Chapter 51: Supporting Suez (2)

The ambush at the entrance of the Red Sea is still continuing, but as the battle situation goes on, the Zaft army, as the ambush party, gradually falls into a situation of insufficient momentum.

This is caused by many factors. First, due to the prepared Suez offensive, Zaft did not draw too many troops to ambush.

Secondly, Zaft made a mistake in judging the combat power of Li Boyong's troops.

It’s not that I didn’t expect the number of MSs that Li Boyong’s fleet had. In fact, in terms of the number of MSs, the number of MSs Li Boyong’s troops was smaller than Zaft expected.

However, in terms of pilot quality, it exceeded Zaft's expectations.

After all, since the last war, adjusters have long been accustomed to extremely superior combat-loss ratios.

Even if natural persons later had MS, this advantage of war loss ratio still existed.

So this time, the Zaft army really did not expect that even the MS troops that had the upper hand in numbers would be at a disadvantage in the battle with Li Boyong's troops.

The elite pilots trained by phantom pain are definitely not inferior to ordinary Zaft pilots in terms of ability, and even have certain advantages.

Of course, another very important factor is the decisive combat power exerted by the numerous Gundams.

For example, the Abyss Gundam, which was separated from the beginning, faced the combat power of three Giogren and one Hidden mother alone, but it still had an absolute advantage, and even fell two Giogren in the battle.

If the Zaft army's secret mother had not seen the situation was not good, she turned around and retreated with the only remaining Gioghn, and she would have probably become the dead soul under Oulu's halberd.

That is, from the liberation of the combat power of the Abyss Gundam from the broken front, Olu turned around to support the White Whale troops that were almost unstoppable, and helped the White Whale troops to repel the Giogn troops in front. The combat power comparison of the entire ambush circle began to change.

The balance tilted towards the United side, and then Li Boyong led the Windham team to start attacking Pitley-level.

In order to deal with the raids of three Windhams, the escort combat power of the Pitley-class began to play a role, with two Baku cruising and harassing within the Pitley-class fire support range, while a shelling Zakur Ghost filled the gap in the Pitley-class fire network on Pitley's deck.

"You two planes are encircled around the left and right, don't go too far. Just help me share some firepower, and just leave the rest to me." Li Boyong issued an attack order, killing these combat powers, just to complete this mission.

Soon, two Windhams under Li Boyong began to surround the left and right, while attracting firepower, they used their maneuvers to pull the enemy's firepower net.

Li Boyong seized the opportunity and cut sharply into the Pitley-level firepower network.

The Pitley-class shelling Zakur Ghost soon noticed the "risky" Li Boyongji and pointed the muzzle of the double-headed dog beam cannon at the Windham driven by Li Boyong.

"Hehe, this is a bit exciting."

But Li Boyong seemed to have not seen it, and continued to maintain his current maneuvering trajectory approaching the Pitley level.

Soon, I felt confident that the artillery-shaped Zaku ghost that had hit the soul opened fire. A thick red ion beam was sprayed out from the muzzle and shot straight towards Li Boyong.

"avoid!"

When using the mental command, Li Boyong's driving was right-handed and sinking, almost avoiding the direct strike of the light beam.

Then Windham accelerated the dive, and used the power of the direction to lift as a buffer at the extreme distance, and drew out the beam sword and fell towards the shell-shaped Zagu ghost.

The pilot Zaft, who was driving the artillery-like Zakurian ghost, immediately reacted and naturally filled the second shot. He decisively abandoned the cannon and pulled out the beam axe.

Unfortunately, after all, Wendam, who was falling from the sky, cut off his right arm holding the axe and half of his shoulder armor.

Then Wendam, who fell on the deck, slashed the shell-shaped Zagu ghost who was trying to evacuate backwards.

A secondary cannon next to it was spinning and trying to aim the muzzle at Wendam who landed on the deck, but Li Boyong's reaction was faster. After falling into the enemy plane on the deck, he raised his left hand and fired a second-company missile built into the shield, destroying the secondary cannon.

At this point, due to the shooting problem, Pitley's level has no firepower that can threaten Li Boyong.

He controlled the fuselage and raised his hand toward the bridge, and jumped to destroy the Pitley-class main gun, then went around and destroyed Pitley's engine part.

The Pitley class gradually stopped, and explosions and fires continued to occur inside. The surviving officer Zaft saw that the situation was unrefusing and began to escape.

"It's in good condition, it seems that many friendly troops have died..."

"It's quite difficult to kill a warship without a ship-killing knife." After Li Boyong finished picking up Pitley, he complained and continued to pursue the two Bakus.

It took some time, and with the assistance of two other Windhams, he fell two more Bakus and successfully completed the mission.

At this time, when the Zaft army saw that things had come to this point, the ambush on Li Boyong's troops had failed and began to retreat one after another.

In response, Li Boyong issued an order to stop chasing.

After all, their main task at this stage is to support the Suez stronghold, and it is not a wise move to continue wasting time on the Red Sea.

After the war, Li Boyong's fleet began to count the results of the war.

In the joint efforts, three Gaziuts, two Bakus, one shelling-type Zakur Ghost, seven Gioguns, six Babis, three Deans, and one Pitley-class.

It can be said that the results of the battle are brilliant, but it also paid a considerable price.

The Windham formation was killed in four units. Except for Li Boyong, the rest of the bodies were damaged to varying degrees.

The white whale's troops were shot down by three units in the water with a dagger, and the remaining one was also in a state of great defeat. It can be said that the performance disadvantage of using a dagger in the water with a dagger was undoubtedly exposed in this battle.

The white whale troops were basically wiped out.

In addition, the warships also suffered considerable damage. Since the water battle was at a disadvantage at the beginning, the fleet was under considerable pressure.

One destroyer was sunk by Giogn's torpedo, and another cruiser was slightly injured and another cruiser was seriously injured and lost its ability to navigate.

Even the flagship Jones was unfortunately penetrated a MS attack deck by a stray bullet, losing some MS accessories.

As for pursuing the Lord Angel of the Leseps class, he did not achieve any ideal results, but instead destroyed a secondary cannon.

The commander of Leseps seemed to be prepared for the raid of the Lord Angel, and chose a terrain with many sand dunes in the terrain that was ambushed before the war.

It can be said that the landing point where the main firepower of the Lord Angel can only be aimed directly has been fully utilized, and it has gained a great advantage in artillery battles.

Coupled with the harassment of Baku, the main Angels, which were equipped with three Gundams, did not achieve any results.

Even after the Lord Angel was damaged, he had to watch the Zaft army leave calmly.

Li Boyong was not mentally prepared for such a result, but at that time he had to let the Lord Angels rise up, otherwise if he continued to let the Leseps class shoot calmly in the distance, it would be too threatening to the fleet.

But overall, Li Boyong's fleet can still achieve brilliant results in this battle.
