CHAPTER 1100: CHAPTER 585

The actions of the Jieke Group were not concealed, and the Beautiful Country quickly took measures.

In the Pacific Ocean, the Beautiful Country has multiple military bases on islands located at strategic points.

These military bases can provide supplies and maintenance for warships and have built military airports, which, relying on the combat radius of fighter jets, can enforce blockades and attacks in the sea area.

Upon learning that the Jieke Group’s transport fleet was approaching Japan, fighter jets took off one after another from these islands, beginning high-intensity patrols over the sea area in hopes of scaring the Jieke Group back.

However, the Jieke Group turned a blind eye to this, merely further increasing the number of escort warships for the transport fleet.

At the same time, the Jieke Group’s Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers also made an appearance over these sea areas, making the military bases of the Beautiful Country on the sea extremely nervous, not daring to act recklessly.

Because if it really comes to a fight, they might not even break through the defense zone of the Jieke Group’s transport fleet before being leveled by the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers.

During the standoff between the Jieke Group and the Beautiful Country, the atmosphere in the Pacific Ocean sea area became increasingly tense day by day, with fighter jets and bombers from both sides shuttling back and forth in the blue sky, while warships were cruising below the sea surface, the strong smell of gunpowder attracting the attention of the entire world.

Due to the military intimidation of the Jieke Group, the first batch of the Jieke Group’s transport fleet successfully reached Japan’s sea area and landed at the occupied Osaka Castle.

This transport fleet brought an entire Mechanical Combat Brigade, nearly two hundred Spider Main Battle Mecha, Fly Rocket Mecha, Scorpion Flame Sprayer Mecha, Bee Air Defense Mecha, and Flying Locust Transport Mecha.

It also transported more than two infantry divisions and one heavy armored brigade of the Jieke Group, such a powerful combat force combined with the Jieke Group’s existing garrison in Osaka, expanding the strength dramatically.

In fact, during the period when the Jieke Group’s naval reinforcements were arriving, Japan did not want to recover Osaka City first and drive the Jieke Group away, but they were truly powerless.

Because the Jieke Group’s Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers executed around-the-clock bombing missions over Japan, bombs fell continuously on Japanese territory day and night.

A single Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber has an astonishing range of 36,000 kilometers, can remain in the air for long operations, carry hundreds of tons of various bombs and missiles, various different carriers, a battalion of paratroopers, and also function as an airborne command and control center.

Under multiple sorties of Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber attacks, Japan’s Self Defense Force at home was bombed into disarray, with individual radar stations, military camps, ammunition depots, airports, missile positions, communication bases, and power plants all suffering varying degrees of damage and paralysis.

Some Japanese fighters attempting to take off were no match for the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers, either being destroyed on the airport runway or blasted in mid-air by air defense missiles after takeoff.

In modern military operations, having air supremacy is an enormous advantage.

Not only military facilities, but many civilian buildings were also affected during the airstrikes, becoming ruins in the bombings, with a large number of Japanese civilian casualties.

In response to this, the Jieke Group publicly claimed that the bombs were drifted off course due to strong winds, whether the outside world believes it or not, the Jieke Group does not care.

Under the intense attacks of the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers, Japan could hardly gather troops to attack Osaka City, with many Self Defense Team units disappearing in formation due to the bombings before even leaving the barracks.

The remaining large units dared not leave cover and positions, exposing themselves in open areas, which would quickly result in devastating bombings.

This is not only due to the formidable strength of the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers, but also because Japan is really too small, lacking any real strategic depth.

The attack range of the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers, combined with their massive payload capacity, means that once the Japanese Self Defense Team’s information is exposed, an attack from Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers is sure to come within fifteen minutes.

In such circumstances, Japan can only manage self-preservation, even that being extremely difficult, leaving them powerless against the Jieke Group in strategic Osaka City.

Therefore, after the Jieke Group’s transport fleet brought large reinforcements, following a two-day rest in Osaka Castle, the operation began with the Mechanical Combat Brigade opening the path, Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers providing battlefield fire support from the sky, Spider Main Battle Mecha rampaging, the Japanese Self Defense Team soldiers encountering them were almost all instantly routed.

.....

Kyoto City, historically known as Pingan City, is located in the western part of Japan, an inland city, and the eighth largest urban population in Japan. It has always been Japan’s capital, with long-standing historical deposits giving Kyoto City a wealth of historical sites, it is Japan’s spiritual homeland, the source of Japanese culture, and a cultural symbol.

However, this ancient capital of the Japanese people has much of its urban area already shattered by bombings, with fires spreading across multiple high-rises and streets, black smoke swirling into the sky like the raging flames of hell, accompanied by the cries of Japanese people, corpses scattered everywhere, and panicked crowds forming a hellish scroll.

This city was itself part of the Osaka urban circle, was also the first target of the Jieke Group ground forces, capturing this place held significance beyond the literal, striking a blow to the spirits of the Japanese people.
