Chapter 358: Attack and Defense of Orb (I)

It's another sunny day, but the bright sunshine and cool breeze don't bring joy to people. The Orb fleet has been deployed on the sea, all the land forces are in place, and the defensive fronts have been deployed.

On the other side, the Atlantic Federation fleet confronted the Orb fleet, all weapon systems activated, locking onto the enemy in front of them.

In the flagship of the rear fleet, Murta Aznar looked at his watch and then at the document in his hand. This was Orb's final reply to them.

"The request you made is really unreasonable and cannot be accepted by this country. The United Arab Emirates will continue to implement a neutral position and will not be afraid of any power. Ah~ He is indeed the representative of Asghar. He really did not disappoint. I am still here What should we do if they really accept our conditions?" After getting the result he wanted and being surrounded by his own people, Murta Aznar found it too troublesome to even act, so he was directly exposed. own ambitions.

"In order to test those gadgets, I really hope they can fight until the last minute. And the famous young master Yang Hui, tsk tsk tsk, I really look forward to what kind of report I can get after slicing him up."

On the other side, in Orb's Ministry of National Defense, the emperor was also paying attention to the time, scanning the combat map back and forth with his eyes, seizing the time to find if there were any missed gaps. This was also the first time that the emperor had commanded a large-scale operation on the spot, and he was under heavy pressure. On her shoulders.

"How much time is left?"

"Five minutes left."

"The weapon system is fully activated, the fleet target is locked on the Atlantic Federation fleet, and when the time is up, fire directly."

"Understood, the weapon system is activated..."

"Each unit, first-level combat configuration..."

Tick ​​tick tick, the emperor's eyes did not leave the countdown until the moment it reached zero.

"Time's up! Strike first and the attack begins!"

"Understood! All fleets, attack begins!"

"It has been confirmed that the enemy ship launched a cruise missile!"

"Is it what I thought? The first line of defense begins to attack! The first and second MS units spread out on the left and right wings to assist with anti-aircraft fire!"

"learn!"

"The Earth Army MS troops are dispatched!"

Hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly. Is this time... too early? She is still very confident in the defense line she has deployed. As long as the naval fleet can block the local fleet and the ground troops are not damaged by fire suppression, the enemy will be confident to fight back no matter how many people land on it.

Once the Earth Army's MS troops land, even if the enemy fleet breaks through the naval fleet's obstruction, it will not be able to carry out fire strikes.

"The CSKA troops retreated 500 meters. The 3rd Squadron of the 1st MS Group and the 1st Squadron of the 2nd MS Group moved closer to the center. The 1st MS Special Group attacked to block the enemy MS troops!"

"learn."

According to the real-time battle situation, the emperor constantly mobilized the defense line. The enemy's [Dagger] troops were the same as the M1 Heretics and did not have the ability to fly in the atmosphere. They all attacked Orb's Izanagi from motherships and transport ships. Hong Kong leaped high.

Under the emperor's command, the tanks and marines that were weak in front of the MS abandoned their immovable base and quickly retreated, leaving a large blank landing site for the enemy MS.

Just when the MS troops of the Earth Army were ecstatic and arrogant, thinking that the Orb Army had been scared away by them, before their feet even landed on the ground, they were penetrated by crossfire from both sides, and fireworks exploded in the air.

Fortunately, some [daggers] survived and crossed the fire network to enter Orb's territory, but... they had no time to rejoice and take revenge.

At the moment when [Dagger]'s feet landed, dozens of M1 Heretics showed their ferocious fangs, and the dark beam guns burst out with deadly brilliance. The green Gundam Heretics strode forward with weird shapes in their hands. The beam rifle fired one after another. When it approached the enemy plane, the heavy ax blade at the bottom of the gun's muzzle flashed with a faint blue light, and the harsh sound waves of high-frequency tremors shook away the smoke and debris.

The Heretic Gundam Green Machine is equipped with a special beam rifle with a high-frequency vibrating ax blade. Yang Hui used the rare metal left behind by Luo to specifically strengthen the skeleton at the joints. Considering Barry Huo's martial arts use, he often uses Techniques such as boxing, elbow strikes, knee tops, and shoulder tops. The armor on the shoulders and knees are equipped with metal spikes. Folding gloves on the forearms can cover both hands when boxing. The gloves do not have spikes, but are small. Beam generator.

"Hey~"

In a flash of cold light, the two [daggers] in front of him were cut in half. The cuts were so smooth that they could be used as mirrors.

After a successful blow, he quickly retreated. In the process of closing the distance, the green machine of the Heretic Gundam raised its left arm, and the armor opened to reveal the ferocious Gatling cannon.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Gatlin spun around, spitting out passionate and violent tongues of fire, and a [Dagger] that had just landed and was about to attack it turned into a hornet's nest.

"Captain!"

As the green color of the Heretic Gundam stood out, the enemy aircraft noticed it one after another, moving their guns laterally and locking them, preparing to kill this machine that looked like an ace at first sight.

But before they could fire, they were defeated by the ignored M1 Heretic. Several [Daggers] that had just landed were also stabbed through by the M1 Heretic holding a beam sword following the green fuselage of the Heretic Gundam.

"First Squadron, prepare for combat, clear the enemy planes that have landed, Second Squadron, intercept the enemy planes in the air, Third Squadron, provide fire cover." Three M1 Astrays guarded the Green Gundam Astray. Facing the endless enemy forces, Barry Ho calmly commanded, "Asagi, Mayura, Juri, follow me closely."

"Understood!" XN

The Green Gundam Astray and the three M1 Astrays combined together, turning into a phantom and shuttling through the hail of bullets, constantly harvesting the lives of the enemies, and saving dangerous companions in their spare time.

"The first batch is over, all aircraft retreat." The first batch of [Daggers] that landed on the beach had been wiped out. Barry Ho made a prompt decision and led his subordinates to withdraw back to the main force, waiting for the second batch of prey to fall into the trap.

This is Huang's arrangement. It is certain that the enemy MS troops will land on Hatsushima. Instead of completely pulling the front line and confronting the enemy head-on, it is better to take the initiative to make a gap, let them swarm in, and set up a pocket formation around the gap, and wait for them to enter the pocket and eat them in one breath!

"Captain Huo called, the first batch of enemy landing troops have been wiped out, please give instructions!"

After receiving the report, Huang made a prompt decision and issued an order: "The third squadron of the first MS battalion, the first squadron of the second MS battalion, and the third squadron of the first MS special battalion maintain the front line and continue to block the front landing troops. Captain Huo led the first squadron to retreat to the second line of defense!"

"This..."

The communicators and staff officers were stunned for a moment and doubted Huang's order. The three squadrons of the special battalion had clear division of labor. The second squadron was good at long-range fire suppression, the third squadron was good at medium-range precision shooting, and the first squadron brought together the elites of close-range combat.

Although the first batch of landing troops had been completely wiped out, the invading enemy forces were pouring in. Why did they retreat the first squadron, which was good at close combat, to the second line of defense instead of the third squadron, which was good at long-range fire suppression?

But the next second, they knew the answer.

"A large aircraft was spotted over Hatsushima, approaching the second line of defense!"

"Sure enough! Let the first squadron hurry up! The second line of defense is fully open, shoot down all the enemies in the sky!"

"Got it... got it!"

Huang was also very grateful for Yang Hui's reminder, otherwise she might have missed the Atlantic Federation's airdrop troops. If she hadn't arranged the second line of defense in advance, once the enemy's airdrop troops successfully landed, whether they went deep into the interior or turned around to surround the first line of defense, Orb would suffer heavy losses.

"The opponent has turned over the first card, and it's still stable."

"The Archangel called and encountered the Earth Army's new MS! Quantity three!"

"Are there any images?"

"Yes!"

Seeing the three unknown Gundams in the image, Huang knew that the enemy had turned over the second card, so she should also turn over one to return the favor.

"Energy, Cherubim, and Devil go out to destroy the enemy's new MS. Tell Archangel to stabilize the defense line. Freedom and Assault will assist the First and Second MS Battalions to stabilize the front defense line!"

"Understood!"

...

After receiving the order, Setsuna, Lyle, and Tieria activated the system of their machines and came to the exit of the hangar.

"Do we need to attack so soon?" Tieria was a little surprised. According to the emperor's battle plan, neither they nor Yang Hui would attack the enemy at the first time, because the emperor did not know whether the Atlantic Federation had hidden cards and how many cards it had hidden, so they had to reserve strength and give the enemy a fatal blow at the most critical moment.

"The other party can't sit still." Lyle was very open-minded and completely trusted the emperor's command.

From the beginning of the war to now, only half an hour has passed. If they need to appear, it must be that the Atlantic Federation has already made a move, turned over a trump card, and increased the pressure on the defense line.

"The emperor's order, the appearance of three new MS is also our goal." Setsuna said calmly.

The three of them knew that the other side had already turned over their cards. Since there were three new MSs, and there were enough for them to attack with one person responsible for one, it meant that the other side had deployed their trump card.

"Encephalium attack, start expelling the target."

"Cherubim attack, start sniping the target."

"Demonium attack, start destroying the target."

...

Three new MSs appeared, and the first target selected was the Archangel. The black bird-like MA flexibly passed through the anti-aircraft firepower network of the [Porcupine Formation] and went straight to the bridge of the Archangel, turning in the air and showing its true posture.

GAT-X370 Grab Gundam, one of the second generation X series, is mainly black, and uses the skeleton of the Aegis Gundam with the ability to transform. The wings and nose on the back are outlined with bright red edges. The large mechanical claws in the MA form are closed behind the arms like spikes. The mouth is a 100mm [Rage] energy cannon, the left hand [Thor's Hammer] spike crushing ball, the right hand is a double-mounted 52mm super high initial velocity shield cannon, and in the MA form, there is also an M417 80mm machine gun on the nose. The mechanical claws can grab the enemy, or use the built-in [Light God] plasma cannon and small beam sword.

Staying in front of the bridge of the Archangel, the left arm is stretched back, and the spikes of [Thor's Hammer] shine with a cold light that stings the skin.
