Chapter 620: The Invasion of California (Part 2)

In the sky, the Luna and the White Fortress were surrounded by dense enemy aircraft. The [Porcupine Formation] Vulcan cannons were desperately spitting out flames, and the [Gotfield] and [Heroic] fired in succession.

"Turn left 30 degrees, [Heroic] fire, missile launcher loaded with anti-aircraft shrapnel, lock coordinates A35, G12, S91, fire!"

"The barrage on the port side is too weak, the [Porcupine Formation] program has been modified, and the Dopp fighters are eliminated first, and the MS are handed over to the main guns and MS troops."

Baki Lulu and Brad commanded the warships in an orderly manner. The dense Dopp fighters in the sky were like a swarm of bees, and there were also many MS on the [Dedai YS], which posed a huge threat to the two [Kirin-class] ships, even though there were four teams of Astray Gundam guards around them.

"Damn it, there are too many of them. I should have asked the colonel to let me go to the ground forces!" Fred Leiber cursed. Facing the piles of enemy planes, especially the mosquito-like Dopp fighters, Fred Leiber abandoned his favorite multi-functional beam gauntlet and used the dual-wielded double beam Gatling guns to fight the enemy.

Although a large number of mosquitoes were turned into debris and fell to the ground with one sweep, this was not his favorite fighting style, so he was very frustrated.

"Fort should like this scene very much, and he should be replaced by us!" Blogger Carl, who is also good at close combat, also complained. The medium-range Gatling gun strafing is Fort Romfilo's favorite fighting style. The feeling of one man blocking the pass makes him unable to stop.

And now in the air is just the time when this fighting style is most suitable for use, because the number of enemies is too large, especially the Dopp fighters, like swarms of mosquitoes. Except for weapons such as Vulcan guns or submunitions, it is too tiring to eliminate them.

Yes, there is also the full-power strafing of the super Mega cannon of the No. 4 machine, which is also very cool.

But for bloggers Carl and Fred Reber, who like to chop people with knives, they can't finish the chopping even if they die of exhaustion.

"The conventional air strike force has taken off, and now is the time to really decide the outcome." Travis Kakuland reminded.

"Understood!"

Their main task has always been to attract the attention of the air force of the California base and provide a safe passage for the conventional air strike force. Now that the real protagonist has finally come online, they should also fulfill their duties.

"Order." At this time, Baki Lulu's order sounded in everyone's communication channel, "The 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th teams will break out in different directions and then counter-encircle the enemy."

"Break out and then counter-encircle!? Understood!" XN

After thinking about it in his mind, Travis Kakuland and others understood Baki Lulu's plan. Using the Luna and the White Fortress as bait to attract the enemy's attack, the MS team broke out from the center of the battlefield, and then surrounded the enemy in the opposite direction, trapping the enemy tightly and preventing them from interfering with the advance of the air strike force.

This is a very dangerous plan, but it is also the best way to ensure the safety of the conventional troops.

For a moment, the Astray Gundams gave up protecting the Luna and the White Fortress, and broke out from five different directions, instantly tearing the enemy troops surrounding them into six pieces.

"Disperse!"

The five teams dispersed and formed a circle to surround the air forces of the Principality of Zeon.

"All aircraft, fire all bullets, don't save ammunition!"

"Understood!" XN

Dozens of Astray Gundams desperately tilted all their firepower towards the surrounded enemy aircraft group. For a moment, it was like a swarm of insects encountering pesticides, falling to the ground in pieces, and dense wreckage and debris were like heavy rain.

Just as they were about to turn around to deal with the Gundam Astray that surrounded them, the Luna and White Fortress in the center attacked. The thick pink beams cut the sky into several pieces, missiles fired in unison, countless fireworks bloomed, the [Heroic] electromagnetic gun released destructive lightning, and the [Porcupine Formation] wrapped the two warships like hedgehogs, and any enemy aircraft that wanted to get close would be torn apart by the flames.

On the side, the conventional air strike brigade passed safely and was stunned for a moment. For the first time, they felt that Zeon's air force was so weak.

But what was more clear was that they knew they could never do this, nor could they carry out such a dangerous operation, let alone protect themselves in such a dangerous situation.

…

At the California base, Som was in the command center with a grim expression and sweat dripping continuously.

"Osborn and Gondola sank, Zelas, Kuzel, and Liben were severely damaged..."

"The 24th Underwater MS Battalion signal was lost! The 45th and 4S units suffered heavy losses and requested support!"

"The 4th Ground Mixed Division suffered heavy losses and requested to retreat..."

"The 7th and 8th Ground Mixed Division signals were lost..."

"[Magic Wolf Squad] and [Hyena Squad] signals were lost, Valkyrie 1 and 2 signals were lost..."

"The 10th Mixed Aviation Division signal was lost, and the 23rd Air Conventional Strike Squadron signal was lost..."

...

One after another, the bad news came, and the entire command center was like a funeral room. Every time a message came, it was the disappearance of a unit. Before one piece of bad news was over, the next piece of bad news followed closely, without stopping.

These pieces of bad news were like sharp steel knives, cutting into his heart one after another. Zeon was split, and the war situation on the Earth front was deteriorating day by day. They were all loyal followers of the Zabi family, For the Zabi family and for the victory of this war, they would not hesitate to risk their lives.

But...it's not like now, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, being slaughtered by the enemy indiscriminately!

These people are the foundation of the Principality of Zeon and the support to win the war. All of them are dead. How can the ambition of the Principality of Zeon be realized? How to show your loyalty to the Zabi family! ?

It was that same force, the one that had given him nightmares for a long time, the 12th Independent Technical Force, which tore his perfectly laid-out defense line to pieces.

"Damn it! They're all trash! Can't even one of the dozens of mobile suits be eliminated!?" Som yelled angrily. From the beginning of the battle to now, all he had received was bad news about his own troops, but the twelfth There is no bad news for the independent technical force. It has been almost half an hour since the battle began. The number is dozens of times that of the enemy, and it is still a positional battle, but not even a single enemy plane can be destroyed. Som can't believe this is true.

"Sir...sir!"

"What's wrong?" Som glared at his adjutant. There was enough bad news, and he didn't want to hear any more bad news.

"Federal...Federal Army..."

"What happened to the federal army!?"

"It's a large force of the federal army! A large force of the federal army is forcing its way into the California base!"

"What!?"

Som immediately looked at the combat map. He was distracted by a lot of bad news just now, and he didn't pay attention to the situation of the federal army's regular troops at all. He didn't even look at the combat map.

But during this period of time, on the combat map, the area around the California base was densely covered with red signs.

"These... these bastards!"

Som was induced by inertial thinking at the beginning. The Twelfth Independent Technical Force appeared on the battlefield, and any goal was accomplished by them alone. The regular troops of the federal army were completely cleaning teams, responsible for cleaning the battlefield and receiving goods after the battle. Losing ground will never cooperate with the 12th Independent Technical Force in combat.

So Som also judged from the beginning that this battle was still a one-man show of the 12th Independent Technical Force, and they planned to take down the California base alone.

In this case, Som is still confident that with the defensive positions arranged in advance and dozens of times the number, they will be piled to death in California. Even if the losses are heavy, it will not matter. At the worst, he will evacuate the California base with the remaining troops and go to Europe. Join Mark Bay on the battlefield.

As for the guilt of losing the California base, he is not worried at all. Giving up the Earth front completely and returning to the universe for the final decisive battle with the Federation was a plan that was made some time ago. Before leaving, he could use a base to replace what they regarded as Nightmare's twelfth independent technical force is a sure-profit deal.

Unexpectedly, this time, the 12th Independent Technical Force went against the norm and used themselves as bait to attract their attention. All they did was to get the large forces closer and directly attack the California base.

"Sir...sir, what should we do now?"

If it were just the Twelfth Independent Technical Force, they would still be lucky. Their numbers and preparations could kill them, but now that the large forces of the federal army are attacking, there is no hope of winning this battle.

"Inform the submarine force that we..."

"The Constantine, the Yuger, and the Sara sank! All submarines were destroyed!"

"What!? Get the Zor ready for takeoff! Let's evacuate!"

"Federal air forces have arrived at the base! They are fighting with air defense forces!"

"We withdraw..."

"Boom boom boom boom..."

"Ah~!!!" XN

"What happened!?" The violent vibrations on the ground and the dull sound of explosions made So asked angrily.

"It was a bombing by federal bombers! The airport runway was destroyed!"

"How...how could..." Som fell to the ground in despair, his eyes losing all light. The airport at the California base and the [Gau-class] attack aircraft carrier staying at the airport were his last hope for evacuation. , the airport was destroyed, and the [Gawu-class] lost the chance to take off, and the federal air force was over the base. Even if it took off, the only result would be to be shot down.

Seeing Som in such a state, other people in the command center were also in confusion. They didn't know what to do. The only thing they could think of was to escape. No matter if there was a chance or not, no matter where to escape, just escape anyway. This is The only thing they could do.
