Chapter 147: 088 Strategy: Drive Away Wolves and Chase Tigers [Fourth Watch]
The commander of the fourth battalion of the Royal Guard Army of the Luofeng Empire, Yang Ming’s nominal superior, Aisi Taluo Star, stood on the bridge of the 004 landing ship, his face pale.
He did not understand why fate was so cruel to him.
He was supposed to be transferred in just a few days!
If everything had gone smoothly, without so many unexpected events, his dazzling deputy commander, Yang Ming, covered in gleaming jewels, would have assumed the role of the fourth battalion commander after completing the promotion ceremony.
In that case, Major Aisi could have gone to an idle department and continued using his rank to fill the void of noble honor.
In such a small country, getting as far as he had was already quite impressive.
Yang Ming was suddenly assassinated.
The anti-mechanical missile destroyed everything that was supposed to be beautiful!
The sudden orders forced Major Aisi to take this group of soldiers, whose cerebral cortex seemed to be filled with muscles, to the most chaotic and dangerous area of the Luofeng Empire: the Fifth Administrative Star.
When the transport ship directly entered the atmosphere and pressed toward the rebel headquarters, Major Aisi finally received the exact combat objective.
“Eliminate the New Federation Agent group in the shortest time possible!”
Major Aisi really wanted to ask if those generals who slapped their thighs to decide this battle plan were out of their minds.
The second most powerful nation in the Galaxy, known as the strongest agent team, the New Federation Agents, were they that easy to eliminate?
They even only brought a mere six hundred people!
To carry out an extermination battle, at least ten times more personnel were needed, along with heavy artillery bombardment from space to destroy the solid structure of the commercial building!
With just this bit of military strength, this equipment, this firepower… wasn’t this just sending themselves to their deaths?
But military orders were still military orders.
No matter how dissatisfied Major Aisi was in his heart, at this moment he could only continuously distribute combat instructions, doing his own duties.
Major Aisi did not intend to charge forward later, even though he had already put on a full-body trigger shield purchased privately, he did not intend to go to the frontline.
Outside the landing ship, a row of unmanned gunboats whizzed past.
Major Aisi opened the battle report summary channel in front of him, unable to help but raise an eyebrow.
Their assault boat formation had already started engaging the ground rebels, easily destroying the rebel air defense positions under the guidance of accurate intelligence.
The rebels, heralded by the military as an elite armed force, were hurriedly deploying airships, which were in fact rudimentary weapon platforms modified from hover cars.
Ahead, half the gunboats fired a salvo… their side seized air superiority.
Major Aisi’s mindset underwent a subtle change.
Was all of the New Federation’s defensive force concentrated in the commercial building they were set to attack?
Major Aisi turned his head to gaze at the three-dimensional sand table at his side; that commercial building was indeed a good place to hide soldiers.
‘If there were two large-caliber laser cannons hidden inside, that would be terrible,’ Major Aisi thought worriedly.
At this moment, thick smoke suddenly billowed from the commercial building right in front of Major Aisi.
At the start of the landing operation, normal communications had already been established between the command levels of the third and fourth battalions, and now the communication channel carried somewhat exaggerated descriptions from colleagues:
“A squad went in ahead of time!”
“Damn it, we couldn’t grab the first credit! We’ve traveled this far, and now we’re the reinforcements?”
“This squad successfully evaded the New Federation Agents’ reconnaissance, and they seemed to have caused a lot of destruction; it’s simply unimaginable.”
“Look, guys! You should all be able to see this intelligence.”
“The ground floor parking lot of the commercial building just experienced a huge explosion, and the access road was completely sealed off! The first floor was frozen? It seems to be some kind of special liquid bomb…”
“Great chaos appeared in the middle parking lot and the top parking lot, where those armored hover cars suddenly went out of control but seemed to be remotely controlled, directly jamming their bodies into various passages, sealing off one exit after another, and even directly crashing several federal soldiers.”
“Where is the battle still happening?” Major Aisi asked.
“The top of the commercial building, explosions just came from the top, the assault boats already rushed near the commercial building, sending back some footage… dammit!”
Major Aisi slightly frowned.
He did not like his colleagues’ crude language, which lacked the grace of nobility.
It was not elegant at all.
But over the next half-minute, the communication channel was filled with waves of swearing.
“Send me a video, will you gentlemen?”
Major Aisi frowned and urged. As soon as he finished speaking, a segment of fierce combat near the floor-to-ceiling windows appeared on the projection screen in front of him.
On the left side of the video, more than twenty Federation soldiers in desert camouflage gear used the raised surfaces of the corridor’s walls to set up defensive postures with personal protective energy shields fully deployed, each gun barrel locked on the area ahead.
The image remained still for more than ten seconds.
A shadow suddenly darted out from the fire equipment door on the side of the corridor, continuously firing a handgun, extending two light shields, forcing its way into the crowd under enemy fire!
Major Aisi’s eyelid twitched fiercely.
Just when he thought this shadow was doomed, it maneuvered back and forth in the narrow terrain with extremely fast movements and swift reactions, repeatedly pressing the handgun to the enemies’ foreheads.
The battle lasted only twenty seconds.
Major Aisi couldn’t even clearly see most of the combat maneuvers.
But when these Federation soldiers fell, the shadow paused for a few seconds, leaning against a wall to check his weapons and ammunition.
Major Aisi recognized the back of that shadow…
