Tiger keenly felt the changes in the attack, and a premonition in his heart soon became a reality.
The clumsy attack suddenly became more flexible. He no longer fell into the sand when he jumped up and landed, and his shooting became more accurate.
Even in the face of the siege of four Baku, they did not fall behind at all.
Such changes made the pilots of Baku, who had been unable to attack for a long time, become impatient.
One of them, Baku, was too aggressive and was knocked to the ground by a powerful attack.
"Don't be too aggressive. Stop using the PS armor first as planned."
Upon seeing this, Tiger alerted the pilots on the front line on the tactical channel.
The ZAFT army, which lost one Baku, calmed down under Tiger's command.
The Bakus continued to use the characteristics of high maneuverability to continuously consume the energy of the attack, and the armed helicopter units that had withdrawn before began to use the cover of the sand dunes to conduct sneak attacks.
This kind of guerrilla warfare is very annoying. It's a little bit like you advance and I retreat, and you retreat and I advance. Li Boyong is very aware of the sharpness of this kind of warfare, so he doesn't make any aggressive moves and just waits patiently for the real opportunity.
Li Boyong also tried to deal with the ZAFT army's armed helicopter group. These guys who were coming and going on the verge of life and death were quite annoying.
However, as soon as he reveals this intention, Baku will start to focus his fire on him, forcing him to turn away.
Tsk, Tiger's subordinates have quite a lot of combat experience, and they can still maintain this kind of tacit understanding in mobile warfare.
On the other side, Uncle Mu piloted the Air King and suppressed the Baku that first appeared. However, the pilots of the ZAFT Army were not useless. They began to use high maneuverability to move around, and occasionally used the sand dunes. Cover and counterattack.
"Tell me, Lessebius, don't stop the bombardment. It doesn't matter even if you are found by the Archangel. The opponent's weapons can't reach there in this terrain, just open fire."
Seeing that the Baku team that had high hopes could not open up the situation, Tiger temporarily changed its tactical goals.
The Barut Field team's mothership, Reesebus, has been hiding on the back of a sand dune 20 kilometers away. Using the data sent back from Baku on the front line, it used its main guns to continuously cover and bombard the location of the Archangel.
"Damn it, this can't go on like this!"
The changes in the battle situation made Mu decisively abandon Baku during the battle, and turned to follow the trajectory of the bombardment to find the enemy's mothership.
Although Uncle Mu quickly discovered the location of the enemy's rear mothership, he soon discovered that the enemy's location was well hidden and the Archangel's beam weapon could not reach it.
The two Zauts and a bunch of anti-aircraft artillery on the deck of Lessebuse frustrated Mu's two attempts to dive and attack the main gun turret.
For a time, the Archangel, which was under continuous bombardment, was in danger.
"I swear to protect her!"
Seeing the situation on the Archangel and thinking of Fleur who was still in the room waiting for her to go back, Kira directly exploded with the power of SEED.
Assault leaped high, attracting a Baku to jump up with him.
The powerful attack hammered the Baku onto the artillery track, and Recebus's main gun directly destroyed the Baku.
The rest of the shells fired from Lessebus continued to fly towards the Archangel. The attack turned around and used the industry fire pulse cannon to destroy all the shells before they were about to hit the Archangel.
Tiger, who was observing secretly, began to doubt the authenticity of the intelligence. "Is this really something that a natural person can do?"
When Kira's magical operation shocked the entire battlefield, Li Boyong also found his opportunity.
The Baku, which had been suppressed by Mu before, rushed towards the attack when Mu turned to search for the enemy mothership.
In Li Boyong's eyes, this Baku was like a lone wolf that had escaped from the pack. He did not miss this opportunity to shoot down the opponent.
A sudden and extremely determined dive attack caught all the ZAFT troops by surprise, and the excellent angle prevented Baku from counterattacking. The precise shooting did not give the attacking Baku a chance to dodge. Although the continuous hits of the beam gun and missiles failed to directly destroy Baku, they also caused the opponent to lose its mobility.
After succeeding, Li Boyong did not hold back, quickly climbed up and turned back to support the attack, and informed the Archangel of the location of Baku.
"Bearing 15.4.65, enemy Baku has lost mobility."
"Understood, Baliante, launch!"
Baki Lulu, who was commanding the operation in CIC, did not miss this opportunity and destroyed the Baku with the Baliant electromagnetic gun.
At this point, ZAFT forces only have two Baku and a group of armed helicopters still fighting.
The change in the battle situation was beyond the expectations of the ZAFT army. Adjutant Dagusta asked Tiger: "Captain, do you want to retreat first?"
Tiger stared at the information on the assault in his hand, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Instruct Reesebus to continue the bombardment to contain the Archangel. The armed helicopters will cover Baku and move up to attack the assault. The PS armor should be ineffective soon."
Gritting his teeth, the tiger added: "I have a bad feeling. If I don't kill it here, I will suffer a lot in the future."
"Understood!" Dagusta nodded and conveyed the order to his subordinates.
Tiger's judgment was very accurate, although Li Boyong, who returned to the defense, shot down two ZAFT army helicopter gunships.
However, the remaining armed helicopters still covered Baku and carried out the attack. After Baku got close to the attack, the Archangel was afraid of accidental damage and had to stop providing fire support.
Ignoring Li Boyong's interference, Baku and the armed helicopters poured all their firepower into the attack. After successive rocket hits, the PS armor of the attack failed.
After the artillery attack lost energy, it was flanked by two Bakus, and basically lost its ability to fight. The situation was very critical.
Here, Li Boyong finished taking care of all the armed helicopters, but found that the ammunition was basically exhausted, and it seemed difficult to rescue the attack.
Let me go, Tiger is trying to break up the attack. Why is this battle still so dangerous? Why don't those resistance groups come?
While he was complaining, an armed convoy suddenly appeared from behind the sand dunes in the southeast. This convoy quickly approached the battlefield and began to support the attack.
"finally come."
Li Boyong on the Air King breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the armed convoy retreated outside the battlefield with the attack, as if it wanted to protect the attack from being destroyed by Baku.
The two Baku pilots got excited and followed them.
Seeing that they were about to shoot down the attack, how could they let go of their prey? What use would the resistance organization's armed vehicles have to Baku?
Baku, who underestimated the enemy, was suddenly attacked and led into a trap that the resistance organization had laid long ago, an underground abandoned gas mine where explosives were placed.
Debris from Baku was scattered in the explosion as a mushroom cloud rose and lit up the desert night sky.
At this point, Andrew Barutfield's team's first tentative attack on the Archangel ended in complete defeat.
