You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 116 Western Front
There was a concern that the Japanese would surrender before the ground forces could liberate the Fusang Islands.

That's really bad; the rulers of Japan have completely gone mad.

They won't surrender until they're completely annihilated.

Within five hours of the start of the war, the coalition government swiftly and decisively accomplished a series of objectives, from the East China Sea naval battle to the landing in Fukuoka and the liberation of northern Kyushu.

The battlefront has now been steadily advanced to the outskirts of Hiroshima.

Along the way, several special operations teams were also organized to penetrate deep behind enemy lines.

To rescue ordinary Japanese people who are suffering in dire straits.

At this moment, in the bridge command room of the Yamato in the eastern waters of the Pudong Islands.

On the massive holographic strategic map, the territory of the Fusang Islands is still shrouded in dark red, symbolizing the energy of the abyss.

Meanwhile, along the coastal areas of Kyushu and Shikoku, blue arrows representing the coalition government forces are steadily advancing inland, tearing apart the enemy's defenses.

Li Zhe sat in the large commander's chair.

With his elbows resting on the armrests and his fingers interlaced against his chin, he solemnly surveyed the ever-changing battle situation.

Hoshi and Kazuko stood on either side of him.

The star's translucent energy body was stable and rational, with data streams flashing rapidly in its golden eyes, efficiently processing and analyzing massive amounts of battlefield information.

Kazuko's expression was filled with concern and anxiety about the battle situation.

Those obsidian-like eyes were fixed on every number of casualties on the map, and her small hands unconsciously gripped the hilt of the "Kikuichimonji" sword at her waist, as if she were ready to rush into the battlefield at any moment.

"Commander, the first day (T+5 hours) battle summary report of 'Operation Sunset' has been generated. Please review it."

Xing bowed slightly.

A detailed, organized report was projected onto Li Zhe's face in the form of a holographic screen.

The report, presented in an extremely calm and data-driven military report format, is highly professional.

[Summary of the First Day of "Operation Sunset"]

I. Overall Strategic Deployment and Initial Results

After the operation began, the coalition government assembled a naval strike force centered on three carrier battle groups, as well as more than 300 registered mech divisions, to launch a large-scale amphibious assault on the Fusang Islands.

The initial strategic objectives have been achieved. Our main forces have successfully established a stable landing site in the Fukuoka area of ​​Kyushu Island, and from this base, they have simultaneously advanced towards Shikoku Island and the westernmost part of Honshu Island, successfully opening up the second and third theaters of operations.

II. Detailed Battle Situation in Each Theater

【Battle of Fukuoka, Kyushu】

The main force of the coalition government landed here and encountered a large army led by the "elite filth".

The enemy used the city ruins to build extremely complex three-dimensional defensive fortifications and transformed a large number of civilians who had not mutated into "filthy human shields" to consume our ammunition with their flesh and blood and hinder our offensive. Their tactics were extremely cruel and inhumane.

In this fierce urban battle, our mech forces demonstrated a brand-new cooperative combat mode for the first time.

Xing's finger lightly tapped the screen.

Several footage clips of battle, filled with smoke and fire, were then played.

In the scene, a heavily armored mech uses a shoulder-mounted electromagnetic cannon to destroy a department store that has been converted into a firing point by the corrupted.

To create a safe path for the infantry units behind them to advance.

In another scene, several mechs equipped with massive tower shields and heavy machinery form a mobile steel barrier in a narrow street.

They provided cover for regular infantry units and advanced steadily.

They used concentrated firepower to wipe out the swarms of filthy creatures that were pouring in from all directions.

The most thrilling of all was the "Decapitation Sharp Knife" squad, composed of elite mecha pilots such as Bai Xihe.

Piloting highly mobile mechs, they maneuvered through complex urban buildings, braving gunfire to precisely penetrate the enemy's command center.

A massive, commanding "filthy general" was slain on the spot. After the video ended, the cold, brutal casualty figures appeared.

"Although Fukuoka City has been liberated, the casualty rate of our 80 mechs in the battle is as high as 30%, with 12 mech pilots killed and 9 seriously wounded. The exchange ratio between the enemy and ourselves is about 5:3."

Hoshi continued his report, outlining the battlefronts in Hiroshima and Shikoku.

After completing the landing in Fukuoka, the main force split into two groups.

The northward advance has progressed from the Kanmon Strait on Kyushu Island towards the Hiroshima region on Honshu Island, encountering fierce resistance from the enemy, and the battle is currently at a stalemate.

The route heading south had already largely wiped out the remaining enemy forces in the southern part of Kyushu.

They successfully landed on Shikoku Island and are establishing a new forward base.

III. Enemy Dynamics Analysis

Although the corrupt Japanese Empire was utterly depraved, it displayed incredibly arrogant and foolish military tactics.

However, on a tactical level, they still demonstrated a high degree of organization and competence.

It's not the mindless monster horde you encounter on the 0th floor of the Abyss.

What's particularly unsettling is...

Its core area, namely the Kanto region of Honshu Island, is the most heavily defended and has extremely strong energy fluctuations.

It is speculated that their true elite forces are probably actually concentrated near Tokyo.

Furthermore, the coastline of the Fusang Islands is shrouded in a special abyssal energy field, forming an "absolute territory defense line."

Any ship not belonging to the Fusang Empire that gets close will suffer intense energy erosion and attacks.

This is also the fundamental reason why the coalition government could only choose to launch a forced landing on Kyushu Island, which had relatively weak defenses, and was unable to carry out a multi-pronged, all-out offensive.

Listening to Xing's cold, emotionless report, especially seeing the innocent civilians who were used as "human shields" and died tragically under the gunfire.

Kazuko could no longer suppress her anger.

She gripped the hilt of the "Kikuichimonji" sword tightly, her teeth clenched.

A raging fire burned in those obsidian-like eyes.

"These traitors! How dare they use such despicable means! I will surely annihilate them all!"

Li Zhe did not respond immediately.

His gaze moved back and forth across the huge holographic map, his fingertips rhythmically tapping the armrest.

He noted that although the main force of the coalition government was launching a fierce offensive, it was ultimately tied down on the land battlefield.

The Fusang Islands are densely mountainous.

The cities are divided by mountains and narrow valleys, making the terrain complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The corrupt Japanese Empire took advantage of this, resisting step by step and setting up defenses at every level.

Considering the presence of innocent civilians in the city, the coalition government has issued a strict ban on the use of weapons of mass destruction.

If the fighting continues like this, even if victory is ultimately achieved, the coalition government will inevitably pay an immeasurable and heavy price.

Li Zhe's gaze fell on his feet.

The ship I was on at that moment was a massive vessel imbued with a profound sense of history and the spirit of steel.

Yamato.

A ship returns from the abyss.

In a sense, it is a mothership that carries the totem of the Japanese spirit.
