Chapter 556: New commander

Some people are born with an aristocratic aura. Even if they just stand there, they will feel completely different, as if they are more particular and respectable than others.

Durando is such a type of person. His leather shoes are always meticulous, his military uniforms are always ironed very stiff, and his gray hair is taken care of every day. There is no exception, and even the wrinkles on his face seem to be It is absolutely symmetrical.

He never slanted his mouth and smiled. He never judged anyone behind his back. He walked with his military cap just like the manners students taught in the military academy.

This general who graduated from the old-style aristocratic military school, has a good education, has used the magic ball of knowledge, and has studied at the Royal Military Academy in Allan Hill for a year, has done everything in a straightforward manner and has never seen 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. Generals like him have finally waited for his early days. .

The most representative one is probably the famous old general Medias in the Battle of Ferry City. He is now a representative of the veterans and an idol respected by the old noble officers.

It was this general who also came from the old aristocratic circle, General Durando, who was appointed by Christian, who replaced the old general Medias and commanded the 15th Army Group.

At 3:17 in the morning, the old general, who had a sense of everything, opened his eyes for the first time, and sat up on the bed of his command 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 units have also entered the first line on standby.

When 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 at nine o'clock on time.

He even ordered his adjutant to leave him alone except for the emperor and the marshal.

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

He still put on his military uniform in an orderly manner, and carefully arranged his collar and cuffs in the mirror. After confirming that his clothes were very decent, the commander pushed open the door of his room.

Outside the door, anxious military-level commanders were waiting there, and they all looked at General Durando as they opened the door.

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

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

"Everything went 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 men.

His words made everyone more nervous because this General Durando seemed to be an embroidered pillow, and there was no real talent for learning at all. Mobile terminal::

Since this general took office, he has only been grasping the basic training of the troops, but he has no opinion of his own about the previous defense plan, let alone proposed any amendments.

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

Since he took office, the headquarters of the 15th Army has become like a microphone. It has only issued forwarding orders such as "General Staff Order", "General Command Order", and "Your Majesty Order". Issued the "15th Army Command Command"...

The microphone, the echo worm, the flower shelf, the straw bag general, these are the nicknames given to General Durando by the people below. As a result, the general seemed to be an okay person, and he turned a deaf ear to these slanders.

Until yesterday, the 15th Army had entered a state of full mobilization, and the entire force had entered the planned line of defense. General Durando still did not have any own ideas, and still used the anti-landing combat plan drawn up more than a year ago.

However, unlike the past, General Durando explained his order this time, as if he hoped that his subordinates could carry out his combat deployment more firmly.

He only heard him say to these generals: "Gentlemen! The combat plan was drawn up by General Medeas. I checked the entire anti-landing combat plan on the first day I took office." Computer terminal::/

"General Medias is stable, and the battle plan he drafted is very reasonable. As a commander, there is no need to change the already perfect battle plan." When he said this, he paused.

After a pause, he said while pointing at himself: "So, all I can do is to supervise your serious training every day, and to better implement the battle plan of General Medias when needed... nothing more. "

"Now, there is no need to panic, because you have practiced what is going to happen today hundreds of times! What you have to do is to repeat these familiar and unfamiliar content again!" He walked to himself In front of the chief of staff, he nodded slightly in greeting: "And what I have to do now is to fine-tune my combat deployment according to the changes in the enemy."

"I don't want you to have any hesitation in implementing the established combat plan, nor do you hesitate in implementing my orders!" His eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife, and he swept over involuntarily. The straight officers standing.

Seeing that they were all serious, Durando nodded slightly in satisfaction, then raised his arm to salute: "When you order you to retreat, even if you have won a great victory, you must turn back immediately! When ordering you to attack , Even if there is only one of you left, you must 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 replied as if they had only truly met the Durando General on this day, standing upright, saluting and holding their chins high.

"Very good! Go! Go back to your post! Wait for the devil to set foot on the coast!" Durando adjusted the angle of his military hat, and then strode out the first one of the meteors.

After a year of reinforcement, the defense line of Dukou City has been strengthened to a terrible point. In order to prevent the destruction of the tsunami, Ailan Hill, which produces amazing cement, built a 90-kilometer-long seawall on both sides of Dukou City.

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

Before Medias was transferred from the 15th Army, he drew up a complete set of combat plans for attacking the landed enemy forces at sea around the new line of defense.

In line with this plan, the entire seawall was constructed with full consideration of various combat deployments.

For example, the width of the seawall was constructed with reference to the needs of the howitzer unit. Sufficient width provides a good launch position for artillery, and transport trucks can also transport ammunition on these seawalls comparable to highways.

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

Including the reinforced concrete trenches, as well as the ever-prepared machine gun bunker, which is not a beautiful scenic spot. Since the last ferry battle, it has been constructed in accordance with the Super Fortress line of defense.

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

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

Now, his Xiaogui Cao's methods finally played its due role. The 100,000 troops who entered the line of defense were very familiar with the line of defense they were on, and knew every detail of the battle.

Under the feet of the soldiers are the ammunition reserves that have been prepared for a long time, and above their heads are the fortified bunkers and concealed nets.

These soldiers have powerful automatic weapons blessings, as well as dwarf troops flooding them. Behind them is the defensive position of the armored forces. On the reverse **** of the dam, there are hundreds of T-72 tanks that are ready for battle.

Compared with the previous battle of Ferry City, Ailan Hill's armored forces have undergone a completely new change. They have eliminated the m4 tank and equipped with all the 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 has very little mobility. They are just to guard the ferry city. Mayne and Serris exist.

The sky hasn't brightened yet, and the troops that have entered the position are all ready for battle. The soldiers holding their weapons and leaning against the walls of the trenches are all closing their eyes to rest in accordance with the order. The radar antennas responsible for monitoring the entire battlefield are slowly turning in the early morning sea breeze.

Everything is quiet, everyone is waiting, waiting for the moment of sunrise in the east.
