Chapter 251 Psychic Centralized Management Center

Major General Benjamin was taken away by the military police.

Ralph, the commander-in-chief of Thunder Defense, was also handed over to the custody of the military police by the special operations team of the Atlas Training Team.

After the Galaxy Autonomous Government authorized Atlas to take over command, Amber asked Lilith to "openly" invade the internal networks of all coalition forces currently on the battlefield.

At this time, he had already taken down the second Imperial HCP that was going to be used to launch tactical nuclear bombs, and was waiting for the HCP platoon to recover the nuclear bombs to arrive.

While waiting, he opened the battlefield situation map. Under the condition of 'forced deep networking', the movements of the entire coalition forces had become clearer.

The two brigade-level units on the west side have basically lost their combat effectiveness and are disintegrating towards the rear.

Although the two brigades of Thunder Defense located in the middle of the front were in chaos when they lost their overall command at the beginning, they quickly stabilized under the guidance of middle- and lower-level officers.

After a brief discussion, these officers also agreed to accept the temporary command of Atlas Private Military Company.

After all, it is impossible for Thunder Defense to airdrop a commander to them now, and it is obvious that the command level at Atlas is more professional than them.

A professional commander can undoubtedly better ensure the survival rate of his subordinate units.

What's more, we are on the battlefield now. Those middle and lower-level officers who need to face the battle on the front line know that they must not mess up or fail to cooperate at this time.

Otherwise, when the imperial troops attack from the front, no one will be able to escape.

Therefore, at the request of Atlas Command, the two brigade-level units of Thunder Defense have allocated some mobile forces to conduct reconnaissance on the west side of the battle line, and cooperate with the garrison forces at the rear to gather the remaining soldiers.

The main force on the front remained stationary for the time being, and set up all anti-aircraft weapons and field radars, and began to enter the Tumu Lao's favorite part of "building a stronghold and fighting a dull war".

As long as we can find a way to intercept the incoming tactical nuclear bombs and stabilize the front line under the attack of the imperial troops, it will be considered a great victory.

As for the eastern front on the right side of the tactical map, the Black Frontier Defense Task Force, which had withdrawn in advance under Atlas's warning, has now begun to cooperate with Atlas's combat units.

The surrounded 49th Brigade had lost its two battalion-level units with the strongest combat capabilities, so it had no ability to break out of the blockade.

After the armored command vehicle where their brigade commander was located was melted by Murat using a 'prize shot' from a long distance, the imperial soldiers who lost their will to fight surrendered one after another.

After handing these prisoners over to other coalition forces that followed up, Atlas formed a mixed brigade and continued the attack with the Black Blade Defense Task Force.

The ground commander of Black Frontier Defense also had an enlightenment now, because he found that as long as he followed the Atlas combat troops, he could get some meat.

The offensive nature of this unit was so strong that the Black Front defense units easily followed them and became the 'spearhead of the attack' without encountering many battles.

And compared to other fronts, which have been passively defensive, the right-wing front displayed an atmosphere of "high morale" due to the performance of the Atlas troops.

In this case, the 54th Armored Brigade Combat Team, which was originally going to relieve the friendly forces and open up a breakout channel, ran into the Atlas mixed brigade, which had already adjusted its attack direction.

——

"Lord Viscount, we lost contact with the 54th Brigade after they exchanged fire with the enemy. The other party should have launched a large-scale electronic suppression operation."

"Reconnaissance units from multiple armies reported that the enemy has stopped advancing, and has begun to stabilize the front and begin to establish air defense zones. Coupled with the unknown HCP's hunting of our nuclear attack team, the tactical nuclear weapons have been prepared before the war. All forward launch sites established have been disabled.”

"At present, we have lost the monitoring of three tactical nuclear bomb launch boxes. They are likely to be captured by the enemy. The remaining nuclear attack teams on the front have begun to retreat!"

The reports of the combat staff continued to sound in the command vehicle, and the electronic sand table continued to refresh the signs of the current battle situation along with their reports.

The Atlas troops, marked with the 'Unknown' logo and the 'High Threat Mark', were like a sharp knife inserted into the defense line of the remaining imperial soldiers.

Viscount Drake, the commander-in-chief of the remaining empire, fell into silence as he looked at the enemy and enemy situation map on the electronic sandbox.

The enemy brigade-level combat unit in front of them was completely different from all the enemies they had faced before, including the planet's ground defense forces.

Not only does it have strong support from orbit, the command level has clear operational goals and determination, and the battalion-level units below also have strong combat execution capabilities.

Moreover, according to the reports from the frontline troops, the enemy's infantry units were not human beings, but some "orcs" who were strong and fierce in combat.

"Roma? This is really a different armed force."

Viscount Drake secretly thought to himself that he knew very well that the campaign goals he had set before could no longer be achieved.

Because this large-scale counterattack was originally based on the enemy's forces underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly.

Once the opponent stops advancing aggressively and starts to engage in positional warfare, our own side, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, will fall into a passive position.

Let the 54th Brigade withdraw first? Save strength to drag into street fighting?

This thought flashed through Viscount Drake's mind.

Although if the navy fleet does not come to support, the abandoned troops on the ground will only have two options: perish together or surrender.

But it is still worth it to drag one more federal man to the back.

Just as he was about to raise his head and give orders, a familiar loud noise came, and then the armored command vehicle also shook.

A red dot was immediately marked on the electronic sand table - it was a position in the attack direction of the 54th Brigade.

"My lord! The enemy just launched another round of orbital strikes, and the landing point is expected to be on the attack surface of the 54th Brigade!"

A combat staff officer said in panic, and the expression on his face has well shown his feelings at the moment.

Fear and fear.

Viscount Drake sighed. He knew that this "Broken Blade" counterattack could not go on. Several blades had been cut off. How could he "break the blade"?

And the other commander was obviously a ruthless person. Knowing that his own troops on the west must have been defeated, he simply gave up rescue and turned to attack the enemy on the east front frantically.

Judging from the opponent's strategy of "encirclement and annihilation", this commander obviously also intends to annihilate the Empire's manpower.

"Find a way to contact the 54th Brigade and ask them to retreat! If long-distance communication fails, fire flares or send a few HCPs to their positions. In short, ask them to retreat immediately!

As for the troops on other fronts, stop attacking! Take turns to cover and retreat towards the city!"

He paused and glanced at the staff in the armored command vehicle.

"Gentlemen, prepare for street fighting."

--

"Boss, all fronts report that the enemy has begun to retreat!"

"Received, let all troops stabilize the front and remain alert, send more observation posts forward to prevent the Empire's troops from counterattacking again!"

Amber, who retreated to the vicinity of the main force, was about to jump off the HCP to rest for a while after giving the order, when he heard the call from the front infiltration team on the communication channel.

"Boss, this is the infiltration team of the teaching team. We found a strange facility 5 kilometers away from the front line. It seems to be related to psychics. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Hearing this, Amber immediately gave up the idea of ​​getting off the plane.

After asking the ground staff to throw up a bottle of energy drink and energy bar, he quickly swallowed a few mouthfuls, closed the cockpit again and rushed to the newly marked location on the map.

For some reason, Amber remembered an old game he had played.

In that game, the player would also play the role of commander in a certain data, but the people under him were useless and had to do everything personally.

There was even an outrageous task of "unclogging the toilet"

A few minutes later, Amber drove the HCP to the location of the infiltration team.

This is a hemispherical building hidden in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city, like a huge pot lid turned upside down on the ground.

The gate of the building and many walls have collapsed under the attack of weapons. It is obvious that this place has also been affected by the war.

Amber set the HCP to alert mode - this is a new feature that the Atlas HCP troops will soon have, and is currently being tested on Amber's plane.

After Lilith upgraded the combat assistance AI, the HCP can enter the autonomous alert mode after the pilot leaves, and perform basic defensive counterattacks after being attacked.

Then, he took off the "quick-detachable" heavy hydraulic anti-G suit on his body, which is also a new gadget that will be equipped with the HCP troops, which can greatly increase the speed at which pilots can take it off in an emergency.

By the way, the current Atlas HCP combat force has introduced the automatic wearable workstation developed by Atlas Industries based on the exoskeleton-assisted wearable device used by mobile infantry.

As long as the pilots stand on the platform of the workstation, they can quickly put on the heavy hydraulic anti-G suit like a good brother who costs 50 yuan, greatly improving the efficiency of the attack.

After doing all this, Amber jumped off the HCP, greeted the surrounding infiltration team members, and walked to the gate of the building.

Although the nameplate of the building was damaged, Amber still recognized the words on it.

"Rubyon V Psychic Centralized Management Center?"

He immediately realized that this was the psychic shelter on this planet.

When the Federation found that young psychics had "out of control" in the civilian population, they would generally be sent to this shelter for centralized management.

When they reach the age of 18, those children with excellent grades and outstanding psychic talents will be sent to military schools and trained to become psychic agents like Amber.

As for the other children?

The game plot does not explain where they went.

However, one thing is certain: players have sneaked into many such facilities, but they will only see underage psychics and have never found any traces of adult psychics.

"Boss, we have searched, and there is no one else around."

A member of the infiltration team came over and reported to Amber:

"The Imperial Army has evacuated, and the people in this building are all in the hall."

Amber nodded, followed the team member in, and quickly understood what "all in the hall" meant.

More than 20 bodies were lying in a pool of blood in the hall. They were wearing white coats like researchers and looked like staff members of this psychic shelter.

Some of the female staff members were half-naked, and the white coats on their bodies were obviously covered by the members of the infiltration team.

"Boss, we have also searched the building and found no survivors.

We suspect that the imperial forces "dealt with" the staff here and took away the psychics before leaving."

The team member handed a roster to Amber and said:

"We checked the list, the staff. All are here, and the list shows that there should be 13 underage psychics here, but we didn't find any."

"It shouldn't be. Why do the imperial forces want these underage psychics? They don't have much combat power."

Amber shook his head and activated his psychic vision.

Soon, a different world appeared in front of him, and at the same time he also sensed a faint psychic reaction.

He slowly lowered his head in the direction of the psychic and looked at his feet.

Then, 13 psychic reactions were discovered deep underground in the building.
