After a few minutes......

All the interceptor missiles at the base were in place, and the commander of the base was authorized by Lieutenant General Aldrich, commander of the Pluto Army, to mobilize all the long-range self-propelled anti-aircraft guns within the army base and concentrate all the firepower to intercept surface-to-air fire from the Union side.

"Interceptor fire is in place, you can land. But as a reminder, we can only do our best to intercept it, and we can't fully guarantee the safety of your landing. ”

In the communication channel of the bridge, the head of the commander of the air defense base was transmitted again.

"Don't worry, we're prepared." Colin takes the place of Cecilia, who is already in the driver's seat, and appears in the communication channel.

"You guys?" The Commander looked puzzled, and Colin's composure confused him.

"Yes, I have deciphered the communication code on this troop carrier. Just now, I sent a message to the air defense base on the side of the Federation Army, so we may not be attacked at all, of course, if our little trick is discovered, then we will have to rely on you, Sir, to ensure our safety. ”

"......I see," the commander nodded in satisfaction, for him, if he could save missiles, he didn't mind Colin making his own decisions.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die. Let's begin, Captain Cecilia, and I hope your piloting skills are as good as your beauty. ”

The commander saluted and cut off the communications, and all the crew members on the bridge immediately took their places.

"Start the engine, turn off the electromagnetic device, start the power 15%, the buffer parachute in place, and the landing gear test is normal......"

A series of data, collated by Navigator Borg, was aggregated on Cecilia's driving screen. As the landing steps were ready, Cecilia took a deep breath and pushed the bar to the end.

"Land!"

The tail engine of the transport ship burst out of the dazzling tail flame, and the three transport ships that were originally stationary outside the atmosphere were driven by the powerful power of the engines, like flying arrows off the string, and plunged headlong into the thin atmosphere of Pluto.

At this moment, if you look up from the ground of Pluto, you will immediately see that on the black canopy, three meteorite-like fireballs are rapidly approaching the surface of Pluto. The high temperature caused by the friction with the atmosphere makes the three transport ships like torches flying down in the air, eye-catching and dazzling against the background of the dark night.

Almost at the same time, the air defense radars of the Republic and the Federation air defense bases simultaneously lit up with dazzling red warning lights, and countless anti-aircraft rapid-fire guns and missile launchers were urgently put into position, locking themselves on the three transport ships that were getting closer and closer in the sky.

Under normal circumstances, the short moment when a transport ship penetrates the atmosphere is the best time for an air defense base to launch a ground attack. Most transport ships that make an emergency landing are unable to withstand strong ground fire when passing through the atmosphere, so this short moment is the dividing line between life and death.

This time, however, both the Republican air defense base and the Union Army air defense base remained rarely silent. It was not until the three transport ships had completely penetrated the atmosphere, and the federal air defense radar locked the flight trajectory of the transport ships on its own and calculated the landing site, that the commander of the federal air defense base let out an angry roar.

Suddenly, countless missiles and plasma cannons fired from the air defense base of the Federal Army intertwined a large net of death, overwhelmingly rolling towards the three small fish that were almost about to break out of the net.

The deceived Fed commander vented his anger with artillery fire, but unfortunately, he had missed the best opportunity. As soon as the space transport ship passed through the atmosphere, countless decoy missiles were released from the tail of the transport ship, and the Republic air defense base, which had already been in place, also intercepted the federal artillery fire at the same time.

In the continuous roar, Pluto's black sky was lit up by a multicolored light, and the dense explosions and flames were like brilliant fireworks in the dark night. The three tattered transport ships broke out of this splendor of death, with a huge whistling sound, they popped out the buffer umbrellas of the deceleration armor and the stern, and landed on the vast tarmac of the army base with scars.

Before the three transport ships could come to a stop, countless fire trucks that had already been in place around the tarmac swarmed out, spraying a large amount of white foam onto the hull.

A 'sizzle' sound rang out, and the hot hull of the ship quickly rose in a white mist as it cooled, and Pluto's cold temperature soared several degrees at once.

With a 'bang', the transport hatch opened in the foam that had piled up. Cecilia and the others who walked out of the hatch, the first thing they saw was not flowers and cheers, but the military police with loaded guns in the army base, and the ambulance personnel who rushed into the ship's body with medical equipment behind the military police.

"Welcome to Pluto, Second Lieutenant Cecilia."

The commander of the air defense base, who had met with everyone in the instant video conference, appeared in front of everyone, saluted everyone, and said with a smile: "Second Lieutenant Cecilia, I admire your piloting skills. But as is customary, if you don't have a requisition order, you must go through the War Department's review. Rest assured, this is just a routine procedure and we have no ill intentions. ”

"Sir, I agree to be reviewed. However, I hope that the War Department will treat our wounded with the best medical equipment, they are all heroes of the Republic, and they do not deserve to die like this! Cecilia looked at the commander of the air defense base with an excited expression, although she knew that her words were a bit redundant, she still hoped to get a positive answer from the commander.

"I promise."

The commander made a gesture of invitation after a formal promise, while Cecilia and the others obeyed the rules of the War Department, disarmed one by one, and handed them over to the soldiers who were already waiting on the sidelines.

Cecilia and other lightly injured persons who were able to move were taken to the quarantine area by the military police of the War Department to undergo the necessary isolation procedures during the investigation, while some of the seriously injured were carried on stretchers and taken to the intensive care unit of the Air Force Hospital.

……

An hour later, Pluto Army Base Command.

The commander of the air defense base burst into the headquarters headquarters with an excited face and threw a thick stack of lists onto the large metal desk in the command room.

"Aldrich, we're rich. Hahaha...... I've checked it, and the Ray transport ship does have more than 400 sets of Federal Patriot 2 heavy infantry armor on board. The total number is 427 sets, 5 sets of damaged armor, the damage rate is only 0.01%, and 422 sets can be put into use immediately after a slight modification, hahaha......"

"Achill, how many times have you said that you want to call me a general." On the chair behind the desk, a middle-aged man who also had two big beards slowly raised his head, although he tried his best to strain his face, but from the corners of his slightly trembling eyes, he could clearly see the smile hidden in his heart at the moment.

"Alright, my cousin." Colonel Archier, commander of Pluto's air defense base, closed the door of his office with a nonchalant face, took out a cigar from the cigarette case on Aldrich's desk, and lit himself: "There is no one else here, we don't have to play the game of bosses and subordinates anymore." ”

"Do you know why you're still a colonel after all these years?" Aldrich shook his head helplessly: "You have made as many mistakes as you have done. ”

"It's the damn error in the central computer's rating program, can my little mistakes cover up my merits?" Colonel Archer coughed excitedly a few times, and argued with a red face: "Besides, the famous generals in history are all informal!" ”

General Aldrich, knowing the stubbornness of his cousin's surname, did not argue with him any further. He picked up the stack of lists that Achill had brought, and after carefully browsing through them, he suddenly asked with a surprised expression, "These heavy infantry armor was removed from Charon?" ”

"That's right, I've checked their numbers and the information inside the federal transport ship."

"So...... That Marine defeated ......"

"Four hundred and twenty-seven hoplites, if there is no such magical marine, then these four hundred and twenty-seven hoplites will be put on the battlefield of Pluto." Archiel took a puff of cigarette and said with a grim expression: "My people have deciphered the communication records of the Federal Army and found something very interesting. ”

"A traitor has appeared among our people?" General Aldrich was astute to guess this fact.

"Huh? How do you know! Achill choked on the smoke and coughed violently as he looked at the confident General Aldridge with a monster-like look.

"Of course I can guess." Aldridge smiled incomprehensibly: "Haven't you always boasted that your defense line is impregnable?" If you don't have an internal response, with a 'Ray' transport ship, there is absolutely no way to penetrate the anti-aircraft fire network you have built. ”

"Hehe...... "Achill scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled unashamedly: "Of course......"

"Tell me about their specific plans, I'm curious, what do they want to do?"

"It's actually quite simple." Achill moved a chair and sat down in front of Aldrich, explaining in detail: "This group of heavily armored knights has been given priority to evacuate the Charon battlefield, and the Federation is planning to drop this force on Pluto nearby. So, the Federation Army planned this attack. Originally, they planned to attack this fleet and drop all the personnel and equipment on the captured transport ships, and then use that traitor to unlock our communication code, disguise themselves as the transport fleet of the Republic, and secretly drop this force on the battlefield of Pluto. ”

"It sounds familiar."

"Haha...... That's right! Achill slapped the table excitedly: "It's exactly the same as what we just did." ”

"No wonder the Federation would have so easily believed the communications from the transport, which happened to have broken their plans." Aldrich narrowed his eyes and said to himself in admiration: "If I were the commander of the other party, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed that such a flawless plan could go so wrong." A Marine Corps crushed a troop carrier full of 'knights', tsk...... This is probably the greatest miracle in the history of the Republic's wars. ”

"yes, I checked the battle video inside the ship and the black box records on the original TR-735." Archer snuffed out his cigarette butt and stared earnestly into Aldrich's eyes: "It was a miraculous reversal, and there is no doubt that it will be enshrined in the textbooks." ”

"......" Aldrich pondered for a moment, then tapped his finger on the table, "I want to meet the captain and her Marine Captain." ”

"In a few days, that Marine Corps will be almost wiped out." Archer took out two cigars from the cigarette case on the table, threw them into his pocket and said with a smile: "Our War Department has received such a great favor from others, and we have to find a way to repay them." I'll approve the rags in your broken warehouse on my own initiative, and as for the promotion of the position, it's better for you, the general, to make a report. ”

"Hmph...... You're generous! Aldrich snorted coldly and said angrily: "I'm afraid you just looted it into your own warehouse." ”

"A little bit, a little bit......"

Achill turned his head and smiled, and before Aldrich could pick up his large ashtray and smash people, he flew out the door......
