UC will eventually reach the stars

"Uncertain... Judging from various pieces of evidence and information from the Federation forces, Ye Yun's target is most likely us." Kycilia's face was full of hesitation; after all, even she herself didn't quite believe this conclusion. Half of the opposing 13th Mobile Force were elite Federation troops, and the other half were former elite Zeon soldiers who had defected. Kycilia didn't know who the 13th Mobile Force might actually assassinate in a desperate attack, but if it were her in Granada...

In particular, Ye Yun could completely hand the final blow to the 666th "Demon Hunter" Squadron! This defector unit, which has a blood feud with Zeon, would absolutely not refuse this near-suicidal assault because of this hatred! As long as Ye Yun opens a breach in Granada for them, the entire 666th Squadron will rush in with the determination to perish together with her to kill her.

The combat power of Squadron 666 was truly astonishing, so astonishing that both the Zeon and Federation forces held those black-and-gray painted short swords in awe. Their frenzy yielded terrifying victories. The Federation forces seemed intent on handing over all Zeon defectors to Ye Yun's command.

Kycilia still couldn't understand one thing: Although Ye Yun had achieved amazing results in ground battles, he couldn't possibly have such strong combat power—after all, he was a commander. So why did he suddenly become so much stronger in space? It couldn't be that he mutated and became exceptionally strong in space, could it? (Ye Yun: Hmm... Newtypes are indeed stronger in space, especially since I'm piloting a Gundam.)

What exactly happened? The Zeon forces, or rather Kycilia's side, quickly pieced together the whole story. After all, Char had already submitted several reports, and Dozle had made his battle preparations based on these reports, intending to lure Ye Yun out for an ambush!

Ye Yun's purpose in going to space was to serve as a test pilot for Operation V—a fact they had already known. And now, the greatest achievement of Operation V: the RX-78-1 Gundam Unit 1, was in Ye Yun's hands.

Upon learning of this situation, Kycilia immediately ordered the intelligence department to assign a group of analysts to compile all the battle reports from this period, which led to a conclusion that left her speechless:

The good news is that Ye Yun and his men sank less than a third of the Zeon forces lost during this period. If they could have achieved that, the Federation forces would have already had Ye Yun lead a direct concentric assault on Side 3.

The bad news is that at least five M'Sai ships and more than 40 Zaku II tanks of various types were either destroyed by him or wiped out by his artillery-equipped units. The damage assessment report shows that these units were destroyed by non-naval gun-type Mega Particle weapons.

Very good, excellent, I've given up hope. While Ye Yun may not be as strong as the rumors suggest, it's a fact that he inflicted significant losses on the Zeon army after acquiring his new vehicle. The key issue is that this ferocious unit has now gone into hiding, and we don't know what they're planning.

Surely they don't actually intend to force their way into Solomon or Granada!

"We can't let him continue to run rampant in space. Dozle, you're in charge of intercepting the Federation fleet; Kycilia, this is your second chance, and I don't want to hear about this guy again." Kiran frowned. It seemed that ever since the colony crash, his name had been the source of all his troubles; he'd had enough. "Top priority! Since the Federation considers him a hero, let's fulfill the final condition for him to be a hero!"

"Yes, I understand. I will do everything in my power to capture him, and this time I will not allow him to escape back to Earth."

Chapter 173 The Burning Flames of War

Once a pyre is lit, it cannot be easily extinguished with a few handfuls of water. The suppression operation by the Space Attack Force not only failed to deter the Federation Forces, but instead was like pouring a bucket of fuel into the fire—the Federation Forces' counterattack spread rapidly, and the flames of war spread like a plague throughout the entire low orbit sphere, from Luna 2 to Solomon.

What alarmed the Zeon forces even more was that the Federation forces had also formally assembled two entire MS battalions and more than thirty warships near Luna II, displaying a posture of full readiness, as if they were ready to launch an attack at any moment, tearing a bloody path for Ye Yun, who had penetrated deep behind enemy lines, to return to Luna II.

Zeon was nearly driven mad with anxiety, but there were more than twice that number of warships engaged in fierce battles with the Zeon space fleet in space, from Luna II to Solomon, and throughout the entire low Earth orbit sphere, where the flames of war were burning fiercely.

With the battle at this point, no one would believe that Ye Yun, whom they were preparing to support, had no intention of doing anything! The Federation Space Force has gone to such lengths; to say that they weren't just going to kill a Zabi seems a bit inappropriate...

You can't say there's a more suitable target than Zabi.

Things are becoming more and more realistic, and what if it's true? If Ye Yun really goes after the lunar city, Granada, or Solomon, or even goes crazy and heads straight for Side 3, and any member of the Zabi family gets hurt, would the intelligence analyst have the guts to take responsibility? Is the household registration book match-3 game really that fun?

Looking at this answer, which seemed to suggest that "after eliminating all wrong answers, no matter how absurd the final answer is, it's best to treat it as the truth," Kycilia rubbed her temples, her face full of helplessness. She could only sigh, "These useless people actually made excuses for Ye Yun!"

The Zeon forces were well aware that the Federation forces were about to launch a series of attacks across Eurasia. In order to end the current chaos on the European battlefield, Kycilia was now vying for command of the European forces. At least once her people arrived in Europe, they would be able to roughly control the situation. This would prevent the entire European theater from being divided in terms of command, with each side ignoring the other's missions. Despite having considerable strength, the chaotic command system would lead to complete collapse. Even if Europe could not be defended, she would try her best to bring back as many veterans as possible from Europe.

But now that this has happened in the universe, Kycilia grits her teeth and realizes that she still has to deal with it.

Kycilia had studied Ye Yun's battles. Although they all seemed like reckless, risky attacks, his actions and objectives were very clear. Take the battle to capture Baikonur, for example. In Kycilia's view, Ye Yun wasn't even aiming to capture Baikonur! It was just that the Zeon commander was too incompetent. Not only was he killed the moment Ye Yun and his forces launched their attack, causing the army to lose command and ultimately collapse, which allowed Ye Yun to gain the upper hand.

Therefore, based on Kycilia's repeated assessments, Ye Yun's current goal is definitely not to launch a full-scale attack on Solomon or Granada. SIDE3 probably never even considered that Ye Yun's target should be some target that he can just reach, unless... unless he doesn't have a target at all and is just trying to attract their attention.

The moment that reason flashed through Kycilia's mind, it was dismissed. If there really was no objective, why would these Federation Space Forces go crazy for Ye Yun? What could a colonel prove, no matter how good his record was? The losses were real! No matter how you looked at it, the Federation's losses were there for all to see. Was it worth it?

"Find him! Kill him! Tell Dozru to give up on his pathetic plan; it's been easily thwarted! I will find and kill him according to the Commander-in-Chief's orders!" In the end, Kycilia thought it over and over, completely confused, and had no idea what Ye Yun's goal was. She could only order the assault mobile fleet to be deployed to search for Ye Yun's location. No matter what his purpose was, as long as he was killed, the Federation's scheme would be considered a failure.

Unaware of what was happening, her actions surprised even the high-ranking officers of the Federation Army, who had initially complained. Although the scale of the mobilization by Ye Yun and her junior officers exceeded their expectations, both of the Zeon Army's main force groups had been mobilized. What kind of diversionary tactic was this? It was almost turning into a decisive battle!

The task that Gap and Rebil originally gave Ye Yun was perfectly completed at this moment. Even a group of generals from the Federation Space Force watched as the two fleets moved, pulled, and maneuvered, as if two wolf packs were hunting each other in the night. If the other made a mistake, it would be a thunderous strike without hesitation!

The two sides fought seven battles at the fleet level over three days, and the Federation forces had gained a numerical advantage in all of them! It was clear that some combat staff officers had begun to consciously take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the Zeon forces as much as possible. This was not even related to the overall battle situation or the mission; it was a completely spontaneous action. They wanted to win!

The soldiers of the Federation Space Forces crave victory! They want to rebuild the pride of the Federation Space Forces over the corpses of Zeon! Fueled by victory after victory, their appetite grows ever larger! They crave more victories! More glorious victories!

Based on this understanding, hordes of massive steel warships, mobile suits, and space fighters, shining like stars, launched an attack on the Zeon forces!

Rebil and Gap even saw their subsequent tactical preparations, which seemed to be preparing to concentrate a group of elite troops disguised as Ye Yun's 13th Mobile Force. Then, once the Zeon army took the bait, no matter which main force it was, they would immediately take the initiative to mobilize the prepared forces to launch a pincer attack, using shock tactics to cut the Zeon army's fleet into pieces.

This group also prepared a dazzling array of mobilization orders, seemingly intending to draw all of Luna 2's Columbuses, load them with a large force, and overwhelm their prey with an overwhelming number of short swords and swordfish! Whether the prey is the Space Attack Force or the Assault Mobile Force, they don't discriminate; it's better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten. They want to achieve their goal in one fell swoop, burying a large Zeon force in this sea of ​​stars.

At this point, the strategic objectives on the ground were completely irrelevant to the colonel-level officers who were planning a large-scale battle. Using Ye Yun's name and taking advantage of their superior's absence, this group, driven by blood feuds, honor, or ambition, were preparing to take up arms and win a glorious victory over the Zeon forces before the Earth forces could.

After discussing the matter with Reibille and the other Federation Space Force generals, including Tiam, Reibille shook his head at Gap, who was somewhat tempted. If their plan were followed, the Federation Space Force could indeed cripple the Zeon forces. However, Reibille had to ask, "And then what? What price would the Federation have to pay?"

Given the current state of the Federation Forces—lacking manpower and technology, and even with unresolved issues like insufficient MS pilot training—how many sacrifices will they have to make for this victory?! Are they just going to retreat back into Luna 2 after giving Zeon a sound beating, just like before?

This will greatly affect the Federation Army's subsequent plans...

After all, Reibill and Gap knew very well that once the ground battle ended, the ground forces' mobile suit units would select elites and send them to space for corresponding conversion training.

Yeh's Heavy Industries has even prepared the corresponding conversion training software and procedures. As long as the Federation forces follow the steps, ground MS pilots can be converted into space MS pilots in just two weeks. What's more, because of the inheritance between the Dagger and the Dagger 105, the Federation forces hardly need to consider the differences between the two types of MS. MS pilots of both types can undergo the same training subjects together.

The only problem is how many high-mobility backpacks and artillery backpacks they can get, because the Earth Forces know very well that once these are sent up, they are absolutely irretrievable, so they are unwilling to let them go. Of course, this has nothing to do with the operations staff; they only need to write down the number of artillery backpacks and high-mobility backpacks they think they need in the plan.

It's like the decisive battle currently being planned in the European theater. The operations staff wrote in the operational plan that "the number of flight backpacks required should not be less than 1000." Anyway, it was the logistics department that went to Yeh's Heavy Industries to make demands and then argued with the engineers in charge of production at Yeh's Heavy Industries. The specific number of land-based high mobility backpacks that could be obtained was naturally summarized in eight words: "No upper limit, the more the better."

In any case, once the training is completed, the Federation Army will be able to obtain overwhelming forces. At that time, launching an attack will be like a tsunami, sweeping away all resistance from the Zeon army. No matter how Zeon changes its tactics, the outcome will be the same for them!

Why launch a decisive battle of this scale when we are not prepared? It would be a waste to lose excellent crew members, commanders, MS pilots, and pilots.

Therefore, Rebil decisively issued an order to stop this unrestricted and ever-expanding action. However, he did confirm that the fleet, which was composed of countless orders and was preparing to support Ye Yun, had issued an order: Magellan-class, join the fleet!

Beneath the surface of this unexpected battle, in a forgotten land, massive amounts of supplies were being continuously transported from Asia by trains running on the steel artery. In the helpless eyes of the Zeon forces in the European and African theaters, the scales were steadily tipping towards the Federation.

Ye Yun, having completely severed communication with his rear, silently sailed deep into the rear of the Zeon forces. In this state of complete ignorance, he headed towards the Gwajin-class battleship, which also appeared somewhat lonely due to the redeployment of its escorts.

Chapter 174 Whaling

"Frontline report, we've spotted it!" Captain White said softly, his tone filled with an indescribable excitement. Who would have thought that there would be a Gewakin with insufficient escort in the Low Earth Orbit?!

"Coordinates received!" Ye Yun, who was pretending to sleep in the lounge, laughed. Although the Zeon army was very cautious, the assembly point of the guards was not the exact location of Gwakin. Obviously, they would need to reach this location to make specific contact with the Gwakin-class battleship and then fly over to meet up.

Although Ye Yun and his team really wanted to disguise themselves as Zeon soldiers to trick the Gwagin-class into revealing its identity, their hardware didn't allow it, and they didn't have many of the identification codes. If they alerted the enemy and the Gwagin realized something was wrong, it could turn around and head towards A.B.W.K. or the moon, and then everything would be over!

In order to successfully capture the "Orca," Ye Yun and his team, who were keeping their communications silent, were unaware of the escalating battle outside.

The girl didn't actually know the other party's exact coordinates. She only knew that this Gwakin was theoretically intended to be the flagship of Karma Zabi. Since Karma Zabi was the commander-in-chief of the Earth Attack Force, the Gwakin-class battleship, named "Gwame," underwent special modifications to enable it to operate within the atmosphere. This voyage was also to test the final results of the modifications!

(Don't ask, that's just how it is. The Zeon military's technical department is just that crazy. They used a Gwakin-class battleship for experiments. The original design didn't mention whether it was intended to be assigned to Kalma, but it did disintegrate at an altitude of 30000 meters during an atmospheric reentry experiment, and the wreckage fell into the Atlantic Ocean.)

A Gwajin suspected of possessing aerospace capabilities?

The absurd feeling made Ye Yun's facial muscles twitch for a moment, forcing out a strange expression.

"I can only say that it's a bit hard to imagine..." Captain White himself didn't know how to put it. As the captain of a warship, Captain White actually felt a little ashamed when discussing this issue with Ye Yun. After all, the question was so stupid that Captain White found it difficult to talk about.

Gwajin's design is a spaceship through and through. If even a gram of its weight had been considered for its use in both air and space, it would be disrespectful to its shape (the white base, after all, still has wings...).

So what can Captain White say? Zeon, whatever makes you happy!

However, for Ye Yun and his group, whether or not they could enter the atmosphere and fly was completely unimportant! What mattered was that this was a Gewakin-class battleship! Sinking it would be a huge boost to the morale of the Federation forces. They could even say that they thought there was a Zabi inside and that they had only accidentally hit a secondary vehicle!

If we could capture this warship...

Well, Ye Yun hasn't thought about it yet, since he doesn't have a strong marine corps or enough crew to forcibly seize a huge Gewakin-class battleship...

Not to mention Ye Yun, even Captain White hadn't considered the relevant issues, because from any perspective, it was simply too crazy.

"Attention all ships! This ship is now entering combat readiness. This ship is preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Gwakin-class battleship. MS squadron, advance covertly first. All ships, remain silent and await Ye Yun's attack signal before entering the fray!" As Captain White's voice echoed within the ship, Ye Yun grabbed his helmet and rushed out of the bridge, his eyes filled with naked killing intent.

He said he wanted to kill every Zabi, and the Gewakin-class battleship, the embodiment of Zeon and Zabi, well... it's the ultimate substitute!

Behind him, Gao Long silently pulled up the straps of his spacesuit, then took out his helmet and put it on. His already stern face now had an even more chilling air about it. He nodded to Nores, who also had a serious expression, and then floated out of the lounge.

As Gao Long was leaving, he saw Aina float up and hug Ye Yun. The two, wearing spacesuits, had their helmets close together, seemingly whispering something. Gao Long knew without guessing that Aina was reminding Ye Yun to be careful and not to rush too hard later.

Before reaching the hangar, the two parted ways. Aina would take the remaining short swords and battleships as part of the second wave of attack after Ye Yun and his team dispersed the Zeon mobile suit forces. Once they had suppressed the surrounding battleships and mobile suits, Ye Yun and the other first batch of short swordsmen would begin their attack on the Gewakin-class battleships.

"Commander Ye Yun, all weapons have been fully loaded with ammunition and energy, and the fuel is full. All consumables are brand new." The ground crew quickly reported the situation to Ye Yun in front of the Gundam's cockpit. Before Ye Yun left Side 7, whether it was out of gratitude for Ye Yun helping them suppress the huge scandal of Operation V, or because Ye Yun's suggestions were indeed very useful, Gao Yun replenished Ye Yun with an excessive amount of spare parts for the Gundam Unit 1 that Ye Yun was piloting.

"Okay, thank you very much!" Ye Yun jumped into the cockpit, then started the Gundam Unit 1. The control interface, which he knew all too well, allowed Ye Yun to pilot the Gundam off the maintenance platform and take two rocket launchers and a beam rifle from the weapon rack next to it.

After multiple test flights, Gundam Unit 1 has now been able to complete the operating system flashing under the remote operation of Ye's Heavy Industry's program engineers. The system version that Ye Yun is now using is synchronized with the Short Sword 105 that Ye Yun previously piloted. However, due to some hardware incompatibility, some software modules are still disabled.

For example, the most popular flight attitude assist control for the Dagger 105 is currently unusable because of data mismatch. This bug needs to be fixed after Ye Yun sends Gundam Unit 1 back to Ye's Heavy Industries so that the engineers can conduct detailed tests before the software can be adapted. But that's a story for another time.

"Gundam Unit 1, Ye Yun, launch!" Ye Yun, standing steadily on the catapult, solemnly reported the situation to the catapult command center.

"Victory! Colonel Ye Yun, launch!" With the blessing and command from the launch control room, the electromagnetic catapult beneath Gundam Unit 1 propelled the Gundam, giving Ye Yun an extremely high initial velocity. After the modifications, the Trafalgar-class mobile suits no longer needed to awkwardly cling to the catapult for launch; a dedicated catapult allowed the mobile suit to be launched steadily.

Ye Yun turned his head slightly and saw that the 666 Squadron's Short Sword 105s were being launched one by one on the other track. Behind Ye Yun, Gao Long and the others had also been launched into the air.

"All aircraft, fly silently and maintain course!" Before ejection, Trafalgar had already adjusted its orientation based on the acquired coordinates. After ejection, it would maintain its course, fly silently without using afterburners. This was possible because reports from the front indicated significant interference during reconnaissance; initial information transmission was completely blocked. It was deduced that the enemy had dispersed Minovsky particles, and estimated that they had dispersed them at a very high concentration.

To be honest, if it were just a space experiment, they shouldn't have conducted such a battle deployment. This strange operation left Ye Yun and the others looking at each other in bewilderment, as none of them really understood the necessity of doing this.

You agree, right, the Federation Space Forces are already bloodthirsty.

However, this also made it easier for Ye Yun and his team to launch a surprise attack. Although the enemy did not have a large force protecting them, they were still escorted by four M'Sai and one Chibe, and it was estimated that the number of escorting mobile suits was no less than 20. If we include the battle in which Mia Brinkman was captured, and the Zeon forces that Ye Yun and his team had dealt with, who were originally supposed to be joining up, the escort force of this Gwakin-class battleship was quite powerful.

But now, the pressure has gone from immense to moderate. It has to be said that Ye Yun and this Gevakin are truly destined for each other.

"At a distance of 104000, the other side hasn't arranged any long-range defenses at all. That's really interesting." Ye Yun muttered to himself. In silent flight, without even turning on the thrusters, how could they possibly open communication channels?

Ye Yun asked himself, if he were the commander of this Gewajin escort fleet, he would definitely set up a perimeter of about ten kilometers around it, so that if they were really attacked, they would have some time to be alert. But now it seems that the other side is not on guard at all.

Because radar may be interfered with by Minovsky particles, but not by the naked eye, it is important to have multiple warning lines.

As the image of the other party within sight gradually became clearer after being magnified, a red dot appeared directly on the main screen. This very conspicuous red dot was then continuously magnified until it was roughly one centimeter long, at which point it could be recognized as a warship.

At this moment, Ye Yun suddenly sensed a panic rising from the other side, growing more intense and clearer. "They've discovered us!" Ye Yun broke the radio silence. "All units, ignite the thrusters! Let's completely destroy this Zabi family's big toy!" The thruster levers were pushed all the way down, the thrusters ignited, and the enormous thrust propelled Gundam Unit 1, which began to accelerate rapidly.

Meanwhile, on the other side, feelings of surprise and fear began to flood Ye Yun's mind. Clearly, everyone had seen the twenty-odd huge tail flames that suddenly lit up. How could they not understand what had happened the moment they saw the optical system magnify them?

"Short Sword B squadron, the 666th squadron with its gray-black paint scheme! It's Ye Yun! Ye Yun and his men are here!" A terrified shout rang out on the bridge of the Chibe-class ship, and the sword of Damocles that had been hanging over them for days suddenly came crashing down!

Chapter 175: Is it a matter of changing homes?

"Captain Bahurst! Has a battle broken out in the direction of the fleet?" A mobile suit pilot in a Zaku II High Mobility Type looked at the direction of the fleet in the distance with some doubt. Logically speaking, their secret experiment should be about to begin, so they concentrated their mobile suit units to patrol the area again to see if any uncooperative Federation forces would come up to them!

After all, according to the intelligence they received, both the Federation Forces and the Zeon Forces were carrying out large-scale sabotage operations in space. So they were worried that the Federation Forces might suddenly rush over and launch an attack. However, they did not find anything along the way (the Gundam Unit 1 and Dagger 105 piloted by Ye Yun and his team did not ignite their thrusters, so their flight paths were not obvious).

"All ships, return to base! The testing grounds have been attacked!" Baherst made the judgment almost immediately and led his men toward Gwajin. After all, it was a powerful warship that was a symbol of the Zeon army, and whether it was for duty or for some other reason, they could not accept any loss to such a warship.

But unsurprisingly, an accident occurred on their way back.

"Captain! A large flight path has appeared on the left! I estimate there are 5 warships and MS12 aircraft." During the flight, a Zaku 2F on the far left of the formation suddenly noticed that another flight path had suddenly appeared on their other side. He nervously took a few more glances and, after confirming that it was real, hurriedly reported it.

At his command, the Zeon patrol mobile suits, which had been rushing back, suddenly came to a complete stop, all turning their gazes toward the fleet. Then, to their horror, they discovered tiny, scorching trails of flame on the other side of space.

Baherst felt a chill run down his spine. There was no doubt that the Federation forces had not launched an attack, but had already gained a significant advantage on the other side of the battlefield, and then the Federation forces on this side began to advance! Preparing to deliver the final blow to the Zeon forces on the other side.

"They just hid here, and we almost missed them." All the Zeon pilots felt a chill run down their spines. In this environment with such a high concentration of Minovsky particles, radar was completely unreliable. They could only rely on their traditional four eyes to find their targets. If the Federation warships hadn't ignited their thrusters, they might have had to get very close to detect the Federation fleet.

"It looks like the enemy's attack force is quite large!" Baherst realized the situation almost immediately. The enemy had clearly launched an attack, and the Federation force that had set sail right next to them, based on the Federation's current combat tactics, was most likely the main fleet leading escorting MS forces to launch a fatal blow to the test site!

After all, this tactic had proven effective time and again, and even the Zeon forces began to adopt it, resulting in frequent close-quarters combat between the two sides' warships...

“…” Baherst glanced at the test site in the distance, took a deep breath, and said, “We can’t let the two Federation forces join forces! We’ll attack the Federation fleet now. I’ll hold off their mobile suit forces, and you guys concentrate your attacks on their warships! Remember! Prioritize attacks on ships with strong anti-ship firepower!”

In Baherst's view, even if the Federation's MS forces possessed a certain anti-ship combat capability, the Gvakin was, after all, a heavily armored battleship. These Federation bastards thinking they could destroy the Gvakin with just a few rocket launchers was simply delusional! As for the gun arsenals that the other side boasted about, in his opinion, they were at most 1-2MW toys, and it was simply impossible for them to penetrate the Gvakin's thick armor layers.

It was the large-caliber mega particle cannons and large missile launchers on these warships that were capable of sinking the Gwajin-class battleships.

"Yes!" More than a dozen Zaku tanks immediately responded, adjusted their flight, and rushed towards the Federation fleet.

"Zeon forces! MS squadrons, prepare for engagement! Anti-aircraft nets, fire! MS squadrons, maintain distance, do not stray far from the warships!" Captain White quickly issued orders over the communications, then paused for a moment. Before Ye Yun left, he had instructed Aina to take charge of the remaining MS units. Now the entire fleet was under the command of the 13th Mobile Fleet, and even though it was a temporary assignment, Ye Yun still had command authority.

"Understood, Captain White, please be careful!" Aina naturally understood that Captain White's order was not wrong. Many Federation MS pilots were full of enthusiasm but lacked overall tactical awareness. After all, they were not taught this without regular MS training. They only needed to learn squad-level MS tactical coordination, which would be enough.

As for the tactical coordination between MS and battleships, and between MS and battleships in large-scale fleet battles, sorry, given the current shortage of MS pilots in the Federation Forces, it's not that the Federation Forces don't want to teach this. In fact, Ye Yun's side has probably already completed the teaching framework. All that's needed is for the staff officers to fill in the gaps. It's just that the current state of war makes it impossible for the Federation Forces to have the time to carefully train MS pilots. They can only let the MS pilots learn on their own during the war.

However, there is some good news: Zeon is not teaching anymore, or at least they have begun to stop teaching.

As Ye Yun's girlfriend and a Federal Military Academy-level officer who had served as acting commander at the Dhaka base, Aina knew very well that Captain White's words were not about seizing command authority, but rather a warning to any rookies in the team.

During fleet battles, interception at medium and long ranges is basically entirely handled by battleships (of course, the outermost ring should theoretically also be intercepted by MS). Only at close range is interception carried out by MS, because at this stage, battleships cannot use many weapons due to the need to consider friendly fire, so it reverts to MS and fighters dispersing enemy MS attacks.

"Be careful not to get shot down by their mobile suits!" Baherst maneuvered his highly maneuverable Zaku, increasing its speed in the air while constantly performing maneuvers to evade potential attacks from the Federation forces. After all, compared to attacks from mobile suits, attacks from warships were obviously more lethal. Whether it was the Mega Particle Cannon, large anti-aircraft missiles, or even close-in weapon systems, their firepower was formidable. If the Zaku tried to take the hits head-on, it would be directly blasted to pieces.

The Salamis-class, already in combat mode, immediately turned all their firepower towards the approaching Zeon mobile suits the moment they detected them, unleashing a barrage of bullets at the Zaku that were charging towards them.

What made Baherst feel slightly lucky was that there were only two Salamis-class light carriers here, as well as one Trafalgar-class aircraft carrier, which was quite famous in the Federation Forces. As the flagship of the Federation Space Forces that won the battle in the low Earth orbit, this carrier, or rather this class of carriers, had been given a lot of publicity.

Therefore, Baherst immediately determined that the enemy's forces were roughly no more than a reinforced squadron-sized force, and that there were nearly ten aircraft in front of him. His teammates still maintained a numerical advantage, so their pressure was not too heavy.

"Concentrate all firepower! The enemy has heavy armor short swords, give them to me! Zakus without anti-ship equipment, engage all Federation mobile suits!" Watching the dazzling hail of bullets, Baherst continuously maneuvered his mobile suit, maximizing the speed advantage of the highly mobile Zaku, while shouting a warning to his subordinates! At this moment, they must focus on the target!

His idea was simple: this was in Zeon's controlled territory, or even deep within their territory, otherwise their testing grounds wouldn't be here.

Therefore, as long as they can damage a few enemy warships, these Federation warships have a chance to retreat for safety! In this way, they can directly encircle the Federation MS forces at the front (because of the high concentration of Minovsky particles, he does not know the situation on the other side, and can only infer the scale of the attack on which side of the test field was attacked based on the situation on this side).

"Only one aircraft was shot down! The enemy looks like they're all veterans, working in pairs! One at a time! Remember not to block your own ship's gun fire!" Aina looked at the Zaku aircraft group navigating through the dense barrage of bullets, her eyes filled with seriousness. Aina knew that even she would find it extremely difficult to break through such a dense barrage. Although the enemy had also lost some aircraft, it was only one Zaku, which was really not much of a challenge for the assault group in front of her.

Aina pushed the lever, giving a final command over the communication, igniting the thrusters of the high-mobility backpack, and took the initiative to meet the attack.
