ZAFT Attacks!
Chapter 727 ZAFT Attacks! (1/4)
Thunder rumbled and flames flickered.
One after another, the large Zaftvosgurov-class submarine carriers surfaced, opened the vertical take-off ports, and released Dean, Jean and the auxiliary flight system GU. At the same time, they also lowered the catapults below the waterline to release the underwater MS forces composed of Gern and Sano.
During this process, the artillery and missile attacks from the direction of the uninhabited island never stopped.
The shells landed on the water around the ZAFT submarine fleet, creating columns of water. They even directly hit several unlucky Gerns, smashing them to pieces on the spot, creating even larger columns of water that fell back onto the water mixed with debris.
At the same time, the missiles falling from the sky made pilots Dean and Gene sweat in fear as they took off.
The density was so great that some Zeon pilots were even unable to control the GU to come for support. They simply raised their heavy assault machine guns and tried to blow up the oncoming missiles one by one.
But unfortunately, only a few missiles could be hit by Gene. Most of the missiles either hit the surrounding areas of the Vosgurov-class large submarine carrier directly, or hit the deck of the large submarine carrier directly, causing explosions.
"After releasing all the mobile suits, dive immediately! Quick!"
Without hesitation, facing such a large scale of firepower, the captains of all the submarine carriers made the same decision.
Columns of water exploded and as the waves rolled, all the submarine motherships that released the MS dived to avoid the fire coverage from the uninhabited island.
After all, once they dive, the vast sea surface becomes one of their barriers.
"Tsk! You're really fast! Order all fleets to start anti-air, anti-MS, and anti-submarine operations!"
Liu Hai clenched his fists and immediately issued the latest combat orders.
"I'll leave those loaches under the water in your hands! We'll deal with the flies."
The Polaris received communications and made arrangements to deal with the enemy.
"There are a lot of flies! Even without the firepower support of the battleship, the number is enough to give your Polaris a headache for a while."
"What did you say? It's not like we, the Polaris, are the only ones going forward!"
Faced with Liu Hai's caution, Feng Yun responded with ease.
"Colonel Liu. The Archangel will also go forward to fight! Please rest assured!"
Since arriving on the uninhabited island, the Archangel, which has been keeping a low profile but has done its best to complete every mission assigned to it, has also sent a communication.
"Is that Captain Malu Ramyas? Well, I'll leave it to you guys!"
It is indeed reassuring to see the Polaris and Archangel working together to deal with the aerial MS force composed of Dean and Gene.
Inside the Polaris, in the hangar.
Sergei, Lockon and Salamantini have already boarded their own machines.
"Since the commander is currently in charge of supporting the transport fleet, I will be in charge of this operation."
"understand!"
"Roger that!"
Lockon and Salamantini naturally would not have any objections.
As for the other four iron generals' MS pilots, they would have no objection.
Because usually they fight more under Sergei's command.
"Lockon, you stay near the Polaris and snipe any target that tries to break through the defense and threaten the dredging fleet."
"Roger that!"
"Salamantini, you will coordinate in the middle and suppress the enemy with firepower as much as possible to prevent them from gathering. At the same time, you must also be alert to the appearance of the enemy's submarine carrier."
"understand!"
"The rest of you, follow me and charge!"
"Yes!"
Sergei's Iron General attacked first, followed by Lockon's Dynastron Gundam and Salamantini's Iron Man 3, and the Iron General team followed closely behind. The scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and the battlefield with constant roars and sparks suddenly unfolded in front of Lockon.
"It seems that ZAFT is determined to win!"
Lockon glanced at the number of enemies displayed on the radar and sneered.
The number of Dean and Gene who appeared in the air alone was almost one hundred.
As for the underwater MS troops, the number will probably not be less than this.
"After all, it's the military strength after being silent for half a month."
After the Iron Man 3 driven by Salamantini quickly arrived at the designated location, it immediately deployed the multiple beam cannons it was equipped with and launched a round of bombardment at the airspace with the most enemy MS.
As the light beams flashed one after another, several Dean and Gene planes that had no time to dodge either exploded in mid-air or, because of being hit by the GU, lost the ability to continue flying and could only slowly descend and fall into the sea.
"Well done!"
While Sergei praised, he also took the initiative to fight with Dean who rushed over.
The Dean that Sergei was targeting seemed very surprised by the appearance of Iron General, because from the signal captured by the radar, it seemed to be the new MS Iron Man 3 that was put into use in East Asia not long ago, but in appearance, it was different from the existing Iron Man 3 image information.
"Iron Man 3? A new MS?!"
Pilot Dean was surprised for a moment, but responded quickly.
Dean, who was driving the car he was driving, quickly raised the MMI-M1001 90mm anti-aircraft shotgun in the holster on his left waist and fired a burst of bullets at Sergei's iron general.
However, as sparks flew from the muzzle of the gun, the Iron General did not dodge. Instead, he rushed straight towards Dean with a brave attitude of taking on the challenge.
"What?! No penetration?!"
In a flash, before the Dean pilot had time to be surprised why the shotgun did not hurt Iron General, the Iron General who rushed in front of him swung his beam sword and cut him in half.
"PS Armor is operating normally, and energy consumption is in line with expectations!"
After Sergei easily defeated the enemy, he glanced at the consumption of PS equipment and issued instructions to the Iron General team.
"Iron General Squad! Pay attention to energy consumption! Don't rely too much on PS Armor!"
"Yes! Captain Sergei!"
Having said that, most of the time, the Iron General Squad relied on the powerful defense brought by the PS armor and directly rushed into the enemy group in a tactical formation of two planes, smashing the enemy planes that tried to gather into pieces, creating extreme chaos.
Not to mention, in the rear, there are the Gundam Force Angel and the heavy-firepower Iron Man 3 providing support.
On the other side of the battlefield, a ZAFT submarine fleet that had not yet surfaced was silently watching the battle and was surprised by the overwhelming battle.
"That, that's the PS Armor?! Has the Earth Federation already achieved mass production of the PS Armor?"
As a pilot of the Duel Gundam, Izak is no stranger to the PS Armor.
When Sergei killed Dean with the Iron General's PS armor, Isaac saw through the trick at a glance.
"No. Izak, I need to correct you. It was the East Asian Republic that achieved mass production of PS Armor. Not the Earth Federation."
Cruze, who was also paying attention to the battle, spoke up and corrected Yitzhak's mistake.
"But isn't the East Asian Republic also a member of the Earth Federation?"
Diego didn't understand.
"But, look at the action plans of the East Asian Republic since it released the solar power generation system. Is there any part related to the Earth Federation?"
Cruze smiled.
“Now, the world has changed in ways we could never imagine.”
