"General, this is the damned sergeant, the fourth time he has asked for a postponement of the time to reply, and it has been more than an hour since we first issued an ultimatum!" On the small transport ship floating in outer space and belonging to Sharon's new army, Brewer frowned and said to Raymond worriedly: "I'm worried that this guy is probably ostensibly showing up to negotiate with us in person, delaying time, and secretly sending others to find and destroy the miniature signal receiving device hidden in the nuclear ammunition depot!" ”

"Well, it's possible what you said!" After Haoyi repeatedly found various reasons to extend the consideration time, Raymond's face finally became solemn. Although he still didn't want to believe that the sergeant who looked like a ruffian on the outside would guess his intentions, judging from the current situation, Brewer's worries were not impossible.

"Drop" At this time, a set of internal communication channels on the wall of the cabin flashed, and Brewer hurriedly walked over and clicked on the communicator when he heard the sound, and a major wearing a space fleet uniform was displayed on the screen.

"General, colonel!" The major saluted the two of Raymond and reported: "Captain Andre of the Special Operations Squadron has sent a communication request from the ground, asking to speak to the general in person!" ”

"Andrey? Pick it in! Raymond was stunned and waved his hand.

"Yes, General!" The major saluted in response. Then the picture dimmed for a short time, and when it was lit up again, the person in the picture was replaced by a fully armed special operations team member with a one-piece mask open, and it was the leader of the 6th Special Operations Squadron, Andrei.

"Andrei, why didn't you board the evacuation ship in time as I ordered?" Raymond asked in a deep voice with a long gray brow. An hour earlier, Raymond had asked Andrei's special operations squadron to secretly withdraw to the evacuation site, board the second evacuation ship, and quietly leave Mutus. However, after waiting for more than half an hour, the second evacuation warship still did not see the figure of the special operations squadron. In desperation, Raymond only had to order the second evacuation ship to take the Mutus Front, and all the remaining senior officers above the colonel level quietly evacuated the planet Mutus. Although the top management of Sharon's new army has decided to sacrifice all the new troops left on the planet Mutus, for these senior generals, the top management is still reluctant to let them be cannon fodder together.

"General, something happened in the XXX area!" Andre's face was a little tired, he looked like a dusty man, and his voice was hoarse and dry.

"Oh? Say! Raymond frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, General!" Andrew stepped forward and spoke briefly. It turned out that when those armored divisions were massing in the XXX area, the federal troops also began to move. The 502nd Army and the 92nd Army and the 118th Army, two armies under the 118th Army Group, with the cooperation of an independent air assault division, advanced the southern defense line of the XXX area from the east and west. By the time Andrei received Raymond's order to retreat, reconnaissance units of the Union Army entered the outer line of defense in the XXX area.

After receiving the news, Andrei realized that the stakes were high, so he decided to postpone the retreat operation on his own initiative, and while sending two squads to act as temporary reconnaissance units of the Provisional Forces nouvelles, to investigate the reality of the federal army, he personally went to consult with the temporary commander of the four armored divisions, Senior Colonel Kutori.

Before the two could discuss the result, the two teams sent by Andrei returned with bad news, and were ambushed by a very strong federal army, leaving only three or five seriously wounded to escape in disarray. Frightened, André didn't have time to report to Raymond, so he took one of the remaining two complete squads and hurried to the battlefield where the two squads were ambushed to investigate the situation. It didn't matter if you checked it, the results made Antre shocked.

"General, the one who ambushed those two squads is the special combat team directly under the Fifth War Zone!" Andrei said with a gloomy face.

"Oh? Why are you so sure? Hearing the conclusion of Andre's report, Raymond's heart also jumped, and he asked in a deep voice with a frown.

"We picked up C-10 rifle cartridge casings on the battlefield, and as far as we know, modified rifles are only equipped by the Federation's special operations teams!"

"According to you, the XXX area has attracted the attention of the Fifth Theater Command?" A hint of unhappiness crossed Raymond's heart, but the pair of gray old eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

"I don't know how to draw conclusions, General! However, in less than half an hour, I received urgent information that a small group of federal troops had infiltrated the XXX area. All friendly troops that encountered small groups of enemy troops suffered heavy casualties without exception! Although Andre said it calmly, Raymond and Brewer couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the word shock in each other's eyes.

"General, what I want to say is that Zero Jihua can no longer be disturbed by the outside world! Otherwise, you may lose all your efforts! Seeing Raymond silent, Antre's tone couldn't help but start to be a little anxious.

"Andrei, how do you think we should deal with it?" Raymond began to regret that he had spent so much precious time playing cat and mouse with the sergeant. Although he was asking Andre on the surface, in fact, he had already killed Haoyi and the others in his heart. Just from the few cold rays that inadvertently shone out of his old eyes, he could feel the cold killing intent.

"General, I don't need to explain much about the current situation, I believe you know it very well! The Federal Army may launch a surprise attack on our army at any time, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hold the XXX area with only four armored divisions, and if our army stubbornly defends the XXX area, it is likely to be self-defeating, arouse the suspicion of the Federal Army, and then may expose the Zero base. Andre took a deep breath, calmed down some uneasiness, and suggested to Raymond: "Therefore, my subordinates suggest that you immediately give an order to let those four armored divisions immediately break through to the north, pretending that they are secretly gathering places and have to retreat in a hurry." The subordinates led the remaining two squads to immediately infiltrate the Zero base and secretly snipe all the enemy elements in the base to remove the biggest external threat to Zero Jihua! ”

After listening to Andre's advice, Raymond frowned, turned around and sat down on the sofa, staring at the glass coffee table and groaning. Brewer and Andrew glanced at each other, but did not dare to disturb Raymond's thoughts.

"Andrei, do you know that if you do this, you and the remaining soldiers of your special operations squadron will most likely not have time to evacuate Mutus and become the martyrs of Zero Jihua!" After a long time, Raymond suddenly got up from the sofa, looked up and asked Andrei in a deep voice.

"General, I've already thought about this! Rest assured, I and the rest of the two teams are willing to sacrifice our lives for our great newborn republic! Hearing this, Andre hurriedly straightened his back, and the gloomy look on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of Ling Ran who was going to die for his ideals.

"Alright, I'll send an expedited cipher to Colonel Couturi right now!" Raymond sighed lightly, a faint look of reluctance on his face. Special operations squadrons like Andre were already few in Sharon's new army, and Raymond knew that there would be many places where Andrew's special operations squadrons would be used in the subsequent war of independence. However, at the moment, Raymond was inevitably a little distressed by the fact that Antrich's special operations squadron was forced to "be buried" for Zero. "You and your men can act at any time, you don't have to ask me for instructions anymore!" Raymond added.

"Yes, General!" Andre replied loudly, and then gave a standard military salute.

"Take care, Andrey!" Raymond subconsciously returned a military salute, but his old eyes, which were not very clear, became more and more cloudy.

※※※ "Boom boom! "At a canyon connection passage leading to Roman Island in the northern part of the XXX region, a fierce offensive and defensive battle is in full swing. The high-speed missiles flying in the sky and the beams of laser cannons weave most of the sky into a brilliant golden net symbolizing death. On the ground, countless ant-like marines surrounded the steel giants, desperately attacking a high ground in front of the canyon in waves. Brilliant fireballs mixed with black mushroom clouds frequently flashed in this torrent of steel, like blood-red flowers blooming on the pale yellow earth. It's just that the brilliant colors of this flower are watered with the blood of countless lives.

This faintly trembling land was supposed to belong to the territory of Sharon's new army. However, at this moment, it was a federal army that was holding on to the heavy artillery fire and gritting its teeth on that high ground. As can be seen from the number on their armbands, this is an armored division belonging to the 502nd Army Group of the 118th Army in the 5th Theater of Operations.

On a hill not far from the side of the battlefield, a group of men wearing light armor of individual Union soldiers emblazoned with the word "ENN" were busy nervously braving the stray bullets that flew in from time to time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, about ten kilometers behind me, there is an extremely tragic battle between my heroic Federal Counterinsurgency Army and Sharon's Rebels. The firepower of both sides is extremely fierce, and I can feel it here......" The beautiful reporter named Xia Li was pointing to the battlefield behind her with an excited face, and quickly made an impromptu report to the camera.

dared to carry out live reporting on the battlefield at such a close and dangerous distance, and it has to be said that this beautiful reporter and her team either have a hot head or the word "fear" is missing from the dictionary.

"Sister Xiali, get down, it's dangerous!" At this moment, a missile that flew from nowhere staggered towards this direction, and the staff members were so frightened that they fell down one after another while shouting at the beautiful reporter.

The "boom" missile actually swept through the air several meters above the head of the beautiful reporter, and landed halfway up the hillside in the distance, setting off a huge fireball. The violent tremor from the mountain ground shook the female reporter, whose hair stood on end, to the ground.

"Everyone, everyone's okay?" After the loud noise, the beautiful reporter tried her best to calm her rapidly beating heart and asked the staff in a trembling voice.

"It's fine!" The staff members who rose from the ground answered in a haphazard manner.

"Ahh Sister Xiali, I received a strange signal! However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, which made the beautiful reporter's heart jump again.
