Beep-beep-beep-
"Archangel Turn the direction ninety degrees!"
"Main engines on, quarter speed."
"In three minutes, we will enter the formation and merge with the Eighth Fleet reinforcements!"
"Strike and Mobius Zero arrived at the designated location, and the combat formation unfolded!"
Accompanied by reports one after another, Archangel quickly followed the instructions of the reinforcement flagship "Montgomery" and joined the fleet combat sequence.
From the perspective of Murrue and Nataru·Bucky Lululu, with such a huge fleet backing them up, ZAFT Army would definitely not dare to act rashly.
The final result must be that the other party takes the initiative to give in, or reaches some verbal agreement and turns around and leaves.
What's more, there are two very important prisoners on his ship.
Obviously, they don't understand Law·Lu·Cruze.
He also doesn't understand how crazy and full of hatred this clone with major genetic defects is in his heart.
Staring at the Earth Alliance fleet in front of him, which was more than ten times his own, a chilling smile appeared on Law Lu Cruze's face, and he gave a straightforward order, "Attack the whole army! Let those self-righteous fools figure out who is the real master of this universe."
"The whole army attacks? What about Miss Lacuss and Sakura?" The captain was obviously stunned.
"Don't worry! They'll be fine. And I don't plan to attack Archangel directly. I just want to kill Eighth Fleet's reinforcements." After saying that, Rau Lu Cruze directly pressed the red button next to the seat.
The next second...
All the mobile suits hovering around the battleship immediately released the safety of their weapons, and began to accelerate like wolves and tigers, and opened fire wildly during the charge.
"Come on!"
"Kill all these Naturals whose hands are stained with the blood of our compatriots!"
"For ZAFT!"
"For the innocent victims of Bloody Valentine!"
"Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
With the powerful firepower and mobility of Ginn, dozens of MAs were destroyed in just ten seconds.
In addition, some bulky battleships with weak defense capabilities also turned into destructive fireworks in the dark space under the gunfire.
There is no doubt that before the new mobile suits are put into actual combat in large quantities, Earth Alliance is basically no different from "waste" in the eyes of ZAFT.
If it hadn't been for the strong manufacturing and logistical supply forces that led to the frantic construction of various strong and difficult-to-break fortresses, it would have been defeated long ago.
In fact, the reason why ZAFT Army has not launched an attack on the earth's major military bases is simply because it is afraid that the fierce battle will cause excessive casualties to itself.
In any case, behind the Earth Alliance stands a planet with more than billions of people.
But behind the ZAFT Army is just a colonial satellite complex with a total population of about 20 million.
The two sides' tolerance for material consumption and casualties were not at the same level from the beginning.
Earth Alliance can lose countless times. As long as the rear area has not been completely occupied, it can make a comeback at any time.
But as long as ZAFT Army loses once, or loses too many troops in an important battle, it will have to switch from the current offensive state to defense.
Once Earth Alliance's fleet reaches his hometown, it means that Coordinators, a group that has just emerged, will face annihilation.
Earth Alliance's senior officials are also very aware of this, so they have no intention of surrender, compromise, or peace talks from beginning to end. Instead, they are trying every possible means to improve weapons and ultimately achieve the goal of reversing the situation.
Watching the MAs being mercilessly destroyed by Ginn, the battleship was cut in half by the huge Anti-ship Sword, and the commanders in the bridge were swallowed up by the flames generated by the explosion before they even had time to leave in the escape capsule, Atlantic Federation Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs George·Alsta felt his hands and feet were cold, and asked loudly with a horrified look on his face, "What on earth is going on? How could this happen! We clearly have an absolute advantage in numbers! ZAFT Army How dare the commander of the fleet!"
"Calm down! Your Excellency! The MS performance of the ZAFT Army is much better than that of our MA, and this time the team is led by Daimyo Dingding's Law Lu Cruze. The four G Project bodies they snatched before are all put into the battle now. With Mirage System, Blitz Gundam has easily cut into the flanks and killed four of our main battleships."
The captain was obviously extremely nervous. Not only were beads of sweat pouring from his forehead and temples, but his eyes were also full of shock and fear.
He finally realized why the fleet sent to conquer P. L. A. N. T was completely wiped out.
The answer is very simple!
Whether it is in terms of weapons and equipment or station tactics, the ideas of the Earth Alliance, the old giant ship Cannon, and the space carrier are outdated.
Taking advantage of its powerful maneuverability, ZAFT Army can completely rely on the advantages established by MS to easily destroy old battleships that are very slow in movement speed and steering.
This is not a problem of backward technology or insufficient power of the weapons themselves, but a problem of the military's fundamental construction thinking going astray.
Right now, the only ones in the entire formation that can compete head-on with their opponents are the last remaining machine body of G Project - Strike Gundam, and the Mobius Zero and Archangel themselves controlled by Naturals's ace pilot Mu.
Although the war had only begun not long ago, the horrific battle damage ratio was enough to scare everyone.
Especially Duel Gundam, Blitz Gundam, Buster Gundam and Aegis Gundam equipped with "phase transfer armor" (i. e. PS Armor) basically crush the main MA of the Earth Alliance in all aspects.
Among them, the mad dog Yzak, who was holding back his anger, was holding a shield and Beam Saber and firing a salvo with the main gun alone. He broke into the fleet directly and looked for the bridge of the battleship to stab.
Every time he succeeded, it would lead to the death of more than a dozen senior generals and hundreds of soldiers.
These people had no time to board the escape cabin before they were burned alive by the flames released by the explosion.
"Damn it! These bastards are so arrogant!"
Teresa, who was fighting with Aegis Gundam and Storm Gundam, couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Maybe it's because they suffered a big loss last time. This time, Athrun and Diego have learned a lot. They won't easily approach Strike, who always likes to equip melee weapons. Instead, they will rely on their own powerful long-range firepower to contain them.
Their goal is very clear, to restrict the Strike with the best performance to the surroundings of Archangel, and let the Ginn driven by their companions destroy the enemy's reinforcements.
I have to say that Law·Lu·Cruze's tactics were quite successful.
Less than fifteen minutes after the battle began, more than half of Eighth Fleet's reinforcements were damaged.
To be precise, there are only "death" and no "injury". All the guys listed as injured or missing are already dead and turned into corpses and garbage floating in space.
These corpses and garbage were mixed with the remains of Junius 7, expanding the originally creepy cosmic cemetery.
"Human beings are always trustworthy when it comes to improving the efficiency of cannibalism." Allen muttered to himself as he looked at the tragic battlefield outside.
Because just now, he saw a Ginn throwing an oval object painted red into the bridge of a battleship.
As a result, just a few seconds later, the bomb suddenly released a terrifying and highly corrosive liquid.
In less than ten seconds, it swallowed up all the command personnel in the entire bridge, including the captain.
These unlucky guys didn't even have time to scream, as their skin, blood vessels, and internal organs were quickly dissolved, and in the end not even a single bone was left.
You know without asking that this is definitely a biochemical weapon invented by the ZAFT Army.
Due to the space age, almost all soldiers who enter space operations will be equipped with space suits, so ordinary poisonous gases, bacteria, and viruses can no longer play a big role.
But this highly corrosive liquid is different. It can easily dissolve the special composite materials used in space suits.
For those who can invent this groundbreaking chemical weapon during war, it is estimated that 80% of their relatives or friends will be victims of Bloody Valentine.
Just as Allen was watching with great interest ZAFT Army's merciless massacre of Eighth Fleet's reinforcements, Murrue 0 the captain of Archangel finally couldn't sit still, and immediately asked loudly through the communication system: "Allen! Is your machine really unable to attack? If this continues, our reinforcements will be wiped out before long."
"Sorry, it really can't be done. The neural network elements of my machine are so damaged that it's difficult to even move until I find the right materials." Allen gave a straightforward negative answer.
It's not that he doesn't want to help, it's just that he really can't do anything.
Unless you break the rules and use some supernatural force, there's no chance.
What's more, Sakura is still on Archangel.
No matter what kind of energy Allen mobilizes, it will immediately arouse the former's vigilance. It would be too embarrassing to be exposed in person.
Bang!
Murrue raised his fist and slammed it on the armrest of the chair, and asked in a tone full of reluctance, "Then we can only watch ZAFT Army kill all the reinforcements who came all the way in front of us?"
"No! Of course not! Don't we still have Archangel? Don't forget, this battleship is a war fortress that can withstand four enemy ships and twenty mobile suits at the same time." Allen reminded meaningfully.
"Yes! I almost forgot! You are also one of the core designers of this battleship! Tell me, how can I maximize its full potential?" Murrue stood up from the chair excitedly.
"Would you mind giving me the captain's seat for a few minutes?"
Allen said as he quickly walked through the corridor and entered the command room inside the bridge.
As soon as he appeared, Murrue immediately pointed to the high-tech chair belonging to the captain and said, "Please! From now on until the end of the battle, you will be the captain of Archangel."
"Awesome!"
Allen didn't mean to be polite at all. He sat on it directly, opened the console with extremely skillful operation, and quickly browsed the weapons currently in firing state.
After about ten seconds, he immediately ordered without raising his head, "The large missile launch tube at the stern of the ship, fill the Corlnth M114 Clint missile from the 1st to the 6th, and fill the Sledge missile from the 7th to the 12th. Hammer missiles. The multi-purpose launch tubes are all loaded with Anti-Beam Flare. After three minutes, the target is the port side of the ship. In addition, put Plasma Cannon on standby!
"Understood!"
The soldier in charge of the fire control system immediately conveyed these orders to the soldiers on standby.
Although Archangel is a fairly advanced battleship, its filling system is not fully automatic, but semi-automatic.
There are soldiers on standby near each launch tube, responsible for operating machinery to send the corresponding type of missile into the launch tube.
Three minutes fly by!
When all the loading work was completed, the gunner immediately launched six large ship-to-ship missiles in order.
Since the launch target was quite close, many Ginn pilots who were hunting unscrupulously had no time to react and were caught in the violent explosion.
Although most of their bodies were not seriously damaged, their sensitive detectors were temporarily rendered useless by the shock.
This short-term "blindness" directly led to the second wave of ship-to-air missiles hitting the target with almost one Horde.
Six Ginn were beaten on the spot, missing arms and legs. One of the unlucky ones had his cockpit exploded, and even his intact body could not be found.
"No! We need to cover the bombardment!"
A damaged Ginn pilot seemed to sense something was wrong and immediately wanted to pull his nearby companions to evacuate the dangerous area.
At the same time, the ZAFT battleship that received the call for help also began shelling, hoping to force Archangel to give up the pursuit of these damaged aircraft.
Unfortunately, Allen had anticipated such a move.
Before he could issue a new order, Anti-Beam Flare poured out of the multi-function launch tube, instantly creating a large protective layer directly in front of Archangel that weakened the beam weapon.
After ZAFT battleship's high-energy beam weapon passed through this area, its destructive power has dropped to less than one-fifth of its original value.
Coupled with Archangel's own PS Armor, even if it is hit, it will just scratch an itch.
On the contrary, the damaged Ginn and the shelled ZAFT warships have been exposed to the irradiation of artillery radar.
"Plasma Cannon! Launch!"
Allen pursed his lips and delivered the final fatal blow.
I saw two long legs extending out in front of Archangel, suddenly shooting out a dazzling red light.
Everything on this route, whether it was space debris, the damaged Ginn that wanted to retreat for repairs, or the ZAFT battleship that was hit by shelling, all exploded in an instant and turned into dust in the dark universe.
The terrifying penetrating power of Plasma Cannon is simply not something that ordinary warships can withstand.
Not to mention battleships, even colonial satellites will instantly collapse and disintegrate if they receive a single hit.
Seeing that under the command of Allen, the one-sided battle situation turned around in just a few minutes, everyone in the Archangel command room opened their mouths in surprise.
They couldn't believe it at all, the same battleships and the same weapons.
Why did he immediately show a completely different combat effectiveness after changing the command?
