10. Assault operations
Less than fifteen minutes after Natasha left, Carubo hurried into Spock's office, and from his panicked expression, Spock immediately understood that something was wrong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Your Excellency! I've just found out through the newly installed reconnaissance system in the air that the Hatu are heading for this base! The quantity, very large! ”
"How many?"
"About 70,000 ground attack robots!"
"Seventy thousand!" This figure surprised even Spock, who had always been moody. If there were only two escaped Hatu warships, the number of ground attack robots would not have exceeded a thousand, and the only plausible explanation would be that they had found the robots in stock in the abandoned base and activated them.
This sucks. Spock couldn't help but be angry and remorseful. I was angry that the Galactic Alliance drove the Hatu people out of the solar system when they didn't completely destroy these bases, and as a result, they left hidden dangers, and regretted that today they were disturbed by Natasha's affairs, and as a result, they made an order to send themselves to a desperate situation, knowing that the strength of the four marines is only more than 1,000 people, and they will soon turn into dust under the attack of 70,000 enemy troops.
"Lieutenant! Contact Colonel Gander immediately and have him send combat boats to provide air cover! ”
"Yes, the lower official will do it immediately!" Carupo had already run out before he could finish speaking.
Spock knew that this kind of aerial cover was a drop in the bucket, even if the opponent's ground attack robots could not cause damage to the combat boats, as long as the base was flooded with numerical superiority, the insufficient combat boats would only be able to watch, and it would take at least two hours to completely annihilate these robots even if all the warships in their hands were destroyed. If you want to destroy 70,000 robots in an instant, then I'm afraid that Rear Admiral Piro will have to drive the entire fleet, but this is obviously too late, and at this moment Piro's fleet has been scattered throughout the solar system to search.
At this time, Natasha ran in: "Your Excellency! Lieutenant Colonel Pork said that a large number of robots were found to be rushing towards the base, please prepare to evacuate! ”
"As a commander, do you choose to flee from the battle, Major? You can't help but look down on people too much. ”
"Your Excellency! Now is not the time to play with a child's temper! Only the smooth escape of the commander can restore our current decline! Please evacuate this base immediately! ”
At this time, Kalubo was just in time to return, and when he heard Natasha's words, he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency! Please follow the Major's arrangement! If you refuse to leave, then who of the other soldiers can evacuate here? In order to save as many lives as possible, please let go of your reserves! ”
Carroupo's words moved Spock. Indeed, if the commander still held on to this base, then the soldiers would have to do their duty to protect the commander, and then the whole army would be annihilated, and if he left, there would be a group of brave soldiers who would die to cover others, but they would be able to save most of the lives. Thinking of this, Spock no longer insisted, and the three of them hurriedly put on protective suits and boarded the aircraft they were riding on.
Two minutes later, Spock left the ground where he had just set foot and began to travel towards space. But his doom didn't seem to be over yet.
"Four missiles, approaching!" Karoubo shouted.
"Immediate evasion. You don't have to worry! Natasha operated the craft and began to leave the intended orbit to make tactical evasion maneuvers.
The red light of the alarm flashed for more than 90 seconds before it dimmed.
"Report to Your Excellency, the local missile has been freed, but we have gone off track and are re-entering the route data!" Natasha reported.
"Major! Six o'clock direction! Two enemy combat boats are approaching! Karoubo shouted.
Our whereabouts seem to be being targeted by the Hatu. Spock concluded. If it weren't for knowing their location, the Hatu wouldn't have risked being wiped out by sending 70,000 robots to a small base, let alone sending the only combat boat to encircle a flying machine.
Karubo shouted, "Your Excellency! Please enter the rescue pod with Major Natasha and disconnect! Xiaguan will try his best to attract the other party away from you! ”
Kalubo's suggestion was correct, one aircraft could not compete with a combat boat under any circumstances, let alone two on the other side, it was a one-sided slaughter. Rather than die all here, it is better to save as much as you can.
Spock nodded and said, "Kalubo, you have eight hands, try to contact Gande when you escape, and let him try to knock out these two combat boats from the air." ”
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I'll give it a try." Karubo smiled reluctantly, but to be honest, the smile of the Badrama only made people feel like crying.
Spock and Natasha boarded the capsule and pressed the ejection button. The rescue pod was launched like an arrow.
"It's really ugly, I was driven from the base into the aircraft, and now I am forced into the rescue capsule, and I have lost all my face today." Spock couldn't help but laugh bitterly at himself.
Natasha was busy in the rescue pod, first turning off the beacon transmitter and anti-reconnaissance filter.
"What are you doing, major? Without a beacon launcher, how can they find us? ”
Natasha shook her head and smiled, "Your Excellency, you are really confused. The beacon launcher can be sent to Colonel Gander, can't the Hatu people receive it? In this situation, do you think the Hatu people or ours will find this rescue pod first? ”
Spock suddenly understood, the reason why the Hatu people were able to grasp their position, and even which aircraft they were riding on, was clear, obviously there were their lurking traitors in this small fleet, and judging from the sensitivity of the news, it might be on the flagship, so now his own rescue pod may bring death to himself whether it is discovered by his own side or the enemy. The Hatu people were obviously willing to kill themselves altogether, and Karubo had already made sacrifices for himself, and there was really no room for mistakes. This is also the reason why Natasha turned off the anti-reconnaissance filter, because even if the enemy can't find this rescue pod of his, the mole will know about it. Conversely, if the filter is turned off, a flying object as small as a rescue capsule can easily be mistaken for a small meteorite entering the atmosphere and thus ignored. Natasha's calm judgment clearly played her part at this time.
"We'll have to use our encrypted communicator to get in touch with Colonel Gand, Your Excellency."
Spock nodded, and there was no need to say any more superfluous words: "Major, who do you think our internal spy is?" ”
Natasha shook her head, "I can't guess, Your Excellency. But I think he's right on our flagship, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible to react so quickly. ”
Before Spock could reply, he heard a voice from inside the rescue pod: "The rescue pod will hit the ground in a minute." ”
