When the federal forces in the crater were ambushed and suffered heavy casualties, the remaining 1st Squadron and 3rd Squadron were also fiercely attacked by the enemy.

"It's as if the enemy is falling from the sky, and our detectors don't react at all."

"They're ghosts, and I swear, these rebels aren't just idle."

Two surviving soldiers of the Xuanwu detachment said after the battle.

But the current captain of the first squadron is too busy to find time to study how the other party appeared. According to computer estimates, there is at least one division around them, although the opponent does not have much standard individual armor, and it is difficult to defend against the laser rifles in the hands of federal soldiers with ordinary spacesuits alone, but the opponent has twenty eighty-two mm mortars, even if the mortar is a very old weapon, the power of the explosion cannot be ignored.

The third squad only had more than 100 people, and it could only rely on the defensive fortress surrounded by five landing ships, and the "heavy" firepower was only a small laser cannon on each landing ship and a very small number of weapons of mass destruction carried by the soldiers themselves. But they need to face rebel soldiers who are nearly a hundred times larger than themselves. What's even more terrifying is that when the messenger wants to notify the fleet to request reinforcements, the stabbing sound from the communicator indicates that they have lost contact with the fleet, and the only way is to wait for the fleet to take the initiative to reinforce them.

"Don't panic, we can hold on. You two, fire four red flares to the east to tell the fleet that we need support. The captain of the first squadron gritted his teeth, all he could do now was to boost morale, so that the soldiers would believe that reinforcements would definitely arrive, and Colonel Keitel would definitely finish cleaning up the enemy troops as soon as possible and come back for reinforcements, but in fact, he didn't know that the second, third, and fourth squadrons had actually been wiped out, and Keitel was also deep in the crater, still waiting for their support.

The rebels attacked the position of the third squad from four directions at the same time, and the shells fired by twenty mortars whistled and exploded in the cylinder formation of the landing ship, and the fragments from the explosion crackled on the individual armor of the soldiers, causing sparks to splash on the soldiers' bodies, and the shock wave of the explosion overturned several soldiers guarding the landing ship. Two unlucky soldiers were hit directly in the head by a cannonball, and even special individual armor could not save the entire corpse of the soldier.

While the third squad was busy dodging the artillery fire, the rebel infantry took advantage of the situation to surround them, but fortunately, the landing ship was still solid in the end, and even if it was directly hit by a shell, it would only scrape off a layer of paint on the surface, leaving a small hole. Although the landing ship does not have weapons of mass destruction, the supercomputer it carries can kill any enemy at the moment it emerges, and the extremely fast rate of fire of small laser cannons is not much worse than weapons of mass destruction.

The squadron leader crouched behind the landing ship and watched the rebel soldiers rushing up in the distance being killed one by one with precision, but the rebels were simply like they couldn't finish killing, and they rushed up desperately, even if the brains of their comrades in front of them were in their faces, they couldn't stop their advance.

"These guys, are they drugged? They all rushed over like crazy. The leader of the third squad bent down to dodge a shell and ran to the squadron leader with great agility.

"Don't underestimate the brainwashing ability of the rebels, those guys have directly deprived them of the ability to think alone, so it's better for you to directly understand them as zombies." The squadron leader grabbed his rifle and killed several rebels who came forward one after another while the landing ship's self-defense laser cannon cooled down, "What's the matter, the fleet still can't be contacted?" ”

"No, there was no response at all, and neither did the other friendly forces, none of them could be contacted." The leader of the third squad pouted and shook his head.

The squadron leader looked up at the sky, and at some point, the originally clear sky was already blocked by thick dark clouds at this time, not to mention wanting to see what happened to the fleet, even the fleet couldn't see the red signal flares they fired.

"Captain, there is something I have to say, I always feel that we have broken into the enemy's ambush, and this operation is completely a suicidal act."

"I've thought about what you said, it's not impossible, but it's extremely unlikely, unless it's ......," the squadron leader looked at the soldiers around him who were struggling to resist the enemy, and whispered into the ear of the third squad leader, "unless there are internal ghosts among our high-level personnel, and they are absolutely high-level personnel." ”

"Wouldn't it? If it's a high-ranking general, why do you have to work for the rebels, who are well fed? ”

"Then why do you say that such a well-prepared operation, and there was absolutely no leakage during the execution, was actually divided into several pieces by the enemy, and they could not be connected to each other?" The squadron leader kept his voice as low as possible, "This matter must not be kept quiet, and we will talk about it when Captain Keitel returns, and the top priority is to immediately repel this round of enemy attacks." ”

While the ground forces are fighting fiercely, the space fleet is also under attack.

Just after Keitel was attacked by the Disk Magneto, seven rebel destroyers suddenly jumped into the field and rushed towards the three destroyers led by the Shanglin, who were preparing to support the army in low earth orbit. And their primary target of attack was not the Union destroyers, but the ten landing ships of the Fifth Squadron of the Reserve, which were loitering in the air.

In the panic, the landing ships of the fifth squadron could only be temporarily withdrawn to the transport ships first, but fortunately, the rebels were far inferior to the Federation fleet in terms of weapons and computers, and the shooting accuracy was far from the level required by the Federation fleet, so even though they had a great advantage at the beginning, they did not destroy any landing ships.

The three Federation destroyers reacted immediately, using the electromagnetic railguns that were originally intended for ground attack, and now they are also the first to turn their heads and fire at the rebel destroyers.

More than 20 rounds of 150 mm caliber shells directly hit the destroyer in the front, the shield of the battleship completely collapsed when it received the fifteenth shell, and the rest accurately hit the bridge, all the senior command personnel of the ship were killed on the spot, and the battleship lost control and gradually drifted into the gravitational range of the planet.

"Continue to gather fire on the second ship, and send a signal to the Nanning, so that they can quickly come over to support." The captain of the Shanglin watched the rebel destroyers gradually disintegrate in the atmosphere, and there were still six rebel destroyers, still twice as many as them, and the Nanning in synchronous orbit had to be returned to support immediately.

"Young master, we have received a signal from the enemy's warship, and we can basically confirm that our fleet has arrived in the airspace of the battlefield."

"Got it, let's go down." The young man waved his hand to the correspondent, hugged his sister who was playing on the side, rubbed her little head with his palm, and stared at her big eyes with a smile, "Xiao Chi, you say, what should we do?" ”

"Brother, why do you want to ask Xiao Chi such a simple question, just tell them yourself?" The little girl played with the young man's hair in her hand, muttered and said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, my brother wants to hear what Xiao Chi has in mind."

"Okay, okay, it's really troublesome." The little girl snorted reluctantly, jumped off her brother's lap and walked to the astrolabe, "First of all, our fleet is inferior to the other party in terms of quality and quantity, and the time that can be bought for us is absolutely limited, so far we only have two solutions, one is to withdraw all the troops immediately, give up encircling and suppressing the remaining federal troops, anyway, we have already solved enough federal troops today, even if it is not a good choice to stop." ”

The young man nodded with satisfaction: "What about the second?" ”

"The second is a little more troublesome, but it is not difficult to implement, I speculate that since it is one of the four major special forces, the Xuanwu detachment, then their commander is very likely to be in danger and personally inspect our crater, then the next method is very simple, as long as we catch the supreme commander of the other side, the remaining soldiers are insignificant, but just in case, I don't recommend withdrawing our division, after all, they can distract the Federation, Buy us a little more time on the ground. Moreover, even if that division is completely wiped out, as long as we catch the opposing commander, we will earn blood. The little girl cocked her chin and stared at the young man with a pair of watery triumphant

"Good! Very good! Lao Guan! The young man laughed and clapped his hands.

"Yes, young master."

"Tell the Ink Spider again, be sure to catch their supreme general, remember, to live."

"Yes!"

At this time, the federal soldiers in the crater had almost suffered casualties, but they could barely hold on, the main reason was that the soldiers of the Xuanwu detachment were indeed elite in a hundred battles, and no one was afraid of death. Whenever the opponent's heavy cutter was transported, some soldiers would rush out from behind cover and destroy the cutter with all their might before they were killed, so the rocks protecting them had not been destroyed until now.

But there is no way to consume it like this, the other party loses the cutting machine that can be reproduced, and what they lose is the human life that cannot be resurrected.

The leader of the second squad gasped and looked at the few remaining soldiers around him: "How many of you, who is the only child left in the family?" ”

"Report to the captain, me." A soldier who was not tall and slightly thin in the overall majestic Xuanwu Regiment raised his hand.

"Listen, now I'll give you a mission," the second squad leader's face was unprecedentedly solemn, "Take the captain, and return to where we landed immediately, and the rest of us will cover you." Do you understand? ”

"Yes! But captain, I don't want to leave you alone, I want to fight with you to the end. The soldier's eyes gradually moistened, and his voice choked, everyone knew that although it was unlikely that he would survive the breakout, there was definitely only a dead end for those who stayed here to be responsible for cover. But now everyone around him, who hasn't spent thousands of nights with him, and has gone through hundreds of battles to get to where he is now, if you want to say kiss, these comrades-in-arms around him are definitely closer than his own brothers, and if he wants to leave his brothers and run away alone, even if it is to protect Keitel, he will never be willing.

"Bastard! Do you think Lao Tzu is sympathetic to you? Put your mother's fart, what I care about is the captain! Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if the Xuanwu detachment is gone now, as long as the captain is alive, the banner of the Xuanwu detachment will not fall! You get out of here immediately, Lao Tzu will arrive later, if you let me see the captain lose a single hair, Lao Tzu will shoot you immediately! Get out of here! Get lost! The captain of the second squad shouted these words almost at the top of his throat, but even if he tried his best to cover himself, the cries in his voice still revealed the real him hidden behind the dark mask.

"Yes!" Unconsciously, the soldier's face was already full of tears, "Guarantee to complete the mission!" ”
