Chapter 341 The War Begins
The two looked at the content on the monitor, and cold sweat immediately covered their foreheads.
"Damn it! These bastards!"
"No wonder...no wonder..."
Now Bucky Lulu and Mu both know what happened in Alaska, The target of the ZAFT army's attack is not Panama, but Alaska!
Moreover, the Atlantic Federation also received intelligence in advance and prepared a terrible trap for the ZAFT army. As long as the [Cyclops System] that has been deployed underground is successfully activated, everything within a radius of ten kilometers will be turned into coke.
So the people in this base have already run away! The submarine that carried them was not the ship that accepted the transferred personnel, but the ship that took them to escape!
The top management used Alaska as bait to attract the ZAFT troops into the trap, but they could not let them see the clues. They could not even capture the Alaska base too quickly because they needed to give them enough time to withdraw [Cyclops System] 】range, so part of the guard fleet was left as abandoned.
Baki Lulu thought about their transfer orders at the same time. She knew very well that there were countless capable people on the Archangel, and those who could go through such a arduous voyage and reach Alaska safely were all elites, but why? Was it just that she, Mu and Fleur were transferred away from the Archangel?
Because Malu and others are not in line with the interests of the Atlantic Federation’s top leaders!
So she was transferred because her family came from a military family; so Mu was transferred because Mu was the last combat force on the Archangel, and his driving experience was also valuable; so Fleur was transferred because Fu Lei's father is the late former Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs. As long as she is used properly, she can exert unimaginable value.
And Ma Liu and others who were left behind became abandoned!
"The Archangel must be notified! This battle cannot be fought!" Bakki Lulu said.
"Yes, there are friendly forces left behind, we must break through!"
"We are going to find the Archangel now, and we must catch up."
"Wait a minute, the Archangel should be sailing now. How can you board the Archangel?" Mu suddenly thought of this question. If he was alone, he could find a [Swordfish] and fly back, but It's not safe either. There must be chaos outside now, and he can't guarantee his own safety.
Not to mention Bucky Lulu and Fleur. [Swordfish Style] can only seat one person, and Fleur has not received training to fly a fighter jet. How are they going to return to the Archangel? Give them a pair of wings and fly on their own?
"...Let's go to the port and have a look first. There should be a way." Baji Lulu said, there is no other way. Counting the time, the last submarine should have left. They continued If you stay here, you can only wait for death.
“Okay, let’s set off immediately.”
……
On the other side, the Orb fleet also received the news.
“Has the war begun?”
“Yes, the ZAFT army has launched an attack on Joshua.”
“It’s our turn, all members are at level one Combat configuration, we will help you disrupt the ZAFT fleet's formation after the attack. The next step is up to you, Todaka."
"Understood, please rest assured."
"The approach is clear, Daybreak, attack!"
Stepping onto the deck, Daybreak Gundam stretched its wings and soared into the sky with fierce fire. Following him were Angels of Energy, Angels of Cherubia, and Angels of Virtue. Attack on a flying machine.
Their actions were noticed by the ZAFT fleet, and they responded quickly. The fleet's MS launch bay doors were all opened, and the MS troops were dispatched to intercept the four Gundams.
Their reaction speed is fast, and the speed of the Dawn Gundam and other four aircraft is even faster. Many [Deans] were penetrated by the beam as soon as they ejected, and exploded before they spread their wings, causing a sudden Huge commotion.
"The commander has secured an opportunity for us. The 1st MS Group made an urgent attack, targeting the ZAFT fleet. The ship retreated. The 6th and 7th escort fleets spread out horizontally in front of the ship. Itami, Shika Shima and Yamazaki deployed mine formations..."
Todaka is indeed one of Orb's top commanders. After the four Dawn Gundams attacked, he quickly issued accurate orders. He was prudent and mobilized the joint formation in advance and arranged underwater defenses. After all, Orb still had There are no underwater mobile suits, so the biggest threats to them are [Gunn] and [Zono].
"Main gun, ready!"
"Target ZAFT fleet, launch from the whole ship!"
"Bang bang bang bang..."
ZAFT's fleet was still dealing with the surprise attack from the Dawn Gundam and four other aircraft. The Orb fleet's bombardment had already arrived. At the same time, the Dawn Gundam and four other aircraft also broke through the ZAFT army's interception and appeared behind them. They were caught in two sides for a while. In the case of a flanking attack, he had no choice but to interrupt [Dean]'s attack program and dive quickly.
"Haha, they feel uncomfortable now, they are surrounded by us." Lyle joked.
"Stop making trouble. Hugao's arrangements have been completed. Let's go. The battle over there won't wait for anyone."
"Understood."
I thought The four monsters would turn around and continue to slaughter them, but what they didn't expect was that they actually watched their butts leave straight away, not caring about them at all.
“Hoo~ are you saved?” The commander of the ZAFT fleet wiped his cold sweat and felt relieved. Four Gundams including the Dawn Gundam appeared twice in total, each time bringing huge consequences to the ZAFT army. casualties, the battlefield dominance of any one aircraft is frightening, let alone all four aircraft.
But now they were heading towards the Alaska base, ignoring them, and the commander felt lucky to survive the disaster.
But this joy did not last for a few seconds when it was shattered by the report of his subordinates.
"Orb MS troops are dispatched! Number 60!"
"What!?"
60 MS! ? It’s Orb’s new machine! ? Is this taking away all the belongings? Brother, we are just a small fleet, it’s not worth it!
Although he was roaring in his heart, he did not sit still and wait for death. After the Dawn Gundam and other four machines left, no one interfered with the MS troops' attack, especially [Gunn] and [Zono]. The opponent's MS did not have water-specific ones. , then it’s not easy for [Gunn] and [Zono] to deal with the surface fleet?
"What is the status of [Gunn] and [Zono]'s attack?"
"It has been completed."
"Okay! Target the enemy fleet, attack them all. Shen!”
“Yes!”
[Gunn] and [Zono], who received the order, are often seen in the deep sea, and they quickly approached the Orb fleet like fish. Full of confidence, they were already imagining how much credit they could make, but next time One second...
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Huge splashes of water continued to rise on the sea surface, and the signs of [Gunn] and [Zono] quickly disappeared during the detection.
"What happened!?"
"It's a mine array arranged by the enemy!" "How...how could this happen..."
The commander slumped in his chair, his whole body losing the color of life.
......
In the other direction of Orb's territorial waters, Gaelta also received the order from the emperor and immediately ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed.
"What are the movements of the ZAFT army?" Gaelta asked.
"The garrison troops at the Carpentaria base are dispatching urgently with the intention of intercepting us."
"Send a final telegram to tell them that we are only accepting Papua New Guinea's request for humanitarian support. If they continue If there is any change, we will treat it as a declaration of war."
"Yes!"
"The second fleet will go to coordinates S79 to deploy horizontally and deploy a line in the Torres Strait to block the ZAFT army. The first squadron and the second squadron of the group went together. The third fleet divided into two groups, one going to Osprey Reef to threaten Cape Tribulation and Cook, the other to occupy Port Moresby, and the main fleet entered from the Gulf of Papua. "
"Sir, will our landing force be enough?" the adjutant asked worriedly. The MS force is the main force for land suppression. If two-thirds are allocated to support the second fleet, they can do whatever they want. There are not many left. The goal this time is to completely occupy Papua New Guinea. If it cannot be achieved, even if the Second Fleet destroys more ZAFT troops, it will be useless.
"Isn't there the 1st Special MS Brigade?"
"It's a brigade, but the number..."
"Don't worry, they are all aces personally selected by the Commander. , it will be no problem if they cooperate with the landing force.”
“Yes!”
……
Alaska, Joshua Base, the battle between the ZAFT Army and the Earth Army has entered a fever pitch. Although all those left behind are abandoners, under the premise that the command system is completely chaotic, they still show their own style. With only a few battleships and Fighter planes, tanks and ground firepower blocked the ZAFT army's fierce attack.
As the latest battleship, the Archangel showed unparalleled combat effectiveness even without the cover of Mu and Kira.
However, there are too many enemies, and the first one is shot. An excellent record means being besieged by more enemy planes.
"[Heroic Style] No. 1 and No. 2 have no response!"
"The hull damage rate exceeds 30%!"
"Ku~" Ma Liu felt helpless. Just ten minutes ago, she had been trying to get in touch with the headquarters. She had not received any detailed orders from the time she went into battle until now. She kept repeating the expectation of their hard work.
"Yermak and Yaroslav were sunk!"
"Have you contacted the command?"
"Can't contact! No matter who The channels will only automatically reply to the same message! [All units maintain their defense lines and act according to the situation]"
"The chain of command has been cut off, Captain, if this continues..."
"Boom~!"
"Ugh~!!!!"
"Where are the Panamanian reinforcements?"
"Not even a shadow was seen!"
"Missile approaching!"
Ma Liu was exhausted physically and mentally, and was about to lose the ability to think. She also noticed that something was wrong. Why was she disconnected from the headquarters from the beginning of the war? The entire army was in chaos, and they were fighting each other. Until No one has stepped forward to command the fleet now, and when Colonel Sazarand gave them orders before, he was obviously not at the command headquarters, so...
At this time, Ma Liu suddenly thought of what Yang Hui had done to them. Request, can you say...
"This is Natal Baji Lulu, Archangel, please answer when you receive it, Archangel, please answer when you receive it!"
" Eh? Natal! Where did the communication come from?" After hearing Bucky Lulu's voice, Ma Liu came to her senses and asked anxiously.
“It’s a friendly transport plane, it’s nearby!”
"Take it!"
The communication was connected, and it turned out to be Bucky Lulu's face. With her, Mu and Fleur, the three people who were supposed to be transferred were all present.
"Lieutenant Bucky Lulu! Major Flaca! And Fleur, you guys..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this! Take us in quickly! Then stay away from Alaska!" ”
“Wha...be careful!”
Malu originally wanted to ask in detail what happened, but saw a [Jean] approaching the transport plane, and its dark muzzle locked them.
“Damn it!” Mu, who was driving the transport plane, was also desperate because they had no time to dodge.
Just as he closed his eyes and waited for death, a beam of light struck from a distance and penetrated the heavy machine gun in [Jean]'s hand, followed by another beam of light that penetrated its waist and abdomen.
“Boom~!”
“Uh~! That’s...”
"Yang Hui!"
