The rebels at Yari Horn discovered the unusual mobilization of the Planetary Defense Force. Several of their forward positions were swept clean in the past few hours, serving as a stark warning.
But they never expected that the opposing Planetary Defense Force would launch a full-scale assault on Yari Horn, especially with such a strong first wave of airstrikes.
On the Western Continent, comparing the Planetary Defense Forces to the cult rebels, the former were at a disadvantage in manpower, weaponry, and morale.
But they had the sole aerial advantage.
Relying on air superiority, the Planetary Defense Forces managed to maintain the war front from collapsing too severely.
However, the rebels were also prepared for this. A considerable number of anti-aircraft guns posed a significant threat to the air force; the ground fortifications were also well-designed to protect against air strikes; the artillery positions remained well-concealed before firing.
