Chapter 573: Chapter 357: Breaching the Kerimu Defense Line_2 Chapter 573: Chapter 357: Breaching the Kerimu Defense Line_2 During the march, the 4 doors of 20mm machine guns and 8 strands of 12.7mm heavy machine guns opened fire in succession,
the Spider Mecha instantly became a porcupine that poured a constant barrage of bullets, tearing apart the bodies of one Siamese Soldier after another, accompanied by the main gun’s occasional booming fire, annihilating everything with terrifying firepower.

In just a short confrontation, this infantry division with over five thousand men had been smashed by the Mechanical Army.

Encountering Spider Mechas on the vast plains, even armored torrents could be blown apart, let alone these infantry divisions primarily composed of infantry, the battle was a one-sided slaughter.

In less than half an hour, this infantry division had been annihilated by the Mechanical Army.

After a brief resupply of ammunition, the Mechanical Army set off again, destroying one organized enemy force after another based on targets identified by the air force.

These forces that had escaped from the Kerimu Defense Line had no trenches or fortifications on the plains and faced annihilation when encountering the Mechanical Army–no need to say more.

The entire rear of the Kerimu Defense Line plunged into complete despair as the Mechanical Army launched its surprise attack.

Because the highways and bridges were bombed, and Jieke Group maintained air superiority, the attempts by the Siamese Army to flee could hardly escape the notice of the Jieke Group. They either suffered air raids and bombings or were subjected to the devastating blitz of the Mechanical Army.

Later, Jieke Group even deployed a portion of Genetic Warriors and Super Soldiers by helicopters and small-scale paratrooper drops, to encircle and block the scattered Siamese Soldiers who had lost their units.

Spider Mechas wouldn’t be deployed for just a few soldiers, but such numbers of soldiers were just right for the Super Soldiers to deal with.

With air superiority and the advantage of the Mechanical Army, the plains behind the Kerimu Defense Line quickly became Jieke Group’s hunting ground.

One by one, troops were easily annihilated by Jieke Group on the plains. They could hold on for a while in fortifications, but on the plains, they were sitting ducks.

Towards the end, upon encountering Jieke Group’s Mechanical Army, these soldiers began to surrender, or they simply sat down on the spot, no longer attempting to escape, waiting to be captured by the Jieke Group.

Including those Siamese troops holding out on the Kerimu Defense Line, they had also been broken by this time.

Being discarded pieces, their morale was low; under the fierce attack of the Jieke Group, they surrendered in droves, emerging from their covers with hands held high overhead, unwilling to sacrifice themselves in futile resistance.

In only two and a half days, with the Mechanical Army that had successfully attacked from the Bilao Mountain Range blocking the rear of the Kerimu Defense Line, the forces of Siam, An Nan, Zhenla, and Lancang that were dead or surrendered, this Kerimu Defense Line was thus breached by the Jieke Group.

The attack and defense battle of the Kerimu Defense Line began at 9:01 AM on January 24, 2025. Jieke Group successively deployed 3 Mechanical Combat Brigades as the main assault force, along with 2 heavy composite brigades, 2 medium-sized composite brigades, 4 light composite brigades, as well as 7 infantry divisions, 2 motorized infantry divisions, and 1 engineering division, and tore through the Siamese Six Army Groups of 350,000 men in the Kerimu Defense Line like a hot knife through butter.

Jieke Group’s Mechanical Army and the Air Force composed the rapid deep penetration force, which swiftly tore apart, encircled, swept, and annihilated the outdated and vast Siamese Four Countries Army.

By February 1st, the Kerimu campaign had come to an end with the Siamese Four Countries Army suffering a total of 163,000 killed, 172,000 captured including the wounded.

Jieke Group’s own casualties were just over 3,000, of which 732 were killed, 2259 were wounded in battle, and 43 died from non-combat related causes.

Such an exaggerated casualty ratio was naturally thanks to the meritorious achievements of Jieke Group’s Mechanical Army, which, through coordinated new-style mechanized infantry’s Lightning War tactics, consumed this astonishingly large enemy force.

Compared to the past when Germany used Lightning War tactics against Poland with a casualty ratio of 1:30, Jieke Group’s achievements are undoubtedly more remarkable, with a casualty ratio reaching 1:110.

Thus, with the Siamese Four Countries Army stationed at the Kerimu Defense Line wiped out in one battle, only more than 10,000 remnants managed to escape the encirclement, but it was too late to make a difference.

…..

As expected, Jieke Group took only a week to break through the Kerimu Defense Line, which was over three hundred kilometers deep, and surrounded and annihilated 340,000 troops, with only a little over ten thousand fortunate enough to escape.

When this news was revealed by the media and Jieke Group held a press conference to announce this good news to the world, the whole world was shocked.

Although the military forces of these Southeast Asian countries like Siam were somewhat inferior, Jieke Group’s amazing casualty ratio and the astonishing results of encirclement and annihilation, the deployment of various new equipment and tactics, all left people in awe and astonished.

‘Shit, this can’t be fake news right? Just a week of grinding ranks and not paying much attention to the news, and Jieke Group has charged through the Kerimu Defense Line and encircled and eradicated and captured 340,000 people? This news is a bit too exaggerated.’
‘Oh my God! Have you guys noticed Jieke Group’s tactics and new equipment on the Kerimu battlefield, using Genetic Warriors and Super Soldiers in combination with large Mechas for combat support, is just like the new era of armored assault tactics. Thanks to this, Jieke Group has pulled off an incredibly smooth penetration, encirclement, and Lightning War.’
‘Seeing those Scorpion Flame Sprayer Mechas, Ant-style Engineering Mechas, Bee Air Defense Mechas… these new Mechas based on the Spider Mecha chassis prove that large Mechas have great potential and the future is definitely the era of Mechas. We are witnessing a whole new military revolution, thanks to Jieke Group’s Mech wind.’
