Counterfeit Hero

Even in the headquarters. It is filled with various sounds such as footsteps, chatter, system electronic sounds and the hum of Panasonic brain cooler. The atmosphere still seemed silent.

The staff officers affiliated with the Reske Front Army were working nervously in front of the Skynet console.

Skynet now. Just an octopus that has lost most of its tentacles. Although the network in Phoenix City is still relatively sound, when it comes to the front lines, it becomes less efficient. The command communication was relatively smooth, but the gathering of intelligence was surprisingly slow. After all, compared with the intelligence transmitted by a small amount of manual active communication and the intelligence automatically collected by the Skynet terminal system, there is a huge difference in efficiency.

Skynet is always working reluctantly in a cycle of constant repair, destruction, repair, and destruction. This is a common problem in long wars. This will always happen as long as the two sides are evenly matched for a certain period of time. Without Skynet, the war seems to have returned to ancient times.

The phone kept ringing. The communication channel was also noisy. The staff members listened and input information quickly. Just like a photographer who has lost his camera, he can only draw the scenery in front of him into a giant oil painting, adding oil paint on the blank canvas with one stroke to outline the outline of the entire painting.

The outline of the current battle situation is that the 33rd Army has left the Sherlock Mountains and is marching southward. The fighter jet cluster has also arrived over the town of Frenso. It is said that. The Bandit Army's First Armored Division has arrived at Banyunling and is fighting the enemy. However, their Second Armored Division seems to be still on the way, and the specific situation is unclear.

This simple outline relying on communication information is really a kind of torture.

Where is the 33rd Army? Can it arrive within the stipulated time? How was the battle in the fighter group and what were the losses? Where are the enemy's follow-up troops located and how many are their strength? After the Bandit Second Armored Division of Banyunling entered the battle, could it stop the enemy's attack? The oil painting was an oil painting after all, and the trees looked dense when viewed from a distance. The characters are vivid, as if the world is right in front of you. But if I really get closer and take a closer look, I see it is just a lump of condensed color. Nothing can be seen clearly.

Pierre walked up and down in front of the console with his hands behind his back. Chen Fengxi stood in front of the Skynet screen and pondered, tapping her fingers subconsciously on the alloy tabletop of the console. Now, it seems that the only thing they can do is wait.

The gazes of the two men. From time to time, he would focus on the elegant body in front of the electronic sand table.

Margaret, the granddaughter of Hastings and the well-known successor of Feiyang's military, was wearing a blue bandit uniform at the moment, and her position was only one of several deputy chiefs of staff of the bandit army.

This fact, while surprising people, also makes people somewhat understand the bandit army.

.

Especially Pierre. If Margaret hadn't been standing behind the fat man, if she hadn't raised any questions about the fat man from beginning to end, she would have beaten him to death, and he would not have agreed to this plan.

The plan was agreed and implemented, but what is the result that can be expected?

"Sir!"

Suddenly, the communications liaison officer shouted loudly.

"What's the matter?" Chen Fengxi, who was closest to the communications liaison officer, crossed over in a few steps.

"The commander of the 1st Regiment of our 1st Armored Division reported that the enemy's vanguard on the east-west intercity highway in Frenzo Town retreated eastward within fifteen minutes after the bandits entered the battle! Preliminary estimates are that within half an hour, Our army has annihilated five enemy armored battalions and one self-propelled artillery battalion. At present, the bandits have moved their defense line six kilometers."

What? Everyone couldn't believe their ears.

One after another, the green mechas stepped on the thick fallen leaves, passed through the dim and humid jungle, ran down the hillside, and flew in formation on the muddy dirt road. Mud and water splashed everywhere, and the heavy steel mechanical feet left messy footprints in the mud.

"Quickly!" Stewart stood on the open command platform of the command mecha with a cold face.

Amidst the splashing sound of muddy water, mechas flew past each other, at the front of a long queue. We have reached the top of the mountain ahead.

"What? Are you not happy that you didn't catch the Arbitrator?" Robert stood next to Stewart and looked at the tall former leader of the Tigers Special Regiment with a smile.

Stewart grinned in annoyance: "I just made a bet with that dwarf Rashid to see who would meet the judge first. Within three minutes, the order came. ***, I can't stand that dwarf's proud face. .”

"Oh." Robert smiled and shook his head. He found that after following Fatty for a long time, neither Stuart nor Rasheed, nor even their soldiers, took the war seriously. The nonchalant nature of the Lere people is most vividly reflected in them.

Turning his head to look at the running mecha formation, Robert sighed for a long time: "A year ago, I would never have dreamed that I would be commanding such a team. The most advanced mechas, the best mecha warriors, the LeLei Army is at the end of its rope. , as if he suddenly made a fortune."

"General, you forgot that we haven't installed a new mecha yet." Stewart said with a smile: "After this battle, put me in a twelfth-generation mecha. I can fight from here to Sidon!"

"The capital of the Binart Empire is not considered for the time being." Robert patted Stewart's shoulder lightly: "Let's first consider how to implement General Tian's battle plan. You know, we are the vanguard."

"General, tell me. If the front army headquarters knew that our real mission was not to withstand the attack of the Westerners in the west of Frenço town, but to move forward and make a wide range of detours, would they be surprised?" Stewart raised an eyebrow.

"To be honest," Robert said, "I was also surprised by General Tian's appetite."

He looked at the distant mountains. He subconsciously patted the railing of the command mecha platform with his hand. He remembered what Fatty said on the communication screen half an hour ago, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In fact, as early as when he saw the combat situation map in the command hall, Fatty had already seen the problems facing the Fiji Alliance forces.

The western line of Phoenix City is more than 2,000 kilometers long. There can be no whole row of impregnable fortifications, no continuous trenches. To resist Western York's attack, we can only rely on the top troops distributed on the front line to fight for towns and strategic points. This complex and broad line of defense was constructed through tug-of-war, encirclement, rapid attack, and on-site defense.

Such a line of defense. There is only one foundation, and that is military strength!

Now, the Philippine Alliance forces have concentrated fifty-seven divisions on the front line. In addition, Chen Fengxi's remaining troops, plus the mixed divisions formed to temporarily accommodate frontline skirmishers, totaled only two.

.

The opponent, Bellev's Northern Cluster alone, has nearly fifty divisions. The total strength of the northern and southern theaters is 1.5 times that of the Philippine Alliance. What's more important is that behind the Bellev Cluster in the north and Antonescu in the south, there is also an Army Bear Rosenberg who controls at least sixty divisions!

Therefore, when Xiyo suddenly launched an attack on the town of Frenço and opened a channel with three armored divisions and a precious Adjudicator Company as arrows, in addition to being careful about Xiyo's breakthrough, he also needed to worry about their other lines of defense. A heavy assault on the enemy. If Chen Fengxi deploys too many troops and falls into Frenso Town, then once Xiyo suddenly sends out heavy troops to attack other defenses,

All this time, the Leifengxing Front Army. All adopted a frontal defense strategy. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides and the situation of the war, this is not wrong. However, being right does not mean victory. In fact, the coalition forces are already in a difficult position, and their forces are constantly being depleted in this whirlpool. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the entire western front of Phoenix City collapses.

Therefore, it is necessary to launch a campaign to annihilate a large number of the enemy's effective forces and give Xiyo a severe blow.

.

Chen Fengxi thought that Fatty threw two armored divisions just to eat the three enemy divisions in Frenso Town, knock out one of the opponent's Adjudicator companies, cause Xiyo some pain, and retract their fists hidden behind them. Unfortunately, he did not understand the combat effectiveness of the bandits' 1st Armored Division and 2nd Armored Division. He also underestimated the fat man’s appetite.

If it really only needs to eat the opponent's three armored divisions, the first division of the bandit army can end the battle before the enemy's reinforcements arrive. To know. Fassett's Thirty-one Army was much stronger than them in terms of combat effectiveness. Whether it is the quality of personnel or equipment, they are far from comparable to these three Western York armored divisions. At that time. The bandit army was still a little stunned and could not kill him. Once here, there is nothing to worry about.

Such two divisions. The ordinary armored divisions who serve three Western countries are like pearls in elegance. Cooking chicken in a cauldron is, to put it crudely, Godzilla raping a beautiful sheep.

However, the fat man wanted to do something big, but he couldn't say it clearly. As soon as he said it, Chen Fengxi and Pierre would probably be scared away. For these two commanders who have been sticking to Reske, stability is more important than anything else. Even the plan to encircle and annihilate the three armored divisions in the town of Frenço was considered over and over again. Not to mention the combat benefits that are several times greater than this.

So, Fatty took advantage of the attack on the town of Frenso and transferred the 33rd Army over. Then take the opportunity to take over the command of all the teams near the town of Frenso. Drag the Leifeng Star Front Army into his plan. When the heavy troops that have been hidden in Western York are dispatched, he will lead these troops to penetrate directly in depth and make large-scale detours. Cut off the enemy's retreat!

As long as the detour is successful, even if Chen Fengxi doesn't want to fight, it won't work. Not only would he eat the meat that was brought to his mouth, he would also bite it harder than anyone else!

"General Robert. The vanguard has contacted the Chakna Armored Division. Their division commander invites you to come over." Commanding the mecha. The sound of a combat staff report interrupted Robert's contemplation.

"Let's go." Robert turned around first and got into the cabin.

He commanded the mecha to run forward quickly along the muddy mountain road. Ten minutes later, the temporary camps and criss-crossing traffic ditches appeared in the jungle ahead, telling Robert that the division's station had arrived.

The mecha stopped in front of a big tree that required five people to surround it. Robert and Stuart walked out of the cabin and looked around.

The leading troops of the Bandit Second Armored Division have stopped and are gathering in the forest. The sun penetrates the gaps in the tree canopy and dapples the primitive jungle. Thin mist rises and curls in the slanting beam of light. The fallen leaves on the ground and the moss on the roots and rocks made the place look damp and stale.

Not far away, a trench curved into the depths of the jungle. Camouflage nets and several anti-detection jammers were hung on the tree trunks. Arranged randomly. Dozens of scarred mechas were squatting or standing, surrounded by empty ammunition boxes, energy boxes or parts boxes.

Several Chakna mecha mechanics covered in oil were busy repairing the mecha. In a cooking mecha unfolded next to them. More than a dozen sweaty cooks were making lunch. A group of soldiers on patrol. Walk past the trench. A soldier poked his head out of the trench and said something to the leader of the patrol team.

The farther you look, the more Chakna soldiers you see. These soldiers, wearing dirty and indistinguishable uniforms, were sitting together, some having a meeting and some taking a nap. Some were maintaining their firearms, while others were just bored and dazed.

After seeing the bandit army, most of the people here turned their eyes over. His eyes were full of curiosity.

"General, please come this way." A waiting Lieutenant Colonel Chuckner made a sideways gesture.

Robert and Stuart followed the lieutenant colonel and the sentry beside him toward the trench. Net walked to the edge of the trench. They saw several officers climbing up the gentle slope on the side of the trench.

"General Robert!" Major General Chuckner, who was walking at the front, stretched out his hand: "I am Benario, commander of the Chuckner Armored Division. Welcome to this devil's area."

"Hello." Robert stretched out his hand and shook Benaglio tightly, and said with a smile: "I believe the command has told you our intention."

"Honestly, that's not a good idea." The cheerful Benaglio shook hands with Stewart again and introduced Pompei, the commander of the first division of the Sixth Army of the Eighteenth Group Army beside him, setting off a military stir. Hat scratched his short tawny hair, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The 2nd Division of Jie Pengzhou on the opposite side is not that easy to deal with."

"Oh?" Robert and Stuart looked at each other: "Can you tell us?"

"Those are a bunch of well-equipped bastards." Benario didn't show any restraint at first meeting, and cursed: "They are equipped with a large number of Jiepen's ninth-generation Civet mechas, and there are several high-level mecha warriors driving tenth-generation, Anubi Si mecha. In the past, this kind of mecha was rare, but this time in Jie Pen’s reinforcements, there were many of this kind of mecha. I guess their son-of-a-bitch emperor took out all the coffins to make mechas. Are you smoking? ?”

Outspoken Benaglio. After quickly winning the favor of Robert and Stuart, he took the cigarette handed over by Benaglio. Robert asked: "How good are their fighting capabilities? I heard that you fought with them for a long time."

"We suffered some losses when we met them in the early days. At that time, the logistics could not keep up." Benaglio said: "Later, our second batch of additional troops came up and opened the interstellar channel. The logistics supplies were replenished. The other party *** We have also increased our troops. Now we are in a stalemate with them here, fighting every day. This is not a strategic location. It is just a flank covering our own troops, and they are not attacking aggressively. "

As he said that, Benaglio reached out and took a document from a staff officer beside him and handed it to Robert: "The fighting lasted for almost a month, and their casualty rate was about 30%. However, Based on the intelligence from our scouts, they brought in additional troops. They should be the two armored regiments of Jiezhang and Ah Divisions."

Robert flipped through the papers. The information recorded in the electronic folder is very detailed, including the opponent's station range, daily action patterns, customary tactics during combat, as well as the extended range of alert, determination of fire suppression points in previous battles, intensity of electronic attacks, etc.

"Can you give me a copy of this?" Robert raised the electronic folder in his hand.

"Of course." Benario nodded. Then, he asked with some uncertainty: "Are you really planning to attack them?"

"Yes." Robert smiled slightly.

"When?" Benario opened his eyes wide, looking over Robert's shoulder and looking at the bandit mechas that were gathering in the distance.

Robert looked at the time and said calmly: "Now!"
