Chapter 563: Chapter 352: Step by Step Coordination, No, It’s Infantry and Mechanized Coordination (Two updates of eight thousand characters, asking for monthly tickets)

9 AM the next morning!

The Jieke Group formally launched the Kerimu Defense Line Campaign, and with soaring morale, they began with artillery, the king of war, to break the silence of the defense line.

Deployed at the frontline of the defense were three artillery brigades, plus the divisional artillery belonging to the Jieke Group, assembling a total of four hundred cannons with calibers of 100 mm and above, along with a large number of multi-tube rocket launchers.

The thunderous artillery fire echoed through the earth, soil was upturned, and fortifications crumbled.

Siam Soldiers could only open their mouths wide, shivering in the trenches and tunnels.

From time to time, shells fell into the trenches, even collapsing the bomb shelters carved into the trench walls, scattering human limbs mixed with soil all around.

Since they dominated the airspace, Jieke Group frequently deployed combat aircraft, leaving the Siam on the Kerimu Defense Line no choice but to endure the bombings. Any hidden artillery that retaliated would be taught a harsh lesson by the aircraft overhead.

The intense artillery continued for two hours, until 11 AM, when the massive bombardment ceased.

The main purpose of this bombardment was not actually to kill the Siam ground forces, but rather to clear the anti-infantry and anti-tank mines buried before the Kerimu Defense Line.

A large number of multi-tube rocket launchers carpet-bombed these minefields, clearing them out. The buried mines were detonated, blasting multiple safe pathways for the attack.

Once the bombardment ended, the ground forces began to enter the defense line.

Leading the charge, naturally, was the Mechanical Combat Brigade.

The Jieke Group now had three Mechanical Combat Brigades, with over three hundred large combat mechas, a portion of which were new models modified from the chassis of Spider Main Battle Mechas.

Hao Guang, the commander of the First Mecha Combat Brigade, personally appeared on the front line, driving his mecha and releasing three scout Eye Worms to observe the opposing defense layout.

The terrain of Chumphon Province mainly consists of plains and hills, with the Siamese Army building concrete barricades, digging trenches, and setting up coils of barbed wire at the battlefield frontline.

Under guidance from the Beautiful Country, each of these trenches was reinforced with geotextiles, and they featured defense installations, underground shelters, and firing positions built with concrete.

Compared to the previous defense lines breached by the Jieke Group, Siam had put considerable effort into the current Kerimu Defense Line, gathering their more capable forces here. They clearly couldn’t afford to lose Chumphon Province and were determined to defend it at all costs.

“They really put their heart into this.”

Hao Guang muttered to himself. Though this defense line was robust and extensively laid out, he still felt confident.

“All mechas, move in units and rely on mutual cover for the attack.”

Having issued the combat order, the ground began to tremble slightly as numerous Main Battle Mechas took strides with their giant metallic legs, each maintaining hundreds of meters of spacing, rushing towards the enemy.

…

In an anti-bombing shelter within a trench, a group of An Nan and Siam Soldiers were hiding from the artillery fire.

The Siam Soldiers were mostly pale and tense, constantly praying to Buddha for protection.

Meanwhile, the An Nan soldiers displayed a different demeanor; though also very nervous, their condition was significantly better than that of the Siam Soldiers.

“Look at you, it’s just artillery fire. We’re safe here. Even if the Jieke Group has numerous shells, they can’t possibly overturn all the soil here. I don’t know what you’re scared of.”

Ruan Chengfu held a cigarette in his mouth, wearing an An Nan Uniform covered in dust, unaffected by the artillery fire occasionally falling above, causing dirt and dust to shake off the ceiling of the shelter, making him look dirty. Still, he scorned the fearful appearance of these Siam Soldiers.

“What’s safe about here? After the shelling, the attack will begin. Our enemy isn’t even human.”

A young Siam soldier, shivering uncontrollably and full of fear, spoke out.

He was a retreated Siam soldier from the frontline, regrouped here and mixed with An Nan soldiers to man this area.

“What’s up? Do the Jieke Group’s soldiers have three heads and six arms? Don’t they die just the same when hit by a bullet?”

Ruan Chengfu disdainfully blew a ring of smoke, thinking these Siam Soldiers were of no use, already terrified by the Jieke Group.

“Brother, why bother talking so much with these cowards? We’ll show them how to fight in a bit.”

Ruan Chengli, Ruan Chengfu’s younger brother, also spoke, standing on the same line as his brother.

“If it were us facing the Jieke Group, they wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.”

Li Junmin, a friend of Ruan Chengfu and another An Nan soldier, added, leaning on a rocket launcher with great confidence.

“You’ve never faced the Sharp Knife Company of the Jieke Group. Those people are all First-class Super Soldiers, with sharp shooting and quick reflexes. Often, you don’t even see them before you’re inexplicably dead.”

A Siam Soldier couldn’t help but retort, believing these An Nan Soldiers were too optimistic.

“Heh, that’s you guys. Our ancestors fought so many wars, even drove away the Beautiful Country, what’s the Jieke Group compared to that?”

Ruan Chengfu, who grew up listening to his forefathers’ stories of resisting the Beautiful Country and always yearning for war, had little respect for the cowardly Siam Soldiers.

During the conversation, he suddenly realized something.

“It seems like there hasn’t been any artillery shell falling for a while.”

Not long after he said this, an officer received an order.

“Quick, go out and defend, the Jieke Group is charging up.”

Inside the anti-artillery bunker of the trench, Siamese officers cursed as they drove the soldiers out of the bunker.

As the Siamese and An Nan soldiers popped their heads out of the trench, what they saw was a sight that shattered their courage.

Rows of Spider Mechas appeared at the horizon, those towering over ten meters tall and weighing hundreds of tons, resembled doomsday behemoths, emitting an overwhelming aura of death.

Ruan Chengfu swallowed hard, his hands and feet quivering slightly, a baseless terror swept over his body and mind, instantly dispelling his earlier bold rhetoric.

Every soldier in the trench was shivering with fear, and some even turned pale, only knowing to hide in the corners of the trench, clutching their rifles and muttering incomprehensible words, their minds on the verge of collapse.

“Aim with the Single Soldier Anti-Tank Missiles, prepare the rocket artillery, and as soon as those Spider Mechas enter our range, bombard them fiercely.”

The officer launched a drone to observe, but the drone soon spiraled out of control and crashed.

However, just as the officer’s order was given, the soldiers in the trench had not yet had the chance to open fire when a burst of machine gun fire suddenly swept over.

We saw a Spider Main Battle Mecha in the front open fire, its 20mm machine gun raining down like a storm, and a few soldiers who were slow to dodge had their heads burst open like rotten melons, or their arms, barely grazed by the machine gun, were instantly blown off by the tremendous force.

Next to Ruan Chengfu’s left hand, there was an unlucky man, his head completely blown off by the machine gun, and his headless corpse fell into his arms.

From the severed neck, blood spurted out, splashing all over his head and face.

Staring blankly at the headless corpse in his arms, Ruan Chengfu, witnessing battle for the first time, felt his body stiffen, his heart rate skyrocketed to 200, his expression numb, coming face to face with the harshness of war, unlike the heroic and brave tales told by his forefathers.

Twenty-five soldiers were stationed in this segment of the trench, and in just one encounter, three were dead and two were severely wounded and lost their fighting capability.

The remaining soldiers, like startled quails, retracted their heads into the trench one after another, some screaming in fear, calling out the names of their fallen comrades, and a wounded soldier clutching his severed arm howled in pain, his screams continuously demoralizing his comrades.

Just then, a deafening boom resounded.

Another segment of their allied trench far away was engulfed in a rising fireball and smoke, a direct hit from the Spider Main Battle Mecha’s 203mm main gun.

Just one shot, and almost the entire infantry platoon stationed in that trench was wiped out, with limbs and body parts even flying into Ruan Chengfu’s trench, terrifying the soldiers there into madness.

“Quick, quick, what are you waiting for? Aim now, the enemy’s main gun fires slowly, this is our chance to strike back, fire up those Single Soldier Missiles.”

The officer started shouting to remind the soldiers to counterattack, a few approached cautiously and saw the main gun’s muzzle smoke of the Spider Main Battle Mecha gradually dissipating, its top-mounted machine guns and cannons still furiously firing, suppressing nearby trenches.

Their trench, thanks to its natural camouflage from grass and good angles with boulders and trees for cover in a semi-blind spot, seeing the Spider Main Battle Mecha hadn’t noticed them, they no longer hesitated, pulling out rocket launchers and Single Soldier Anti-Tank Missiles aiming at the Spider Mecha.

But just at that moment, a sharp-eyed soldier noticed something falling from the top of that Spider Mecha.

Bang! Bang!

Simultaneously, on the A-180 Spider Main Battle Mecha, Hao Guyu shouted, “Steel Camp brothers, it’s your combat range now, I’m letting you down.”

Having said that, he controlled the Spider Mecha to slightly crouch, and the next moment, the platoon leader of Steel Camp 3rd Platoon, Cao Yangchun, dressed in Biological Armor, jumped down from the mecha, leaving two small craters on the ground.

Several First-class Super Soldiers dressed in Alloy Battle Armor also jumped down.

“Leave it to us now, focus on suppressing enemy fire, and we’ll take care of the strays.”

Cao Yangchun laughed, his Biological Armor unleashing six tentacle-like limbs, simultaneously curling around six sniper rifles.

Having fused with Honey-eyed Worm genes, his eyes transformed into insect-like compound eyes, greatly enlarging his field of vision.

Now wearing this sniper-type Biological Armor, as soon as he landed, he aimed his rifle at the unguarded firepower locations that the Spider Main Battle Mecha had missed.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four gunshots rang out, the soldiers peeking in the trench, secretly maneuvering Single Soldier Anti-Tank Missiles and rocket launchers planning to ambush the Spider Mecha, hadn’t realized what was happening when bullet holes suddenly appeared in their heads, then they fell backwards.

The other Super Soldiers also joined the battle, holding Gatlings and heavy machine guns as heavy weapons, normal rifle bullets bounced off their Alloy Battle Armor, only heavy machine guns and Anti-Material Sniper Rifles posed a threat to penetrate the Alloy Battle Armor.

But such enemies were very obvious once they fired, and with Eye Worms conducting real-time surveillance overhead, any exposure would subject them to suppression and sweeping from the Spider Main Battle Mecha and Biological Armor.

Thus, with the Spider Main Battle Mecha at the core of the assault, a coordinated infantry-tank mission was in progress.

Only, unlike traditional coordinated missions, the tanks were replaced with Spider Main Battle Mechas, and the infantry with Genetic Warriors and First-class Super Soldiers, so accurately speaking, this was a coordinated mech-infantry combat engagement.

The Jieke Group was using their military hardware advantage and quality of soldiers to showcase a new type of armored assault force and perfect synergy with soldiers, evolving human infantry-tank tactics to perfection.
