Chapter 555 Chapter 556 New Commander

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

Durando is such a person. His leather shoes are always meticulous, his military uniforms are always ironed very neatly, and his white hair is always taken care of everyday all is no exception. Even the wrinkles on his face seem to be absolutely symmetrical.

He never smiles sideways, never judges anyone behind his back, and he walks with a military cap just like the etiquette students taught in the military academy.

This general, who graduated from the old-fashioned aristocratic military school, has a good education, has used the knowledge magic ball, and has studied in the Alanhill Imperial Family Military Academy for a year, he does things carefully and has never made any mistakes. .

As an old nobleman, he is unlikely to stand out in the Alanhill system, but with the expansion of Alanhill, there is a shortage of talents. day.

The most representative one may be the famous Old General Medeas who played in the Battle of Ferry City. He is now a representative figure among the veterans and an idol admired by the old aristocratic officers.

The commander of the 15th Army Group, who succeeded Old General Mediyas, was the same general from the old aristocratic circle, General Durando appointed by Chris.

At 3:17 in the morning, the Old General, who had an eye for everything, opened his eyes and sat up from the bed of his command.

When he went to bed yesterday, the 15th Army Group was fully mobilized, and the entire Ferry City had entered a state of level 1 combat readiness.

The navy battleship has completely left the port anchorage, and the army troops have also entered the front line 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 went to sleep on time at nine o'clock.

He even instructed his adjutant not to disturb anything except the Emperor Your Majesty 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 had approached the coastline.

Still putting on his military uniform in an orderly manner, he carefully adjusted his collar and cuffs in front of the mirror, and after confirming that he was dressed properly, the commander pushed open the door of his room.

Outside the door, anxious corps commanders were waiting there, all of them looking at General Durando who pushed the door out.

Durando was not surprised to see these people waiting here. He was slightly nod, sorry 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 physical strength, I slept for a while, and I'm very sorry."

The generals waiting here are not here to hear his apologies, they are looking for the commander for the latest War Section arrangement. Seeing Durando coming out, he hurriedly asked in unison: "General, does the battle plan need a final change?"

"Everything is going according to the original plan! Gentlemen, this is just an attack by the devil, Why are you so flustered?" Durando frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his subordinates.

His words made everyone even more nervous - because this General Durando seemed to be an embroidered pillow with no real talent at all.

Because since the general took office, he has only been focusing on the basic training of the troops, but he has not had any opinions of his own on the previous defense plan, nor has he proposed any amendments.

In other words, he seems to be a transparent person who has not issued any orders of his own except for dressing up and going out to supervise the training of the army every day.

Since he took office, the General Headquarters of the 15th Army seems to have become a megaphone, only issuing orders like "General Staff Order", "General Headquarters Order", "Your Majesty Order" "For such a forwarding order, the "15th Army General Headquarters Order" has never been issued...

The microphone, the answering bug, the flower shelf, and the straw bag general, these are all foreign words given to General Durando by the following people. No. As a result, the general seemed to be fine, and turned a deaf ear to these slander and criticism.

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 did not have any opinions of his own, and he still used the one formulated more than a year ago. anti-landing operations plan.

However, what was different from the past was that General Durando explained his order this time, as if he hoped that his subordinates could implement his War Section more firmly.

Just listen to him say to these generals: "Gentlemen! The battle plan was drawn up by General Medeas, and I checked the entire anti-landing battle plan on my first day in office."

"General Medeas is stable, and his battle plan is also very reasonable. As a commander, there is absolutely no need for me to change the already perfect battle plan." He paused after saying this. .

After a pause, he said while pointing to himself: "So, all I can do is to supervise your daily training, so that you can better execute General Medeas's operations when needed. Planning...that's all."

"Now, don't panic, because you've practiced what's going to happen today hundreds of times! What you have to do is to make these familiar ones less familiar. The content of , just repeat it again!" He walked to his chief of staff and nodded slightly. "And what I have to do now is to fine-tune the entire War Section according to the changes of the enemy.

"I don't want you to have any hesitation in carrying out the established battle plan, nor do I want you to have any hesitation in carrying out my orders!" His eyes suddenly became sharp as knives, sweeping away Straightforward officers past the involuntarily station.

Seeing that they were all serious, Durando nodded slightly with satisfaction: "He then raised his arms and gave a military salute, even if you have already won a big victory, you must immediately retreat. Turn back! When you are ordered to attack, even if you are the only one left, jump out of the trenches and move forward! When you are ordered to stay on the ground, you can only die there!"

"Yes !" All the officers seemed to have truly known the general Durando on this day, standing at attention and chin up.

"Very good! Go! Go back to your posts! Wait for the demons to set foot on the shoreline!" Durando adjusted the angle of his military cap, and then strode out of the room first.

After a year of reinforcement, the defense line of Ferry City has been strengthened to a terrifying level. In order to prevent the damage of the tsunami, Alanhill, which has an amazing cement production, built a 90-kilometer-long sea on both sides of Ferry City. embankment.

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

Before Medeas was transferred from the 15th Army, he had drawn up a whole set of operational plans for attacking the enemy landed at sea around the new line of defense.

In line with this plan, the entire seawall was built with full consideration of various War Sections.

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

In addition, in front of the seawall, is the original abandoned salt field. These salt pans have been completely abandoned after the last war, so they have also been converted into the deadly Defensive Array.

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

General Durando did not make any changes after taking over this line of defense, but continued to build this line of defense according to the original plan.

He every day all wants to inspect the construction progress of the defense line, and every day all wants to inquire about the training situation of the troops stationed in the defense line.

Now, his actions of Xiao Gui and Cao Sui finally played their due role. The 100,000 troops who entered the line of defense were very familiar with the line of defense where they were located, and were very clear about every detail of the battle.

At the feet of the soldiers were ammunition reserves that had been prepared for a long time, and above their heads were fortified bunkers and concealment nets.

These soldiers are blessed with powerful automatic weapons, and dwarf troops fill them. Behind them are the garrison positions of the armored troops, and on the reverse slope of the dyke are hundreds of T-72 tanks that are ready for battle.

Compared to the previous Battle of Ferry City, Alanhill's armored units have shedding body, exchanging bones. They have already eliminated the M4 tanks and equipped them with all-in-one T-72 main battle tanks.

Supporting these tanks are hundreds of towed 155mm howitzers - according to the defense mission of the 15th Army Group, this unit has no priority to equip self-propelled howitzers because this unit is rarely mobile , they are there to guard Ferry City, guard Mayne and Serris.

The sky is not yet bright, and the troops that have entered the formation are all ready for battle. The soldiers leaning against the walls of the trenches holding their weapons are closing their eyes and resting as ordered, and the radar antenna responsible for monitoring the entire battlefield is slowly turning in the early morning sea breeze.

Everything is quiet, everyone is waiting, waiting for the moment of Eastern Sunrise.
