1621 One Day of War

The scorching heat has gradually subsided, and on the Great Plains of Nagaril, the heavy ears of wheat are swaying slightly in the wind.

Food and harvest are often associated with joy.

But in the next second, the tank that was passing by ran directly through the middle of the wheat field, and pieces of wheat ears that were about to mature were dumped into the wheat field.

There's more than one tank, it's a cluster of tanks!

It didn’t take long for most of the large wheat field to be destroyed!

Ryan, the machine gunner in the tank, was silent. He came from the countryside. His grandfather and grandmother, including his parents, ran a farm.

When many people talk about farms, they imagine beautiful pastoral scenery, a comfortable and leisurely pace of life, and many beautiful things.

In fact, these are people's misunderstandings about farms. They have watched too many unrealistic film and television works, or read some authors' descriptions of the beautiful side of farms from novels, and have wrong perceptions.

The farm is not romantic at all, just like the pastoral scenery can never withstand the harassment of mosquitoes, especially at night.

Without the help of modern agricultural machinery, farm work is not an easy task. Ryan often helped his family do something in the fields when he was a child.

That's definitely not a good memory.

But seeing so many ears of wheat lying in the fields that were about to mature, he still felt a little pity.

People who have never farmed can't understand his feelings, that kind of pity.

The weather in Nagaril has begun to cool down in recent days, and the hottest time has not exceeded 40 degrees, which makes it more or less bearable for everyone.

Some time ago, when Nagaril was at its hottest, it was unbearable.

The painting and design of the tank are destined to make the inside of the tank a big furnace. If it is hot outside, it will be even hotter inside the tank. This problem cannot be solved by taking off your clothes!

There are obvious problems with the design of the current first-generation tanks. They did not take into account the use in extreme environments.

In hot weather, the temperature inside the tank will be several degrees higher than the outdoor air temperature!

When it's over 40 degrees outside, it's almost 50 degrees inside the tank.

It's okay to work for a short period of time, but no one can endure such extreme conditions for more than half an hour!

Before October, most military operations in Nagaril were based on air combat. It was not until October, when the temperature dropped, that ground troops began to advance.

But even so, the temperature inside the tank is still around 40 degrees, and it is still not suitable to work in the tank when it is hottest at noon.

In order to allow these tanks to gallop on the great plains of Nagaril, the army has basically made certain modifications to these tanks.

They added more air inlets, then added an air outlet, and added an air duct inside the tank based on the design of some guy who knows where the fuck he came from.

This greatly alleviates the problem of internal heat being unable to be discharged, but it also reduces the safety of some tanks.

There is a row of air inlets under the chassis directly in front. Once it encounters a mine, or a low-angle explosion, or a bullet hits directly, there is a certain probability of causing direct damage to the soldiers in the tank.

But compared to dying from the heat, people are still willing to take these risks.

Taking a tank as a unit, it requires the consent of all members before it can be modified. There are also some soldiers in the tank who did not do so for safety reasons.

On this trip, they were heading to the central war zone of Nagaril. Yesterday, there were big explosions in several oil depots in the Pengeo-occupied area, which caused them to be short of oil.

Now that the federal air force has the upper hand and has control of the air on the battlefield, they hope that the ground forces can cooperate and advance quickly.

Quickly attack an important central city before the Pengeos can react.

This city not only houses a large number of Penteo's army, but is also one of their frontline warehouses.

As long as these things can be captured or destroyed, Pengeo's offensive will be a heavy blow!

The sudden jolt caused Ryan to stop thinking. The wind under his legs was whistling, but the wind was also boiling hot.

A large roar in the sky came from behind, which was the first round of attacks and bombings.

After spending enough time on the battlefield, Ryan has been able to distinguish the roar of bombers and fighter planes. Some soldiers even got out of their tanks and waved their hats at the fighters and bombers in the sky that were entering the combat zone.

The battle was about to break out, but Ryan didn't feel anything to be nervous or anxious about.

After experiencing so many battles, and even brushing against death a few times, he is no longer as afraid of battles and death as he was at the beginning.

No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the first time?

You know, he really almost died at that time!

When they were not far from the city, suddenly there was a harsh scream in the air, and the commander's order came from the communication device in the tank.

He asked all tanks to disperse and avoid.

This is the enemy's artillery at work. The Pengeos have placed a large number of howitzers in the city. They have discovered the torrent of federal steel. This is just a normal exchange of fire.

In the observation port, many fighter jets also rose over the city, and the air battle was the first to break out!

This is the cruelest part of war. Almost all soldiers know what they are going to face.

But they still rushed towards the battlefield so numbly, without any hesitation or concern.

Sometimes some people think that the military exploits and oppresses humanity, and it is not unreasonable.

Planes continued to fall in the sky during the battle. This federal attack came quickly, without much warning, and in extremely large numbers.

The bombers had entered the edge of the city, and the commander of the ground forces issued a charge order amidst the roar of artillery fire.

Ryan glanced at the tank not far away that had completely stopped, with the entire turret sunk, and observed three seconds of silence.

It seemed that the people inside would definitely not survive, and the probability of being hit by frontal shelling on the turret was really very small.

During the entire rush to the city, about eleven or twelve tanks lost power and stopped in place. This was already considered a miracle.

The first round of bombing had ended and the tanks began to attack.

The city of Nagaril... except for the core business circle, is basically just bungalows.

Moreover, there are very few cement and steel structures in this kind of bungalows, which also gives great convenience to the tank troops. They directly crush the periphery of the city and launch attacks on the core area of ​​the city.

The bombed city is full of injured people, including Nagali people and Pendeo people. What Ryan has to do is to help these people relieve their pain!

Tanks are too valuable and useful in ground wars. So far, they have not encountered any decent opponents.

Even if some lightly armored armored vehicles appear, they are not enough for tanks to hit them with one shot.

However, I heard that the Pengeo Empire has also completed their first tank design and is in production. Maybe they will have opponents before long.

In the words of the commander, "Xia Tian helped these idiots."

This battle was actually a little easier than expected. By three o'clock in the afternoon, Pengeo's main force in the city realized that it was impossible to retake the city and immediately began to evacuate.

After about six hours of fighting, the city was recaptured from the Pengeos by the Federals!

The subsequent ground infantry units began to clear out the last participating enemy troops. Some enemies may have been injured and were unable to follow the troops to evacuate. They were placed in various corners.

These people are deadly dangers, so ground troops need to clear them out as well.

The occasional sporadic sounds represent the departure of living lives.

After the battle, Ryan climbed out of the tank. He didn't know how many people he had killed with his own hands this time. He only knew that he survived again.

The strong cigarette made him realize the beauty of life. He stood on the edge of an open space, and people kept being brought over and then shot.

Not far away, many Nagali people were digging pits. These corpses would eventually be burned and buried, otherwise problems would definitely arise.

The weather in Nagaril is so hot now that an outbreak of plague would not be a good thing for anyone.

As the gunfire suddenly rang out and ended suddenly, more than a dozen Pengeo and local people fell in a pool of blood.

During cleanup operations late in the battle, the Federals discovered some natives working for the Pengeos.

If it's just a simple job, then they don't need to be sent here.

Those people hid the soldiers and wounded who Pengio had no time to evacuate.

It may be for money, or it may be for other reasons. In short, they have become the accomplices of the Pengeo people.

This is something the federal government cannot tolerate and must give them severe punishment, such as death.

When the next group of people was brought in, two middle-aged Nagaril men suddenly started struggling. They ran away quickly, but they were still hit by two shots.

The two people were dragged back by the locals, leaving two bright red traces on the ground.

In the evening, the pit was dug and they piled many things for burning at the bottom of the pit.

Kerosene, wood, or something else, when the fire was lit, the bodies were thrown in one after another.

The bodies were placed on burning logs and burned, and soon Ryan had to hold his nose and run away.

It stinks.

The smell of burnt flesh was so strong that it choked your nose.

The fire burned until very late, and when Ryan came back the next morning, someone had already started filling in the soil.

Most of those inside were burned to ashes.

But right next to this pit, someone has begun to dig a hole. Obviously, some people still have to be cleared out.

The victory of the local war was like a clarion call. The Federation's First and Second Fleets located in the northern port of Nagaril seemed to be preparing to move...
