''Intelligence reports that [[Belka]] is developing [[nuclear weapon|nuclear arms]] and [[V2]], a weapon of mass destruction. The [[Allied Forces]]' top brass have decided to send troops across the Hydrian Line to check for nuclear arms and secure resource interests. Centered on the ruined base of Glatisant, the Hydrian Line, Belka's long line of defense, stretches 700 km from [[Osea]]'s southern border to the border of [[Sapin]]. Situated at the peak of [[Mount Ivrea|Mt. Ivrea]], the ruins of Glatisant have been transformed into a modern base with antiaircraft artillery and a powerful defense system. The [[Galm Team]]'s mission is to launch an aerial strike on Glatisant, opening the door to Belka for our ground troops. In all probability, this will be an extended operation. You will be able to refuel during the latter half of the mission. If you're low on fuel, temporarily withdraw from the battle and return to base. Good luck.''

==Plot==
  
−
Days after the [[Republic of Ustio]]'s liberation from [[Belkan Federation|Belkan]] control, the allied forces obtain intelligence that Belka is developing nuclear ordnance and a weapon of mass destruction, the "[[V2]]." In response, the allied command authorizes the deployment of troops at [[Glatisant]], a mountainous region in south Belka, with the goal of checking for the presence of nuclear arms and resource acquisition.
  
   
  +
==Objectives==
−
Numerous allied troops storm Glatisant in May 17, among them the [[66th Air Force Unit]]. [[Cipher]] and [[Pixy]] attack various important locations throughout the area, including anti-air fortifications and a regional command center, causing severe damage to the Belkan forces spread along the mountains. The attack leads to the collapse of the Belkans' first line of defense and the opening of an entry route into Belka for the Allies.
  
  +
The player must engage and destroy a large portion of Glatisant's defenses. Glatisant's AA GUNs and special artillery installations are very powerful and fire quite often. The player must maneuver their way around the fire to avoid taking too much damage.
−
==Trivia==
  
  +
−
*This mission is the first in ''Zero'' to include a return line.
  
  +
After the player destroys the CTRL.TOWER in the center of the map, a [[Return Line]] will appear at the bottom of the map. The player can use the Return Line to rearm their plane if they run out of ammo. At this point, the player can fly to any of the four corners of the map to continue the operation.
  +
  +
Once the player reaches the score threshold of 16,000 points, the mission automatically ends.
  +

This article is about an in-game mission. For the in-universe event, see Operation Hell Bound.

"Bastion" is the seventh campaign mission in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. The player must disable Glatisant, a massive anti-air artillery fortress.

Briefing

Intelligence reports that Belka is developing nuclear arms and V2, a weapon of mass destruction. The Allied Forces' top brass have decided to send troops across the Hydrian Line to check for nuclear arms and secure resource interests. Centered on the ruined base of Glatisant, the Hydrian Line, Belka's long line of defense, stretches 700 km from Osea's southern border to the border of Sapin. Situated at the peak of Mt. Ivrea, the ruins of Glatisant have been transformed into a modern base with antiaircraft artillery and a powerful defense system. The Galm Team's mission is to launch an aerial strike on Glatisant, opening the door to Belka for our ground troops. In all probability, this will be an extended operation. You will be able to refuel during the latter half of the mission. If you're low on fuel, temporarily withdraw from the battle and return to base. Good luck.

Objectives

The player must engage and destroy a large portion of Glatisant's defenses. Glatisant's AA GUNs and special artillery installations are very powerful and fire quite often. The player must maneuver their way around the fire to avoid taking too much damage.

After the player destroys the CTRL.TOWER in the center of the map, a Return Line will appear at the bottom of the map. The player can use the Return Line to rearm their plane if they run out of ammo. At this point, the player can fly to any of the four corners of the map to continue the operation.

Once the player reaches the score threshold of 16,000 points, the mission automatically ends.

S Rank

Earning an S rank on this mission requires completing it in 20 minutes or less.[1] It is recommended to engage the sectors at the bottom of the map since these are closest to the Return Line. This minimizes the time the player will spend flying to and from the Return Line to rearm.

Debriefing

The operation was a success. Glatisant has fallen. The Allied Forces have broken through the Hydrian Line, bringing the battle to Belka. I must inform you, however, that while you were on your mission, we received a report that the squadron attacking from Ustio's border was wiped out by a mysterious attack. We are currently investigating this incident.
