When all communication with the 3rd Battalion was completely cut off and the sound of thunderous cannon fire came from the west of Puluo Town, Kodell already had an ominous premonition—given Assault Group One's equipment and the situation on this planet, communication breakdown on such a large scale should be impossible.
With only a distance of over twenty kilometers and hundreds of Mechas in the area where the 3rd Battalion was located, not one could be contacted. Apart from electronic interference, Kodell couldn't think of another reason. This judgment immediately made him tense.
To reach the 3rd Battalion, Kodell ordered the Second Battalion to move towards the 3rd Battalion's position while rapidly dispatching three armored reconnaissance teams. Out of the twelve Mechas from the three teams, only two returned. The news they brought back left him both shocked and regretful!
