Chapter 158 - one five eight

It was a silent night on the slope of a a mountain, hidden by the darkness of the night and the big boulders , five men were looking at a temporary camp set up.

The leader of the five men group was surveying the camp below carefully through a binocular.​​

If Dror was here he would instantly identify their uniform from the Earth base army.

One of his subbordinate came forward and said " we are all set up… sir, waiting for your order…"

The leader turned back with out an expression and looked at is subbordinate.

" Then we shall proceed as planned, inform the operators, Tell our men in hiding to take action once the Howitzers laser cannon stop firing…"

One of the subbordinate who was middle aged man with a scar on his forhead, who was vetren seemed a little reluctant before asking " sir should we reconsider this plan again, after all we only have around 40 men with 2 Howitzers and the enemy numbers have more than 300 with around 6 Howitzers of their on…"

The leader showed an angry expression, but one of his fists clencehd unknowingly.

" Are you doubting the base and higher ups… The new Laser canon and plasma guns are of higher grade with higher efficiency, we will be able to take down enemies 10 times our number if we use them correctly…"

" But…"

The subbordinate was cut of again by the leader " Idon't want to hear your excuses, we will move according the plan now… all of you get back to your squad now and be ready with your men.."

The man with scar could only obey his leaders command and leave while touching the newly provided plasma gun that had a different shape and color than the usual one.

After his subbordinates left

the leader who was also a middle aged man could only give a deep sigh, with a solemn face and mutter slowly

" What was the higher up thinking by sending so few cannons and men to deal with such big army….. Is the rebel base so desprate to show that we will retalliate without any care if the Alliance army keeps on pressuring like this … hah.. "

The only subbordinate who remained behind could only express his powerlessness with a down cast expression along with his leader. 

Then after observing for five more minutes through his binocular,  with a stern face he ordered the subbordinate left behind 

" give the order aim and take out the enemy laser canon's  first and then keep on firing…  also make sure not to fire besides the white tent to the far east besides the temporary watch tower.. "

the subordinate spoke the command into his ear piece.

Their were two flashes of light from different direction in the dark night and then an earth defeaning explosion took place.

Boom…

then without delay a second flash of light and explosion.

Boom…. Bang...Booom ..Bang…

The explosion continued without any retaliation, The leader who was observing through his binoculor couldn't close his mouth in shock and forgot to give the order to stop.

"Give the order to stop immediately, oh my god such power.."

The subbordinate who was also at a good vantage point could clearly see the devastation happening on the enemy camp and was gobsmacked, he too came back to sense after hearing the order from the leader and yealled into the ear phone. 

" stop the fire .. stop the fire…"

after the order was given their was a silence on the mountain slope from where the leader was observing.

The subbordinate had a little troubled expression now and he slowly asked.

" Sir … do you think our comrades who were captured .. are still alive…"

The Leader also had a ashen face as he watched the enemy camp which was completely in shambles with creaters and fire raging inside.

He cursed out loudly " Those bastards from the research department , how can they give us such powerful canons without explaining the explosion radius and power …."

The subbordinate could only slowly mumble " weren't you the one who was complaing earlier that they have send us on a suicide mission with so few cannon's and men.."

Then he spoke up " Sir, about that, they had send a detailed report to us along with the new laser cannons and plama guns.."

The leader turned around with angered expression and yelled at his subordinate " what, why didn't you tell me …"

The subordinate could only show a wronged expresssion and replay slowly.

" I have submitted and talked to you about the report but , you said you will look at it later. You were too busy when the order came so suddenly to mobilize… we forgot about this matter after arriving here and were busy planning the assault. "

The Leader could only close his eyes and sigh at his own negligence. 

"Give the order to our men to start a search and rescue operation after the heat of the explosion dissipate… I hope the explosion didn't kill all our captured men… also give the order to be more careful while using the new plasma guns, they must also be enhanced ones…"

the subbordinate instantly passed the order to their men.

A squad was hidding in side a shrubs with their squad leader observing the enemy camp.

The squad leader was the same subbordinate with scar on his head, who had earlier expressed his doubts.

He couldn't close his mouth after watching the devastation that happened right before his eyes, a fly entered his wide open mouth.

" cough .. cough.. thu thu.."

" Fu*k , Am I dreaming…. How can it be so powerful…"

Before he could curse or celebrate, his ear piece vibrated and he received the order to search and rescue.

That is when he realized some of their men was also in their and he immediately rushed in along with his men.

And as they entered they were greeted with all kind of debris of the temporary camp, hover vehicles, body parts and all kind of other mess.

The squad still see that some of the enemy team were still alive and used their plasma gun.

woosh, woosh… zing.. zing

One of the red haired young men in the squad couldn't help but scream, 

" wow that is powerful and accurate, I can squish this thing around all day… Ho even the one eyed Jonty got two of them… fu*k ….. Squad leader I am sorry but I will not be returning this gun once we return.." 

The plasma energy was compressed to improve the penetrative power and destructive capablity, along with that the design and the scope complimented each other so perfectly that even a Half Blind can hit the target easily.

At the same time inside the Earth base the commander Luke Mando was standing behind his subbordinates who were listening in on their equipments and coordinating with the men on the field.

One of the subbordinate turned around to the commander with a beaming smile and reported.

" The operation is a complete success sir, the results are far better than we accepted… according to the report we received the fire power is more destructive and more effective than we initialy calculated

we might need to improvise our plans a little.."

The commander had serious face but a small smile appeared on his face as he nodded and spoke.

" send the collected datea to the research department and tell them to adjust and recalculate everything…."

Then after a small pause with a serious expression he continued.

" From this moment the operation R is a go, send the message to all the teams . We are going to give a surprise to the alliance forces…."

Actually the rebel forces was not in any position to retaliate to the oppression of the alliance forces, but with the sudden discovery of the new secret facilities they now had a full production plant for the X51 laser canon's and the new TRA18 plasma guns.

When Dror discovered the first facility their was already around 600 plasma guns and 100 laser canon's in the facility. 

Dror had casually kept 10 of the cannons and a 100 plasma guns for himself and his team, the rest were given to the base.

The base had treated these guns and canons as precious treasure and kept it to be only used at emergency situation and for research purposes, but everything changed onec the subsidary facilities related to the production of these guns were discovered.

Now they could use the these previously conidered strategical resources without more consideration, as once the production plat become fully operational they would have more than enough weapons in their hands.

And for this reason the commander made his move against the alliance forces without reservation and mplemented the operation R.. operation retalliation.
