Chapter 21 Orb defeated
Among the flagships of the 4th Fleet of the United Army outside Aubu, senior officials of the United Army who were responsible for commanding this combat mission were gathered to review the reasons for the failure of the landing war before the review. ([] )
Lieutenant General Hannibal, the main general of this military operation, heard that Aubu defeated the weapons used by the landing troops before, and it was his own equipment that canceled the order. He immediately did not hide it and cursed: "This group of short-sighted politicians... they really want to send them all to the military court! Such equipment has not been purchased to equip the troops. Now our troops are facing the attack of such weapons at this moment.
Tell me, what can we do now to break through Aubu’s defense? If other forces in the world learn that our joint army cannot even Ob defeat him, it will be a serious blow to morale. It will be dangerous to fight Zaft later."
Unexpectedly, Aubu got those new weapons because he did not buy them. When he thought that the politicians suffered such serious losses due to certain interests, Lieutenant General Hannibal, as an old soldier, was immediately furious.
However, as the supreme commander of this unit, Lieutenant General Hannibal had to come up with the best plan for the next battle. After all, Aubu had to fight anyway. After all, Kaguya's mass accelerator is really important to the current joint army.
An officer with the rank of colonel suddenly pointed to the steel tanks photographed by the reconnaissance plane and said, "General! The reason why our previous landing troops were defeated by Aubu is mainly because of the long-range suppression of firepower used by the steel tanks and other weapons. After all, the assault speed of these weapons on the ground is too fast.
Moreover, the ability of the strong attack dagger to operate on the ground is still insufficient, and it is impossible to quickly break through the defense line of the mobile suits of Aubu's side, so it is suppressed and attacked by the enemy's long-range firepower.
If we can quickly break through the enemy's defense line, those long-range firepower of Aubu should not be able to pose such an unscrupulous threat to subsequent landing forces."
Lieutenant General Hannibal touched the thick white beard on his chin, and then spoke in a deep voice: "Col. Have you thought of any good idea? If so, then tell me now."
Seeing that the lieutenant general and his colleagues were looking at him, the colonel immediately spoke in his calmest tone: "In fact, to break through the defense of Aubu's mobile suits, we just need to use the same equipment.
The newly-engraved 9th Division in Africa is equipped with a large number of RTX-440 land-fighting raided steel tanks. They are the ground armor elites who are constantly fighting fiercely with Zaft's mobile suits.
With the powerful assault ability of these steel tanks, we can definitely tear Aubu's defense line unexpectedly. At the same time, our army's other high-cost Gundam bodies can also be put into Taoist battles at one time. In this way, the enemy will not be able to withstand anyway!"
Lieutenant General Hannibal immediately stared at Kaguya Island in Aubu, and ordered in a decisive tone: "Immediately ask the military headquarters to drop the 9th Division in Africa to reinforce our landing operation, and they must meet with the fleet tomorrow anyway.
At the same time, I was required to concentrate all the Gundam bodies in various places, which were still in the experimental stage, and devote themselves to the battle to attack Aubu. After all, no matter how good the weapon is, it must be attacked by our military and used as a test in actual combat."
"Yes!" The officers of the United Army who received the order immediately began to pass the orders of Lieutenant General Hannibal at the fastest speed.
After receiving the request from the front line commander, the Joint Army General Staff quickly agreed to Lieutenant General Hannibal's request based on the situation on the battlefield.
Immediately, in Africa, when it was originally planned to attack Zaft, the Ninth Mechanized Division at Gibraltar Base was immediately airlifted towards Aubu.
At the same time, the small batch of high-performance experimental bodies within the joint army were also airlifted to the location of the Fourth Fleet as fast as possible after receiving the order.
.........
At about 10 a.m. the next morning, the United Army, which had been resting overnight, launched the second large-scale landing operation towards Aubu again.
Under the cover of the Fourth Fleet's firepower, Aubu's counterattack firepower was suppressed again. Obviously, the gap in strength between the two sides was still quite obvious.
Just as the fierce firepower of the Fourth Fleet of the United Army desperately suppressed Aubu's attack, more than 20 large landing craft rushed to the booked landing location of Kaguya Island under the cover of artillery fire.
Among the large landing ships of the United Army, Major Morgan Shubaliai is known as the "Rabies Under the Moon".
This steel tank equipped with a large-caliber electromagnetic gun was accompanied by Morgan's battle in Africa for almost a year. Under the fuselage of the installed outer armor, there were many signs of breaking the number.
The number of Zaft ms destroyed under the guns of this steel tank has reached fifty-seven, which makes Morgan the veritable number one ace driver in the Federal Army.
Morgan was actually a little disgusted with the sudden mobilization of their armored troops that were preparing to attack Zaft Gibraltar Fortress and came to Ob to directly carry out the landing battle.
The reason is that during Aubu's landing war, the United Army encountered the attacks of Aubu's steel tanks and another type of artillery warfare mobile armor. The mass-produced mobile suits of these United aircraft were unable to break through Aubu's defense line in ground warfare.
Therefore, the commanders of these joint army thought of sending the Ninth Mechanized Division to open a passage for those attacking daggers.
Looking at the enemy's intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance plane in the cab screen, Morgan took out a Havana cigar, and then opened the communication system and cursed directly: "These bastards from the military purchasing department were originally supposed to be new weapons of our army, but in order to produce the raided daggers on a large scale, the procurement plan for these weapons was reduced. Now I finally know the severity of the consequences..."
Morgan's remarks were immediately unanimously agreed by the subordinates of the Ninth Division, and the voices of agreement were heard. They were very dissatisfied with the military's reduction of their troops' weapons and equipment.
Immediately afterwards, one of Morgan's subordinates asked through the communicator: "Captain, is our next battle as it did when we dealt with Zaft?"
In the battlefield in Africa, facing this high-performance Zaft mobile suit, the Ninth Division has formulated a very effective tactical method, which has caused Zaft's troops to suffer repeated setbacks.
After Morgan put the cigar in his hand into the pocket of his uniform, he put on his special helmet and smiled: "Hahaha... The opponent this time is the rookies of Aubu, so we don't have to get too entangled with the enemy. There is only one task in this battle, that is, to directly tear open the Aubu's defense line and then advance towards the inland area.
The other things will be left to those strong attacking daggers to solve. This time the air supremacy is in our hands, so young men! Everyone will run for me at that time."
At this moment, another subordinate said a very destructive sentence: "Captain...I...I'm a little seasick...I feel really unhappy..."
In fact, Morgan didn't feel very good at this moment. After all, the main combat location of the 9th Division was in the desert area, so most of the troops were still very uncomfortable with the bumpy sea. He immediately said, "Just hold on for a while, don't vomit in the cabin now. I want to remind you in advance. Aubu also has a lot of steel tanks, so don't be careless!"
At this time, a landing order suddenly sounded among the landing ship: "Please note that the landing ship will forcibly land on the beach in three minutes. Please prepare for battle. Other staff members will now start leaving the landing cabin.
After hearing the order, Morgan immediately spoke to his subordinates: "Young men, please cheer me up. I'll invite everyone to drink after the battle!"
"Understand!" "Boss, I'm waiting for your words!"
For a moment, various shouts immediately sounded one after another. The landing ship was less than one hundred meters away from the coastline.
............
Just when the United Army used fierce firepower to suppress Aubu's counterattack power, Aubu's mobile suits formulated corresponding plans based on yesterday's combat experience.
After Aubu's mobile suit troops who were preparing to wait for the joint aircraft landed, he attracted the opponent to a certain distance. He then sent his own troops to fight with the enemy, making the joint army's firepower advantage unable to be exerted.
As the landing ship of the United Army rushed to the beach and opened the huge landing cabin. After a sound of heavy armored vehicles starting, a group of land war attacked steel tanks at the next moment, rushed out of the cabin at the highest speed and rushed directly towards the beach.
Obviously, Aubu did not expect that the first batch of landing forces of the joint army this time were not the previous strong attack dagger, but a large number of land-type steel tanks.
So in a short time, the steel tanks in assault form immediately arrived at the Aubus defense line and continued to penetrate deeper into the interior.
In front of them were those steel tank troops rushing around. The heretics of Aubu, Gundam, had to appear from hidden places in advance to resist the enemy advancing at high speed.
These steel tanks of the Ninth Mechanized Division rushed towards the Aubu Army's leaping zone in assault formations at high speed. Just as the heretics kept firing and blocking their shooting, they were first greeted by dense rocket bombardment like rainstorms.
In an instant, the heretics of Aubu were shrouded in the explosion, and the ground was completely covered by thick smoke and dust.
Just as the explosion caused the dust to disappear, a series of electromagnetic cannons shot again at the mobile suits who were lucky enough not to be destroyed by the Rockets. They were directly hit and exploded, becoming charred scrap iron on the ground.
At the same time, the dense barrage of large-caliber machine guns also shot out of the dust. He immediately shot some of the heresy Gundam, who was still standing, and was directly hit by Mars all over his body, and poured heavily on the ground with thick smoke.
Immediately afterwards, a group of high-speed assault steel tanks rushed out and advanced at high speed while firing ahead.
The steel tank troops that were attacking with all their might had no stop when they rushed through the area they had just attacked. Instead, they directly used their highest speed to kill to the depths of the Aubu defense line.
Because these mobile weapons move very quickly, the large-caliber shells on Aubu's side were not too late to hit these steel tanks.
I saw that while the steel tank troops were advancing, a heretic Gundam could not dodge and was immediately knocked to the ground by an assault steel tank.
Then before the heresy got up, another steel tank appeared on the side used the flamethrower on his hands to ignite the body. Then a huge explosion broke out.
On the other side, a steel tank even rushed directly onto a Heretic Gundam and forcibly crushed it. With its own weight, it forced the enemy plane to change shape.
However, when the 9th Mechanized Division of the United Army successfully rushed to the depths of Aubu, they finally encountered some decent opponents, and Aubu's steel tank troops rushed over from the opposite side at a high speed.
For a moment, both sides opened fire at the same time and rushed towards each other at high speed. The current scene suddenly seemed to have returned to the old century. During World War II, the Kursk Battle on the Soviet-German battlefield was the largest tank encounter in the world and the most brilliant and dazzling battle between the armored soldiers.
At this moment, on Aubu's land, the 250 steel tanks of the 9th Mechanized Division of the United Army and 180 steel tanks of Aubu's side launched an unprecedented slamming between heavy mobile armor.
Morgan, who was driving a steel tank, was leading the troops in a very excited moment and shouted to his subordinates: "Hahahaha... boys, kill these Aubu troops on the opposite side to let them know who is the real king of land... Today our 9th Division is destined to be famous in history... and rush..."
As Morgan ordered the steel tank troops of the United Army immediately rushed towards the Aubu Army in an experienced formation. For a moment, in the depths of Aubu's defense line, the sound of artillery fire from heavy mobile armor on both sides and explosions after the body was hit. The rolling smoke continued to rise and fall on the battlefield. The slowly rising was quite eye-catching.
This special battle was also clearly seen by the command system of the United Army and Aubu on both sides through the reconnaissance plane. Both sides were immediately excited by the fierce scene. Steel tanks were constantly chasing each other at high speed in the battlefield, and then directly fired and bombarded at close range.
From time to time, steel tanks were hit by the body, and then a terrifying explosion broke out, becoming a pile of wreckage on the ground.
Although the steel tank model of Aubu is relatively new, the steel tanks of the 9th Division of the United Army have been improved after fierce actual combat, so the physical performance of the two sides is not much different.
So in this battle, the winner was the technical, cooperation and luck of the steel tank driver. Obviously, Aubu's soldiers were still unable to compete with the Ninth Division, which often competed with the Zaft ground army.
The steel tank drivers of the United Army often played an important role at the most critical moments by relying on the experience of fighting the life and death of Zaft mobile suits in the African battlefield. They often cooperated with each other and quickly eliminated the surrounding steel tanks of Aubu.
On the battlefield, I saw several steel tanks rushing and using their weapons to fire violently. But the next moment, a big explosion occurred on their fuselage, becoming a pile of scrap iron that kept rolling.
Not far from these just destroyed steel tanks, an Aubu steel tank with black smoke destroyed half of its body crashed into the body of the joint aircraft regardless of everything, and immediately made a huge collision sound.
After more than ten minutes of fierce competition, Aubu's steel tank troops were completely defeated. After winning the battle, the United Army's steel tank troops immediately continued to move forward at high speed deep into the Aubu defense line ahead.
In this battlefield where the battle had just fought fiercely, more than 200 destroyed steel tanks fell to the ground in a row.
Among the flagships of the Joint Fleet, senior officers of the Joint Fleet heard the long-awaited report: "The 9th Mechanized Division attacked the frontal defense line of the Ober Army and is now approaching the inland area."
Lieutenant General Hannibal immediately stood up, waved his hand with an emotional big hand and said, "Good guy! The 9th Mechanized Division is worthy of being the elite force of the Eurasian Union. He ordered the subsequent mobile suit troops to use the gaps opened by the steel tank troops as breakthrough points to capture Aubu and end the battle in one fell swoop."
At this moment, the airborne troops of the United Army began to airdrop again. A large number of strong attack daggers immediately landed in the passage opened by the steel tanks. Then they quickly continued to advance towards the depth of the Aubu defense line, and Aubu's defense line immediately became precarious.
At this time, although Aubu's ymt-05 fighting wolf used artillery attacks to suppress the attack of the joint army, the enemy's vanguard had already entered their shooting blind spot.
The steel tanks immediately began to clear the vertex towards these big guys who had fixed positions.
As the steel tank is in the form of artillery warfare, the ymt-05 fighting wolf is destroyed one by one, it threatens the joint army.
This time, Aubu's greatest help, Liberty Gundam and the Justice Gundam that followed, were besieged by three latest bodies of the United Army. Therefore, it was impossible to effectively help the ground battle.
At the same time, around the other coastlines of Aubu, a group of joint troops Gat-x255 Forbidden Blue sneaked into the port and began to attack Aubu's defense from the side. They immediately caught the port. Those heretics caught them off guard.
In the attack sequence of gat-x255 Forbidden Blue, a gat/a-01e2 Storm Dagger equipped with the same artillery war equipment of Storm Gundam is using fierce firepower to continuously destroy the Aubu army in the port one by one.
Just after the Aubu army at the port was defeated under the surprise attack of this joint army, a large landing ship immediately landed at this port. Immediately, a group of gat-01d long swords equipped with external armor began to walk off the landing ship. Then, using their shoulders to fix cannons and 8-company missile launchers, attacking the Aubu army's defense line.
At this moment, he led the Heresy Gundam to resist the attack of the joint army on the front battlefield. At this moment, he finally encountered a dangerous enemy.
A gat-x133 sword equipped with two large ship-cutting knives was cutting melons and vegetables, and fell to the ground with a scattered and scattered sword.
The United Army, under the guidance of this Gundam, began to launch a fierce attack on the Aubus' defense line.
After seeing this situation, ms-18e Jingbaofan immediately faced the gat-x133 sword equipment disaster Gundam, and the two sides immediately started a fierce battle. Suddenly, a fierce collision broke out between the huge battleship sword and the hard iron fist.
Every time the gat-x133 sword equipment-type disaster Gundam's huge ship-cut knife is a slight difference in the fuselage of the ms-18e Jingbaofan.
And when ms-18e Jing Baofan's iron fist was about to hit the sword and fight the disaster, he was forcibly forced to open by a huge ship-killing sword that returned to defense in time.
Obviously, the pilots of Jianzhan Gundam and Jing Baofan were both very powerful in driving skills. Therefore, this short battle did not determine the outcome, but was obviously in a stalemate.
As fierce attacks from the United Army continued to appear, the Aubu army finally could no longer support it. The surviving mobile suits began to retreat one after another.
Obviously, the strength of the two sides is really different, and they are not in the same level at all. The joint aircraft's offensive is too powerful, and Aubu is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of troops and combat experience.
The Aub army's greatest reliance is the Liberty Gundam and Justice Gundam with advanced performance. Facing the new Gundam with a large number of combined aircraft, there was no way to retreat.
As a result, the war in the end was exactly the same as the original plot. Aubu's Asha representative self-destructed the mass accelerator located in Kaguya Island, and Shuguang Industrial Group was also directly detonated by the company's employees.
Chapter completed!
