Chapter 60: Surprise Attack
……
Shortly after the governors had finished their meeting and were about to leave the nest, General Barrett, who was at the forefront of the confrontation, received orders from the marshal.
The order was simple: all the personnel of the Second Army led by Barrett were immediately ready to abandon the confrontation, because the people of the First Army were not enemies, and everyone as the subjects of the God Emperor should try their best to bridge the conflict.
The order was beautiful, but Barrett felt that the governor wanted to compromise and back down, otherwise how could he say such a beautiful thing.
After this period of confrontation, Barrett felt that the people of the First Army were just a bunch of angry people who had escaped death, and they didn't want this nest to be set on fire by the flames of war, after all, it was also their home.
Immediately after receiving the order, Barrett gave the order for the army to be assembled, and then went to the First Army himself.
"The nest has compromised and retreated." Barrett walked along the position to Gray, who was arranging for the recruits to teleport, and showed him the order, "We don't have to continue the standoff. ”
Gray immediately took the order to take a closer look, scanned it and sent it to Qin Mo's side, and then said to Barrett: "Congratulations, you have been worried about being attacked by us all this time, can you rest assured now?" ”
"Don't worry, because I don't know if your strong legion leader will compromise with the higher-ups." Barrett laughed and shook her head.
"Of course he will not compromise, he will find the mastermind behind the attack plan, execute him, and then put an end to this matter once and for all." Gray said.
Listening to his flat tone, Barrett's heart that had just been put down hung again, and he felt that the haze of war that had just dissipated was now hanging over his head again.
After thinking for a long time, Barrett could only whisper: "Help me convey to your legion commander, we still have to focus on the overall situation, the nest is our home, and we can't let it be destroyed." ”
"Help me get to the Governor, if you can see him." Gray also whispered to Barritt, "Each of us has paid too much price and sacrifice, this matter will not be so easy to end, so that he is ready to atone for his sins." ”
"You're not small." Barrett gave Gray a blank look, turned and walked towards his own army.
By this time the men of the Second Army were already beginning to assemble and prepare for evacuation.
Everyone was gathered together, rejoicing at being able to withdraw from the front line of the standoff.
Although they can't talk and laugh loudly when they assemble, the discipline of the planetary defense force is not strong in the first place, and everyone is happy, so the soldiers are not only talking and laughing loudly, but even talking and laughing in front of Barrett.
Barrett was so happy that he even joined in the fun, telling the soldiers what gifts he would buy for his wife and children when he returned home, and holding another party to celebrate that he had not died in the confrontation.
Gray and his own soldiers looked at these happy people, and their hearts were inexplicably happy.
No one would hate the soldiers of the Second Army, they were just following orders and deployed here.
Life in the lower nest is always bitter, but at this moment, in the area ahead of this blocked passage, the people here are very happy.
Gray smiled at the people in front of him, until he heard the beep from inside his helmet and the smile disappeared instantly.
"Warning, warning, detection of a large number of high-speed approaching objects."
"Warning, warning."
Without Gray reacting at all, his shoulder cannon automatically extended from the power armor and fired several small beams into the air.
The same was true of Anruida and the others present.
The sound of the beam being fired alerted Barritt, who angrily looked at Gray, thinking that Gray had ordered the attack.
But Barrett's rebuke was not spoken, for he heard a terrible scream in the air, the sound of a cannonball falling.
Barrett stood still, glanced back at him with some blankness, then turned to look at Gray again, his mouth opening a few times as if to say something.
In the next second, there was a dazzling flash of explosion where Barrett was standing, and his entire body was vaporized along with the people and things around him.
A large number of shells fell immediately afterward.
The soldiers of the 1st Army immediately went into combat mode, looking for cover in their positions.
The Guard's shoulder cannon is still shooting small beams to intercept the flying cannonballs, so it's okay for the time being.
But the Second Army was miserable.
They were gathering, everyone was gathered together, almost to the point of crowding.
When the cannonballs landed among them, Gray saw a terrible scene that he had never seen before.
The explosion instantly evaporated the hundred people located at the center point, and then the shock wave spread out in all directions and shattered the human body, and a huge amount of fragments was thrown into the sky, and then fell in all directions.
"Defense!" Gray no longer watched the Second Army's plight, for he ought to have organized his defenses in the event of a surprise attack more than to be a bystander.
The commanders of the regiments received orders and immediately directed the soldiers to enter the trenches and pillboxes under artillery shelling.
This position, which originally belonged to the Second Army, was expanded and fortified, and now plays a good protective role.
……
Two hours later.
Bottom nest.
When the war began, the command building in downtown New Cato was opened, but due to the urgency of the war, everyone was in disarray.
In the corridor at the top, Qin Mo and Yao En, who were wearing the Praetorian Power Armor, walked forward one after the other.
Everyone who passed by them leaned against the wall and hurriedly saluted, and then went on doing what they had to do.
Qin Mo walked to the door of the combat conference room and pushed the door in.
Crane and some other high-ranking personnel in the room gathered in front of the hologram to discuss things, and when they saw Qin Mo, they immediately retreated and made way for a way.
Qin Mo walked to the hologram and watched.
The hologram already shows the situation of the entire battlefield, and the own army is entrenched in the position, and with advanced weapons and equipment, it has defended the attack.
But the enemy is not just attacking positions outside the passage, in the area of the lower nest near the passage they are already preparing to build a defensive line.
"Sure enough, the war started...... Klein looked sad.
"Have the army destroy the stationary weapons on the position, and then teleport back to the nest." Qin Mo didn't listen to Klein's complaints and gave him his orders.
Klein immediately picked up the communicator and conveyed the order in the communication channel, and then asked in disbelief, "Are we going to retreat?" ”
"The passage was already blocked, and the positions in front of the passage have lost their meaning of existence after the confrontation turned into war." Qin Mo's eyes stared at the hologram, "They have to retreat, assemble, prepare, and then directly teleport behind the enemy army to launch a surprise attack." ”
"Understood." Klein suddenly realized.
Qin Mo immediately worked out a detailed teleportation assault plan with the people present, including where the unmanned artillery should be teleported to start the shelling, as well as the teleportation positions of each regiment.
