, and under the guidance of the duel, he hunted one MA after another like a turkey.
"It's beginning. It seems that I'm still an overrated Earth Army, Knight, I'll ask you here." Rhode smiled bitterly, and floated out of the bridge in his combat uniform. He wanted to watch for a while, but he didn't know that ZAFT's combat power was so terrifying. Just as he just came into contact, the Earth Army had at least 2 battleships and more than 20 MAs.
