Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 150: Battle of Orb

The residents of Orb felt as if their country was on the rack as June approached, as if the whole world was blaming them.

At this time, those who had connections and information tried their best to get the benefits first, but these people were basically people with a certain social status. The vast majority of ordinary people could only live in anxiety day by day.

Then, the worst moment arrived in just half a month. When the Orb government announced that the entire country was on alert and the evacuation point was southeast of Orb, all those who did not have combat missions began to find ways to run to the southeast harbor with their families.

However, Uzmi only gave the official notice one day in advance. The total population of Orb was close to 10 million (no specific data was found, but it must be several million). Now that Heliopolis was gone, a large part of the people there returned to Orb.

If we remove the military and young and middle-aged men who have been conscripted, there are still at least millions of elderly people, women and minors.

It is impossible to move one million people from the north to the southeast of the island in one day, because once the evacuation order is issued, the traffic will be paralyzed, not to mention evacuating millions of people.

And from a practical point of view, how could Red's ship possibly accommodate millions of people? It should be said that in just one day, Red can only take away 20,000 to 30,000 people, so some screening is inevitable.

In fact, the port southeast of Orb could not accommodate so many people. After the war broke out, most of the citizens of Orb could only hide in the nearby air-raid shelters.

Only the citizens of the Adjusters know that they will suffer no good consequences if Orb is annexed by the Atlantic Federation, so they rush to Red's side at all costs.

In addition, there are people who already live in the southeast region. They live nearby. As long as they feel that the air-raid shelter is not as safe as those abroad and have no regrets about their hometown, they will bring their families to Red's place.

So faced with the huge crowds of people at the port, Red could only send all the ground staff out to maintain order and register everyone one by one. Families with members with skills and families of ordinary residents needed to be separated and resettled.

Of course, Red, who was using the banner of humanitarian rescue, was not prepared to ignore those who were screened out. Although ZAFT had no time to take care of the battle in Orb, the Oceania Union still had people to take care of it.

The Atlantic Federation asked Red to blockade the sea to prevent other forces from attacking the Oceania Alliance. They were too close to Orb and had been keeping an eye on this side.

Even though the Oceania Joint Forces were weak, they were equipped with ships that had been modified with the help of ZAFT. Since the appearance of the East Asia Republic's MS, the Oceania Joint Forces were even equipped with the Kin given to them by ZAFT, and their OS were all adjusted by ZAFT.

So even though the army is not very good, their equipment is not bad. Although the possibility is not great, if the Oceania Union really has the guts to stab them from behind, the Atlantic Federation will also be annoyed.

Fortunately, the Oceania Union was used to being protected by ZAFT, and Red thought their army was no better than a guard. So he sent someone to communicate with them and ask if they would accept the civilians from Orb.

The Oceania Federation may think that this is a good opportunity to regain its reputation in the Earth Sphere (because they support PLANT, they have long been labeled as traitors), and the Oceania Federation is famous for its vast land and sparse population. With the most advanced water circulation system provided by PLANT, the water shortage problem has been solved. The main responsibility now is to serve as the granary of PLANT.

Therefore, the Oceania Union would not feel any pressure even if it absorbed the entire population of Orb, and they felt that they also needed population if they wanted to become stronger.

As a result, the Oceania Union and Red hit it off. Red would send those who were screened out onto a transport ship and send them directly to the Oceania Union fleet in the distant sea.

This way, I can give these Orb refugees a chance to survive, and I can also count myself as doing my best. I can just consider it as using some fuel to do good deeds.

But when there are too many people, there will naturally be more trouble. Now is a life-threatening moment, and things like queue-cutting and pushing are happening everywhere in the port.

In order to maintain order and prevent a large-scale stampede, Red killed more than a dozen "troublemakers" who wanted to cut in line before order was stabilized.

However, just as the problem at the port was solved, Red discovered that there was a problem on the battlefield again.

The sound of gunfire from the battle between the Atlantic Federation and Orb was getting closer and closer to them.

Logically speaking, I have already made it clear to both sides that this is a rescue area, and their fighting should not approach us.

So Reid gave the order directly:

"Alert troops, set a buffer zone of one kilometer in front of the cordon. If you see any incoming missiles, intercept them immediately. If any MS or tank troops come over, regardless of whether they are in combat or not, fire a warning shot at the ground first. If they still approach, destroy them immediately, regardless of whether they are Orb or Atlantic Federation MS. If you encounter any that you cannot defeat, call for backup immediately."

After giving orders to the security forces, Red was still worried, so he contacted the Black Tristars in Aries and ordered

"Gaia, Ortega, Matthew, the three of you go out and watch the recruits below from above the defense area. I suspect that both Orb and the Atlantic Federation want to cause trouble. If the recruits fail to prevent the enemy from entering the cordon, or if the enemy directly attacks them, you will take action.

Also, if you find a large force approaching, notify me and I will go talk to the commander of the Atlantic Federation."

In fact, Red's guess was not wrong at all, and his attention first turned to the Atlantic Federation.

Just like in the original novel, Murta Azrael was sitting in the flagship of the Atlantic Federation Pacific Fleet, the Spengler-class battleship USS Powell, chatting and laughing at a battlefield that he was actually not familiar with.

At this time, Major General Drais, the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, was trying hard to suppress his anger. He was not a member of the Blue Cosmos, but had received informal orders from the top to obey Murta Azrael, so he was very dissatisfied with Murta's order to interfere with the operation.

But Major General Delais could only try his best to keep a straight face and reminded
"Director Azrael, I think it is completely meaningless to deliberately bring the war to the New Misrchi Republic rescue forces.

The New Misrchi Republic is authorized by the Earth Union, and we would only put ourselves at a disadvantage by attacking them."

Azrael didn't take Major General Drais's words seriously, but when facing a capable natural person, he still tried his best to appear polite.

In response to Major General Drais's question, Azrael simply replied:

"Don't worry, Major General Drais. The New Mischi Republic has only sent less than a hundred mobile suits. Can they really go to war with us because of some accidental injuries? And don't you want to know the actual combat performance of those mobile suits in the New Mischi Republic? I have sent all the new models I brought over. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

At this time, Major General De Rais really wanted to answer that he didn't want to know.

You know, the situation on the front line is in a stalemate, even though your fleet has brought enough MS this time.

But the country of Orb is indeed ambitious and has quietly produced so many MS defenses.

And Orb obviously anticipated today's situation. Judging from their appearance, these MSs should all be from the same series, but in reality there is a clear distinction between heavy firepower machines and light support machines.

With the help of mountains and fixed turrets, Orb's MS firepower was able to exchange fire with the Atlantic Federation for a while.

After much difficulty, they used the three new models brought by Azrael to create a gap and start the landing battle. As a result, Azrael ordered the three Orb MS troops he brought to defend to the New Misrchi Republic, obviously wanting to cause trouble.

However, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Just as Major General Drais was thinking about what he should do if the idiot Azrael really pissed off the New Mislchi Republic and they shot down one of their machines, the Archangel appeared on the battlefield.

At this time, the Archangel did not actively help Orb defend because its captain, Maru, had been captured by Red. Kira was also struggling with whether to help Orb block the Atlantic Federation's attack because of the murder problem Red gave him.

Seeing that the Atlantic Federation had too many machines, Cagalli realized that her own fleet could not hold out for long, so she acted faster than she thought and took the initiative to run to the Archangel for help.

Since it was his biological sister who asked for help, even though Kira didn't know at this time that he and Cagalli were siblings (there is still no conclusion as to who is older and who is younger, so let's just use the relationship in the animation), the blood relationship is thicker than water and Kira couldn't refuse Cagalli.

Malu also remembered Red's instructions when he left, and knew that Red was helping Orb evacuate its people. So going out now to buy time for Orb would also be helping Red buy time.

So the Archangel left the port at this time to prevent the Atlantic Federation troops from landing.

The combat capability of the Archangel is unquestionable, and Kira is an expert at clearing out messes.

This time, there were no three Gundams, Snatch, Forbidden, and Disaster, to hold Kira back, so unlike the original, the Archangel, without the help of Strike and Storm, cooperated with the Freedom Gundam and still successfully destroyed all the Atlantic Federation MS forces that landed.

Then Kira officially started to be a firefighter, putting out fires everywhere. Because the Atlantic Federation relied on its military advantage and played a saturation attack.

After Orb's defense line holds out for a while, various problems will arise, and it will only be able to rely on freedom to put out fires everywhere.

The Orb military also realized that as long as Kira's Freedom Gundam could concentrate on dealing with the Atlantic Federation's Strike Dagger, the Atlantic Federation would not be able to land in Orb easily.

With the level of the Orb military, they can naturally judge which machines on the battlefield are most likely to hold back the Freedom Gundam.

So the Orb military also set their sights on Red. After all, in the eyes of the Orb military, Red was not a good person. He said he was providing humanitarian aid, but in fact he was just plundering talents.

So the military commander (Cagali went to the Archangel for help, and unlike the original, she did not stay in the command room) directly ordered the two lightweight M1 heretic pilots who were robbed, forbidden, and chased like dogs with more than a dozen assault daggers.
"Lead the Atlantic Federation troops to the New Mischi Republic warships, bypass the port, and be careful not to hurt civilians!"

At this time, after receiving the message, the two lightweight M1 heretic drivers only wanted to curse their superiors for being inhumane and actually wanting to lead the enemy to the place where civilians were retreating.

In fact, they had long realized that the Atlantic Federation Army was deliberately driving them to the retreat point, but they still held out a glimmer of hope, hoping that the Orb military would send people to stop the troops behind them from going to the retreat point.

But this order made the two pilots despair. Thinking that the people retreating there were basically the elderly, children, women and children, the two pilots who still had a conscience became ruthless. Without communicating with each other, they turned around and fired directly at the Assault Daggers chasing behind.

However, there are not so many miracles in the world, and this hasty counterattack was naturally dodged by the powerful dagger.

The M1 Heretics of these two pilots were instantly pierced by seven or eight light beams from the stressed-out Strong Dagger Pursuit Team. The bodies of the machines exploded directly, and the two pilots were deader than dead.

At this time, the three enhanced humans who followed the Assault Dagger to drive away the two M1 Heretics were confused.

The pilot of the Gundam, Grot Buell, asked directly in the team communication

"Alas! The rabbit we chased away committed suicide. What should we do?"

Shani Andras, the pilot of the Forbidden Gundam, replied grimly.
"No, if you fail to complete the task, you will be punished."

Upon hearing that he was being punished, the pilot of the Calamity Gundam, Allga Sabnack, went berserk and said with a grim face:

"You won't be punished if you complete the goal. The higher-ups told us to attack those blue and white MS, so we just have to attack them! Watch me, Extermination!!"

As it spoke, the two 125mm "ram angle" high-energy long-range beam cannons on the back of the Disaster Gundam fired at the Strike GM Command on defense.

The MS pilots from the New Mischi Republic had naturally discovered this Atlantic Federation force a long time ago.

However, the Atlantic Federation's troops are still far away from the cordon, so this team only reported that a dozen Atlantic Federation MS were approaching, and did not report the other party's configuration, but was just on guard.

Fortunately, Noin's training was very professional. Although these MS pilots were all recruits, they kept in mind the requirements of the training. When on guard and defense, the shield must be raised at any time. And the patrol and guard will naturally not be a slow machine like a gun-equipped machine. All the Strike GM Command Types of the guard team are standard equipment.

When the lock alarm sounded in the machine, the pilots of the two Strike GM Commanders targeted by the Disaster Gundam raised their shields as a reflex.

Since anti-beam coatings are not very valuable to Red, the most difficult processes are all done by factory modules, so as long as it is a human-driven machine, it is no problem to equip each one with an ordinary anti-beam shield.

Unlike the Earth Union, the shield of the Assault Dagger is just a high-tensile steel plate in the shape of a shield. It can block Jinn's physical machine gun bullets, but when it comes to beam weapons, it's like nothing.

Therefore, the high-energy, long-range beam cannon of the Calamity Gundam hit the anti-beam shield directly, barely blocking the attack.

However, the anti-beam shield was directly destroyed by the high-energy beam, and finally an explosion occurred, which directly knocked down the Strike GM Commander who had temporarily raised the shield and failed to adjust his posture.

However, the person inside the machine was fine, he was just frightened and failed to control the machine to stand up in time.

At this point the inexperience of the new recruits was revealed. If there were veterans who had fought in several MS battles, they would have commanded the machines that were still able to move to raise shields to protect the two unlucky guys who fell.

But now, including the captain of this defense team, they were dumbfounded by this sudden attack, and the entire team fell silent.

Fortunately, the Black Tristars in the sky observed this scene when the Disaster opened fire. As they rushed down from the sky, Gaia shouted in the voice of this team:

"What are you doing? All your training was in vain! Fight back!"

After Gaia's roar, the new recruits reacted immediately and quickly raised their shields to fight back with the super rocket launcher that had a longer range on Earth.

The two unlucky guys lying dead on the ground quickly manipulated their machines to stand up. However, they had no shields to hold up, so they simply used beam rifles in their right hands and super rocket launchers in their left hands to vent the fear of almost dying just now.
