Chapter 174 Are we still experiencing the MS war?

"Ha, with fortifications like these you've actually been reduced to asking for tactical guidance?"

After the adjuster soldiers who were divided into two parts and were responsible for retaking the cliff pass arrived at their respective destinations.

The soldiers who came to support were all pointing to the well-equipped fortifications at the distant pass.

The one who asked with squinted eyes was the soldier who was retreating from the pass.

The sarcasm and mockery in his tone was basically right in his face.

"I!"

If you talk back, you have to spit back. The soldiers who retreated at the pass were not made of dough.

They were already angry, so they were certainly not good guys.

But you must have reasons and evidence to respond, otherwise you will become a shrew cursing in the street.

It’s not that it can’t be done, it’s just that we are all regulators and not stupid natural persons.

Adjusters are sometimes very shameless internally.

however……

The defeated soldiers like King and Gates looked at the scene in front of them which was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Everyone opened their mouths but could not speak.

There is no way, even though these places like checkpoints and fortresses were originally built by natural persons.

But haven't they already occupied it?

So it is impossible for them to say that they are unfamiliar, but the sense of unfamiliarity comes from...

The trenches built against the mountain are stacked up one after another, and the numerous shooting points are distributed on the top of the mountain after careful calculation.

The shooting points were connected by trenches that ran at a 90-degree angle.

Without having to see it in person, the adjuster soldiers could guess that it must be equipped with command posts, supply stations, and observation posts.

Since MS is humanoid, trench warfare, which is part of human warfare history, will definitely be useful.

Since it is an enlarged version of a humanoid weapon, why do we have to stand up and shoot rigidly?
Or a close-range bayonet fight?
Don't forget that the predecessor of MS is engineering machinery. In this case, the East Asian Army will not let go of traditional civil engineering operations.

In a short period of time, the East Asian Rems threw their heads down and worked hard, using the engineer shovels they carried with them.

On the position that had just been recaptured from the adjusters, trenches that were large enough to provide shelter were miraculously dug, stretching for thousands of miles like those during World War I.

After all, humans still have to consider the environment, but machines don’t.

"Asshole, that wasn't the case just now!"

The Adjuster soldier who was withdrawing from the position in front of him roared in frustration.

Pointing at the seemingly empty and silent trench ahead, the Adjuster soldier was still arguing while jumping up and down.

"With this level of fortification, how could we possibly lose to the naturals?"

"OK OK."

Immediately, a kind-hearted adjuster soldier came forward to mediate.

"No matter what the situation is, our goal is to retake the position and secure a retreat for the friendly forces attacking the Alaska Joint Forces Base."

"We can't let stupid natural people join us. Let's fight them first."

After some negotiation, they adjusted the soldiers' formation angrily.

This was probably because in the previous battle with the Allied Forces, the Allied Forces' firepower was weak and could not penetrate the armor of the ZAFT Army's MS.

Therefore, out of inertia of thinking, senior officials of the ZAFT military rarely equip their soldiers with shields.

Therefore, the adjuster soldiers who are now preparing to launch an attack will suffer the first round of consequences.

Looking at the quiet East Asian Army positions in front of them, all the adjuster soldiers present knew that once they launched the attack.

There will definitely be an attack from a wave as powerful as the rising tide of the Qiantang River.

"How?"

The adjuster soldiers who volunteered to be the vanguard and stood in the first row were full of courage, but they did not want to die for no reason.

"My Gates does have a shield, but it's not enough, right?"

The red elite Adjuster driving the Gate said hesitantly.

"How about we also learn the attack methods of the East Asian Army?"

The Adjuster soldier who had retreated from the battlefield called up the video recorded in his machine and gave this advice.

"it is good."

After watching the video, the adjuster soldiers in the vanguard army unanimously agreed that they could learn the fighting style of the stupid natural man.

What belongs to others is ours, and what belongs to me is still ours.

All the vanguard adjusters who were standing in a long line behind the shield gates did not consider anything.

Or it could be said that it was selective amnesia, a point that was not mentioned.

That is, they have never done any relevant training, and have never used such a method of infantry-tank advancement.

Do the adjusters really know how to play?
As expected, when the Adjuster Vanguard actually began to advance, there were many problems and a lot of jokes were made.

If it weren't for the different speeds, Gates in front was pushed by King behind him.

After a while, due to lack of coordination, several MSs suddenly tripped over each other.

"damn it!"

Before they had walked far, some impatient adjusters became angry and cursed their friendly forces and the enemy forces.

Scolding friendly forces is like calling them stupid. Don’t they even have this level of synchronization?
Scolding the enemy is to call them bad. A good MS battle should be like a fight for territory between the Vitality Clubs, the fight is about who is more ruthless.

This is how we fought before, but you, the East Asian Army, caused so many troubles as soon as you appeared on the scene.

After cursing for a while, he couldn't help but lose his temper, but he was also proud of his own superb skills.

Some of the Adjuster soldiers broke away from the formation and rushed forward headfirst.

The idea is that as long as you are fast enough and brave enough, natural people's bullets will not be able to hit you!
but
Yes, it was you Adjusters who set the precedent by bringing engineering robots to the battlefield.

However, as for military strategy and warfare, when the Western world was still fighting each other, the East had already figured out the secrets of large-scale military combat.

MS is a new thing for our army. Although you may not be familiar with it, all you have to do is change your way of thinking.

We are familiar with war!
The East Asian Army trenches on the hilltop, which were silent in the previous second, were filled with the sound of thousands of gunshots in the next second.

Facing the ZAFT MS charging straight at them, it was no more difficult for Rem of the East Asian Army than shooting at a humanoid target. The beam rifles attacked like rain, and the high-explosive grenades on her waist were like hail.

The overwhelming East Asian army successfully taught the Adjuster soldiers what it meant to have corpses everywhere.

Piles of ZAFT army's Jinn remains paved a blood-stained road.

"Damn you, evil natural people!"

Stepping on the corpses of friendly soldiers, it was Gates, a new machine created by the Adjuster by absorbing the Gundam technology of the United Army.

They rushed out from the sea of ​​blood and corpses in scattered groups, and the Gates were only one step away!
They can charge into the trenches of cowardly natural men so that they can learn the courage of regulators.

"Keep working hard and let the natural people know what a real MS battle is!"

An elite adjuster waved his arm and could see the enemy Rem with only his head sticking out.

They were very excited.

"Oh!"

The soldier was responded by the others' excited roars with red eyes.

"Hey, is that Ganon Rem in the back?"

"Yes, yes, this is position 4, preset coordinates A34A35 area, saturation coverage attack."

Stay calm and face the enemy MS Gates that is about to attack you.

In the cockpit of the East Asian Army's Rem command type in the trench, the sergeant made a call to the artillery position in the rear.

"Okay, I'll give you two more rounds."

After receiving the communication from the friendly forces at the front line, the sergeant of Ganonrem in the rear agreed politely.

He is not afraid of having too much ammunition, he is only afraid of having no ammunition.

"Guys, carry up all the cannons and show our infantry brothers in front how powerful our artillery company is!"

Following Sergeant Cannon Rem's words, the 240mm cannon was carried up by the even more excited East Asian soldiers.

Towards the preset coordinates, the Cannon Rems were divided into three batches and began to fire continuously.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom, boom boom boom."

The bombardment turned into a large-scale, roaring and rhythmic symphony.

One after another, huge shells crossed the mountains and hit the East Asian Army's MS Rem in the trenches.

In the end, not a few of them fell on the head of Gates who was charging forward and was only ten steps away from the trench.

"Artillery attack!"

Sharp and shrill cries came from the mouth of every Adjuster soldier.

The second and third waves of adjuster soldiers in the distance were fine, they were safe after all.

They even had time to swallow their saliva as they watched the mud splash and crackle everywhere.

But Gates and the other Kings who were within the range of the bombardment did not have such a good ending.

Shields can block attacks from beam weapons, but they cannot block cannon shells that carry huge kinetic energy.

Under this kind of firepower, even a Gundam with PS armor would be in great pain.

Then the twisted shield danced along with all kinds of broken arms and legs, and the MS whose head was smashed into its body fell down in an instant.

Endless soil that flew up to the sky fell down with a clatter, and everything seemed to have returned to the primitive past when there were no plants.

"They're finished."

The pupils in his eyes kept focusing as he watched the shells continue to fall with a deafening roar.

The adjuster soldiers in the rear were considering whether or not to continue charging.

Why is the East Asian Army's bombardment different from the Atlantic Federation's bombardment?

Could it be that the Atlantic Federal Procurement Department took too many kickbacks?
Or is it that the gun barrels of his East Asian Army are thick and big enough?
"Extend the artillery coverage!"

He also received an order from Sergeant Ream of the Middle East Army in the front trench, and shouted to the cannon Sergeant Ream in the rear, who was very happy.

It’s good to fire cannons, the more the better.

"Hey, do you guys feel anything different?"

Looking at the seemingly endless bombardment, an intelligent Adjuster soldier asked.

"I feel something is wrong too."

After being reminded of this, many adjuster soldiers came to their senses.

It seems, as if, the East Asian Army's artillery fire is getting closer and closer to us?

"Are you idiots? Of course we're getting closer and their bombardment is extending over us!"

A wall of artillery fire gradually extended to the adjuster soldiers in the rear.

Slowly and steadily, at a fixed frequency and speed, plowing the land inch by inch.

"Retreat first, and we'll come back when their artillery fire stops."

The adjuster soldier who was unwilling to take the bullets on the spot immediately suggested.

"it is good."

Following suit, the army of adjusters consisting of King and Gates retreated in large strides.

"By the way, have you noticed that those drone attack aircraft that are as annoying as flies have disappeared?"

Another meticulous Adjuster soldier asked.

"Really? Where did it go?"

Since the East Asian Army's MS units officially debuted, drone attack aircraft no longer tormented them.

"Why do you care about that now?"

The remaining impatient Adjuster soldiers didn't want to recall those annoying flies.

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an explosion suddenly sounded among the large group of Adjuster MS.

"Landmines! Landmines!"
