This chapter opens with the sound of a thunderbolt. It's a warning that the enemy is 50 miles away from the landing. Senior officer tian tells his men to stay in their formation and wait for the thunderbolt to signal an attack. The 1st division of the special reconnaissance battalion is in the formation. The senior officer is in his mecha, smoking black smoke. He's about to take command of the attack when he hears a rustle. The mecha is noisy and moving like a cat. They're about to lose the senior officer if they don't get his attention. They need to attack the enemy. The commander of the reconnaissance battalion tells them to get ready to attack. He tells them that the antenna mecha has been launched and that it's the most important weapon in the war. The enemy is already preparing for an attack on their base. They should get there as fast as possible. The new senior officer tells them not to rush too fast. The old standard mecha was obsolete for years. The only remaining war craft is the 2nd generation mecha. This is the first real battle of the war for the new commander.
