Counterfeit Hero

Chapter 15 The attack begins

Announcement on April 9th: If you open a webpage and it says there is a virus, please clear the IE cache. "Route?" Noticing Fairler's anomaly, Thelwall also paid attention to the electronic sandbox.

Soon he discovered the problem Fairer had discovered.

Judging from the sand table, the mysterious armored team first broke through the North Alliance's Perfume Street defense line from west to east, and then penetrated the Inland River Bridge to the northeast. After blowing up the river bridge, they turned southeast. Finally, they ran into the 4th Armored Battalion who came to encircle them on the Champs Elysées.

It was this strange route that caught the attention of Fairler and Thelwall - this armored team had obviously taken a big detour! If they want to attack the base, then they can go southwest from the Perfume Street defense line, cross the Seven-hole Bridge over the Inland River, and then turn northeast to attack the base. It will be much closer than making a big circle like they are doing now!

According to the defense deployment of the Northern Alliance, the overall focus is to defend the west and north. After all, the three sides of the central city, the north, south, east, and east, as well as the northeast and southeast, are already under the control of the Northern Alliance. In the west, there were not only the Puluo Town bandits, but also the Longxing Club, which had always been regarded as the biggest enemy, occupying Bering Harbor and Qianlong Harbor in the northwest.

Since the beginning of the faction war, Thelwall has never relaxed its vigilance against the Longxing Society. The shared information given to him by the Sus Empire also clearly pointed out the relationship between the Longxing Society and the Chakna Republic. Different from the mutual use of the Northern Alliance and Soos, the Longxing Society has been branded as the Chakna National Security Bureau from the beginning!

There is evidence that the Chakna National Security Bureau has not relaxed its control over Longxing in the past ten years. This organization's ground armed forces and space fleet. Most of them were secretly established with the help of the Chakna government, and they were filled with a large number of Chakna agents and military personnel.

after all. The Mars free channel is inseparable from the Chakna main channel. There are countless types of spacecraft that enter Mars through the main channel or enter the main channel through the free channel. As a sovereign country in the central star zone between several major powers, Chakna is naturally quite sensitive to this waterway that relates to economic interests, national security, and intelligence sources.

therefore. It is inevitable that the Longxing Society exists as a source of intelligence and an armed force that performs secret missions that are inconvenient to be disclosed. For many years, the Longxing Society has been monitoring the free shipping lanes for Chakna. With their tentacles, they capture all kinds of information and perform various tasks.

As Chakna's nail on the Mars planet, Chakna's secret support for the Longxing Society has never been cut off. The equipment and personnel are all equipped according to the standards of key organizations. If it were not unable to attract attention, Chakna could even directly turn the Longxing Society into a military organization!

Even if it can only be equipped with personnel and weapons according to the armed forces of the merchant group, there is support in other aspects. It's much more powerful. There is no telling how many of Longxing Hui's opponents fell into the hands of the Chakna fleet within the Chakna Kingdom or even in the main waterway for no apparent reason. This is also the reason why the Longxing Society has never participated in the pursuit of power in the free world and has remained standing for many years.

According to Susi intelligence, before the war broke out, the Chakna Republic secretly transported a large amount of weapons and equipment to the Longxing Society. Obviously, they are preparing for Longxing to control Mars Freeport. However, because the Sus Empire suddenly launched an attack on the Rex Galaxy and occupied the main channel, the Longxing Society could no longer get the support of the Chakna Republic. Therefore, he continues to maintain a low profile and bide his time.

As the war progresses, the Chakna Republic has assembled heavy troops to counterattack the Resk system, trying to lock Suss back into the Eastern Star Territory. Regain control of the main channel. At the same time, now is also the most critical moment of the Mars War. At this time, if Thelwall is not wary of the Longxing Society, he would be underestimating his IQ!

After seeing the route of this mecha team that they had never seen before, an idea gradually popped into the minds of Thelwall and Fairler. The two looked at each other. Their faces were a little solemn.

Until now, they still don't know how sacred this mecha team is. On the planet Mars. The troops that could break through the Northern Alliance defense line so easily without any casualties could not be found in the list of forces in their minds. More importantly, they still don't know the combat goal of this team. There is no combat goal, so why would this team be in danger just to mess around like this?

Obviously, this is not the answer to the question. No commander would issue such an order.

Judging from the map, due to the attack of this mecha team, the defense line from Perfume Street in the west to the Inland River Bridge in the northwest has been smashed to pieces. In order to contain these dozens of mechas, the defense line has been The 3rd Machinery Infantry Division was mobilized to return to defense along the inland shipping bridge... Thelwall and Ferler coincidentally thought of the same possibility - now it was the Northern Alliance attacking the town of Plo. During the critical period, the central city's military strength is relatively weak. If Longxing takes advantage of the opportunity...

"What's the current news at Bering Port and Qianlong Port?" Fairler suddenly turned around and looked at the staff officer beside him.

"Everything is normal..." The staff officer checked the classified information in the central console computer and reported: "Currently, no abnormal actions have been found in Longxing."

"Nothing unusual?" Fairler fell into deep thought again. He sat on a high chair in front of the electronic sand table, holding his chest with one hand and supporting his temples with the other. After a long time, he suddenly started typing quickly on the keyboard.

"Let our people expand the scope of surveillance and control every road leading from Bering Port and Qianlong Port to the outside world! Especially the west side of Bering Port."

After finishing the deduction, Fairler stood up, lowered his head and turned around a few times. He looked at the time and ordered: "Order all troops to seize the time. They must launch an attack on time at eight o'clock in the morning. Order the warrior mercenaries." The First Armored Regiment and the Second Armored Regiment, speed up the advance and arrive at the scheduled location no later than 0:00 tomorrow and launch the attack."

"Yes!" The staff officer took the order and left.

Thelwall looked worried. He hesitated and said: "North..."

"The arrow is on the string and must be fired." Feier said calmly: "Before planning the offensive in Puluo Town, we have reserved enough defensive forces. Now. The troops have arrived at the scheduled location. Within twenty-four hours, Puo Town will be launched. It's in our hands, even if Longxing sends troops at this time, they won't be able to reach Central City within 24 hours, let alone penetrate our defense line."

"But, that armored team..." Thelwall's brows still didn't loosen. .

"Since there is no action in the north, then..." Fairler looked at the electronic sand table. He sneered and said: "This can only be the bandit troops. What do they want to do here? Needless to say! Taking a detour from the Inland River Bridge is just to divert the tiger away from the mountain!"

"Beheading?" Thelwall laughed dumbly: "Just with their dozens of mechas?"

"Report!"

As soon as Thelwall finished speaking, a staff officer suddenly stood up from his seat at the center console, stumbled past the other staff officers in the aisle, ran to Feller, and hurriedly said: "Fourth Armored Battalion, Defeated by the enemy.”

"What?!"

The looks on Thelwall and Fairler's faces. At the same time, the sky changed and it gradually became brighter, but the clouds in the sky still enveloped Puluo Town. The thick appearance showed no signs of spreading out.

The heavy rain is still falling. Large raindrops fell on the ground, causing thousands of splashes. The accumulated water on the street flows downwards along the terrain, and the leaves on the roadside are swaying in the wind and rain, every leaf. They were all washed away by the rain.

There were very few people on the streets. Residents took refuge in bomb shelters or underground buildings in the space city. Those who did not hide mostly stayed at home. The originally noisy and bustling city suddenly became deserted. Only the food distribution point controlled by the factional alliance remained open on the street. People who did not go to the air-raid shelters to receive unified supplies lined up, turning their heads from time to time to look at the soldiers running past in the rain, as well as the military vehicles or mechas loaded with materials and personnel.

The sound of cannons in the distance came one after another. Everyone has become confused about where the war is going on. To the east, to the west, to the south...the sound of gunfire echoed among the high-rise buildings, sounding like the east and the west, and it sounded like it in every direction. It is said that. The Northern Alliance dispatched a large number of troops this time. In different directions, they launched an attack on Puluo Town at the same time. Residents outside the Third Ring Road. They have all been withdrawn into the center of the city, where they have become a ring of defense for the bandits.

People can't help but be a little worried.

After all, the front line is only a short forty kilometers away from the city center. Once it is broken through, the enemy will be able to rush here within an hour along the road. Can the bandit army be stopped? Could it be that Protown will eventually turn into a bloody hell like Central City, Infantry Port, and Lille Port?

It was already seven o'clock in the morning, and all kinds of gossip was circulating on the streets.

Some said that the bandits just fought a great victory in the south yesterday, and they defeated the regular armored forces of the Suss Empire. Many people swore that they saw with their own eyes countless quantities of seized weapons and materials being transported back to Puluo Town. Now, , many soldiers on the front line, all holding enemy guys.

Some people also say that the town of Puluo has been completely surrounded by the Seventh and Eighth Route Army of the Northern Alliance. Fighting has already begun on the front line because the bandit armored forces have broken through. Now the only ones left behind are infantry. Starting from last night, the outer positions have been closed. It was completely lost. Now we can only rely on the third ring road defense line to resist, and it is estimated that it will not last long. This news was scorned by many people. They said that although the enemy surrounded Dipuo Town, they had not yet begun to attack and shrink the defense line. It was the bandits themselves who took the initiative to retreat in order to maintain the strength of the defense.

There is also news that some people in Central City heard the sound of artillery fire in the Northern Alliance defense area all night long, and the sound of troop mobilization. Some people even saw injured soldiers from the Northern Alliance covered in blood being loaded into ambulance mechas and being beaten. The dead people were lined up in a line that was several miles long, and it was impossible to count them. It is said that it was done by the bandits, which is called tit for tat.

Good news and bad news are spreading among the people of Puluo Town. No one can figure out whether these messages are true or false. People can only pray that the bandit army can keep the ferocious enemy from the defense line of Puluo Town. I pray that I and my family will not become a cold corpse in this troubled world.

The rain was pouring down, and the traffic lights on the street were changing desertedly.

The sound of gunfire in the distance seemed to be much denser.

An ugly black mecha rolled over on the muddy ground and hid its body behind the remains of a red mecha on the slope. Several energy cannonballs almost brushed past its body. Near or far, there were explosions one after another. The explosion opened several large holes in the soil slope, and the wet mud splashed out, hitting the cold and hard external armor of the mecha. Immediately, much of it was washed away by the heavy rain.

The hills and plains around Xiaopo were already boiling in the flames of war. Countless cannonballs fell to the ground, and the wet soil mixed with broken branches and leaves rose into the sky amidst the explosions, rolling and crackling as they fell. It was like a mud rain. The muddy water on the ground, covered with foamy blood, flowed towards the big hole made by the shell, and pooled at the bottom of the pit.

At a glance from the hillside, countless mechas were firing at each other. Red, black, and billowing steel torrents were galloping back and forth on the battlefield, strangling each other. The staggered energy cannons were as dense as fishing nets, and the screaming mecha missiles were scurrying around the battlefield. The ground was full of burning mecha remains, and even in the pouring rain, the blazing flames were still roaring. Black smoke billowed out.

"Three companies and seven platoons have arrived at the designated position."

In the muddy mecha, the young mecha warrior opened his bloodshot eyes and reported the situation through the communicator. Behind him, more than forty identical black mechas were passing through the wreckage-strewn plains one after another, dodging the raindrops of artillery fire, and fell one after another at the foot of the hillside at a height of forty to fifty meters.

Black mechas covered in mud and scars, with tired and excited faces. Blue uniform. Bandit word military standard. This is the SM Third Regiment of the local bandits led by Markovich.

At five o'clock in the morning, Markovich led the bandit SM 3rd Regiment 87 kilometers southwest of Puluo Town. Near the Breslau Farm, 125 kilometers east of the Lorenzo River, an attack was launched on the 6th Armored Battalion and 7th Armored Battalion of the Northern Alliance Blood Shadow Mecha Regiment traveling along the interregional highway.

The first to launch the attack was the third battalion commanded by Baz. They launched from the flank and quickly captured an armored company in front of the Northern Alliance.

The battle between the two sides entered a white-hot state almost from the first second it started.

The Northern Alliance armored units, organized as company-level units and scattered on the interregional roads and plains on both flanks, suffered heavy losses in the first wave of bandit attacks. The two armored battalions were cut apart, and the leading company and the convoy in the middle of the team suffered devastating blows. The entire Northern Alliance armored force was blocked in a hilly area fifteen kilometers long and five kilometers wide. .

However, after withstanding the first round of attacks by the bandits, the two Northern Alliance armored battalions, which were obviously mentally prepared for the attack, began to move closer in a planned manner, gradually shrinking their formations and seizing the surrounding commanding heights.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and the transition between offense and defense was extremely rapid. Often when the bandits have just reached a breakthrough and before they have time to break up and divide, the Northern Alliance will desperately try to block the torn formation again. The several commanding heights that the Northern League had just attempted to occupy during their retreat were all defeated by the bandits.

When the two companies of the 1st Armored Battalion led by Cozmo completed a large-scale outflank on the left along a tributary of the Lourenço River and on the right in the hilly area east of Breslau Farm. The Northern Alliance armored battalion, which had lost nearly two hundred mechas, finally retreated to the No. 3 fruit industry area of ​​the Breslau Farm. It took advantage of the bandit army's two-wing encirclement to seize the opportunity to seize several areas east of the fruit industry area. On the top of a hill, a ring-shaped blocking position was established, trying to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

Then, it’s a tough battle. This dozen lasted for two full hours!

At the foot of the hillside, mechas that were so dirty that no color could be seen were lying down in the mud in rows.

The surrounding hills and flats of more than ten square kilometers are filled with fleeting explosions of light. The night has passed. In the early morning glow, this land has no trace of fresh air. The soldiers' gradually broadening vision is crowded with people. There were burning mecha wreckage and billowing black smoke.

After traveling all night and fighting for two hours, these bandit mecha warriors were almost exhausted.

If you could close your eyes at this moment, I'm afraid no one would want to stand up again.

No one dared to close their eyes. The soldiers knew that the battle had reached its most critical moment.

The two besieged Northern Alliance armored battalions were at the end of their rope. At most, only one-third of them were still holding on, gasping for air. The rest were already reduced to wreckage all over the ground. As long as you exert more force, you can completely annihilate it.

The artillery fire from the northeast became more and more fierce. It was the other two Northern Alliance armored battalions that arrived more than 40 minutes ago. They were launching an attack on the defense line of the 2nd Battalion commanded by Wetherill in an attempt to rescue the surrounded Northern Alliance armored battalions. Allied troops. If we relax a little at this time, the enemy who keeps launching breakthroughs will probably jump out of the encirclement.

Staring with bloodshot eyes, the soldiers waited for orders. Up to this point in the war, it has nothing to do with the outcome. What matters is the result of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign by the bandits. It is the lives of more than two million people in Puluo Town, and the massacre of 21,368 people. The blood debt of refugees!

At first, when they heard this statistic reported by the base, few people dared to believe it. As members of this world, the warriors never imagined that someone with the same birth and experience as them could carry out such a vicious attack on innocent civilians. On the statistical map sent by the base, it was a red dot on a large piece of land.

But now, those red spots have disappeared. Instead, there was blood soaking the land.

That’s more than 20,000 lives! From birth to growing up...each of them owns a world! They're just hiding away, they're not a threat to anyone! How could they kill these scumbags from the Northern League? !

Can the free world really only always be a dark area where the weak and the strong prey on each other, isolated from mainstream human society?

The young mecha warriors listened to the explosion that shook the earth, and looked back at the vast land behind them... They ran all the way from there, fighting all the way.

The armored regiment sent by the Suss Empire fell in front of the SM 3rd Regiment that went out for the first time. Now, it’s the turn of the Blood Shadow Mecha Group, known as the Soul of the Northern Alliance!

The enemy is the most powerful force in the Northern Alliance and has received secret training for many years. Before the genre war broke out, no one even knew this army existed! However, in just one month, they made a name for themselves in dozens of major and minor battles that the Northern Alliance swept across the free world!

Without the energy weapon system, the red gusts they drove looked down upon the most elite main forces of the three major factions. But with the energy weapon system, they didn't even look down on Suss's regular elite troops!

Puluo Town is facing a six-way encirclement by the Northern League. Excluding the Suss Armored Regiment that was defeated last night, there are still five lines. For the genre mutual aid alliance in the cradle, this is almost a desperate situation!

Fatty Sir, pointed out a road that was not a road. If you want to survive, you must fight the 226 kilometers of the Third Ring Road in Puluo Town under the siege of the enemy! Lasted thirty-six hours!

Looking to the west, the sky over Puluo Town was already filled with white light. The enemy has begun to attack the defense line of Puluo Town. There is not much time left for the three groups!

All eyes and all hopes are on this team!

"Go!" The platoon leader who ended the call waved his hand, and the mecha warriors jumped up. More than forty mechas dispersed, rushed down the hillside, across the plains, and rushed towards the enemy's defense line.

Shells exploded around them, and the enemy's artillery fire on the opposite ridge became fierce again.
