Counterfeit Hero

On February 23, 2064, when the West York army moved south at full speed under the leadership of Sober, and forward Banning led his troops to storm the jumping point of the Metis system where the Russell fleet was stationed, no one thought that on this day At ten o'clock in the morning, the main force of the bandit fleet had already quietly passed through the Mars Free Channel and launched a sneak attack on the Athena Galaxy.

At that time, the combined fleets of Puditok and Tartania, led by Long Xiao and Jedinak respectively, launched a new round of offensive against the Desik fleet stationed on the Golden Fleece Star. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides near the Nadimako star cluster, which was three jumps away from the Golden Fleece star.

In the sixth hour of the battle, the formation of the left fleet led by Long Xiao collapsed, which immediately affected Jedinak's troops on the right. The combined fleets of the two countries, interspersed in the middle by the Desik fleet, were isolated and had to abandon the jump channel behind them and retreat to the obstacle area in the distance.

After carefully confirming the enemy's defeat, Commander Desik was unwilling to give up this golden opportunity and decisively ordered the fleet to pursue it at full speed, making sure to annihilate Jedinak's troops who were lagging behind to cover.

Unexpectedly, when the Desik fleet pursued the obstacle area of ​​the ea Chuan 1 planet belt, they were suddenly attacked by the bandit fleet that passed through the obstacle area. Hundreds of Dethik warships were caught off guard and shattered to pieces by energy cannons coming from behind.

Unable to turn under the muzzle of the bandit warships, many commanders of the Desik Squadron had no choice but to order their warships to speed up, trying to complete a cross-cover tactic with the turning main fleet ahead. Get rid of the disadvantageous situation of facing the enemy from the rear.

The so-called cross cover means that our fleets are moving towards each other, like two combs, crossing each other head on. This tactic is a conventional evasive tactic chosen by the fleet when encountering a tail attack. The attacked party takes advantage of the time before the attacker has time to launch an attack on the front fleet, allowing the safe front or flank fleet to turn its bow, deploy a formation to meet the enemy, and cover the rear fleet to pass between the formations, thereby getting rid of the pursuit.

What people didn't expect was that this tactic, which had been tested countless times in actual combat, became the culprit that accelerated the collapse of the Dethik fleet.

Under the almost desperate pursuit of the bandit warships, many aristocratic officers in the Dersik tail fleet did not care about the friendly ships around them and just accelerated their escape in order to save their lives. So when a large number of Desik warships with completely scattered formations rushed into the front line of the fleet, many front line warships had not had time to complete the turn.

And when the defeated combined fleets of Puditok and Tartania turned around and joined the battle group, the battle quickly turned into a disaster.

The Desik fleet, which was in the center of the encirclement and was in chaos, was completely unable to fight back. The bandits and the Tapu combined fleet completely annihilated the Desik Athena area in less than six hours. fleet, the Northeast Theater Fleet and the Royal Sixth Fleet.

After the battle, there was no longer a Dethik battleship in the Athenian Mantis Galaxy!

Afterwards, the coalition fleets of Bandan and Tapu quickly joined forces. Before the Dexiks could react, they ignored the Golden Fleece Star guarded by the Dexiks Army and headed south through the jump channel, directly towards the Dexiks. The Zeus galaxy, the capital of Sik, launched a fierce attack.

In less than five days, Desik lost more than twenty A-class fleets one after another, and his vitality was severely damaged.

In addition, two group fleets from the capital Zeus system and a large number of \\{\\}-class C-class escort fleets were transferred to the Hera system to assist the Banning fleet in attacking Metis. Therefore, when encountering the main force of the bandits and the attack of the Tapu coalition, At that time, the defense of the Zeus galaxy, the capital of Desik, was actually very weak.

In panic and confusion, Emperor Frank Bedru of Dethic issued orders one after another, ordering all the fleets in the country to fully support the Zeus Sacred System, and asked for help from Banning, who was attacking the jumping point of the Metis system.

As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked. Not only was the Xiyue side in chaos, but even the top leaders of the Fiji League were dumbfounded.

Bandit Nian's skills are too ruthless, too cruel, and too vicious.

The capital of the Desik Empire is the symbol of the Desik Empire. Once the capital is breached, one can imagine the severe blow it will have on the entire West.

What's more important is that since the Leray Central Passage has been taken back by Leray, in the entire southeastern galaxy, there is actually only one place to stay in West York, Desik. Whether it is logistics transportation or fleet stationing, Desik is required as the forward base. Once the bandits storm into the capital of Desik, smash them up, and then move around with the Zeus galaxy as the center, I'm afraid half of the subsequent battle will be lost before it even starts!

After being shocked, a question that drove people crazy arose: "Sobol's entire army went south, and the 400 A-class fleet was like a wolf and a tiger. With the famous Naga general Banning as the vanguard, he was fierce. No matter how you look at it, the bandits are The army is like a little white rabbit in the mouth of a wolf. But if someone is so aggressive and proactive, is he a little white rabbit or a fucking rogue rabbit?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the southeastern star field.

"Fat man, what do you think?" In front of the electronic star map in the war conference room, Margaret, who had her long pale golden hair tied into a neat ponytail, tilted her head slightly and looked at the fat man intently with a pair of mysterious and charming green eyes: " Judging from the battle report, our army has a high success rate in attacking the Desikzeus system.

"If we can break into the Zeus system, then West York's face will be completely lost!" Admiral Malki on the side said, "Besides, Desik is the base for West York's coalition forces to move south. Just the early transfer of supplies will cost a lot of money. More than half of them are in Desik. Once our army enters the Zeus system, it will be equivalent to laying a nail in the Sol star field in Desik."

Malki's fingers moved from the Athena Galaxy to the Zeus Galaxy: "The two passages for the West-York Allied Forces to go south are the Zeus Galaxy and the Prometheus Galaxy. Taking Zeus will directly threaten Prometheus. I'm afraid Banning won't be able to sleep well after we put a dagger on his waist!"

"However, our bandit fleet and the Tapu coalition combined are only more than thirty A-class fleets. Moreover, General Long Xiao has to take into account the defense of the Athena system. Once the Sobor fleet arrives, we may not be able to defend it. Live in the Zeus galaxy?" Flavio asked.

"No need to defend, just attack!" Mikhailovich said: "When Sobor goes south, the fleet cannot arrive at the same time. We have enough time to attack the Zeus galaxy before his main force arrives and launches an attack on the Zeus galaxy. Destroy the Desik airports, space stations, space docks and space bases in Zeus and surrounding systems."

"As long as we can complete this strategic target within three days, even if we withdraw from the Metis system immediately, Xiyo knows that it will take more than fifteen days to complete the supplementary preparations for strategic objects!$. Moreover, in order This plan to support Sobol’s army must be supported by more transport capacity.”

Say it, Mihailo! .!!Qi looked around, and finally cast his gaze on Fatty’s face: “Now, the only thing we don’t know is how Banning will respond!”

In the conference room, everyone focused their attention on Fatty. Margaret, Fang Xiang and An Lei, who were sitting next to the fat man, couldn't take their eyes off him.

Because this battle was under the full command of Russell. The secret combat plan formulated based on the situation on the front line was not reported to the rear as usual. Therefore, everyone can only analyze through battle reports. Before Fatty rushed back, everyone had been analyzing it for a long time. There are also different opinions on Banning's possible response tactics.

Admiral Malki and Fang Xiang believed that [x] it was inevitable for Banning to return to the army to rescue Desik. [x]After all, [x]allowing Desik to be messed up by the bandits, [s] will not only lead to the lack of supplies after the main force of West York arrives and cannot immediately launch an attack, [w]Similarly, [.]the forwards he leads will The fleet will also be in trouble because the logistics channel is cut off. 【n】Once there is a bigger defeat as a result, 【e】will be a heavy blow to Xiyo’s ambitious southward strategy.

Therefore, for Banning, the safest way now is to use the superior force at hand to guard the jump point of the Hera Galaxy while returning to the Zeus Galaxy and forcefully force the bandits to withdraw from the Zeus Galaxy.

Mikhailovich and Margaret are of another opinion.

They believe that Xiyo is, to some extent, already in a state of being trapped between a tiger and a tiger. If Banning returns to the army at this time, then - not only will he not be able to open the channel to the Leray Central System jump point before the main force of Sobol arrives, he will not even be able to get back the Metis System.

So Banning won't waste any time. He would forget about the Desik people's request for help, and then concentrate all his forces to launch an attack on the Russell fleet, striving to defeat or even annihilate the Russell fleet in one fell swoop.

Banning obviously knew very well about the strength of the bandits. Without more backup, as long as the Sobol fleet is annihilated, it will not only open up the channel to Leray's central system, but he can even lead his troops far beyond Sheldon's strength to directly penetrate the southeast channel!

This speculation made Mihajlovic and Margaret very worried. .

Although they have full trust in Russell's commanding ability. However, the main force of the bandit army made a surprise attack on the capital of Desik, which reduced the strength of Russell's troops to a dangerous level. It is not unusually difficult to withstand the all-out attack of the Banning fleet with more than a dozen A-class fleets.

At this time, everyone wanted to hear what Fatty, Russell's disciple, thought of Teacher Shaoji's tactics.

In the silence, the fat man suddenly said: "The plan to sneak attack the capital of Desik was not made by Mr. Russell.

"Oh?" Mihajlovic, Flavio and others ignored it and asked urgently: "Who could that be?"

"Like Karl," the fat man took the battle report and frowned and read it non-stop. After reading it, he climbed on the electronic sand table and carefully checked the route of the Metis and Zeus galaxies. "I like to keep my eyes on the At the core of the enemy, there are only two people in the bandit army who dare to take such risks, one is me and the other is Karl."

"Karl?" Margaret and others' minds immediately popped up with the image of that big head, while Flavio and others were unfamiliar with Karl. After all, the three of them had not fought together with the bandit army for a long time, and they were not familiar with these main members of the bandit army.

"So," Malki asked curiously: "How do you think Banning will fight?"

"It's hard to say," the fat man said with a frown: "Banning is cautious, but he also dares to use troops. Once he makes a judgment, he will be firm. Returning troops to reinforce or attacking with all-out force are possible."

Mihajlovic and others on the side were a little disappointed. Margaret rolled her eyes at the fat man: "If you say it, you haven't said it yet."

"Actually, you made a mistake." The fat man ignored Margaret and frowned as he repeatedly checked the battle report and the interstellar map: "What we need to figure out now is not what Banning will do, but what he will do." What does Mr. Serge want to do?

He raised his head and gave a big eye roll.

To Margaret: "Is Russell blocking Banning in the Metis system just to cooperate with the bandit army and the Tapu coalition to attack the Zeus system?"

"It's just?" Margaret's eyes widened: "That's Xiyo's advanced base, and it's even more human.

The capital of the family. The whole world is in trouble, fat man, what else do you want to do?"

·The enemy doesn’t know, and we ourselves don’t understand. We have plenty of opportunities to attack the capital of Desik. Go whenever you want. Otherwise, how could we have the courage to fight Sobol? "The fat man said calmly: "So, the teacher's sneak attack on the Zeus Galaxy is just a beginning, and it will never be the end!"

\u0026nbot;』" The generals looked at each other.

\u0026nbot;”Fat

"What's wrong?" Fang Xiang asked. "The Tapu coalition has a total of twenty-five A-class fleets?" "Shi!" "The bandit army has nine A-class fleets and nine apocalyptic-class space carriers, all of which participated in the war against Germany.

"yes!

"I understand!" The fat man suddenly laughed, as if he had seen a chicken.

"What's going on? Tell me!" Flavio urged.

"This plan was not made by Karl, nor by Russell Laofeng," said the fat man.

He shook his fist and said excitedly: "The two of them did this together!"

"The sneak attack on the capital of Desik must have been Karl's idea. To be honest, I have always had this idea before. You know, the current Mars Channel is in our hands. In this regard, Sister Xiang I have done a lot of work and basically squeezed everything out of the minds of the navigators of Mars’ smuggling ships, break-in ships, pirates and exploration ships.”

Hearing the fat man's compliment, Fang Xiang smiled sheepishly.

"When we learned that Sobol was coming, I actually thought about attacking the capital of Desik first. Kill him and make a mess and run away." The fat man muttered, "But if we do that, we will take advantage of it." The advantage is not big. Even if we capture the capital of Desik, as long as we cannot destroy the Prometheus galaxy, we still have to retreat when Sobor comes."

Margaery was fine with them, while Mikhailovich and Malki beside them were speechless. This fat man set his sights on the capital city, and said that it was not a big advantage. How many pieces does the bandit usually play mahjong?

"When I just saw the battle report, I thought that Mr. Russell would choose to attack Desik with three or four fleets, and then ambush another part of the fleet at the Metis jump point. Wait until Banning found out that the bandit fleet appeared behind him , and when it is judged that there is no lurking fleet at the jump point, and then launches an attack, then launch an ambush."

Malki's eyes lit up and he shouted: "What a great idea!".

Mihajlovic, Margaret and others on the side also looked at each other, excited. If the bandits use half of their fleet to cooperate with the Tapu coalition to attack the capital of Desik, coupled with the blockade of information, then Banning is likely to be fooled. As long as he dares to break into Metis, with the stealth technology of the bandit fleet, Russell has ten thousand ways to make him pay!

"But no." The fat man shook his head, denying his thoughts.

"Why?" Malki asked.

The fat man said: "Banning doesn't have a good impression of the Desiks. Moreover, it is the capital of Desiks that is under attack now, not Prometheus, which is designated by Desiks in the south passage from West York and has the largest concentration of supplies. Galaxy. More importantly, he is very cautious. He will not easily invest all his troops before getting the specific number of bandits behind him."

"Besides," Pang Gu said with a broken chin: "Banning has a huge advantage in troops. We don't concentrate our troops."

Even if the sneak attack is successful, it will be difficult to cause a fatal blow to him.

Malki blinked and swallowed. Although he is also a federal general, "he suddenly found that he still couldn't keep up with the thinking of Fatty Russell's gangsters. Perhaps only such a group of cunning guys can build an army like the Bandit Army."

"So, General Russell must make Banning make up his mind." Fatty said: "The method is very simple, that is, send all the bandit fleets to let Banning know that the bandits are determined to work with the Tapu coalition to The whole Desik mess.”

"General Russell, by doing this, isn't he pouring out the bath water, and the children are also thrown out?" Margaret, who had been leaning over to check the interstellar map, said doubtfully: "Send the main force of the fleet to attack the Zeus galaxy, then Banning will attack What should we do when Metis arrives? Should we rush back? Even if we rush back from the Mars Channel, we won’t have enough time!”

"Indeed." The fat man nodded: "If we take the original route from the Mars Channel and rush back to the Metis Galaxy, we will not have enough time. However, when the Dexiks put all the surrounding fleets into the Zeus Galaxy Jump During the defense of the point, if Xibanning devotes all his troops to the attack, then we actually have a way to come back."

"Which way?" Mikhailovich asked from the side.

"Here!" The fat man pointed at the interstellar map with his finger, and sneered: "The Hera galaxy channel, an unobstructed sunshine avenue!"

, got up at nine o'clock, and achieved the results of the work so far. Ou Ye. Go to bed early today too. I’ll write some new book outlines and go to bed at 11 o’clock!
