Chapter 175: Direct attack on the fortress
“Buzz buzz…”
“This is! Powerful photon radiation is detected behind the enemy’s front line!”
In the photon destruction cannon At the last moment of launch, photon radiation was detected by the Downs Fortress.
"Is that what happened? Immediately notify the troops on the ray axis to retreat! The Downs Fortress made an emergency U-turn, heading towards F21, and the [Giant's Shield] system was activated!"
The peculiar limbs of Downs Fortress shimmered, getting brighter and brighter. Lasers were emitted from four points to connect together. Three consecutive layers of solid energy barriers stood in front of Downs Fortress in a pointed cone shape.
At the moment when [Giant Shield] was completed, a torrent of photons visible to the naked eye hit the solid giant shield, and majestic energy spurted out, pushing the Downs Fortress backwards. , but there was no crack in the [Giant's Shield]. Under the protection of the [Giant's Shield] as stable as a mountain, the Downs Fortress suffered almost no damage.
"Report the situation!" Medel Sant asked immediately after surviving a shelling.
“No major damage was found!”
“Huh~” Medel Sant breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, “Have you finally caught up? Gerhart’s prediction was indeed accurate. .”
Immediately, Medel Sant asked about the damage of the friendly troops: "What are the losses of the troops?"
"10% of the friendly troops' signals were lost!"
"Bang~" Hearing this, Although he was mentally prepared from the beginning, Medel Sant couldn't help but hit the podium with his fist.
“Is it still too late?”
Although the retreat order was issued in time, it was still too late for the frontline troops, especially after the [Celestial Being] Brigade got out of the way , the troops attacking the central defense line were like wild beasts emerging from the cage, treating the Diva and Nordram in front as delicious prey, and pounced on them regardless of the consequences.
They rushed too fast and fell into the enemy's circle. The excitement that they thought they had succeeded in driving away the [Celestial Being] brigade made their eyes red, they lost their minds, and finally embarked on the road of destruction.
"Report the situation to Commander Gerhardt. This kind of weapon cannot be used continuously. Let's attack with the whole army now!"
"Yes!" XN
......
The attack of [Photon Ring Array] brought huge casualties to VEGAN, but there was no joy on the part of the federal army.
"The electron beam was spread, and the fortress was not damaged."
"What!?"
"What's going on?" Fleet asked quickly, but the hit he was aiming for did not work. The role it should have made him find it difficult to accept.
"The enemy appears to have deployed some kind of intervention bunker." Luomali Hui reported.
“How could...”
"Our tactics were resolved on the spot..."
The atmosphere on the bridge of the USS Diva was very gloomy. Although 10% of the enemy's troops were eliminated, their target was still the USS Downs Fortress, the USS Downs If the fortress is not destroyed, even 20% or 30% of the enemy troops will be of no avail.
"Recharge immediately!" Fleet ordered immediately.
"Understood!"
"But Commander, the interference bunker of the enemy fortress..." Arugureas asked, as long as the interference bunker always exists, no matter what the [Photon Ring Array] No matter how many times it is fired, it may not have any effect.
"...What's the current situation of the [Celestial Being] Brigade?" Fleet asked.
"At war." Romary replied.
"...There is no other way, Alugureas, the next command will be left to you." After saying that, Flit stood up and left the bridge, heading in the direction of Grakul.
"That's right..." Seeing Fleet leave, Alugureas shrugged. He had long expected that Fleet would attack in person.
The activity of the [Celestial Being] brigade has made many people forget that before becoming the commander-in-chief, Fleet was the ace pilot second only to the [Three Archangels of the Federation].
Although he focused on battlefield command, his heart still yearned to fight on the front lines. This was one of the reasons why he spared no effort to train Arugureas as his successor.
However... the [Celestial Being] brigade is too dazzling. Ordinary small scenes do not require the Commander-in-Chief to appear. Big scenes... such as the [Giant Ring] base defense battle, just when Fleet was about to attack personally. At that time, VEGAN retreated.
"Leave it to me, Commander!" Alugureas said confidently in his heart.
......
"The damn Federation actually hides such a weapon!" Dieter Lance was furious. How many compatriots were drowned in the torrent of photons just now? Too many to count!
"Is that why the deputy commander issued the retreat order? Damn the federal army!" Ofa Fadian said with equal anger.
“If we hadn’t been entangled by [Moon Angel]’s sniper attack, wouldn’t we have also...”
After Dole Frost’s reminder, the two people’s fiery brains cooled down. When he got down, his back was instantly wet with cold sweat. Yes, if [Moon Angel]'s sniper hadn't blocked them outside the ray axis of [Photon Ring Array], they would probably have had a red eye like the other VEGAN troops, and then been overwhelmed by the torrent of photons.
In a sense, Yulin is their savior.
"Tch! I'm really unhappy!"
"But we can't just let it go!"
"Whether it's Sir Gerhard's order or the hatred of our compatriots, we are not allowed to stop. Steps, Offa, Dieter, let’s go!”
“Understood!” Gundam rushed forward, knowing that this was a mantis trying to defeat the enemy, but neither Gerhat's order nor the hatred of his compatriots allowed them to stop because of fear.
...
"Shh~ It's quite spectacular." Graham whistled and exclaimed. It was also the first time for him to see a large strategic weapon in action.
"Are you surprised? Then you will be scared to death in the future?" Yang Hui joked.
Isn’t it? [Photon Ring Array] is really nothing. In many worlds, there are too many similar and more powerful weapons, such as Flashlight, Genesis, and Requiem, not to mention the more buggy Moonlight Cannon, Moonlight Butterfly, Photon torpedoes and other technologies that add black to black.
"Huh? Really? Then I won't be bored anymore." Graham grinned. Since there are more powerful strategic weapons, there must be more powerful opponents. This can't make him feel Being afraid will only make him more passionate.
"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opponents for you to challenge in the future. Now..." Yang Hui said, looking at the enemy tracking system, and three enemy signs came rushing towards him, "...greet the guests first."
< br>"It's the three of them... Yulin, do you mind if I take over your opponent?"
"Please feel free to do so." Yulin replied lightly. She does not reject fighting, but it does not mean that she She likes to fight, and if someone can do it for her so that she can spend more time with Yang Hui, she will naturally not object.
"Then I'll get on it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, fire also erupted from the back of the Flag Gundam, turning into a meteor and rushing towards the three guards.
"Beep, beep, beep..." At this time, Fleet's communication request arrived.
"Is your battle over?" After connecting to the communication, Fleet asked directly.
"Absolutely, the enemy planes in the central passage were all driven to the left and right wings." Yang Hui replied, the attack of [Photon Ring Array] completely woke up the hot-headed VEGAN army, and then the three Gundam continued to hunt down the remaining remaining forces that had survived, and they were completely frightened. They moved towards the ordinary federal troops on both sides, no longer trying to see whether the death's scythe was sharp.
"Graham, he..."
"The enemy's last X-Rounder unit."
"I see, then you follow me and attack the VEGAN mobile fortress to create opportunities for the [Photon Ring Array] to launch again."
"Straight into the fortress?"
"Well, the enemy's actions It's strange that no attacks have been directed at Nordram until now, so..."
"Occupy Nordram without any damage?"
"Yes, if according to the opponent, Based on the analysis of the action patterns and movement trajectories, this is the only answer." Fleet nodded in affirmation.
"I see, they really dare to think about it." Yang Hui said mockingly. Knowing the original plot, he not only knew from the beginning that VEGAN's purpose was to force the Downs Fortress to dock with Nordram, but he also knew that Izel Kanda did not think that this combat plan would be successful from the beginning. His ultimate goal was to take advantage of the destruction and disintegration of the Downs Fortress to allow VEGAN's troops to hide in the debris and sneak into the earth.
But he can't say it now, not because he doesn't want to spoil the plot, but because he has no defensible reason. Can he tell Fleet that he can predict the future?
"Yang Hui, You Lin, we must not let VEGAN's conspiracy succeed, follow me!"
"Understood." X2
Dawn Gundam and Luna Gundam followed closely Advance with the Gundam AGE-1 and go straight to the Downs Fortress. Regardless of knowing the opponent's plan or not, the goal of this battle is very clear, that is to destroy the Downs Fortress and thwart VEGAN's plan. As for the final infiltration force , we can only look for other opportunities to clean up. Anyway, there are still more than 20 years before VEGAN invades the earth on a large scale. Even if they can't find them all, they can still kill most of them.
After passing all the way, Dawn Gundam, Luna Gundam and Gundam AGE-2 arrived in front of the Downs Fortress. They were faced with heavy firepower. No matter how outstanding the skills of the three of them were, they could not do anything against this hedgehog covered with spikes.
"Tsk, tsk, it is indeed a fortress. This air defense firepower network must have at least hundreds of beam cannons, right?" Yang Hui clicked his tongue and sighed.
“Is now the time to lament the enemy?” Fleet’s mouth twitched wildly, when has this been? Still joking... But Fleet quickly gave up the treatment. After all, this was Yang Hui, who rarely showed nervousness or urgency in battle.
"What should we do now? If this continues, it will be too late to destroy the jamming bunker device." Yang Hui asked Fleet. Although there is no problem in destroying all hundreds of naval guns, it will take time, and they do not have enough time now. Slowly destroy the Downs Fortress.
“We destroyed its propulsion system. Before resisting the attack of [Photon Ring Array], the fortress adjusted its direction, so the interference bunker can only work in a specific direction.”
"Understood...I really want to say this, Yulin, you go and protect Fleet. As a guest, I have to respond to the host's warm welcome." Yang Hui said, piloting the Dawn Gundam to face the swarming enemy planes.
