Magellan's Orbital Bombing!
Chapter 1799 Magellan's Orbital Bombing!
As they sped along, the Banshee Gundam and G Quarks Gundam, riding on their flight pedals, finally spotted the enormous mechanical beast that was being entangled by the Zeta Gundam Unit 4 and Gaplan, unable to move towards the deep sea.
"That...that's a person?!"
When Tenshou saw the grotesque appearance of the mechanical beast, its entire body covered in muscle tissue, he couldn't help but shudder.
"No, it's a mechanical beast."
He Ming also saw the massive body covered in muscles, but he could also notice that the mechanical beast's left eye was flashing with a cold red light.
This scene represents the mechanical components within the mechanical beast's body.
Moreover, judging from the gradually expanding muscle outline covering its entire body, this mechanical beast subtly resembled a certain image from He Ming's memory.
For example, something called the Colossal Giant.
of course.
Judging from the scene, this mechanical beast is much larger than the former, but its body outline does have a certain resemblance.
"Colonel, we have reached the designated position. However, the location of the Psycho Gundam is quite far from the combat zone."
At this time, Cunyu Feng sent a message.
"Stay hidden and wait patiently."
Without offering an explanation, He Ming kept Murasame waiting while signaling CC and Rosamia to retreat.
The two were puzzled, but they did as instructed.
After coordinating and taking turns drawing the attention of the massive mechanical beast, the ZETA Gundam Unit 4 and Gaplan successfully completed their retreat.
However, the sudden departure of the two caused this colossal mechanical beast to come to a standstill.
They seemed somewhat bewildered by the two's retreat and didn't know what to do.
This pause gave the Magellan battleship fleet, which had entered its planned attack trajectory, an opportunity.
"Successfully entered the predetermined orbit! All ship thrust is normal! Engines are operating normally, speed is normal, and ship flight attitude error is within -0.001%."
"All artillery units have completed charging! Coordinate parameter calibration complete!"
"Ten seconds until the designated firing window!"
Rebil tightened the buckle on his spacesuit helmet and slowly exhaled.
This was an experiment, and also a practical test of a combat plan that had been envisioned for many years.
The presence of Minovsky particles severely limits the range of long-range weapons that ground forces can use.
If it were possible to provide long-range strike support to ground targets from orbit in outer space while the ground battlefield is affected by Minovsky particles, could it alleviate the predicament of the lack of long-range support for ground troops?
To verify this, Reibill began preparations after the One Year War, and during the subsequent reform of the space fleet, he stepped in to save the last Magellan fleet and entrusted it to Anaheim Electronics for several years of modification and upgrading.
This project has always been kept extremely secret.
Aside from Cardias, Rita, him, and Tianm, only Heming learned of the project's existence after his return.
Not long ago, He Ming, who was preparing to attack Doctor Hell's lair, sent a signal to Reibil to activate the Magellan Fleet.
"General Reiber! Five seconds before launch! Give the order!"
The fleet weapons controller looked at Rebil, who stood up and nodded.
"3!"
"2!" "1!"
As the countdown reached 1, Rebil gathered his strength, raised his hand, and shouted fiercely.
"fire!!"
The instant Reibir gave the order, 20 Magellan battleships flew over the ruined island in a double column. Their newly redesigned MEGA particle cannons, modified for extended range, fired in unison, unleashing torrents of particles that pierced the atmosphere and reached the head of the colossal creature standing atop the island's wreckage.
"boom!"
"boom!!"
In an instant, as thunderous roars echoed from the sky, the entire sea boiled once again, and a scene similar to the previous pillar of fire shooting into the sky reappeared.
However, this time the beam of light did not descend from below, but rather poured down from above, completely suppressing the mechanical beast onto the island's wreckage, preventing it from advancing any further.
"This...this is artillery support from a space battleship?!"
CC blinked and looked up at the sky above, which had been pierced by the beam of light.
"Yes, it's General Rebil's secret weapon."
As soon as He Ming raised his hand to signal, the intelligent AI cube immediately began collecting data.
Before long, the intelligent AI cube provided its conclusion.
"The energy decay is not as expected, far exceeding the initial design specifications."
"Okay, after you've compiled the detailed data, send it to General Rebil!"
He Ming was not surprised by this conclusion; in fact, it was something he had expected.
Particle beams attenuate much faster in the atmosphere than in space, and this must be taken into account when providing naval fire support to the ground battlefield from outer space.
Even so, it's already a pleasant surprise.
As the two salvos ended, the Magellan battleship fleet, nearing its gravitational limit, accelerated again, breaking away from the critical point of re-entering the atmosphere and re-entering its circumnavigation orbit.
It was several hours later when the next round arrived over the island.
Nevertheless, the Magellan battleship fleet did indeed accomplish its mission of providing initial fire support from outer space.
Amidst the boiling steam caused by the particle beams, the colossal creature, its entire body encased in muscles, was charred black, with charcoal-like debris falling from its surroundings with every movement.
Amidst the charcoal-like fly ash, the silvery-white mechanical skeleton gradually came into view before He Ming and the others.
"Only half of the body is a mechanical structure?"
Rosamia looked with a sense of disgust at the mechanical beast, which was constantly shedding chunks of flesh until only half of its mechanical body and some of the flesh attached to it remained, yet it was still struggling.
"No matter what, let's take down this monster first!"
The moment the signal was sent, the long-awaited Psycho Gundam immediately moved forward, flying to the ruined island in MA form and firing the first shot of the attack directly with the triple-barreled diffusion MEGA particle cannon on its chest.
Meanwhile, He Ming, CC, Rosamia, and Amaterasu followed closely behind, launching their own attacks in their mechs.
In the blink of an eye, the ruined island, which had just been blessed by the beam of light that fell from the sky, was once again covered by particle beams flying everywhere. The mechanical beast, whose half of its flesh and blood body was on the verge of collapse after being bombarded by the Magellan battleship, staggered backward and finally could not bear its own weight any longer, and fell into the crater on the ruined island.
"An opportunity! Give it the final blow!"
Apart from the Psycho Gundam, the other four mobile suits all drew their beam swords, aiming for a fatal blow at the vital points of this behemoth.
