Chapter 138: A false alarm

On the periphery of the atmosphere of the planet Mutus, the bright yellow beams fired by countless ground-based nuclear anti-orbital guns weave into a dense network of firepower. In this net of firepower, which symbolizes death, the space transport fleet of the Fifth Theater is desperately sending close combat units to the ground in waves. The intensity of the entire forced landing operation made Auston and other senior generals who were far away in the space battle cruiser feel a little surprised.

"Your Excellency Commander, the 321st and 502nd Army Groups have all landed on the planet Mutus, and the 38th and 82nd Army Groups are following up!" Alston's junior guard staff officer hurriedly walked to the command platform and saluted.

"What about the casualties of the troops?" Auston asked without looking back, staring at the battle scene on the huge holographic display in the bridge command center.

"The exact number of casualties has not yet been fully calculated, but according to the preliminary estimates of the two army groups, the casualty ratio of all landing troops is about one-tenth." The Major replied with a solemn face.

"Before the ground battle began, there were one-tenth casualties, how can this battle continue?" A major general's chief of staff next to Auston turned back to whisper to a colonel. Although the Fifth Theater Intelligence had long reminded these commanders that the Sharon rebels had been operating on the planet Mutus for many years, the dense density of various sturdy and unusual ground fortresses and powerful anti-aircraft fire on the planet was enough to cost any force that attempted to force a landing at a heavy cost in casualties. But these senior commanders at the Fifth Theater Headquarters never took the rebels on the planet Mutus to heart. In the battle of the staff officers, the time allocated for the battle of Mutus was only two short weeks.

"Command! The 38th and 82nd Army Groups suspended the landing operation, and the 321st and 502nd Army Groups immediately organized troops to attack the rebels, connecting the various landing areas and forming a safe area, and then covering the subsequent two army groups for landing operations! Of course, Auston also heard the whispers of the staff officers behind him, and his old brows were almost furrowed, and he muttered for a moment and ordered the staff officers.

"Anthony, come on!" After Auston gave the order, the staff officers returned to their posts, and the junior guard staff officer was about to turn around and leave, when he was suddenly stopped by Auston.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" The major staff officer was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly responded respectfully.

Then Auston took the major staff officer to his special luxury cabin on the battleship, took out a paper secret order from a special safe, and handed it to the major.

"Give this secret order to General Op of the 502nd Army Group in person, and tell him not to ask too much, just follow the content of the secret order!" In the Major's slightly surprised eyes, Auston commanded in a deep voice with a straight face: "I have arranged for a small transport ship to take you to Mutus, and there is also a team of internal guard special forces who will be responsible for your safety!" Remember, don't open the secret order without permission, don't ask too much questions, and return immediately after handing over the secret order to Admiral Opp! Do you understand! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" Looking at Auston's grim tone, the major staff officer named Anthony realized that this secret order must not be simple, and hurriedly stood up and saluted and said, "Please rest assured, your subordinates will definitely complete the task you have assigned well!" ”

"Go ahead!" Auston nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to the major.

On the planet Mutus, the tragic planetary landing battle is still in full swing.

"Boom!" Near a mountainous area where the battle was raging, the landing ship numbered 232001 Haoyi was riding plunged headlong into the soft soil, emitting a puff of white smoke. Presumably because the power system had not yet fully recovered, the landing ship should have been smoothly parked on the ground, but now it was like a thick cigar stuck upside down in an ashtray.

"Flutter!" With a soft sound, the crew door of the landing ship suddenly popped out a little, and a thicker puff of white smoke came out, and then it stopped moving, as if it was malfunctioning and stuck.

"Holy shit!" A rough voice came from the crack in the cabin door, and then a series of loud noises were heard, and the heavy hatch was slowly pushed open. After the metal collision lasted for about ten times, there was a sudden "Bang!" "There was a loud bang, and the deformed hatch actually flew three feet away from the landing ship and stuck upside down in the dirt.

Then, a head in CMC armor poked out of the door of the cabin, looked around, and then jumped out of it and slammed on the ground. Then, more than thirty Marines who were also wearing CMC armor jumped out of the hatch one after another. As soon as these marines jumped out of the landing ship, they hurriedly pulled out the electromagnetic spike guns fixed on the gun mounts on their armor backs, and a snapping sound of bolt pulling rang out one after another. The Marines then circled the landing ship, spreading out in a loose circle, facing outwards and with their backs inward.

"Are you all alright?" Haoyi was adjusting the aiming system in the helmet, and the rough voice of the platoon leader Louis sounded in the headset.

"It's okay, platoon commander!" A steady stream of responses rang out in the team's call channel.

"The squad leader counts the number of people!" Although he knew that there would be no casualties, the platoon commander Louis still gave the first order to set foot on the planet Mutus in accordance with the training dogma.

After hearing the order, the six positive and negative squad leaders turned back and counted the number of members in their class. As they entered combat mode, the Marines closed their holographic helmet masks, and the non-commissioned officers could only identify their squad members by the number numbers on their chests and arms.

"The inventory of the seventh shift is complete, and the personnel are complete!"

"The eighth shift has been counted, and the personnel are complete!" The replies of the seventh squad leader and the eighth squad leader came one after another in the call channel, but Louie didn't hear Hao Yi, who was the leader of the ninth class, respond, so anxious that Louie scolded: "You idiot Hao Yi, what about you ninth class?" Fuck back! ”

Haoyi was more anxious than Louie at this time, because he carefully counted the team members around him several times, but he didn't find Hu Erfat's figure for a long time.

"Second fat, where the hell did you die? Die for Lao Tzu! Not bothering to respond to Louie's scolding, Haoyi yelled anxiously at the call channel.

Haoyi's roar made the rest of the marines in the platoon stunned for a moment, and then their hearts sank, and they hurriedly turned around and looked at each other. Although the landing action of the landing ship was somewhat "rough", the violent impact made the team members a little confused. But this was nothing to the Marines, who were wearing heavy and sturdy armor, so no one expected casualties. However, from Haoyi's anxious roar, the team members realized that Hu Erfat, who was the deputy of the ninth class, had strangely "disappeared", which surprised the team members and couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

"Ahem, Brother Hao, I'm here!" Just as the marines in the third platoon looked at each other at a loss, Hu Erpang's response suddenly came from the call channel.

Hao Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly looked around, but he still didn't see the figure of the land battle armor numbered 1781203092, so anxious that Hao Yi yelled again: "You foodie, where are you?" ”

"I'm here, Brother Hao!" At this moment, there was a rattling sound of metal colliding in the cabin of the landing ship, and then a figure in CMC armor rolled out of the hatch and slammed into the ground. "Damn, what kind of landing ship is this, it's about to throw the fat man back in place!" Hu Er's heavy wheezing voice and scolding words came from the call channel.

It turned out that when the landing ship landed, the huge impact directly stunned Hu Erpang, so after Haoyi and others jumped out of the cabin of the landing ship one after another, Hu Erpang was actually forgotten in the cabin by everyone, which caused a false alarm.

"Ya, you foodie almost scared me to death!" Haoyi was surprised and delighted, rushed over quickly, raised his foot and kicked Hu Erfat, and scolded: "Hurry up for Lao Tzu before you fall to death, get ready to work, foodie!" ”

"Damn Haoyi, are you all in the nine classes! All day long belongs to your most inkblot! Hu Erpang's timely appearance made the rest of the team members breathe a sigh of relief, and the platoon leader Louis scolded angrily.

"Bang!" Just as Haoyi was about to reply, suddenly the cockpit door of the landing ship suddenly opened, and two pilots wearing light individual armor jumped out of the cockpit in embarrassment with two short spike rifles.

"I'm X, brother, what are you doing here? Do you want to rob our Marines of their jobs? Haoyi asked as he opened his mask and stared at the two pilots of the landing ship with a look of surprise.

"I'm X, you think we want to! The landing ship of the dog day is stuck in the soil, and the power system is really finished this time! There's no way, I can't fly back to the transport mothership, I can only follow you ground rats! One of the drivers spat and cursed back.

"Oh yes, we're ground mice?" Haoyi rolled his eyes, almost couldn't help but raise his foot and was about to kick it, and scolded: "Then stay in this iron coffin, don't follow our rats all over the ground!" ”

"Okay, don't you out! Don't look at what time it is, and still have the leisure to quarrel? You're tired of being alive, aren't you? Pack up your gear and get ready to work! The platoon commander Louis also heard the conversation between Haoyi and the others, and his nose was crooked in anger, and he turned around and opened his mask and shouted and scolded.

As he spoke, several laser cannon beams whistled past the hull of the landing ship, slammed into the soil not far away, and exploded at a distance of several distances, raising a cloud of dirt and smoke towards these marines.

"Ahem! Platoon commander, tell me where we're going to rush now! Because he had just opened the mask, Haoyi coughed again and again because of the sudden smoke and dust that flew sideways.

"No matter where I rush, don't fucking stay here anyway!" Louis was also a veteran, and it was clear from the artillery fire that the rebels had targeted the landing ship. Surrounded by the landing ship, there is only the end of waiting for death.

"You two follow Lao Tzu!" Louis hurriedly explained to the two drivers, then closed the helmet mask, brandished the spike gun and ordered loudly: "The seventh squad takes the lead, the eighth squad is broken, and the ninth squad follows me, the target is the high ground in front of the left, the stragglers are charging, don't stop Lao Tzu without an order!" Above! ”
