"How is the situation on the Chiron?!" the defender asked quickly while trembling.
"The Gaian phaser hit the ion thruster on one side of it! It is requesting an emergency landing now, otherwise it will crash!!" Captain Cade's voice seemed to be roaring in the communication.
On the central command table, the fire and thick smoke on the side of a frigate of the "Aurora" appeared in front of Ahir. It had slowed down and appeared to be about to fall slowly.
"Allow Chiron to make an emergency landing!" the defense commander gave a firm order. "Our remaining three warships will turn to attack the fourth fortification area again. The defenders there can no longer hold on, and we must provide air fire support.
”
The shuttle battleship has now flown out of the range of ground bombardment, and the entire fuselage has become very stable again.
"I really underestimated the Gaia task force that dared to attack the Somo Satellite System this time!" Ahil held his forehead with his big hand, and inserted his long fingers into his neatly combed black hair. Everyone had a look on his face.
Looking nervously at the defenders, one of their four battleships had been shot down in the first attack after returning.
The defense envoy looked at the simulation screen of Somo No. 8 Base displayed on the 3D ion stereoscopic display. Countless smoke pillars and explosions arose from the entire cross-shaped base, and many ground fortifications had been reduced to ruins.
Ahir's face was pale, with cold sweat on his forehead. He knew very well: What he encountered was a Gaia ground force with the most powerful combat effectiveness. It dared to directly attack Somo's main satellite base, and launched it without anyone noticing.
Such a violent attack killed the defense officer and several senior commanders immediately. This was already the best record of the Gaia army.
Judging from the ground scanning situation, the ground war was also very fierce, and the defenders of Somo 8 did not seem to have a big advantage.
"We move the attack from the third fortification area to the fourth fortification area!"
As soon as the defense envoy's order was issued, three small warships immediately bombarded the Gaia special forces attacking the third fortification area, causing heavy losses to the brigade led by Major General Yang, with more than 1,000 casualties almost instantly.
"We can't advance any further. Now we have turned to defense. There are too many wounded!"
When General Zimmerman heard Major General Yang's wailing in the communication, he felt his blood pressure rise suddenly, and a rush of hot blood rushed to his forehead.
"We have occupied the artillery control room in the fourth fortification area, and our artillery is already in place." Major General Karzemov's voice sounded, finally bringing good news.
"Very good..." Before the admiral could finish his words, he heard a panicked noise from the other end.
It turned out that the three warships arranged in a triangle flew away low and began to carry out air strikes on the fourth fortification. The top turret of the warships emitted a burst of extremely powerful photon arc cutting lines. Wherever this light went, there was a sea of light.
Explosion.
"Shoot them all down!" Carl Zimmerman growled angrily. "It would be best to use Plato's latest cannon matrix to shoot down these stubborn Platos! Let them know that they will die if they come back.
!"
After finishing speaking, a burst of extremely powerful blue light shot straight into the sky, heading straight towards the three attacking Platos.
The purpose of defense commander Ahir's trip was to inspect the newly installed pulse cannon matrices on a series of satellites in Somo. He never expected that he would be bombarded by his own new cannon.
Of the two remaining escort battleships of the "Dawn Goddess", one "Medusa" was directly hit by the energy ammunition area and exploded. The entire battleship turned into a huge flame-shaped explosion in the air. All personnel on the ship were killed, and no one was killed.
One survived.
Another ship, the Tianma, was hit on one side and crashed to the ground with black smoke, causing unknown casualties.
"We were hit! The engine exploded!..." Cade's crazy roar was transmitted in the cabin, and everything was shaking crazily.
Among the three warships, only the "Aurora", the highest-level defensive armored warship, was bombarded. After being bombarded, the hull shook violently, causing the crew on board to stagger almost immediately.
"The quality of the new device's pulse cannon matrix is excellent!"
Ahil never forgets to joke in critical moments, but even with his balance, he is still swaying from side to side as if he were standing on a skateboard, and many people around him have been knocked to the ground.
He came here to check the installation status of the latest cannon, but ironically he was bombarded by Plato's latest defense system.
"The entire Medusa was killed, and the Pegasus was shot down..." Captain Cade's roar was distorted by various noises, "We must make an emergency landing!..."
"All personnel put on combat armor, are fully armed, and are preparing to make an emergency landing at the nearest place!" Ahir showed a calm and unhurried general demeanor. He was a frontline general and was familiar with the variables of the fierce battlefield.
So, everyone on the "Aurora", whose hull was severely damaged and was shaking violently, staggered around and put on combat armor as quickly as possible, and picked up various equipment to arm themselves.
The biggest feature of the latest pulse gun matrix is that the barrel can rotate freely, shoot 180 degrees, and even shoot in parallel.
Therefore, it is meaningless for the stricken "Dawn Goddess" to find ways to escape from the traditional bombardment area.
After the bombardment energy was restored to full level, the ground bombardment matrix fired another fierce bombardment, hitting the "Goddess of Dawn".
This dark metallic armored defense warship with graceful lines finally exploded in the air. In an instant, a huge red and black explosion cloud was emitted.
Then the machine body smashed down and crashed not far away. After an explosion with a "boom", a billowing black smoke shot straight into the sky on the horizon.
Watching all this from a distance, General Zimmerman showed a slight expression of joy. He said slightly sarcastically: "Now I finally get benevolence and justice."
"Major Park, go check to see if they are all dead." He ordered to another deputy.
"During the attack on Somo No. 8, if a senior official of Plato's Privy Council was accidentally killed, it would be a waste of blood and sacrifice for the Skeleton Knights." The admiral murmured to himself.
It was a huge area scattered with debris from various aircraft, with flames and billowing black smoke everywhere.
Major Park led 300 soldiers to surround him.
"The shuttle battleship has been completely blown to pieces!"
"No one survived, such a tragic collision and explosion..."
"It was a complete mess, there was nothing, not even corpses."
The young soldiers in the intercom chattered all over the place.
They saw the defense warship that was completely blown to pieces, but what was strange was that there were no bodies or limbs at such a tragic crash site, not even a single survivor.
"Is it all vaporized?!" Major Park looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
"There is nothing, we found nothing, everything was blown up and burned... There is no identifying thing, and there is no body." He quickly connected to Admiral Zimmerman's communication, "We
Prepare to return to the team immediately."
Just as he was leading his men back, suddenly a dense burst of laser beams came towards them, and a large number of laser grenades flew towards them. In an instant, there were explosions everywhere.
"We were attacked!"
"Counterattack quickly! Quickly!"
"Get cover quickly!"
This sudden attack killed the Gaians and turned them upside down.
It turns out that when Plato's highest-level armored defense ship crashes, it will automatically cover every person with vital signs in the ship with a protective ball. This thin layer of transparent ball wall with a slight glow will provide comprehensive protection.
protection, and will instantly pop out of the broken fuselage after a collision.
Although there is a special balancing device, the huge speed and kinetic energy will still make the people inside spin around and feel dizzy. However, it is really remarkable that people can survive such a huge explosion and high temperature.
What a blessing.
In the end, all members of the "Dawn Goddess" survived.
For Ahir, the rolling and bumping of the protective ball are nothing to mention. After all, he is a transforming fighter pilot. Therefore, he was the first to step out of the protective ball that opened like lotus petals, and immediately began to command all surviving personnel.
Get into battle.
The vicinity happened to be the entrance to the IV fortification area where the Gaians raided, so corpses and weapons were everywhere. We even saw a few crawler-type shooting robots that were crushed under the debris of the building and were still functioning.
Therefore, before Gaia's special forces arrived, the Plato soldiers were quickly armed.
Moreover, the survivors of the crashed escort battleship "Pegasus" quickly came to the rescue when they saw the crash of the "Goddess of Dawn".
Finally, the Ashir Defense Envoy could summon 53 Plato warriors with combat capabilities. They were hiding in the ruins of the gap, waiting for the Gaians to come and encircle them.
Carl Zimmerman heard Major Park's cry for help on the communication.
He thought to himself, he really didn't expect that this senior official of the Privy Council was so different from the senior official of the Gaia War Department, and his combat effectiveness was so high that it was a big surprise.
"I have to go meet him and send him to heaven completely!" Zimmerman said to himself. The face of this senior official seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it at all.
"Follow me! Hurry!" the general ordered loudly to his men, and then personally led them towards the distance where the smoke was billowing.
The special combat armor can run extremely fast and save energy.
Zimmerman thought that he had been a Gaia soldier for 22 years, and all his memories of Plato were blurred, as if he had lived in another world. However, this Privy Council officer gave him an unusually warm feeling, which made him feel so familiar.
It feels a little baffling.
After receiving reinforcements from two battalions, the Skeleton Knights were finally able to launch a massive counterattack. With their absolute numerical superiority, they used ferocious firepower to suppress the enemy. For a time, countless bullet beams were tilted towards the Platos who were stubbornly resisting behind the bunker.
Light up the ruins.
After throwing away 5 or 6 corpses, the Platos retreated into the ruins of the gap, with a hall hidden behind it.
Admiral Zimmerman immediately ordered a special infrared positioning detection system to determine the opponent's defensive position, but apparently this small group of Plato warriors was very experienced and used interference waves, making it impossible for the Gaians to locate.
On the Gaian side, Major Park's men suffered nearly 200 casualties, which almost kept all the medical soldiers busy, constantly using medical robots and medical boards to transport the wounded.
"The fighting power is very strong! It has been holding us back for so long!" Carl Zimmerman said almost through gritted teeth.
"Snipe the senior officials of the Privy Council from the left and right sides." Before preparing to rush inside, the general specially deployed two snipers to kill the brave and cunning senior Plato official.
He brought them too much trouble. This is because they spent so much effort and wasted so much time before they had time to assist the third fortification area.
"Surrender! You are surrounded! If you surrender your gun and do not kill, we will give preferential treatment to Plato's prisoners!"
On one side, the Gaians played the Platonic shouts of the artificial intelligence voice system, while on the other side, the special forces formed a formation and prepared to break into the ruins.
After waiting for nearly 10 minutes and receiving no response at all, the special forces of the Skeleton Knights relied on their huge numerical advantage to blast away all kinds of building debris and rushed in amid a laser beam.<
/p>
There were far fewer resistance personnel than expected, and there was no such strong firepower network or appropriate tactics as before.
"We killed him!"
After hearing the news, Carl Zimmerman said "Okay" mechanically.
He should have been overjoyed, and he spent so much money just for this thing - to kill a high-ranking official of Plato.
If he can return to Gaia safely, the Ministry of War will definitely promote him to general. This is the highest-ranking Platonic official killed by Gaia soldiers since the 4th century.
The admiral led his men quickly into the ruins of the already crumbling hall. Only the tall man in the Privy Council uniform fell in a pool of blood. The other Platos raised their hands in surrender, and there was silence.
Zimmerman took a careful look at the face of the deceased. The victim's head was hit by a laser beam, and his scalp seemed to have lost a piece, and his face was covered in blood.
The admiral frowned, paused for a second, and said:
"It's not him at all! He's not the man I saw wearing the uniform of a high-ranking official!"
Although he is about the same height, he is a young soldier with an oriental face. He is definitely not a white tiger knight around 40 years old. Except for his black hair, he is completely different from the man in the impression of fighting hard while running.
The admiral called up the projection video and watched it again.
"That high-ranking official exchanged clothes with a Platonic Asian soldier!" Zimmerman said with certainty.
But why is this? He raised his head and looked around, and couldn't help but have a strange premonition.
Could it be?
Suddenly, a group of Plato's small drones "Clownfish" flew straight down from the ceiling that was full of collapses and cracks. A burst of crazy bullets were denser than raindrops, directly attacking where Admiral Zimmerman was.
Position, he was caught off guard and killed the guards and followers around the general.
