At the headquarters of the 502nd Army Group in the fifth theater of the city of Malaga on the planet Mutus, a general with three shining gold stars on his shoulders was listening to a colonel's report with a frown.

"So, even you guys don't know why such a large number of rebels suddenly appeared in the xxx area?" , frowned and pondered.

"Yes, General!" The colonel hesitated for a while and replied in a low voice respectfully, lowering his head slightly, as if he did not dare to look at the general's old eyes that were cloudy but still shining sharply.

"I really don't know why the war zone supports your intelligence agencies!" The general snorted coldly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone, and ordered with an old face: "Immediately find out the numbers and details of the rebels who are gathering in the xxx area." Troop strength and its combat mission objectives, and by the way, find out who the opponent's supreme commander is, understand!"

"Yes, General! This subordinate will do it now!" The gray-haired general exuded the aura of a superior, which made the colonel a little breathless. He suppressed the cold sweat that was streaming down his forehead, and bowed. I responded. [

"You'd better not let me use the reconnaissance unit directly under the headquarters of the Army Group, Colonel!" The general put the pipe in his hand back to his mouth, exhaled two smoke rings, and said calmly.

"Please rest assured, general, the subordinates must find out the enemy's dynamics in the xxx area in the shortest possible time!" The colonel's heart skipped a beat, he stood up slightly, and expressed his opinion to the general.

"Well, let's go!" The admiral leaned back on the comfortable and spacious seat, waved his hand and took off the pipe, puffing out a long puff of green smoke.

"Obey, General!" The colonel stood up and saluted proudly, and hurried out of this not-so-plain office.

After the colonel went out, the admiral slowly closed his old eyes, his long gray eyebrows were tightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something.After a while, the admiral suddenly opened his eyes again, sat up from the soft seat, clicked on a holographic communication video on the desk, and ordered a major above: "Odin, let the reconnaissance brigade Colonel Singer, come over here! Also, connect me to the 118th Army Command immediately!"

This white-browed general is none other than General Op, the commander of the 502nd Army Group.Half an hour ago, Opple received information from the Eighth Space Fleet of the Fifth War Zone in space, saying that according to the ultra-long-range radar detection of the battlecruisers, it was discovered that several large numbers of warships suddenly appeared out of thin air in the xxx area. Rebel troops.These rebel forces seem to be gathering at a certain location. Not only are they huge in strength, but they also seem to have a lot of main combat equipment, including armored vehicles, fighter planes, etc., and they are likely to be the main force of the rebel army.

At this time, on the entire planet of Mutus, the Sharon rebels on almost all fronts showed faint signs of being about to be defeated. The xxx area was originally among the target groups that the 502nd Army Group would attack in the next stage. Before receiving the information from the Eighth Space Fleet, the intelligence agency directly under the Army Group believed that there was only a small outpost of the rebels there, and there was no How many rebel troops exist.However, the timely intelligence sent by the Eighth Fleet slapped the intelligence agency severely, and even Op, who was usually gentle and gentle, couldn't help but feel a little sullen.

The xxx area is the closest to the 502th Army under the 118nd Army Group, so Op decided to put aside the intelligence department and let the 118th Army cooperate with the reconnaissance brigade directly under the headquarters to conduct a detailed tactical reconnaissance of the rebels who were gathering in the area.Although doing so is somewhat of an afterthought, it is better than doing nothing.

At the same time, in the command headquarters of the Fifth War Zone in space, Auston was also fascinated by the holographic map of the planet Mutus, and he also received information about the sudden appearance of a large number of Sharon rebels in the xxx area.However, it was not the Eighth Space Fleet that sent the information first, but the 3rd Special Operations Brigade directly under the headquarters and the 28th Air Assault Division under Lin Bin's command.

Just the day before yesterday, in order to capture the escaped remnants of the 502th Gendarmerie Battalion directly under the 118th Army of the 8nd Army Group and the survivors of the 12th Marine Company such as Hao Yi, Oston did not hesitate to personally order the mobilization and transfer of 28 soldiers who were assigned to the reserve forces directly under the theater. The Air Assault Division, in cooperation with the 3rd Special Operations Brigade, forcibly entered the defense area of ​​the 502nd Army Group on the grounds of chasing and suppressing the remnants of the rebels to conduct a search mission.

However, dozens of hours passed, and apart from finding a secret cave base of the 8th Gendarmerie Brigade, the 3rd Special Operations Brigade and the 28th Air Assault Division had almost nothing, and Oston was so angry that his face remained livid.Just over an hour ago, Colonel Ge Linbin, Auston's default son-in-law, suddenly sent back a message from Mutus saying that the search force was first blocked by a small group of well-equipped rebel troops in the xxx area, and then It was found that there were several rebel forces nearby, whose strength was equivalent to that of the group army, and they were secretly gathering for an emergency in the xxx area.

This unexpected sudden situation made Orston have to consider whether to terminate the pursuit.You must know that such a large-scale operation by the rebels must have some important strategic purpose as usual, and it will inevitably alarm other combat troops in Mutus.This will inevitably greatly affect the search operations of the 3rd Special Warfare Brigade and the 28th Air Assault Division, and may even alarm the high-level federal military headquarters far away on the earth's parent planet.After much deliberation, Auston finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Anthony, immediately send a secret message to Senior Colonel Lin Bin, ordering him to lead the 28th Air Assault Division and the 3rd Special Operations Brigade to evacuate the xxx area and go to the 502nd Army Group defense area to rest, and then withdraw to the headquarters!" Oston clicked There was a communication screen on the table, and he gave an order to a major staff officer who appeared on it.

In the base of the Earth Federation Military Department, Art, the Minister of Military Intelligence, was frowning at the two pieces of information in his hand.One of the pieces of information is exactly the same as the content of the news received by Op and Auston. It is about the sudden appearance of a large number of Sharon rebels in the xxx area of ​​the Mutus planet. A message sent back by a special intelligence agent inside the top military.The news claimed that the high-level executives of Sharon’s new army decided to launch a planetary destruction plan code-named "Return to Zero" on the planet Mutus. Create a massive explosion for the entire planet.

After receiving the information, Yate judged with his keen intuition that these two seemingly unrelated pieces of information must be inextricably linked.It is very likely that a large number of rebels that suddenly appeared in the xxx area were assembled for the implementation of the so-called zeroing plan.However, about why the rebels assembled with such great fanfare and did not hesitate to expose their targets, how the zero-return plan was carried out, and why they chose the xxx area with complex terrain, Yate could not catch a sliver of useful information in his mind .

At this moment, what makes Yate even more inexplicably irritated is that about 20 hours ago, he should have successfully boarded the 8th Gendarmerie Battalion of the space transport ship directly under the military headquarters. The surviving team members suddenly lost contact, and there has been no news until now. The secret transport ship responsible for the pick-up had to leave Mutus quietly after waiting for several hours.In other words, those favorable witnesses that could help Art to bring down Auston smoothly disappeared without a sound. Although the remaining physical evidence is somewhat useful, it is not as convincing as these witnesses.

Seeing that the work was about to be done, but suddenly changed his mind at this time, how could this not make Art feel irritable.

"Lol, make arrangements for me. I'm going to visit Mutus myself!" After a moment of concentration, Yate got up and left the secret room, ordering a lieutenant who was guarding the door. [

Outside the city of Luair on the planet Mutus, on a hill near the logistics base of the 118th Army, there is a group of people wearing individual light armor, carrying all kinds of weird-looking "weapons and equipment" and busy with.This group of people dressed strangely. Although they were wearing the individual light armor of the federal army standard, the armor lining clothes were all kinds of casual clothes, and none of them wore standard holographic helmets.Taking a closer look, the backs of these people's armors all have a set of huge white letters "enn" printed on them.

"Currently, the counter-insurgency forces of the Fifth Theater of the Federation are progressing smoothly! Taking my current area as an example, a certain army under the 502nd Group Army Group of the Fifth Theater has broken through Lulu, an important transportation hub in the north of Mutus, two days ago. Al!" A tall, curvaceous, big-eyed beauty with smooth, light yellow hair, a delicate oval face, thin eyebrows, and a tall and graceful figure, was talking eloquently in front of a camera-like object, turning around and pointing fingers while talking. In the distant city of Louel and the temporary base at the bottom of the mountain, a clear and sweet voice echoed in the valley: "Now the morale of our counter-insurgency forces is high and the situation is invincible. We have reason to believe that it will not be long before our federal counter-insurgency forces will Can wipe out all the rebels on the Mutus planet, and successfully recover this portal planet that is very important to the Sharon sector! Thank you for your attention, enn field reporter Xia Li, in the Mutus Luai I will report in real time for you from outside the city!" As she spoke, this beautiful woman raised her red lips slightly, opened her teeth lightly, and put on a charming smile for the camera, coupled with her beautiful S-shaped figure, and Comparing with the light armor, the temptation of this almost god-level uniform is enough to make countless nerds *bleed to death* from their seven orifices.

"Crack!" At this moment, a loud and unpleasant voice of a drake violently shattered this magnificent picture, causing countless single men in front of the TV to hate the owner of this voice to the bone.But when the beautiful reporter heard the voice, she just breathed a sigh of relief, the touching smile faded away, and then she put on a calm and beautiful face, and began to dismantle the miniature headsets and other objects on her body.

"Everyone call it a day!" A short, fat middle-aged man raised his hands high in the crowd, then ran towards the beautiful reporter, licked his greasy face, and said with a flattering smile: " That Xia Li, you have worked hard! Can you do me a favor and go have some drinks together at night? I just found out that there is a bar in Luaire City..."

"No need! I'm not interested!" The beautiful reporter named Xia Li seemed to hate the middle-aged pudgy in front of her, she frowned slightly, and walked away on her own.

"Sister Xia Li, the 118th Army seems to be taking action again!" The middle-aged chunky man was taken aback by the rejection of the beautiful reporter. Just as he was about to catch up and continue to perform his tricks of picking up girls, a staff member suddenly pressed the headset and seemed to receive a message. , hurriedly stepped forward and said to the beautiful reporter.

"Oh? When did it happen?" The beautiful reporter asked hastily, her eyes lit up.

"The news I just received was from Henry who stayed at the headquarters of the 118th Army! He said that the 118th Army seems to be gathering urgently, and the scale of the operation is not small!"

"Let's go! Go back immediately!" The beautiful reporter flicked her hair and said a simple sentence to the crowd, and these people began to pack up all kinds of equipment in a hurry. It could be seen that her prestige among the crowd was far greater than that middle-aged pudgy.
