The 21st century of gangsters everywhere

Chapter 31 030 Retreat
Twelve "Sledgehammer" ship-borne heavy anti-ship missiles were launched from the rear launch tube of the Archangel, and flew towards ZAFT's MS group under the relay guidance provided by Li Ping's Skymaster.

"Missile group, spread out!"

ZAFT's MS group quickly dispersed, Baku got down on the ground, and was driven by the tracks and jet engines, and left at a high speed.Desert Zeon activates the ejector and jumps into the distance.

Only the heavy shelling mobile suit Zaut stood up slowly amidst the driver's cursing roar, and started the jump procedure.

Then it was blown to the ground by the anti-ship missiles that fell one after another.Three Zauts were blown to pieces by a direct hit, one Baku was overturned by a near-miss bomb, the missile in the missile launch bay on the back was detonated, and the body was shattered, and one Jin En was blown off by a near-miss bomb. Rolling and falling in the desert.

"How could this be..." The Baku driver looked back at the tragic situation of his teammates in surprise.

"She should have used a heavy anti-ship missile named "Sledgehammer" just now?" Andrew Butterfield, known as the Desert Tiger, put down his binoculars, and his windbreaker was rustled by the storm generated by the missile explosion.

"It should be based on the power of the explosion." Martin da Costa, Butterfield's adjutant, lay on the ground and kept observing with a telescope.

"Only one fighter jet was dispatched? Do you remember that it was called Skymaster in the intelligence? Isn't the name too arrogant?" Then Butterfield saw the Skylord swooping down. Three beam rifles and two 57mm rapid-fire guns fired in turn. After seven or eight large holes were opened in a Baku, Baku exploded.Then it pulled up the nose again and drove away, leaving only a few 76mm armor-piercing bullets fired by Desert Jean, which could not even catch up with the wake of the Sky King.

"Retract the foreword, the firepower of that thing is domineering enough. Let the combat helicopter pin down the fighter jet, and the MS team attack the battleship. Da Costa, the battleship's main gun is ready to fire, and the reconnaissance plane takes off. I need to calibrate the fire."

"Understood, the battleship's main guns are ready to launch, and the observation plane is launched to provide firepower calibration."

"Missile alert?" Li Ping reflexively pushed the throttle to the bottom, accelerating away from the direction of the missile.He bowed his head and glanced at the omnidirectional radar scanning screen.

"Quantity four, size comparison, identify it as an infrared-guided missile of the ZAFT army...?" Pulled a 90-degree turn again, and after throwing a large number of heat bombs, the Skymaster turned and rushed towards the direction of the missile launch. .The active phased array radar on the nose instantly discovered the helicopter that was hurriedly hiding behind the sand dunes.

... By the way, is ZAFT so poor that in CE79, it is still reluctant to put invisible paint on the helicopter?Is it too much?

Four medium-range active radar, infrared, and optical composite guided air-to-air missiles were ejected from the magazine of the Skymaster, and flew towards ZAFT's helicopter with white smoke.One of them was accidentally shot down by the helicopter's cannon, and the remaining three hit the engine of the ZAFT helicopter firmly, blowing up the three helicopters into one... three balls of fire.

Four ZAFT infrared-guided missiles collided with the flame bombs and turned into four fireballs. Li Ping adjusted the nose slightly, aimed at the fourth helicopter, and pulled the trigger. The four 4mm cannons in the nose splashed out The curtain fell and the last helicopter was shot down.

"...you're the one who picks your feet." Li Ping moved the joystick to the left and rolled a bucket to avoid the fireball from the helicopter explosion. "Huh? Flash? Thunder?... Fuck, the Archangel, the flash of suspected shelling in the west, the distance is unknown, the number is at least 2."

"Rise up and avoid!" Captain Ramias immediately reacted and ordered loudly.Neumann pulled the... um steering wheel, and the Archangel's bottom engine fired with all its strength, quickly raising its altitude.

"Left rudder 35, full speed!" The main engine of the Archangel also started to spray, blowing a lot of sand and dust, and at the same time, it climbed and turned left.Ten seconds later, five large-caliber shells hit the position where the Archangel was parked just now.

"ZAFT's gunnery is good...can you infer the launch position in reverse?" Lieutenant Colonel Ramias glanced at the screen at hand, which showed the picture of the position where the Archangel stopped just now.

"According to Captain Li Ping's report time, the velocity and trajectory of the shell's tip, it can be inferred that the enemy's heavy artillery group is located behind the sand dunes 13 kilometers to the southwest."

"Fire anti-ship missiles in that direction to suppress the enemy's heavy artillery fire. The Archangel is heading east and retreats temporarily. Ask Captain Li to follow the trajectory of the Archangel and stay within the ship's fire circle."

"Retreat? Understood." Skylord dodged a Baku missile salvo, and returned his two small anti-ship missiles casually, blowing up that Baku to a hemiplegia.Then avoid the 76mm barrage of the two desert Jeans, use the beam cannon to smash one of them into half, climb up again, and enter the high altitude.

The Archangel's missile launch tubes were fully fired, and 24 sledgehammer anti-ship missiles flew into the distance with their wake.

"Alright." Li Ping set the accelerator to automatic, holding his trembling right hand with his left hand. "Niang Xipi is still too imaginary... Two not-so-excessive maneuvers turned out to be black-sighted and trembling."

The wings of the Archangel pulled out two faint condensed fog, and flew eastward.

"Da Costa, gather the remnants and treat the wounded. Let's retreat." Butterfield's binoculars kept staring at the trajectory of the missile.There was a flash of light below the horizon in the distance, and countless anti-aircraft shells with red trails were thrown into the sky.Then, only nine of them were intercepted, and the rest fell to the ground. The flames of the explosion faintly illuminated the side below the horizon. The most annoying thing was that the flames had not been completely dimmed for a long time. "By the way, I would like to ask about the casualties on the mothership side."

"Hey, hey... Don't paint the helicopter... I think it's a bully if I shoot it down, okay? Madoc's boss. At most, it can be counted as the damage of one MS shooting down two MSs, okay?"

"Two against one, I'll exchange two fighter jets for you to shoot down, fly out and shoot down something, don't let us apply a few more, our hands are itchy."

"... If you paint too much, you will be attacked when you see it from the opposite side." Li Ping was in a cold sweat...he had just recovered from the heat stroke and the two heavy overload maneuvers just now made him a little unsteady. "Did the enemy not pursue?"

"It seems that there are two reconnaissance planes hanging in the distance, but judging from the light of the explosion, the last wave of missiles should have hit the opponent's warship, and they probably won't be chasing after it for a while." Sergeant Maddock said. Helping Li Ping to walk to the infirmary with difficulty.

"By the way, Brother Madoc...can we change direction?"

"Where are you going? Why don't you go to the infirmary to rest in your physical condition?"

"I want to eat more now... I'm so hungry..." Li Ping felt his hands start shaking again...

This time I wasn't tired or weak, it was purely hypoglycemia caused by not eating seriously for too long.
