Chapter 524 Hunting Time!

After leaving the base, the eight Gundam Astrays advanced at high speed towards the front of the defense line. The propulsion backpacks used in space have been dismantled and replaced with special equipment for land combat.

The large nozzles on the legs allow the Gundam Astray to maintain floating maneuvers on the ground. The backpack has no balance wings and nozzles, but a large box, which carries a large amount of supplies and weapons and ammunition.

After the backpack is unfolded, it can also open a new camouflage cloth, which can change color according to the local environment, playing a role of hiding and lurking. At the same time, this camouflage cloth will become hard after being stimulated by electric current, and has good defense.

At the same time, because the supplies in the backpack have a lot of ammunition, the armor of the backpack has been strengthened, and there are two auxiliary mechanical arms with two faces of cards for protection.

The Fort Romfilo machine gave up the heavy two-gun Gatling Vulcan cannon shield attack system and replaced it with a two-handed Gatling Vulcan cannon, with a belt directly connected to the backpack. His body has the greatest demand for live ammunition, so his backpack is full of ammunition.

Russ Ksell is still a Super Mega Cannon. In order to maintain output and safety considerations, the backpack is equipped with a second energy source and an enhanced cooling system. In order to prevent the danger of the gun body overheating and self-destruction together with the body, the Super Mega Cannon is connected to the backpack instead of the body. If the gun body overheats, the Super Mega Cannon and the backpack can be directly discarded.

George Miguel continues to hold a 230MM cannon to provide heavy firepower support, and the backpack is also equipped with a large number of shells.

Travis Kakuland replaced the beam rifle with a 200MM rocket launcher. Although the caliber is much smaller than the rocket launcher used by Zaku II, it is lighter, has more ammunition, and has less recoil. Of course, the beam rifle is not abandoned, but hung on the side of the box; at the same time, his body is the only one of the 9 machines equipped with auxiliary detection equipment, and it is also the eyes and ears of the whole team.

Blog Karl and Fred Reber removed a lot of heavy armor, reducing weight as much as possible to improve the mobility of the machine. They gave up the beam rifle and replaced the arms with two small shields. However, these two shields are attack shield systems. The nozzles at the front and both sides can release beam blades, and can also launch ejection attacks, which are then recovered by steel cables.

Yang Hui, Jung, and Kashima Yu's weapons remain unchanged. In addition to carrying more supplies in their backpacks, they also have a moderate amount of energy magazines.

After advancing for a distance, the team entered a forest and stopped.

"Major, where are we going now?"

"Spread out and hide where we are."

"Are you going to ambush?"

"Yes, this is the only way for the Zeon army to attack."

"Got it."

"Heretics 4 and 5 occupy the commanding heights on the left, Heretics 6 and 7 are 10 kilometers to the right rear, Heretics 2 and 3 are 1 kilometer to the left wing, and Heretics 8 and 9 are 1 kilometer to the right wing."

(I always write people's names for fear of being accused of being too wordy or unprofessional, so I'll take code names here. Yang Hui is naturally No. 1, Jung is No. 2, Kashima Yong is No. 3, Russ Ksell is No. 4, Fort. Romfilo 5, George Miguel 6, Travis Kakuland 7, Blog Carl 8, Fred Leiber 9. )

"Understood!" X8

"Remember, don't move the first batch of enemy planes you see, they must be reconnaissance troops, let them pass, our target is the main force behind, this time, everyone, be alert, if anyone fails again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes... yes!" X8

The nine Gundam Astrays immediately dispersed, went to their respective positions, unfolded the camouflage cloth of the backpack, hid themselves, and then the bodies entered silent mode.

"Rus, do you think the Zeon army will really come?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll be serious this time."

"You weren't serious last time?"

"Uh... I'll be tough!"

"Hehe, remember not to block my beam this time. If my hand shakes, we'll both be finished."

"Tsk, no need to remind me."

...

In silence, everyone was nervous, but also extremely expectant. They had lost face last time, and they were forced to learn from their mistakes and wanted to show off their prestige and fame this time, and make up for their lost face!

Moreover, this time they were facing the main force of Zeon. Although it was dangerous, it was also a huge achievement. If they succeeded, they would be rich and prosperous, but if they failed... I guess they would be dead, so I won't say anything.

Until the next day, when it was dawn, the boring and tense waiting was finally broken.

"Clang~clang~clang~..."

"Here they come!"

There was no need for radar system detection. The vibration of the ground and the sound of the mechanical giant stepping on the ground told them that the Zeon reconnaissance force was coming.

At this time, they were even more nervous. This was the first time they used this equipment. They wondered if they could trick Zeon's reconnaissance troops.

Soon after, three green bald-eyed dragons came into their sight. They moved back and forth, their scarlet eyes roaming around aimlessly, looking for something.

There were also more than a dozen Dopp fighters patrolling in the sky, looking for enemies whose existence was unknown.

"Don't find me... Don't find me..." Everyone was silently expecting, and even held their breath, afraid that they would be discovered by Zeon's reconnaissance troops because of their breathing.

"Hmm? The concentration of Minovsky particles here..." When they reached the center of the encirclement, a Zaku II suddenly stopped, and the driver found something unusual.

"Any questions?"

"Hmm... Minovsky particles have been scattered here, and the concentration is very low, but Minovsky particles should not appear in this location. It is still some distance away from the defense line of the Federation Army."

"Did they float from somewhere else?"

"It's possible."

"With such a low concentration, maybe the Federation Army is deliberately setting up a false formation to deliberately delay our advance."

"Is there such a saying?" X2

"Of course! Think about it, we are carrying out a blitzkrieg, and we need to occupy the Middle East and Odessa at lightning speed to open up the situation on the Earth battlefield, If the Federation uses this method to delay us, won't it give them more time to prepare the defense line? "

"Great!" X2

"Hehe, I'm not bragging. If I hadn't made some mistakes back then, I would be your superior now."

"Puff~Okay! Since there's no problem, let's go. The Federation's defense line is ahead."

"Okay, okay."

When the Zaku II stopped, everyone's heart tightened, but seeing that they only stopped for a while and didn't find anything, they continued to move forward as if nothing had happened and walked out of their encirclement, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Scared me to death! My heart almost jumped out just now!"

"Me too..."

"Quiet, there's still Dop spinning above your head, don't show your true colors at this time."

"Understood."

After waiting for about half an hour, the sun's light had already shone on the earth. From the other side of the horizon, a loud roar came. Looking closely, more and more black spots appeared on the horizon, and then they became bigger and bigger.

"Here they come!"

"As expected of Zeon's main force, this scale..."

"Three [Dabde-class] ships, twelve [Gallup-class] ships, 36 Zaku IIs, a large number of Dopp fighters and Majella tanks, there should be Zaku IIs in the [Gallup-class] that haven't been deployed yet, the worst plan is to fully load 36..."

"Are you scared?" Yang Hui asked.

"A little..." the crowd replied.

The credit of being able to eat up the main force is indeed tempting, but they only have 9 Astray Gundams, not to mention battleships, fighters and tanks, even the number of enemy MS is at least 4 times theirs. This number and scale will scare them as newcomers.

"Then don't move when the war starts, just surrender when I die?" Yang Hui continued to stimulate.

"Who wants to surrender!? And the major! Don't say such unlucky words!"

"This is called reverse FLAG!"

"Huh!? There is such an operation? I learned it, I learned it!"X8

The stimulation and jokes went hand in hand, dispelling a lot of tension and fear, and at the same time strengthening their confidence.

"Enough of the small talk. Take the [Dabude Class] as the standard. After entering the ambush circle, start attacking. No. 4, No. 6, your targets are only fifteen land battleships. Don't worry about the others."

"Understood!" X2

"No. 5, No. 7, protect No. 4 and No. 6, be careful of the harassment of the Dopp fighters."

"Understood!" X2

"No. 2, No. 3, No. 8, No. 9, weave left and right, keep moving and don't stop, disrupt the enemy's formation."

"Understood!" X4

"Then everyone..." After assigning tasks to everyone, the Zaku II in the front had already stepped into the ambush circle with one foot, and the Dopp fighters in the sky were already hovering over their heads. Less than a few minutes were infinitely stretched, and it felt like decades had passed.

Finally, as a standard [Dabude Class] land battleship entered the ambush circle, Yang Hui had a ferocious smile on his face: "...The hunt begins!"

There was no verbal answer, but the most direct action to answer Yang Hui.

A thick pink beam burst out from the steep slope, like a torrent, instantly boosting the Zaku II and Majella tanks along the way. The power did not decrease, and continued to move forward, piercing through two [Gallup-class] land battleships.

The Zeon army was stunned for a moment after being attacked suddenly. They never expected to be ambushed here.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Under the power of the Super Mega Cannon, the trees were burned, the ground was scorched into magma, and the [Gallup-class] battleship with a large hole melted out exploded violently, with flames rising to the sky, debris flying, and thick smoke billowing.

"Enemy attack!"

"How could there be enemies here? Are all reconnaissance troops shit eaters!?"

"Counterattack! Counterattack!"

"Enemy..."

"Boom boom boom..."

After a brief moment of shock, the Zeon army immediately reorganized and organized a counterattack, but before they could restore their formation, they were greeted by "justice" that fell from the sky. 230MM cannon shells fell from the sky, bringing down judgment on Zeon. Three [Gallup-class] battleships were directly hit, with flames and explosions. The Zaku II, which had just opened its hatch and was ready to attack, was swallowed by the flames before it could jump out.

"2 o'clock! Enemy artillery fire!"

"The previous attack was at 8 o'clock!"

"Main guns turn, target..."

"Clang clang clang..."
