Counterfeit Hero

Now that the action plan has been determined, the discipline cultivated over a long period of time caused the federal soldiers to immediately stop all arguments. The two major combat staff officers, the two captain officers and Colonel Pitt automatically became the commanders of this temporary force according to their military ranks. Two hundred Several federal soldiers were divided into five teams, of which the third, fourth and fifth teams were composed of soldiers from the Army Armored Division, who had rich experience in mecha operations. The second team is a completely land-based aviation force. Although these pilots have been exposed to mechas, their level is limited to making mechas move. However, due to the special training requirements of pilots, they have all received training in survival behind enemy lines. There isn't much of a problem with walking on foot and using weapons, at least for a group of qualified infantry. The first team is the general reserve team personally commanded by the colonel. It is composed of the best of all soldiers, with relatively better physical conditions and combat qualities.

Tian Xingjian still leads the second platoon of the Special Reconnaissance Company with ten Warrior Pioneers, as well as one [Antenna] and one [Wrath]. He served as the commander-in-chief of the entire mixed commando team. Weapons and food were evenly distributed to everyone. This was a difficult journey, and everyone packed their bags silently. Under Pete's arrangement, everyone gathered in the carriage and held a pre-action meeting.

If you want a team to have clear goals, act decisively, obey orders, and have high morale, pre-war mobilization and action plans are a must.

Tian Xingjian stood in the middle of the carriage and began his first speech truly participating in the war. For him, this was a real test. Opposite him was a hastily assembled team of two hundred soldiers who had fought in a few days. The walking corpse that had just been rescued had almost lost its consciousness. He must turn this mess of federal people from prisoners of war back into qualified federal soldiers.

"Dear federal comrades, I think we are ready to escape."

This sentence elicited a burst of laughter. Usually, the first words of the Union Army's pre-war mobilization were: We are ready to win.

The fat man edited this sentence without seriousness.

"Yes, I don't feel ashamed. Run away! Today, what I want to tell you is not some nonsense like for all mankind and the Federation. I want to tell what is in my heart, what is in the heart of a coward!"

"Do you know? I have run twenty-one times since the enemy invaded. This time, I will take you to experience my twenty-second extreme run. This is a journey full of excitement, danger, and blood. We will become a group of primitive people, using a few bad guns in our hands to fight against mechas and fighter planes in the wilderness. Do you think it is scary? Audiences with weak hearts can leave, but before the end of this movie, there is an abyss outside. , there is no way to go. However, since you cannot tear up the movie ticket, you can choose to tear yourself up, put the gun to your head, and click your fingers. You will be dead before you feel the pain. The advantage of this is that you Don’t have to go through another prison camp.”

Dead silence

"If there are no people left, then we will all participate in this game together. We are standing on the cliff. There is no one to rely on. The only thing we can rely on is ourselves and our companions. This is a game called life and death. In this game of speed, those who are not determined will be eliminated. Those who do not obey orders will be eliminated. Those who give up on themselves will be eliminated. Even those who are unlucky will also be eliminated. I don’t know what the difference between us is. How many people will eventually win this game, but I am sure that it will definitely not be everyone. Opportunities are equal, everyone has the right to survive, and this right is completely equal among us regardless of high or low. If you want to escape When we go out, we must unite and treat the people around us as part of our body. Maybe the person you pulled on the cliff will stop a bullet heading towards your head for you later on in the journey. of bullets.”

The entire carriage was silent, only Tian Xingjian's voice echoed

"I just said that I am a coward. It is true. It is difficult for me to have the opportunity to face my heart in front of so many people. I hate war because I love life. Of course, you can understand it as greed. I am afraid of death. I have lost my parents since I was six years old. They died in a spacecraft crash. I live alone. Fortunately, my parents’ inheritance allows me not to have to perform as a performer. I am afraid of death. Since I lost my parents, every day At night, I turn on all the lights. Only light can dispel fear. This fear has been with me for sixteen years. Until now. It’s not that I am brave, but that, like you, I cannot escape. I don’t want to do it Deserter, shamefully shot. So, I came. I didn't want to leave my friends, so I stayed. I didn't want to lose my life to my opponent, so I stand here now with You talk. Everyone has only one life, no one can take it away, life will always belong to us. However, some things are more precious than life, family, love, friendship. I often think, if my parents can survive , I am willing to exchange my life for it.”

"I never dared to imagine the scene of trampling on life. When I finally arrived at the prisoner of war camp, I was shocked and angry. This anger was indescribable. I almost vomited out my gall. As I vomited, While thinking, I will never be that corpse on the pile of corpses. Whoever wants to kill me must pay the most expensive price. I can imagine how tortured and insulted you were in such an environment. , what kind of scars will be left, peace has left this country that has been peaceful for more than three hundred years, and now we have no way to escape."

"Since there is no way to escape, then we will not escape. Since the enemy wants war, then we will give them war and bring them death. We would rather die in the fight than be lambs waiting to be slaughtered. "

"So, my twenty-second escape will no longer be called escape. It has a nice name: fighting for survival!"

Some people started laughing.

"If I finally inevitably die, please write on my tombstone: A coward who has the courage to survive in desperate situations. He has been fighting for survival all his life. He is a role model for cowards."

Everyone laughed, a kind of smile that did not care about life and death, without any burden, relaxed and happy. The inscription on this tombstone belongs not only to Tian Xingjian, but also to everyone here.

Tian Xingjian was also laughing. He finally said: "Let's go, dear federal heroes, there is no turning back, no choice. Grab the gun in your hand and kill any enemy in front of you. The game begins."

The centipede started up again. This thing whose whole body had been blurred by the mud in the tunnel was tilted upwards. After breaking the hard base of the ground, it entered the highway tunnel. This tunnel will be destroyed after the team evacuates. Blast to intercept the pursuers coming from the west.

The team moved neatly and quickly. Soon, this temporary mixed commando team composed of different arms was ready to set off. Everyone is waiting quietly.

The [antenna] was activated, and three minutes later, the communication with the Federation's front finger was connected. As the file transmission was completed, Tian Xingjian gave an order, and the team embarked on a journey of no retreat amidst the huge explosion in the tunnel.

This is a team that wakes up from a nightmare and everyone is relaxed and they say, "Come on, man, we came from hell and we're going to go all the way to heaven."

Soon, they left the road and entered the dense woods in the mountainous area.

The march didn't start well.

The primitive jungle of Milok is damp and dull, and the woods are very dense and airtight. The ground was covered with fallen leaves of various plants, and a weed with serrated leaves caused a lot of trouble to everyone. If you're not careful, this ubiquitous weed can open a gash in your leg.

Tian Xingjian ordered [Fury] to go to the front. The largest mecha in the team had four powerful mechanical legs, two auxiliary mechanical legs, and four mechanical arms. It looked like a big crab.

[Rage] carried out the order to open the road very well. Wherever the crab passed, some small trees and plants were cleared away, becoming a temporary road for infantry to pass. The two robotic arms kept clearing weeds along the way, and the team's traveling speed increased a lot.

Torik led a squad of warrior pioneers to walk on both sides of the team, responsible for protecting the entire team and the [antenna] walking in the middle of the team.

The holographic scan of the [Antenna] nervously searches the sky. The Imperial Army cannot ignore the contact signals from its inner circle. Soon, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and fighter planes will fly in the sky. The [Antenna] must be discovered before the enemy discovers itself. Give a warning to buy time to hide, otherwise, a few incendiary missiles will kill half the people here.

The federal frontline command has responded to the letter, agreeing to the request to send troops to intersperse the situation, and asking the escape team to get as close as possible to the federal air force-controlled area to obtain air support. Since Rashid's previous report had mentioned the situation in the prisoner of war camp and provided live recordings from the battlefield recorder, it attracted the attention of high-level federal officials, including the headquarters and the President's Office, and instructed the Milok Resistance Army Qianzhi must find a way to get this team out. If the prisoner of war camp is exposed, the Federation will win a beautiful victory in the international public opinion, win more sympathy and assistance, and may even lead some major powers to oppose the Gacharin Empire. direct intervention in military operations.

As for the battle situation deduction submitted by Tian Xingjian, the previously mentioned combat staff only signed a receipt document and did not make a specific evaluation or reply to it. This news disappointed everyone in the escape team, regardless of the team. Whether they have the same view on this deduction, but this is the message they risk their lives to deliver, and everyone hopes to bring help to the federation.

Half an hour passed, and they were only six or seven kilometers away from the tunnel. This was already the team's ultimate speed when marching in the mountains. [Antenna] finally raised its mechanical arm, which meant that the enemy had appeared.

"Total concealment"

Almost at the same time that Tian Xingjian gave the order, the team that formed a long snake immediately spread out and got into the dense jungle. The mecha, with the [antenna] as the center, looked for the dense trees as cover, and used [Antenna] anti-metal scanning system for camouflage.

A few minutes later, the roar of fighter planes was heard in the sky.
