Chapter 1347 Cutting off the retreat, Ilxia defense operation (5)

The most buggy point in Gundam's worldview (referring to the Universal Century) is not the humanoid mecha, but the nuclear fusion reactor that supports the activities of these weapons.

It is not only a nuclear fusion that can be called infinite energy, but it also gets rid of boiling water and directly converts nuclear energy into electrical energy.

And the unlimited energy is an exaggeration. It is true that its endurance is outstanding, but there is still a limit to the energy that can be output in a short period of time.

It is similar to the energy storage pool on the battleship. The output energy will also be stored in the battery to ensure a continuous supply of energy. If a large amount of energy is consumed in an instant, a low energy prompt will naturally appear.

And this shot also successfully attracted the attention of the enemy fleet to Li Chengxi.

Even if Li Chengxi is good at fighting, he can't withstand hundreds of fighter planes. He doesn't drive like this when driving a musou.

So he made a very smart choice...

Well, retreat.

"We can't retreat casually, the front line will collapse!"

"The battle is for others, but your life is your own, or do you want me to use a nuclear bomb?"

Li Chengxi never thought that he was a soldier of the Xuanshui Federation. He just came here to play. If the situation is not favorable, he will leave at any time. He is very decisive.

When Hall heard the word nuclear bomb, he chose to follow Li Chengxi honestly.

After all, it is difficult to tell whether Li Chengxi was joking. Moreover, judging from his usual behavior, he really used the weapon that was enough to blow up a military port in the space fortress Irsha.

But this is not actually selling out teammates. When Li Chengxi came, there was already a group of friendly troops in the rear formation, forming a new line of defense.

The two had just joined forces with the friendly troops, and the enemy troops almost caught up.

Now it is a complete meat grinder. Hall followed Li Chengxi closely. It was a bit unpromising to say that Hall followed Li Chengxi so closely because he felt that he might not be sure to survive in an air battle of this scale. Being next to Li Chengxi would have a higher safety factor.

After all, she was not a soldier of the Swirlwater Federation. She was hired by Alyssa and was only a mercenary in the documents.

The two of them specifically picked the weak points of the enemy, especially those who tried to bite friendly forces and had no defense against enemy aircraft behind them.

Li Chengxi was not afraid of direct confrontation, but he showed very smart and cunning characteristics on the battlefield. He never won by relying on technology, but seized the weakness and kicked it to death.

This is not a competition, nor is it the Storm Kingdom's magic mecha competition. The most efficient way to destroy the enemy on the battlefield is to be mean.

Only when you are alive can you output. I can hit your ass, why should I take your fist?

So it is obvious that Li Chengxi's body specifications are far superior to ordinary space fighters, but he always chooses sneak attacks and almost never fights head-on.

In addition, although the number of pilots of the Red Maple Republic is large, the quality...

It is really hard to say.

Up to now, the losses of pilots on both sides have been huge. Not to mention skilled and excellent pilots, even serious talents like Hall who came out of the aviation school are already in short supply.

Many pilots are quick learners. If they can survive on the battlefield, they can become veterans. If they can't survive, they are just cannon fodder.

When they meet Li Chengxi, who never plays by the rules, likes to sneak attack, and has superior performance and technology, there is almost no possibility of resistance.

It makes Li Chengxi feel like he is shooting at a fixed target. Many pilots clearly noticed that someone was following them, but they only knew to speed up blindly and didn't know how to do evasive actions.

However, the second line of defense of the Xuanshui Federation was not supported by Li Chengxi, but because the distance was shortened, the anti-aircraft guns were more accurate, and the number of pilots taking off in the second wave was more than the first wave, so they could maintain a stalemate.

But this is only temporary, because the second wave of aircraft from the Red Maple Republic has also arrived.

And the situation is different from before.

"That's the magic mecha!"

That's right, the second wave of aircraft is a flight brigade composed entirely of magic mecha.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

“The second wave of enemy aircraft is approaching, and our pilots may not be able to resist it.”

“Report, the anti-aircraft gunner visually confirmed that the second wave of enemy aircraft is a magic mecha, not a space fighter.”

After An Yun finished speaking, everyone looked at Vilania.

The latter thought for a while:

“Maybe the Storm Kingdom sold a batch of arms? As far as I know, the upper echelons should not have much good feelings towards the Red Maple Republic, but it is impossible not to make money.”

The complexity of the war lies here. It seems that the two countries are fighting, but in fact, many countries around are not just watching the fun.

The magic mecha is not a new thing. It was not considered before because the technology of various countries was not mature, and it would be too troublesome to replace the carrier-based aircraft with it.

And with their immature technology, they could not accurately evaluate the combat effectiveness of the magic mecha.

As a result, the army was weak and had to find another way. The Storm Kingdom, which always had a strong paranoia and tried every means to maintain its technological lead, started the actual combat of the magic mecha first.

Of course, the Storm Kingdom was going to replace its carrier-based aircraft with the Magic Mecha, which was a fact that could not be concealed, and had already spread throughout the Star Alliance.

Some countries were still watching, while others were gloating and waiting to see the joke, but for the big countries, since the Storm Kingdom wanted to equip its army, it meant that the Magic Mecha did have advantages, so they also started the technical verification work.

However, different countries have different technical routes, which leads to some differences in the results of verification.

The Red Maple Republic believes that the cost of an 18-meter-high magic mecha is higher than that of a carrier-based aircraft. Although it has strong capabilities, it is not suitable for large-scale military equipment. Therefore, their magic mecha has a 6-meter-high scaled-down version, which is mainly used by the police and armed police forces, or the ground army, as a squad-level support firepower.

The reaction of the Xuanshui Federation was even slower. When the war started, the magic mecha was only a technical verification project, and it was not really mass-produced at all.

And the equipment losses of both sides are still secondary to the war, and the loss of personnel is the most fatal.

After all, it is not the era of giving a gun to go to the battlefield. How to quickly replenish the pilots with great consumption and quickly form combat effectiveness is the most headache.

The magic mecha is easy to drive. It only takes ten minutes of training to drive it normally, and one week of training is enough to fill the line on the battlefield. His advantage in this aspect has become a great advantage in a long-term war.

It is not difficult to understand why the Red Maple Republic would buy a batch of magic mechas from the Storm Kingdom to fill the gap, and the Storm Kingdom certainly does not mind if someone buys their arms. While sharing the cost of replacing troops, it can also make a lot of money.

The attitude of the Storm Kingdom in this war is neutral, and it is not the kind of neutrality that does not help anyone, but the kind of neutrality that sells to anyone who asks me to buy things.

That is true, but it is also true that the appearance of the magic mecha has made the situation on the front line worse.
