Lieutenant General Durando is just an ordinary general. In fact, he does not have much reputation in the Airanhill Empire. However, he has a special identity, that is, he is the first person in the Veronsa region to work for the Airanhill Empire.
A group of magician commanders.
Originally, Chris planned to let him lead a magic army to fight in all directions. However, due to the advancement of technology, the Airanhill Empire gave up the plan of a pure magician army, and Lieutenant General Durando has been serving on the staff.
, there is no decent promotion.
It stands to reason that his military rank is already quite high. This is just Chris' way of taking care of Veronza's official system. But this time, Chris handed over the outstanding 15th Army to Durando, obviously to give the magician some
Chance.
Chris has too many generals that he can use. This also sends a signal to others: If you can't do it, then I will replace you with a new group of people!
Modler suffered another tragedy. He fought a victorious battle in the Port of Ossa, but even the serious enemies did not see the demon. Instead of attacking Ossa, he went to fight Pilipi Island. Modler
Once again he was transferred without seeing the enemy.
This seems to have become a curse for Modell. Wherever he goes, there is no fighting. The soldiers like this kind of commander very much, so Modell has a nickname that he dislikes very much: "Peace"
General."
…
On the Western Front, among the Eiland Hill Armored Forces that were attacking southwestward, inside an M4 tank, the tank commander was talking to his company commander: "The reconnaissance force said that there are puppet troops active here, and we need more infantry cover.
!”
On the radio, the voice of the commander of the tank company came, his tone full of fatigue: "Pay attention to the surroundings, we don't have that many soldiers to cover us, we can only rely on ourselves."
They attacked all the way forward and had advanced almost 170 kilometers. Although the puppet empire would still keep counterattacking in an attempt to stabilize their position, the main force of Eiland Hill never stopped advancing.
The 1st Army Group has entered Longshel, and the two sides are engaged in fierce street fighting. The reinforcements of the puppet empire tried to regain the lost defensive positions, but were defeated by the two flanks of Eiland Hill.
The battle was very stalemate, so both sides also put in reserve forces. The armored force in front of them was actually Alan Hill who was thrown into the front line and began a roundabout operation to flank Ronschel.
"Be careful of those distant hillsides. Maybe the puppet soldiers' defensive positions are over there." Leaning half of his body, the company commander put down his binoculars and reminded his men: "Pay attention to any suspicious problems! If there is any situation, report immediately.
report."
"Understood!" The commander of the leading tank car pressed the intercom and replied happily. Their mobile warfare was countless times better than the puppet empire's field warfare, so they had won the last few battles.
The discount put them in a very good mood and built up their confidence. Although this tank regiment participated in the war for the first time, they performed very well and received many rewards from their superiors.
The armored forces of Airan Hill are very strong. The strongest point is that they can communicate with each other through radio and confirm a lot of intelligence. This is also the key to the strength of the Earth's army.
In fact, modern war is fought on the information communication network that both sides have painstakingly built. If one side's communication network is paralyzed by the other side, then that side will lose the entire war.
What reassures everyone is that since the birth of the Airan Hill Empire, their communication system has always been reliable, effective, and will not be interfered by the enemy. Therefore, the grassroots officers and soldiers of Airan Hill can communicate in a timely manner and inform each other of the battlefield.
This is one of the main reasons why the army of the Elanthir Empire performed so powerfully on the battlefield.
"Strange." While the commanders were communicating with each other on the radio, an electromechanical officer sitting next to the tank driver frowned: "There is interference."
This is a very strange thing. Ireland's radio equipment is very reliable. Under normal circumstances, interference is only the result of interference between one's own high-power radio stations.
Therefore, he didn't pay attention. He just adjusted the channel, switched to the backup channel, checked the radio communicator around him, and confirmed whether the position of the switch on it had changed due to vibration.
This is his duty, and the only thing left to do is to operate the heading machine gun in front of the tank to kill enemies who try to attack the front of the tank.
"I heard it too, there is an electric sound on the channel! Mechanical and electrical man, adjust it." The captain held the earphone hanging on his ear with his hand, and also frowned: "Car No. 1! I am Car No. 3
!Confirm, can you hear me? Confirm!"
He pressed the communicator on his throat to confirm with his company commander whether his communication channel was open, but all he heard was the irritating sound of electrical interference in his ears.
"Damn it! Car No. 1! I'm Car No. 3! Talk back! Talk back!" After tapping his earphone twice, the captain of Car No. 3 finally couldn't bear the feeling of poor communication.
"Hurry up and fix the communication channel!" He depressedly opened the hatch above his head, stuck his head out, and looked in the direction of his company commander's car. At the same time, a muffled sound came, as if something was coming.
Something exploded.
The next second, the commander who leaned out of his body saw a blazing M4 tank paralyzed on the road ahead. Flames danced on the tank, and thick smoke spewed out from the wreckage of the tank.
Blocks most of the field of view.
"What the hell!" Subconsciously, he retracted his head, and then followed up, holding down the throat intercom out of habit: "Car No. 1 was hit! Car No. 1 exploded! What the hell!"
After shouting, he realized that his communicator seemed to be broken and he could not contact the friendly tanks behind him at all.
"Did you see where the attack came from?" He switched channels. The calls in the car were wired, so there was no need to worry about interference. He finally waited for a response to his question.
The electromechanical technician who was debugging the radio equipment immediately replied: "I didn't see anything! There is no problem with the equipment! It's not that the equipment is broken! There is interference! Very strong interference!"
As soon as he confirmed it, a shell hit the front armor plate of their M4 tank.
That powerful and heavy blow made everyone in the tank turn pale. Although it did not penetrate the thick armor steel plate, it also shocked everyone in the vehicle.
"The enemy is firing! I don't see the enemy! Reverse! Reverse! Hurry up!" The commander who had participated in the battle was still very experienced. After he came to his senses, he loudly ordered: "Get out of here! Don't be here.
Get beaten! Let’s get out of here!”
Upon hearing his order, the driver immediately reversed the vehicle. The reliable performance of the M4 tank made it respond immediately. The tracks began to roll back, and the heavy body began to move back.
"Turn right a little! Avoid car No. 1! It's blocking the road! I can't see anything!" He put his eyes in front of the periscope and observed the surrounding situation bit by bit. The captain found that his big
Part of the view was obscured by thick smoke from the car behind.
He didn't see where the enemy was, nor where the attack just now came from.
From the fact that the opponent's attack hit the front armor plate, we can simply judge that the opponent should be roughly in the direction of 10 o'clock to 14 o'clock in front of the road. However, this direction is a bit wide. Just relying on the periscope on the M4 tank, it is still impossible to detect the enemy immediately.
.
"Bang!" Another shell hit the front armor of the M4 tank, leaving an obvious dent on it. The shell still did not penetrate the armor of the M4 tank. The car was reversing on the road.
The M4 tank was still reversing.
The route it reversed was a bit off, so it quickly avoided the nearby wreckage of Car No. 1 and retreated under the roadbed on one side.
At this time, the third shell also hit the turret of this M4 tank. Fortunately, none of the three shells penetrated the M4, which made the crew members who were almost fighting alone feel a little calmer.
Some.
In fact, they didn't know that what was attacking them was the 30mm-caliber artillery on the puppet tank. This kind of artillery was actually outdated long ago and had no ability to penetrate the M4 tank with very thick frontal armor.
Maybe the designers of the M4 tank would not have thought that the M4 tank, which could be described as vulnerable to powerful enemies such as the German Tiger and Panther tanks on the battlefield on earth, would actually have armor that could be considered vulnerable on the battlefield of another world.
"Very heavy"...
"You guessed it... the enemy is on the other side! Direction 13 o'clock, or direction 14 o'clock!" The commander, who guessed correctly, breathed a sigh of relief and began to carefully observe the reverse slopes in the distance through the periscope.
Then, he saw a well-hidden puppet tank, with only one turret exposed, and it was firing continuously to attack the M4 tanks lying on the road.
The captain of Car No. 3 heard another explosion, but because of the thick smoke, he could not see the explosion at all and did not dare to poke his head out. He could only follow the training and take the most correct measures.
"Load armor-piercing bullets!" The first thing he thought about was to fire back on the battlefield. Counterattack was always the most important thing. Only by destroying the enemy can he better protect himself.
Of course, at the same time, he also loudly reminded his mechanical and electrical personnel to quickly repair the vital communication equipment: "Reply to the communication! Otherwise, we will be no different from the blind."
"I'm trying it! Bastard! This is not a problem with the machine, it's interference! Very strong interference!" The electromechanical man desperately knocked on the equipment around him and replied loudly.
