Chapter 600 Surrounded
Time passed slowly, and the people in the team became calmer as they advanced, because they all knew that the enemy might be right in front of them. After advancing in the enemy-occupied area for so long, even if the direction of advance was changed several times midway, it would be impossible for the Zeon Army to make too many arrangements, but this approach would also likely arouse the enemy's anger.
Luca was sitting in the cockpit. He suddenly heard the beeping sound of Didi, which immediately made him focus on the screen. The specially-made machine body also strengthened its role in detection according to Luca's operating direction. When a picture was zoomed in again and again, traces of tires and tank tracks heading in one direction appeared on the sparse forest road, which immediately made Luca serious.
"Sir, we found some movement traces of tanks and vehicles on the left front of us. It seems that they were left not long ago. The direction should not be heading to the front line, but should be an evacuated Zeon Army. No enemies are found around it yet."
"Got it." Xiao Ran nodded, put his hands on the operating lever again, switched the automatic forward to manual operation mode, and said, "Be careful, everyone, maybe the enemy is not far away."
The six aircraft carefully walked to the side of the tank track traces, and started to move forward in the direction of the traces. Although it was necessary to have troops stationed in this place where there was no battle, if the troops were mobilized, they should be forward rather than backward, so Luka's words also explained another meaning.
That is, these mobile suits have fallen into the sight of the Zeon Army, and their action route has been known by the other party, so they will evacuate Zeon Army in front of the action route to prevent this mechanical unit from being attacked by them and causing in vain losses.
In this case, there must have been Zeon Army investigators nearby, hanging on them from a distance. When the battle situation was already extremely tense, it would be a risk to dispatch elite personnel to deal with them, so Zeon would definitely not let time continue to be wasted.
"Didi!"
At the same time, rapid sirens sounded in the cockpits of the six MSs. The six MSs also raised their heads and looked at the sky in the distance. Dozens of missiles in the sky were drawing an arc with long tails and flying towards the direction of the six MSs. These missiles were also flying at extremely fast speeds, but in the blink of an eye they felt close to them.
Ordinary M S-Class Pilot may not be able to react much in the face of such a situation, but now the pilots of the six aircraft are all aces among aces. Whether it is Skull Squadron with rich combat experience, or Xiao Ran who has experienced many worlds and has the strength of B-class Pilot, they all have enough ability to react to this wave of missile attacks.
The thrusters behind the six airframes lit up almost at the same time, and they dispersed and rushed into the sky in an instant. The target of the missiles was the ground rather than the sky, so Xiao Ran and others driving the airframes into the sky was also a way of coping. But not only that, Ozma When the bodies of and Brera flew into the sky, they also dispersed towards both sides of the team. The MS even raised the weapon in its hand and pointed the muzzle at both sides of the team to facilitate the immediate attack on the enemies appearing on both sides.
Michel and Luca spread out towards the rear. Alter also drove his own aircraft closely next to the two aircraft. Only Xiao Ran's Black Astray, after bouncing off in an instant, not only did not dodge in any other direction, but rushed towards the missile in front.
The Beam Rifle and Twin-barreled Gatling Shield plates on both arms, the muzzles on both sides of the shoulders, and the Gatling cannons on the two shoulder shields also started operating at the same time. In less than a second, two yellow and one pink beams of light suddenly sprayed out from the muzzles, and the four Gatling cannons also sprayed out four Fire Snake.
The three beams passed through the missile flying in the front respectively, and then brought out a few fleeting sparks. The four Fire Snake were like a dense barrage, hitting the missiles one after another. In the blink of an eye, fireballs exploded in the sky in front of Black Astray, almost dyeing the Xiao Ran cockpit screen with a layer of color.
A whole row of dense missiles were all destroyed by a single attack from Xiao Ran, forming a row of roaring sparks in the sky.
At the same time, almost twenty streaks of smoke and dust caused by the high speed appeared directly in front of Xiao Ran. When the screen zoomed in on the picture there, what appeared in Xiao Ran's eyes turned out to be all the big demons. The big demon was in the Zeon Army can be regarded as the new generation of Mass-produced Mecha, but the number is actually not as many as Zaku II, so the number of these more than 20 demons actually shows the caution with which Zeon treats Xiao Ran and the others.
To Xiao Ran's right and rear left, more than thirty MSs from the Zeon Army suddenly appeared. Most of them were Zaku IIs, but there were also a few Tigers mixed in. Xiao Ran even saw two Zaku IIs that actually erected a tower-shaped device that was slightly taller than the MSs.
Fifty MSs suddenly appeared, and they all launched an attack on six MSs. Although the distance from where these MSs appeared was not very close, these distances could not affect anything in the MS battle, and the speed of the two dozen big demons was also extremely fast, and they attacked the six machines with rocket launchers one after another.
Luca reported as soon as the tower was erected, "It's a jamming tower! Although it will have little impact on our current communication at this distance, it will completely block external communication."
Faced with the attacks of more than fifty Zeon Army, Xiao Ran and the other six people did not panic at all. Not to mention fifty, Xiao Ran had also faced more enemies, and the members of Skull Squadron had also experienced denser barrages when fighting insects.
Therefore, compared with the attacks of more than fifty aircrafts, the six Xiao Rans can dodge fairly easily. Even if some attacks cannot be avoided, the machine guns of Zaku are as powerful as those fired by ordinary tanks, but with the six aircrafts of PS Armor, they are almost ignored.
Facing the attack of Zaku MS, the six Astray did not gather together but all dispersed. Considering the combat capabilities of the six of them and the performance of the machine, it was more appropriate to disperse than to gather together. Even if they were gathered together, it would only make Zeon's artillery fire hit harder, but it was still a burden for them.
The scattering of the six machines also meant that the attacks of the Zeon Army's fifty-odd D-class machines were also dispersed. Xiao Ran alone drove his own machine towards the more than twenty big demons coming from the front. With the advantage of the sky and powerful firepower, he fired a full set of cannons at those big demons.
Beams of light shot out from the rifle and the muzzle on the shoulder, and twelve missiles ejected directly with long tails. In addition, the Fire Snake emerging from the four Gatling cannons also caused the more than 20 big demons to also disperse and spread. The distance between them continued to rush toward the six Astrays without decreasing their speed. At the same time, they launched attacks and cooperated with the Zakus and Tigers that had begun to disperse in the other two directions to form a circle surrounding the six machines.
In the sky, there were hundreds of fighter planes flying towards Xiao Ran and the others from several directions. From several locations further away, a total of at least hundreds of tanks and a similar number of Missile Launcher also adjusted their directions and fired shells and missiles one after another at the six mobile suits in the air.
Zeon's plan was very good. They knew that these mobile suits had high combat effectiveness, and generally MS Unit was no match at all, so they mobilized a lot of aces. However, these aces did not engage in direct combat with Xiao Ran and the others, but instead formed a large A large-scale mobile encirclement entangled Xiao Ran and others within a certain range without seeking to defeat the enemy, only to contain them. When Xiao Ran and the others took off, they had to face the fire suppression of air planes and missiles, and even tank groups would also bombard them.
The reason for this is also because the combat effectiveness displayed by Xiao Ran and the others yesterday was too terrifying. Zeon is not willing to let its own ace fight against them, especially when it is already at a gradual disadvantage. The role that one Ace Pilot can play is very great. Zeon is not willing to sacrifice too many Ace Pilot lives in exchange for victory.
Secondly, Zeon also has the idea of capturing a complete Astray. In the battlefield, the maneuverability, speed, flying ability, and attack strength of the Astray are far beyond that of the Zaku II that they are currently equipped on a large scale. Even the new mass-produced body of the Demon has also been surpassed.
The various characteristics displayed by Astray have also allowed Zeon to see the future development direction of mobile suits, especially the ability to fly, which really makes Zeon excited, and Earth Federation has this Such a machine is also a disaster for Zeon. Only if Zeon possesses such a machine can they ensure that the current situation will not be greatly reversed. From these aspects, it is inevitable for Zeon to capture Astray.
Originally, Zeon really had a very good plan. In view of the performance of the M1 Astray troops yesterday, in today's battle, Zeon really invested a large amount of troops to attack and surround a certain important Earth Federation stronghold, with the purpose of forcing the M1 Astray troops to appear.
But who would have thought that commander Xiao Ran did not act according to the script they designed, directly divided the team, unexpectedly attacked three armored divisions, and then ran away to rejoin the battle line between Earth Federation and Zeon Army. He was not working as a firefighter like yesterday, so all their plans turned into waste paper.
