At Clovis Land, under Lelouch's Geass, the commander and his forces along with a Police Knightmare Frame Unit were ready to fire at Mao as they were ordered to shoot if he tries to expose Zero's identity. After Mao was angered by Lelouch as Lelouch said his lost, he was about to shout Lelouch is Zero, but the Commander pointed his finger and yelled "fire!" which caused his forces to shoot Mao but didn't kill him since Mao got Britannian Medical Teams to save his life.
