Chapter XVII

On the virtual image of the battlefield in the lobby of the War Department, the red arrows representing the Gachalin Empire are constantly attacking several key heights of Mount Garro, while the blue defensive line representing the Federation of Lelei is crumbling under the onslaught of enemy ground.

Mount Garo, the frontier position west of Cato, has become hell, and countless artillery fires have been poured on this mountain range, which is only more than 600 square kilometers in circumference, and several important highlands have been cut off by twenty or thirty meters.

In the stealth command room, less than 10 kilometers away from the front line of Mount Garro, General Blatter, the former commander of the General Staff of Miro, who personally supervised the formation, was looking at the electronic sand table with a solemn face.

He had already sent two fully mechanized infantry divisions to the D1 heights of Garro Hill one after another, which were the main divisions of the full formation, but the calls for help from the front line were still coming one after another, the only difference was that the people who asked for help before had been killed, and the people who supported later continued to call for help.

Not a single person from the fully mechanized infantry division originally stationed on Heights D1 was able to withdraw alive, and all of them died in battle.

This battle is too bitter and too evil!

The bunkers on Heights D1 have been razed, and the two divisions that have been supplemented have gone up with temporary fortifications, how can such fortifications withstand the enemy's artillery fire, the only thing that can be won is the time for the soldiers to dig new fortifications with sapper mechanical arms.

How many reserves are you going to send up? The Garchalin Empire's almost endless frenzied assault on D1 Heights, their losses were greater than those of the Federation, but the Empire's commanders seemed to have made up their minds to take the key point that crossed the Garo Mountains and bypassed the Katos Gorge.

The location of D1 Heights is located in the front part of the left defense line of the Garo Mountain Theater, the whole Heights is like a pyramid that has been cut off in half, and the position close to the enemy is a relatively steep rock wall, whether it is infantry or mecha, if you want to attack this Heights, the first thing you will face is a cliff close to 80 degrees. Therefore, this high ground has become a fangs on the enemy's offensive line, which can strike at the enemy condescendingly at any time, and thus has become the target of the emperor's main attack.

To Admiral Blatter's annoyance, the fire support system was no longer functioning normally, and six self-propelled artillery regiments had been destroyed by enemy anti-cover artillery fire, four of which were directly subordinate artillery regiments of the fully mechanized infantry division that pulled up the D1 heights, and two were reserve support artillery regiments of the Garo Hill front command, and the direct cause of the destruction of these artillery regiments was that the Skynet system had been basically paralyzed in an unprecedented high-intensity electronic warfare.

Self-propelled artillery is actually a simplified version of a mecha, the super-large caliber gun is mounted on an anti-joint mechanical leg, can walk on various terrains, and the ability to hide and deploy is much higher than the previous tracked self-propelled gun, which is a fire support system in a mechanized infantry division, under the coverage of the Skynet system, this artillery will continue to carry out accurate fire coverage according to the coordinates transmitted by the Skynet system.

However, the electronic warfare that has never stopped since the start of the war has completely failed the Skynet systems of both sides, and no system can survive such a high-intensity electronic warfare.

On the modern battlefield, whether in space or on the ground, electronic warfare is the first to be carried out, which is a smokeless war aimed at destroying the enemy's communications, command, battlefield monitoring, firepower distribution, strike positioning, and other systems.

In fact, modern electronic warfare has covered super warfare in terms of electronic transmission, optical images, signal deception, simulated forces, camouflage and concealment, attack feints, etc., and the means of attack used are also becoming more and more numerous, in addition to the basic powerful interference, there are also virus infections, system intrusions, program vulnerabilities, laser blinding, signal disruption, information infiltration, microwave radiation, pulse attacks, targeted violent destruction by special individual soldiers, etc., and the new electronic attack equipment is also said to be advanced. The attack range is greater and the intensity is more intense.

The strength of the electronic warfare of both sides in the war determines the general direction of the war; once the electronic warfare fails, the combat units will suffer huge losses, and they will not be able to locate the enemy, nor can they accurately carry out fire support, and the communication and command systems will all fail, and they can only use the most primitive battlefield communications, and the firepower points responsible for fire support will be exposed as soon as they are fired, and then knocked out after the enemy's Skynet command is discovered one by one.

Now that's it, the electronic warfare of both sides is evenly matched, and without the guidance of Skynet, self-propelled artillery regiments can only rely on the command of primitive front-line fire observation for artillery coverage.

The entire Garo Mountain has become a huge battlefield with nowhere to hide, and the self-propelled guns are completely ineffective in their habitual mobile shooting, and besides, the front line really needs fire support too much, and without the command of Skynet, the accuracy of shooting on the move is not high, and even the speed and density of fire coverage cannot meet the requirements. So, both sides are now basically fighting over who has more artillery, and one after another self-propelled artillery regiments of both sides are destroyed after the fire is exposed.

Not only the D1 heights, but the loss of the entire Garo Hill theater has reached the psychological bottom line of Admiral Blatter, he looked at the electronic sand table, and tried to check the data on the deployment of enemy troops on the intelligence, he didn't know how long his remaining reserves could last, the prepared fire support had been reduced to the lowest limit, and there were not a few armored divisions left, and the fully mechanized infantry division would be disabled as soon as it was pulled up, if such an attack continued for another day, he could only apply to Bernadotte for the transfer of defensive forces from other places.

But, do you dare to pull out? Even if you dare, where will you be transferred? The entire west of Cato has been completely mired in a meat grinder-style battle, and no one dares to pull out.

In addition to Gariparan, the troops in other places are basically very tight, even if they are withdrawn, it will take two days from the extraction and assembly, transportation, and finally into battle, and the only thing that does not need to take too much time is the garrison troops of Gariparan, but if these troops are withdrawn, what if there is a mistake?

The most unsettling thing is that no one knows what the emperor [***] has planned to launch such a sudden general offensive campaign! Is it really just to open the road to Cato, and then fight another bloody battle with the Federation of Leres in Cato to compete for the huge strategic space east of Cato?

Although Blatter knew that in addition to Mount Garo, there were several ways to attack Cato, the reason why the Empire stormed Mount Garo was because the other routes were also heavily guarded, and there were three federal army military bases and two air bases in Mount Garo and the Katos Gorge behind it, and these forces could go anywhere at will on the terrain behind Mount Garo, and the Emperor [***] team in depth was easily divided and surrounded.

However, such an attack is obviously not cost-effective, intelligence shows that Russell, a famous general of the Empire, has personally arrived on the planet Milok to direct the ground battle, and with Russell's command skills, he will not launch such an attack without the advantage of the Imperial Army.

Blatter had to plan ahead and could not come up with an answer, sending the situation to the general headquarters of Gariparan, hoping to find a solution to the defense of Garo Hill and see the enemy's hidden intentions.

There is only one day.
