Chapter 16 The Tiger's Temptation (1)
Archangel, Hangar.
Li Boyong conveyed the order to load live ammunition to the air overlord to the preparatory squad.
"Now?" Sergeant Madok was a little puzzled. "The debugging of the Air King has not been completed yet, and it is still not enough to dock the equipment of the raid."
Li Boyong: "That's aside first, and now you will give priority to ensuring that the body can attack. Otherwise, even if you can replace it with the equipment for attack, it will make no sense if you attack. Don't forget that this is on the enemy's territory. This is the Major's order, don't complain."
"I understand, the young men have started working, and the two air bullies are replaced with live ammunition at a speed!"
Although he was still a little murmured, Sergeant Madok still started executing the orders with all his heart.
During the preparation class, Li Boyong hid in the simulation cabin again, being as familiar with the operation of the Sky Overlord as possible.
Originally, he went to find Kira again, hoping that he would set the ground setting of the raid in advance, so as not to be bullied by Baku as soon as the raid fell into the desert.
As a result, this guy didn't know whether he was immersed in Frey's gentleness or something, so he actually found an excuse for being unwell to shirk, saying that he would get it done immediately after he recovered, and then hid back to the room.
Li Boyong was helpless about this. The young man had just won the favor of the goddess, so he was a little happy.
He didn't want to have a severity with Kira because of trivial matters, Li Boyong gave up persuading Kira.
It would be better to let him suffer a little at that time, but he has the ability to quickly change the settings of the body in battle.
It's really painful to say. Look at the protagonists of other people's mobile combat animations. They are all students who have never touched guns. After getting on the Gundam or the protagonist, they either flip through the instructions, rewrite the settings themselves, or they can go to the verge of death. Anyway, they just get it on the spot and use it.
It’s different for me to change my own body. I need to train all kinds of training and become familiar with all kinds of operations as soon as possible.
The pilot who played the role of MA temporarily before was able to survive such a battlefield is really considered a great fortune.
But he couldn't guarantee that he would have such luck in the next battle, especially in the next battle.
Although the opponent is no longer Gundam with PS armor, Andrew Barutfield, who is known as the Desert Tiger, and his subordinates are definitely not to be underestimated. He must ensure that the battle situation is beneficial to the Archangel as much as possible and avoid some unexpected situations.
Fortunately, the next person was driving the Air Overlord, which was also considered as his job back, so he felt a little more at ease.
———
That night, the Zaft army's tentative attack arrived as scheduled.
First, the missile was covered, and the Archangel's Vulcan artillery group opened fire and shot down the incoming missiles.
Immediately afterwards, the Zaft army's armed helicopter group used the undulating terrain of the desert to start harassing the Archangel with fire.
"Release my attack!"
Kira, who had just been brought up from the gentle country, was in the raid and asked to go to the battle with unprecedented tough attitude.
When Frey gave him himself, he swore that he must protect Frey.
However, his request for war was interrupted by Li Boyong, "Don't worry, the situation outside is unclear. Let me and the major's air bully go out to see the situation first."
"But..." Kira, who was interrupted, immediately wanted to refute, but Bucky Lulu agreed with Li Boyong's view.
With a very high military literacy, she knew that in the unknown situation, it was not the best way to easily launch a strong attack.
"I agree, I will dispatch two air overlords first." Captain Maru issued an order, agreeing with Li Boyong's point of view.
Soon, the door of the Archangel opened, Li Boyong's air overlord took off from the ejection deck, and Uncle Mu's plane followed closely behind.
"Oh? Will you send out fighter planes to reconnaissance first?"
The desert tiger hiding in the sand dunes to observe secretly complained casually when he saw this, "It seems that the commanders of the Earth Army are not all fools."
Dagusta, the adjutant on the side, asked: "The attack has not yet appeared, what should I do now?"
The experienced tiger made a decision instantly, "There is no way. The helicopter troops retreated first, dispatched a Baku to deal with the fighter plane, and then let Resaibus shell the Archangel, give some pressure to force a strong attack. After the strong attack comes out, the rest of the Baku surrounded and attacked."
Since the attack was not launched immediately, there is no need to be obsessed with ambushing the attack, otherwise the helicopter troops would be completely destroyed by fighter planes.
"Understand!" Adjutant Dagusta immediately conveyed the tiger's order to his subordinates.
Under the order of the tiger, the Zaft army began to react.
The shelling of the main ship 20 kilometers behind forced the Archangel to take off and prepare to attack.
While the armed helicopter group was retreating, a Baku, who was ambushing behind the shadow of the sand dune, began to attack the air overlord. Fortunately, Li Boyong was mentally prepared and easily avoided the shooting of the rail cannon.
After evading the attack, Li Boyong went straight to the area around the Baku's appearance and marked all the ambushed Baku.
"It turned out to be Baku!"
The Archangel naturally received this timely information, and the attack after the attack landed in the center of the Baku ambush circle.
Although the battle situation was not said to be unfavorable to the Zaft army, the arranged ambush failed, which made the tiger a little unhappy. "Tsk, it was discovered, and it was useless to continue ambushing. Let the Baku team launch an attack in advance."
The four Bakus in ambush had to launch an attack in advance, which made the cannon-mounted attacks driven by Kira fall into numerous encirclements as soon as they landed.
The powerful gun-mounted attack relied on the Archangel's firepower protection, which made the invading Baku unable to form an encirclement.
"Fortunately, Lie Li's opinion was adopted."
Captain Maliu on the bridge breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. If he had launched a strong attack directly just now, the current situation of the strong attack would probably be very bad.
CIC's Bucky Lulu said: "But the situation is still not optimistic. It is difficult to achieve results when attacking Baku. Sooner or later, it will be exhausted."
The fact is also as Bucky Lulu said, Kira has been using the Karma Fire Pulse Cannon to attack Baku, but has not achieved any results.
Another attack failed, Kira felt a little regretful, "Damn it, I would have heard that Lieutenant Li had changed the body setting first."
Just when the situation was a little anxious, Li Boyong handed over the Baku to Uncle Mu and drove back in the Air Overlord to support the attack.
"Look for an opportunity to change the settings quickly, I'll force Baku to open."
"learn!"
Kira was overjoyed and quickly found an opportunity to jump back and stay away from Baku.
Li Boyong used firepower to block everything in the air to get close to the attack.
It has to be said that even if the Air Overlord is not equipped with strong attack components, his firepower is far greater than that of ordinary fighter jets.
Four Vulcan cannons, two beam cannons, one large caliber main cannon, and two missile launch chambers, such a firepower configuration is enough to pose a threat to Baku.
With the support of Li Boyong, Kira quickly completed the motion program setting for the raid on the desert terrain.
The tiger, who was secretly observing the battle situation, was keen to discover the changes in the attack at the first time, and a trace of bad premonition surged into his heart.
Chapter completed!
