Chapter 982: A deserted planet
"The target planet has been issued.
All fleets, attack with all your strength!"
As the military order was issued, this corps of the United Government Army attacked directly towards the planet where the Black Gold Alliance's defense forces were suspected to be deployed.
As expected.
As soon as the United Government Army fleet entered the planet's near-Earth orbit, it was attacked fiercely by ground artillery fire.
Anti-aircraft missiles, laser weapons, pulse beams, quantum beams... countless attacks were fired from various positions on the ground towards the United Government Army in half space and half sky.
The United Government Army also fought back at the first time.
Under the United Government Army's powerful fleet advantage, the various attack locations on the surface of the planet were quickly razed to the ground.
In some places, there were even huge deep pits that sunk hundreds of meters below the ground.
Feeling the disappearance of ground attack firepower, the commander of the United Government Army was extremely confused.
There are still many artificial fortifications that can be detected on the surface of Mingxing Planet. Why has the attack from the Black Gold Alliance stopped?
The cessation of the attack by the Black Gold Alliance Army does not mean that the attack by the United Government Army will also stop.
Thousands of warships gathered on several planets and carried out orbital bombing on all the artificial bunker sites detected.
After several rounds of near-Earth orbit bombing, the United Government Army stopped the large-scale fire output.
Many fleets continued to penetrate the planet's atmosphere and hovered in the planet's space to provide fire cover for the troops preparing to land on the ground.
A large number of warships carrying ground troops and special forces began to land quickly to carry out ground force deployment.
Their entire corps formation must clear and capture these planets belonging to the Black Gold Alliance as quickly as possible.
"Quick! Quick!
Action! Follow up!"
The spacecraft landed, and the special forces deployed and dispersed to guard and stand guard for the subsequent landing troops.
Immediately afterwards, suspended armored vehicles, engineering vehicles, combat mecha troops, and synthetic corps all landed.
They quickly surrounded the artificial bunker gathering points, large, medium and small cities on the Black Gold Alliance planet.
After the combined army approached the city of the Black Gold Alliance planet, it launched a large-scale long-range artillery attack on the city.
The same situation as before.
After the combined army of the United Government Army approached the city, it encountered only a brief fire resistance.
After that, there was no movement.
The combined army entered the city and found that there was no one in the city.
Empty streets, randomly parked suspended vehicles, unlocked shops...
All the scenes show the weirdness of the city.
Some soldiers muttered:
"It's strange, the whole city seems to have no living people."
The superior officer lectured:
"Don't talk nonsense, there are no living people. Who attacked us just now?
Ghost?"
Hearing this, many soldiers shuddered.
The superior officer sent the subordinate officer to lead the troops to search all the buildings in the city that might hide enemy troops.
And now it has become a ruin, the firepower point that attacked their combined army before.
After the team below checked all the rooms in the building, no signs of human existence were found.
Of course, there are still many life forms, such as cockroaches and spiders.
The troops that went to the ruins to investigate the firepower point have also arrived at the target location.
When they peeled off the top layer of ruins, they saw the fortifications below.
The fortifications were not the bodies of the soldiers of the Black Gold Alliance Army.
Instead, they were broken and scrapped automatic defense machine guns.
Soon, the officer in charge of the command of the combined army received news from the troops below.
"Empty streets, no human cities, and all the firepower points of the automatic defense system.
Could it be that the Black Gold Alliance Army really evacuated everyone on the entire planet?
What exactly does the Black Gold Alliance Army want to do?"
Just as the officer was thinking seriously, he suddenly heard a young officer under his command casually say:
"The interstellar residents of the Black Gold Alliance evacuated too hastily, and almost all shops were too lazy to lock their doors.
It looks like they don't plan to come back to live again."
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
After hearing this casual remark from his officer, the general of the combined army immediately understood something.
He now understood why there was not even a single person left in this city on the Black Gold Alliance planet.
Why did they spend so much effort to deploy insignificant defensive firepower points and man-made bunkers that could be seen at a glance on a planet without people?
I'm afraid that the defensive fortifications that attacked the warships of the United Government Army were the same as the firepower resistance points they encountered.
They were all machine guns controlled by the automatic defense system, and there was not a single living person!
However, after understanding this, the general of the combined army did not feel the slightest bit of happiness.
Instead, he felt a deep fear in his heart.
He was almost dead, and shouted to his officers:
"Quick! Report the situation to the fleet!
Everyone evacuate immediately!
Return to the warship we came from as quickly as possible!"
......
The other army troops, in coordination with the special operations forces, attacked the ground air defense strongholds.
However, when they arrived at the destroyed anti-aircraft base, they dug up the ruins below to search for possible surviving enemy troops.
Similarly, all they dug up were scrapped turrets controlled by automatic defense systems, and no human bodies were found.
The news quickly reached the fleet headquarters in space.
The subordinate officers reported the news from the ground to the commander of this joint government army corps formation.
The corps formation commander looked at the summarized intelligence and muttered in confusion:
"Empty cities, false bunkers, and turrets all controlled by automatic defense systems.
What is the Black Gold Alliance Army trying to do?
Doing this is like not intending to defend the planet, but wanting to lure us to those planets..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly dilated.
There was no need for the corps fleet commander to give orders, and even the subordinate officers on the side thought of a possibility.
The Black Gold Alliance Army is going to blow up the planet!
"Quick!
Let all fleets retreat and stay away from the target planet!!"
However, before he could pass on this, he saw the starry sky outside the battleship command room become bright and dazzling.
There was silence in the vacuum of space.
There is no medium for sound transmission here.
The surfaces of several planets began to collapse inward almost at the same time.
Then, dazzling starlight spread out from the center of the planet.
The extremely strong light seemed to swallow up the entire space in an instant.
