Counterfeit Hero

The sound of gunfire was like rolling thunder, endless. The sky seemed to be obscured by gunpowder smoke. Looking out from the observation post in the bunker, I could only see a series of flashes of light in the gray-brown sky. The earth was shaking violently without stopping, and in the gaps between the explosion-proof shelters, mud and sand fell straight down.

"Are you timid about him?" Sophie looked at the girl in front of her intently.

The girl was wearing a one-piece combat uniform, her graceful figure was wrapped in tight elastic material, and she was wearing a white research uniform. She sat quietly in front of her, resting her chin on her hands. The deafening noise didn't seem to affect her at all. Even Sophie felt a little jealous of that pretty face. That was the innocence she could only have ten years ago.

Milan is a very nice name.

She was also from Leray, and was the girlfriend of Major General Leray who led the death camp to divert the enemy.

I heard that Milan came here before Major General Tian. Because of her work, she has been doing research at the military academy in Hanking, the capital of Chakna. Unexpectedly, when he came to Canglang Planet to do a test, he happened to be attacked by Yuuto Mikami.

Following the 13th Armored Division, they fled all the way to the mountains beside the Karachi River. They were already at the end of their rope. Who knew that the arrival of Major General Tian would make the entire army survive, and naturally, Milan was also rescued.

This is a beautiful story. A pair of lovers thousands of miles apart came together on the same planet because of different missions. When the princess was in trouble, the prince fell from the sky and saved the princess... Although it was a bit cliché, it was very touching. Well, it's just that Major General Tian seemed to have fallen off an armed merchant ship.

In the bunker, there are basically non-combatants. The scientific researchers wearing research uniforms continued to be busy, turning back from time to time and looking worriedly at Milan, who was sitting quietly on the empty ammunition box and the medicine box in a daze. Felike held a camera and filmed the scene outside through the observation hole. When the enemy's artillery fire ends, he will go to the front line to shoot more realistic and close-up battles. This old man has been assimilated by this army and this war. It's hard to imagine that when he returns to his recording studio, he will not be able to regain his previous composure.

Sophie looked into Milan's eyes carefully. They were beautiful eyes, but now they looked a little hollow.

"If it were my lover who went on the mission, maybe I would be like her..." Sophie wanted to understand Milan's feelings so much that she suddenly wanted to fall in love and find someone she could care about. In this cruel war, this is the most beautiful thing.

"He'll be back."

Sophie held Milan's cold hand with her hand, feeling a little sad. She originally wanted to produce a program to record the true life and emotions of the couple during this war, but now she feels that using the camera is a cruel move. If that Major General Tian can't come back...

"I know."

Milan's clear voice rang in Sophie's ears.

"What..." Sophie asked subconsciously, not expecting Milan to speak.

"I know!" Milan's voice was very clear. She looked at Sophie and said firmly: "I know he will come back!"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Sophie was in a daze.

As the top general of the Military Propaganda Department, she has dealt with countless people and has already developed the ability to observe people's actions. There are very few people who can lie in front of her and deceive her, and there are also very few people who will not let her dig into the other party's bottom line when their confidence is low.

Just looking into Milan's eyes, she knew that what the girl said was true.

Sophie didn't ask why, she believed the girl immediately. Although she knew that that battle would be ten times more brutal than the battle in this small town, even though she knew that an armored battalion with only more than 500 mechas would face an attack by an entire division. However, she somehow gained confidence in her heart.

If that team can complete the task under almost impossible circumstances and allow the main force to build this huge position here without interference, then they will definitely come back!

This is a pair of lovers from the Leray Federation.

From 2059 to now, they have been playing for four full years. Faced with Gacharin, faced with Desik, faced with Suss and Jiepen... the people of this country have always been fighters, never giving up, and never being conquered.

Sophie picked up the camera: "Can I?"

Milan nodded. She liked this mature, beautiful and considerate battlefield and remembered: "Of course."

"He will come back!" Felic, who had been standing by the observation hole, suddenly said this at this time. His voice was recorded in the scene that just appeared.

The two girls looked at each other and smiled. The sound of gunfire outside seemed no longer deafening.

***************************************

There is no doubt that in late October 2063, the entire world's attention was focused on the Lesk Galaxy.

At Lei Fengxing, the Eastern Theater Army under the command of Chamberlin changed its previous huddled defensive tactics and launched a full-scale attack against the Soviet-Japanese coalition forces. In the sky, although the Chamberlin Fleet and Li Hongwu Fleet cannot fully compete with Mikami Yuuto, they also have the strength to deal with Mikami Yuuto on Lei Feng Star and Canglang Star at the same time.

In their respective countries, the armies of the Suss Empire and the Jiepen Empire have been activated and are gathering towards the Lesk system. A steady stream of land forces were transported to the border of the jumping point through huge fleets. With the support of Mikami Yuuto's fleet, they were put into the Lesk battlefield in batches.

In Chakna, President Hill delivered a televised speech, calling on all people across the country to unite and win the war at all costs. The president's speech revealed only one message from beginning to end - Chakna will no longer shrink or hesitate, and everything will make way for winning this battle. The military will receive the strongest support ever!

The president's speech made the entire Chakna feel high-spirited.

This country, second only to the two major superpowers, once fully activated, its explosive power is astonishing. Countless troops are gathering, and countless supplies are gathering. The people of Chakna can clearly feel that this country is running crazily with the Battle of Resk as the center.

The public's attention was completely focused on Reske.

In addition to various government announcements, gossip, and news, what everyone is most looking forward to is the battlefield report from Feleke from the front line.

That is the truest front line.

Perhaps it was too deeply affected by the report in the first issue, or perhaps the fact that old Marshal Li Cunxin was still alive and leading two divisions to fight against the Jiepen people and playing a huge role at critical moments was too legendary, and everyone was Unconsciously, this unit was regarded as the protagonist of the entire Lesk battle. .

People are eagerly awaiting any news about this unit.

On October 22, news came from the front line that the second batch of landing troops had successfully landed. This news brought joy to the people. This means that the first phase of the landing was successful. Moreover, well-informed people also heard that the Allies were about to win a major victory at Resque. It is said that this victory will be a major turning point at the beginning of the war, which will shorten the entire process of the war and will also allow many Chakna warriors to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

Exciting news always spreads faster than bad news. People are anxiously waiting for the start of Feleke's battlefield report program at 8 p.m. Perhaps, we can get more information from Felike's frontline reports.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when everyone was watching the TV, the first thing they saw was that of Felek, who had become thinner and had a beard on his chin, but looked more shrewd and capable than before.

The first thing he said when he stood up was, "I may be breaking my promise."

In astonishment, the audience watched silently as their most trusted true recorder slowly said with a serious expression: "I once promised that all the scenes in this program will be from my camera. However, in the past few days, Here, what I experienced forced me to break my promise - I had to use the military's recorded footage, because I had to pay attention to a battle that I was paying attention to all the time but could not record it personally, and put it into Dedicated to you.”

"This is a great battle," Felic raised his chin slightly, which was his customary move whenever he needed to express an undoubted fact in the strongest possible tone.

"This battle is still ongoing. Its final outcome makes every one of us worried about it. My report may be a few or ten or twenty hours behind what is happening now. I will use military records that I don’t want to use. But I believe that this will be the best program I have ever done. Let us first remember these names...Avery, Jenkins, Jiang Hao, South Korea, Li Weiguo..."

The list was very long, and Ferek read it out one by one solemnly, as if he had no idea that he was doing a program that made people anxious.

However, although this was very different from his usual style, no one in the audience felt impatient about it. They listened to Felike's voice quietly and looked at the names that appeared on the screen one by one. Many of them had black borders added. Everyone knows that this border represents death.

Although the list is long, it will eventually be finished. Felike put down the folder in his hand, looked at the screen, and said slowly: "Now, let's go back to the moment when our warriors appeared."

The picture begins to change.

The dawn sun shines on the hills and mountains. The voice of old Marshal Li Cunxin appeared in everyone's ears.

"...Chuckna is no coward, and those who are willing to follow Major General Tian, ​​come out!"

The audience stared blankly at the rows of people on the hills and beside the woods, taking a step forward in order. That's not walking in a queue, that's synchronicity where everyone takes a step without hesitation. Their steps vary in size, and after one step, the entire queue looks a little skewed. However, these warriors at this time seemed to have a kind of majesty that made people look up to them.

On the screen, there was the trembling and proud voice of Marshal Li Cunxin. He said that those were his soldiers and he was proud of them.

Next, is the roll call.

A list that was exactly the same as the one Felike had read before.

The whole world fell silent. Looking at the figures walking out of the queue one by one, and recalling the black border on the previous list, all the viewers knew what happened.

"Follow my lens," Felike said at last: "Let us follow them. Follow our heroes. And let every audience watching this show pray for the soldiers who are still uncertain about their life or death at this moment..."

. This chapter was very difficult to write. I thought about it for a long time and repeatedly interspersed descriptions of angles on the paper. It takes three times as long to think about as it does to write. .
