Chapter 367 Decapitation Operation
“Dear viewers, according to the news we just received, the federal army deployed on Para 4 brazenly used long-range rockets to attack Refugee Camp 5.”
< br>In the live broadcast room of Eye of Truth, the cat lady anchor interrupted the latest news with a solemn look.
But even if she didn't say it, the audience who had just been watching the live broadcast also felt the earth-shattering scene when the long-range rocket hit their faces through the first-person perspective of a ground force as the live broadcast screen.
Although these plasma warheads were intercepted by the huge deflection field that enveloped the camp, and were detonated in advance under the stimulation of the arc.
But the moment they saw the huge plasma fireballs exploding densely above their heads, many viewers even had the illusion of high temperatures that would burn their hair
It also made the 'Eye of Reality' This live broadcast is very effective.
When the Federation launched a counterattack with public opinion, some voices of "disregarding the overall situation" appeared in some systems controlled by the opposition parties within the Federation and that had not been attacked by the Empire. The local residents also expressed their feelings towards those Empire civilians Have some compassion.
After the 'Little Blue Man' was brought out during the 'Eye of Reality' live broadcast, the autonomous governments of these galaxies began to see the federal government's jokes, and the Civilians have denounced why the elite secret forces of the Federation are so "unbearable".
Later, they watched almost with their own eyes as the Hanged Man controlled the 'chess pieces' and 'puppet' to launch attacks.
Especially in the end, the move to directly attack one's own people in order to achieve the goal caused public opinion on the Internet to reach such an extent that even the relevant federal departments could not delete it.
After the footage of long-range rocket attacks on refugee camps was broadcast, public opinion in these opposition systems was finally completely detonated.
"Isn't it too much to use rockets to wash the ground in a refugee camp?"
"But the federal government also took counterattacks because of suicide bomb attacks."
< br>"Didn't you look carefully? The suicide bomb attack was obviously a show directed by the federal government, just to stir up trouble! These officials are so fucking useless, even their own troops have become victims!"
"You just believe whatever is said on the live broadcast? Oh, you are so naive."
"Hey, here comes the 'Duxing Emperor'~"
The live broadcast channel of 'Eye of Truth' and various The major mainstream portals have now been flooded with heated debates among the "onlookers".
The opposition party, which had been dormant for a long time after the outbreak of the war, finally got a chance to fight back. It began to use public opinion to criticize the CIA verbally and in writing, and at the same time began to secretly attack the ruling party. .
It must be said that the federal opposition parties reacted very quickly. The live broadcast of the ‘Eye of Truth’ is still going on here, and they have already produced a large number of articles and news to set the pace on the Internet.
Its speed was so fast that Lilith, who had been monitoring it in the virtual space, showed a surprised expression.
"Master, you humans are really efficient when doing these things. It would be great if it were used in other places."

——
On the surface of Para No. 4, Federal Army Lieutenant General Van Fleet ordered the two combined brigades responsible for the siege to concentrate their superior firepower and try every means to crush the 'turtle' of Refugee Camp No. 5. Shell', he received an urgent communication from the fleet.
"What? Two light cruisers are lowering their orbital altitude? Tell me again what words were typed on the side?" Van Fleet frowned,
"Then we don't have to pretend to be a gentleman. "
At this moment, the federal army lieutenant general suddenly felt like he had fallen into an ice cave in 39 days, something related to combat objectives and troop command. It was all forgotten in this moment.
"Quick! The headquarters is transferred urgently!"
"But General, the ministries are launching attacks now, so if the headquarters is transferred now"
Van Fleet's combat staff still didn't know what was going on, so he stepped forward to persuade him, but was rudely interrupted by the Army Lieutenant General.
“The command headquarters will be transferred immediately, immediately! TMD execute the order quickly, don’t let me say it a second time!”
Faced with Van Fleet’s roar, the combat staff and Everyone in the command post did not dare to say anything more and immediately started emergency evacuation procedures.
Soon, the general headquarters, which was guarded by a synthetic brigade, started to move. Some heavy vehicles were also abandoned. Everyone took the key equipment and quickly boarded the vehicle, heading towards a certain place without looking back. Start running wildly in one direction.
The reason why Van Fleet made this decision is also very simple, that is, he believed that Atlas might be going to carry out a 'decapitation' attack on this headquarters.
Atlas's stunning blow on Rubion 5 not only opened up the situation in the battle, but also made the Federation realize the value of this orbital strike method. Although the Federation is still in the process of relevant experiments and the fleet has not mastered such ground support 'skills', the CIA and military leaders, including campaign commanders like Van Fleet, all know that Atlas has Such means of attack.
The reason why this news was limited to high-level dissemination is also very simple, that is, the federal high-level officials are worried that combat forces-especially the army ground forces will be attacked by such temporarily undefendable orbital strikes. , and morale dropped significantly.
You can’t let the infantrymen on the ground continue to fight knowing that there is a big ax hanging on their heads, right?
A few minutes later, at the same time that a large number of combat vehicles and functional vehicles from the general headquarters began to move, everyone saw four 'flashes' falling from the sky in the distance.
Then there was the sky on the other side of the horizon, which seemed to be burned red, and the loud noise that shook the earth.
"Wait, it doesn't seem like the target is here?"
A doubt arose in Van Fleet's heart, and then there was an unpleasant premonition, and this premonition also succeeded in 1 Minutes later it became a reality.
"General General, the firepower battalions of the 72nd Brigade and the 81st Brigade were attacked by enemy orbits. The battalion headquarters has lost contact. Based on the assessment of the footage captured by the drone, the loss may exceed 90%"
The command cabin suddenly became quiet, and everyone wondered if their ears had heard it wrong.
The firepower battalion of the Federal Army's heavy combined brigade generally consists of three self-propelled artillery companies and a long-range rocket company. When launching an attack, they do not cluster together, but are deployed dispersedly in accordance with combat regulations.
And now you are being hit by the opponent's orbital attack that you have never seen before? Could it be that Atlas dropped a tactical nuclear bomb?
But unfortunately, the communications staff officer who reported the situation did not revise his statement, but continued.
"In addition, the 81st Brigade is responsible for attacking the two combined battalions of Refugee Camp No. 5. Their battalion headquarters, rearguard units, and firepower companies are also suspected to have been attacked, and contact has been lost."
Hearing this, Lieutenant General Van Fleet also felt a complex emotion in his heart.
He didn't know whether he should be grateful that the general headquarters had not suffered a 'decapitation attack' from the other side, or whether he should feel sorry for the loss of soldiers and a large amount of equipment under his command, especially the important direct firepower.
But he calmed down quickly and said to the communications staff: "Contact the fleet and ask them to find a way to prevent Atlas from continuing such orbital strikes. Although this round did not attack here, it It won’t be the case next time!”
Van Fleet paused, and after making a quick decision in his mind, he continued:
“In addition, tell the fleet ‘Come on! Without being disrespectful, please ask them to launch an orbital strike on Refugee Camp No. 5! At the same time, it is also sent to the attacking troops to avoid the kill zone."
After hearing the last order, the communications staff hesitated. For a moment, but he didn't dare to say anything at this moment and quickly turned around and left.
It was only then that Lieutenant General Van Fleet heaved a sigh of relief when he saw everyone in the command cabin starting to get busy again.
He fell down on the chair, while thinking about Atlas' unconventional play.
He was very confused about why the other party did not attack the headquarters directly when they had such an orbital strike method that could not be intercepted?
Although the results of almost annihilating two firepower battalions and two forward attack battalions were significant, and alleviated the urgent needs of Refugee Camp No. 5, from the perspective of the entire battle, no matter what There is no greater value in directly attacking the general headquarters.
And judging from the current situation of the confrontation, the opponent's commander is not mediocre. The previous series of commands and responses were excellent. In theory, it is not There should be a bias in such a simple measure of 'battle value'.
"Unless the other party has other back-up plans!"
Van Fleet sat up in shock while dying of illness, and almost jumped out of the chair.
"Everyone is ready to fight! The convoy turned around and moved closer to the position of the 66th Brigade"
"Boom!"
An explosion came from outside the command cabin, interrupting Van Fleet's order also plunged the entire headquarters convoy into complete chaos.
