372 interference
Lieutenant General Durando is just an ordinary general, and he doesn't have much reputation in the Irlanhill Empire. However, he has a special identity, that is, he is the first mage commander in the Veronsa region to work for the Elanhill Empire.
Originally, Chris planned for him to lead a magical army to fight in all directions, but later due to the advancement of technology, the Iran Hill Empire abandoned the plan of a pure magician army, and Lieutenant General Durando has been serving in the staff department, and there is no decent transfer and promotion.
It stands to reason that his military rank is not low, and this is also how Chris takes care of Veronza's official system. However, this time, Chris handed over the highly decorated 15th Army to Durando, obviously to give the magician some chances.
There are too many generals at Chris's disposal, and this is also a signal to others: if you can't, then I'll change people!
Another tragedy was for Modryel, who had won a battle in the port of Osa, but had not even seen a serious enemy - the demon had not attacked Osa, but had gone to the island of Pilipi, and once again Mordryel had been transferred without seeing the enemy.
It seems to have become a curse for Modryel, and no battles broke out wherever he went - the soldiers liked such commanders, so Modryel had a nickname that he himself very disliked: "General Peace." ”
……
On the Western Front, in the armored unit of Iran Hill, which is storming to the southwest, inside an M4 tank, the commander is talking to his company commander: "The reconnaissance force said that the puppet troops are active in this area, and we need more infantry cover!" ”
On the radio, the voice of the commander of this tank company came, and his tone was full of laziness: "Pay attention to the surroundings, we don't have so many soldiers to cover, so we can only rely on ourselves." ”
They have advanced almost 170 kilometers all the way forward, and although the puppet empire will still keep counterattacking and trying to stabilize their positions, the main force of Elanhill has never stopped its own pace.
Army Group 1 had already entered Longsher, and fierce street fighting was underway, with reinforcements from the puppet empire attempting to recapture their lost defensive positions, only to be routed by Erlanhill's flanks.
The battle was very stalemate, so both sides also put in reserves. The armored force in front of him was actually the roundabout battle that Iran Hill threw into the front line and began to flank and encircle Ronschel.
"Watch out for those distant hillsides, maybe the puppet soldiers' defensive positions are over there." Leaning out halfway, the company commander put down his binoculars and reminded his subordinates: "Pay attention to all suspicious questions!" Report the situation immediately. ”
"Understood!" The captain of the tank at the head pressed the intercom and replied happily. Their athletic warfare is countless times more clever than the puppet empire's field warfare, so they have won the last few encounters.
They were in a very good mood and built up their confidence. Although this was their first time in the battle, they performed very well and received many rewards from their superiors.
The armored forces of Iran Hill are very strong, and the strongest thing is that they can communicate with each other through radio and confirm a lot of information, which is also the key to the strength of the Earth army.
As a matter of fact, modern warfare is fought on the information communication network that the two sides have painstakingly managed. If one side's communication network is paralyzed by the other, then that side loses the entire war.
To reassure everyone, since the birth of the Irlanhill Empire, their communication system has been reliable, effective, and undisturbed by the enemy. Therefore, the grassroots officers and soldiers of Irlanhill can communicate in time and inform each other of the battlefield situation, which is one of the main reasons why the army of the Irlanhill Empire is strong on the battlefield.
"Strange." While the commanders were talking to each other on the radio, an electromechanical officer sitting next to the tank driver frowned: "There is interference. ”
This is a very strange thing, Iran Hill's radio equipment is very reliable, and under normal circumstances, interference is only the result of one's own high-power radio stations interfering with each other.
Therefore, he didn't care, just adjusted the channel, switched to the backup channel, checked the radio communication machine next to him, and confirmed whether the position of the switch on it had changed because of the vibration.
This is his duty, and all that remains is to operate the heading machine gun in front of the tank and kill the enemies who try to attack the front of the tank.
"I heard it too, there's an electric tone in the channel! Mechanical, adjust it. The commander put his hand on the earphone hanging on his ear, and also frowned: "Car No. 1!" I'm car number 3! Can you hear me? Confirm! ”
He pressed the throat intercom to his company commander to confirm that his communication channel was clear, but all he heard was the irritating sound of electricity in his ears.
"Damn it! Car No. 1! I'm car number 3! Back! Back! After tapping his headphones twice, the commander of car No. 3 finally couldn't stand the feeling of poor communication.
"Hurry up and fix the communication channel!" He depressedly lifted the hatch above his head, poked his head out, and looked in the direction of his company commander's car. At the same time, a muffled sound was heard, as if something had exploded.
In the next second, the commander, who leaned out of his body, saw a burning M4 tank, paralyzed on the way forward. Flames danced from the tank, and smoke erupted from the tank's mutilation, obscuring most of the view.
"Hell!" Subconsciously, he retracted his head, and then followed closely, and habitually pressed the throat intercom: "Car No. 1 was hit!" Car No. 1 exploded! Damn it! ”
After shouting, he realized that his communicator seemed to be broken, and he couldn't contact the friendly tanks behind him.
"See where the attack is coming from?" He switched the channel, and the calls in the car were wired, so there was no need to worry about interference. He finally waited for a response.
The electromechanical officer, who was debugging the radio equipment, immediately replied: "Didn't see anything!" There is no problem with the equipment! It's not that the equipment is broken! There is interference! Strong distraction! ”
As soon as he confirmed, a shell hit the front armor plate of their M4 tank.
The powerful blow shook the faces of everyone in the tank - although it did not penetrate the heavy armor steel plate, it also startled everyone in the car.
"The enemy is firing! I don't see the enemy! Reversing! Reversing! Come on! The commander who had participated in the battle was still very experienced, and when he came to his senses, he ordered loudly: "Get out of here!" Don't get beaten here! Let's get out of here! ”
Hearing his command, the driver immediately reversed, and the reliable performance of the M4 tank made it react immediately, the tracks began to roll back, and the bulky hull began to move backwards.
"Turn right a bit! Avoid car number 1! It's in the way! I can't see anything! Putting his eyes in front of the periscope and observing the surroundings little by little, the commander found that most of his vision was obscured by the smoke from the car behind him.
He didn't see where the enemy was, nor did he find out where the attack just now came from.
Judging from the fact that the opponent's attack hit the front armor plate, it can be easily judged that the opponent should be about 10 to 14 o'clock in front of the road. However, this direction is also a bit wide, and with the periscope on the M4 tank alone, it is still impossible to immediately detect the enemy.
"Bang!" Another shell hit the front armor of this M4 tank, leaving a noticeable dimple in it. The shell still did not penetrate the armor of the M4 tank, and the M4 tank, which was reversing on the road, was still reversing.
It was reversing a little off the rails, so it quickly avoided the wreckage of Car 1 and retreated under the roadbed on one side.
It was at this time that the third shell also hit the turret of this M4 tank. Luckily, none of the three shells penetrated the M4, which calmed the minds of the crew, who were almost alone.
In fact, they didn't know that they were attacked by the 30 mm caliber guns on top of the puppet tanks, which were actually outdated for a long time and had no ability to penetrate the M4 tanks, which had very heavy frontal armor.
Perhaps the designers of the M4 tank would not have thought that the M4 tank, which could be described as vulnerable in the face of powerful enemies such as the German Tiger tank and the Leopard tank on the battlefield on the earth, would be considered "very heavy" in armor on the battlefield of another world......
"You guessed it...... The enemy is on the other side! 13 o'clock, or 14 o'clock! The commander, who had made the right bet, breathed a sigh of relief and began to carefully observe the anticlines in the distance through the periscope.
Then, he saw a very good hidden puppet tank, with only one turret exposed, firing non-stop at the M4 tanks that were lying across the road.
The commander of car No. 3 heard another explosion, but because of the thick smoke, he couldn't see the explosion at all - he didn't dare to poke his head out, so he could only honestly follow the training and take the most correct measures.
"Armor-piercing shell loading!" The first thing he thought about was to shoot back - on the battlefield, fighting back is always the most important thing. Only by destroying the enemy can you better protect yourself.
Of course, at the same time, he also loudly reminded his mechanical and electrical staff to hurry up and repair the vital communication equipment: "Reply to the communication!" Otherwise, we would be no different from the blind. ”
"I'm trying! Bastard! It's not a machine problem, it's interference! Strong distraction! The mechanic replied loudly and desperately as he tapped on the equipment beside him.
