Gundam Super G Universe

Chapter 480: Maginot Line of the CE Universe
In May of CE74, more than half a month had passed since the New Mischi Kingdom launched its second wave of offensive in the former Canadian territory of the Atlantic Federation.

Most of the fighting in this month was spent in the first week. As the Atlantic Federation withdrew its main forces to the south of the Victoria-Augusta line, the cities in the north gave up resistance due to the lack of defensive forces.

Of course, reality is not a game. When the army of the New Misluchi Kingdom arrives, it doesn’t mean they have occupied the place just by planting a flag.

In order to ensure that there will be no major chaos in the rear after subsequent battles, arrangements need to be made to replace city government staff and dispatch new guard troops.

Even though Letty had already prepared a large number of security forces and officials to maintain the local situation, it still took more than half a month to stabilize the cities in the former Canadian region of the Atlantic Federation.

Of course, the Atlantic Federation has not been idle for more than half a month.

The tactics of long-range inertial missiles have become ineffective due to the existence of Whitenaos. Even after more than half a month, the Atlantic Federation has not been able to determine what the microwave weapons of the New Mischi Kingdom Army are.

But based on subsequent battles, the Atlantic Federation has been able to determine that this weapon has limitations in use and can only be used against targets flying at high altitudes. If it really comes into contact with missiles at close range, this strange microwave interception method will be ineffective.

In general, the Atlantic Federation's judgment was not wrong. When it came to a close combat environment, Whitenaos was just a pure power bank.

The microwave cannon does not protect friendly forces from damage, and its close-range sweeping missiles are very destructive to formations and can easily cause accidental injuries.

Unless Red is willing to put the only Whitenaos at the front of the team.

Whitenauth used eight original solar furnaces, which were very valuable. Red was reluctant to put them in the first row just to intercept the missiles from the opposite side.

You know, the first row will not only face missiles, but also countless light beams, not to mention that the presence of Whitenaos at the front will be exposed immediately.

Therefore, when it comes to urban street fighting, Whitenaos will not be of much use.

It's just that it has come down to street fighting, and the New Misluchi Kingdom Army, which has a large number of Bilge IIs, basically has no chance of losing.

Of course, this is also because there are really not many garrisons in the former Canadian region of the Atlantic Federation.

However, facing the threat of an invasion by the New Mischi Kingdom south of the Victoria-Augusta line sooner or later, the Atlantic Federation has made preparations on the defense line and in all coastal cities in the east for the past half month.

The Atlantic Federation connected all the cities along this line into a defensive city, which can be called the Maginot Line of the CE universe.

However, this Maginot Line did not have high walls or fortresses. In today's world where MS is prevalent, these two things provide more psychological comfort than practical utility.

What the Atlantic Federation did was to transform all the cities along this line into armed cities filled with various bunkers and turrets.

Moreover, in order to prevent the New Mischi Kingdom's military from directly destroying the city with weapons of large-scale destruction, the Atlantic Federation was very inhumane and refused to evacuate civilians.

Local civilians were forcibly conscripted as laborers to build artillery batteries in the city every day.

As for the western region, the Atlantic Federation had given up long ago and relied on the Rocky Mountains as a natural defense line.

It can only be said that the top leaders of the Atlantic Federation and LOGOS have gone crazy. It took more than half a month to transform so many cities into armed cities. Even if the engineering speed of the CE universe is very exaggerated, the civilians in these cities have to work in three shifts.

Moreover, it is impossible to expect the Atlantic Federation to provide these workers with good welfare. God knows what the civilians in these cities have been through in the past half month.

However, due to the information blockade, civilians further inland had no idea of ​​the situation in these cities. Even if some rumors were passed on, because the Atlantic Federal Government had too many issues that it didn't deal with, many people felt that forced labor was not a big deal and it didn't affect them, so the big deal was to prevent their homes from being bombed by nuclear bombs.

For Red, an armed urban defense line extending from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Coast and then down to all Atlantic coastal cities is actually quite tricky.

If it is not possible to destroy the city by large-scale killing, the only option left for a forced attack is to flatten every building in the city.

As for the option of airdropping directly from space to inland cities, it does not exist.

There is no shortage of soldiers in the former Lighthouse Country area now, and all cities are defended by a large number of troops.

Even if the anti-aircraft missiles cannot shoot too high, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft beam cannons can still provide normal air defense. Without the cover of ground troops, even if the space landing is successful, the losses will be huge.

After discussion, Red judged that it was a conscious decision for the Atlantic Federation to use civilians as human shields. As long as they used weapons of mass destruction or really razed the city, the Atlantic Federation would make a fuss about it.

Civilians further inland had no idea that all the buildings in these cities had been converted into turrets. The Atlantic Federation didn't care whether the building structures could support it or not. They just put a beam cannon into the window and connected the circuits inside and that was it.

Anyway, if a real fight breaks out and the lines explode, it can be considered as a building destroyed by the New Mislchi Kingdom.

When the time comes, all the deaths will be blamed on Red.

For the Atlantic Federation Army, recruiting laborers during wartime is an old custom in human history. Given the quality of Atlantic Federation soldiers, they certainly have no psychological burden in oppressing civilians to this extent.

But Red couldn't do that. If he wanted to quickly take control of the Atlantic Federation's territory after it was destroyed, it would be impossible to accidentally injure civilians on a large scale, and it would also go against his own code of conduct.

Unless you will lose the war and die if you don't take this city, Red will try his best to limit the war to soldiers.

If a forceful attack doesn't work, then we can only use wits to defeat him.

Many of the Atlantic Federation prisoners who were released earlier have now formed organizations within the Atlantic Federation.

Moreover, the Atlantic Federation Army in these defense-line cities is so inhumane that the civilians have long been angry.

It would be so easy to incite them at this time.

First of all, the city that Red chose to break through the CE version of the Maginot Line was Massena, southwest of Ottawa, as the breakthrough point.

As the capital of the former Canadian region, Ottawa is a very prosperous city with convenient transportation. The New Misluchi Kingdom has stationed a large number of troops here.

Of course, several cities around Ottawa are also the focus of defense of the Atlantic Federation Army.

Red chose to break through here because, when Newfoundland intercepted the nuclear bomb, the unlucky ones were the Quebec Province and Frederickton area in the northwest. Coupled with the subsequent forced labor, the civilians here had already hated the Atlantic Federation.

Secondly, because of the large number of the Atlantic Federation Army here, they have gathered troops from many places, including troops that had been instigated by the Atlantic Federation Army’s captured officers who had been released by Red.

Even though it was just a small unit without a single mobile suit and normally could only do patrols and support work, it could now play a big role.

Third, once a breakthrough is made here, we can go straight to Washington in the south and occupy the Great Lakes industrial area in the west. No matter how we fight, we can inflict heavy damage on the Atlantic Federation.

Red first sent people into the city of Massena through the old Beijing optimal solution [digging a tunnel]. Since the city has been undergoing renovations, the sound coming from underground is a very normal phenomenon.

Among the city's underground structure patrol team are members of the rebel unit.

Therefore, the personnel of the New Misluchi Kingdom Army easily dug a passage that could directly lead to the underground railway network of the city of Massena, and a team of twenty people quietly entered the city.

After finishing the task, the members of the rebellion team immediately blocked the entrance to the passage and camouflaged it to ensure that other patrol troops would not discover it.

Then the next day, these twenty people were dispersed by insiders to various places to build artillery positions.

The task that Red gave these people was actually very simple. Just bring some EMP bombs in and place them at several transformer nodes in the city.

When an ordinary city is transformed into an armed city, the city’s civilian circuits must be temporarily modified and the voltage must be increased.

The newly added transformer nodes naturally need to be maintained all the time. After all, it is normal for temporary additions to have failures every day.

After twenty people had worked day and night in the city for three days, it was finally the turn of the rebel troop to guard the transformer.

However, it is impossible for such an important place to be guarded by only one troop, so it is not so easy for this rebel troop to install EMP bombs.

At this time, the twenty people who had infiltrated the workers' unit three days ago came in handy.

These people were carefully selected by Red, and each of them is very familiar with the work of electricians.

The Atlantic Federation's engineering forces are scattered across so many cities, and it would be great if there were one or two people in each city to provide guidance. It would be wishful thinking to expect the troops' professionals to maintain these transformers.

Therefore, the Atlantic Federation can only allow civilian engineers or people familiar with this work to perform maintenance.

Then these twenty people with special skills will naturally be selected to maintain each transformer.

At that time, the EMP bomb only needs to be installed under the noses of our own people.

When all the EMP bombs were installed, Red, who received the news, immediately led his troops to attack the city of Massena that night.

A large number of warships from Ottawa took off instantly, led by the Archangel.

The battleship's searchlight illuminated the area west of Massena as bright as day. As long as the Atlantic Federation guards were not blind, they would be able to discover the attack by the New Mischelchi Kingdom Army.

The next second, the air defense alarm sounded throughout the city of Massena, foreshadowing the start of a war.

However, this air defense alarm was also a signal, and the rebel troops responsible for guarding the transformer immediately detonated the EMP bomb in the transformer remotely.

In an instant, the interior of Massena went from brightly lit to pitch black, and even the air raid sirens stopped.

The Atlantic Federation Army responsible for guarding the west side of Massena was stunned. The artillery they controlled could not fire at all because the power was completely cut off.

All I can say is that the city of Massena was temporarily converted into a combat city. If it were a normal fortress, even if the power was cut off, the artillery position would have a backup power supply, so it would definitely not be unable to fire a single shot.

But now the energy of these artillery batteries is connected to the original city lines, several transformer nodes were destroyed, and the city immediately experienced a large-scale power outage.

At this time, the civilians who had been persuaded long ago began to rebel under the leadership of the twenty soldiers.

Relying on their large numbers, they defeated the Atlantic Federation Army guarding them and stole their weapons and equipment.

Since the New Mislchi Kingdom Army has begun to attack the city, all MS have been dispatched to fight, and it is impossible for the organisms to care about these rioting civilians.

In addition, the entire city is now dark, and wired communications were immediately cut off by the civilians who are most familiar with the city, causing the signal adapters in the city to fail.

The front-line troops were instantly cut off from the rear, and many defenders could not receive any messages from the headquarters. They could only bite the bullet and fight alone with individual rocket launchers.

However, the infantry stationed there had a hard time, and the MS troops guarding the city facing the attack from the New Misluchi Kingdom Army had an even harder time.

Due to the limited space in the city, the New Mislichi Kingdom Army was greatly restricted in street fighting even though it had an advantage in numbers.

Originally, when all the surrounding buildings were artillery batteries, even Bilge II would be in a situation where he only cared about the head and not the butt.

But now, all the turrets were silent, and the eight-link circular magnetic shield was facing forward to block the front. The MS and MA of the Atlantic Federation Army could only fight in close combat under the firepower of the Bilge II.

As for the battle in the air, without the support of ground firepower, the Windam troops of the Atlantic Federation Army could not defeat the mixed forces of the automatic mecha Murasame and Richelle, not to mention that the New Mischi Kingdom Army had warship support.

Therefore, the Atlantic Federation lost air supremacy very quickly. Red, who was commanding in the rear, did not take any action. In just ten minutes, the sky over Massena was cleared and the air force turned to intercept support forces from other cities.

At this time, Red set off in the Giuveus Gundam Infinity, and under the protection of the Xia sisters' Double Moon Gundam, he headed straight for the city hall building.

In fact, the current command center of the Atlantic Federation Army in Massena is not in the town hall building.

After all, the commander of the Atlantic Federation Army here is not bold enough to choose a well-known place as his headquarters.

But Red used the Juwayus Gundam Infinity to cut down the Atlantic Federation flag on the town hall building and planted the flag of the New Mischi Kingdom. The machine then took off and flew around the city, playing the previously recorded sound at full volume in a loop.

"The city of Massena has been captured by our army. Surrender now and you will not be killed!"

The Juwayus Gundam Infinity, the machine representing Red, still puts a lot of pressure on the Atlantic Federation Army.

Seeing the Wayus Gundam Infinity flying from behind them, the Atlantic Federation MS troops on the front line really thought that the city had been captured, otherwise why couldn't they contact the headquarters at all.

So, the front-line troops laid down their weapons and surrendered without much hesitation.

Once the battle line was breached, the Atlantic Federation commander in Massena knew that he was powerless to turn the tide.

Knowing that escaping back to the Atlantic Federation now might not be better than being a prisoner in the New Misluchi Kingdom Army, the commander took the initiative to run out of the headquarters and hung up the white flag of surrender.

The Atlantic Federation had been exploiting civilians for more than half a month and had spent countless manpower and material resources to build a defense line, but due to the fall of Massena, a huge loophole suddenly appeared.
