Chapter 524 Hunting time!

After leaving the base, the eight Gundam Astrays advanced at high speed towards the front of the defense line. The propulsion backpacks used in space had been dismantled and replaced with special equipment for land combat.

The large nozzles on the legs allow the Gundam Astray to maintain floating maneuvers on the ground. The backpack has no balance wings and nozzles, but a large box, which carries a large amount of supplies and weapons and ammunition.

After the backpack is unfolded, it can also open a new camouflage cloth, which can change color according to the local environment, playing a role of hiding and lurking. At the same time, this camouflage cloth will become hard after being stimulated by electric current, and has good defense.

At the same time, because the supplies in the backpack have a lot of ammunition, the armor of the backpack has been strengthened, and there are two auxiliary mechanical arms with two faces of cards for protection.

The Fort Romfilo machine gave up the heavy two-gun Gatling Vulcan cannon shield attack system and replaced it with a two-handed Gatling Vulcan cannon, with a belt directly connected to the backpack. His body has the greatest demand for live ammunition, so his backpack is full of ammunition.

Russ Ksell is still a Super Mega Cannon. In order to maintain output and safety considerations, the backpack is equipped with a second energy source and an enhanced cooling system. In order to prevent the danger of the gun body overheating and self-destruction together with the body, the Super Mega Cannon is connected to the backpack instead of the body. If the gun body overheats, the Super Mega Cannon and the backpack can be directly discarded.

George Miguel continues to hold a 230MM cannon to provide heavy firepower support, and the backpack is also equipped with a large number of shells.

Travis Kakuland replaced the beam rifle with a 200MM rocket launcher. Although the caliber is much smaller than the rocket launcher used by Zaku II, it is lighter, has more ammunition, and has less recoil. Of course, the beam rifle is not abandoned, but hung on the side of the box; at the same time, his body is the only one of the 9 machines equipped with auxiliary detection equipment, and it is also the eyes and ears of the whole team.

Blog Karl and Fred Reber removed a lot of heavy armor, reducing weight as much as possible to improve the mobility of the machine. They gave up the beam rifle and replaced the arms with two small shields. However, these two shields are attack shield systems. The nozzles at the front and both sides can release beam blades, and can also launch ejection attacks, which are then recovered by steel cables.

Yang Hui, Jung, and Kashima Yu's weapons remain unchanged. In addition to carrying more supplies in their backpacks, they also have a moderate amount of energy magazines.

After advancing for a distance, the team entered a forest and stopped.

"Major, where are we going now?"

"Spread out and hide where we are."

"Are you going to ambush?"

"Yes, this is the only way for the Zeon army to attack."

"Got it."

"Heretics 4 and 5 occupy the commanding heights on the left, Heretics 6 and 7 are 10 kilometers to the right rear, Heretics 2 and 3 are 1 kilometer to the left wing, and Heretics 8 and 9 are 1 kilometer to the right wing."

(I always write people's names for fear of being accused of being too wordy or unprofessional, so here's the code name. Yang Hui is naturally No. 1, Jung is No. 2, Kashima Yong is No. 3, Russ Ksell is No. 4, Fort. Romfilo 5, George Miguel 6, Travis Kakuland 7, Blog Carl 8, Fred Leiber 9. )

"Understood!" X8

"Remember, don't move the first batch of enemy planes you see, they must be reconnaissance troops, let them pass, our target is the main force behind, this time everyone, cheer up, if anyone fails again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes... yes!" X8

The nine Gundam Astrays immediately dispersed, went to their respective positions, unfolded the camouflage cloth of the backpack, hid themselves, and then the body entered silent state.

"Rus, do you think the Zeon army will really come?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll be serious this time."

"You weren't serious last time?"

"Uh... I'll be tough!"

"Hehe, remember not to block my beam this time. If my hand shakes, we'll both be finished."

"Tsk, no need to remind me."

...

In silence, everyone was nervous, but also extremely expectant. They had lost face last time, and they were forced to learn from their mistakes and wanted to show off their prestige and fame this time, and make up for their lost face!

Moreover, this time they were facing the main force of Zeon. Although it was dangerous, it was also a huge achievement. If they succeeded, they would be rich and prosperous, but if they failed... I guess they would be dead, so I won't say anything.

Until the next day, when it was dawn, the boring and tense waiting was finally broken.

"Clang~clang~clang~..."

"Here they come!"

There was no need for radar system detection. The vibration of the ground and the sound of the mechanical giant stepping on the ground told them that the Zeon reconnaissance force was coming.

At this time, they were even more nervous. This was the first time they used this equipment. They wondered if they could trick Zeon's reconnaissance troops.

Soon after, three green bald-eyed dragons came into their sight. They stopped and started, and their scarlet eyes swam around aimlessly, looking for something.

There were also more than a dozen Dopp fighters patrolling in the sky, looking for enemies who might or might not exist.

"Don't find me... Don't find me..." Everyone was silently expecting, and even held their breath, afraid that they would be discovered by Zeon's reconnaissance troops because of their breathing.

"Huh? The Minovsky particle concentration here..." Walking to the center of the encirclement, a Zaku II suddenly stopped, and the driver noticed something abnormal.

"Any questions?"

"Well... Minovsky particles have been scattered here, and the concentration is very light, but Minovsky particles should not appear in this location. It is still some distance from the federal army's defense line."

"Did it come from other places?"

"possible."

"With such a weak concentration, it may be that the federal army is trying to spread suspicion, deliberately delaying our advance."

"Is there such a thing?" X2

"Of course! Think about it, we are executing a blitzkrieg. We need to occupy the Middle East and Odessa at lightning speed and open up the battlefield on earth. Isn't it true that the Federation uses this method to delay our steps? More time to prepare the defense?”

"Awesome!" X2

"Hehe, I'm not boasting. If I hadn't made some mistakes back then, I would be your commander now."

"Pfft~ Okay! Since there's no problem, let's go. The federal defense line is ahead."

"Alright alright."

When Zaku II stopped, everyone's hearts tightened, but seeing that they only stayed for a while and found nothing, they continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, and they relaxed after walking out of their encirclement. Take a breath.

"I was scared to death! My heart almost jumped out of my chest just now!"

"me too……"

"Quiet, there's Dopp spinning above your head, don't show your weakness at this time."

"learn."

After waiting for about half an hour, the sun's brilliance has shone on the earth. From the other end of the horizon, there is a loud roar. After a closer look, more and more black spots appear on the horizon, and then getting bigger.

"coming!"

"As expected of Zeon's main force, this size..."

"Three [Daboud-class] ships, twelve [Gallup-class] ships, 36 Zaku IIs, a large number of Dopp fighters and Majera tanks, and there should be Zaku IIs in the [Gallup-class] There is no attack, the worst plan is to load 36 units..."

"Afraid?" Yang Hui asked.

"A bit..." everyone replied.

The credit of being able to take down the main force is indeed tempting, but they only have 9 Heretic Gundams. Not to mention battleships, fighter planes and tanks, even the number of enemy mobile suits is at least 4 times theirs. This number and scale are still They will be scared if they are newbies.

"Then don't move once the war starts, and surrender immediately after I die?" Yang Hui continued to provoke.

"Who wants to surrender!? And the Major! Don't say such unlucky words!"

"This is called reverse FLAG!"

"Huh!? Is there such an operation? I learned it, I learned it!" X8

Excitement and fun go hand in hand, dispelling a lot of nervousness and fear, and at the same time strengthening their confidence.

"Enough chatter. Use the [Daboud-class] as the standard. After entering the ambush circle, start the attack. No. 4 and No. 6. Your target is only fifteen land battleships. Don't worry about the others."

"Understood!" X2

"No. 5, No. 7, protect No. 4 and No. 6, and be careful of harassment by Dopp fighter planes."

"Understood!" X2

"No. 2, No. 3, No. 8, No. 9, intersperse left and right, keep moving and don't stop, disrupt the enemy's formation."

"Understood!" X4

"So everyone..." After assigning tasks to everyone, the Zaku II at the front had already stepped into the ambush circle with one foot, and the Dopp fighter jets in the sky were already hovering above their heads. In less than a few minutes, The time was stretched infinitely, and it felt like decades had passed.

Finally, as a standard [Daboud-class] land battleship entered the ambush circle, Yang Hui had a ferocious smile on his face: "...the hunting begins!"

There was no verbal answer, but the most direct action to answer Yang Hui.

A thick pink beam of light erupted from the steep slope, and like a torrent, the Zaku II and Majela chariots along the road were suddenly energized. Their power was not reduced, and they continued to move forward, penetrating the two [Gallup-class] land battleships.

Being attacked suddenly, the Zeon army was confused for a moment. They never expected to be ambushed here.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Under the power of the Super Mega Cannon, trees were burned, the ground was burned into magma, and the [Gallup-class] warship with a large hole melted exploded violently, with flames shooting into the sky, debris flying, and thick smoke billowing.

"Enemy attack!"

"Why are there enemies here? Are all the reconnaissance troops eating shit!?"

"Fight back! Fight back quickly!"

"enemy……"

"Boom boom boom boom..."

After a brief daze, the Zeon army immediately regrouped and organized a counterattack. However, before they had time to restore their complete formation, they received "Justice" like falling from the sky. 230MM cannon shells fell from the sky, raining judgment on Zeon. Three [Gallup-class] battleships were directly hit, with constant flames and continuous explosions. The Zaku II, which had just opened its hatch and prepared to attack, was swallowed up by the flames before it could jump out.

"Direction 2 o'clock! Enemy artillery position!"

"The previous attack was from the 8 o'clock direction!"

"Main gun turns, target..."

"Click rub rub..."
