Just as the enemy was building fortifications in full swing.
Li Xin's troops are also being mobilized.
The road from the plateau through the mountains had already been built.
There are five roads in total that pass through the mountains from Yadun's base, three of which are dirt roads that already existed.
The other two were built by people arranged by Li Xin after he took office.
The road was originally built to facilitate the suppression of the rebels, but now it has become a logistical supply line for the army.
Most of these roads are under the control of the twelve bases of Yadun, and only a part of them that starts to go down the plateau is a non-controlled area.
Li Xin's troops quickly set out according to the established plan.
Compared to their location, the Gasu Order, Nordon Castle, and Dewan Technology are closer to the established defense line.
Therefore, before the arrival of the Blueprint garrison and the garrison, the army of Nodonburg had already established a number of defensive positions on the defense line.
The army marched slowly through the mountains, but not in one long line.
Most of the troops are relatively dispersed and march in company-level units.
In modern warfare, it is a problem to assemble large troops.
The enemy will not allow you to assemble troops. As long as there is a leak of intelligence, the next moment may be a cluster bombardment of heavy artillery, or an air strike or missile attack.
There is no need to worry about the military being within the base because the base has an air defense system and large radars.
It is also impossible for the enemy's artillery fire to reach up from below the plateau.
As for missiles, there is no need to worry about them. The air defense system is enough to handle it.
But it is different on the march. The missiles will still be defended by the air defense system because of the natural advantages of the plateau.
The radar station is built on a mountain, so it naturally has a stronger effect.
However, artillery bombardment is difficult to guard against. If an army encounters a heavy artillery attack on the way, it will be difficult to resist.
The same goes for the defending troops.
This is why, since the Li Xin Campaign, most armies’ defensive positions may have only consisted of a few dozen or a hundred men.
There are no larger positions, just a few small positions connected together.
The reason lies in this: the firepower delivery capability of modern warfare is really too strong.
Compared with the lives of veterans, the value of artillery shells seems not that expensive.
The troops moved forward smoothly, but it was also true that the mountain roads were difficult to travel on.
Even if there is a highway in the front half of the road, there is none in the back. Moreover, in order to defend against possible attacks, the army's marching speed is not very fast and they need to leave some spare energy.
It took more than a week for Li Xin and his men to finally descend the Yadun Heights. The troops were divided into four lines, going through Lake Sislan, Yanaka Valley, Gapugu Valley, and Wabidal Valley respectively.
In the wartime command center, this is composed of several modified armored trucks.
On the back of one of the vehicles, there is a huge cabin mounted, which is a module for enhancing the signal.
The quarantine center is painted in the colors of the mountains to camouflage itself as much as possible.
Currently, due to subspace storms, even satellites find it difficult to survive in space, so many times, communications will be interfered with by the planet's magnetic field.
Only by installing this communication module cabin can Li Xin's command center contact all the troops to the greatest extent possible.
In several vehicles serving as wartime command centers, a total of more than a dozen staff officers were busy working.
The intelligence collected by the intelligence personnel was summarized in the command center. Li Xin was not in the command center, but in the vanguard mecha on the side.
But his holographic projection was in the command center's car. Such a short distance was enough for them to achieve seamless communication and command.
Weng Hua said, "Director, the intelligence gathered from the front lines shows that the enemy has established a defense line ahead."
Weng Hua opened the holographic map in the car, and the first thing that opened up was Lake Xislan and the surrounding road facilities.
"The most heavily defended area is Lake Sislan, as it has the only accessible road. Currently, part of Nordenburg's 3rd Motorized Rifle Brigade is stationed there."
"However, judging from the numbers on the front lines, a motorized infantry brigade from Dewan Technology has also appeared here."
"There are at least 6,000 people here establishing a defense line. We arrived a little too late, and the enemy has already established semi-permanent fortifications."
"From aerial reconnaissance, there are at least hundreds of small positions, almost covering the entire surrounding area."
Weng Hua pointed to the second location.
"Yanaka Valley. This was originally a dirt road. Now, a motorized infantry brigade of Dewan Technology has established a defense line here. There are about 4,000 people."
"Finally, there's the Gapgou Valley and the Wabidal Valley. The enemy is there. The other half of the 3rd Motorized Infantry Brigade of Nordonburg has established a defense line in the Gapgou Valley, numbering around 2,000 men. Wabidal is the designation for two regiments of the Gasoum Order, numbering around 3,000 men."
Li Xin asked, "The Gaswu Cult only dispatched two regiments?"
Weng Hua glanced at the intelligence and said, "Yes, Boss. The Unyielding Shield agreed to our terms and began harassing the Gaswu Adeptus Cultus. However, their combat effectiveness is not good enough. The Gaswu Adeptus Cultus has left behind two garrison regiments to guard against the Unyielding Shield."
"Also, the designation of the Second Mechanized Brigade of Nordonburg does not appear directly on the defense line. We suspect they may be using this brigade as a reserve force, ready to support the defense lines in all directions at any time."
Li Xin nodded in the mecha cockpit, already understanding the existing information.
He did not rush to speak, but carefully thought about the information and found a suitable attack position.
Not only was he thinking, he was also constantly observing the map behind him.
The four locations where the enemy established their defense lines were not short in distance. The distance from Lake Sislan to Yanaka Valley was nearly 100 kilometers, and the distance between the other two river valleys was slightly farther.
It is about 180 kilometers from Lake Sislan to the Gapgu Valley, and more than 230 kilometers to the Wabidal Valley.
Li Xin's eyes kept searching back and forth on the map, and finally found a suitable location. It was about the same distance from the four lines of defense, and the enemy's mechanized brigade might be hiding here.
This location is probably more than 20 kilometers away from the front line. No matter which line of defense is under pressure, the troops of the Mechanized Brigade will be able to arrive to provide support within two hours.
Li Xin pointed at this point on the map, and the holographic projection said to Weng Hua, "Arrange the Mountain Warrior Commando and the Freedom Defender Commando to bypass the enemy's defense line through the mountains and scout out the enemy's mechanical brigade!"
"Yes! Supervisor!"
