Before the sun had fully risen, everyone in the camp had already opened their eyes and started getting busy. Although the newcomers who were accustomed to real war life had not gotten up late, most of them were still very uncomfortable with this environment. Compared with White Base in the universe, they had independent rooms, clean toilets, and full-time chefs to prepare meals for them. But now there is not even a place to wash, and the clean water source is not for them to wash.
It is also the first time for Xiao Ran to enjoy breakfast in such an environment. In every mission, Xiao Ran is served delicious food and drink, just like the novice in Gundam SEED World In this world, except for the time in Archangel where the conditions were luckier, food and drink were basically arranged by someone. This time when I looked at the cans roasting on the fire, I saw a yellow lump inside and blinked my eyes and smiled bitterly.
However, after experiencing so many things and different environments, Xiao Ran's ability to adapt is quite good. In fact, although the can's visual appearance is not very good, the smell is quite good. Earth Federation did not treat these low-level soldiers poorly in this regard.
El-Elf calmly used a clamp to hold it through, and fed it into his mouth with a spoon one by one. After seeing Xiao Ran's expression, he also saw what Xiao Ran meant, and said, "It tastes pretty good."
"You said so, it seems I have to try it." Xiao Ran smiled, took a shelf next to the fire, picked up the can leaning on the fire, stirred it twice and gave himself a mouthful. The taste in the mouth was indeed similar to what he smelled. Xiao Ran also hummed. "It tastes really good, completely different from what it looks like."
El-Elf said calmly, "General military rations look like this for the convenience of storage, but the taste and nutrition are also specially prepared. Even compressed food can basically meet a soldier's normal energy consumption for a day."
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded, finished the food in a few mouthfuls, and took out the communicator and handed it to El-Elf. The latter glanced at Xiao Ran, took the communicator, opened it, and looked at it after seeing the contents. Xiao Ran: "The exact time, location and route are within the Zeon Army position. Do you want us to attack these places? However, there are two coordinates that are far apart. We must divide into teams to attack at the designated time."
El-Elf never takes unprepared actions, so he has already memorized the maps and coordinates of all the nearby areas in his mind and on his tablet. After seeing a few coordinate points, he can easily understand the meaning.
"Well, you plan it." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "The team is divided into four teams. You, Saki Maski, and Naluo will lead one team. It doesn't need too many people to make sense."
Xiao Ran said this and thought of what Char said. Zeon was already setting up actions against him. He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly. "I brought Skull Squadron specifically to target Zeon Army's aces, Zechs and Glan Glan, lead the remaining people to help Earth Force stabilize the front. They are absolutely not allowed to advance without my orders. I also remind others to pay more attention today and retreat immediately if the situation goes wrong."
El-Elf nodded. "Not only did Federation notice us yesterday, but it also caused Zeon Army so much damage yesterday. Actions against us will definitely start today. I will tell them to pay attention. In addition, if the battle does not end today, according to our Astray weapon standards, Jim's weapons and ammunition cannot be used, and our own supplies are almost used up."
"The completion rate is already 40%. When it reaches 60%, Zeon may announce a retreat. It should be done within today. After sending those newcomers back, we will continue to complete the mission to 100%."
Xiao Ran stretched and stood up, walking towards the direction where the MS was parked. Xiao Ran All the participants around this movement also stood up, and soon they stood together in neat lines, Xiao Ran glanced at everyone and nodded slightly. "El-Elf, Saki Maski, Naluo each selects team members, and they will act separately today. El-Elf will tell you the target of the operation."
"Skull Squadron will act with me today and continue to snipe Zeon Army's MS Ace Unit."
"Zechs, Glan Glan, you take the remaining people. Today's task is just to stabilize Federal Army's attack line. Remember, your actions today are only auxiliary, not the main force. Any orders from the Federal Army will be ignored without my permission."
"Yes."
When their names were called, the three El-Elf immediately began to select their own team members. The three El-Elf also each selected four people from the crowd, formed a five-person group, and started to get on their MSs.
Captain Jeffrey, who was not far away, did not follow the young man. Instead, he took a puff of white smoke from his big pipe in his mouth. There was a circle of people sitting around him, including Mi Lai and Frau brought from the universe, Technicians and auxiliary personnel sent by Anaheim Company specifically for this battle, and the driver of Transport Aircraft.
In yesterday's battle, Captain Jeffrey actually piloted the aircraft to fight. However, he had left piloting the aircraft for so many years, and he was already too young to handle it. He simply stopped fighting in person and waited for the mission completion rate to reach 60% to complete the mission. He could complete it without any effort. It would be better to go back to his old job and lead the Transport Aircraft team to fight the autumn wind behind him.
MS Unit was dispatched. It seemed that Xiao Ran and the others would not need Transport Aircraft today. Captain Jeffrey also stood up and faced the direction of the battlefield. He pondered for a while and turned around and said, "We have nothing to do today. There is no need for us logistics teams to continue to stay on the front line. Let's all move back."
Just as Jeffrey was preparing to leave, MSs began to take off and fly towards their respective targets. Only the members of Xiao Ran and Skull Squadron stayed temporarily, waiting for the Transport Aircraft team to leave before driving the MSs into action.
Half an hour later, Alt was sitting on his own body, feeling a little confused. Xiao Ran had not told them what they were going to do until now, nor had he taken off to go directly to any place. He even shut down all communications except for the team. He just sat in the cockpit and let the body move forward automatically, aimlessly not knowing where to go.
Compared with Alt's inexplicable and boring behavior, the others in Skull Squadron were very stable, and they just kept quiet and followed Xiao Ran as the leader. Little Shota Luca was always paying attention to the reconnaissance equipment on the body, and was conducting practical monitoring of the surrounding situation without any relaxation.
"Um...President Sir, are we going to execute something Special Mission?" After waiting for a long time, Art finally couldn't help the curiosity and boredom in his heart and asked.
Alt's voice suddenly sounded in the communication channel that had been silent for a long time, which relieved the depressed atmosphere a little. However, the people in the entire team had different expressions. Michel rolled his eyes helplessly, Little Shota covered his mouth and laughed secretly, Brera looked indifferent and shook his head slightly, and Ozma sighed.
Xiao Ran also laughed when he heard Art's voice, "I can't help it anymore."
"Heh." Art laughed awkwardly.
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Yesterday I learned a piece of news from Mr. Char. Zeon has mobilized elite soldiers to form a special team to deal with us. At this time, El-Elf and their teams should have appeared in Zeon's eyes. However, their attack targets can retreat without wasting too much time, so the team formed just to deal with us will definitely not be able to catch them."
"Although our direction has been towards a remote place without fighting, we have entered the sphere of influence of the Zeon Army a long time ago. We are considered to be at the front of the team. And do you think that there is no fighting in a place like this? Is it possible for Zeon and There are no personnel on Federation's side. We should have been in the Zeon Army's sight a long time ago. Maybe a lot of the Zeon Army's troops have arrived to destroy our team."
"Are we the bait?" Art suddenly understood what Xiao Ran meant. "Does President Sir mean to use us as bait to allow other teams to complete their combat objectives more safely?"
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Although there are also considerations in this regard, the real reason is just to choose a suitable battlefield and destroy all Ace Unit formed by Zeon and directly complete Main Mission Three."
Art nodded, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Ran's body suddenly stopped, and Alter was instantly on guard. The pilot's body also raised its weapons with both hands, but what Xiao Ran said in the next second made Alter unconsciously twitch the corners of his mouth twice.
Xiao Ran glanced at the forward route on the map among the civilians, and drove the machine body to turn in one direction. "We have been moving straight forward for so long. If we continue to move forward, we may fall into the trap prepared by the enemy. We change the direction and continue to move forward, forcing the other party to have an encounter with us."
Xiao Ran's machine took action again, and under Alter's careful warning, he changed the direction and continued forward. Ozma, Michel, Luca and Brera's machines also quickly followed up, leaving only Alter, who was speechless and pulled his lips, at the end.
