Chapter 522: Thrilling Escape or Intentional Release?

Although the Gundam Astray took advantage of the performance of the machine and the opponent's contempt, in terms of actual combat experience, the MS troops of Zeon are indeed much more than Jung and others, and the combat quality of the squad is also very good. After stabilizing their mentality, they adopted the tactic of alternating squad cover and retreating while fighting.

Although the 100MM machine gun bullets on the armor and shield made of Gundamnium alloy α can only splash out jumping sparks and leave only tiny grooves, the impact of the bullets is still not small, and no matter how strong the defense is, it dare not always withstand the bullets. The Gundam Astray still has relatively fragile parts.

Moreover, they have to dodge the rocket attacks that come from time to time. This does not need to be resisted by armor, and the shield can't even block a few.

And...

"Damn Zeon, running around, if you have the ability, fight a fair fight!" Fort Romfilo cursed while firing with the Gatling Vulcan cannon in his hand. The bullet chain dragged a long tail, but it could only follow behind the enemy's buttocks and could not touch it.

"Calm down, Forte, your mission is to drive away and intercept enemy aircraft approaching me, so don't run around and block my rays!"

"Fred, come back!"

"But they are going to run..."

"Then do you plan to catch up and eat the naval guns?"

Except for Kashima Isamu and Jung, who showed a fairly qualified tacit understanding and cooperation from the beginning, the others can almost be said to be in a mess. It seems that they are fighting in a small team, but there is no tacit understanding, and they are holding each other back.

This is no wonder. They are strangers transferred from all over the world. They didn't know each other before, and then there was the MS training. Whether it was simulation training or actual machine testing, it took less than a month in total.

On the Zeon side, although Char's troops were small in number, they were all elites carefully selected by Dozle for Char, and they all achieved good results in the Battle of Loum.

So, although Jung and others will be famous aces in the future, they are still rookies now. Facing the elite veterans of Zeon, they can protect themselves with the excellent performance of the Gundam Astray, but they can't get any good results.

At this time, Char's Zaku II found an opportunity and fired a rocket at Russ, who was aiming at his subordinate.

"Swish~"

At this time, the beam of Yang Hui's machine hit the rocket accurately, and a secondary explosion occurred between Char and Forte.

"One shot hit the rocket! What a precise shot!"

However, Char's attack did not intend to hit Russ from the beginning. This shot had successfully torn a crack in the birdcage that imprisoned him. Char immediately increased the speed of the machine to the highest level, escaped from the birdcage through this gap, and returned to the free sky.

"Boom boom boom..."

Char could not care less, and fired rockets continuously, emptying the magazine in an instant, and each rocket went to a different target.

However, the precise beam hit several rockets again, detonating them before they hit the target, and then...

"Swish~!"

A thick green beam cut through the universe, separating the entire battle area, and also making the Astray Gundams dodge in the vastness. They were not afraid of machine guns, and they could block rockets with shields, but the ship's guns... were basically gone if they were touched.

It was precisely because of this opportunity that the Red Zaku II went all out, turned into a meteor and caught up with the retreating warships and subordinates. After accommodating all 5 MS, it immediately turned around and evacuated to the distance.

"Don't chase!"

Seeing that Forte and others still wanted to continue chasing, Yang Hui immediately ordered to stop them.

"But Major..."

"I can't catch up. That Musai is a modified high-speed ship. Even Mazeren can't catch up."

"But..."

"Return to the ship."

"Understood..."X8

After returning to the ship, Yang Hui immediately ordered the maintenance team to prepare the body, and then reported to Huaken.

"Not bad, Major Yang Hui."

"Are you being sarcastic, Lieutenant Colonel Huaken."

"No, it's a sincere compliment. You know, the enemy is the Red Comet."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lieutenant Colonel Huaken, but they still have a lot of problems and need to be taught a lesson."

"That's also true."

The results of this battle are not good. Our MS troops are all in their first battle. It's amazing that they can repel the Red Comet Char in the first battle. You know, Char sank five cruisers alone in the Battle of Loum, and that was when Char had no ammunition.

But to be honest... nine against six, and the performance of the machine is obviously better than the enemy's. With the advantage of numbers and performance, only one Zaku II was destroyed.

Huaken watched the whole battle. The performance of the machine is beyond doubt. Whether it is mobility, defense, weapon power... all aspects are far superior to Zeon's Zaku II. Although I heard that this is the level of a test machine, the performance of the mass-produced machine will decline, but no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than the Zaku II, right?

So the reason why this battle turned out like this was because of the pilots. They were not well trained, their formation was chaotic, they had almost no coordination, and they were dragging each other down. They were simply a mess and a sight to behold.

"Thank you for your hard work, Major Yang Hui. We will soon reach the airborne coordinates. Take a good rest now."

"Understood."

After hanging up the communication, Hua Ken recalled the entire battle process again, and this time the focus was on Yang Hui's machine. At the beginning, Hua Ken was also surprised when he knew that Yang Hui was also going to drive the MS to attack. After the battle began, he became even more horrified. Most people could only see that Yang Hui's shooting was all dodged by Char, and finally he didn't know why he burst out, so he was lucky enough to hit the rocket that was fired.

But Hua Ken, who had a good eye, saw it at the first time. Yang Hui's shooting level was very terrifying. He didn't even think about breaking Char's Zaku II, but used shooting to restrict Char to move in a very small range. The subsequent bullets were not bursts or luck.

"What exactly do you want to do... training? Or..."

Hua Ken judged that Yang Hui showed mercy. If he wanted, Char couldn't avoid Yang Hui's shooting, so deliberately giving Char a chance to break out and retreat was worth thinking about.

Shaking his head, Hua Ken suppressed the question and concentrated on the task at hand. He prepared to organize a document and handed it to Tianm for decision after returning to Luna II.

…

On the other side, after the Farmer had shaken off the Federation Army and entered the safe space, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lieutenant Dren, the captain, wiped the sweat off his forehead.

“Fortunately, the other side didn’t catch up, otherwise, it would have been really dangerous.”

“Fortunately? How can you say it’s fortunate in this situation?” Char questioned Lieutenant Dren.

“…”

The elites selected by Dozle are naturally not short-sighted people. Dren and the others also understand what Char means. Both of them are right, but Dren is starting from his own perspective. Fortunately, the Federation Army did not chase them, otherwise they might be wiped out.

But Char’s perspective is indeed from the entire war, the entire Zeon Army. Although the actions and tactics of the Federation MS are very immature and immature, the performance of the machine is much higher than that of the Zaku II, and this is not just one, but nine, so…can this machine be mass-produced? If it is mass-produced, how should the Zeon MS troops deal with it?

Of course, Char was just talking about this worry. The true face of the [V Plan] could be confirmed. The M1 Heretic that Yang Hui had shown him was an excellent machine that made him jealous. It was certain that Yang Hui was involved in the [V Plan], and then...

"That machine... You hid it so well, Yang Hui."

When Char thought of the Heretic Gundam that entangled him and imprisoned him in a birdcage, he couldn't help but shudder. After the two sides came into contact, the enemy plane basically stood still without moving, and the two double guns kept shooting. Even if he wanted to fight back, every time he aimed the muzzle at the enemy plane, the fatal beam forced him to give up the attack.

And the last accurate shooting of several rockets, Char searched the memory bank, and the figures of all the Zeon MS ace pilots he knew flashed in his mind. He was sure that no one could do it. Maybe hitting one or two out of a dozen shots could do it, but hitting several shots at the same time, this shooting level can already be called "God".

"Haha, are you forcing me to bow to you?" Thinking of this, Char, who had made "God" kneel to him, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Major, what's wrong?" At this time, Lieutenant Deren interrupted Char's thoughts.

"Nothing, contact Vice Admiral Dodozlu and request to return."

"Huh? Is it over?"

"It has been successfully determined that the Federation has developed MS, and our mission has been half successful."

"What about the other half?"

"Do you think that with our current combat power, we have the ability to completely destroy it?"

"No!" Lieutenant Deren shook his head violently, almost shaking out an afterimage.

What a joke? The other pilots were inexperienced and almost wiped them out. If they go again... are they going to be experience babies?

Besides, this small fleet came out from Luna 2, which means that the location of this plan is still Luna 2. Let them attack Luna 2 alone? It would be easier to kill me directly.

So, now that the mission target has been determined, their mission can be handed in. If they want to continue, they also need to go back and request support.

"Contact Vice Admiral Dozle, I will take the responsibility."

"Yes..."

Returning to his room, Char locked the door, took off his mask for the first time in a long time, and slumped in a chair.

This battle made him feel the crisis of death that he had never felt in the One Week War and the Battle of Loum. Yang Hui's attack seemed fierce but not murderous, but even so, it brought unparalleled pressure to Char, a pressure that he had never felt even when he was threatened by Kycilia or pointed at by the cannon of a steel tank when he was a child.

However, while tired, Char was looking forward to it excitedly. He and Yang Hui were partners. The stronger the power Yang Hui showed, the higher the success rate of their cooperation.

"It seems that you have started to make a move, but I don't know when you will fulfill the gift you promised to give me?"
