Chapter 442 Breaking Through the Kerrimu Defense Line

After discovering the surprise attack attempt of the Jeko Group in the Bi Lao Mountains, the defenders of the four Siamese countries on the Kerim Line finally made a decision to retreat from the Kerim Line in order to avoid being surrounded.

But the problem is that retreat is not easy.

On the front of the defense line, the offensive of the Jeko Group came one after another, and the mecha troops continued to tear their defense line.

It was difficult to resist the mecha advance of the Jeko Group. Retreating meant abandoning the defense line. They could not run faster than the mecha. If they left the bunkers and fortifications, retreat would turn into a rout.

They were also unsafe behind the Kerim Line.

After discovering the unusual movement of the Siamese army and the intention to escape from the Kerim Line.

The Jeko Group, which had air superiority, took off fighter planes continuously and bombed various transportation facilities such as railways, roads, bridges, etc. in Zhuburi Province, paralyzing their transportation and logistics capabilities, making it difficult for the defenders of the Kerim Line to rely on transportation lines for a rapid retreat.

Faced with the numerous obstacles set by the Jeko Group, the Siamese military still gritted their teeth and used the means of cutting off the wrist of a hero, ordering the front-line soldiers of the Kerimu Defense Line to hold their positions, and the rear soldiers to leave the fortifications and withdraw from the Kerimu Defense Line as quickly as possible.

They wanted to sacrifice some people, abandon the soldiers to save the car, retain most of the living forces, and leave some elite soldiers for Siam.

This retreat was soon confirmed again by the Jeko Group, and the Air Force began to bomb at high intensity, which did not stop the Siamese army's determination to escape, because the Jeko Group's air force was also limited, and it was impossible to rely on the air force to kill all the enemies on the ground.

Birao Mountains!

Hao Guyu drove the A-180 mecha on a rugged mountain road.

Due to years of erosion, large pieces of rock were exposed on the mountain, and some tenacious weeds grew in the cracks on it.

In this rarely visited area with towering ridges, deep valleys, and complex and difficult mountains, a mecha unit was marching here.

Looking around, spider mechas were climbing up the mountain. The long metal legs of the spider mechas relied on their strong grip and balance to march in areas that were difficult for ordinary troops to pass through.

But the mecha troops were able to accomplish this incredible miracle. One mecha after another crossed the mountains and ridges, passed through deep trenches and mountains. When they encountered areas that were really difficult to pass, they used artillery to blast a passage, or used ant-type engineering mechas to build bridges and pave roads, allowing the mecha troops to pass smoothly.

Another mountain was crossed, and Hao Guyu suddenly felt that his vision was wide.

There was no more obstacle in front of him, and what appeared in front of him was an open plain and hilly area.

"Finally out."

Hao Guyu took a deep breath, got out of the mecha hatch, and couldn't help shouting.

He suffered a lot along the way. Although the spider mecha could cross mountains and ridges, the road conditions were so bad that the driver would never want to experience it again.

After a trip to the Birao Mountains, his spider mech was covered with all kinds of scratches, which was simply unbearable to look at.

Especially those complex terrains that caused various mechanical failures, even with the reliability of the spider mech, problems were inevitable, which took a lot of time.

If it were an ordinary armored unit, they would have to drive until the vehicle was scrapped, and they would never be able to pass through this restricted area of ​​the armored unit.

"It would be great if the air force could take me flying, climbing the mountain is too tiring."

Hao Guyu complained that if possible, he hoped that the air force could transport him across the Birao Mountains without suffering.

Unfortunately, the weight of the spider mech is there. Globally, only a few large military long-range strategic transport aircraft can do it, but such transport aircraft are treasures of various countries, and the Jeko Group cannot buy them.

"The enemy is retreating, everyone refuel and speed up to catch up."

The voice of the brigade commander Hao Guang sounded on the radio, and several locust transport mechs opened the cabin, pulled out the oil pipeline, and supplied fuel to the spider main battle mech next to them.

When all the mechas were refueled, the mecha unit set off again. Each mecha unit was still equipped with genetic warriors and super soldiers, and they rushed to the plains at full speed.

The spider mechas that were fully released could run faster than most reconnaissance armored vehicles. The area of ​​Zhuburi Province was not large. For the spider main battle mechas, it took only more than an hour for them to see the evacuated Siamese soldiers in the plains.

It was an infantry division of the Annan army. They took advantage of the night to avoid the raging fighters of the Jeko Group.

Although fighters can be deployed all day, the night will affect combat efficiency. The soldiers of their troops are well preserved.

However, this kind of luck ended after encountering the mecha unit.

After the spider main battle mechas met, they immediately formed a battle line and launched an assault on the panicked Siamese troops.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

One by one, the 203mm heavy artillery roared. In front of such heavy artillery, the human body was as fragile as straw.

When a shell landed, in the plain area without shelter, the bodies of all soldiers in the core damage circle of the shell were directly turned into minced meat by the shock wave, mixed with the flying gravel and mud, and there was no trace of human existence.

Hao Guyu took the lead, and he drove the Spider main battle mecha with great enthusiasm.

"Take the shells, little monkeys."

Hao Guyu grinned, and two 30mm machine guns fired continuously, shooting through the top cover of a main battle tank, and then turned the target and pierced through the bodies of several armored vehicles in succession, and the soldiers carried inside died tragically without having time to escape.

While marching, 4 20mm cannons and 8 12.7mm heavy machine guns fired successively.

The spider mecha immediately turned into a hedgehog that continuously poured out bullets, tearing the bodies of Siamese soldiers one by one, accompanied by the main guns roaring and firing from time to time, annihilating everything with terrifying firepower.

In just a short encounter, this infantry division with more than 5,000 people was defeated by the mecha troops.

Encountering spider mechas on the vast plains, even the armored torrents would be blown up, not to mention these infantry divisions mainly composed of infantry, the battle was simply a one-sided massacre.

In less than half an hour, this infantry division was annihilated by the mecha troops.

After a short replenishment of ammunition, the mecha troops set out again, destroying the organized enemy troops according to the targets searched by the air force.

These troops that escaped from the Kerimu defense line had no trenches and various fortifications on the plains, and encountered mecha troops, and their fate was needless to say.

The rear of the entire Kerimu defense line fell into complete despair with the surprise attack of this mecha unit.

Because the highway bridge was blown up and the Jeko Group had air superiority, the Siamese army's escape was mostly difficult to hide from the Jeko Group. They were either bombed by air strikes or devastated by mecha units.

Later, the Jeko Group even used helicopters and small-scale paratroopers to airdrop a part of genetic warriors and super soldiers to chase and intercept those Siamese soldiers who had been destroyed and broken into pieces.

The spider mecha would not be dispatched for a small number of soldiers, but such a number of soldiers was just suitable for super soldiers to deal with.

Coupled with the advantages of air superiority and mecha units, the plains behind the entire Kerimu defense line suddenly became the hunting ground of the Jeko Group.

One unit after another was easily annihilated by the Jeko Group on the plains. They could hold on for a while by defending the fortifications, but they could only stretch their necks and be slaughtered on the plains.

Later, when they encountered the mecha troops of the Jeko Group, these soldiers began to surrender, or simply sat on the spot, no longer trying to escape, and just waited to be captured by the Jeko Group.

Including the Siamese troops who held on to the Kerimu Line, they had been defeated at this time.

As abandoned, they were demoralized. Under the fierce attack of the Jeko Group, they surrendered to the Jeko Group in batches, holding their heads and walking out of the bunkers, unwilling to sacrifice in vain for meaningless resistance.

It only took two and a half days. With the successful surprise attack of the mecha troops from the Bilau Mountains blocking the retreat of the Kerimu Line, the troops of Siam, Annan, Zhenla, and Lancang died or surrendered, and the Kerimu Line was broken through by the Jeko Group.

The offensive and defensive battle of the Kerimu defense line began at 9:01 on January 24, 2025. The Jeko Group successively dispatched three mechanized combat brigades as the main assault force, plus two heavy synthetic brigades, two medium synthetic brigades, four light synthetic brigades, and seven infantry divisions, two motorized infantry divisions, and one engineering division, and tore through the defense line of 350,000 people composed of six Siamese army groups on the Kerimu defense line like a hot knife through butter.

The rapid deep-advance force formed by the Jeko Group's mechanized forces and the Air Force quickly tore apart, encircled, cleared, and annihilated the old and huge Siamese four-country army.

By February 1, the Kerimu battle was over, and a total of 163,000 Siamese troops were killed and 172,000 were captured, including the wounded.

The Jeko Group suffered only more than 3,000 casualties, including 732 killed, 2,259 wounded in battle, and 43 non-combat deaths.

The reason for such an exaggerated victory was naturally the mecha troops of the Jeko Group, who made great achievements and annihilated this astonishing number of enemy troops with the blitzkrieg coordinated by the new infantry.

Compared with the 1:30 casualty ratio of Germany's blitzkrieg against Poland, the Jeko Group's record was undoubtedly more exaggerated, with a casualty ratio of 1:110.

So far, the four Siamese armies stationed on the Kerimu Line were destroyed in one battle, and only more than 10,000 remnants managed to escape the encirclement, but it was useless.

As expected, the Jeko Group took only one week to break through the Kerimu Line with a depth of more than 300 kilometers, and encircled and annihilated 340,000 troops, with only more than 10,000 people surviving and escaping.

When this news was disclosed by the media, and the press conference held by the Jeko Group announced this good news to the outside world, the whole world was shocked.

Although the armies of Southeast Asian countries such as Siam are a bit weak, the amazing combat loss ratio, the amazing results of encirclement and annihilation, and the use of various new equipment and new tactics by the Jeko Group are all amazing and jaw-dropping.

‘Shit, this is not fake news, I didn’t pay much attention to the news in just one week of ranking, and the Jeko Group broke through the Kerimu defense line, encircled and annihilated 340,000 people? This news is a bit too exaggerated. ’

‘Oh my God! Did you pay attention to the tactics and new equipment of the Jeko Group on the Kerimu battlefield? The use of genetic warriors and super soldiers in conjunction with large mechas is simply a new era of armored assault tactics. The Jeko Group used this to fight a beautiful interspersed encirclement blitzkrieg. ’

‘Seeing the scorpion-type flamethrower mecha, ant-type engineering mecha, bee-type anti-aircraft mecha of the Jeko Group. These new mechas based on the spider mecha chassis have proved that the use of large mechas has great potential. The future must be the era of mechas. We are ushering in a brand new military revolution. Thanks to the Jeko Group for this mecha east wind. ’

‘The Siamese army is too rubbish. They were beaten so badly by the Jeko Group. How dare they be so arrogant and provoke others beforehand, and even took the initiative to issue a declaration of war? The result is this? ’

‘The above, didn’t the Jeko Group publish the evidence? The King of Siam is just doing things for the United States. They even sacrificed their own old king just to find an excuse to start a war. ’

‘Haha, what I am most looking forward to now is whether the United States will also go to war. If they fight with the Jeko Group, it will be fun to watch. ’

On the Internet, the spectators talked about this and marveled at the horror of the Jeko Group’s mecha troops.

In the royal palace in Manchester, the capital of Siam, when the bad news of the Kerrim Battle came, it had already fallen into panic.

King Pupeng of Siam was furious at the military meeting, held several generals accountable, and scolded the chief of staff Wanyan Ting who did nothing and ruined his good situation.

After a long scolding, he ordered the generals to quickly come up with a way to stop the Jeko Group from continuing to attack the hinterland of the country, and he found Shawang and Smith from the CIA of the United States.

Because Pu Peng knew that the current situation was critical for Siam, and they might not be able to deal with the Jeko Group on their own, so they had to seek the support of their father in the United States.

In a hurry, Pu Peng came to a secret room. After multiple checks and repeated confirmation that there were no monitoring and secret camera equipment, he walked in with peace of mind.

There was no way. The evidence of the Jeko Group's last revelation made Pu Peng understand that he was not safe around him.

The Jeko Group was secretly monitoring him, and he had no choice but to be careful. Not only did he stay at home, but his security level was also constantly increasing.

"Send troops?"

Shawang, who had been waiting here, shook his head when he heard Pu Peng's request.

"Phu Peng, it is unlikely that we will send troops directly. The country will not approve it."

Shawang rejected Pu Peng's request. He had been authorized by the United States and knew the attitude of the United States towards this war.

If the Jeko Group gets stuck in this war, the United States might really send troops to beat the fallen dog.

However, the United States itself was frightened by the mecha strength displayed by the Jeko Group.

Even if the United States' air force is strong, it cannot occupy a country by relying on the air force alone. Moreover, the underground engineering of the Jeko Group is so abnormal that it is still unclear how much effect the air strike can achieve. It must rely on ground troops to promote participation.

Once troops are sent out, they will have to fight against the mecha troops of the Jeko Group, and the casualties will be difficult to control.

The United States is not the same as before, because there are too many enemies in the world. They dare not easily send ground troops to the Middle East, so how dare they send troops to fight against the more terrifying Jeko Group, unless there are really irreconcilable interests and conflicts, so big that the United States is willing to fight.

"Why, it's already this time, don't you want to deal with the Jeko Group? Why are you still unwilling to help us? Are you just going to watch us get defeated?"

Pupong's eyes were red. The reason why he went to war with the Jeko Group was at the instruction of the United States.

He provoked and fought. He thought he had done his best. Now the situation is not favorable. He wants the support of the United States, but the other side said that they are unwilling to send troops and do not want to get involved. How can Pupeng not be angry?
