274: Chapter 274 What exactly is going on?
Xishan Base.
General Control Room.
Yang Tongan's steady voice, filled with iron-blooded lethality, exploded throughout the General Control Room via the red dedicated communication line.
In that instant, the air in the entire General Control Room was completely ignited.
The military personnel who had been on standby for a long time, along with the leading authorities of military research headed by Shen Changhe, could not help but let long-suppressed fanaticism and excitement burst forth from their eyes.
After enduring for so long, the Great Wall of Steel of the Xia Kingdom was finally about to bare its fangs to the whole world!
"Received!"
"Highest-level combat authorization confirmed!"
"Target area: disputed region on the White Elephant Country-Pakistan border, coordinates locked!"
On the console, with the final heavy press of the Enter key, the highest-level combat sortie command transformed into an uninterceptable quantum-encrypted radio wave, shooting straight into the sky.
Near Space, near the Kármán line.
Against the backdrop of the deep, boundless universe, eighteen pure white xuannu Aerospace Fighter jets were cruising.
The second the strike order was received, the fighter jets' underlying systems were awakened immediately.
In the silent vacuum of space, azure miniature nuclear fusion exhaust flames erupted suddenly and without warning from the tails of the eighteen fighter jets.
Subsequently, the eighteen Xuan Nu Fighter Jets sped toward the battlefield on the White Elephant Country-Pakistan border at a terrifying speed exceeding Mach 6!
At the same time, on the White Elephant Country-Pakistan border battlefield.
The intensity of the war had reached its peak.
Smoke and dust blotted out the sun, and the frozen earth was thoroughly stained red by blood and artillery fire.
The White Elephant Country's armored forces, like an unstoppable torrent of steel, ruthlessly crushed the scorched earth with their tracks, their gun barrels spitting out deadly tongues of fire.
In the sky, dozens of advanced electronic warfare aircraft circled at medium to high altitudes, their powerful electromagnetic waves tightly suppressing the airspace below.
Pakistan's defensive line was teetering on the edge of collapse.
On the front line, several disabled, old armored vehicles lay crookedly beside shell craters, billowing black smoke.
Pakistan soldiers huddled behind broken bunkers as shrapnel flew and sand and dirt filled the air.
However, at this very moment—
Inside the Pakistan front-line command post, a shrill, encrypted communication buzzer suddenly sounded.
It was a highest-level encrypted channel from the rear.
The communications officer lunged for the console, fingers typing rapidly.
The second the information was decrypted, the officer turned around abruptly, voice severely distorted by extreme excitement.
"Com... Commander!"
"Xia Kingdom's support is already on the way!"
As the words fell, the Pakistan front-line commander immediately scrambled up; his tiger-like eyes suddenly turned red, and his lips trembled violently twice.
Afterward, he grabbed the communicator and roared with all his might.
"Announcement to the entire army—"
"Xia Kingdom's support has arrived!"
This news was like a raging fire, completely igniting the entire defensive line.
The Pakistan soldiers, who had been filled with despair, saw light reignite in their eyes the second they heard this news.
"Reinforcements are here!"
"Brothers! Hold the line for me!!"
The sound of gunfire and artillery suddenly became more intense, and on the previously teetering defensive line, a fierce and fearless desperate counterattack erupted.
Meanwhile, at the White Elephant Country front-line command center.
On the tactical screen, the red dots representing Pakistan forces were displaying an extremely abnormal state of activity.
The White Elephant Country front-line commander looked at the Pakistan counterattack on the screen, a sneer of extreme contempt appearing on his face.
"Death throes."
He turned to look at the adjutant standing nearby, his eyes fierce and arrogant.
"Notify the armored cluster, there is no need to worry about ammunition consumption anymore; press the entire line forward!"
"Notify those birds in the sky, turn on the electromagnetic suppression at maximum power, and carpet bomb the area for me!"
"Since they won't retreat, then fulfill their wish!"
"I want to completely crush this defensive line within half an hour! Plant our military flag on their command post!"
The adjutant stood at attention, saluted, and responded loudly:
"Yes! Commander!"
However, the second the adjutant turned around and his finger was about to press the highest-level broadcast key for the entire army's communications.
"Szz—!"
Inside the entire command center, a shrill, high-frequency electric current sound suddenly exploded.
This sound pierced directly through people's eardrums, causing everyone present to cover their ears in pain.
Immediately after, the main control screen, tactical radar interface, individual communication interfaces, and even the latest tactical tablet on the commander's desk—all electronic screens emitting light turned into gray-white static in the same microsecond.
"What is going on?!"
The White Elephant commander, shocked and furious, stood up abruptly from his chair.
"Report, Commander, all frequency bands are interrupted!"
"It's not just communications... fire control systems, navigation systems, and even radar warnings are all lost!"
"All our contact with the front-line troops... is cut off!"
The White Elephant commander's pupils contracted to the extreme.
His brain raced at this moment.
It was not equipment failure.
It could never be equipment failure!
These pieces of equipment were the latest cutting-edge goods provided by The Other Side of the Ocean, having undergone layers of testing; they could never all malfunction at the same time!
The only explanation—someone was conducting full-frequency electromagnetic suppression on them!
And it was the kind of crushing-level electromagnetic suppression that wiped out all electronic equipment in the entire theater of operations in one go!
The blood drained from the White Elephant commander's face at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a bone-chilling cold surged up.
"Xia Kingdom..."
His lips trembled.
This was the most logical answer, and also the one that made him feel the most despair.
But the problem was, their radar had not captured any targets from the direction of the Xia Kingdom from start to finish.
How on earth did the opponent manage to do this?!
...
At the same time, on the battlefield.
The White Elephant Country's new tank cluster, which had been showing off its might just a second ago, was now all eerily immobilized.
The fire control systems were forcibly locked, the heavy turrets stuck in mid-air unable to turn, and the thermal imaging sights turned into a dead gray.
These steel giants, which had been insufferably arrogant just moments ago, had instantly turned from great weapons of slaughter into extremely clumsy iron coffins.
The sky was in a state of chaos that made one's scalp tingle.
Those few advanced electronic warfare aircraft that had originally been spraying electromagnetic waves at will at medium to high altitudes had now all lost their data link connections.
All the instrument panels were reporting errors frantically, and the red warning lights were flashing non-stop.
The pilots screamed in terror, able to maintain flight attitude only by visual observation and the most primitive mechanical operations, circling in the air like headless flies; let alone suppressing others, they couldn't even tell where they were.
And at the same time the White Elephant army fell into extreme chaos and panic, the soldiers on the Pakistan front line immediately discovered the enemy's anomaly.
"The enemy's firepower has stopped!"
"Their tanks aren't moving!"
"Xia Kingdom's support has arrived! Charge! Brothers, the time for a counterattack is here!"
Countless Pakistan soldiers erupted in earth-shaking roars, leaping out of the trenches and launching a deadly counterattack against the paralyzed White Elephant army.
This eerie and shocking scene was also clearly seen by countless "eyes" in space.
The Other Side of the Ocean, European nations, the Polar Bear... the highest-level military satellites of multiple countries were monitoring this battlefield in real-time at the highest resolution.
Intelligence personnel and high-ranking military officials from various countries, looking at this inconceivable scene on their screens, all had their minds go blank from shock.
What on earth is going on?
