Counterfeit Hero

In the boundless starry sky, the huge bodies of battleships slid past, blocking the light of distant stars.

From below, the warships filling the sky look like countless giant whales swimming in the blue sea. They come in groups, shooting up the high water columns and breaking through the sparkling waves.

The planets and asteroid belts passing along the way may be dimmed by stardust, like underwater coral reefs blocked from the sunlight by swarms of whales on the surface. Only after the warships chasing each other at high speed left, did they shine again in the invisible light of the black void.

The fleet that covered the sky and the sun stretched out for tens of thousands of kilometers. Whether it was the Fei Alliance warships that were fighting and retreating in front or the Western York warships that were chasing behind them, their speeds had increased to the top.

These giant steel sharks drew straight trajectories in the stardust and cut through the waves in the asteroid belt. They chased each other at high speed while firing at each other, and they were indistinguishable.

Just as a Feiyang battleship was in danger, the two Western cruisers that besieged it exploded and shattered.

Just as one of the Western York squadrons was surrounded by the Feillant fleet, which was deliberately lagging behind, another Western York fleet had already rushed over like a mad herd of rhinos.

Thousands of space fighters flew in confusion like a swarm of frightened bees.

These extremely fast space killers with extremely small targets were suddenly released as the space carriers surrounded by fleets advanced at high speed. They rushed into the enemy fleet's formation and opened fire wantonly. They were suddenly recalled by Skynet, one after another. disappeared under the bright energy shield of the advancing aircraft carrier.

The entire universe was illuminated by the energy cannon light like meteors between battleships.

The huge white and red light group was burning, dragging a long tail, passing through the black void. When they hit the battleship, a larger and more dazzling light will light up, and the debris caused by the explosion will spread in all directions.

Outside the porthole window of the flagship command room, another huge white light lit up, illuminating the hall.

Banning's stern face was half-dark in the sudden flash of light, looking like the Grim Reaper appearing beside a traveler's fire in the silent night.

"General" Mandanda stood up from the console under Banning's command seat, walked quickly to Banning, and handed over a document marked top secret: "This is the casualty report that was just calculated."

Banning opened the file expressionlessly. Even though he was mentally prepared, his pupils couldn't help but shrink when he saw the document.

The report shows that in less than ten hours since the attack on the Metis system, our fleet has lost more than ten *-class fleets. Most of them were directly killed during the stagnation period after passing through the jump point. The bandit fleet that rushed into the formation was massacred.

During that period when the Spanish fleet was unable to fight back, the damn Filipina coalition took advantage.

Banning took a deep breath and tried to calm down his anger. However, the air inhaled into the lungs suddenly burned as if it had encountered pure oxygen from a flame. He tried his best to resist the urge to smash the folder on the ground and gritted his teeth.

Looking at Ban Ningtie's angular cheeks due to clenching his teeth, Mandanda, who stood solemnly, felt awe and emotion in his heart.

As a key training target of the Naga Federal Military, Mandanda has always been proud of his talents and talents that are outstanding among his peers. In his view, becoming a famous general is not something that requires twenty or thirty years of hard work. Perhaps in this war, he can become a famous general with a beautiful battle.

However, when he followed Banning into this battle, he discovered that whether compared with Russell, Banning, or Goode, he was still a rookie who didn't know the heights of the world.

To be honest, Banning didn't play well before this, and was even a bit useless.

Before arriving at Desik, his forward fleet had ruined six *-class fleets in vain because of the stupidity of Desik's Emperor Frank Bedru. At the same time, because he could not determine the location of the bandits' stealth fleet, he had to let Goode lead the fleet to use refueling tactics to reach the Metis jump point again and again, at the expense of heavy sacrifices, trying to push the opponent's hidden fleet to come out

The news that the bandit fleet attacked the capital of Desik put the entire Western York forward fleet in a state of chaos caused by extreme resentment. ….

Those officers and soldiers of the Spanish fleet who had opposed the refueling tactic from the beginning were furious in the fleet's free channel. What they are saying is nothing more than how wise they are, and how stupid General Na is who carefully uses fueling tactics to attack the jump point.

Mandanda felt that if it were him, he would have already lost his mind. However, these gossips did not have any impact on Banning.

The number one Naga general who overpowered Liebgot was just so calm that he almost coldly suppressed the calls for attack in the fleet. It wasn't until information about the exact size and number of the bandit fleet attacking Desik's capital came from behind that he finally made the decision to give up rescuing Desik and attack the Metis system with all his strength.

The battle entered a fever pitch as soon as Goode's forward fleet rushed out of the jumping point.

It seems that they already knew that the opponent would attack with all their strength. The bandit fleet, which had adopted long-distance defense in the previous battles, this time actually adopted a close-quarter pressing attack.

Two Chakna Group fleets and one Feiyang Group fleet entered the West York fleet group that was in a jumping stasis period from three directions and opened fire wantonly. The main formation led by Russell on the front also approached less than a thousand kilometers away from the jump end zone to launch an attack.

At this distance, the fleet's missiles and fighter jets are fully effective. They don't even need to seize the attack position, adjust the bow and formation, they just need to keep firing. Naturally, one after another, the Western York fleets appeared in front of their cannon muzzles after the jumping white light.

At that time, Mandanda felt that the cold sweat on her back was soaked through her clothes.

Banning did not show his style, but the opponent's Russell taught him the first lesson

You must know that although the close-range pressing attack of the Feiyang fleet is powerful, it puts the defender itself in a dangerous situation because the distance is too close. Unless it is judged that the jumping of the attacking fleet is a concentrated jump, which can achieve greater results, no one is willing to rush up and fight.

He simply couldn't imagine how Russell knew that the Spanish fleet would launch an all-out attack and change tactics to adopt a concentrated jump. All he knew was that Russell's command allowed the Fei Alliance fleet's pressing style to exert 200% of its power.

Every salvo they fired, every rhythm of fighter plane release and retrieval, and every fleet's route was like gasoline fueling their massacre firepower. If he had been leading the fleet, he might have been completely defeated by Russell's knife-sharp attack.

Banning, on the other hand, was calmly issuing orders from beginning to end, turning the tide of the battle bit by bit. In the end, the West York fleet survived the jump stagnation period and broke through the jump point.

What made Mandanda couldn't help but be angry was that when the Western York warships lit up their energy shields one after another, the Fei League warships that originally bit like vicious dogs moved away from the war zone one after another. Russell, who had always used military force ruthlessly and paid great attention to reputation, actually ran away

Judging from the scene, he had no intention of guarding the Metis Galaxy. Everything before was just a trap he set by taking advantage of Siyo's caution, just to take advantage of it and lose a little more of Siyo's strength.

Thinking of the scene at that time and the various voices of the coalition officers and soldiers on the fleet channel, not to mention Banning, even Mandanda standing next to him is still angry to this day.

The frustration of being pinned to the ground, bruised and swollen, and running away just when you were about to get up to fight back your opponent is really hard to stay rational.

The only thing to be thankful for may be that Gude's troops, who were the first to end their jump, made a fierce forward thrust just before the main force of the Fei League was about to escape.

That was the second lesson Mandanda learned in this battle. The teacher is Goode.

At that time, Russell's command group was only a thousand kilometers away from the jump point airspace. After surviving the stagnation time, Goode's fleet immediately inserted itself directly between Russell's command group and Chuckner's Thirteenth Group Fleet with a fierce and rapid interlude without any hesitation or reason.

Judging from the battle situation, Goode's intervention put his violent bear fleet in danger of advancing alone, which was not wise. But in fact, it was this almost crazy cut that forced the fleet of the Thirteenth Chakna Group, which was originally approaching the central cluster, to turn around and delay its retreat. ….

It was these few minutes that allowed the West York fleet to slowly approach the Russell fleet during the subsequent pursuit and bite it to death.

In the jump space battle, Russell and Goode left a deep impression on Mandanda.

But in the ensuing battle, it was Banning who shined. Not only did he have a deeper respect for Banning, but even those fleet officers of the Western Rio member states who were picky and picky gradually closed their mouths and obeyed orders in the subsequent battles. .

They first admitted after fighting against the only bandit class fleet in Russell's hands that the refueling tactic was correct when they did not know the whereabouts of the main force of the bandits.

Because through fighting, they realized what a vicious opponent they were driving a group of advanced warships.

The bandit warships appear to have an extremely advanced engine that provides their energy shield with more than twice the energy neutralizing units of the most advanced warships currently in Western York. Even if it were to attack with the main gun of the Binart battleship, it would take four battleships to fire and hit at the same time before its energy shield collapsed.

If it were fired one after another, with the recovery speed of the bandit warship's energy shield, as long as the energy was not exhausted, it would not be damaged even if it took a day.

And after its energy shield collapses, it does not mean that it can be destroyed. Although the metal materials and thickness used in their battleship armor are not much stronger than those of other Fei League battleships, their split structure brings greater survivability to the battleships.

Usually, after a battleship is penetrated through the middle or tail thrusters, it will either lose combat effectiveness or lose power. But the bandit warship is different. After the West York warships finally knocked down their energy shields, the ensuing attacks could blast away the armored shells, but they could not cause them to lose power.

That's the protection brought by their unique split structure. Their engine system does not seem to be in one location, but is composed of multiple engine systems connected in series.

This also gives their warships another kind of survivability. That is, after the shell armor and tail thruster are destroyed, they can still escape by throwing away the destroyed parts by splitting, and they can even fight back.

Facing the bandit warship, everyone feels like hitting a cockroach with a newspaper. If you hit it once, the cockroach will still run away. If you hit it twice, the cockroach will still run away. If you hit it three times, four times, five times... If no one is angry enough to step on him, then Xiaoqiang will still be running away

After witnessing the fierce impact of the bandit army, the precise and rapid bombardment, and the giant space carrier releasing more than 3,000 fighter planes at a time, the officers and soldiers of Western York could not imagine that if the main force of the bandit army relied on their stealth technology in the airspace of the jumping point, Or setting up an ambush somewhere in the flight section, how miserable would the Western York fleet be if they did not use refueling tactics to attack.

During this pursuit, Banning's commanding skills also convinced every Xijiao officer and soldier.

Starting from the jumping point, Russell's troops first retreated along the channel leading to the main star of Metis, trying to retreat to the A8 system. However, since the main force of his fleet could not escape the pursuit of the Western Fleet, he had to use several obstacle areas in the channel to block, trying to repel the pursuers and then leave calmly.

However, Banning had the upper hand in these encounters. Whether it was a head-on confrontation, a fake defeat, an ambush, an affair, or a feint, Russell could not hide it from Banning's eyes. Several attempts to block it by relying on obstacle areas not only failed to close the distance, but instead made the West York fleet bite tighter and forced it out of the channel.

This was the third lesson Mandanda learned.

In terms of making accurate judgments and issuing correct orders in such a fierce battle, he is still far behind Banning.

Every tactical change in the battle between the two sides, even the sailing route of each fleet, the timing and control of salvos and fighter planes, can be called art.

Now, as the distance between the fleets of both sides gets closer and closer, and as the Russell fleet, which is forced out of the waterway, encounters more and more dangers from space, the battle has come to an end.

"Goode, the first fleet of the violent bears deflected 1500 ticks to the left, full speed ahead. Within three minutes, they will arrive in R23 airspace, coordinates 233934.425563.345522.7."

"The fleet of Binart's 63rd Group, seize the attack position along the outer rotation line, and the 64th Group's fleet will cover it. Your mission is to intercept the opponent."

On the podium, Banning put down the documents and coldly issued orders one after another.

In the void outside the porthole window, countless battleships were speeding at lightning speed, and countless energy cannon lights trailed their long tails and crisscrossed back and forth. The Fei League fleet ahead was running wildly along the edge of an asteroid belt. The West York fleet in the rear was already under the command of Banning, with its wings expanded like a big fish net, trying to cover the enemy. ….

Mandanda's eyes glanced across the star map inadvertently.

Russell, who was forced out of the waterway, drew a large circle in the universe after more than ten hours of escape, and was forced into the airspace not far from the jump point of the Metis galaxy.

However, this time they can no longer take advantage like they did in the previous defense. This place, which is only three million kilometers away from the jump point in a straight line, is the grave of the Fei Alliance fleet.

"general"

In front of the central console, a staff officer suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

Banning and Mandanda frowned and stared. That is the control area of ​​​​the radar. Usually, if there is a situation, the staff will report it to the intelligence liaison officer on duty. It is rare to stand up and shout directly at the central command podium.

In the field of vision, the staff officer's face looked as pale as if he had seen a ghost. His finger pointed at the radar screen, and a pair of small eyes opened desperately, revealing a look of extreme fear and despair.

There was nothing surprising on the radar screen, but scattered dots suddenly appeared around the fleet.

The small green light spots became denser and denser, and in an instant they filled the entire screen.

There was a loud "boom", and the flagship shook violently. Then, dozens of exploding white lights lit up from the battleship's portholes at the same time. Dazzling and dazzling, with a kind of desperate coldness

The shrill cry of "enemy attack" sounded on the fleet channel at the same time.

Amid the cry, Mandanda looked at the telescope with cold hands and feet. In front of me, behind me, to the left, to the right, above, below, in the endless void, there are bandit warships slowly emerging from the void, and everywhere they are like heavy cumulonimbus clouds. bandit fighter plane.

Nine*-class fleets, nine giant space carriers

Under the attack of these warships and fighter planes, the entire Western York fleet was in chaos. Countless battleships were beaten to pieces from behind and from the side.

"How is it possible? How did they come back? How could they appear here?" Mandanda couldn't believe her eyes.

After learning that the main force of the bandit army was attacking the capital of Desik, Banning personally led the staff to repeatedly rule out and confirm the possibility of the bandit army returning reinforcements before ordering the attack.

Moreover, the total time from the attack on the jump point to now is less than fifteen hours, and there is absolutely no jump point leading to the Mars Free Channel in the places Russell passed during his escape. How did these bandit warships appear here?

He turned back sharply and looked at Banning.

But he saw the famous Naga general slowly sitting down on the chair. The color on his face, like that of the staff officer who discovered the bandit army, faded away in an instant.

"Admiral" Mandanda barked.

"I always feel like I'm being beaten by the nose," Banning's voice seemed to be floating in the sky above the command hall, "I've also been telling myself that the bandits don't have enough time to come back for reinforcements. As long as Russell doesn't kill us, If we steer towards the jumping point leading to the Mars Channel, we will be in no danger. However, I forgot one thing..."

Under Mandanda's gaze, his left hand slowly followed the main channel of Zeus and Hera, pointing to the jumping point where the West York fleet originally stayed, and then passed through the jumping point and pulled directly to the current airspace. And his right hand, following the escape route of Russell's fleet, made a big circle and returned to the current airspace.

"A simple but genius time difference trap." As the battleship shook violently, Banning said solemnly: "These madmen came directly from the main channel of the Hera galaxy and fought all the way back."
