Counterfeit Hero

The glowing nebulae, which are like burning clouds, are silent in the universe. The world is actually colorless. The colors that humans perceive are just different reactions formed in the mind by light passing through the optic nerve.

In this vast starry sky, that red cloud has existed in this star field in its original form since ancient times. It was only when the first human spacecraft passed by here and saw her that she was given this magnificent appearance and a name as brilliant as the clouds in the sky.

From the era of human space exploration to the present, she silently watched one after another human spacecraft appear and disappear from here. Gradually, more and more spacecraft came and went. The entire waterway is bustling with traffic and bustling.

Ten years, fifty years, one hundred years, one thousand years..." "Generations of space travelers, explorers, and businessmen have passed through this channel, and as time goes by, they will never come back again. New people have joined them and continue the journey of human civilization. Now, the largest number of ships on this waterway are no longer scientific research ships, merchant ships, and exploration ships, but warships.

On the other side of the asteroid belt and cosmic dust 1.2 million kilometers away from the fortress, a reconnaissance satellite floated silently among the rubble and dust.

This is a black military satellite. It looks like a bee with square wings.

Above its head, the ring-shaped radar is constantly running, and the telescope lens on the circular body rotates once every two minutes, closely monitoring everything around it. Any disturbance, or even subtle changes in cosmic waves, cannot escape its keen perception.

There are many satellites like this in this airspace that has been operated by the Feiyang Republic military for hundreds of years. They have different shapes, different working principles, and different performances. Just quietly lurking in the asteroid belt and cosmic dust, bringing everything under his control.

A jealous reconnaissance ship slowly broke open. Diffuse and solidified cosmic dust appeared next to this black military satellite.

This is a Feiyang [Alert] class small reconnaissance ship that is nearly four-fifths smaller than a small frigate. It cannot perform space jumps, nor can it use jump channels to perform ultra-long-range reconnaissance missions. Therefore, this kind of reconnaissance ship with a three-person reconnaissance team usually functions as the eyes of the fleet.

At this moment, in [Alert]'s cab, three Feiyang naval scouts were nervously monitoring various reconnaissance instruments in the cabin. "Pete..." 'Look at this. "A young soldier with sparse yellow hair and light blue eyes gently touched the thin companion next to him: "The cosmic wave has changed. "

"It should be a meteor swarm." The thin companion leaned over, looked at the instrument screen and data carefully, and said with certainty: "If the data change does not exceed the warning line, just ignore it, do you understand?" ""Understood. "

"Hey, tell me, where will the bandit fleet be now?" Xiao', the main control pilot in the front row of the cabin, carefully avoided a large rock rolling past in front of his eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to ask. .

"I don't think they will come to our middle." Pete, a thin observer, quickly typed on the virtual keyboard with both hands while half-squinting his eyes and carefully checking the data on the screen. He said: "The bandit fleet is most likely -, Let’s attack the Third Mixed Fleet on our right wing, after all, the terrain there is more open.”

After typing the last key, he leaned his back on the chair and continued: "This is not the first time we have exercised here. Last time, the fleets of the 23rd Army and the 25th Army were the Blue Army, and there were a total of twelve fleets. What will be the outcome if the A-level fleet storms here?"

Observer Pete's words made the two companions nod violently.

That drill is still fresh in their minds. At that time, the 32nd Army only dispatched two A-class fleets to cooperate with the Democratic Forces fleet to defend this airspace. As a result, no matter what tricks the other party plays, they have no effect. Twelve A-level fleets smashed into pieces on this line of defense. The left wing of the defense line is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is easily forced into the gravitational capture zone of the white dwarf by the defensive fleet.

Although the offensive warship is forced into the gravity capture zone, it does not mean that it cannot break out or will be swallowed up. However, the capture area is like a quagmire on the battlefield.

Being stuck in the mud may be a matter of spending some time and wasting some engine, troops and energy to climb out in normal times. However, once in a combat situation, it is almost a dead end for being passively beaten. The center and right wing of the defense line are intertwined. The asteroid belt in the middle is a natural barrier.

The dense asteroid belt makes it impossible for a large number of warships to pass through it at one time. If the battleship passes through the asteroid belt from west to east, the formation will be broken up when entering the asteroid belt. Without a formation, as soon as the scattered warships emerge from the asteroid belt, they will encounter a head-on attack from the defensive fleet.

Moreover, once the center is attacked, the right-wing fleet can forcefully jump through the short distance of the planet's gravity within half an hour to reinforce the No. 2 airspace in the center.

This also means that in order to break through the central defense line, the enemy must theoretically be prepared to sacrifice more than five times its troops.

The center and the left wing are both easy to defend and difficult to attack. Then, the only weakness of the entire defense system may be the right wing theater itself. It will take more than two hours for the center and left wing fleets to reinforce the right wing, and the right wing itself is not as harsh as the geographical conditions of the left wing battlefield. Therefore, directly attacking the right wing is the best way to destroy the entire foreign line. However, in actual combat, this is not the case.

The right-wing defense force will not stay where it is and wait for the enemy to attack. They will use the gravity of the planet in the defense zone to move at high speed. The moment the enemy appears, they will break through to the enemy's flanks or even diagonally to the rear, seize the attack position, and launch an attack.

In this case of seizing the attack position first, the battleship's loss and exchange ratio would even reach one to ten!

In the last exercise, the 23rd Group Fleet and the 25th Group Fleet chose the right wing as the main attack direction. Among their twelve A-class fleets, except for two fleets each in the left and middle airspace for containment, the remaining eight A-class fleets all pressed towards the right airspace. The result was a disastrous defeat.

In the first round of battle, the defensive troops, who had a complete understanding of the gasket airspace, moved to their left at high speed when they just entered the defense zone. Before they could adjust the bow of the ship, a salvo of missiles and energy cannons had already landed on their heads. This round of attack directly caused chaos in their formation and caused a large number of ships to be eliminated. .

In the next few rounds of fighting, the attacking side was still at a disadvantage, and it was not until the fifth round that they finally seized the attacking position. Launched their first salvo since entering the battlefield. However, at this time, the defensive team had already begun to retreat. Also retreating at the same time were the defensive fleets in the center and left wing.

When several defensive fleets with almost no losses retreated to the fortress defense range and launched a counterattack with the support of the fortress's firepower, half of the 23rd Group Fleet and the 25th Group Fleet, which were responsible for the offensive mission, were already on board. The exercise director’s death list.

That battle left a very deep impression on the three people in the scout ship. Therefore, they simply couldn't understand how a bandit army with only one A-class fleet and five aircraft carriers could have the confidence to magnetize this hard rock! "I'm afraid we won't be able to win any battles in our central airspace this time." Observer Pete stretched his body, looked up at the monitor above, and said lazily. "Huh?" The yellow-haired soldier on the side suddenly pointed at the far-vision device screen in surprise: "What is that?" "What?" "The observer and the main pilot quickly turned their heads.

On the screen of the telescope, a black UFO, not much bigger than an egg, flashed past. Then, there was another one. " "A moment later, thousands of black eggs came overwhelmingly. The observers looked at the radar in shock. There was no reaction at all on the radar and other detection instruments!

"Send an alert to the fleet." Before the observer finished speaking, he saw countless eggs suddenly ejected and turned into flying and circling saucers. At the same time, the lights of the electronic equipment in the cabin flashed randomly and made bursts of sharp and ear-piercing noises. The indicator light of electronic interference soared all the way, and after a while, it reached its peak.

Looking at the red light, the three Feiyang soldiers felt as if their hearts had sunk to the bottom of the cold water, feeling horrified and helpless. The telescope is still working.

The surrounding satellites have all turned into incomprehensible stones after violent tremors. In the distance, an A-class fleet and three space carriers have appeared. "Is there any news from the front?" "Where is the bandit fleet?" "Why has there been no movement for so long?

In the Skynet Hall, the generals watching the battle were all whispering to each other. Half an hour has passed. According to the scheduled plan, the two parties should have their first contact at this time. However, the Red Army, as the main observer, found nothing.

The satellites, reconnaissance ships and patrol ships deployed at the forefront of the defense line did not notice any abnormalities at all. The bandit fleet seemed to have disappeared from the universe. After all, this is just an exercise, not a real battle.

In the acting plan, the bandits do not need to break through the several defense lines in front of the Manxia Nebula Corridor, nor do they need to occupy several strategic points in the corridor.

They only need to sail beyond the monitoring range of the Thirty-second Army Fleet to start taking action. But now, ten minutes have passed the scheduled contact time, and there is still no movement.

Because before the Blue Army takes action, the director's department, which focuses on Feiyang's defense, cannot switch perspectives. Therefore, no one knows what these Feiyang "enemies" are doing at the moment. This silence made the generals watching the battle feel a heavy pressure.

The bandit army is not the Binart Empire. However, when they came from the west, preparing to thrust out their sharp swords in the darkness and test the strongest shield in everyone's mind, this nervous emotion was still very strong. Perhaps Feiyang has been proud for too long.
