Chapter 62: Breakthrough

ZAFT forces, Boaz fortress defense line.

The Alliance's attack on the Boaz fortress was within the expectations of the ZAFT forces.

Therefore, facing the offensive of the Alliance's huge fleet, the Boaz defenders were calm and deployed their defense lines in order.

Each garrison team blocked the Alliance fleet's advance in their respective defense zones.

The MS squad sortied in full, and the fleet cooperated with the large-caliber fortress guns to deploy a dense beam barrage, providing cover for the MS squad and focusing on any Alliance warships that dared to show their heads.

The large number of ZAFT's new MS-GuAIZ equipped by the Boaz fortress were also put into actual combat on a large scale for the first time.

As a new MS equipped with beam weapons, the performance of the GuAIZ was much higher than that of the rough Strike Dagger.

Coupled with the general technical gap between Natural pilots and Coordinator pilots, each GuAIZ squad achieved good results on the front line and very tenaciously stabilized the Boaz defense line.

The Three Shuttles driving the Raider, Forbidden, and Calamity did bring considerable pressure to the Boaz defense line.

However, these three guys were like wild horses that had broken their reins after the battle started, only caring about shooting down enemy units everywhere, and could not form an effective breakthrough at all.

Dominion bridge.

"Although it has been various setbacks since the first battle, isn't it quite capable now?"

The birdman saw the Three Shuttles' results were good and evaluated them leisurely.

"All gun ports maintain fire, the Dominion continues to maintain the same formation with each ship."

Badgiruel was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to focus on commanding the battle. Although the Three Shuttles fought bravely, they could not execute tactical orders well.

After another ten minutes of painless positional warfare, although both sides had losses, the front line remained unchanged, and the Peace Maker team still had no chance to invest. The birdman patted the chair impatiently, "Haven't you opened the channel yet?"

He couldn't wait to see the light of the nuclear bomb.

That kind of beautiful light!

"Don't be impatient, Councilman, everything is still in the plan."

Badgiruel frowned, suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and comforted the birdman.

In fact, she had long been tired of the birdman's noise. Encountering this kind of government official who only knew how to talk nonsense during the battle was a disgusting thing.

But who made the birdman powerful, Badgiruel, no matter how upright and righteous, would not easily offend such a big man like a mad dog.

After waiting for a while, the birdman made a noise again, "What is the MS squad doing? Why have they been hiding in the back? That captain is the one you personally selected, Captain. Is it because you fancy his face?"

This remark was a bit too presumptuous. Even if Badgiruel heard it, she couldn't help but refute, "Councilman, please respect yourself."

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Captain Li Boyong's driving skills may not be as good as your three subordinates, but he has a very keen battlefield sense. Please believe in his tactical judgment."

"Okay, then let me wait and see."

Seeing Badgiruel speak so righteously, the birdman had to stop entangled in this topic.

MS engagement area, Li Boyong still led his MS unit to maintain an engagement distance with the ZAFT forces on the opposite side.

He always used the advantage of numbers to engage in head-on shooting with the enemy on the opposite side to reduce the gap in technical gap brought by the pilots.

Although his unit still lost two Strike Daggers, it also exchanged for a CGUE and a GINN on the opposite side. Overall, it was not a loss.

In fact, the opposite side, which was already at a disadvantage in numbers, was already difficult to block the attack of Li Boyong's unit after losing two units, but Li Boyong still did not rush to break through the defense line in front of him.

Because even if he broke through the enemy in front, it would only put his unit into the encirclement of the subsequent ZAFT garrison, which could play some role in promoting the overall battle situation, but it was to create opportunities for friendly forces at the cost of his own sacrifice.

He, who did not have much sense of belonging to the Alliance, did not have such noble sentiments.

He needs an opportunity, an opportunity to oblique the enemy formation, create a large number of results, disrupt the enemy's deployment, and retreat all over.

And where is this opportunity?

It is on the Three Shuttles that are rushing around!

Although the Three Shuttles have no tactical awareness of the battle, it is undeniable that their powerful combat power and the huge casualties they caused did indeed pull the defense line of the Boaz defenders.

Especially when the Forbidden used a twisted energy cannon to shoot down two GuAIZ and hit the engine of a Nazca-class, destroying the power of this Nazca-class, Li Boyong knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.

After the Forbidden created this gap, he didn't realize it at all, but continued to look for the next enemy.

But Li Boyong would not let go of this opportunity. He manipulated the Full Armor Dagger and began to accelerate the breakthrough, "All units follow, my unit now begins to assault the ZAFT defense line."

"Yes!"

Perhaps as Badgiruel said, Li Boyong has a keen battlefield sense. Although Li Boyong may not have realized this himself, Badgiruel concluded this through his observation all the way on the Archangel.

And now, Li Boyong's actions are demonstrating Badgiruel's conclusion.

The squad he led began to break through, shooting down two GINNs along the way and severely damaging a Laurasia-class, easily breaking through the originally very fragile defense line directly opposite.

But he did not seek the opportunity to sink the Laurasia-class, but continued to lead the unit to turn and oblique, rushing toward the Nazca-class that lost power due to being hit by the Forbidden.

The MS unit of the Nazca-class hurriedly returned to defense, and three GuAIZ and a CGUE formed a formation to meet Li Boyong's unit.

"I am responsible for the warship, and the rest is left to you."

Li Boyong manipulated the Full Armor Dagger to break through alone, and the Strike Dagger team behind him maintained the formation and provided fire cover. Any enemy unit that wanted to block the Full Armor Dagger would receive concentrated fire.

"Don't think about it."

But the ZAFT pilot is not simple. A CGUE relied on the pilot's strength to dodge all attacks and chased to the right flank of the Full Armor Dagger.

The CGUE drew the heavy blade, accelerated, and slashed at the Full Armor Dagger.

Li Boyong directly took the CGUE's slash with his shield, and at the same time kicked the CGUE's chest, changed direction to get rid of it, and at the same time, gave the CGUE a shot in the turn, hitting the cockpit directly.

The Full Armor Dagger continued to approach the Nazca-class in the explosion fire of the CGUE, facing the threat of the Full Armor Dagger, the Nazca-class also opened all the anti-aircraft firepower, trying to prevent the Full Armor Dagger from approaching.

But Li Boyong was very rational at this time, using the characteristics that the opponent lost power and even turning was very difficult.

He drove the Full Armor Dagger to draw an arc and bypassed the back of the Nazca-class.

Four five-tube rocket launchers and double missile launchers fired at the same time, full-range salvo!

Blowing the already damaged Nazca-class into a dazzling firework in space.

The Full Armor Dagger did not stop after shooting down the Nazca-class, but immediately turned back to cooperate with teammates to shoot down the remaining three GuAIZ.

Although unfortunately lost another Strike Dagger, compared to the results achieved, it is not worth mentioning.

More importantly, due to this wave of offensive by Li Boyong's unit, the defense line of the Boaz defenders actually showed a short-term shake, and a weak point that could be easily torn open as long as heavy troops were invested appeared in front of the Alliance fleet commander. ===== CHAPTER 63 =====
