UC will eventually reach the stars

"Hey! Forgot about me?!" In the instant he flew past, Reed Wolf plunged his electro-thermal sword deep into the back of the Zaku attempting to maneuver. After pulling it out, without even confirming the outcome, he immediately withdrew his sword and fled. Even if the enemy didn't die, his teammates would definitely finish them off. Even if the kill wasn't credited to Reed Wolf, it would still be a shared kill!

"Forward, turn around and concentrate your fire on the enemy's returning MS! Don't give them a chance to regroup!" Jung shouted into the communicator, then immediately jumped off his wreckage. Sure enough, a series of 120mm shells landed on his position. "Three shots really..." This was a statistic Ye Yun had in mind; when sniping from one spot, it's best to run away after the third shot.

Fully armed with short sword, he sidestepped and fired! In one fluid motion, the recoil of the 180mm heavy cannon accelerated his dodge! And this 180mm heavy cannon shell cleanly shattered a Zaku that was charging towards his defensive line.

"The third one!" Jung smiled easily! Their first independent battle was rapidly closing in on the situation in a direction they were familiar with!

Don't forget, the vast majority of them, perhaps even over 90%, were originally fighter pilots! At most, some were former Iron Ball or Industrial Leo robot pilots who transferred over, but there weren't many of them. The majority were pilots, so they were extremely familiar with this high-speed, hit-and-run combat style.

After all, close-range air combat is part of a pilot's romance! Just like when Ye Yun and his group were fighting at the mining base, what the Federation pilots most wanted to see was that today the Zeon Dop pilots would show some backbone and come up to fight them in the air! Instead of these cowards spending another day as cowards.

"Ah! One more charge! That's awesome!" Jazz music blared in Io Fleming's cockpit as he intently guided his short sword in an arc, maintaining speed! Full speed ahead!

With time running out and regardless of whose teammates they were, the first squadron of 13 Daggers quickly formed an assault formation to meet the Zeon Zaku, which was halfway through its sortie and had urgently returned to intercept the Federation Daggers' attack!

Without a doubt! The Zeon forces dispatched a near-squadron-sized mobile suit to attack Ye Yun, making it a lavish send-off! However, the Zeon forces themselves did not expect that these Earth Federation mobile suit pilots would be so rebellious. They were carried by the Earth Federation's few assault motherships, the Trafalgar-class and Nelson-class, under the guise of long-range training, and directly followed Ye Yun's Columbus-class towards the Zeon fleet!

A full-strength, no, an over-strength Federal Army battalion—don't forget the Federal Army has four squadrons and one battalion! A full-strength battalion has 48 aircraft. Subtract the three Short Swords that Ye Yun and his group took away, and add the ten that Ye Yun and his group left behind, for a total of 55 aircraft!

Facing the Zeon MS battalion, which was missing at least one squadron, the Zeon forces originally consisted of three squadrons and one battalion, with a full complement of only 36 mobile suits! Now, they were missing an entire squadron (who were currently engaged in combat with Ye Yun and his group), and another squadron was on its way. So, only 12 mobile suits and one squadron were present!

That's a difference of more than four times the troop strength!

That squadron that was halfway there has now discovered that not only can they not participate in the battle with Ye Yun's group, but their base has also been raided! They are now desperately trying to get back! After all, if the entire fleet is sunk, the mobile suits' propellant won't be enough to get them back to Side 3 or anywhere else!

Oh, right, actually, some people have already started joining the battle...

In the darkness of space, colossal steel warships approached the battlefield. At this very moment, as the Zeon army's formation crumbled, these warships arrived at their pre-selected hunting ground! They suppressed their excitement! They were about to join this grand feast!

A fleet consisting of one Magellan-class, three Salamis-class, one Trafalgar-class, and three Nelson-class ships arrived at the edge of the battlefield!

"All guns aimed at the enemy Chibe-class heavy cruisers! Their formation is completely chaotic! Don't waste the opportunity our soldiers have created for us! If we can't even hit the target, we should all commit suicide!" Colonel White, yes, he had finally been promoted for his meritorious service, gripped his cap tightly and roared, "Fire! Smash them!!"

The massive cannons on the warship have already been turned around; the romantic notion of big ships and giant cannons doesn't seem to be outdated at all!

Chapter Ninety-Six: I'm in a hurry

The moment the eight Federation Forces' massive Mega Particle Cannons unleashed their powerful particle streams, the awe-inspiring scene stunned the MS forces of both sides engaged in chaotic combat on the battlefield!

There was no other way, because the entire fleet had been destroyed by the MS forces. To avoid a collision, the Zeon fleet had to slow down, which is different from the navy. The navy is two-dimensional, and once the fighters take off, they basically have no interaction with the aircraft carriers.

But in space, hey~ you can crash into one!

Coupled with the indiscriminate bombardment from the Dagger 380 rocket launchers, the Zeon fleet was thrown into disarray by a large squadron of Daggers, making it impossible to maintain the overall anti-aircraft firepower of the fleet.

This was a fatal blow to the Zeon warships! They had to slow down! Yes, just like the Earth Federation fleet that was thrown into disarray by Zeon mobile suits during the Battle of Loum, they had to slow down!

The Earth Federation fleet that stormed into the battlefield at this time was, just as Colonel White said, practically firing at target!

联邦军的战舰设计思路是相当整齐的，麦哲伦级和萨拉米斯级都是重视前半球火力设计，麦哲伦级正前方有5座双联装356毫米15MW米加例子重炮，萨拉米斯级则是有3座单装203毫米10MW舰炮。

(That's how it's written in the setting, clearly stating the caliber and immense power of the 14-inch and 8-inch Mega Particle Cannons.)

The Nelson-class and Trafalgar-class ships were essentially the Salamis-class and Magellan-class ships with external transport bays added, thus removing the side-mounted firepower. As a result, the entire Federation fleet formed a spindle shape, with all its firepower focused like a lens!

Then everyone in this space saw it, and was stunned by the scene that the Chebe-class heavy cruiser was blown into a ball of fire after taking more than twenty mega particle beams head-on!

A volley of shots!

Just one round!

However, the ship was hit by bullets everywhere, and one of the main guns fired by the Trafalgar-class even seemed to be divinely inspired, hitting directly into the enemy's hangar. It is unknown what it hit, but it directly caused a violent explosion in the hangar.

Unfortunately, probably no one will know what was hit, since everyone was instantly engulfed by the explosion. Then, the explosion began to spread throughout the entire Chibe-class ship. Just a few minutes later, a Chibe-class warship, which was considered very precious in the Zeon army, was reduced to a pile of wreckage in this space!

In particular, the Federation fleet seemed afraid that the Chebe-class heavy cruiser might rise from the dead, so they actually delivered the finishing blow! They simply used large anti-ship missiles as straight-running torpedoes, firing a salvo that blasted the Chebe's wreckage into pieces! It was truly a one-stop solution of destruction, cremation, and ashes.

The second salvo hit a Msai that had already taken several hits from 380mm rocket launchers. This Msai quickly followed in the footsteps of the Chebe, but the Msai behind it was the one that was truly unlucky!

Amidst the despairing gazes of the bridge crew, the wreckage crashed erratically into them, leaving them unable to move! Yes, both of their main engines had been completely destroyed! One had been blown up by Jung's 180mm rocket launcher, and the other had been hit by two 380mm rockets, the explosions severing the connecting pillar between the main engine and the Musai itself.

"Excellent, that's it! Focus fire on the Zeon warships! Ignore the mobile suits, let the mobile suit forces handle them! Focus fire on the lead ship, the Musai, don't give it a chance to turn around!" Colonel White excitedly pounded the armrest with his fist; he hadn't felt this excited in a long time!

Then another barrage of Mega Particle Cannons focused their fire once more, and the Msai-class light cruiser was in an even worse situation than the Chibe-class! Even though it was the first warship and still had some room for maneuver, the captain of this Msai-class light cruiser did make good use of that space, allowing the Msai to maneuver and evade!

But unfortunately, two Zaku were firing at the air around it, driving away the approaching Daggers, effectively trapping a large area of ​​its own mobile suit. However, it really couldn't function without them!

Just moments ago, the Sapphire Mse, located on their left flank, was approached by a short sword. The electric sword then sliced ​​off two of its main guns. Damaging the main guns wouldn't be so bad, but the short sword showed no sign of leaving. It threw down its shield, drew its 90mm machine gun, and unleashed a barrage of fire on the breach. You can't even imagine what happened inside. In the end, we learned that the bridge was set ablaze by an internal explosion…

Before the Musei-class light cruiser could even accelerate, a series of mega particle streams suddenly attacked from behind, giving it no chance to dodge. After two salvos, it was completely blown apart from top to bottom! The explosion even swept up the two Zaku IIs next to it that were chasing the Dagger, giving them no chance to escape.

The explosion lit up the sky, and before the pilots of the two Zaku 2Fs could react, they were engulfed by the explosion from behind. Shattered steel plates pierced through the two Zaku 2s from behind, taking them both away in an instant.

The battle had become very clear by this point, and even the Zeon forces themselves were feeling desperate. Many commanders of the Musai-class light cruisers, realizing that there was no way to turn the tide, began to spontaneously disband their fleets and scatter to prepare for a breakout!

But at this moment, it was the Federation forces' turn to not let them go! Under the orders of Jung, who was relatively an observer, the MS unit began to detach a squadron of MS to intercept the Zeon ships. Unfortunately, according to their previous plan, the moment they charged, their 380mm rocket launchers had already run out of rockets.

This barrage of rockets was completely different from the Zeon forces' aim of inflicting heavy damage on Federation warships. The Federation mobile suits, while bombarding the Zeon ships, simply aimed and focused on hitting the target, not caring where they hit. Their goal was to damage the Zeon warships as quickly as possible, causing chaos and panic! After finishing their shots, they tossed aside their launchers, drew their guns, and prepared to engage the Zeon mobile suits in close combat.

This move appears to have been executed quite well so far. The Zeon fleet has fallen into complete chaos, and before they could even organize a decent air defense network, these guys have already passed them by.

As for the biggest impact on the battle, it was naturally the MS units that had already launched their attack and were heading towards Ye Yun and his two companions. These MS units turned back almost immediately.

After all, if their transport ship were destroyed by Federation mobile suits, it was hard to say whether they would be able to wait for their own personnel to be rescued before the oxygen in the cockpit ran out, and even then, rescue might not be good news, because…

The Federation Army now has MS units, and even its own combat methods... This kind of fighting style, with its feet constantly on the ground, is just like ancient cavalry. They break through their lines and fire at them indiscriminately. On the contrary, they dare not fire indiscriminately because they are afraid of hitting their own people. As a result, this intensifies the guys' indiscriminate bombardment within their lines!

Furthermore, because the Zeon forces' mobile suits are relatively scattered, although this effectively avoids being concentrated and slaughtered by the enemy, it also means that when they are attacked, a single Zaku often has to face a whole squad of short swords firing at it. Even if there are only one or two short-range firing windows during the moment of firefight, the Zaku without shields cannot withstand it at all!

Only 20 minutes have passed since the start of the battle. This includes the fact that the entire squadron accelerated to a certain level and then simply shut down the engines to stealthily advance for a distance. Everyone only ignited the thrusters again and advanced at full speed the moment Jung fired!

The Minovsky particles released by the Zeon forces, intended to interfere with Ye Yun and his group's distress signals and kill Ye Yun silently, have now become their own problem, blocking their own eyes and ears! The Federation Space Forces' MS Training Battalion, which had been sneaking in, has also gotten close!

"This is Ye Yun. Supply pack launch coordinates have been sent." Ye Yun's voice clearly reached the battlefield!

"Hahaha! You fools of the Zeon army! Look what your superiors have done by sending you here! To kill Instructor Ye Yun! Hahaha! You've come to your deaths! We knew you'd come from the start! Fools! You've been abandoned!" Sima's laughter was particularly grating; it was part of psychological warfare, and it was highly effective!

The Zeon mobile suit pilots were clearly disorganized, and some began to lose their will to fight, wanting to catch up with the Muse who were already preparing to leave and then retreat!

However! The lead Musai once again experienced what had happened countless times before. A barrage of mega particle beams bombarded it relentlessly, and the Musai took the brunt of a squadron-level barrage of fire! The sudden explosion of the thrusters caused the ship to tilt and flip, crashing directly into the hull of a Musai-class ship that was also retreating nearby!

That's great, the next round of shooting can be skipped, the two muses exploded into two huge fireworks.

"Fire the replenishment packs immediately! Colonel Ye Yun! Congratulations! We've achieved a glorious victory together!" Colonel White ordered the hangar crew to fire replenishment packs at Ye Yun while continuing to order the ship's guns to concentrate fire on the remaining Zeon fleet! He wasn't going to let a single one escape!

Colonel Ye Yun sacrificed himself to create such excellent conditions for the ambush! Letting even one of them escape would be disrespectful to the danger Ye Yun had taken!

"Colonel, I'm on my way to provide support!" Jung said quickly. The battle to clean up the battlefield and eliminate the remaining enemies no longer required his command. Now, he had gathered a squadron of short sword pilots around him, including Yazan, who was still flying the 666th Squadron livery and hadn't changed his short sword. They were ready to join the support for Ye Yun!

The Earth Federation Space Forces haven't achieved such a resounding victory in so long! Therefore, there absolutely cannot be any blemishes in the conclusion of this victory! A complete and utter victory is imperative!

Colonel Ye Yun cannot be allowed to fail!

"Support? No... your actions are still a bit slow!" Ye Yun's voice was tinged with laughter. Three short swords, each bearing some damage, stood in mid-air, surrounded by the wreckage of nearly ten Zaku. "It's just that all three short swords are a bit injured. You'll definitely get nagged by the mechanics when you get back."

"Colonel, you didn't leave us any time at all!" Yazan said helplessly over the radio. After all, Ye Yun and his three units had almost completely destroyed an entire company of enemy troops in a head-on confrontation. This was no longer a question of whether it was scary or not! No additional description was needed in the propaganda; a straightforward account would be enough to scare Zeon!

"The last squadron has already retreated to support the fleet. Shouldn't you have already encountered them on the way?" Ye Yun smiled, opened the cockpit of the Short Sword, climbed out, waved to Jung and the others, and said in the communication, "Colonel White, the Short Sword is running low on propulsion fuel. Launch the shuttle. You guys retrieve the Short Sword yourselves. I'm in a hurry."

"Yes, Colonel Ye Yun!"

Chapter Ninety-Seven Horrifying Results

"Ugh... I didn't sleep very well this time..." Ye Yun took off his eye mask and sat up from the high-class chair in the shuttle. There were only three passengers in the huge Earth Federation military high-class business jet.

"Colonel Ye Yun! We have arrived at our destination!" The beautiful female soldier stared intently at Ye Yun. Not to mention his youth, handsome appearance, and great physique, he was also a future general of the Federal Army who had won numerous battles and the eldest son of Ye's Heavy Industry! With all these combined identities, even if Ye Yun wasn't particularly good-looking, it was enough for any woman to look at him through a thick filter.

"Okay..." Ye Yun nodded slightly, his expression still somewhat numb! He couldn't deny one thing: using cheat codes was risky, and there was a reason why so many new humans ended up going insane! Various negative emotions swirled around Ye Yun's heart like madness.

Ye Yun curled his lip and glanced at the female soldier beside him, who had initially been trying to ingratiate herself. But upon meeting Ye Yun's gaze, she was suddenly terrified. In an instant, she felt cold sweat soak through her underwear. What was this feeling? It was as if a ferocious beast, filled with murderous intent, was looking at something inanimate with the eyes of someone who had never seen a living thing…

But in the next instant, that feeling vanished. "Sorry, I don't think I've gotten out of the battlefield yet." Ye Yun's smile was extremely awkward. His gentle smile slightly reassured the female soldier, who then forced a stiff smile at him before scrambling away.

Then, as she was leaving the house, she tripped and fell to the ground.

"If you chase after him now, you might be in luck tonight~" Sima sneered. Although she didn't quite understand what had happened to Ye Yun, Ye Yun's state was somewhat familiar to her. Those veterans who went crazy on the battlefield were very similar to Ye Yun in his current state.

Ye Yun was practically just missing a state of irritability and anger; he was practically the perfect example of battlefield trauma syndrome.

However, Sima clearly knew that Ye Yun's illness was not some kind of battlefield disease, but rather a deeper, more spiritual condition, akin to pollution.

Hmm, we've found out why Char is looking for his mother...

Try calling out "Mom" to Aina tonight?

"Is everything alright?" Gao Long frowned. These guys, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, were more sensitive to Ye Yun's situation. Clearly, Ye Yun had just unleashed an unusual killing intent, but it wasn't directed at anyone; it was just pure killing intent.

"This is a bit bad. I hope I can get some sleep and recover when I get back." Ye Yun shook his head, feeling his brain buzzing! But he still got up and walked out of the cabin. The shuttle they were on was currently parked at Africa's largest airport, at most... 2 minutes away from the African Army Command, yes, right next door!

"Colonel Ye Yun, look here!"

"Colonel Ye Yun, you have just led the Earth Federation Space Force MS Training Battalion to victory in the Low Earth Orbit battle. Do you have anything to say?"

"Colonel Ye Yun! May I ask..."

"Colonel Ye Yun! Could you please tell me..."

The moment Ye Yun stepped out of the cabin, a large group of reporters rushed towards him like a battle cry, almost causing Ye Yun to instinctively try to close the cabin door.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A group of military police came over and shoved the reporters forcefully. Their African Army Commander-in-Chief was still waiting for Ye Yun in the airport lounge! In short, the scene was quite unsightly.

"Damn... I feel like I've been blinded by a flashbang." Ye Yun looked back at the scene, shaking his head with a wry smile. Gao Long behind him remained expressionless, twitching his lips in response, while Xima, wearing large sunglasses, laughed heartily.

Without a doubt, Ye Yun and his team achieved a truly terrifying result this time, leading the Federation Space Force's training battalion.

To be precise, it's probably not just scary anymore. The results were so impressive that even the Federation Space Forces themselves found it hard to believe. After all, Ye Yun's farewell performance involved slaughtering six or seven Zeon warships and nearly a whole squadron of mobile suits.

The entire training squadron set off under the guise of long-range combat readiness patrol training, and when it returned, the fleet seemed to have not even a speck of grease on its skin.

Then... Colonel White proudly reported the results of this battle.

When the federal army staff saw this record, they thought they had misread it!

What the heck? Didn't you guys say you were going on a long-range training voyage?! What is this? A whole squadron? MS? And a Chebe? Six Mse? Huh?

It's like an old man walking his birdcage in the early morning telling you that he had an itch to beat a black bear to death!

That's not how you make up a story!

Then they obtained the combat footage...

what……

This……

A super-large fleet charged straight at the enemy formation! After disrupting their lines, the Federation fleet entered the fray and annihilated the Zeon fleet!

Despite the enemy being a full-strength fleet, they were forced to retreat and defend themselves after being attacked by their own fleet in their pursuit of Ye Yun, resulting in a piecemeal attack!

The entire battle can be divided into several time periods.

Phase 6, 6:55, all troops charge! Jung is sniping and making battlefield decisions from the rear. Ye Yun's fully equipped short sword has a simple command device. The six Zaku tanks only lasted for... 3 minutes? It perfectly recreates the scene when a Zaku was pointed at by a squad of guns during the airdrop near the North Sichuan base.

In the second phase, at 6:43, six Zeon Zakus near the fleet were destroyed. Although six more were urgently dispatched from the hangar, they still faced an overwhelming number of Federation mobile suits. However, at this point, the Federation mobile suits at the forefront had begun to circle around, preparing to engage. The six Zakus that were urgently dispatched did not last even... 2 minutes? There was no way around it; two of them were blown up in the hangar.

In the third phase, at 12:36, the third MS squadron and additional forces continued to attack and harass the Zeon fleet. The first and second MS squadrons had turned back to intercept a squadron of 12 Zaku mobile suits returning to Zeon. Jung began to lead a temporary group to approach a squadron of forces to rescue Ye Yun and his group.

During this phase of the battle, the Zeon forces held out for a long time and inflicted some casualties on the Federation forces, with four Dagger units suffering varying degrees of damage. However, faced with an overwhelming force, it was a massacre.

Phase Four! Finale! At 5:16, a squadron led by Jung arrived near Ye Yun and his group, crushing some scattered MS units along the way. Needless to say, they were still nearly three times outnumbered! Ye Yun and his two companions suffered damage to their mobile suits while fighting back against the encirclement, but there was no doubt that the Zeon forces suffered heavy casualties.

Annihilation! Not a single one escaped! All Zeon warships were sunk under the combined attack of mobile suits and Federation space fleets.

The damage was minor. At the end of the battle, the Federation forces suffered less than double digits of losses, and the warships' hulls weren't even scratched!

As for the reaction of the Federation Space Force's higher-ups after the battle...

Except for one person who was drenched in sweat, the others were all...

what?

What happened? Am I reading a novel or watching an anime? Are our MS pilots really that fierce?

So when Ye Yun arrived on the ground, the Earth Federation Space Force still hadn't released any official news, and the leaders hadn't yet recovered from the shocking results.

However, news of this battle couldn't be kept secret; it spread like wildfire throughout Luna 2 and Chabro! The only difference was the angle.

Space Force: MS Training Battalion single-handedly defeated a Zeon MS battalion and 8 battleships.

Earth Forces: Colonel Ye Yun, along with the Space Force's trainees, crushed a Zeon MS battalion and eight battleships.
