Earth Alliance Forces Initiate the Attack

"Patrol and surveillance forces in the air must be strengthened. From now on, we must all enter a state of combat readiness to prevent the Earth Alliance Forces from launching a surprise attack on us."

Looking at the map, Felix wore a heavy expression, his voice sounding somewhat dull. Andrew agreed, responding with a grunt.

"Hmm!"

After that grunt, Andrew speculated.

"The Earth Alliance Forces have already been caught off guard twice by the communication and radar interference caused by the Neutron Jammer. If they launch another offensive, I suspect they have already found a way to counter it.

At that point, our advantage will be significantly diminished."

"Your speculation makes a lot of sense."

Nodding, Felix agreed.

Having said that, he carefully examined the information on the map before him, making new deployment arrangements as he reviewed it.

Once the adjustments were complete, he turned to look at Andrew and asked.

"How does this feel?"

"The adjustments are well-made."

Nodding, Andrew expressed his approval.

Just as he finished speaking, a soldier stood at the door and shouted.

"Report!"

"Enter!"

Looking up toward the door, Felix spoke.

The soldier walked into the room, saluted Felix and Andrew, and then reported to Felix.

"Captain, a call from the Ministry of Defense!"

"Read it!"

Uttering a single word, Felix continued to look at the content on the map. The soldier raised the virtual display in his hand and recited the contents of the virtual screen.

"Based on the feedback from your unit, the Ministry of Defense has confirmed, and the Supreme Council has approved!

Reinforcements are being sent to your unit, and a new batch of supplies is being dispatched!

These supplies and reinforcements will arrive around March 15th!

We expect your unit to hold Victoria Spaceport with all your might until the reinforcements and new supplies arrive!

PLANT Ministry of Defense, sent!"

"Send a reply to the Ministry of Defense!"

After hearing the full content of the document, Felix ordered the soldier without looking back. Receiving the order, the soldier replied with a single word, saluted, lowered the virtual display, and turned to walk out of the room.

Felix, looking down at the map, glanced briefly at the information displayed on the virtual screen, then turned to Andrew with a smile on his lips.

"Captain Waltfeld, do you think we can manage to hold our ground until the reinforcements and supplies arrive?"

"If the Earth Alliance Forces' attack frequency is not high, we might be able to do it. If the frequency is very high, it will be difficult to maintain the defense of Victoria Spaceport."

Having said this, Andrew turned to look at Felix and continued.

"Even with a top-tier MS pilot like you here, it is very difficult to turn the tide of a war under high-frequency pressure. After all, there are times when some situations cannot be reversed by a single powerful MS pilot.

Continuous high-intensity combat will cause our troop losses to gradually increase, and eventually, when we lack sufficient manpower, no one here will be able to save the situation."

"Then we can only take it one step at a time. I hope the Earth Alliance Forces' attack frequency won't be too high."

With a look of worry on his face, he spoke with a tone of prayer. After saying this, Felix sighed deeply in his heart!

March 11th, 15:00

Felix and Andrew, who were discussing some matters in the command center, heard the urgent sound of an alarm!

Alerted by the alarm, a soldier rushed into the room and reported the situation to the two of them.

"Captain, the Earth Alliance Forces have launched an attack!"

"Understood!"

He replied.

Felix turned to look at Andrew and said.

"The Earth Alliance Forces' air power will certainly arrive before their ground forces! I will lead the MS units to intercept their air power to prevent them from breaking into our defensive positions.

I will buy you the necessary time so that you can better block the Earth Alliance Forces' ground troops."

Upon hearing this, Andrew thought for a moment and voiced his opposition.

"I think it is very likely that the Earth Alliance Forces will launch a combined air-ground assault this time, rather than what you imagine.

After all, the Earth Alliance is well aware that if they act separately, they risk losing both, so a combined assault is more likely."

Hearing these words, Felix thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"What you say makes perfect sense."

Felix paused for a moment before continuing.

"Even so, we should sortie first and strike them hard on the front lines to weaken the Earth Alliance Forces, which will facilitate the defense of Victoria Spaceport."

"You are right."

Nodding, Andrew responded.

After this conversation concluded, Felix and Andrew walked out of the room.

Inside the Temporary Hangar where the MS were docked within the spaceport:

Felix sat in the cockpit of the White Ginn, powered it up, and opened the communication channel to issue his orders.

"We will divide this operation into three parts. One group will remain on the ground as a reserve force, rotating in when necessary while standing ready to provide support to other sectors of the battlefield.

A second group will work with the ground forces to construct the final line of defense for Victoria Spaceport.

The rest will sortie to intercept the enemy from all directions."

With the orders given, Felix began organizing the units into their respective groups. Once the grouping was complete, he piloted the White Ginn, taking flight into the air with the assistance of a Guul.

After a brief hover in the air, he led a small detachment toward the north, while the remaining units headed in their assigned directions to engage the enemy.

Having flown only twenty kilometers, a sharp, urgent warning alarm for an incoming attack rang in his ears. The situation ahead was magnified on his screen, revealing over a hundred missiles streaking toward them.

The missiles flew at high speeds with stable trajectories.

It seems they have abandoned radar guidance for these missiles in favor of inertial guidance, which has lower precision.

Watching the missiles, Felix analyzed the situation internally while his finger pulled the trigger to open fire.

The White Ginn raised its Heavy Assault Machine Gun, and as he pulled the trigger, bullet after bullet erupted from the muzzle.

In a split second, every round in the magazine was spent.

Dozens of bullets tore through the air, accurately striking the incoming missiles. A series of explosions erupted ahead, the fire from the blasts forming a wall right before his eyes.

As Felix opened fire, the Ginns accompanying him also began to shoot.

The bullets they unleashed finished off the remaining missiles.

Having dealt with the missiles, Felix and his team continued to push forward.

However, after advancing only thirty more kilometers, they were met with another wave of missiles. It was clear that this wave was different from the previous ones; these were aimed directly at them rather than at Victoria Spaceport.
