Why would I join the army if I can’t drive a Gundam!

Chapter 20: Youth is the time to make mistakes!

"It's just as I expected!"

Looking at the trajectory of Red Dragon No. 1, Dozle showed a satisfied smile, "I knew it would be like this." Knowing that the federal army would most likely use a pincer attack, he had laid a minefield here long ago.

Although it is just a simulated minefield on the map, once the flanking troops enter it, they will suffer losses, and even tanks may be lost there.

However, just as the arrow was about to touch the minefield, the blue arrow suddenly changed direction.

"?"

Dozle suddenly paused while holding the wine glass, then stared at the electronic screen with wide eyes.

"Discovered?"

"No, it shouldn't!"

"Sir, they are not flanking the left flank, but are continuing to advance as if they are going up the mountain!"

"what?"

Now, it was Dozle's turn to be surprised.

"Who is the commander of this federal army?"

Soon a document was delivered to Dozle.

"Macarius Crinius?"

Dozle turned to look at Vice Admiral King, who looked as if he had known this for a long time, and then he suddenly realized.

"This is?"

"The younger generation in the family just has more ideas!"

"That's a lot of ideas, sir. I've been to that hill before, and it's impossible for armored vehicles to reach it!"

Dozle was extremely confident. He was a down-to-earth soldier. He had actually gone there to check before the exercise. How could he not know whether tanks could pass through there?

"Then we have nothing to argue about, young man. Just keep watching!"

To be honest, at this moment, Macharius was quite glad that he was driving an M61A2 tank. The tank, which had been replaced with a new power pack, could still move forward on this nearly fifty-degree slope. This was all thanks to the federal scientific and technological workers. At this moment, they had already crossed nearly half of the road, but the time spent was less than one-third of the planned time. However, as the road behind became more and more difficult, the time spent on the tank's advancement would only be longer than the previous one.

The accompanying infantrymen were dumbfounded at this moment. The tank, which seemed extremely heavy to them, was now like a nimble pony in the hands of the young tank commander. In the dense forest, between the narrow trees, the tank moved around. Although it scraped countless leaves and crushed a lot of moss, it did not even touch the branches of the trees.

"I bet those Zeon guys never thought we'd come through here!"

"Yeah, just ask this, who can do it!"

While the flanking team was advancing according to plan, the main force in the front also began to move under John's command. The soldiers quickly deployed into battle formation and adjusted various weapons until 0745:.

"Red Dragon, forward!"

Andre, who was in charge of the command, released the intercom, and the tank under him rushed up the hillside in front of him like a galloping buffalo.

"Fire!" Although the vehicle had not yet stopped, Andre had already locked onto the two targets in front of him with the fire control and pressed the fire button. After the tank's gun barrel was raised to the firing position as the vehicle body moved, it automatically fired the shells.

Then, a target with the same projected area as the machine gun bunker was hit by a marking bullet, and the blue dye exploded, changing the color of the target.

After completing the firing, the turret automatically turned to another target according to the direction locked by the fire control, and then another bunker was destroyed.

During this process, Red Dragon II remained in motion. After the tank rushed up the hill, it began to change direction. After the shooting was completed, the driver drove the vehicle back down the hill.

The same was true for Red Dragon No. 3 and Red Dragon No. 4. The three tanks attacked from different directions at the same time, and after completing the attack, they quickly withdrew from the target.

"Defensive position target lost, failed to hit the enemy tank!"

Soon, the director team gave the assessment results. All the first-line anti-tank firepower on the Zeon position was destroyed. Afterwards, the three tanks continued to do the same, but their forward positions were different. Andre prepared a full six attack positions for others. After each attack, the tanks would switch starting points irregularly.

"Target lost, infantry failed to hit enemy tanks!"

In just a moment, the infantry units at the fire support point of the Zeon front-line position were completely wiped out under the continuous bombardment of the twin 150mm artillery. At the same time, the infantry of the Federation Army were also in action. The soldiers held their rifles tightly and, with the cover of the tanks, approached the defensive positions. Then they used the detonating rocket backpacks on their backs to launch bomb disposal cords. This weapon could clear a road of dozens of meters in the minefield in one breath, and could also send the barbed wire and other messy things blocking the road into the sky.

In this way, the path of attack is opened, and tanks can cooperate with infantry to quickly cut into the front-line positions.

"That's great coordination, but it's useless. We've deployed mortar positions and mobile missile launchers in the rear. Once they reach the front line, they'll be suppressed and unable to advance unless the other end of the pincer attack can help them clear the fire! But where is their other wave of troops?"

"Sir, they're coming up the mountain!"

"what?"

"I'll switch to the main screen for you!"

Then, a vehicle-mounted perspective was projected onto the electronic screen. On the screen, a tank was roaring and climbing up the hillside. In front of the tank were two extremely thick cables. One end of them was on the mountain, twisting a whole row of thick trees, while the other end was on the winch at the rear of the tank, being continuously tightened.

At this time, less than 27 minutes had passed, and Red Dragon No. was only a few dozen meters away from the top of the mountain!
After crossing the hill, he can launch a high-altitude fire attack on the entire Zeon position!

"How can this be?"

Dozle stood up in surprise, and even knocked over the wine glass on the table because of the large amplitude of his movement.

But he had no time to clean up, so he just stood there, watching the Type 61 tank roar over the hill little by little.

Next, he no longer needs to watch!
The defensive position that was thought to be able to hold off the federal army for at least a day and inflict more than 20 percent damage on them is now destroyed!
On the flank where Red Dragon One was located, the Zeon army had no weapons that could hit it. The only remaining missile launchers were immediately destroyed by Red Dragon One with extremely accurate and rapid artillery fire. The latter was like eating a sushi buffet, one shot after another, without any pause. Until the artillery fire stopped, all the defense facilities deployed by the Zeon army there had been destroyed without a single one left.

"hehe!"

Pushing away the towel brought by the orderly, Dozle sat down on the chair, then looked at Lieutenant General Jin with a wry smile.

"It seems that I was wrong this time. After the exercise, I must ask your junior for advice!"

"It's okay, young man. It's normal to make mistakes. After all, youth is the time to make mistakes. Now, we can notify the Red Team to start the action!"

"Of course! Connect me to the Red Command!"
