Chapter 307 The brief battle of the Gulf of Aden
ps:(Today's update, please subscribe~~)
Zaft's special MS body - Dean!
It was Zaft's side who descended from space to Earth and discovered that the cosmic war type ms of Gene was not very suitable for combat in the earth's environment and developed special for atmosphere combat!
Compared with the reference prototype Jean, Dean has obtained high speed, high maneuverability and not too weak firepower, the price is that the armor has dropped significantly, and this thing is not suitable for cosmic warfare. Of course, its initial design requirement is to adapt to the aerial combat environment of the earth, so it is not a big problem whether it can carry out cosmic warfare.
When Dean entered the battle, Dean, who had much more maneuverability than the Earth's combined atmosphere fighter, had much stronger survivability and his own firepower than the opponent, made a big name on the entire battlefield.
However...the two Zaft pilots driving Dean are now desperate to pinch Dean's designer's neck and roar wildly.
Damn, how much performance have you exaggerated? Didn't tmd say that Dean's maneuverability is much higher than that of the Earth United fighter? Didn't it mean that there is absolutely no fighter that can compare to Dean's flexibility? What is that on the other side? Is the ghost?...
Well, in front of Liu Qi, who was full of anger and wanted to vent his anger, the two Deans, who had just seen the figure of the Archangel, undoubtedly encountered a tragedy.
When Dean's radar discovered the Overlord in the Air, several energy beam cannons and machine cannons had already hit the two Deans! However, Liu Qi's mood was obviously so bad that he didn't plan to kill him with one blow, but first dismantled the opponent's weapons and equipment and slowly killed the opponent's mentality. When the two Deans lost the small missile launchers and automatic machine cannons on both arms, Liu Qi used them as living targets to fire and remove parts and other parts, but did not directly blow up the two disabled Deans, allowing the other party to try to escape but could not escape the desperate feeling of the Overlord in the Air.
When Mu drove the gunfighting Air King 1 aircraft, he saw a standard version of Air King igniting two broken and unarmed Deans, like a cat-playing mouse, fired a shot or swept a round of machine guns from time to time, but he didn't kill the other party immediately.
"Don't play with the machine No. 2! Get rid of the opponent quickly and come to the Archangel side. There are enemy mobile suits underwater!!"
Although Mu couldn't stand Liu Qi's actions that were similar to insulting the other soldiers, he also knew that his relationship with Liu Qi made Liu Qi not obey his dissuasion at all, so he directly connected the bridge of the Archangel and asked Bucky Lulu to deal with Liu Qi's problems.
"I understand! Come here right now!"
After saying this in an anxious tone by Bucky Lulu, Liu Qi, who had vented a lot of evil in his heart, directly expressed his understanding. Then, two guns were sent to two units to the scrap purchase station to be used as scrap iron treatment Dean was relieved. Then, the nose of the aircraft was adjusted, and the two air overlords flew directly towards the direction of the Archangel.
**********
Originally, according to the original plot, the Archangel should have been attracted by two air combat Deans this time, and then the two underwater special Guns went on a battle together to make the Archangel in a mess. Finally, relying on the strong attack on Gundam and went into the water to kill the two Guns, it was considered to be considered complete. The two air combat Deans are just used to attract the attention of the Archangel. Even if Zaft's side thinks they are awesome, they will not think that they can rely on two Deans to ko the Archangel. Otherwise, such a crisp Archangel can survive until now. How can you let the Kruze team, who chased from space to earth and the reimbursed Balterfield team?
However, although Liu Qi's extraordinary performance caused two restraining Deans to be killed directly, the two Guyns still caused trouble to the Archangel - of course it was just a trouble.
Although the Archangel, who only had to worry about the enemy under the water, had no choice but to take two Guyns for a while, the two Guyns who lost Dean's cover also had no choice but to take Angel. Gehn's predetermined target was the naval warship of the Earth. The torpedo and beam cannons equipped with were far less powerful than to threaten the new space warship. After losing the opportunity to cooperate with the two Deans to attack the Archangel in the air sea, the two Guyns also fell into a dilemma.
Because the situation of Archangel is not urgent, Gundam did not go into the water and venture into the water as in the original plot to play with Zaft's special underwater body. Now Gundam is standing on the deck of Archangel with a leisurely beam gun playing the game of gopher-if Gundam hadn't been fast enough in the water and Kira hadn't exploded, it would have probably become reefs in the water long ago.
The Zaft drivers in the two Guns are now in a dilemma. It feels unreliable to continue to attack the Archangel. They retreat without military orders and the result of being able to take action. They can only stay in a stalemate and play hide-and-seek game with Archangel.
When the two air overlords returned to the battle, the two Guns did not have to worry about whether they should continue to fight now. Liu Qi, who had mental sensing, used airborne missiles, beam cannons and machine cannons to baptize Gun's position with bullet rain, and then the beam cannons "coincidentally" turned the two Guns who played hide-and-seek into garbage in the water.
It is impossible for people on the Archangel to go into the water to search for Gehn's fragments and pull out the driver who has become dead to ask. They can only treat it as Liu Qi's luck and hit the other party twice when he was shooting at a low altitude. He cheered for this.
After receiving the bad news that the attacking troops were wiped out, Zaft's jelly ship wisely chose to retreat instead of continuing to fight - mainly because Zaft's commander underestimated the Archangel, thinking that two Deans and two Guns could kill each other. Now there is only one Dean and one Guns left on the jelly ship to protect themselves. This little power is enough for the diving jelly ship to protect itself, but if you want to continue the attack, you are simply delivering food to the other party.
After confirming that there were no enemies around, the two Air Overlords and the Raiders also began to land and enter Gnaku.
After venting it, Liu Qi, who was in a good mood, just jumped off the sky overlord when he was questioned by a young driver with a serious sense of justice.
"Mr. Liu Qi, don't you feel that it's too insulting the other party when dealing with those two Deans just now? Why not just destroy the other party in one go!!"
Kira looked at Liu Qi who was humming a small song and walked to the deck, standing in front of Liu Qi with a look of being a bad person, protesting.
Because the Archangel was not in danger just now, Kira didn't need to jump into the water to fight in the water, so she directly watched the whole process of Liu Qi slapping two poor Deans in the sky. So just after the battle ended, Kira, who had a serious sense of justice and sympathy, jumped out of the attack Gundam and protested to Liu Qi.
"...Kira, I was not in a good mood just now, so I might have gone too far, and I probably won't be there next time!"
When Kira was stimulated by the words, Liu Qi originally planned to let Kira look at her amazing things, but after seeing Bucky Lulu's figure appearing on the other side, he thought about it for a few seconds in his mind. Liu Qi temporarily put down the idea of koshering Kira directly and said calmly.
"Ah? Uh..."
Originally, Kira felt a little regretful when she spoke. After all, seeing Liu Qi's body is definitely not the same level as him. However, now seeing that Liu Qi actually accepted his opinion, Kira couldn't help but be stunned.
Of course, Kira definitely didn't know that Liu Qi was thinking about the idea of Qiu Hou to settle the accounts together, otherwise Kira would never be stunned and thought that Liu Qi was the kind of person who was easy to talk to.
**********
The Battle of the Gulf of Aden was the most smooth battle after the Archangel set out from Heliopolis. Even the Archangel ended the battle without even a few decent attacks from the enemy. It was so smooth that it could not be smoother.
However, the faces of the Archangel, from Mary to those logistics maintenance personnel, were extremely ugly, and they did not feel like they had just won a victory.
As for the reason... I just left the mouth of the Red Sea and encountered Zaft's attack, which is definitely not a good sign for everyone on the Archangel. The Red Sea is too narrow and not valued by Zaft and has not encountered enemy attacks. However, although the Gulf of Aden is also within Zaft's control circle, its control is not strong compared to the Indian Ocean!
But now I just entered the Gulf of Aden and encountered Zaft's attack. Although the enemy was eliminated... But what kind of "welcome" ceremony will you encounter Zaft when you enter the Indian Ocean later? It is really a bad future expectation!
Although the Archangel route is expected to encounter enemies when entering the Indian Ocean, no one expected to encounter enemies as soon as they left the Red Sea mouth and entered the Gulf of Aden!
Although the victory this time has inspired the morale of the members of the Archangel, will Zaft be easily defeated next time after experiencing this failure? Obviously, Maliu and others do not expect that Zaft's IQ is all the same as those stories of those brave fighters. The Demon King constantly sends soldiers to give the brave experience and level up to the leveling of the hero, but was finally the same IQ as the idiot who was kossed by the brave.
If the commander Zaft was so idiotic, the Earth Union would not have been beaten to the current appearance of defense and counterattack!
After the painful lesson of being completely wiped out by underestimating the enemy's attack, I believe that Zaft's lineup will definitely be much stronger next time the attack on the Archangel!
It is strange that the members of the Archangel were able to be happy in this situation, especially after leaving the Gulf of Aden, they did not encounter enemy attacks for two or three consecutive days, which made people feel more nervous. According to general combat common sense, the longer the enemy prepares after encountering a small setback, the more violent the next attack will be!
The Archangel couldn't help but keep the second level of combat ready to fight against the incoming Zaft at any time.

c.e. March 6, 71
When the Archangel was ready to wait for the battle for three days, he was still impatient when he couldn't wait for Zaft's attack.
In Zaft's Gibraltar base, Yizhak and Diaka, who left North Africa a few days ago, ran to Gibraltar base, finally met Aslan and Nigor who were in the downward battle from the plant. Of course, their squad commander, the white captain Lao Lu Kruze.
"Captain! Please make sure you let me chase the 'long legs'!!"
In a briefing room, Yitzhak looked excited. When he begged Cruze, the terrifying scar on his face shook from time to time, causing Aslan and Nigol who had just arrived at the earth to meet up.
"Yitzak, that injury..."
Aslan, who had just walked in, looked at Yizhak who seemed to be a little crazy and asked Diaka, who had just greeted him and Nigor.
"snort..."
When I heard Aslan ask about the scar on his face that represented shame, Yizhak snorted coldly and said nothing, while Diaka, as his friend, shrugged and did not explain.
"You guys are here... Yizhak left this scar because his injury was intact after the last time. He didn't seem to plan to remove this scar before defeating the attack Gundam..."
Kruze looked at Aslan and Nigol, smiled and explained the origin of Yizhak's scars.
“…”
Hearing this explanation, Aslan was silent. He didn't know what to say. Itzhak was his teammate, but Yizhak, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, would not obey his advice and no longer be an enemy of attacking Gundam. Kira's friends were on the new ship. Kira, who was driving attacking Gundam, would not turn to Zaft in order to protect his friends, let alone many Zaft soldiers died at the hands of Kira.
“…”
On the other hand, Yitzhak, who was picked up with a scar in his heart, looked dissatisfied. He can now describe the attack on Gundam and the Archangel as a harsh hatred.
The incident of chasing Heliopolis from the way to Earth without killing the attack on Gundam and Archangel made Yitzhak convinced him, not to mention that he had not had time to modify the Os data on Duel Gundam, and finally got harassed by those in the Dawn Desert because he was ordered by the Desert Tiger to retreat sadly.
Anyway, Izhak wishes he could drive the duel Gundam immediately to rush to the Archangel, and to dismantle the attack Gundam and Archangel into scrap iron to make it comfortable!
In fact, it was not just Yizhak, but Diaka's face was not very good. He remembered the scene of being harassed by two big flies in the desert... no, the big bees, and he also wanted to turn the fighter planes of the two Earth United Army into fireworks.
"The target enters Alaska with relevant data. This is definitely something we want to stop! But now that is the mission belonging to the Cabernalia base..."
Looking at the changing faces of Yizhak, Diaka and Aslan, Kruze said slowly.
"That's our mission! Captain!! I must kill that guy with my own hands!!"
After hearing his captain's words, Yitzhak jumped out and shouted with dissatisfaction.
"I think so too! Captain!"
After Yizhak fired the first shot first, Diaka, who was originally sitting in the chair, also stood up and asked Kruze for battle.
“Diaka…”
Seeing that Diaka, who had always been known for being nonsensical and sarcastic, also stood up to support Yizhak's suggestion. In addition to Yizhak who knew the inside story with him, even Kruze looked at him in surprise, but in the end, Nigor, who had the best popularity, spoke up and asked.
"I have also suffered a lot of shame..."
Diaka looked at the eyes of several people, turned his face and said calmly - he was really embarrassed to explain to his companions that he could not raise his head by two fighter jets of the Earth United Army. Just as Yitzhak would never talk about the fact that he was bullied by several sandy off-road vehicles because the Os data on the Duel Gundam were not adjusted properly, neither of them could afford to lose that person!
"Very good! I think so too, but because you have to carry out a new combat plan, I cannot continue to lead you. The pursuit of the target will be left to you four! I will ask the Kabentalia base to agree to your transition, and you will handle the matters afterwards! But you four reorganize the team... Let Aslan be the captain!"
Kruze looked at the four elites in front of him and began to say something that surprised the four of them.
"team leader?"
"team leader??"
The surprised Aslan and the surprised Yitzhak couldn't help but shout.
However, everyone's opinions were forcibly suppressed by Cruze, and the last four people could only prepare to transfer to the Cabernaya base through a transport plane tomorrow.
**********
The next day, not to mention how the new Sarah team at the Gibraltar base was preparing for a transition, the Archangel, who had just arrived in the Indian Ocean, finally waited for the long-lost enemy.
"Report! I found that San Dean flew towards us!!"
On the bridge of the Archangel, Sey first discovered the three Deans flying over and quickly reported to Mary.
"Three sonar signals were found underwater, and two of them were confirmed to be Zafft's special underwater MSG! There is also one model that is not clear, but it is certain that Zafft's special underwater MSG!"
At the same time, the sonar soldiers on the side of the sonar produced by Zaft, who had been in charge of the newly installed Archangel, also reported another news to the others in the bridge.
Unexpectedly, everyone in the bridge seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing these two bad news. Because after three days of nervousness, the enemy finally arrived, which made everyone who had been nervous for three days relax. Now it depends on how the Archangel faced Zaft's accumulated attack.
"Order: Air King and raid Gundam attack! Air King solves three submersible jellyships of Dean and Zaft as soon as possible, and attack Gundam and Archangel to guard against enemies in the water!!"
Maliu gave an order in the captain's seat.
“Yes!”*n
