Chapter 546: Assault on NY Base

The sudden exclamation interrupted the joyful atmosphere of the banquet, and everyone looked at Som.

"Ahem." Seeing that he had lost his composure, Som immediately adjusted his state and said to the guests with a smile that everything was under control, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I just got good news. In view of your excellent performance, the mainland will send a big man to visit North America."

"Oh? That's good news."

"The only people that General Som can call big men should be those distinguished adults, right?"

"Please rest assured, General Som, we will definitely do our best to assist Zeon and stabilize the citizens."

"Thank you for your efforts. Zeon will not forget your contributions, Zick Zeon!"

"Zick Zeon!"XN

After fooling the guests, Som found a reason to say goodbye. After leaving the banquet hall, his confident smile disappeared and his face became distorted.

"What is going on? How can nine MS break through the encirclement?!"

"According to the report from the front, the Federation has deployed a new type of warship that can fly in the atmosphere, and its firepower even exceeds that of the Gwakin class."

"Nonsense! How can the Federation have such a warship? Someone must be shirking responsibility and lying about military intelligence!"

"Yes..."

In fact, not only Som didn't believe it, but even the communication control and the officers who received the intelligence didn't believe it. In their minds, even if the Federation suddenly had MS, Zeon's military strength was still superior to that of the Federation. They didn't believe that the Federation had technology that Zeon didn't have.

"Go back to the barracks, I want to see what kind of monsters the Federation's MS are."

"Yes."

Getting on the special car, Som returned to the Zeon base outside NY as quickly as possible, still thinking about how to punish those who lied about military intelligence, and how to eliminate the MS unit that the commander-in-chief was concerned about with his own command, and what rewards he would get.

As a result, as soon as he returned to the headquarters, he saw a scene that made him angry. The entire headquarters was in chaos and noisy, and roars and screams were heard in the communication.

"Report the situation!"

With a sharp shout, the chaos paused for a moment, and then the chaos restored some order. The adjutant on duty wiped the cold sweat and immediately reported: "Commander, the enemy MS team has broken through the second blocking line and is advancing rapidly towards the base. Our army has suffered heavy losses..."

"Are you kidding? Do you know what this means?" Som asked the adjutant with a dark face.

"I'm not kidding, Commander. Just now, the 11th Ground Strike Group sent a request for reinforcement. The communication lasted only 10 seconds before it was interrupted. At the same time, the 12th and 13th Ground Strike Groups also sent a request for reinforcement. The encircled troops reported that due to the bombardment of an unknown warship, the Wilson, Pompey, and Trass were silent, the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Ground Strike Groups were all destroyed, the 32nd, 33rd, and 34th Air Groups were all destroyed, and the rest of the troops suffered heavy losses..."

"How... How is it possible?" Even if it was a fantasy, Som had to believe it at this time. His adjutant had followed him for many years and would never make such a joke that was not funny at all at this time. So he thought that the false military intelligence he reported was true, and the enemy MS team that he regarded as a credit was not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

"What is the current position of the enemy MS and enemy ships?" Som was very alert and prepared to exert his full strength to command the troops.

"The enemy ship turned around and returned after the enemy MS was airborne. Just in case, our air force did not pursue. I have ordered the relatively intact encirclement force to pursue, and ordered the remaining troops of the second blocking line to return to the third blocking line to attack the enemy MS team from the front and back again."

"Well, very good." Som nodded with satisfaction. As expected of the elites he carefully selected, this arrangement also met his thoughts. "Where is the enemy MS? Where is it now?"

"Fifteen minutes ago, it just broke through the second blocking line. Now it should be with the third..."

"Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~..."

Before he finished speaking, The alarm at the base sounded loudly, and the communication control immediately reported: "Commander, the third blocking line has been breached, the 66th and 67th ground strike squadrons are completely wiped out, and the 45th aviation squadron is completely wiped out!"

"Found the Federation MS, distance... 30! The target is moving at high speed at this base!"

"What!?" Som and others were frightened and screamed. The fact that was like a fairy tale destroyed their thinking ability like a thunderstorm that destroyed the world. Fifteen minutes later, they were still at the second blocking line, and there was a five-kilometer gap between the second and third blocking lines, and there was also a five-kilometer distance between the third and the base.

In other words, the Federation's MS team only took fifteen minutes to severely damage the blocking troops while rushing ten kilometers. What speed is this? What kind of killing efficiency is this?

"The garrison troops will attack immediately! We must stop them!" Som roared.

"Yes!"

"Order the other troops to come back immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Give me the optical images, I want to see what kind of monsters these MS are!"

"Understood!"

The nearest camera released the optical images of the first team, and then... everyone was dumbfounded. For a moment, the command center became extremely silent, and a pin drop could be heard.

A few seconds later, Som's face was filled with fear and panic: "Stop them! Stop them! Command center move! Retreat to Fort Scranton! Go!"

...

The heretic team maintained a three-three formation, with three small triangles forming a large triangle. With Yang Hui as the tip of the arrow, they fiercely pierced into the base's defense line. After raising their hands and shooting through several Zaku IIs in front, they directly broke through the flames and explosions and rushed into the defense line. The No. 2 and No. 3 machines following closely behind the No. 1 machine drew their swords and cut the approaching Zaku II in half as they passed by. At the same time, they jumped up and smashed the cockpit of the Dopp fighter with their fists, and then stomped on it when they landed, crushing the Majella chariot.

While in the air, several people in the back shot decisively, and while the No. 2 and No. 3 machines were in the air, they broke through the surrounding sneak attacks of the enemy planes, and when the No. 2 and No. 3 machines landed, they followed and rushed into the base together.

"All aircraft disperse, Jung, Yong, clear the defense forces, Blog find the headquarters, Travis and George find the ammunition depot, Fred, Forte, Ruth destroy the hangar!"

"Understood!" X8

The three-three formation dispersed, No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 turned around and dispersed, No. 2 and No. 3 cleared the remaining enemy forces in the base from the left and right directions, and Yang Hui returned to the direction they came from, and single-handedly blocked the returning defense forces.

No. 4, No. 5, and No. 9 searched for the hangar of the base and destroyed it as soon as possible, destroying them before the enemy aircraft attacked.

No. 6 and No. 7 found the ammunition depot, but did not destroy it as soon as possible. Instead, they protected it on the left and right, because in this mission, they will be active behind enemy lines for a long time, facing countless enemies, and without any support, and the ammunition carried in backpacks is definitely not enough.

Therefore, in this combat mission, except for Travis Kakuland's Unit 7, which still carried detection equipment, everyone gave up special equipment, such as Unit 4's Super Mega Cannon, Unit 5's Dual Heavy Gatling Vulcan Cannon, and even beam rifles and super bazookas. All of them used the same live ammunition weapons as the Zeon Army.

Doing this is to fight to support the war. All supplies are taken from Zeon. If we don't have guns or cannons, the enemy will make them for us!

Unit 8's Blog Carl found the headquarters, but he didn't confirm it. He just machine-gunned and shot the headquarters from the outside to the inside, making it riddled with holes. He didn't stop until it exploded violently.

But... Blog Carl was disappointed, because he looked up and saw several Dopp fighters leaving in the distance. When he just pointed the guns at the sky, the system showed that the enemy planes were out of range.

"Major, the commander ran away. Should we chase him?" Blog Carl immediately asked.

"No pursuit, assist Jung and Yong to clean up the base and join the army, and resupply ammunition immediately after confirming safety."

"Understood."

...

Five minutes later, the huge NY base became a ruin, and the ground was either craters or charred, or debris and corpses. Except for the eight Astray Gundams that were resupplying ammunition, there were no living people in this base. There might be some, but they were shivering in an inconspicuous corner.

"Supply completed."

"Retreat."

"Understood."

At this time, Yang Hui's No. 1 machine had not returned, but they still evacuated outside the base. This was arranged by Yang Hui. He was the bait to delay the pace of the returning defense troops, and he would retreat on his own after the others evacuated, and go to the designated coordinates to meet up.

"Here we are."

The eight people waiting at the designated coordinates saw the arrival of the No. 1 machine, and they breathed a sigh of relief and ended their short rest time. When the No. 1 machine passed by them, they followed silently. The nine Astray Gundams faced the bloody sunset and moved towards the next target.

"Report the situation." Yang Hui asked on the way forward.

"All aircraft have been supplied, enough for us to carry out the same assault again." Jung reported.

"Enough." Yang Hui nodded.

The same assault? That's impossible. The assault on the NY base can't be repeated, because their intelligence in this battle was given to the Zeon army, so they maintained high-intensity operations from the beginning of landing and attacked the NY base without stopping.

According to Yang Hui and Rebil's plan, Zeon will not receive correct intelligence in the subsequent operations, and... now they are in the enemy-occupied area and cannot get in touch with the Federation. In this case, even Rebil can't know their whereabouts, let alone the group of traitors in the Military Commission, so Zeon can't set up an ambush in advance.

Another point is that in the battle to assault the NY base, Som almost withdrew all the defense forces in the rear to surround them. It's too late to start returning to defend now, not to mention that the troops who surrounded them suffered heavy losses. At least more than 10 reorganized battalions were eliminated and crippled by them.

"Travis, search around and find a safe point."

"Understood."
