February 7, CE71, before 12:00 standard time
Compared to Shiho Hahnenfuss's own early mass production model GuAIZ team, there are negative but obvious changes;
What Shiho Hahnenfuss saw when he returned to the battle between Gamow and 8th Fleet's advance fleet was almost the same as when Shiho Hahnenfuss chased Mu and left.
The damage to Gamow was still there, but the original smoke was controlled by damage control, and due to the reduced flexibility, it had to actively and passively increase the distance from the 8th Fleet advance fleet.
On the team of senior Heine Westenfluss, senior Heine Westenfluss is still driving CGUE alone on the front line, but the actual distance is also wider;
But even so, the Moebius under the control of the 8th Fleet advance fleet are still firmly hiding in the close-in defense artillery fire network formed by the warships. There are not a few of them, and it seems that they have all been repaired.
Since the Gamow has temporarily lost its readiness and maintenance capabilities, the two D Equipment and the Ginn do not dare to shoot anti-ship missiles rashly in order to maintain deterrence against the 8th Fleet advance fleet.
As for the 8th Fleet advance fleet on the other side, after Gamow was attacked before, they might have tried to take the initiative to defeat Gamow;
However, from the current observation of Shiho Hahnenfuss, at least it has now changed to a posture of standing firm and waiting for help, and the whole body is increasingly leaning against the wreckage of Junius Seven. It may be an attempt to make our own side throw a rat weapon.
At this time, as Shiho Hahnenfuss approached, the communication between seniors Gamow and Heine Westenfluss naturally came in.
After observing that Shiho Hahnenfuss only returned a single machine, Heine Westenfluss also seriously confirmed with Shiho Hahnenfuss.
"Shiho Hahnenfuss, how is the situation here?"
"Sorry, Senior Heine Westenfluss.
The combat power of Archangel and Strike Gundam has been underestimated by us.
The team's other two early mass production models, GuAIZ, were both destroyed.
But Archangel only defeated Strike Gundam, but not completely;
And although Archangel was hit by my experimental beam weapon once in a non-lethal part, it was almost unscathed at least from the naked eye.
To be honest, there were two main guns but only one was used, but it didn't seem to be caused by my attack this time;
In addition, a large amount of energy and missiles were consumed in the battle, but the specific remaining reserves are not clear."
Amid Captain Zelman's somewhat disbelieving look, and Senior Heine Westenfluss's silence, Shiho Hahnenfuss made another important addition.
"In addition to the relatively insufficient estimate of combat power based on the information previously provided by Commander Creuset Team, there is also a huge omission in the previous intelligence.
According to the Strike Gundam pilot's self-report, he was a Orb civilian who was involved in the battle at Heliopolis, and he was also a Coordinator."
"What, this is impossible, Hanifs Team is long, please explain in detail!"
Regarding Shiho Hahnenfuss's major supplement, which could be said to be vaguely accusing Captain Creuset Team of deception, Captain Zelman immediately had a stress reaction - of course, it is also possible that he was just in disbelief that Coordinator, who lived in Orb, became the pilot of the Earth Alliance's new mobile suit.
No matter what Captain Zelman thought, senior Heine Westenfluss, who was able to calm down and make calm judgment despite being on the most dangerous front line, responded to Captain Zelman instead of Shiho Hahnenfuss who didn't know where to start.
"There are indeed Coordinator who are unwilling to participate in the war, or Coordinator who lived on Earth before, and who live in Orb for a long time or temporarily.
Then there is Coordinator on Heliopolis, and because of our attack, Earth Alliance had to be added, it is not completely impossible, it can only be said that fate has a way of making people, isn't it?"
After answering Captain Zelman in a somewhat evasive manner, Heine Westenfluss took the initiative to ask Shiho Hahnenfuss and pointed out a more urgent question.
"Shiho Hahnenfuss-chan, that means Archangel is following you now and will arrive here soon, right?"
"Yes, senior Heine Westenfluss, I guess he will catch up after completing the containment of the broken Strike Gundam.
Considering that there should not be another Coordinator pilot, and although Strike Gundam was not defeated, I did temporarily stop my activities when I retreated;
The mobile weapons that Archangel can dispatch may only be the ordinary Moebius 1 machine piloted by 'Hawk of Endymion'."
After listening to Shiho Hahnenfuss's serious and responsible report, Heine Westenfluss nodded repeatedly.
"In this case, it's not actually a big problem.
I received a message from Commander Creuset Team earlier. It is estimated that Vesalius will be able to reach the edge of the battle here in a few minutes.
I have to say, this battle has become interesting.
Although Gamow was seriously damaged due to the surprise attack by Mu·La·La Flaga.
But since Shiho Hahnenfuss you have successfully retreated back with key information, we are not without the strength to fight.
In this way, the battlefield turns from north to south and then east, and it becomes us and the Creuset Team commander outflanking the 8th Fleet advance fleet;
And the 8th Fleet advance fleet and Archangel double-teamed us and Gamow.
This is a really interesting scene."
Listening to Heine Westenfluss's words, Captain Zelman recalled the thrilling scene earlier, so he first apologized for the rudeness just now, and then expressed his determination.
"I'm sorry, Captain Shiho Hahnenfuss, I was really rude just now. I never meant to question the information you brought back through hard work.
No matter what, this battle is my fault. Even if I risk my life, I have to persist until Creuset Team arrives!"
Facing Captain Zelman's bowed apology, Shiho Hahnenfuss also shook his head to indicate not to care;
But for the relatively rational Shiho Hahnenfuss, Captain Zelman's statement of "risking his life" cannot solve the current problem;
Fortunately, Heine Westenfluss quickly noticed this and came up with a specific plan.
"No, no, no, Captain Zelman.
Although you are in a good mood, the current war situation has not reached this point yet, and we are still fully capable of fighting.
You see, Earth Alliance's fleet did not seize the opportunity to attack and break the situation just now, which shows that the opponent is not sure of victory.
In short, although the genna cabin is abandoned, Gamow can still provide simple maintenance for a single machine, right?"
In response to Heine Westenfluss's inquiry, Captain Zelman nodded slightly doubtfully;
Heine Westenfluss, who got the expected affirmative reply, gave a specific plan.
"Shiho Hahnenfuss-chan, return your machine to Gamow first, upload important combat data and simply modify it;
My team also retreated slightly, as long as it maintained the containment of the Earth Alliance fleet;
Gamow should also drive towards the wreckage of Junius Seven. As long as it doesn't fire, it shouldn't disturb the deceased.
Let's just buy some more time honestly and wait until Creuset Team grows up and then we can clean up the situation together."
Captains Shiho Hahnenfuss and Zelman looked at each other and finally approved Heine Westenfluss's proposal;
Just before taking further action, Shiho Hahnenfuss made a reminder about 'Celestial Being'.
"Captain Zelman, senior Heine Westenfluss, judging from the performance of the Earth Alliance fleet, maybe they are here to support Archangel.
In this case, Earth Alliance's vague words during the previous communication are now understandable.
Just like this..."
Shiho Hahnenfuss Before he finished speaking, Captain Zelman reacted.
"In other words, 'Celestial Being' is probably nearby?!"
While Captain Zelman was 'shocked', the radar controller on board Gamow reported the expected news.
"The ship shadow was found at the edge of the radar. After comparing the data, it was confirmed to be 'Long Legs'!"
"Anyway, let's take action first.
Captain Zelman, regarding the latest news including 'Celestial Being', please contact Captain Creuset Team as soon as possible."
The battle situation was urgent. After the three of them nodded to each other, they cut off the communication and acted according to Heine Westenfluss's previous proposal.
