In the Suez offensive and defensive battle in the next few days, just as Li Boyong expected, the ZAFT army adopted a fighting method that focused on pulling and attrition.
Generally speaking, Baku went up to sell them, and then Baku came out and bombarded them with ships. After the bombardment, Baku rushed with other mobile suits, which was quite the style of the era of queuing and shooting.
If Suez dispatches air combat troops, ZAFT's air force will also arrive as scheduled.
In this way, after several days of attrition, both the ground and air combat on the United side gradually fell into decline. If it were not for the strong support of Li Boyong's elite force, the situation would have worsened.
But even so, the United defense line has been suppressed to the intersection of the two river valleys.
Compared with the original defense of two narrow valleys, it is more difficult to defend only one valley now, because the area that needs to be defended is too wide compared to the original.
The battle entered the fifth day, and Li Boyong felt that the friendly forces were almost unable to hold on.
Then, ZAFT should be almost ready to launch a general offensive.
In the past few days, he had reserved a lot of energy when assisting in defense, waiting to find opportunities for combat during ZAFT's general attack. The target he wanted to attack was naturally hiding in the rear from the beginning of this offensive and defensive battle. ZAFT warship group.
Sure enough, after today's routine probing and pulling, the second wave of the ZAFT army's offensive was particularly fierce. Baku, which was originally so wretched, suddenly became indomitable.
Behind Baku were a large number of Gates R and a small number of Zaku Warriors. Under the cover of Ghaziut's firepower, these aircraft followed Baku and launched a charge.
For a moment, the joint defense line seemed a little shaky, but there were also many loopholes in the ZAFT army's formation.
Li Boyong saw some opportunities. If he could launch an attack with several Gundams under his command, he would definitely achieve good results.
"MS team is ready..."
Just when Li Boyong was about to lead the raid, the radar operator shouted in surprise: "ZAFT military aircraft were spotted at three o'clock, Barby 3 and Dean 5, flying towards Port Said."
"Port Said?" Li Boyong clicked his tongue, "The Lord Angel retreats, we return to defend Port Said."
This move is a bit beautiful. It seems that the commander on the opposite side has not forgotten his own unit. At the critical moment, he came to the rescue with a move that is sure to attack the enemy.
It seems that the conservative operations in the past few days have made the other side see that they will not risk their lives for the Suez defenders.
"But, this side of the stronghold?"
The captain of the Lord Angel hesitated.
"It doesn't matter. Our department has independent command authority. Now we should give priority to preserving the fleet in the port." Li Boyong replied, "Now that ZAFT's air force has gone to the port, the liberated air combat daggers can help stabilize the defense line for a period of time."
"Yes!" The captain took the order and began to issue specific instructions.
Soon, the Main Angel turned around and left.
"What? The Lord Angel withdraws from the battle line?"
The movements of the Archangel were naturally observed by the Suez stronghold headquarters. The commander looked very angry, "These damn phantom pains only care about themselves."
"Commander is angry, this is not a bad thing for us. Now that ZAFT's air force has gone to the port, the air combat dagger L unit can also be dispatched here to stabilize the situation." The adjutant on the side quickly reminded his commander dutifully. , commanding operations is the key now, let’s talk about accountability after the war.
However, the other party is the phantom pain. If the headquarters is willing to scold the other party without any pain, it will be a huge favor to the commander.
"Very good, let's dispatch the air combat troops here to suppress the offensive on the other side." The commander came back to his senses and ordered.
Soon, the attack channel hidden in the mountain was opened, and the air combat dagger L troops attacked one after another.
With the assistance of the air combat dagger L unit, the United side was able to stabilize the defense line with great reluctance.
In Port Said, the Archangel returned to the defense in time and returned to Port Said before the ZAFT army arrived.
Facing the stern Port Said, the ZAFT air combat MS team did not launch a strong attack, but chose to fly around. Obviously their purpose was to contain Li Boyong's troops here.
In fact, in terms of combat power, it is unreasonable that so much of Li Boyong's combat power is contained here.
But now he cherishes this direct force of his. He has already lost one destroyer and seven mobile suits. If it suffers any further losses, he will feel a little distressed.
Anyway, the system didn't send out any tasks. Li Boyong's mentality was as stable as an old dog's and he had no motivation at all.
Moreover, this stronghold will have to be taken out by the Minerva sooner or later. Even if he fails to hold it this time, it will not be a big deal.
With this mentality, Li Boyong was willing to be restrained at the port.
However, he still tricked the ZAFT army into blocking the abyss and the blue, and quietly sneaked over.
"First Evolution"
Then several air combat aircraft began to be voluntarily walked by the ZAFT army. When the opportunity came, two underwater Gundams in place suddenly surfaced, and a burst of fire attacked the ZAFT army.
Li Boyong swarmed up with several air combat aircraft and steadily captured this ZAFT army. Anyway, he did not lose in this wave.
At this time, the attack and defense on the frontal battlefield also came to an end.
ZAFT's army's general offensive failed to capture the coalition's final line of defense.
At the critical moment, the stronghold's positron cannon was successfully in place, and repelled the ZAFT army's offensive with one shot.
Seeing that there was nothing they could do, the ZAFT army retreated, which made the commander of the joint stronghold quite uncomfortable.
Although he successfully held the stronghold, until the positron fort was successfully completed and put into operation, no ZAFT would be able to pass through this valley in the future.
However, in the offensive and defensive battles in the past few days, he was too exhausted by the ZAFT army. As a defender, he suffered an ugly battle-loss ratio, and he was depressed after winning.
On the other hand, the ZAFT army actually still had the strength to launch another attack, but the commander very rationally chose to slow down for a while.
The reason why he was still so calm even though he had not captured the Suez stronghold was because the commander in white had received new news. Minerva, which had set out from the Carpantaria base, had completed supplies at the Makhmur military port and had Sent by corps headquarters to support the Suez offensive.
He could completely wait for the Minerva to arrive before launching another offensive.
Until then, all that is needed is for the men to get supplies and rest.
As for Li Boyong, after obtaining sufficient supplies, he led the fleet to leave Port Said and enter the Mediterranean Sea.
At the same time, a city in Western Europe.
Wang Liumei's private plane landed slowly at an airport. Dressed in a conspicuous cheongsam, she was escorted by a group of bodyguards, got into a motorcade, and headed straight to a hotel in the city.
