Chapter 570: Chapter 356: Making Dumplings (Two Updates, 8000 Words) Chapter 570: Chapter 356: Making Dumplings (Two Updates, 8000 Words) On January 25, Jieke Group’s First Mecha Combat Brigade broke through the Huishan Defense Line, capturing the highest point of the Kerimu Defense Line.

That same day, they moved into Lunyang City, seizing this strategic and industrial city.

On January 26, Jieke Group’s Second Mechanical Combat Brigade split up to surround and defend against the Siamese Second Army Group in the Bai Guang Plain area.

This Second Army Group consisted not only of Siamese Forces but also included An Nan’s 372nd Infantry Division, the 7th Armored Division, and the 244 Mountain Division, comprising three units in total.

The entire Siamese Second Army Group, numbering over 70,000, was deeply encircled by Jieke Group’s Mechanical Army, in coordination with two of Jieke Group’s Heavy Composite Brigades, four Light Composite Brigades, and six Infantry Divisions, forming a massive encirclement of over a hundred kilometers.

Jieke Group deployed a total force of 120,000, achieving the essence of Lightning War by overwhelming with superior numbers and annihilating the enemy in mobile warfare, leaving them unable to react or reinforce.

On January 27, Jieke Group launched an encirclement attack on the Siamese Second Army Group within the circle. Armored forces led by mecha stormed in irresistibly, ripping through their defenses and leaving the corpses of Siamese and An Nan troops scattered everywhere. It took two days to completely annihilate this force.

On January 29, the Third Mecha Combat Brigade advanced towards the eastern direction of the Kerimu Defense Line, pushing forward to Siam Bay, cutting off the Siamese’s hopes of resupplying the Kerimu Defense Line by sea.

Every day, new battle reports arrived, with the Kerimu Defense Line under severe threat from Jieke Group’s offensive.

…

As Jieke Group charged vigorously forward, within a command observation room, military observers from Western countries watched the satellite relayed images, the atmosphere extremely tense.

A military observer from the Beautiful Country, Ni Mison, sat stiffly in his seat, the screen in front of him displaying battlefield imagery relayed by satellite.

The breakthroughs by the Spider Mecha were utterly ruthless, coordinating with the heavy infantry for a shockingly rapid advance.

“It seems very difficult to hold the Kerimu Defense Line, even using all available forces, they couldn’t stop those mecha from advancing.”

Ni Mison offered a bitter smile. Although the Beautiful Country wasn’t directly involved in the fighting, they provided substantial support to the Siamese Forces.

Not to mention the provision of various weapons and logistical aid. On the battlefield, satellite reconnaissance intelligence from the Beautiful Country was shared with Siam.

For example, when Siamese artillery fired, given the lack of air superiority and the inability to launch reconnaissance aircraft and high-altitude drones, their striking accuracy relied entirely on information from the Beautiful Country’s satellites.

Without high-resolution military reconnaissance satellites of their own and with drones ineffective due to loss of air superiority, and many radars destroyed in air raids, Siam was practically blind.

Without the help of the Beautiful Country, they could only determine firing positions based on reports from the front lines, and given the insufficient training of Siamese artillery, their effectiveness and flexibility were much worse.

Unfortunately, even with satellite intelligence support, the Kerimu Defense Line was in disarray.

The defenses, which had seemed as solid as rock before the war, were continuously broken through by Jieke Group’s coordinated mecha and infantry attacks.

“Unexpectedly, Jieke Group brought Genetic Warriors and Super Soldiers to coordinate with the mecha in combat, also converting the chassis of Spider Mecha into many new types of large mecha; otherwise, our defenses wouldn’t have been breached so quickly.”

A military observer from the Great British Empire, Lamb, sighed. It wasn’t that their defenses weren’t strong enough; it was that the variety and the power of Jieke Group’s revamped large mecha were unexpectedly formidable.

“It’s really surprising, combining large mecha with heavy infantry for joint operations, Jieke Group is fighting a new era Lightning War!”

The German military observer Orasio pondered thoughtfully, his gaze fixed on the battlefield imagery transmitted by satellite. Over these days, Jieke Group’s innovative tactics had caught his attention.

Germany had little stake in Siam; he was here to see what new military tactics would emerge from Jieke Group, and they certainly didn’t disappoint him.

Initially, Orasio thought that under the modern military system, it was no longer feasible to employ World War II-style massed armor blitzkriegs, relying on mobility for lightning attacks and deep encirclements.

However, through this war, Jieke Group showed him that it wasn’t that Lightning War tactics were outdated, but that modern military equipment needed innovation. Clearly, in this era of mecha military transformation, Jieke Group was leading the world.

“Wait, wait, what was that, magnify the satellite, go back to the last footage.”

Suddenly, Orasio seemed to spot something, his eyes widening.

As the satellite reconnaissance image zoomed in, a startling sight entered Orasio’s view.

He saw a force of mecha appearing in a mountain range, all being Spider Mecha, climbing over mountains with their massive metal legs inserted into rocky crevices.

“Gentlemen, it appears Siam is in great trouble.”

Orasio noted the location displayed on the satellite map, quickly sketched on a map, and then looked up excitedly.

“There’s a force of mecha from Jieke Group, their direction of movement is to break through the Bilao Mountain Range. Not far past here is the retreat route of the Kerimu Defense Line; they are planning to completely encircle the Siamese Four Countries’ army.”
