Counterfeit Hero

The three space armored fighter planes with the Feiyan double-headed gryphon logo painted on their wings ended their combat missions and gradually moved away from the endless ground battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke and rumbling gunfire.

The ruins of the city, the mechas firing at each other on the ground, the winding trenches like earthworms, the rapid energy cannon light waterfalls fired by the self-propelled artillery regiments, the exploding light clusters and mushroom clouds, everything changes with the high-speed climb of the fighter planes. It got smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared after the fighter plane penetrated the clouds.

Soon, the silver streamlined X-wing fighter had climbed to the top of the troposphere. The mothership guidance signal was connected, and after vertical positioning, the three fighters shut down their ion turbine engines. As the proton jet started and the booster ignited, the fighter jet increased its speed to the second cosmic speed in an instant, quickly broke through the aurora's silky magnetic layer, and jumped into the vast starry sky.

In the space of the Mozic planet, two [Gods]-class space aircraft carriers of the Feiyang Republic and an old-fashioned [Imperial Force]-class aircraft carrier of the Sixth Space Fleet of the Independent Army are like three huge beehives, constantly Recover space fighters that continue to return from the atmosphere.

Dozens of return cabin passages on the aircraft carrier flashed navigation lights. The open passageway is connected to a mechanical soft arm like an octopus's tentacles. Amidst the distribution of synthetic electronic sounds from the automatic navigation system, fighter planes approached each other according to their channel numbers. They were attracted by the soft arm of the connecting robot and then pulled into the aircraft carrier's parking bay. When the fighter jets returned together, the entire aircraft carrier recovery work seemed busy and orderly.

Looking past the space aircraft carrier surrounded by the chaotic flying fighter planes, not far away, twenty huge Unicorn-class battleships were parked quietly in space. The thick armor shell, the ferocious main gun, the rotating turrets all over the body, and the space torpedo launchers on both sides give this battleship an incomparable intimidating power.

Surrounding the battleship are more than sixty [Crazy Shark]-class heavy cruisers. This type of cruiser of the Feiyang Republic is almost the same as the battleships of some small countries in terms of size. However, they are indeed cruisers, and they are the fastest high-speed cruisers in the combat order of various countries.

These cruisers. Even better than the [Unicorn]-class battleship, it shows the technological level and military strength of the Feyon Republic. Be it an aircraft carrier or a battleship. No matter what kind of battleship it is, once it is surrounded by three [Crazy Shark] cruisers. No chance of survival. In space, these are a group of out-and-out crazy sharks.

If cruisers are like vicious sharks, then the hundreds of high-speed destroyers swimming around the periphery of the fleet formation are a group of tiny, but equally ferocious and even more terrifying piranhas. Although they do not have the powerful main guns of battleships and cruisers, they do. They are more flexible and faster. Once they break into the fleet formation, the consequences will also be disastrous.

No need to ask, this is the most powerful first and second mixed fleet of the Philippine-Lai Joint Southeast Expeditionary Force.

These two fleets are both Feiyang fleets, and their designations in Feiyang are the 11th Mixed Fleet and the 17th Mixed Fleet. They and the fifth mixed fleet of the expeditionary force, composed of the original sixth mixed fleet of Gacharin and the local fleet of the Little Pyrenees, have been staying in this airspace for nearly a week.

Two [Gods]-class aircraft carriers and one [Imperial Force]-class aircraft carrier belonging to the fleet have been supporting ground operations outside the atmosphere of the Mozic planet.

Since there is no threat. Therefore, such support operations have always seemed easy to the space fleet, but now. Things seem to have changed.

From the battleship Europa, the flagship of the new Fifth Fleet composed of the original Gacharin fleet, it can be seen that the atmosphere is significantly more tense than in the previous few days. The crew members were all running in a hurry, and various instructions from the captain's office came from time to time on the ship's radio.

The power cabin, electronic control room, weapons cabin, damage control, battleship guard, turret, main gun cabin and other positions are all in place. Everyone is nervously checking equipment and following instructions.

Lieutenant General Kafka, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Fleet, stood on the command platform in the central control room with a melancholy look on his face. Just five hours ago, the fleet's detectors scattered tens of thousands of kilometers away discovered that two Desik fleets were approaching the expeditionary fleet from two different directions at the same time.

The fleet that was forced to end its ground support mission did not seem to have the intention to fight. The instructions sent from the "Poseidon" aircraft carrier showed that the fleet will actively retreat before the Dersik fleet reaches Mozic. The jump coordinates sent to the Fifth Fleet were in the airspace more than six million kilometers away, between Mozchi and Minsk.

Kafka did not understand why the Expeditionary Force General Headquarters gave up Mozic so easily. You must know that after such a departure, there were only 13 flying groups and more than a thousand land-based fighters on the ground battlefield to support the crossing. The battle was nearly two thousand kilometers away from the east and west of Tanvir.

Such a small amount of air combat power, let alone taking care of the long-term posts, is not enough to control the error even if it rotates continuously. If the air power of Stephen and Reinhardt recovers, coupled with the support of the space fighter planes of the Desik fleet, the entire ground combat situation will immediately change. Reversal changes occur.

Doesn’t Lieutenant General Fisichella know this?

"Connect the headquarters communication to the captain's room. I want to speak to General Fisichella." Kafka clenched his fists. He wanted to ask clearly. The independent army must not be sacrificed under his nose. .

"Yes, General." The officer in charge of communications in the central control room quickly operated and sent a communication request to the "Poseidon" aircraft carrier.

Kafka turned and walked into the right passage of the central control room. When he walked along the circular passage to the end, the automatic identification door of the captain's room opened, and the aggregated signal appeared on the virtual screen on the wall in front of the room. .

As the blue light changes into brilliant colors, the light cluster at the top of the light converges to form the image of Fisichella.

"Hello, General Kafka." Fisichella said hello with a smile without the airs of a commander-in-chief.

Looking back at the automatic door closing, Kafka was silent for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I'm sorry to ask to speak to you at this moment, but I hope you can answer some of my questions, which are related to... Gacharin's future."

"You're welcome..." Fisichella's smile was contagious: "Actually, I know what you want to ask. Let's both save a little time." His image suddenly zoomed in, as if he was reaching out to press it. Something moved in front of me. Immediately, a file marked top secret appeared on Kafka's information terminal. .

Clicking on the file on the information desk, Kafka saw that it was a report on the movements of the Desik fleet in the Little Pyrenees. The report was very long and very detailed. Among them, there was a message that was currently heading towards the Little Pyrenees. Mozic's two approaching fleets.

"After seeing this report, I believe you will understand why I chose to retreat." Fisichella said with a smile: "Mozic has become a big vortex. If we don't leave, we will be trapped in this vortex. Enemies who are more advantageous than us. However, retreat does not mean that we give up the soldiers fighting in Mozchi. Of course, I admit that they will face great pressure and even be on the verge of desperation. But that is definitely not because Caused by our departure.”

Kafka raised his head from the document and listened to Fisichella continue: "On the contrary, retreat is the best choice for us and our ground troops. Imagine, If we fight here with a total of four Dexik mixed fleets from two routes, victory is certain, but how much will we lose? The enemy is well prepared. From the outside, it seems that there are only four fleets. In fact, they are stationed in Buick Blue. A mixed fleet has also left the base and is missing."

Kafka was silent. He understood that the situation was indeed as Fisichella said. It was indeed not a good idea to engage in a decisive battle with the enemy fleet in Mozic. Once it fails or loses more than half, it will be an even bigger disaster for the ground troops.

"However, the critical moment of the offensive is at a critical moment. If we leave at this time, once the enemy's space fighters join the battle, the situation on the ground will be reversed, especially the long-term posts, which may not last three days." Kafka asked.

"Our two Lane fleets stationed in Minsk have already set sail, and the twelve armored divisions on the ground have also made preparations." Fisichella's words seemed to be a bit unanswered, but his last sentence played the finishing touch. : "They will turn with us at the coordinates of our jump, our target..."

"Buick blue!" Kafka looked at the extension line at the end of the coordinates and blurted out in horror.

"As expected of General Kafka, your acumen surprised me." Fisichella nodded approvingly and said calmly: "So, you should believe that whether it is the lost Desik fleet or the two fleets , their final destination will be Buick Blue! They cannot stay in Mozic and participate in the ground battle."
