Chapter 129 Ceres Ambush(1/2)
"First level combat configuration for all members! Repeat, full members' level combat configuration for all members!"
Indoor room
The pilots who have lived from the celebration ceremony to the present are not the majority. Faced with the upcoming battle, the veterans were extremely nervous. The atmosphere in the house was very serious, and only the sounds of changing the driving uniforms could be heard.
"Boys!"
Roy Foca shouted loudly, successfully attracting everyone's attention
"Everyone knows that this battle will be very intense, right?"
Silent, just nodding, representing the fact that
"Since that's the case, let's work harder! Look at yourself, you are dejected and don't look like you are going to the battlefield at all!"
"Captain, we..."
"It's not too late to say what I want to say after I'm going to say. I have nothing to say. Remember: Come back alive."
Everyone stood up and saluted Roy Foka. He nodded, put on his helmet and walked out of the locker room
"Hurry up!"
Hangar, exclusive VF1 front of Lilya
"Lilya, can you not participate in this battle today?"
"Why?"
"Your skills need to be improved. The opponent has too many troops, I'm afraid..."
"It's fine"
Miya Yuriya hugged Beiyu and said softly
"I chose to get on the fighter plane just to catch up with you. I don't regret it."
"...I understand. You must follow me when the war begins."
"Um"
According to information, since the edge defense line was broken, Batzan's fleet did not directly perform super-time and space-saving methods, but instead broke through the arranged defense line one by one.
The outer solar system defense fleet was defeated, and less than 20% of the fleet survived death. It retreated to the Ghanimed Base, which was established before Bulet, and was hidden in the asteroid belt.
Today is the third day of war. Macross barely arrived at the asteroid belt before the basic fleet broke through Uranus orbit at its maximum speed, and successfully joined the remnants of the fleet.
Both sides thought at the same time: the next battle will be launched in the asteroid belt
After taking over the fleet, Captain Grofoe thought for a moment and immediately directed the fleet to Ceres, which was one of the combat plans they had discussed before.
Ceres is the smallest and only dwarf planet in the solar system, located in the asteroid belt, with a diameter of about 950 kilometers and densely packed with gravel and floating ice. It is perfect for hiding the fleet.
The combat plan this time is to first send carrier-based aircraft troops by Macross and other zenith star warships to attack while attracting one of the fleets into the asteroid belt. Macross locks the opponent's flagship and launches the main gun bombardment.
In this way, as Exido said, if the flagship is sunk, the other combat ships of the branch fleet will automatically retreat; at present, the basic fleet has more than 4.5 million warships, and losing one-third of its troops will reduce the pressure a lot.
After the Macross is deformed and installed, the staff immediately cleared out two channels for VF1 to launch.
“Catapult stand by,cleared for take off!”
“Roger”
VF-UX was pushed onto the launch pad. At Beiyu's request, all the missiles suspended under the wings were replaced with reactive bombs, and two rows of missile cabinets were installed on the fuselage.
Pushing the joystick, the tail engine sprayed a dazzling white flame, and the electromagnetic catapult pushed it, taking the fighter off the deck
"Beiyu, I'm in charge of two squadrons, you're okay with one?"
"yes!"
Roy Foca has just recovered from a serious illness, but his operating skills have not retreated at all. He shakes the joystick and presses the pedal, and the VF1S flexibly shuttles through the gravels, and the team members following behind are amazed.
Valkyrie team's joint combat bag troops attack from the right side of the branch fleet, with the main purpose of reasoning for those pioneer light combat ships
Through over-visual detection, dense red dots can be seen from the radar.
Roy Foca did not hesitate to open the glass cover on the joystick, pressed the launch button, and the four hanging reaction bombs left the weapon stand and rushed towards the automatically locked target.
"Commander Batzan"
"What's wrong?"
"Enemy attacks branch fleet from the right"
Bartzan waved his hand, his tone full of disdain
"No need to worry, their lack of troops will fight us, let the branch fleet solve it themselves."
"yes!"
Seeing the dense fleet, Beiyu turned on the communicator
"Everyone follows the order and starts attacking now, and invites the enemy to have a big meal of reaction and ammunition!"
"receive!"
The battle officially began, and the attacking troops arrived at the designated area immediately poured firepower to the enemy fleet, and the killing of the vanguard troops were caught off guard.
"The first wave of attacks, annihilated 1,145 enemy ships!"
Upon hearing the good news, Captain Grofos' tense nerves relaxed a little, and he nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay! Let the combat troops engage in a temptation to fight after the second round of attacks"
“Yes Sir!”
The enemy soon sent a combat bag troops, and Beiyu specifically picked the gap between the opponent's launch and fired reaction bombs at the launch port of the warship.
The second round of attack did not achieve the expected effect, mainly because of the blockade of the enemy's combat bag troops and the artillery attack of heavy warships, only a few fighter jets were able to break through the firepower network.
There are combat bags in front and back, Beiyu pulls up the nose, and the engine jet takes the fighter to a higher position. He slides the joystick, and the fighter becomes the Guardian form.
The first time Beiyu made a cobra maneuver, Kae Yuriya, who was following behind, would think of his thoughts, locked the battle bag in front, and pulled the trigger; she didn't have to worry about the battle bag in the rear, just leave it to Beiyu to solve the problem.
The third wave of attack was five and a half minutes later than expected. After all the fighters launched the loaded reaction bombs, they turned the direction and entered the asteroid belt again.
Bartzan had said before that it would be enough to leave this kind of thing to the branch fleet to handle it themselves.
Adhering to Batzan's idea, the captain of the branch fleet ordered the fleet to turn direction into the asteroid belt, and vowed to completely annihilate the combat troops.
This happened to be the plan of Captain Grofoe
It is not easy to go, but it is even more difficult to return. It is necessary to avoid the gravel in front of you and pay attention to the attacks of the enemy behind you. It is very difficult for people with average skills.
Some fighter planes were not hit during battle, but were flying accidents when luring the enemy into depth.
"The loss rate of the combat troops is 35%, and the plan to lure the enemy is being implemented!"
"Okay, the main gun is ready to be fired"
"Yes, the main gun is ready to fire!"
The barrels on both shoulders under the Macross robot form slowly flipped downwards at 90 degrees.
The hull has been adjusted subtly, and the main gun rays are directly facing the opponent's fleet.
The main gun began to charge, and the red energy visible to the naked eye gathered at the muzzle
"The main gun is ready to be fired! Please avoid the battle troops located on the ray axis!"

Captain Grofoe counted five numbers silently and spoke slowly
"Main gun fire"
Macross Cannon, launched, and the asteroids and gravels blocked on the ray axis instantly evaporated into the powerful energy wave, and the same was true for the warships that came into contact with the main gun.
The Pioneer Fleet and Heavy Battleship were cleared out, and the asteroid belt seemed to be cut, and an extremely empty area appeared.
"Captain Hayase, order all troops to assault and take the opponent's flagship directly!"
"yes!"
The combined fleet received the order, the warships were fully powered, took off from the surface of Ceres, and flew to the enemy's warship at full speed.
At this point, the other party understood the intention of one side of the earth and hurriedly dispatched ships from the rear to protect the
This is the third wave of attacks by the combat troops, cooperating with the warships to strike the enemy; with the protection of Macross, the pilots no longer worry about their lives and rushed to the enemy fleet again in one go
On the other hand, the enemy is now surrounded by the fleet being dispatched in the rear, and the front is extremely empty, and the commander can already think of his own fate.
"Quick! Let the light combat ships in the rear be faster..."
"Enemy troops, break into the warship!"
