After the cargo ship departed, the affairs in Europe temporarily had no connection with Chen Xin, and his daily work had, in a sense, become more relaxed.

Although the alien creature attacks in the Dongting Lake Battlefield remain fierce, they appear somewhat impotent in the face of an increasingly solidified defense line and the potent industrial strength unleashed by humanity’s adaptation.

To counter steel with flesh, if these alien creatures didn’t possess a tidal quantity along with a respectable individual combat power, they would have long been eradicated in the war.

After all, at the core, these are just a group of not particularly powerful alien creatures, neither Zerg nor Terran, lacking extraordinary combat power.

Previously, the advantage was gained by the alien creatures due to environmental factors, together with humanity’s industrial production mode not yet adjusted.

Certainly, if previously the alien creatures could break Flame Country’s military blockade and expand themselves, with their astonishing reproductive ability, they would have spread like a virus, and their numbers would have grown geometrically.

If such a situation indeed arose, Flame Country’s military might find it exceedingly challenging to handle alien creatures greater in number than ants.

Yet thankfully, Flame Country’s military halted the alien creatures’ expansion, restricting them firmly within the Dongting Lake Region, even if they attempt to tunnel through underground, they are inadequate before humanity’s various monitoring methods and ground-penetrating strike capabilities.

Especially after Flame Country restored communication with the satellites, relying on satellite surveillance and guidance, humanity’s military strike power returned to normal levels, with an abundance of over-the-horizon weapons demonstrating to these flesh-fighting beings what it means to be crushed under iron treads.

Although humanity isn’t using tank treads to crush the alien creatures, undoubtedly these alien creatures are crushed by steel creations.

Indeed, after restoring satellite communications and military satellite functions, the situation of warfare with alien creatures changed.

Previously, obstructed by a dust cloud, the satellite guidance in missile guidance systems was rendered unusable, forcing the military to rely only on the frontline combat personnel’s laser guidance, limited radar guidance, and missile’s inertia guidance — inadequate methods that made the precision and efficiency of strikes against alien creatures suboptimal.

Unable to grasp the battlefield situation deeply, the missiles didn’t know which locations to hit effectively to thwart alien creatures’ offensives, resulting in the military, although holding mighty weapons, being limited to use within aerial reconnaissance and ground observation range, unable to achieve over-the-horizon strikes and comprehensive battlefield control.

It’s not that missiles couldn’t be used without satellite navigation, as long as there are coordinates, they could still be launched relying on inertia guidance.

However, without grasping battlefield information, deciding where those missiles should strike became difficult.

A missile is costly, and if it’s only used to bombard cannon fodder on the battlefield which even the alien creatures don’t care about, it would be a blatant waste.

Now, satellite monitoring is sufficient for humanity to grasp every move of alien creatures on the battlefield, no detail or change escapes the aerial eyes.

The reinstated satellite navigation system once again proved useful; once satellites detect any unfavorable tendencies among ground alien creatures, missiles will strike targets accurately under satellite-guided precision.

With satellite collaboration, after humanity restored satellite communication, the military had already used a wave of missile sweeps to obliterate all attackable underground tunnel exits of alien creatures in the Dongting Lake Region, significantly reducing their ability to transport cannon fodder to the battlefield.

This considerably cut down the total presence of alien creatures on the battlefield and effectively limited the underground reinforcements of alien creatures to the battlefield.

Although alien creatures are still able to continuously excavate new tunnels to send reinforcements to the battlefield, under the missile strikes guided by precise satellite location, such reinforcements were not effective.

During this time, alien creatures attempted once again, as before, to dig through the underground water layer and penetrate behind the defense line to launch attacks, yet humanity’s understanding of local hydrology and geology allowed effective analysis of potential alien creature attack directions.

Adding vibration monitoring systems and originally earthquake forecasting seismographic networks, every move of alien creatures underground was monitored by humanity.

Whenever vibration monitoring indicated any regional danger escalation or alien creature invasion signs, the Land Fleet constantly patrolling around the battlefield would arrive at the location to conduct powerful military strikes, directly destroying any chance of alien creatures breaking through from underground.

Relying on the immense aerial strike capability of land aircraft carriers and the battlefield mobility of Land Ships, the entire fleet is lively like a mobile fortress on the battlefield.

Destroyers and frigates are active on the battlefield, providing firepower support as mobile forces and could infiltrate from the air behind enemy lines if necessary, while land aircraft carriers mostly patrol the battlefield along routes planned by the military, offering aerial strike power and intelligence support.

Wherever there are signs of alien creature gathering, the fleet will move there, using missiles and aerial bombs to make alien creatures fully aware of the absolute gap between flesh and steel, fire.

Alien creatures certainly aren’t being passively beaten; during this period, they’ve attempted various tactics like sending giant spitting brood units that nearly caused huge problems for the defense line, digging again underground, and coordinating massive combat brood units to attack the defense line.

But such tactics to humanity are dreadfully simple and crude.

Not to mention the missile attack system now set up around the battlefield, even the frigates within the patrolling Land Fleet could use ship artillery to destroy these things directly.

Compared to using large-caliber artillery for carpet bombing from beyond visual range, frigates could easily fly close to giant spitting brood units, using direct line-of-sight shelling with ship artillery to smash the head of giant spitting brood units.

Of course, in most cases, Land Ships don’t do this, instead adopting satellite monitoring combined with reconnaissance plane positioning to eliminate these creatures with missiles.

Only when these large units are too close to the defense line would Land Ships approach through aerial flight for direct artillery attack.

With this series of measures, alien creatures for Flame Country are no longer a gigantic threat but have become a controllable situation.

With the reduction in soldier casualties on the front line, the military even has the idea of turning the place into a situation similar to rotational combat, making alien creatures a whetstone to hone their troops.
