Counterfeit Hero

War is like a train with no end in sight, moving along its track.

No one can stop it, and no one knows what the outcome will be as far as the rails extend. Humanity can only move downward with the inertia of war. I can't stop, and I don't know my fate in the next second.

Outside the car window at each stage, there is a scenery at each stage. Perhaps it will not be until decades later that people look back and discover that the day they experienced was the moment when history changed its direction. However, no one had time to care about this at the time.

Everyone was like fish in a dry pond, struggling desperately to breathe in the puddle at the bottom of the muddy pond.

In 2063, the second year after the full-scale war broke out, the leader of Western York, the Binart Empire, finally quietly launched an all-out attack.

Once Sobol activates, it is like thunder.

On October 8, after careful and careful planning, Sobol ordered the two Royal Elephant-class fleets of Binart and Xiaoyue to secretly pass forward from the Noah Theater on Carlston Galaxy Middle Road to the Pandora Nebula.

On October 12, after four full days of arduous and dangerous journey, the two fleets, after losing 20% ​​of their ships, ventured through the Pandora Nebula, which was regarded as a natural barrier, and took a circuitous route to the rear of the Fiji League's Second Group Fleet. .

The Second Fleet, which had attracted all the attention of the Binart fleet pressing forward, was caught off guard, and the tail formation was defeated almost instantly. The central main formation cluster could only abandon the patrol clusters that had moved forward to the two wings, and forcefully turned to escape. In less than six hours, the battle ended with the disastrous defeat of the Second Group fleet.

In this battle, Binart broke through the Fei Alliance space defense line, occupied 90% of the strategic points of the Noah system, opened the door to the mainland of the Feiyan Republic, and also sounded the clarion call for Sobor's attack.

On October 13, the Binart Empire fleet launched an offensive in the A80 galaxy theater on the left wing of the Carlston Galaxy. Five Lion-class fleets and one Elephant-class fleet drove straight in from the Sand Snake Corridor. Take the initiative to seek a decisive battle. Facing a disadvantage, Feiyang's fleet took the initiative to retreat, abandoned the Sand Snake Corridor, and concentrated towards the rear.

On the same day, Sobol personally commanded six elephant-class fleets and fourteen lion-class fleets to launch an attack on the right wing of the Montoya Interstellar Corridor. Feiyang's 4th, 6th and 8th fleets, which originally had the upper hand in this area, after five days and nights of fierce fighting, were finally unable to stop the offensive of the famous general Sober and were forced to shrink back to the mainland.

As of October 16, all three battle zones of the Carlston Galaxy had been broken through by Sobol, and the Binart army advanced in a straight line, with the potential to be overwhelming and overwhelming.

Just when the countries of the Fiyan Alliance were exclaiming that Sobor was about to invade the mainland of the Fijan Republic, the Fijan Republic unexpectedly saved a little face in another war zone.

On October 14, Feiyanlifu's army, which was originally assembled in the Lulan system of the Republic of Lane, suddenly came out of the Catalonia system.

The six forward A-class fleets, under the command of Li Fo, adopted high-speed interleaving. Regardless of the strategies of both wings, they defeated the Naga Federation fleet with an extremely ferocious attitude.

Immediately, a total of sixteen armored divisions from four armies forcibly landed 220 kilometers north and 340 kilometers south of Yapra City, the military town of Ivy Planet. With lightning speed, they advanced from north to south and launched an attack on Yapra.

In this battle, the officers and soldiers of Li Fo's army took the lead, and the soldiers fought bravely to fight for the victory. No matter the number, no matter the place, no matter the time...at the battle point, the slogan of advancement is deafening. After forty hours of fierce fighting, the six main armored divisions hoarded by the Naga Federation in Yapra were annihilated in one fell swoop, and their army base camp was destroyed. It quickly swept through half of the Ivy League.

Li Fo's move was not only unexpected by the enemy, but also by everyone in the Allies.

You know, when he launched a sudden attack, his troops were only half assembled. According to the battle plan, he was supposed to attack in coordination with the Lane Army twenty days later. But who would have known that he would have completed the secret combat plan without saying a word, leaving behind the Lion Army and attacking brazenly, taking the enemy by surprise and deciding the outcome in one fell swoop.

Until most of the Catalan galaxy was in the hands of the Fei League, Li Fu's troops had not yet completely assembled. However, he changed the assembly location from the Lulan Galaxy to the Catalonia Galaxy. This battle was extremely clean and tidy. Li Fu's reputation was also at its peak because of this battle.

Carlston Galaxy and Catalonia Galaxy both belong to the central theater. One battle and one defeat are profound. Whether in the private sector or in the political arena, there are various voices and rumors are spreading. Amid the people's cheers for Li Fo's achievements, doubts about Hastings, who had not taken any action, were also rising.

Let’s look at the equally critical southeastern theater.

On October 10, the West-York Allied Forces stationed in the Bermuda Galaxy launched an attack on the Newton Galaxy of the Leray Federation, with the Desik Fifth Fleet and the Jeppon Yingri Super Fleet as the main forces.

Before the war, Fisichella, commander of the Southeast Expeditionary Force of the Fiji Alliance, proposed a plan to exchange space for time, but was flatly rejected by President Flavio of Leray. Faced with a large-scale attack by West York, Fisichella held his own and looked on with cold eyes. Under the command of Lieutenant General Chell, the Leray Army fought a bloody battle at Newton's Jump Point, repelling six jumps by the Western York coalition forces.

On the same day, the Russell fleet stationed in the Longbow Galaxy suddenly appeared at the Bermuda Galaxy jumping point. An Elephant-class fleet and three new fleets, with the cooperation of Douglas's two fleets, rushed through and annihilated the two remaining Soviet ships. The Sri Lankan B-class fleet advanced towards the Rodbia star, forcing the West-Japanese coalition forces to stop their violent attack on the Newton star system and return with all their strength.

Although Fisichella is headstrong, he is still a famous general on the rankings and has a far-reaching and keen military vision. After discovering the abnormality in the West-York attack, he quickly seized the opportunity and commanded the fleet to attack the Leray central star field, severely inflicting heavy damage on the Brody Space Fleet of the Leray puppet regime, which was unable to support itself after the Western-York coalition forces retreated.

From then on, the two sides faced off against each other like a sandwich. Although small-scale confrontations continued, no one dared to openly seek a decisive battle. For the Western-Jordan coalition forces that own the Leray Central Passage, the most important thing now is not to occupy the useless Newton Galaxy, but to preserve the Leray Central Passage. For Russell and Fisichella, they cannot build trust and cooperate tacitly, and can only maintain the current situation.

Everyone knows that Naozheng can have a domino effect on the entire battle, not here, but in another galaxy in the southeastern theater - the Chucknaresk galaxy!

That's where the decisive battle begins.

On October 12, 2063, the Jiepen Empire and the Sous Empire issued emergency mobilization orders at the same time to further mobilize for war. .

The huge state machine made use of all the resources that could be used for war.

People were required to donate property, special war taxes were raised to an incredible level, military administration was implemented in various regions, and the age for conscription was relaxed to between sixteen and forty. All young and middle-aged men who meet the eleven conditions for conscription must report to the local conscription office within a time limit. Anyone who refuses to be recruited, runs away, commits suicide, or commits fraud. All will be severely punished.

On the city streets, what you can see every day are military vehicles, mechas and soldiers. What is produced in the factory is military supplies. What was started to be built in the shipyard were warships one after another. In the tense air, you can even smell the fierce fighting on the front line. For the citizens of the Empire, the limited supply points with long lines in every community and the ubiquitous death list bulletin boards are all their life.

The pressure of war has begun to show. Even though the flames of war have not yet reached the mainland, the difficulty of supporting a huge army in long-distance operations has already made people breathless.

The two-year war has gradually consumed the strength of these two countries.

The Western countries are not as strong as the Fiji League in terms of economic strength. The two empires have been engaged in military warfare for a long time. At this time, society is in turmoil and prices are soaring. The unemployment rate is as high as 40%. The crime rate is rising. Not to mention ordinary people, even some low-level nobles can only tighten their belts and suffer for a long time.

Although the lower ethnic groups at the bottom of society have not yet rebelled, the turbulence behind them is becoming more and more frightening.

This is a tinderbox that is not controlled by anyone. Whether it wants to participate in this war or not, the Empire cannot escape its fate. For this war, we can only devote all our efforts to fight for the fate of the country.

By this time, the people's fanatical war sentiments had begun to cool down. Most of the ambitions of hundreds of years have been wasted in this cruel war. The people who once enthusiastically supported the war at every opportunity can now only hide at home, looking at the groups of soldiers outside the window with gloomy eyes, praying for a great victory.

If there is no victory...then this powder keg will blow everyone to pieces! They forget their previous beliefs and, in their hardship, begin to feel worried and afraid. Churches and shrines everywhere are prospering like never before. Various collective prayer gatherings were overcrowded. The low voice of prayer echoed over every city.

The empire's last active-duty assembled troops have already set off for the Lesk system. In addition to the necessary forces to protect the homeland, the military strength participating in the Battle of Lesk exceeded 70% of the total military strength of the two countries.

This is a dangerous borderline.

Once the Battle of Lesk fails, the two empires will lose the ability to attack. At the same time, it also means defeat--not being able to obtain enough benefits in the war, even if you can barely hold on to your homeland, you are just hanging on!

However, there is no turning back. Everyone just gritted their teeth and persisted, and persisted. Today, this persistence has only left the expectation for the final battle. National power was oppressive to the extreme. The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. The military strength accumulated over hundreds of years can only be used up by gritting one's teeth at this time.

In a battle with Reske, either you die or I die.

While the two empires were preparing for war with all their strength, the Philippine Alliance forces were also seizing all the time to prepare for the war.

Secret instructions were issued one by one. Countless troops are gathering in droves. These have all been promoted since Canglang Star was attacked.

This is a huge battle, and preparations are intricate.

There is no news about Canglang Star, and the people have no hope of Li Cunxin's survival. And Mikami Yuuto's strong attack on Leifengxing made people tense up every minute and every second. No one knows how long Leifengxing's coalition can hold on.

The preparation work can only be done day and night, constantly accelerating, and accelerating again.

Reinforcement of troops at Resk is scheduled for October 18.

**********

October 14, 9:35 a.m.

The winter sun was shining brightly, but the Jie Pen Forward Base in front of Highland 415 was already in a mess.

Half of the temporary barracks had collapsed. The twisted steel beams and metal composite panels looked like scrap metal piled up in a steel factory. Two of the five energy supply towers were destroyed. The arsenal has also been reduced to rubble.

There are huge craters on the ground, and several large gaps have been opened in the outer wall of the base. Thousands of mechas, like bees in a hive, are crowded together and surging in layers. Explosions and flames shot up into the sky, flashing one after another in the mecha group. Sometimes it's to the east, and sometimes it's to the south.

Ono Hayato looked at everything in front of him with gloomy eyes. In my ears, there was the thunderous sound of artillery. It was the chaotic footsteps of the mechas, and the deafening sound of gold and iron when the mechas were fighting in close combat.

Every sound was like a big, rounded hammer, hitting his heart hard!

Three hours ago, the two armored regiments of the 59th Division he led were rushing all the way. Cooperate with the Zhongshan Wing to try to encircle and attack the mysterious force of the 172nd Division Regiment and Battalion.

But the facts ultimately proved that it was just the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Ono Hayato had already anticipated this and made arrangements in advance. However, the two armored battalions he sent here still failed to stop the opponent. When they arrived here, they saw the group of prisoners of war breaking out, and they also saw Zhongshan Yi being captured.

This battle was a complete failure. However, this has nothing to do with Ono Hayato. After all, the unlucky Zhongshan Yi should be supported by Ma Ji if the sky falls, and it has nothing to do with him. He just felt a little strange that the one who turned the entire Jie Pen control area upside down and annihilated three armored battalions in succession was only one mecha company!

And those mechas were actually captured!

Rather than feeling sympathy for Nakayama Tsubasa, he was more interested in knowing who these guys were.

But things are different now.

After Zhongshan Yi was captured, the entire frontline operations were under his command.

According to the news he had just received, the terror prince Bobette had arrived at Canglang Planet. He had just dismissed Magee from his post and detained him half an hour ago, and was preparing to send him back to the country for trial.

Although he and Magee were not on the same page, Ono Hayato didn't take any pleasure in Magee's misfortune. On the contrary, what he could feel was Bobette's cold gaze - the division headquarters had received Bobette's order. If he could not break through Hill 415 according to the order, his ending would not be much better than Magee's. .

The imperial royal family has been preparing for this war for hundreds of years. Whether Lesk will be the end of the empire's expansion or not will be decided by this battle. .

Now, Mikami Yuuto is launching a strong attack on Leifeng Star. I want to use the time before the Fei League recruits more troops to seize the opportunity as much as possible. Everything within the empire was also suppressed. Even the First Guard, which had never left the capital, had been dispatched. The special envoys sent to the Binart Empire, the Desik Empire and the Naga Federation for help also came one after another.

It is conceivable that at this critical moment that determines the fate of the empire, how could Bobbet allow the empire to still resist on Reske's base camp, Canglang Planet? ! This planet must be purged. Even if the rebel is an ant, he must be crushed to death before it waves its tentacles! There will never be any unsafe factors allowed in the base camp!

He already had a complete battle plan. The distribution of troops in hand, attack points, coordination with the air force, and time requirements have all been fully considered. But he never dreamed that just when he had just received the order and was about to order his troops to enter the attack position to attack Highland 415 in turn, his forward base would be attacked unexpectedly!

"Division Commander!" A staff officer ran to Ono Hayato with sweating profusely and reported: "The 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 172nd Division has been penetrated. Battalion Commander Popov died in the battle."

Ono Hayato seemed not to have heard anything and continued to look expressionlessly at the northwest of the base where the fierce battle was taking place. Two entire armored battalions surrounded the small open space. The mecha, which is six to nine meters tall and weighs dozens of tons, is far more shocking than the legendary giant when its engine power is increased to the extreme.

However, among this seemingly overwhelming group of mechas, there were ten white figures flickering in and out.

Wherever these figures passed, people fell on their backs. This is a mecha that Ono Hayato has never seen before. The fighting power is extremely terrifying. Ten mechas were like ten steel knives, but the Jiepen mecha that tried to surround them was as fragile as tofu. The advantage of numbers disappears in the face of absolute power.

"When will the 194th Armored Division arrive?" Hayato Ohno looked around at the silent officers behind him.

"It will take another two hours." The division headquarters chief of staff stepped forward and said.

Ono Hayato nodded and shouted in a low voice. "William."

"Here!" A lieutenant colonel with blond hair and green eyes stepped forward. His face, bronzed by the sun, had sharp and angular lines like a sculpture. The high raised W-shaped square chin makes him look full of confidence and strength.

"Among the ten mechas on the opposite side, there is a Lelei man named Tian Xingjian. This man is very powerful. According to the intelligence obtained by the empire, his achievements are simply unbelievable..." Hayato Ohno recounted the story A passage from Bet's order, taking off his military hat, his eyes flashing like knives: "Take all your men, capture him, or kill him... please!"

All the officers, including William, were startled at the same time.

The "Falcon Battalion" led by William is the most elite and core unit of the 59th Armored Division. He is the pride of Ono Hayato and his darling.

As the ace division of Jepen's Fifth Army, the 59th Division has always enjoyed priority in recruiting troops. As the ace of the 59th Division, every soldier in the Hayabusa Battalion was personally selected from the group army by Ono Hayato.

The entire selection process was rigorous to the point of cruelty. For the entire army, being able to enter "Falcon Camp" is the highest honor!

Over the years, the 59th Division has fought in both north and south, and Hayato Ohno has never used the entire battalion to fight.

Even a few years ago, when the 59th Division, as a joint force of Western York, was besieged by six armored divisions of the opponent in a regional conflict, Ono Hayato only used one company from the Hayabusa Battalion.

It was in that battle that the company of Falcon Battalion directly penetrated the opponent's three lines of defense and took away the joint command headquarters of the opponent's two divisions. The 59th Division finally won the classic battle of David and Goliath. The strongest note came out.

It was also from that time that people discovered that the previous battles commanded by Ono Hayato had never used all his strength. His habit of not using the entire Falcon Battalion also began to attract attention. Compared to his record, people are more interested in knowing when he will devote the entire Falcon Camp. Even within the 59th Division, they wanted to know what it would be like when the Falcon Battalion came out in full force.

But now, everyone actually heard that Ono Hayato was going to use the entire battalion! For a moment, the officers looked at each other. They didn't expect that the answer they had been waiting for turned out to be because of a mere ten mechas.

"Don't underestimate your opponent." Hayato Ohno looked into William's eyes, and without waiting for his answer, he continued: "You must fight with a 120,000-point spirit. My order is, even if the entire Falcon camp is destroyed, We must keep them too!”

"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel William bowed in return and said solemnly: "No matter who he is, he will pay the price for his arrogance!"

Watching William striding away, Ono Hayato ordered without looking back: "Strengthen the thickness of the left wing. Except for the second regiment and the first battalion as the reserve team, send all other troops up to me. Use all the strength of the division to give I’ll keep them!”

**********

"The Jiepen people worked hard."

The fat man slashed a Toyama mecha horizontally into two pieces with a backhand knife. Seeing the mecha frenzy pouring in from all directions of the base, he shouted: "Yamai daddy, Yamai daddy!"

"What does Amai mean?" Wagstaff, who was covered in goosebumps by the fat man's ecstasy cry, secretly communicated with other pilots.

"That's the dialect of a small place in Jipeng, and it means don't want it." Baz said in admiration, "Sir, you are really knowledgeable."

"No?" Mengxun in the channel said in confusion: "What we are playing now are twelfth-generation mechas. Not talking about us, even if there is a random eighth-level mecha warrior, Jingpi will kill seven in and seven out in this kind of mecha. No problem. Didn’t the commander ask us to lure them out and do something shocking? Why is he so miserable?"

"Is that miserable?" Baz said dismissively to Monson, who has always been more serious: "That's the climax!"

"Oh." The mechanics suddenly realized.

Accompanied by the cry of "Yamai Daddy", Fatty jumped happily in the mecha group, beating, smashing, hugging and hugging him.

Milan, who was sitting next to him, had a blushing face.
