Macross Empire

The native inhabitants of the world of "Gundam SEED" who were present at the scene didn't even realize the slightest resentment towards their commander Layla. Howe fired without hesitation and notified the warships of other formations to fire.

As a result, in just a few seconds, the newly established First Fleet of the United Earth Space Forces used 500MM triple-mounted high-energy beam main guns (Gale-class battleship main guns), 300MM triple-mounted (Nelson II-class) or double-mounted ( Drake II) main guns, heavy anti-ship missiles and other firepower cut through the space without hesitation.

In the face of this terrifying firepower, the ZAFT army, which had been confused by the three Gundams and Bigelows, had almost no resistance. More than [-] improved Lorasia-class space battleships and three Nazca-class space battleships The battleship was destroyed by the large force field shield during this wave of offensive, and either turned into a ball of fire or suffered heavy damage, and the three-digit Zaku I-type mobile suit and the driver were also in the beam of light blasted by the ship's cannon. Be beaten into a ball of fireworks!

Similarly, it is not that the ZAFT army, which is now caught in the melee on the battlefield, is not thinking of fighting back, but when the scattered main guns of the improved Lorasia-class space battleships and Nascar-class battleships bombarded the battleships of the First Fleet, it was just An unlucky Drake II space battleship was inadvertently destroyed by the ZAFT army's energy shield and was blown up. The other Drake II and Nelson II space battleships fluctuated a few times at most. , and the most solid Gale-class space battleship, not to mention, did not pay attention to such scattered attacks at all.

After seeing this situation, the United Earth Space Force, which was already under pressure on the battlefield, became even more imposing. Those space battleships and MA clusters that had lost more than half of their losses quickly began to compete with the first-ranked commanders under the leadership of the middle and high-level commanders. The fleet cooperated with the attacking three Gundams and Bigelow clusters, and began to launch a counterattack against the ZAFT army on the battlefield, preparing to entangle the ZAFT army already trapped in the battlefield...

……

On the other side, on the Nazca-class command ship of the ZAFT army this time, the supreme commander of the ZAFT army also saw the dangerous situation on the battlefield, and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

"Order, all space battleships and mobile suits in the battlefield retreat quickly! The reserve team is ready to respond and retreat!!"

Seeing that the ZAFT army was about to collapse completely on the light screen, a gloomy color flashed in the eyes of the ZAFT supreme commander, and then he gave the order to the communications sergeant to retreat the fleet without hesitation.

This decision is not easy to make, because he was the one who failed in the ZAFT army's command of Yakin Duwei's battle last time.It can be said that if the "Battle on the Moon" fails and suffers heavy losses, he is lucky to be picked up by the ZAFT army, and it is possible to go to a military court!

However, this ZAFT commander also understands that the current situation on the battlefield is that the ZAFT army has shown signs of defeat. If it does not evacuate quickly at this time, the army that has gathered more than [-]% of the ZAFT space army is likely to suffer heavy losses. , retreating now can barely guarantee that most of the main force will not be devastated...

"Yes! Sir!" *N.

Listening to the orders given by the Supreme Commander, the communications officers in the NASCAR flagship responded one after another, and then began to notify the ZAFT army, which was now at a disadvantage, on the battlefield.

Subsequently, under the order of the supreme commander of the ZAFT army, the ZAFT army, which had left one-third of its troops before it had time to enter the battlefield, desperately stepped forward and opened fire to cover the comrades on the battlefield.And the ZAFT army on the battlefield, after receiving the retreat order, mustered Yu Yong to frantically try to open a retreat!

To the surprise of both sides, the First Fleet of the United Earth Space Force, except for the main guns and missiles pouring firepower from time to time, slowly headed towards the battlefield.As a result, when the First Fleet joined the battlefield, the ZAFT army, which was caught in the melee, had successfully broken through at a high price, while the remaining ZAFT army space battleships and Zaku I-type mobile suits had already fallen into the battlefield too deeply and The airframe and hull are damaged and cannot escape!

In the ensuing battle, under the order of the supreme commander of the ZAFT army, some Zaku I and space battleships were destroyed and captured by the follow-up United Earth Space Force after the pursuit of ZAFT. The two sides broke away from the battle line after more than ten hours...

……

On July 70nd, CE7, the war between the United Earth Cosmic Army and the ZAFT Army, known as the "Battle on the Moon", came to an end!

The specific situation of this "Battle on the Moon" was announced and "explained" after the propaganda department of the Earth Alliance and the battlefield video were studied by PLANT, and the doubts of both the ZAFT Army and the Earth Alliance Space Force were clarified.

In the promotion and video, the Gale-class space battleship and some Drake II and Nelson II space battleships are in an unfinished state.Even the commander of the ZAFT army "suddenly realized" why the First Universe Fleet did not enter the battlefield in time and did not appear before seeing the hastily painted parts of the hull on the video.

However, in this "Battle on the Moon", both the ZAFT army that took the initiative to attack and the Earth United Space Army that attacked defensively, both sides paid a heavy price in this battle.

The United Earth Forces lost a total of more than 750 old modified Drake-class battleships, Nelson-class battleships, Agamemnon-class space carriers and several new Drake II space battleships, and the total number of losses of various MAs exceeded 20 units were purchased, and the total loss of personnel exceeded the [-] mark!

The ZAFT army did not fare much better, with a total loss of more than 120 modified Lorasia-class space battleships and Nazca-class cutting-edge warships, and the loss of Zaku I-type MS also exceeded [-] units, and the loss of personnel exceeded the [-] mark!

After this battle, both the United Earth Cosmic Army and the ZAFT Cosmic Army lost their vitality.

Chapter 241 The Deadlocked Battle Begins

On July 70, CE7, both the Earth United and PLANT tacitly stopped the large-scale war in the universe for the time being!

In the case of the United Earth, although General Layla Marukar used the not yet fully "finished" First Space Fleet to force back the ZAFT army in the "Battle on the Moon", his own losses were also quite heavy.

As for the United Earth Space Force, the space fleets that took the lead in attack suffered heavy losses of battleships and MAs. More than 20% of the space battleships and MAs turned into wreckage and corpses in space.The related personnel loss has exceeded the [-] mark. In addition to the losses in the previous wars, the United Earth Space Force can be said to have hurt its vitality, and it will take some time to replenish troops and become familiar with new equipment.

In a short period of time, the United Earth Cosmic Army is no longer suitable for continuing the bloody battle with ZAFT. Instead, according to General Layla Marukar's proposal, it began to reorganize and replenish the strength of the Cosmic Army while announcing victory.

For the ZAFT army, although the loss of personnel and equipment is much less than that of the United Earth Army, the loss of 3 people is still an unbearable large number for PLANT and ZAFT!

As I said before, the total population of PLANT is only tens of millions, even if the number of extreme mobilization is 1000 million.And this time the 3 ZAFT army lost in the "Battle on the Moon" were not recruits, but veterans and elites accumulated by the ZAFT army since its establishment. It can be said that they were lost in the space around the moon in World War I.

After receiving the bad news, Sara, the chairman of PLANT's National Defense Committee, directly broke the beloved teacup that he and his wife bought when they were living together, and immediately roared to shoot the commander of the ZAFT army this time.

But after receiving the news that the commander of the ZAFT army ordered to retreat and get rid of the pursued Earth United Space Force, he directly chose to shoot himself in the head. The chairman of the national defense committee, Sarah, couldn't vent her anger, and fell silent for a while. After that, he ordered the people around him not to be held accountable, and made arrangements for the ZAFT commander's funeral.

Fortunately, although the ZAFT army was injured this time, more than [-]% of its personnel and equipment were still withdrawn. In addition to the other harassing fleets that stayed in the satellite group and diverted their attention, the strength of the ZAFT army did not lose to an unacceptable level. Degree.And now PLANT has entered the overall battle mode, and the recruits of the ZAFT army are also receiving relevant training. It will not take too long to replenish the various equipment and soldiers lost by the ZAFT army this time!

Similarly, in order to ensure that there will be no problems with PLANT, Sara, the chairman of the national defense committee, accepted the opinions put forward by his assistants and staff officers, and while advocating that he was the winning side of this "battle on the moon" (in terms of the number of deaths), he began to criticize the PLANT. Analyze the situation of this battle, and quickly communicate with other congressmen to reach a consensus.

Faced with the retreat of the "Battle on the Moon" campaign and the loss of tens of thousands of personnel, other members of the PLANT councilors also had their own differences after this defeat.Needless to say, the hardliners listened directly to Sarah, the chairman of the National Defense Committee, while most of the neutral MPs also leaned towards Sarah.However, Speaker Klein and members of the peace faction, seeing this situation, also proposed whether to jointly negotiate with the earth, but they were rejected by most of the members.

The United Earth and PLANT have their own reasons for temporarily stopping their steps, so the ZAFT Space Force and the United Earth Space Force have a tacit understanding not to have a large-scale exchange of fire in the universe again, but to maintain the current stalemate between the two fronts. Then began the rapid recruitment and equipment production.

However, in the "Battle on the Moon", the new weapons revealed by both sides set off waves of waves among PLANT, Earth United and other countries!

Among them, the Zaku I equipped by the ZAFT army, the improved Lorasia-class warship and the cutting-edge Nazcar-class warship performed quite well in combat.

The new weapons and force field protection on the Zaku I were favored by the ZAFT army MS drivers who participated in the war. For example, the captain in white, Lao Lu Kruzer, drove the red Zaku I in the "Battle on the Moon" and shot down 21 MAs of the United Earth Space Force, including one Bigelow, won the award and publicity from PLANT again!

Although the improved Lorasia-class warships are not as good as the cutting-edge Nazcar-class warships, they still perform quite well. The performance in this battle was quite good, but the number of losses suffered was still not small.

The cutting-edge Nascar-class space battleships performed well. Among the old-fashioned improved space battleships of the Earth United Space Force that were destroyed during the battle, almost half of them were destroyed by Nazcar-class space battleships.However, the loss in the "Battle on the Moon" was less than twenty ships, which can be called a very good space battleship!

Similarly, the new weapons of the United Earth Forces also caught everyone's attention who didn't know it in advance!

Among them, the three MAs are not too eye-catching. The MA-03A Tie Fighter (the official model name of the improved Tie Fighter) and the MA-04A Thunderbird (the official model of the Thunderbird II) showed outstanding performance on the battlefield. The situation is not satisfactory, the former belongs to the cannon fodder, while the latter belongs to the advanced cannon fodder, completely unable to keep up with the still active performance of the MA-05 Bigelow.

In terms of space battleships, the old improved Drake-class battleships, Nelson-class battleships, and Agamemnon-class space carriers all quickly became cannon fodder in this "Battle on the Moon".Even in the face of the improved Lorasia-class warships in the ZAFT army, they are powerless.Only the Drake II, Nelson II, and the latest Gale-class space battleships that were "not completely completed" later surprised outsiders with their energy defense shields and heavy beam turret performances, and even made many United Earth The uninformed officers and soldiers in the space army felt it was a pity—if these new warships were "completed", it would be a fluke that the ZAFT army could escape one-tenth of them. Where can the main force be preserved?

However, what attracted the attention of Plant and other onlookers the most was not the new space battleship, mass-produced MA, and mass-produced MS, but the three Gundams that appeared in the United Earth Space Force!

In the world of "Gundam SEED", the most famous MS is the Zeon body produced by PLANT. Later, Xigu and high-mobility Zeon are things that attracted the attention of the Earth United, Orb, and waste recyclers.

But now in the "Battle on the Moon", the performance of the three Gundams, the Flaming Phoenix, the White Light Knight, and the Black Nightmare that appeared in the United Earth Army camp, can be said to make everyone tremble.Even if the United Earth Space Force knows that the three Gundams belong to their side, they are still frightened by a Gundam that can destroy a space fleet!

After all, the soldiers in the world of "Gundam SEED" are not robots. After seeing the three Gundams of the Flame Phoenix, White Light Knight, and Black Nightmare directly destroying a space battleship with a large protective force field with a single knife or shot, I was surprised and frightened It's the most normal behavior.In the hostile ZAFT army, there are many guys who couldn't accept this situation after seeing the performance of the three Gundams, and were killed by their enemies or rushed up to die in hysterics.

As a result, during the "Battle on the Moon", even if it was the lowest melee White Light Knight Gundam, it also achieved the record of destroying four improved Lorasia-class battleships and 21 Zaku I-type mobile suits.And the Black Nightmare Gundam driven by Kowloon and the Flame Phoenix Gundam driven by Hongyue Kalian are even more powerful, destroying more battleships and mobile suits...
