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

"Yes, but I can't comment on the unnecessary information. Admiral Ray Bill will definitely know it as long as he mentions the White Base."

"Hey, I'm still a little out of reach in your career. White Base No., I'll think of a way."

Old Regan fell heavily back on his recliner, stroking his mustache and wondering what he was thinking.

"We are grateful for the information and help your army provided this time, but now the situation is urgent and I have to continue setting off."

Captain Blood, who had received a lot of valuable information, stood up and saluted solemnly, but before he could finish speaking, Center Frederick slapped him on the shoulder;

"Don't leave in a hurry. In this moment, you have asked us so many questions, so you have to answer me one question - after seeing the deployment of these Zeon troops, which direction do you plan to move forward? This means Where the Zeon Army's forces will be directed is very important to us guerrillas."

'This question about future troop movements...' Captain Brad hesitated for a moment;

"All I know at the moment is that it will continue to the west, passing through the mountains and valleys where it is difficult for ground troops to pass and there are blind spots for radar detection, so as to reduce the width of the battlefield where Zeon can deploy its troops as much as possible."

Captain Brad said conservatively that in the eyes of the other party, he was probably just a recruit sent out for investigation, and his knowledge was limited.

"Is that so..."

'If they can mobilize all the Zeons in this area, it might be a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters. But they don't know how strong their battleship is. If they are killed by the Zeons as soon as they meet, it will be It will be bad for us if we are exposed. '

Lieutenant Colonel Frederick weighed it in his mind, let go of his hand, stood still and returned the greeting, and said loudly:

"Then I wish you success in your actions."

"Well, it's a bonus. There may be a battle here soon. If you, Lieutenant Colonel Frederick, have other plans, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

"what?"

Captain Brad didn't explain much, and hurried out of the door with Kai. As soon as he sat down, before he could start the off-road vehicle, he quickly pinched the microphone on the inside of his collar and said:

"Shirogane, tell Amuro immediately and ask him to attack the Zeon military convoy on the road from the side. Please pay attention to the direction and order of the attack and give the illusion that we are heading south."

"Understood, Captain Brad is informing Amuro, do you have any other instructions? The Gunpelli transport plane is on standby and can be launched to pick you up at any time."

"No, don't rush to join forces. I'm not wearing a military uniform now. I still have room to muddle through if I encounter the Zeon army. Plus, I'm with Gundam, so splitting up may actually confuse the Zeon army. , you continue heading northwest to the Grand Canyon."

'Are you sure you can get away with it? '

Considering that the old bartender who still hadn't made it clear which department of the federal government he was a retired employee had seen through just now, Bai Jin was a little skeptical, but since Captain Blade was still so confident, she couldn't care less now. The question came up again and again.

"Okay, do you have a specific combat plan now? After the White Base starts to use rice particle interference to conceal itself, the communication with you may also be interfered. It will be very dangerous if you are not commanding on the ship."

Even so, on the bridge of the White Base, Platinum stood in front and left of acting captain Milai with his hands behind his back, turned slightly to the side and reported:

"Captain Blade will continue to act independently, so we don't have to worry. He will be waiting for opportunities on the outside with the Gundam."

"Ah Captain Brad...Did he say anything else? When will he meet us?"

It's understandable that Miley Hachishu is so anxious. After all, Brad didn't set off alone. He also took away Amuro, who was driving the Gundam, and Kai, who was supposed to be driving Guncannon.

"Captain Brad ordered us to continue heading west into the mountainous area as originally planned, and that's it; Captain Brad will also try his best to get there and join us, right? Miss Millais."

Platinum began to spread rice particles around the ship; unlike in the vacuum of the universe, the diffusion speed of rice particles in the atmosphere was much slower, and accumulations would be formed to a certain extent on the rugged surface or water -

Even now, on the old battlefield when the Zeon Army launched the North American Drop Campaign half a year ago, there are still many places where high concentrations of rice particles scattered at that time remain, so there is no need to worry about the Zeon Army relying on the interfered areas on the radar to determine The location of the White Base.

"That's it. Then please, Miss Platinum, please coordinate with Captain Brad to confirm. Please ask Staff Sergeant Long Jose and Kobayashi Hayato to prepare on the steel tank. White Base, move forward at full speed!"

Milai imitated Captain Brad's momentum and gave orders, but compared to Captain Brad, her words were still a little less unquestionable than those in the army when superiors issue orders to subordinates.

'In this case, you have to enter a high-performance working mode. '

"give it to me."

Platinum bowed slightly and said without enthusiasm; then he raised his hand and pointed to the port side of the battleship, where, far away in the dark wilderness, an explosion of fire suddenly erupted——

"Captain Blade and Amuro are attracting the attention of the Zeon army for us. Our ship will move forward immediately to seek a breakthrough."

……

"I [Earth expletive], those two Space Army guys really brought the battleship over?"

Lieutenant Colonel Frederick watched in shock as several purple beam lines suddenly shot out on the ridge outside the town, igniting them one by one and detonating the first two lead armored vehicles of the Zeon military convoy on the road passing through the town;

Then another series of bullets fired from Vulcan cannons swept across the Zeon army's convoy, and the long queue composed of headlights instantly turned into a burning fire dragon.

"Impossible. Although I am old, I am not blind yet. I have never heard that the Federal Space Force has developed a battleship-level optical stealth system."

Old Reagan was also lying on the fence of the rooftop of his small bar with his butt sticking out, holding his telescope and scanning the distant ridge over and over again——

"Wait, that's it!"

Behind the lens of the telescope, with the help of the muzzle flash of the Vulcan cannon when it fired, Old Regan finally located the dark figure that straightened up its upper body and was half-hidden behind the ridge, and the Vulcan cannon that kept firing. Between the two Keen eyes.

"It's MS! And it's very different from Zaku!"

Lieutenant Colonel Frederick also quickly followed the direction of the old Reagan telescope and looked at the white figure slightly reflected by the flickering muzzle flash;

"That's...our Federation's mobile suit?"

……

"Gundam showed up?"

"Not sure, Lord Kalma. The 137th garrison group responsible for the blockade reported that they were attacked by mobile suits using mega particle cannons on the road north of Payson Town! Requesting reinforcements!"

"Great, I knew they must still be hiding in this area, and the 'Trojan Horse' must be nearby, gathering troops and marching towards Payson Town!"

Kalma Zabi, who had just come out of the live news room and hurried to the newly transferred Gau-class aircraft carrier, waved his fists and said excitedly.

Chapter 36: Non-stop (2)

"Where is the enemy? Is it still staring at us?"

"I have no idea!"

Sergeant Zeon, who was leaning on the drainage channel beside the roadbed and had a prosthetic leg on his right calf, held a gun in one hand and pressed his helmet with the other and roared loudly:

"Flare, who has the flare? Give it to me, I have a grenade launcher!"

"This kind of firepower must be emitted by MS. Is it accidental damage? They were attacking friendly forces?!"

"Are you kidding? How could such a long convoy like ours be an accidental attack? It's a guerrilla force of the Federation Army, right? I heard that the [Side 3 expletive] from the MS team was able to capture the entire Zaku."

"Isn't the Federation air battleship we went on a mission to encircle and suppress also equipped with a mobile suit? It is said that it was a mobile suit developed by the Federation itself!"

The remaining Zeon soldiers jumped off the personnel carriers and spread out to hide on the road. Through the firelight, they tried to find the location of the enemy among the wreckage of the vehicles.

"Shut up! Are there any officers? If not, just listen to my command first! The enemy is ambushing you on the opposite mountain. Don't leave all the cats here. Spread out and advance to the other side of the road!"

But no matter how the lame sergeant shouted, these soldiers of the garrison, who had basically never fought against the federal regular army on the front line, kept their heads down, only raised their guns out of the bunker and shot at the opposite side indiscriminately——

No one dared to jump out of the 'seemingly safe' bunker in front of them.

"[Side 3 swearing], what's the use of a bunker like MS on the opposite side!"

'If it wasn't for the shrapnel that cut my leg, how could I have been assigned to be teammates with these cowards? '

The lame sergeant gritted his teeth, his heart pounded, and he crawled back onto the road with his gun in a crawling posture. There was also an anti-tank rocket launcher from their squadron on the truck. The person in charge didn't know whether he was dead or frightened. Even the weapons were thrown away.

'You still have to look at me...'

The lame sergeant thought in his mind as he hunched his body forward and the damage caused by the suspected Mega particle beam attack was clearly visible. Half of the car body was melted through, and there was a short groove left by the ablation below. asphalt pavement;

'Maybe, I hit the jackpot right after I left the mission. Such a beam weapon has never been seen on our Zeon mobile suits. It must be the Federation battleship that was targeted in the intelligence... …'

"boom!"

The remaining fuel and ammunition in the truck were detonated by the fire. A wave of fire surged through, easily overturning the lame sergeant and engulfing him. When the Zeon soldier hiding behind poked his head out again, he could only see a pool of burned fire. Get charred black and difficult to identify the charcoal.

The remaining Zeon soldiers did not dare to move forward. They just faced the opposite hillside and shot at all targets they considered as 'enemies'.

Suddenly there was loud gunfire and flames. When the surviving Zeon officers completely calmed down the troops and reorganized to cease fire, Amuro had already left in the Gundam for nearly 10 minutes.

……

"Amuro, are you out of the battle now?"

"The Zeon army didn't react at all, Captain Blade!"

"Okay, then head north, and we will catch up with the White Base directly from the wasteland."

In order to avoid the Zeon military convoy that he might encounter, Captain Blade turned the steering wheel and let the off-road vehicle drive directly off the road and towards the depths of the wilderness;

The Gundam also ran with great strides, keeping in front of Captain Brad's car.

'Well, in this way, at least it creates a little extra confusion for the Zeon army. Next...'

Captain Brad pursed his lips slightly and frowned into the word "Chuan". Even so, he clearly understood that based on the huge gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves, it would be difficult for the White Base to have a chance of winning;

Even if Amuro could display the extraordinary performance of the Gundam, the Gundam's own bomb load and propellant limitations would still restrict Amuro alone from being able to cope with the continuous Zeon troops.

"Can we only count on the enemy's mistakes?"

Captain Brad read out in a low voice, which reached Kai's ears in the co-pilot's seat;

"What did you say? Captain Brad, oh, by the way, are we really the troops directly under General Rebel?"

"No, it's nothing, I don't know either."

Captain Blade was so preoccupied with the Zeon troops pouring in from all directions that he couldn't care about Kai's question for a moment.

Although he served as the captain of the White Base, he essentially only received training as a junior officer at the level of second lieutenant. Blade did not have a clear idea of ​​the scale of Zeon's land forces at first;

Captain Blade, who was limited by Char's previous attack pattern of "attack - destroyed by the Gundam - hide to replenish troops - attack again" did not realize:

Kalma Zabi, who had just been repulsed in the afternoon and even her Gau-class aircraft carrier was moderately damaged, within a few hours, she could transfer to another Gau-class in the evening and continue her organization. More Zeon troops attack.

'Now, I hope nothing happened to the White Base while I was away...'

"fire--"

Mi Lai, who was sitting on the bridge, shouted loudly as if to vent the pressure in his heart.

'Well...fire. '

Bai Jin synchronously muttered silently in the background, and several control current outputs instantly tilted the high-energy Mega particles compressed in the main turret in one direction;

The thick beam flew towards the distant horizon. Although the time was short, Platinum still controlled the main turret to slightly raise the barrel while firing, allowing the beam to draw an arc——

When the Mega particle beam swept along the road, there was no road there, only a ravine and a few slightly protruding semi-molten remains, which could vaguely be seen as the remains of the Matera tank.

The ground forces of the Zeon Army were not prepared to deal with a battleship flying in the sky, or in other words, they had not undergone similar cognitive and tactical training at all;

In the eyes of the garrisons in the hinterland of these Zeon-controlled areas, aerial battleships are probably nothing more than larger aircraft. If it weren't for the intelligence that the federal battleships might airdrop mobile suits to the ground, this should have been completely handed over to the air defense forces. processed.

But now, on the Zeon Army's self-propelled anti-aircraft gun with field air defense, the operator looked at the huge hull in the fire control controller, dripping with cold sweat, and had no idea what to do, so he could only lock the battleship button decisively. Pressed the fire button;

Then, the bright light from the missile's tail flame immediately attracted Platinum's attention here. She fine-tuned the anti-aircraft turret at the bottom of the white base and pointed it here -

The medium-caliber close-in defense cannon is not only capable of anti-aircraft defense, but is also good at strafing lightly armored targets on the ground. According to the standards of the Federation Army, even the Magera main battle tanks among the Zeon Army's general ground troops are not Take on heavily armored targets.

"Even Zaku looks a lot bulkier on the ground."

On the White Base, in the dim bridge, Platinum said calmly to Milai, who was sitting nervously on the captain's seat for the first time commanding operations; considering the concealment problem at night, Platinum had already controlled the White Base. The number entered a state of light control.

"This is most likely from the information sent back by Captain Blade. It is one of the mixed armored units used by the Zeon army to wipe out the remnants of our army and guerrillas. Its combat capabilities are relatively high among the Zeon units we may encounter at the moment. High."

However, under the double cover of night and meter particle fog, when the White Base slowly rose from the horizon, the maneuvering Zeon armored force had not even reacted;

Looking at the angular and square white base number under the moonlight, the first sentence that pops up in the minds of most Zeon soldiers is, 'What is this, and why can it fly?' '

And those officers who had seen the white base image taken during the daytime aerial battle when receiving orders before departure were unable to match the scene in front of them with the picture in their mind immediately at night.

"So, the preparation beds mounted on the rear of these heavy-duty trailers are presumed to be mobile suits in long-distance transportation status of the Zeon Army. I will give priority to them, Ms. Millais."

Shirogane gestured ceremonially to Mirai, but she was essentially ready to attack;

Although Mirai Hachishu was already staring wide-eyed at the Zeon troops in the chaos between the exploding fireballs in the distance, she still couldn't immediately find where Shirogane was pointing -

Until Platinum opened a small window alone and partially enlarged the panoramic view in front of the bridge.

"Is it Zaku from the Zeon Army? Then destroy them quickly before they can take action!"

This mixed armored brigade of the Zeon Army received an order from the Chief of General Staff, Major General Albrecht, when it detected the White Base entering the atmosphere in the afternoon, and began to prepare the whole team to set out for rescue, and went through several hours of long-distance driving;

Before entering the war zone according to their intelligence, they were attacked by Platinum's devastating bombardment during the march.

"[Side 3 expletive] Didn't it just say that the enemy launched an attack further south? Why can such a warship fly right in front of our face without any notice in our military's control area?"

The captain of the Zaku team who was assigned to this mixed force complained in confusion, and he and the maintenance staff were busy trying to remove the dust cover on Zaku lying on the trailer hanger.

Although mobile suits with a bipedal structure are not incapable of traveling long distances, in the early stages of the descent operation of the Zeon army, there was an example of Zaku running cross-country for more than ten hours and nearly a thousand kilometers;

But if there is no necessary reason for doing this kind of operation frequently, then the pilot is probably going to be killed by the maintenance personnel of his unit.
