Chapter 129 Don’t Let the Eighth Fleet Escape
When Mu heard the thunderous slogans, he felt like ten thousand alpacas were running wildly in his heart.
Of course there will be members of Blue Cosmos in the Eighth Fleet, after all, Halberdon belongs to the Atlantic Federation.
Then wouldn't it be reasonable for those high-ranking officials of the Atlantic Federation to add a little sand in the mix?
You know, more magical things than this have happened in history.
With Halberdun's ability, it is quite remarkable that he can control the overall situation of the Eighth Fleet.
Isn't it much better than having Brahmins in the army?
"Wang Hu!" It was not until this moment that Mu truly understood the master beside him and what he and Admiral Halberdon wanted to do.
"It's shameful. No, it's quite wise."
Mu was so impressed by Wang Hu and Halberton that he felt full of energy again.
However, Mu suddenly understood what was going on and was mentally prepared to sit on the bench after this game.
Cruze was not very satisfied because he saw that his son was countless times smarter than his good-for-nothing son.
"Dunkirk Evacuation!"
Cruze really wanted to curse. Could a fully equipped and manned fleet like the Eighth Fleet be lost just like that?
This is something that happened in history. Although the Dunkirk evacuation has been exaggerated by later generations, it represented an absolute shame at the time!
The 33-strong coalition force abandoned all their weapons and equipment and retreated to the island empty-handed. The fact is that this was an absolute failure!
I never expected that Wang Hu and Halberton would make the same decision here today.
Cruze really wanted to rush up to the two of them and ask them if they had any shame.
Do you still have any shame?
The strongest natural person in East Asia, and a wise general with a great reputation in the Allied Forces.
You decided on this strategy before the war started. You really have no shame at all, right?
"Captain Cruze, what does the enemy mean by this?"
Just when Cruze was getting angry, a tactless little brother came up to him.
Before going into battle, Isaac, who had prepared himself mentally for a fight to the death and who held the thought that he would die if he failed, asked.
"The other party wants to run away."
Taking several deep breaths, Cruze tried to suppress the irritation in his heart.
But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he shouted loudly in the army's internal communication.
"The enemy's Eighth Fleet intends to abandon all its weapons and equipment and take the escape pods to crash into the Earth's sphere. Don't give them the chance!"
"The enemies in front of you are just trying to delay time. Don't get entangled with them and just rush past them."
"Destroy the Eighth Fleet before the enemy retreats, even the escape pods!"
"What?" All the Adjuster soldiers including Isaac were shocked upon hearing the words of their Captain Cruze.
We're at war, how can someone still operate like this?
But before these confused adjuster soldiers could ask, Cruze called out the names of several soldiers who had been numbered before the war.
"P1 and P7 follow me, everyone else, play freely, and hit me hard!"
At this point, my purpose has failed. If that's the case!
With a stern face, Cruze led the carefully selected red elite soldiers, stared at Wang Hu who was driving the Z Gundam and rushed over, and pounced on him.
At the same time, Will, who was serving as the battleship commander in the rear, guessed what the Eighth Fleet was going to do without waiting for Cruze to give orders.
He also immediately led 11 warships and pressed forward, probably holding the same attitude as Cruze.
If everything goes smoothly today, your Eighth Fleet people will escape.
Then I'll just buy a bowl of noodles and hang myself on the spot.
Do you really think we are some idiots in history who will just watch you run away?
"Bastard!" The dragoon on Xigu Shenyi's back drew lightning, and Cruze in the cockpit spoke rapidly.
"P1, move to distance 700, ORANGE, 23MARK16, BRAVO!"
"P2, move to distance 346, INDIGO, 12MARK32, CHARLEY!"
"P3"
His brain was working at full speed, and Cruze's spatial perception ability was pushed to the limit at this moment!
"Is Lao Ke risking his life?"
Wang Hu in the Z Gundam cockpit watched as seven Xigus and Cruze rushed over, and he also paid 7% attention.
Holding the joystick firmly with both hands, Wang Hu looked back before engaging the enemy, and then rushed forward head-on.
"Wang Hu!" Cruze shouted, and under his control, the dragoons left a trail of afterimages in the airspace.
The beam of light was directly shot down, not trying to sink Wang Hu directly, which was too unrealistic.
But you must block Wang Hu's movement. As long as you prevent your opponent from running, you can create a real opportunity to shoot down the Z Gundam!
Concentrating and calming down, Wang Hu released his spatial perception ability. He knew very well how dangerous Cruze was at the moment, and he dared not be careless at all.
"The dragoons aren't the real danger, the danger is!"
In an instant, he determined Cruze's true killer move, but Wang Hu had no choice at this time. He had to cover the Eighth Fleet so that the members could retreat smoothly.
In this battle, he defined himself as a sitting duck!
Attract Cruze as bait to attract the enemy's elite MS!
Therefore, the Z Gundam simply did not take the beam shot by the enemy dragoon seriously!
"Boom boom boom."
The light beam hit the shield in the hand of Z Gundam, and Wang Hu just faced the light beam and went straight towards Cruze.
"P3!" He concentrated his mind highly, watching the Z Gundam charging towards him on the screen.
Cruze drew the beam sword from his waist, glanced at his subordinates who were in their positions, and said calmly, "Understood." The red elite named P3 answered in the communication.
Then the man moved to the side and bottom of the Z Gundam, and fired the bazooka on his shoulder to deal with the PS armor of the United Forces Gundam.
This time, all the warriors selected by Cruze are equipped with powerful heavy weapons!
As the old saying goes, there is nothing that a single RPG can't solve, and if there is, then just give it a few more!
PS armor is not a magical armor. It requires huge energy to be effective. Let's use this 900MM armor-piercing bullet to end the myth!
Trailing a long trail of smoke, the huge rocket was aimed at the still advancing Z Gundam.
"Huh?" Wang Hu glanced at the whistling rocket. It was very easy to dodge this kind of attack.
just
Looking up again, the all-round cockpit gave Wang Hu a wide field of vision.
So he clearly discovered that no matter where he went, Xigu was waiting for him!
"It feels like I'm not fighting with Cruze, but..."
With a complaint, Wang Hu suddenly stopped and fired the high-powered beam rifle in his hand.
After the light beam exploded the rocket, the Z Gundam drew its sword again and swiftly blocked a Siege that was looking for an opportunity to charge over.
He just kicked away this brave Xi Gu who dared to fight him in close combat.
Without taking a breath, Wang Hu was like a spinning top, moving left and right in the narrow space.
"Boom boom boom boom."
Continuous explosions sounded, and five or six balls of fire exploded in the universe.
With wave after wave of rockets and Xigu appearing from time to time, Cruze's tactics, which he had worked so hard on before the battle, began to show results.
"Yes, that's right." He had been suppressed by Wang Hu for a long time and had been repeatedly defeated by the opponent since he became a rising star.
Seeing that Wang Hu was truly suppressed this time, Cruze, who usually did not show his joy on his face, could not help but reveal a bit of craziness.
If, if we could shoot down Wang Hu here!
So what if the Eighth Fleet runs away!
Wang Hu's value is even greater than that of the entire Eighth Fleet!
"P7, get out of the way!" The dragoon was flying, and seeing hope and excitement in his heart, Cruze gave orders repeatedly in high spirits.
Just now, his dragoons stopped Wang Hu's surprise attack at the critical moment, and his order allowed a Xigu to avoid Wang Hu's sudden attack in time.
"P3P4 rush forward for close combat, P5P1 pay attention to positioning and provide support at all times."
Through his own efforts, he gradually gained the initiative on the battlefield.
In Cruze's eyes, Wang Hu was like a moth caught in a spider web.
Even though he still has the strength to struggle now, sooner or later he will be covered in the spider silk he spit out!
"Where is Brother Wang Hu?"
On the battlefield, Kira is fighting with his old rival Aslan, and both of them have activated their explosive mode, and the battle situation here is equally intense.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Kira inadvertently noticed the battle situation on Wang Hu's side, who was always omnipotent in his eyes.
He was actually at a disadvantage today, which made his heart skip a beat.
"Where are you looking at, Kira!"
Athrun seized the moment when Kira was distracted, roared, and took the opportunity to switch to MA form.
Immediately, a torrent of light beams flew over his head.
"Aslan." Kira's lifeless pupils shrank, and he quickly controlled the Strike Gundam to flash past.
He was just one step behind and then fell behind step by step. He was originally fighting back and forth with Aslan.
Because of this small distraction, the Strike Gundam was instantly suppressed by the Aegis Gundam.
However, the unfavorable situation of Kira and Wang Hu did buy the Eighth Fleet enough time.
"Admiral Halberdon, everyone is ready."
A man with a mustache under his bald nose on the flagship Menelaos walked up to Halberton and said.
Hearing this, they looked at the small number of Mobius, but under Mu's leadership, they miraculously did not collapse at the first blow of the Adjuster.
At this time, the Blue Cosmos members, whom they disliked, were still using the few battleships at the forefront as their positions, fighting against ZAFT's MS.
Halberton sighed. "Blue Cosmos? Hoffman, these people's fighting spirit is admirable."
Following the admiral's line of sight, Hoffman, the bald man with a mustache, also looked over.
"It's too late to say that now, Admiral."
He was obviously Halberdun's adjutant, but his words were clearly filled with resentment.
"Hahaha, yeah." Halbottom had no intention of pretending. After all, he was the one who pushed them out to die to buy time for the fleet.
Moreover, Hoffman next to him had raised objections to his strategy early on.
"History will prove in the future whether today's choice is correct." Halberton said with a smile.
"Hoffman, the army cannot fall into the hands of fanatical extremists."
"The supreme power of the United Army must not fall into the hands of an ambitious person with ulterior motives."
"We are not thugs raised by a certain privileged class. Defending the country and defending certain parasites are two different concepts!"
