Gundam, but from the Ground Alliance to the Human Alliance to the out-of-control servitor

But at this time, Zeon's air strike formation finally appeared in the view of the Federation Army's observation post.

After being made such a fuss by Zeon's amphibious infiltration force, no matter how lazy the Federation soldiers were, they knew that Zeon was going to do something big. They reached as far away as the Atlantic coast, and the observation post connected to Gabro Base through underground communication lines first reported Zeon's huge The message of fleet passing;

Immediately afterwards, the air defense position outside the base detected a strike signal from low-Earth orbit. It was the main force of the Zeon space attack force led by Dozuru, escorting the bombing fleet and returning to the sky above the earth.

Dozuru really takes this operation seriously. After all, in a series of confrontations with the Federal Space Force, he can clearly feel that the Federal Space Force, which seems to be huddled in a corner of Luna 2, still maintains considerable combat power. , now I am afraid they are just waiting for the supplementary fleet from Gabro to ensure the chance of victory.

And the mobile suits that the Federation Space Force has recently started to equip, including those that are likely to be unmanned, made him feel a serious threat——

Although he didn't know what his brother, who always seemed confident and sure of victory, had in mind, but according to the situation Dozuru knew, if this continued, Zeon would fall into battleships and mobile suits, and their numbers would be as high as Quadruple quality is at a disadvantage.

"It is estimated that we will enter the bombing position in 1 minute and 30 seconds. There is currently no abnormality in all directions, and no attack fleet of the Federal Space Force has been detected!"

"Very well, continue to be vigilant! We cannot let them disrupt this operation. The special attack on the Gabro Federation Space Force shipyard and launch site must be successful!"

With the main fleet of Luna 2 still not dispatched, the federal attack fleet composed of Salamis-class cruisers and Antietam-class aircraft carriers will naturally not go head-to-head with the main force of the space attack force brought out by Dozlu;

But at this moment, on the other side of the earth, there are still a large number of Zeon troops retreating into space on the Eurasian and African continents. There are still many preys to choose from. Doz must have concentrated his fleet to ensure the success of the bombing of Gabro. Lu, a choice has been made.

But even if no one interferes, what targets can Zeon find?

The answer is no. Judging from satellite reconnaissance images, the surface of the intended target is lush and green, and there are no traces of artificial buildings at all, let alone targets such as military bases.

So, Dozuru once again acted out of passion and committed a devilish act for the sake of his motherland——

"The time has come, let the bombing begin!"

……

"What are the Zeon forces doing? Judging from their orbital position, they haven't even found the center of Gabro Base, right?"

"Commander, do you want to intercept?"

"It's not necessary. The estimated impact range of the ammunition is so wide. The Zeon army is just blasting randomly. If it can't damage the underground base, it will wait for the Zeon Gau class aircraft carrier formation to enter the ambush circle."

Hundreds of thousands of tons of incendiary bombs fell on the Amazon forest, known as the 'Lungs of the Earth'.

Chapter 95: All in all (4)

From the very beginning of the attack plan on Gabro Base, the Zeon Army realized that the lack of information on the layout of the Federation base and the firepower of the defense forces was an insurmountable difficulty;

How many troops does the Union Army have on land?What is the air defense warning range?The Zeon army knows almost nothing——

Small-scale infiltration operations and exploratory fire strikes against Gabro Base have been carried out many times. However, the Federation Army obviously realized that the Principality of Zeon was unclear about its own weakness, so it adopted a cowardly approach. Conservative tactics have made most of the Zeon Army's intelligence gathering activities fruitless;

Even now that the operation had to be carried out, the MS special attack troops aboard more than twenty Gawu-class aircraft carriers still didn't know what kind of enemy they were going to face.

However, for this reason, the staff of the Earth Attack Force who planned this operation have tried their best to save it.

"The orbital bombardment from the Space Attack Force was observed! The hit rate reached over 92%, and the fire point has been ignited!"

"What was the reaction of the Federal Army?"

"Yes! It was not until the last stage of the orbital bombing that we observed the activation of the Federation's anti-missile system. We probably noticed that our army was not using ordinary bombs like in the past, but it was too late and the interception efficiency was very low."

"Um……"

On the Jiawu-class aircraft carrier, which is located in the leading position of the huge air formation and has an additional leader mark added, the commander of this air assault force, Major General Li Mei, looked gloomy after hearing this. He was not happy but worried.

If the Federal Army's anti-aircraft firepower was strong and its reaction speed was fast, then at this last moment, even if he went to court-martial, he still had reason to stop the air assault;

However, the federal army was still unwilling to use its full strength - or it might be that the defense was really empty, but Major General Li Mei firmly believed that it was the former.

"... Then let's carry out the second round of strikes. Let the aircraft carriers drop bombs. Those underwater guys should also cooperate. As long as the fire is big enough, even if all the federal military facilities are underground, it will not be affected at all. .”

Each of the Gawu-class aircraft carriers dispatched in this operation can carry 8 Dopp fighter jets to compete for air supremacy, and 3 mobile suits to carry out airborne assaults. In addition, because there is no need to consider the fuel and materials used in long-term battles, it carries a large number of additional anti-aircraft carriers. incendiary bombs;

This is the trump card that Major General Li Mei fought for in order to have a slight possibility of success in this operation.

Although they knew almost nothing about the positions of the federal troops and the locations of the entrances and exits of the underground base, as long as the fire burned strong enough and the fire area covered a large enough area, they could always be forced out.

The lush vegetation on the ground usually provided cover for the federal army's facilities, but at this time it also became an excellent fuel for fueling the spread of fire;

The black smoke mixed with the pungent smell of chemicals obscured the sky and the sun. Combined with the dispersion of rice particles, it not only interfered with the normal enemy detection of the federal army's air defense and anti-missile system, but also disrupted the ventilation ducts of various parts of the Gabro underground base. The connected air purification system operates at full capacity.

"Incendiary bombs? Zeon guys have a lot of tricks up their sleeves. It's easy to set a fire, but it's hard to put it out..."

"Commander, the observation post in the northeast has discovered the Zeon Army's aircraft carrier formation, numbering more than 15! Missiles are being launched, and a large number of Dopp fighter jets are approaching!"

In Gabro's security headquarters, the fan that usually runs in silent mode was buzzing, and the smell of air freshener filled Lieutenant General Jamieson's nasal cavity. He rubbed it unaccustomedly. Nose, said in a deep voice:

"While the fire has not spread to the entrances and exits, quickly let the fighter jets and attack aircraft take off, and give the Air Defense Command permission to fire. Once the enemy aircraft carrier is discovered, it will be allowed to attack freely. If you let them go, it will really make people underestimate our federation." Army headquarters."

'Permission to fire. '

At this time, there was no need for the staff and correspondents to relay the message again. As soon as Lieutenant General Jamieson finished speaking, the agent of the order had been accurately identified and the signal was transmitted throughout Gabu through underground cables. Various air defense positions around Luo Base;

Enemy fleet flight status tracking data, fire control channel management, target allocation, and attack plans that seemed to have been planned in advance were submitted to the responsible human officers by the Ogas systems, waiting for their final confirmation. .

With Gabro Base as the center and extending tens or even hundreds of kilometers around, there are federal military facilities guarding the headquarters. Now they are fully awakened;

Although the fire caused by the Zeon army affected the air observation in some areas, around the Gabro base that has been operated by the Federation army for a long time, there are radar stations, anti-aircraft missile sites, Mega particle turrets, and new ones added after the war. Air observation posts are scattered everywhere——

Constructed into a dense and orderly spider web, the Zeon Army air assault formation trapped in a corner of it has unconsciously awakened the hunters entrenched in it.

Between the dense forests and beside the hills and ravines, missile launch tubes stood skyward. Half-buried turrets stretched out their camouflage nets and stood up from the ground. The counterattack began immediately.

"Quick, lower the altitude! Search carefully for federal observation posts below!"

"boom!"

"Your Majesty the Major General! The convoy reports that the Federal Air Force fighter formation is approaching!"

"Let them hold on and advance to the target no matter what!"

A thick Mega particle beam flashed through, piercing the left wing of a Gauwu-class aircraft carrier from below. In an instant, the only remaining wing spar that barely connected the wing to the body withstood the impact. Unable to withstand its own gravity, the aircraft carrier broke with the crunching sound of metal twisting;

This huge and bulky fat bird instantly flipped over and fell to the side. From the breach in the fuselage, there seemed to be human-shaped objects thrown out together with the fragments of the fuselage.

Further away, from time to time, the flames of detonated missiles appeared among the strings of thrown baits, but looking out of the portholes, there were more small light spots trailing the tail flames advancing.

Amidst the continuous sirens of approaching enemy missiles, Major General Li Mei gritted his teeth and took in all this;

'As long as I can get there...'

"... Counter-track the location of the federal army's ground air defense positions, counterattack, and let the ship-borne mega particle cannon also fire! When will the Dedai bomber formation arrive?"

"We can't contact you now! But according to the plan, they should join my formation over Gabro in 7 minutes!"

The command room of the Gawu-class aircraft carrier was busy. The operators of the Zeon Army were so nervous that they were stimulated by the sirens and the falling friendly ships. They stared at the screen with wide sour eyes, dealing with the approaching approaching from all directions. crisis.

"Lower the altitude! Rush into the black smoke above the fire field! Let the MS team be ready to jump down at any time."

"Do you still... need to lower the altitude? Your Excellency, Major General, if even our vision is disturbed by the thick smoke, then we really can only fly by feeling!"

The battlefield is already covered with rice particles spread by the Zeon army, and the various avionics systems on the aircraft carrier are no longer reliable. If we fly close to the ground and rush into the fire field at this time, this Gawu-class aircraft carrier will only fly Drivers who have been driving for half a year cannot make any guarantees.

"It's better than being hit by federal air defense positions in mid-air. The risk is worth it, dive!"

In the past six months, the Zeon forces from North and South America have dispatched Gau class aircraft carriers to this area to carry out bombing missions. However, the Federation forces hiding underground probably did not feel that they were a threat, so they were never exposed. Such intensive anti-aircraft firepower today;

Although Major General Li Mei had anticipated the current scene before the action began, now that it had come to this, he could only do his best to move forward toward hell.

Among the dense green leaves below, through the automatic air telescope of the observation post, the agent calmly watched the crazy actions of the Zeon army.

'C3 area 13, 17 outpost personnel have been evacuated, surrounded by fire, and are expected to be destroyed soon; 71 positions of the 4st air defense brigade were counterattacked by the Zeon army, and the combat efficiency dropped to 63%, guiding the 311th Fighter Aviation Regiment to This airspace is blocked. '

'A heavy amphibious mobile suit from the Zeon Army appeared on the Negro River, approaching the water gate of the N area of ​​the base. Ground security forces are on their way to stop it. '

The water gate in 'N area has been destroyed, and internal security forces have formed a defense line. '

On the heavy metal door, four round golden-orange bright spots that spread quickly appeared first, which was a sign that the isolation door had been heated to an almost unbearable high temperature; then there were dazzling flashes and several flashes. The mega particle beam broke through the door and crashed into the federal patrol boat docked at the dock.

Outside the water gate, standing on the other side of the river, is a strange-looking aircraft. Its most conspicuous feature is a tube that hangs directly from the head to the abdomen, like an elephant trunk;

This is the heavy artillery-type mid-range support mobile suit, Juaga (MSM-04G, Xiangba), developed by the Zeon Army in order to invade the Federation headquarters Gabro Base.

The power of the combination of MS's higher-penetration Mega particle weapons and the Zeon army's amphibious MS began to show its power. The quadruple Mega particle cannon mounted on Joaga's chest penetrated mercilessly. The isolation gate of Gabro Base, and then before the smoke dissipated——

Joag then raised its arm that had turned into a heavy rocket launcher, and fired three rockets into the gap in the door; it must have given the Federal Army's ambush force behind the door a drink.

But just as the rocket flew out of the hand, the Zeon pilot on the Nine Brother saw the flash of muzzle flash through the smoke and dust on the other side of the water gate on the other side.

'[Zeon swears]! '

At this distance, it was too late to dodge. Several rounds of armor-piercing shells from the Type 61 tank hit Joag's shell like spikes;

Fortunately, the level of protection of Joag, which weighed nearly 200 tons, withstood the test. The Zeon pilot, who broke out in a cold sweat, touched his head, which was still connected to his neck, and glanced at the status of various parts of the body. feedback:

"Fortunately, only the passive sonar on the head and the left shoulder were damaged... Team Turtle, advance quickly! Break through the federal defense line inside the dock. I will be responsible for the fire support."

The federal army's position seemed to be shrouded in the flames of rocket explosions, but the Zeon pilots on the Nine Brothers completely forgot about the idea of ​​competing for the honor of being the first to rush into the federal base, and ordered The turtle team that invaded from the ground river went to explore the way.

The Zeon pilot did not notice that among the burning trees on the other side of the river, a dull optical lens was still watching every move of the Zeon army's MS;

The shell of the Cyclops allows it to still work for a period of time in the midst of fire. The agent just played an indirect aiming trick. Unfortunately, this is not the method of use in the design, and there are some deviations in the conversion of relative positions. , so that all Type 61 tanks behind the isolation door failed to hit.

However, the agents were already patrolling the battlefield, and the Federal Air Force's Fly Manta guided the strike position. The artillery-type MS that this aircraft was so hesitant to enter Gabro Base could not escape.

The four-machine Turtle Boss probed into the isolation door. There were only two patrol boats left on the dock inside the door that had been completely destroyed, and there were four Federal Army Type 61 tanks on the shore behind;

However, due to the narrow terrain of the channel, the many loading and unloading facilities on the pier that hinder the shooting range, and the dense position of the tanks, it seems that most of them have been destroyed by the heavy rockets launched by Juaga just now.

"There are also federal robot troops, suppress them!"

While Guo Ba fired with his machine gun to ensure that the federal tanks were definitely destroyed, and fired at all locations where people seemed to be hiding, he quickly rushed into the door and dispersed;

However, to the Zeon army's surprise, they saw the Federation's robot infantry retreating deeper into the passage.

"What's going on? The Federals are shrinking their forces?"

"The underground surprise attack by Lieutenant Colonel Charia must have worked, right? Should we break in as soon as possible?"

Behind the dock is a long downward ramp. Judging from the size of the passage, it is probably that the Federation Army can transport large cargo such as rockets and battleship components ashore from here to the interior of the base. MSs can also pass directly through it.

"What should we do, captain, shall we go down?"

"Otherwise we just stand here? Listen to me. No matter what tricks the Federals are playing to lure the enemy deep, or ambushes, etc., keep your eyes open for me, jump down with me, and prepare immediately Attack and respond to attacks, got it?”

"Yes!"

The leader of the Turtle Ba Squadron stopped talking nonsense, switched the ammunition type of the rocket launcher in his hand and fired two smoke grenades into the downward passage, and then jumped down first, while his three subordinates did not hesitate. followed hesitantly;

The moment he felt that the slope under his feet had become flat again, Turtle Ba made evasive movements by swinging left and right in the smoke while blindly firing his machine cannon into the depths of the passage.

'The sound of the bullet is wrong... is it the wall?Another isolation door? '

Captain Turtle's pilot moved forward doubtfully, and when he got out of the smoke, what appeared in front of him was indeed a wall, but it was a shield wall——

A whole squadron of Jim B-types arrived here in advance under the guidance of agents to set up defenses. Knowing that their driving skills were not yet proficient, the federal pilots adopted the most conservative tactics;

That is to form a formation shoulder to shoulder with shields, blocking the entire passage, and then stand still and use beam spray guns to shoot any enemies that appear in front of them.

Chapter 96: All in all (5)

The steel Kunpeng, with a wingspan of more than 150 meters, fell to the ground awkwardly in the billowing black smoke, slid forward, and stopped after knocking down an unknown number of charred tree trunks.

The door behind the belly of the Gawu-class aircraft carrier was open. The two Zakus and a Daemon they carried jumped out in time before they landed, and rushed into the raging fire cast by the Zeon army themselves, as if they were headless. Like flies looking for the planned rally point.

"This is Team K of the Special Air Assault Group. Calling the group headquarters. We have now separated from the mothership. We need target guidance... Heck, who suggested setting the fire? You can't even use laser communication like this!"

The leading new machine, the Demon, activated the air cushion suspension device on its legs. Under the strong power provided by the improved reactor, the air cushion formed by the high-speed jet of gas lifted the Demon from the ground and blew it out. The flames at the feet of the machine;

The other two Zakus also skillfully checked their equipment to avoid damage in the 'hard landing' just now, and remained alert to the surrounding environment——

Looking around, what is reflected on the main monitor of Zaku's head, 17 meters above the ground, is the thick smoke produced by the incomplete burning of trees; the sound of gunfire and explosions heard in the sound collector also seem to come from all directions, which makes people feel... Difficulty in orienting.

"Follow me this way. There is the sound of our Zaku machine gunfire. Join the friendly forces first. If you can't find the entrance to Gabro Base, destroy the federal air defense positions and forts on the surface first. Take action!"

The special attack on Gabro Base this time deployed elite mobile suit pilots from various Zeon theaters, so they remained calm even when they were in such an isolated and helpless state, and made a decisive judgment on the current situation.

But more mobile suits, together with their motherships, disappeared into the federal anti-aircraft firepower network before they had a chance to set foot on the ground.

"The air defense positions deployed in Area C have all been engulfed in flames and have lost contact. The sonar buried on the surface shows that the Zeon Army's mobile suits are gathering in this area."

"It's really ugly. What did the guys from the security headquarters do? Make the scene look like this -"

Vice Admiral of the Space Force, commander of the second fleet composed of newly built warships at the Gabro Base, Tianmu looked at half of the monitor display losing the signal, and most of the rest was full of fiery red, stroking himself The mustache said:

"——Isn't this already giving up the surface position to the Zeon army?"

"General Tiam, due to the large number of incendiary bombs dropped by the Zeon army, it makes no sense to continue fighting on the surface. It is also the decision of the security headquarters to shrink back to the underground tunnels for defense; here to remind you that the main gate of area C may be breached. …”
