Chapter 91: Lost Contact (8)

Major General Craig is such a "visitor", today is the fourth star day that their task force codenamed "Kitchen Knife" arrived in the area of Green Star 6 837 to investigate the disappearance, and before that, two reconnaissance teams and one rescue team, codenamed "Sparrow", "Slingshot", and "Search and Rescue"-1 have mysteriously disappeared in this area.

The "Sparrow" reconnaissance team is the first team to be dropped into the 837 area of the Green Star Six, and its mission is to search for front-line worm nests in this area, laying the groundwork for the conference battle being planned by the Galactic Alliance War Management Center; One day, the "Sparrow" team suddenly lost contact with the front-line command, because a number of reconnaissance teams were simultaneously put into different areas of the Green Star 6 to carry out such tasks, so the disappearance of the "Sparrow" team did not attract much attention at first, the front-line command only temporarily transferred the "slingshot" team from the adjacent 836 area to the 837 area to investigate the situation, but the "slingshot" team also disappeared, which attracted the attention of the front-line command, in order to reduce unnecessary losses, The Forward Command had no choice but to temporarily withdraw all the reconnaissance teams placed on the Green Star Six, and release them again once the problem was clarified.

This time, the front-line command did not take it lightly, and carefully organized a rescue team of 100 people "Search and Rescue"-1, intending to search for the whereabouts of the two reconnaissance teams, but unexpectedly, this 100-person rescue team disappeared again.

With the loss of two reconnaissance squads, one rescue squad, and nearly 200 special operations elites in a row, the front-line command headquarters was completely unable to sit still, and the front-line commander, Lieutenant General Zhang Jian, angrily seconded Major General Craig, known as the "detective," from the war management center and asked him to find out the truth.

Major General Craig was ordered to be in danger, and his only purpose was to find out what caused the three reconnaissance and rescue teams armed to the teeth to be wiped out, so that they didn't even have time to send a distress signal, which was the first place, and the rescue mission was at the bottom.

The "kitchen knife" team is a mixed formation, with a total of 30 people, all of whom are veterans selected from the front-line combat units, all of whom have made countless meritorious contributions in a hundred battles, among which the armored warriors, beasts and robots are all ten people, and there are two long-range UAVs UT-886 and UT-887 in the air thousands of meters away from the team, providing them with alert services at all times.

Among the ten Colonization Warriors, Major General Craig has reached the third realm of the planet and is said to have touched the threshold of the first realm of the star, while the other nine are the first or second realm of the planet; Among the ten beasts, the leader is Colonel Lothar, the third level of the martial arts school, plus the four beast officers of the first and second levels of the martial school, and the remaining five are all fifteen or sixteen meters tall, the body is covered with thick clone derived scale armor, and the beast King Kong is infinitely powerful; Among the ten robots, the HE-8 official worships the lieutenant colonel, including it, the ten robots are all eighteen meters tall and powerful robot King Kong, such an ultra-high-end configuration, the comprehensive combat power is comparable to a miniature Zerg army with more than 10,000 numbers, which also shows the determination of the front-line command to find out the truth.

It's just that in the past four star days, the "kitchen knife" team has gained very little, and the first sensei said that they have encountered some Zerg army, and even the lone alien insects are very paradoxically not seen a few.

The "kitchen knife" team began to search from the coordinate point of the last place where the "search and rescue"-1 team appeared, and the scene of the disappearance did not leave too many clues except for some specially covered firefight traces and some abnormalities in the space energy field, and even the footprints or corpses could not be found.

The last appearance of the "slingshot" team was less than 300 kilometers away from the last appearance of the "search and rescue" -1 team, and the "kitchen knife" team soon arrived at the coordinate location, and then began to investigate and collect evidence, but in the process of collecting evidence, the UT-886 drone responsible for communication and liaison received a very weak distress signal, and the place where this distress signal was transmitted was only 20 kilometers away from the last location of the first missing "sparrow" team.

For this inexplicable distress signal, several officers had a meeting, and after brainstorming, everyone tended to think that this was actually a trap laid by the Zerg, and there must be a big risk for the team to rush forward.

It's just that Major General Craig still has a different opinion, he thinks that "if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger", since you have already ventured to this place, you can't go back empty-handed, otherwise more than 100 comrades will die in vain, so you know that it is a trap, as long as the back hand is fully prepared, it is still necessary to take a risk, so is the distress signal a trap, what if there are really survivors?

Everyone felt that this was reasonable, so they summarized the conclusions of the meeting into an action plan and reported it to the front command, and after careful analysis, the front command staff committee approved the action plan, and the approval replied: "I will plan it and agree." The General Staff will send two bombers and one transport aircraft as reinforcements. Reinforcements are expected to arrive in the target airspace in 10 hours, please pay attention to the ground to guide the air fire. ”

"We have less than ten hours left," Maj. Gen. Craig said, "how far is this from the distress source?" ”

"Four hundred and eighty-five kilometers and seven hundred and thirty-two meters in a straight line," replied Colonel Lothar, after consulting the electronic map, "including the distance over the deep valley of the mountains, the total length should be about six hundred kilometers, and at full speed, we will reach our destination in about an hour." ”

"Fix it for five minutes," Rear Admiral Craig ordered, "and set off." ”

"Yes!"

Five minutes later, the "kitchen knife" team began to march towards the destination, XT-263 machine King Kong and furious -275 beast King Kong set off first as spearheads, and half a minute later, the team of 28 people followed, and the "kitchen knife" team encountered mountains and rivers and water, always maintaining a speed of 500 kilometers per hour.

"Toot toot!" Major General Craig, who was in a state of armor and was concentrating on his way, suddenly received a request to speak, and it was Colonel Lothar who broke the radio silence.

"Colonel Lothar, please." Craig interconnected.

"General Craig, there are two bugs on the left side of the line," Lothar, who was at the back of the line, reported, "Did you clear them?" ”

"Well, I've seen it a long time ago," replied Craig, "and we're going to get on our way, and we don't have to do that hard." ”

"Why?" Losage asked.

"Just wait and see." The old god Craig is in the way.

The "kitchen knife" team marched more than 20 kilometers to the destination, and soon after crossing the 100-kilometer landmark boundary, with the alarm of "Di", all the team members saw a living bright spot on their individual early warning radar screens at the same time, and the bright spot of the living animal should be a strange insect, which joined the previous team of two strange insects and accompanied the "kitchen knife" team together.

After the two hostile teams accompanied each other for more than ten kilometers, one of the alien insects gradually slowed down, and soon "fell behind" and disappeared from the early warning radar screen.

"What are those bugs doing?" Lothar asked, "Playing relay demonstrations?" ”

"Scouts are used tactics," Craig replied, "relay scouting and rotating rests, so that the scout's physical strength can be maintained to the greatest extent, and in the event of an encounter, the scout's physical exertion will not be disadvantaged." ”

"Are you sure?" Lothar was still not at ease.

"Ninety percent sure," Craig replied, "I guess there should be a fourth worm at 200 kilometers." ”

"I hope Your Excellency's judgment is correct!" Lothar Road.

In the darkness of the night, the heavily armed and silent "kitchen knife" team followed the undulations of the surface of the Green Star 6 in the faint light of the crimson sky, and made rapid progress towards its destination, except for the occasional disturbance of one or two small animals hiding behind dead trees or among the bushes, everything was undisturbed, and the team soon reached the 200-kilometer landmark.

"Didi!" As expected, the early warning radar alarmed again, and two bright spots of living creatures broke into the radar screen successively, unlike the previous two alien insects accompanying on the left side, the new two alien insects chose to accompany the "kitchen knife" team on the right side, forming a flanking attack on the "kitchen knife" team.

"General, you really said it," Lothar sped up from the back of the group after getting Craig's permission, and said through the communication system, "It seems that the bugs are coming, what should we do next?" ”

"I won't move if the enemy doesn't move," Craig replied, "and if that distress signal is really a trap for bugs, then they're just 'escorting' us into the trap." ”

"General, you really said it," Lothar sped up from the back of the group after getting Craig's permission, and said through the communication system, "It seems that the bugs are coming, what should we do next?" ”

"I won't move if the enemy doesn't move," Craig replied, "and if that distress signal is really a trap for bugs, then they're just 'escorting' us into the trap." ”
