Five Hundred and Fifty-Six New Commanders

Some people are born with an aristocratic air, even if they just stand there, he will give people a completely different feeling, as if he is more particular than others, or more decent than others.

Durando is such a person, his leather shoes are always meticulous, his military uniform is always ironed very straight, his white hair is always taken care of every day without exception, even the wrinkles on his face seem to be is absolutely symmetrical.

He never slanted his mouth to show a smile, he never commented on anyone behind his back, and he walked with his military cap on like an etiquette student taught in a military academy.

This general, who graduated from an old-fashioned noble military school, received a good education, used knowledge magic balls, and studied at the Royal Military Academy of Ireland Hill for a year, was strict in his work and never made any mistakes.

As an old aristocrat, he was unlikely to stand out in the Elland Hill system, but with the expansion of Elland Hill, there was a shortage of talents. Generals like him finally waited for their day to emerge .

The most representative one may be the famous old general Medias who fought in the Battle of Ferry City. He is now a representative figure among the veterans and an idol respected by the old aristocratic officers.

The one who succeeded the old general Medias and commanded the 15th Army Group was this general who also came from the old aristocratic circle, General Durando appointed by Chris.

At 3:17 in the morning, this veteran general who knew everything well opened his eyes for the first time, and sat up from the bed in his headquarters.

When he fell asleep yesterday, the 15th Army Group had been fully mobilized, and the entire Dukou City had entered a state of first-level combat readiness.

The naval warships have completely left the port anchorage, and the army troops have also entered the first-line positions to stand by.

While everyone was busy, the old general who was in charge of commanding the 15th Army Group returned to his room alone, and fell asleep on time at nine o'clock.

He even ordered his adjutant not to disturb other things except His Majesty the Emperor and the Marshal looking for him.

So, when General Durando opened his eyes, he had slept for more than six hours. And last night, the submarine tracking the demon landing force sent back the exact news that the demon fleet was approaching the coastline.

Still in an orderly manner, he put on his military uniform, carefully adjusted his collar and cuffs in front of the mirror, and after confirming that his clothes were very decent, the commander opened the door of his room.

outside the door,

The anxious military commanders were waiting there, and they all looked at General Durando who pushed the door out.

Seeing these people waiting here, Durando was not surprised at all. He nodded slightly in embarrassment, and apologized to the generals who had been waiting for a long time, "As people get older, they don't have so much energy. In order to maintain my strength, I slept for a while, I'm very sorry."

The generals waiting here didn't come to hear his apology, they were looking for the commander for the latest combat deployment arrangements. Seeing Durando come out, he hurriedly asked in unison, "General, does the battle plan need to be changed?"

"Everything is going according to the original plan! Gentlemen, this is just an attack by the devil, why are you in such a panic?" Durando frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his subordinates.

His words made everyone more nervous—because General Durando seemed to be an embroidered pillow without any real talents at all.

Because since the general took office, he has only been focusing on the basic training of the troops, but he has no opinion on the previous defense plan, let alone any amendments.

In other words, he seemed to be a transparent person. Apart from dressing up and going out to supervise the training of the army every day, he never issued any orders of his own.

Since he took office, the general headquarters of the 15th Army seems to have become a megaphone, only issuing forwarding orders like "Orders of the General Staff", "Orders of the General Headquarters", and "Orders of His Majesty". Issued the "Order of the 15th Army General Headquarters"...

The megaphone, the answering bug, the flower shelf, and the idiot general, these are the nicknames given to General Durando by the people below. As a result, the general turned a deaf ear to these slanders and criticisms as if nothing happened.

Until yesterday, the 15th Army had entered a state of full mobilization, and the entire army had entered the predetermined line of defense. General Durando still had no idea of ​​his own, and he still used the anti-landing combat plan drawn up more than a year ago.

However, unlike before, General Durando explained his order this time, as if he hoped that his subordinates could more firmly implement his combat deployment.

I only heard him say to these generals, "Gentlemen! The battle plan was drawn up by General Medias. I reviewed the entire anti-landing battle plan on the first day I took office."

"General Medias is steady, and the battle plan he drew up is also very reasonable. As a commander, there is absolutely no need for me to change the already perfect battle plan." He paused for a while.

After a pause, he said while pointing to himself, "So, all I can do is to supervise your serious training every day, and to better implement General Medias's combat plan when needed... that's all."

"Now, there is no need to panic, because you have practiced what will happen today hundreds of times! All you have to do is to repeat the familiar content that is no longer familiar!" He walked to himself In front of the chief of staff, he nodded slightly, "And what I have to do now is to fine-tune the entire combat deployment according to the enemy's changes."

"I don't want you to have any hesitation when carrying out the established battle plan, and I don't want you to have any hesitation when carrying out my orders!" His eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives, and he swept across the involuntary The officers who stood up straight.

Seeing that they were all serious, Durando nodded slightly in satisfaction, and then raised his arms to salute, "When you are ordered to retreat, even if you have won a complete victory, you must turn back immediately! When you are ordered to attack, Even if there is only one of you left, jump out of the trench and move forward! When you are ordered to stand on the ground, you can only die there!"

"Yes!" All the officers answered with their chins raised as they stood at attention and saluted General Durando as if they had only really met General Durando this day.

"Very good! Let's go! Go back to your posts! Wait for the devil to set foot on the coastline!" Durando adjusted the angle of his military cap, and then walked out of the room first.

After a year of strengthening, the defense line of Ferry City has been strengthened to a terrible level. In order to prevent the damage of the tsunami, Alan Hill, who has an amazing cement output, built a 90-kilometer-long sea wall on both sides of Ferry City.

During the battle, the 90-kilometer-long seawall became a 140-kilometer-long city wall, and it also became a huge 90-kilometer-long defense line.

Before Medias was transferred from the 15th Army, he drew up a whole set of operational plans around the new line of defense against the enemy landing at sea.

In line with this set of plans, when the entire seawall was being built, various combat deployments were fully considered.

For example, the width of the seawall was built with reference to the needs of the howitzer unit. Sufficient width provided good firing positions for artillery, and transport trucks could also transport ammunition on these highway-like seawalls.

In addition, in front of the seawall, there is an abandoned salt field. These saltworks have been completely abandoned after the last war, so they have also been converted into deadly defensive positions.

Including trenches reinforced with reinforced concrete, and permanent machine gun bunkers-this kind of scenic spot is not beautiful. Since the last battle at the ferry, it has been built according to the super fortress line of defense.

After General Durando took over the line of defense, he did not make any changes, but continued to build the line of defense according to the original plan.

He inspects the construction progress of the defense line every day, and asks about the training of the troops stationed in the defense line every day.

Now, his Xiao Guicao's actions have finally played their due role. The 100,000 troops who entered the line of defense were very familiar with the line of defense they were in, and they were very clear about every detail of the battle.

Under the soldiers' feet are ammunition reserves that have been prepared long ago, and above their heads are reinforced bunkers and concealed nets.

These soldiers are all blessed with powerful automatic weapons, and there are dwarven troops flooding them. Behind them is the defensive position of the armored forces, and on the reverse slope of the embankment are hundreds of T-72 tanks that are ready for battle.

Compared with the previous Battle of Ferry City, Alan Hill's armored forces have undergone radical changes. They have eliminated 4 tanks and equipped them with all t-72 main battle tanks.

Supporting these tanks are hundreds of towed 155mm caliber howitzers-according to the defense mission of the 15th Army Group, this unit did not give priority to self-propelled howitzers, because this unit seldom maneuvers, they are just to guard the ferry city , guarding the existence of Mayne and Siris.

The sky is not yet bright, and the troops that have entered the position are already ready to fight. The soldiers leaning against the wall of the trench with their weapons in their hands closed their eyes and rested their minds according to the order. The radar antenna responsible for monitoring the entire battlefield was slowly turning in the early morning sea breeze.

Everything is quiet, everyone is waiting, waiting for the moment when the sun rises in the east.
