Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1798: Request for Support
"All troops enter the second-level combat configuration. All departments return to their positions immediately. Mobile suits board and stand by! I repeat, all troops enter the second-level combat configuration..."

"The weapon system is online, the secondary guns have finished charging, and the [Porcupine Formation] close defense matrix has entered fully automatic interception mode..."

"The radar detection system has responded. A flock of strange birds has been spotted at coordinate F83. There are more than 3000 of them, and they are moving away from us quickly..."

"Dendrobium Squadron, Chimera Squadron, Sea Snake Squadron, please go out and carry out the reconnaissance mission..."

"Dor, Dis, Offa, attack, quickly suppress City 36, [Xuanwu-class] Ships 1 and 2, [White Tiger-class] Ships 1, 2, and 3, [Suzaku-class] Ship 1, follow up, and establish a forward position."

"Understood!"XN
As soon as they entered Izelkanda's sphere of influence, Gerhardt immediately gave orders and the Third Fleet immediately entered a state of combat readiness. They encountered attacks from mutant creatures many times along the way, but no matter how mutated they were, they were still animals and it was their instinct to avoid danger and seek good fortune. The deterrence brought by such a large fleet was naturally not comparable to that of a few MSs and submarines such as [Dominieren (Dominion)]. Every time they encountered the mutant creatures, they would take the initiative to avoid them and dare not provoke them.

At the same time, Gerhart abided by the action plan issued by Promise, first establishing a forward position, and then dividing the troops to radiate outward, swallowing up all the territories of the current forces bit by bit.

"Lord Gerhart, the Sea Serpent Squadron was attacked by armed scavengers. All of them have been wiped out. We are waiting for further instructions." Fram reported to Gerhart.

“Have the records been sent back?”

“It’s all on the big screen.”

Gerhard watched the entire battle carefully and immediately came to several conclusions.

First, the scavengers’ weapons and equipment were very simple, but they had rockets, missile vehicles, and even a few tanks, which were obviously beyond the level that the scavengers could achieve.

Second, although the surface of these weapons has been processed, it can be seen at a glance that these weapons and equipment are not old, and the flaws in camouflage reveal their newness.

Third, this group of scavengers did not encounter the Sea Snake Squadron by chance, but had set up an ambush circle early in the morning and even deployed a large-scale minefield and firepower network.

This shows that the attack was not accidental, but everything had been arranged long ago, waiting for them to take the bait. There must be someone supporting these scavengers.

"Order the Dendrobium Squadron and the Chimera Squadron to slow down their advance. If they are attacked, they will be destroyed on the spot."

"learn."

As expected, not long after the order was issued, the other two reconnaissance squadrons were attacked by the scavenger group, and even the Sea Snake Squadron, which had just been attacked, was attacked a second time.

"Is there any situation over there?"

"General Dole has led his troops into City 36. It is expected that the complete suppression will be completed in fifteen minutes!"

"Defeat them one by one and consume their manpower..." Gerhart understood that these scavenger groups must have the support of Izelkanda, and they had set up ambushes in advance. They did not attack the vanguard and main forces at all, but only targeted the reconnaissance forces with weak combat effectiveness and small numbers. The purpose was quite obvious.

"The fleet is accelerating. The reconnaissance squadron is maintaining a distance of 10 kilometers from the fleet and is not allowed to go too deep."

"learn."

When the Third Fleet arrived at City 36, the entire city had been suppressed. The Marines landed inside the city and cleaned up the residents inside, while searching for the black box in the core of the city. "Lord Gerhardt." Dor Frost and the other two returned to the ship, and Gerhardt gave positive praise. The damage to the city was not great, which might be because the city did not have many guards and was not an important core city, so it was not difficult to take it down.

"Dor, Dieter, Offa, after the frontline positions are built, you will lead your men to cities 35, 37, and 38 to suppress the rebellion."

"Lord Gerhard, we can set off now." Dol Frost asked. The previous battle did not consume much of their energy, so there would be no problem in fighting another one immediately.

"Don't be anxious, Dor." Gerhardt persuaded Dor, "The instructions given above are to proceed step by step. Although these cities do not need to be occupied, the core black box is very critical. Don't lose the big picture for the small one."

"I'm sorry, Lord Gerhart, I was too impatient." Dol Frost also knew that he was too impatient and quickly bowed his head to apologize.

"It's okay, Dole. Keep a good attitude. This long war is about to end, but the more so, the less anxious we should be. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"Fram, call Promise and hope to get support from other fleets." Just as Gerhart said, the closer it gets to the final moment, the less anxious you should be. Izelkanda's sphere of influence is not small. It is absolutely impossible to completely suppress it with just a reorganized fleet, so he will not be blinded by Izelkanda's existence.

"It has been reported, Lord Gerhardt. Promis has called back and said that the 19th, 20th, and 21st fleets are on their way. After Gihren Zabi's sphere of influence is completely suppressed, the 7th and 8th fleets will also come to reinforce."

"Well, speed up the construction of the position and make sure it is completed before the support fleet arrives!"

"Understood!"XN
……

"Has City 36 fallen?" Izelkanda maintained the same posture and looked down at the city.

"Yes, they were crushed with ease. They had no ability to resist at all. The encirclement we set up in advance did not hurt them at all." The adjutant reported truthfully.

"That group of hyenas, we didn't expect them to achieve any results." Izelkanda sneered twice. He supported the scavenger group to ambush the Promise Legion from behind. He never thought that they could succeed from the beginning. Not to mention that he underestimated them, he simply looked down on them, a group of hyenas.

Izelkanda's real purpose is to delay the pace of the Promise Legion and wait for the experiment to be completed. As long as the experiment is completed, he will have the capital to fight against the Promise Legion. Not to mention victory, at least he will have the capital for negotiations. As long as he can sit at the negotiating table, the possibility of that operation will be greater.

"How is the progress of the experiment?" asked Izelkanda.

"It's almost done. The test data provided by Gillian Zabi is very important. It contains exactly the part we are missing. It is expected to be completed within a week and a perfect test subject can be produced within a month."

"Too long. Complete the experiment within three days and produce the experimental subjects within a week. I require an army of experimental subjects within a month."

"Lord Izelkanda, this is too difficult..."

“Will the other party give us time?”

"……I see."
