Counterfeit Hero

Judging from the armor's long-range vision device, this is a mecha unit that clearly shows that it comes from the Desik Empire, regardless of its logo or mecha type.

Needless to say, the reason why they were able to appear here in such a short period of time must have started from the military cooperation base of the West Yorkist country in the outer space of the Little Pyrenees. As long as someone pointed out the direction for them, they could be there within a dozen Within hours, they can reach wherever they want to go.

This mecha army is only the size of a regiment, but for the motley army led by Fatty, there is nothing worse than this. Fatty knew that in a head-on confrontation, the team he led would never be a match for the enemy.

The Desik Empire is a medium-to-large country. In terms of economic strength and technological level, it is far higher than the Gacharin Empire and the Leray Federation. In particular, the idea of ​​​​military supremacy in imperial countries has allowed them to work hard to transform technology into combat effectiveness. As a result, the military equipment level of the Desik Empire army is much higher than that of the two small and medium-sized countries.

Just look at the mechas of the team in front of you and you will know how big the gap is.

[Warhammer], the current standard mecha of the Dethic Empire, was developed by the Empire's super military industrial enterprise Locke Mecha Company. It is a ninth-generation mecha, controlled by a single soldier, and has extremely fierce firepower. After the energy cannon solved the problem of barrel strength, The launch speed is extremely fast, coupled with its advanced fire control system and mecha computer, it is enough to confront or even suppress the [Honor 15] medium mecha of the Leray Federation.

[Warhammer] is equipped with a new type of external armor and a high-power energy shield. Its defensive capabilities are better than the [Three-Headed Dog] mecha of the Gacharin Empire and comparable to the [Honor 15] medium-sized mecha of the Leray Federation. Its engine system is unique in its own right, and its large-capacity energy supply system can support the mecha in traveling and fighting over long distances.

More importantly, [Warhammer], as the new standard mecha of the Dethic Empire, completely integrates the advantages of long-range attack and melee combat. It has powerful explosive power, super fast speed, and a compact and solid humanoid structure. It has been tested in actual combat in almost all shapes. Both have very good performances in the mecha. The arms are obviously thicker than ordinary mechas, with left shields and right axes, and their power is amazing.

As an individual mecha developed by a medium-to-large country, [Warhammer] took ten years to develop. The electronic system and drive system of the mecha have received assistance and guidance from the Binart Empire. From the day it was successfully developed, He successfully joined the ranks of the ninth generation mecha. Although the ranking is only in the middle and lower reaches of the ninth-generation individual mechas, in this sector, it has already stood at the top of the pyramid, especially the seventh-generation [Warrior Leader] mechas of the Leray Federation, which has an overwhelming advantage.

As for the [King Kong] that Gacharin spent huge sums of money and devoted all his efforts to build for the Mythical Legion, even after being modified by Tian Xingjian and upgraded by half a level, it can barely be regarded as an eighth-generation mecha. If it is When the technical experience of both controllers is exactly the same, [King Kong] has almost no hope of victory against [Warhammer].

In addition to [Warhammer], this Desik mecha force also has fifty-six [Royal Flag] eighth-generation medium mechas, six [Tidal] eighth-generation heavy mechas, and six [Behind the Scenes] eighth-generation mechas. Generation electronic attack mecha. These mechas are all standard mechas that have been put into service in the Desik Empire. After a long period of high-intensity actual combat and testing, the mechas have been improved many times and their performance is very reliable.

There are very strict regulations on the classification of mechas. Internationally, there are specific indicators for every parameter of private mechas and military mechas. The emergence of each generation of mechas will attract the attention of the world. Only when this kind of mechas This mecha will only be named when its shape, structure, drive, transmission, engine, electronic equipment, radar, fire control system, tracking system, camouflage system and other aspects are completely overwhelming over the previous generation mecha. For a new generation of mechas.

Therefore, the gap between each generation of mechas is very obvious. It is not that a certain aspect of the mechas has been enhanced, but that everything from the mecha platform to the equipment is much better in every aspect. This is a gap that cannot be bridged no matter how modified it is!

Now, Fatty felt this unmistakable gap in annoyance. The dense magnetic variable frequency wave he was trying to conduct structural analysis was actually shielded by these mechas, which made people collapse. As a non-mass-produced high-end mecha in the Leray Federation's most advanced mecha laboratory, [Logic] cannot scan and analyze enemy mechas. You know, [Logic] is almost the crystallization of the federation's highest technology.

If we only talk about [Logic]'s transformation function and biological two-state metal properties, Fatty is confident that [Logic] is unique among all human technologies. However, he also understands that due to the gap in technological levels, [Logic] There are no advantages in other aspects.

Perhaps Milan's miniaturized electronic attacks, radars, and self-developed camouflage and stealth systems borrowed from warship equipment can be evenly matched with [Warhammer]. However, federal military technology is in mecha weapons, engines, mecha computers, drives, transmissions, and fire control. , etc., it cannot be compared with the Desik Empire at all.

Fatty felt very painful. If he couldn't get the opponent's mecha structure, [logic] would not be able to transform. He would also lose his most convenient attack method. He could no longer sneak into the enemy team to fish in troubled waters, sow discord and take advantage of others. This was very important to him. , simply the most terrifying thing.

From the comparison between [Logic] and [Warhammer], we can imagine how big the gap between a motley army armed with private mechas and sixth- or even fifth-generation Gacharin standard mechas will be compared to the enemies behind them. It feels like a group of sheep versus a group of wolves, with no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

What breaks Fatty's heart the most is that if he can't be beaten, he probably won't be able to escape.

The troops behind them are definitely pursuit experts with rich combat and tracking experience.

When mechas were first used in actual combat, there was basically no way to hide their whereabouts, because the weight and volume of mechas determined that no matter how they acted, they would leave traces. In the jungle, Such traces are particularly obvious.

However, since the invention of the stealth mode of modern mechas, the mecha's environmental analysis device will automatically select a route that is convenient for hiding its traces. The silent elimination device on the mecha's mechanical legs can not only eliminate the sound made by the mecha when it walks. It can also use multi-hole jet auxiliary power to disperse the weight of the mecha over a large area.

For example, in the snow, if a footprint appears on the white snowfield, it will naturally be easily discovered. However, if the snow removal volume of this originally deep footprint is collected out of thin air and spread out over an area of ​​hundreds of square meters, but it is so shallow that it is difficult to see with the naked eye, this is the role of the silent elimination device. .

Just because it won't be easily discovered doesn't mean that the mecha won't leave any traces. Therefore, how to choose a more suitable walking route in various environments, how to create camouflage traces, and how to reduce the possibility of traces being discovered, It has become a subject and a required subject for every mecha warrior.

When Tian Xingjian received training in the special forces camp, he was excellent in both natural and mecha stealth.

The highest assessment level is excellent. What you mean is that this guy has deceived everyone and no one can find any trace of him. He didn't get out until the instructor gave up and announced that the search was over.

But now, even if the fat man looks at it with the most critical eyes, this Zhidexik armored force is also a bad wolf with a keen sense of smell.

The Desik mechas have already launched a search formation. The mesh-like metal pieces on the heads of several [Advantage] electronic mechas are obviously not headwear, but energy trace detectors. As long as the detected position is ten minutes before There had been energy burning fluctuations within it, so there was no way to escape the tracking of this energy trace detector.

In front of each team, there is a [Warhammer] mecha holding a long bar and moving forward. This is an environmental analyzer, which can scan the surrounding environment and capture and analyze unnatural changes. This instrument is specially designed for searching in inaccessible places. No unnatural thing can escape the capture of this instrument.

Although the change in the operating environment of a single mecha is very small, it is difficult for this instrument to capture its traces. However, when a group of mechas move together, they will inevitably leave clues. As long as one of the mechas accidentally touches it while traveling, If a piece of bark falls off, or if the soil in a certain area sinks unnaturally due to the concentrated movement of mechas, this environmental analyzer will immediately sound an alarm.

In addition to the equipment used for tracking, the search division of this mecha team is also very professional. Every step they take is very careful to avoid interfering with the search or causing the search equipment to be trapped. The members of the search team cooperate very well. Everyone has their own responsibilities, and for every square kilometer of search, three teams cross each other and move forward quickly and meticulously. There is basically no possibility of escaping their tracking!

And those that have no search value, they almost don’t even look at them!

With such an experienced team of trackers, it was only a matter of time before his whereabouts were exposed. Once they catch up, even if it's an ambush, the miscellaneous army has no hope of winning. By then, not only will the prisoners be unable to survive, but the entire team will be devoured.

what to do? The fat man sighed with worry. The road he was walking now was originally prepared for the fake royal spaceship. It was just at the edge of the southern mountainous area. If he wanted to go deep into the jungle and enter the Leray Federation's lurking personnel and the Federal Intelligence Agency, The designated response area will take at least three days.

Moreover, if you can't get rid of the enemy behind you, even reaching the reception area is useless. There are only a few contacts and some basic facilities there, and there is no way to resist the attack of the force behind you.

"Master Jian, what should we do now?" Gasl, who had already discovered something was wrong, controlled [Hurricane] to slowly fall to the end of the team, and asked Tian Xingjian in a low voice.

Tian Xingjian, who was staring at Bonnie with eyes wide open, said angrily: "What should we do? Apart from praying that they find us later, we can only sacrifice some people to block the block. The blocking time must be more than half a day to cover the large troops entering the mountainous area." If we are scattered, what else can we do? Who will go, you go?"

"Okay, I'll go!" Gasl agreed without hesitation, "I will lead a platoon to carry out guerrilla raids. You guys will retreat first. As long as you keep the distance and enter the mountainous area, the team will be able to disperse deep into the jungle. At that time , the detection instruments in their hands will be of no use. Even if several soldiers are caught up by them, they will not be captured!"

The fat man frowned and glanced at Gasl, scolding: "You are so inconsiderate. A platoon of tattered mechas is fighting against an elite armored regiment of the Desik Empire. Even the third-level formation cannot hold it for an hour, let alone You've been digging a few holes here for a quarter of an hour!" The fat man raised a finger and said with certainty, "You have to finish playing!"

Gasl didn't know that Fatty said he didn't want to undermine their confidence and was afraid of affecting their morale. In fact, Fatty estimated that it would only take three minutes for the other side to break through the blockade, and it would not take more than ten minutes to wipe out the entire platoon. Although he was a little unconvinced by the fifteen-minute conclusion, Gasl did not doubt the fat man's conclusion at all. As far as fighting harassment or attacking behind enemy lines was concerned, the fat man had already written a book, so what else? Is it something he doesn’t understand? At that moment, I couldn't help but asked anxiously: "What should I do?"

The fat man looked at the transport mechas in the center of the team. He knew that An Lei must be looking over here. He thought about it and said to Gasl: "In the idea you just had, there is one method that is worth considering... Guerrilla attack!" The armor cover on [Logic]'s right mechanical arm slid open, and a mecha sniper gun was raised. The fat man's voice was trembling and firm, "However, I am the only one who can do this! "

As soon as these words came out, not only Gasl was stunned, but even Bonnie, whose mouth had been sealed and her eyes were full of contempt and contempt, also widened her eyes. One person is holding down a group of elite mechas. This fat guy is crazy!

"Now, the entire team is under your command. Remember, don't even think about coming back to help me. You must leave as soon as possible. After entering the mountainous area, disperse every ten kilometers forward, one by one, ten by one, and let them catch you blind. At the final rendezvous, they must take a bow-shaped route. The soldiers responsible for luring the enemy should not move closer to the connection point, but as far away as possible. After leaving the jungle, they should go their separate ways and find opportunities to return to the freedom front."

"how about you?"

"Don't worry about me!" The fat man felt sad when he said this, and choked up, "If I die, remember to tell An Lei that I don't mind her being a widow for me."

When Bonnie heard this, she immediately threw away the little admiration she had for the fat man. She couldn't help but curse in her heart: "The selfish fat man is a scumbag!"

"Remember, James must not fall into the hands of the enemy. If that doesn't work, I'll kill him with one shot!" The fat man turned to look at Bonnie, "This woman is too powerful. It's useless to bring her back to the Federation. You can take her with me." Don’t worry, I need someone to be buried with me anyway, she looks pretty good, she’s the only one!”

Bonnie kicked her legs randomly, not wanting to eat the fat man's flesh and sleep on his skin!

After handing James, who was still unconscious like a dumpling, and the Albert cipher machine that had been disassembled [logically] to Gasl, the fat man finally warned: "Major An Lei has a contact list and passwords, and they must be protected. She, only she can bring you and the captives back to the Federation. James can die, but An Lei cannot die. When you reach the point of contact, use the cipher machine to contact the base immediately. The only way is through the base's inter-galactic two-way co-frequency remote signal station , you can contact the Federation, and as soon as the people or spaceships sent by the Federation arrive, leave immediately, do you understand?"

"Understood, sir!" Gasr raised his hands in salute after listening to the fat man's last words, his eyes a little moist.

"***, don't call me sir, I've been expelled from the military!" The fat man forced a smile, "Don't worry about me. If everything goes well, maybe I will be there before you get to the rescue point! After this mission , I can retire. Then I can drink some wine and play some cards at home. When I have time, I can brag about my glorious achievements to beauties. If I see a little hooligan, I will throw him away. If anyone dares to bully me, I will slap him to death. How comfortable?"

After returning the military salute, the fat man waved his hand and said: "Go, if An Lei disobeys, tie her up."

Gasr nodded, saluted again, turned around and strode away.

Turning his head, there was a little commotion in the team behind him. An Lei's voice was frightened and anxious. The fat man couldn't bear to look at it. After a while, An Lei's voice disappeared. I guess it was Gasl who took measures. The whole team made a mechanical sound. You didn't even need to look at the fat man to know that this was everyone bidding farewell to the body.

As the team went away, the jungle became quiet again, and the midday sun shone straight down, shining brightly in the gaps in the leaves, like broken neon lights. On the ground, the snow on the trees was mixed with the dusty accumulation, and there were patches here and there, like the markings of a cow. The water vapor in the jungle rises up into a layer of mist in the sunlight, making the surrounding withered yellow branches and leaves appear a bit wandering and less realistic.

Tian Xingjian stared blankly at the Desik mecha troops on the telescope. He didn't know whether he could survive the encirclement and suppression of this team after today. What he knew was that he had to hold this team back for a whole day. Six hours!

Fatty controlled [Logic] and sneaked behind a rock. This square had a wide field of vision and was well hidden, making it an excellent sniper spot. He sat down slowly, started the mecha computer, and started automatic mecha detection. This was the only thing he could do during this period. He didn't want to die due to mecha malfunction at the most critical moment.

Then, it was an excruciating wait.

Bonnie, who was still tied to the bulkhead of the mecha, looked at Tian Xingjian quietly. Her eyes were a little complicated, with a hint of admiration in her anger and hatred. .
