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, or even capture the Alaska base too quickly, because they needed to give them enough time to withdraw from the scope of the [Cyclops System], so they left A part of the guard fleet was abandoned as abandoned.
Baji 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 her, Mu and Fu? Lei was transferred from the Archangel?
Because Malu and others are not in 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.
"That's right, there are still friendly forces left behind, we must break through!"
"We're going to find the Archangel right now. 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 doesn't dare to 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. Considering the time, the last submarine should have left. They can only stay here and wait. die.
"Okay, let's set off immediately."
…
On the other side, the Orb fleet also received the news.
"Is there a war?"
"Yes, the ZAFT army has launched an attack on Joshua."
"It's our turn. We are all in level one combat configuration. After we attack, we will help you disrupt the ZAFT fleet's formation. From now on, it's up to you, Todaka."
"Understood, Commander, please rest assured."
"The approach is clear, dawn breaks, attack!"
Stepping onto the deck, the Dawn Gundam stretched out its wings and soared into the sky with fierce fire. Following him were Angels of Energy, Angels of Cherubia, and Angels of Virtue, all stepping on the aircraft to attack.
Their actions were noticed by the ZAFT fleet, and they responded quickly. All the fleet's MS launch bay doors were opened, and the MS troops were dispatched to intercept the four Gundams.
Their reaction speed was fast, and the Dawn Gundam and other four aircraft were even faster. Many [Deans] were pierced by the beam as soon as they ejected, and exploded before they could spread their wings, causing a huge commotion.
"The commander has secured an opportunity for us. The 1st MS Group made an emergency attack, targeting the ZAFT fleet. The ship retreated. The 6th and 7th escort fleets spread out horizontally in front of the ship. Itami, Kashima, and Yamazaki were deployed. Mine formation..."
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 the entire fleet!"
"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, the last resort was 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."
"learn."
They thought that 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, paying no attention to them at all.
"Hoo~ are you rescued?" The commander of the ZAFT fleet wiped his cold sweat and felt relieved. The Dawn Gundam and other four Gundams appeared twice in total, each time causing huge casualties to the ZAFT army. Any one of them Their battlefield dominance is frightening, let alone all four machines.
And now they were heading towards the Alaska base, ignoring them, the commander felt relieved for having survived.
But this relief did not last for a few seconds before it was broken by the report from his subordinates.
"Orb MS troops are dispatched! 60 in number!"
"What!?"
60 MS! ? And Orb's new machines! ? Are they going to take out all their belongings? Brother, we are just a small fleet, it's not worth it!
Although he was roaring in his heart, he did not sit and wait for death. After the Dawn Gundam and other four machines left, no one interfered with the MS troops' attack, especially [Gun] and [Zono]. The opponent's MS did not have a dedicated underwater MS, so [Gun] and [Zono] would not be able to deal with the surface fleet easily?
"What about the attack of [Gunn] and [Zono]?"
"Already completed."
"Good! Target the enemy fleet, sink them all!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, [Gunn] and [Zono] were often seen in the deep sea, approaching the Orb fleet like a fish. They were full of confidence and were already imagining how much merit they could make, but the next second...
"Boom boom boom..."
The sea surface continued to stir up huge splashes, and the logos of [Gunn] and [Zono] quickly disappeared in the detection.
"What on earth happened!?"
"It's the minefield set up by the enemy!"
"How...how could this happen..."
The commander slumped in his chair, and the whole person lost the color of life.
...
In the other direction of the Orb territorial waters, Gelta also received the order from the emperor and immediately ordered the fleet to advance at full speed.
"What is the movement of the ZAFT army?" Gelta asked.
"The garrison at Carpentaria Base is urgently dispatched to intercept us."
"Send one last telegram to tell them that we are only accepting Papua New Guinea's request for support and providing humanitarian assistance. If they make any more unusual moves, we will regard it as a declaration of war."
"Yes!"
"The Second Fleet will go to coordinate S79 and deploy horizontally, setting up a front in the Torres Strait to block the ZAFT army. The First Squadron and the Second Squadron of the Second MS Battalion will go together. The Third Fleet will be divided into two groups. One will go to Osprey Reef to threaten Cape Tribulation and Cook, and the other will occupy Port Moresby. The headquarters fleet will enter from the Gulf of Papua."
"Sir, will our landing force be enough?" The adjutant worried. The MS force is the main force for land suppression. If two-thirds of them are separated to support the Second Fleet, they will not have many left. The goal this time is to completely occupy Papua New Guinea. If this cannot be achieved, even if the Second Fleet destroys more ZAFT troops, it will be useless.
"Isn't there the First Special MS Battalion?"
"It's called a battalion, but the number is..."
"Don't worry, they are all the trump cards selected by the commander himself. With them cooperating with the landing troops, there will be no problem."
"Yes!"
...
In Alaska, at Joshua Base, the battle between the ZAFT Army and the Earth Army has entered a white-hot stage. Although those who stayed behind were abandoned, they still played their own style under the premise of a completely chaotic command system. With only a few warships, fighters, tanks and ground-to-air firepower, they blocked the fierce attack of the ZAFT Army.
As the most advanced warship, the Archangel showed unparalleled combat effectiveness even without the cover of Mu and Kira.
However, there were too many enemies, and the first bird to be shot hit, and excellent performance meant being besieged by more enemy aircraft.
"【Heroic】No. 1 and 2 have no response!"
"The damage rate of the ship exceeds 30%!"
"Ku~" Malu felt helpless. Just ten minutes ago, she had been trying to get in touch with the headquarters. She had not received any detailed orders since the battle, and had been repeating the hard work that made them look forward to it.
"Yermak, Yaroslav was sunk!"
"Have you contacted the headquarters?"
"No! No matter which channel, it will only automatically reply with the same message! [All units maintain the defense line and act according to circumstances]."
"The chain of command has been cut off, Captain, if this goes on..."
"Boom~!"
"Wooah~!!!!"
"Where are the reinforcements from Panama?"
"I can't even see a shadow!"
"Missiles approaching!"
Malu was exhausted physically and mentally, and was even about to lose the ability to think. She also realized that something was wrong. Why did she have to wait for the battle? At the beginning, they lost contact with the headquarters. The whole army was in chaos, fighting each other. Until now, no one has stepped forward to command the fleet. Moreover, when Colonel Sazarand gave them orders, he was obviously not at the headquarters, so...
At this time, Malu suddenly thought of Yang Hui's request to them. Could it be that...
"This is Natal Bakilulu, Archangel, please reply if you receive it, Archangel, please reply if you receive it!"
"Eh? Natal! Where did the communication come from!?" Hearing Bakilulu's voice, Malu came back to his senses in an instant and asked anxiously.
"It's a friendly transport plane, nearby!"
"Take it!"
After the communication was connected, it was indeed Bakilulu's face. With her, there were Mu and Frey, and the three people who should have been transferred were all present.
"Lieutenant Bakilulu! Major Flaka! And Frey, you..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this! Hurry up and take us in! Then stay away from Alaska!"
"What... Be careful!"
Malu wanted to ask in detail what happened, but saw a [Jin] approaching the transport plane, locking their guns with its dark muzzle.
"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 came from a distance and pierced through the heavy machine gun in [Jin's] hand, and then another beam of light pierced through its waist and abdomen.
"Boom~!"
"Uh~! That's..."
"Yang Hui!"
