The Truth Behind the Destruction of Gundam!
Chapter 2066 The Truth Behind the Destruction of Gundam!
"Visually destroy Gundam! All units, deploy according to the battle plan, disperse!"
As the first rays of dawn broke, the Reverse Feather Squad, which had stormed into the battlefield from high above, also saw the ten Destruction Gundams leading the remnants of the Blue Cosmos party in a sweeping advance.
At the same time, the tactical data link also distributed the ten Destroyer Gundams equally among the Reverse Feather Squad and the Akabane Battalion on the other side.
"Three aircraft! All aircraft, first salvo, commence!"
After glancing at the information from the tactical data link, Aslan immediately pressed down on the control stick, putting his second-generation Reverse Feather fighter into a dive.
Sasha and her brother, Shin Asuka, and Stella followed closely behind.
The strong wind howled across the battlefield as the Reverse Feather Squad and the Red Feather Battalion dove down, causing many of the fanatical Blue Cosmos remnant soldiers to instinctively look up at the sky, which was already shrouded in the dawn.
Then, they saw hundreds of miniature missiles fall from the sky, raining down around the ten Destroyer Gundams and exploding into clouds of anti-beam powder that instantly enveloped the space within a hundred meters of the Destroyer Gundams.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the beam weapons on the Destroyer Gundam seemed to go silent, unable to shoot more than ten meters away. They were worn down by the anti-beam powder cloud, losing most of their energy and turning into nothingness.
"Alright! Let's get to work."
After drawing arcs in the air, the two new mechs, Reverse Feather and Red Feather, dispersed and flew toward their respective targets.
In an atmospheric environment, the effective duration of a reflective powder cloud is not as long as it is in a vacuum.
Therefore, everyone must seize the opportunity to engage in melee combat while the beam weapon of the Destroyer Gundam is temporarily sealed.
As the two transformable fighters, Reverse Feather and Red Feather, flew through the air, they transformed from MA mode to MS mode, drew their newly developed high-frequency vibration longswords, and rushed forward to attack the joints, neck, and other areas that the PS armor could not protect against the Destroyer Gundam.
The sight of one machine feigning an attack while another or multiple machines launched a fierce assault, relentlessly targeting the weaknesses of various parts of the Destroyer Gundam, made the surrounding Blue Cosmos remnant MS forces feel uneasy.
Some of them were still unaware of the strength of the Reverse Feather and Red Feather transformable fighters, but seeing how skillfully these transformable MS descended from the sky launched their attack on the Destroyer Gundam, they could already tell that this transformable MS unit was a trump card specifically deployed to target the Destroyer Gundam.
"Don't let those damned Alliance mobile suits destroy our Destroyer Gundam! Quick! Cover the Destroyer Gundam!"
The Blue Cosmos remnant officers who had followed Mikael to that underground space roared and ordered their confidants to step forward and cover the Destroyer Gundam.
However, before they could even begin to act, a piercing shriek suddenly came from the sky.
The next second, waves of fire rose up like bamboo shoots after spring, engulfing the Blue Cosmos remnants who had "conquered" the position. Before they could react, the Blue Cosmos soldiers, armored units, and mobile suits were all engulfed.
"Boom!"
"Boom!!!"
In the sky, countless fiery meteors rose from the distance, accompanied by shrill cries, engulfing the Blue Cosmos soldiers who had once thought victory was assured.
These fireballs came from a long-range firepower formation consisting of heavy artillery-type mobile suits modeled after iron soldiers, lined up in front of the core defense line of the Solar Energy Construction Alliance.
One after another, heavy artillery long-range strike-type iron soldiers, each larger than a regular mobile suit, continuously fired shells from their 300mm x 50mm smoothbore cannons with the help of automatic ammunition feeders. The shells traveled nearly thirty kilometers across the sky before crashing down on the Blue Cosmos remnant's position, inflicting a bloody and fiery punishment on these remnants.
"First salvo, hit target, damage assessment in progress!" "Second salvo, initiating firing data adjustments!"
Liu Hai calmly watched the images fed back from reconnaissance planes, frontline outposts, and reconnaissance satellites from space, and nodded involuntarily.
The appearance of ten Destroyer Gundams did cause some trouble, but with the countermeasures in place, these ten Destroyer Gundams were nothing more than oversized targets!
Therefore, as long as these Destroyer Gundams are tied down, the Blue Cosmos rebels' ground forces will be no match for them.
"Let those Navy guys get started too!"
"Yes, Commander!"
At Liu Hai's command, the Alliance Navy stationed in the designated sea area opened all their missile launch bays and launched cruise missiles one after another. The next second after these cruise missiles took off, the Heretic Murasame and other MS from Orb, which is now also one of the Alliance's active MS, also took off and quickly circled around the flanks of the battlefield, heading straight for the flank defenses of the Blue Cosmos remnants.
Witnessing their ground forces suffer such heavy losses, the ten Destroy Gundams naturally wanted to support their troops as soon as possible. However, how could the two transformable MS units, Reverse Feather and Akabane, who had already locked onto the weaknesses of the Destroy Gundams' bodies, let them go?
Athrun skillfully evaded the giant hand of the Destroyer Gundam as it slammed down on him, then used a high-G maneuver of 720° consecutive rolls to attack along its arm, reaching the left side of the Destroyer Gundam's head.
"Chance!"
Athrun's gaze was fixed on the neck of the Destroyer Gundam, which was not protected by the PS armor. He quickly controlled the Second Generation Reverse Feather and swung the high-frequency vibration blade in his hand straight into it.
"puff!!"
An indescribable sense of ease made Aslan's eyes light up slightly, but then a strong sense of unease suddenly arose.
"wrong!"
Athrun's expression suddenly changed. He immediately controlled the second-generation Reverse Feather to grip the hilt of the sword and swept it horizontally, instantly slicing a large gash in the neck of the Destroyer Gundam.
"Pfft!!"
As the unusual gushing sound approached, Aslan, who was prepared, controlled the second-generation Reverse Feather to retreat rapidly, just in time to avoid the sudden spurt of liquid.
"Blood?!"
Aslan gasped as he watched the liquid instantly stain the black shoulder armor of the Destroyer Gundam red.
"Attention everyone!! The Destroyer Gundam is not a machine! It is an abnormal product that is half-machine and half-biological!!"
Aslan's warning suddenly spread throughout the battlefield, causing Liu Hai, who was sitting in the forward command center, to stand up abruptly.
"Quick! Bring up the footage where you can see the Destroyer Gundam!"
Just as Liu Hai finished speaking, another Destroyer Gundam, its hands severed by the Akabane Battalion and gushing bloody liquid, was captured on camera.
Suddenly, everyone's expression changed drastically.
"This is the trump card of those remnants and the Ghost Face Gang?! A monster made of who-knows-what?!"
