"General, the Federation fleet is beginning to retreat," said Dozru's staff officer, "what are we going to do." ”

Dozru didn't reply, he stood in the command seat of Gilguray, his hands gripping the railing tightly, his brow furrowed.

Why did Thiam suddenly retreat, Dozru couldn't help but feel a little confused, could it be that his own tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements were exposed.

That's right, encirclement and reinforcements, in this battle, Dozru's fleet is not the main force, on the contrary, he is just a decoy, he will be used as a shining decoy to lure Reybir's main force to SIDE5, and then the MS troops concentrated on the moon will launch a surprise attack, annihilating one of them in one fell swoop, so as not to enter the last thing Zeon wants to see, that is, a head-on battle with the main force of Rebir who is on guard.

Regarding this operation, the Military Command Department of the Zeon Commander-General's Office put forward the following opinions:

1. The Space Assault Force fleet led by Vice Admiral Dozru Zabi will serve as a feint force for this operation.

2. The key to the battle is to surprise the main fleet of the Federation Space Force led by Vice Admiral Abraham Rebil with superior MS troops.

3. The Space Attack Force Fleet led by Vice Admiral Dozru Zabi must exert constant pressure on the Third Fleet of the Federal Space Force led by Vice Admiral Matifa Tiam, in order to create the illusion that Rum is the main direction of our army's attack.

For this purpose, the MS forces under Dozru have been concentrated on the moon, and at the moment, except for a very small number of MS (such as his guards), he only has a seemingly magnificent fleet, and there are no MS troops available at all.

Encirclement and reinforcements, the tactics adopted by Zeon seem simple, but it is not easy to study the inside.

How do you convince Rebiel and his team that the main force of the Zeon Army is indeed in Rum?

How to hide the actual whereabouts of the MS troops?

How do you prevent Tiam, who is directly confronting the Cosmic Attack Army, from discovering the flaw and then warning him?

All the things Zeon has done, all the secrets that happen behind the scenes, this book can only scratch the surface.

Dozru couldn't help but wonder what was wrong, what was the flaw, or if someone had leaked the information to the Federation?

This is not impossible, just as Zeon has infiltrated the Federation and sieve, the Federation also has a lot of pawns within Zeon, although the specific planning of this battle has been kept as secret as possible, and even the officers of all ranks did not learn the details of the battle until they left Solomon Fortress.

But it's still not without the possibility of leaks.

After all, the enemy in war is by no means only the soldiers on the other side.

"Any news on the moon? Where did Rybil go? He asked the staff officer in charge of intelligence in the staff committee.

"Huh? This one....... The other party was a little caught off guard by the sudden question, and hurriedly said: "Our army received the last contact in the direction of the lunar surface before entering the Rum Domain。。。。。。。 ”

"How?"

"Confirm that the Rybil fleet is leaving the lunar orbit and is still two hours away from the predetermined position!"

"Two hours 。。。。。。。" He gritted his teeth.

Normally, this is just a little time that can be killed by playing with Minerva, but now it is as long as a hundred years.

"Let's also move forward, bite the Federation fleet, and can't let them get away!" Dozlu ordered loudly.

In any case, now I have to bite the bullet.

That's right, even if it's for Senna and Minerva.

Rebir must misjudge where Zeon's true main force is, and let him rush to the aid of the 'fierce' Rum Domain.

For this purpose, no matter how much sacrifice is made, it is worth it.

"The whole fleet is on!"

The Space Attack Force that received the order began to pursue the slowly retreating Federation Fleet at Dozru's request, and the first mobile fleet of Spee was still at the head.

By this time, Spee had already transferred to the Gneisenau, and Scharnhorst had to withdraw from the battle line due to heavy losses, which may have been lucky enough given the tragic fate of the historical battleship of the same name that sank into the Winter Sea.

At this moment, on the Gneisenau, the officers and men of the Zeon Army are raising their arms and chanting, the slogan of Long Live Zeon is endless, unlike the top echelons of the army like Dozru, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, Thiam's order fleet is not some conspiracy, but has to flee in embarrassment under their own hard work, for which they temporarily forget the heavy price paid by their own fleet, forget the embarrassment of being on par with the Federation Army despite the numerical superiority of losses, and only cheer for their own victory.

There are not many people who know that their fleet is not the main force, but just a decoy, only the leadership of each warship, in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, as said before the war, the battle of Rum is the final blow to the Earth Federation, and now that they have repelled Thiam, the war is almost half won.

With this optimism, the 1st Mobile Fleet went deep into SIDE5.

And nothing happened.

With the exception of the somewhat sparse Union fleet artillery fire in the distance, which was seen by the Zeon soldiers as a sign of the Federation's fear, the First Mobile Fleet entered SIDE5 without any problems.

The Gneisenau is a large warship with a total length of 319.9 meters, second only to the 440-meter-long Gvarkin-class battleship and the 327-meter-long Magellan-class battleship among the existing military ships of mankind.

The reason for this is that the island-type colonies around the battleship are a little too small compared to the island-type colonies with a length of nearly 40 kilometers, and the cylindrical colonies are suspended in the universe like this, unlike the fully enclosed satellites of SIDE3 that cannot see the inside and look dead from the outside, the colonies of SIDE5 are all semi-enclosed colonies. The abundant vegetation that can never be seen in SIDE3, these small worlds created by humans are almost miracles of the gods.

There were dozens of such colonies, and when these behemoths were scattered around the battleship, the almost dazzling scenery gave the violent beauty of the Zeon officers and soldiers who were deeply trapped in it.

"It's amazing。。。。。。" I don't know who muttered to himself, and no one had the time to pay attention to him, because the other soldiers were equally moved.

Because unlike destruction, this is the power of human creation.

Even Spee himself was immersed in this kind of emotion, but fortunately, unlike ordinary soldiers who may not have been out of SIDE3 in their entire lives due to immigration law restrictions, Spee himself came from a wealthy family, and he stayed here when he went to study on Earth in the past, but he quickly sobered up.

"Wake up," perhaps he had experienced this in the past, Spee's words of reprimand, but there was no blame in his tone, only a reminder: "We are still fighting." ”

"If you want to see it, you can watch it for as long as the battle is over."

Hearing his words, the Zeon officers and soldiers present were somewhat ashamed, and they returned to their posts, forcing themselves not to care about the beauty that was close at hand, but to concentrate on the battle.

However, in reality, this is not possible.

By the time the battle is over, this scene will be lost forever in the world.

Ordinary soldiers may not know that SIDE5 may be left behind, because if they win this battle, Zeon will completely defeat the Federation, and there is no need to destroy SIDE5.

But this is not possible, SIDE5 must be destroyed, because as long as it still exists, the advantage of its geographical location determines that it will always be the center of the geosphere, which is intolerable to Zeon who is trying to concentrate the center of the cosmic colony in SIDE3.

Even if SIDE1, SIDE2, or even SIDE7, another industrial center conceived by the Federation, were retained, Zeon would not be able to let SIDE5 go.

The fate of the colony was already sealed.

The talents created by human beings are close to those of gods, but the talents they destroy may still be above creation.

———— Dividing Line————

At the same time, at Miranda's airport, unlike the Zeon officers and soldiers, who were amazed by the beauty of human creation, the federal officers and soldiers were filled with the urge to destroy.

"The order to attack has been given, and all pilots are making final preparations!"

"Your mission is to storm Zeon's fleet of ships and sink them!"

"The survival of this colony depends on whether you can complete the mission and fight hard!"

"Long live the Federation!"

"Long live the Federation!!" "Not only the pilots, but everyone present shouted in unison, for them, Thiam's order to fly the team to attack meant that the survival of the fleet, and even the survival of the colony, was in their own hands.

In addition, there are large and small chaotic shouts, such as '/die Zeon' and the like, in this atmosphere, Captain Johnny Johnson is saying his final goodbye to his men, and when he gets on the plane to attack, the extremely high concentration of Minovsky particles in the Rum Universe will disable the communication equipment on the fighter jet, and everyone will be like an island in the sea and will not be able to get in touch with anyone, so they can only fight alone, if they don't say goodbye now, it is difficult to say whether there will be a chance in the future.

At this moment, a man stopped him: "Captain Johnson! ”

Johnny Johnson subconsciously turned his head to see that it was the previous major of the federal army, and he said to Johnson with an iron face: "My side has been prepared, and you can leave the port at any time." ”

With that, he was ready to turn around and leave.

Johnson hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Major! Please wait a moment! ”

“？” The Major turned his head in confusion, he didn't know what the other party had to say to him.

"Before。。。。。。 I'm very sorry, I'm too anxious," Johnson said in a tangled voice, "Please forgive me." ”

"Well," the Major understood what Johnson wanted to say, looked at his embarrassed face, smiled wryly and said, "Don't care, I know you have no ill intentions." ”

"Even so。。。。。。。"

"Well," interrupted the Major, "if you want to apologize, kill a few more Zeons, and I'll forgive you." ”

"Yes, Major!" Johnson saluted and said, "I'm sure I'll hit Zeon and regret why I was born into the world." ”

"Come on, Captain, avenge our dead brothers." The major seemed to think of his own brother who had died tragically, and his face was a little gloomy.

He saluted Johnson in return and turned away, Johnson watched him go, then turned to his men and said, "Get on the plane, let's go!" ”

"Avenge the death of your brothers!"
