Scarred Gorge, Outpost 1829.
More than three thousand federal soldiers, relying on their constructed defensive fortifications, held off an Imperial force ten times their size.
The sound of artillery fire was constant, but not intense. Was this due to a relative lull in the fighting?
No, it was simply due to the extremely thin atmospheric environment of this alien planet. If those artillery fires were occurring on Azure Star, it would be no exaggeration to describe them as deafening, like a thunderstorm.
"Mechas, they've dispatched Mechas."
"Where are our Mechas?"
"They're ready."
"Send them out."
In a stalemate defense battle, there are generally three types of breakthroughs: 1. Level the defensive positions with indiscriminate fire coverage. 2. Sacrifice a large number of troops and fill the defensive works with their bodies, regardless of casualties.
The third is to have the Mechas advance directly, destroying the fire output units in the battlefield.
