"Holy crap, what the hell is going on? Can anyone tell me why?"

Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong was indeed like an irritable tiger at this time, roaring in the temporary command post. The surrounding mid-level commanders and staff members were silent and confused.

Overnight, all the tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, transport vehicles, and helicopters of the air assault brigade of Hu Shengsong's army lay dormant.

According to the driver and pilot, all the electronic equipment was burned out by the high-intensity current. Without the electronic starting device, these advanced equipment that relied on electronic ignition to start were lying on the ground motionless like turtles.

The 46th Group Army, with its mouth wide open, its fangs spitting out, and armed to the teeth, became a drowned dog with its claws pulled out and losing its combat effectiveness, and was left to be slaughtered.

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong was a general. After being furious, he quickly took remedial measures.

First let the mechanical maintenance technicians find out the cause immediately.

Such a large-scale failure is definitely not caused by man, and there must be a reason.

On the night when the solar storm broke out, Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong and others also saw the beautiful aurora. Of course, at that time, everyone did not know that it was an aurora phenomenon, because according to common sense, auroras can only be seen in the high latitudes of the North and South Poles.

But as the mechanics reported the situation, they found that the electronic equipment of these weapons and equipment were almost all broken down by high-energy electron flow, which made them think of a weapon, an electromagnetic bomb.

On the battlefield, electromagnetic bombs are essentially a strong electromagnetic field that can cause damage to electronic weapon systems and seriously interfere with wireless communications.

Electromagnetic bombs in the previous life were extremely precious bombs. One bomb was worth at least tens of thousands of dollars. Even on the international battlefield, few troops used electromagnetic bombs, and they were generally used in tactical applications, because such bombs were The power of the bomb is too small and the duration is still too short.

Such large-scale destruction, coupled with the aurora phenomenon seen at night, finally led Hu Shengsong to conclude that a solar storm broke out on the earth, and the explosion of sunspots destroyed all the electronic equipment of the group army.

Communication failure, electronic start failure, command and control system failure, all equipment controlled by computers, microcontrollers, and electronic start, all failed.

Everything has entered the mechanical age.

Hu Shengsong completely fell into a state of madness and ran away in the command post. He was in a terrible mood.

Relying on the fully mechanized armored mobile combat brigade of the group army, they are full of joy and lofty aspirations. They want to go to West Asia to create great achievements, and at least become a king of West Asia.

It's a pity that the solar storm that came suddenly without any warning made everything come to nothing and caused heavy losses. It's a pity that those advanced T-9 tanks, Wuzhi Shi.

Fortunately, the solar storm broke out at night, otherwise precious pilots and helicopters would have been lost.

The army group is hunkered down collectively, and the main force is in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where the people's customs are fierce.

I remember that both the US military and the former Soviet Union suffered heavy losses from the guerrillas here. Tens of thousands of modern troops armed to the teeth were defeated, not to mention the "infantry" force in their hands now without any mobility.

Moreover, his own army relies on mechanization. Except for the 20,000 infantrymen, the rest are tank troops and armored transport troops. If they are turned into infantry, their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

What to do next? Returning to India to join Commander Zhang Yaoyang and relying on the powerful Chengdu Military Region is also a good choice, with the mountains at your back so you can enjoy the cool weather.

But Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong's inherent stubborn military character determined that Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong would never back down.

There are only two words in the dictionary of a real soldier: advance.

Now that we have arrived in Afghanistan, we need to put down roots here, lay a solid foundation, and then take another path.

Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong slowly calmed down and turned his attention to the military map, scanning the West Asian region.

At the same time, an order was issued: the entire army was on alert to prevent civilians from resisting harassment by the guerrillas.

There is no international friendship now. Speaking of which, this team of ours is actually no different from the US military and Russian army in the previous life. They are out-and-out invaders.

Invaders will always face resistance from the natives. This is an eternal truth.

In addition, Hu Shengsong also ordered the mechanical maintenance department to repair and restore the electronic equipment as soon as possible. If it cannot be restored, they must do everything possible to restore mechanical operation. After all, tanks and combat vehicles still have manual operation conversion systems.

It has to be said that the maintenance departments of these armies are quite experienced and combat effective. In the next month, when the maintenance department personnel could not repair the electronic equipment, they used the remaining spare parts to replace the electronic equipment of the tanks. Dismantle the equipment one by one.

A simple electronic ignition device was made to start the diesel engine again, and the mobility of these tanks was restored. However, because they relied on manual operation, the mobility of tanks and tanks, and the operability of artillery were still greatly reduced.

However, there was no overall victory, and at least a certain amount of combat effectiveness was restored.

At that time, the 46th Army had submachine guns and mortars in its hands, heavy machine guns on its tanks, tanks that could barely rotate and maneuver, and self-propelled artillery.

However, the helicopter completely lost its function, and the mechanics reluctantly disassembled the helicopter's cannon and preserved it.

Hundreds of helicopters were dumped on the ground of Afghanistan, slowly turning into a pile of steel garbage in the wind and rain.

Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, but when he thought about it again, the power of this solar storm was so powerful that the whole world had suffered a major blow. He still had 50,000 troops on hand, which was considered a huge force in West Asia. 's army.

There will definitely be a place for me, Hu Shengsong, in West Asia.

Lieutenant General Hu Shengsong looked ferocious and cast his gaze fiercely on the map of West Asia.

The group army currently does not have the ability to maneuver, and it needs to accumulate strength for further development. The next step is to find a port city as a garrison and development base. It must be able to go north and south to Saudi Arabia, where oil is produced. Only by mastering oil can we control the world.

Hu Shengsong's eyes wandered around the map and finally focused on Bandar Abbas Port in southern Iran.

Located on the north side of the Strait of Hormuz on the southern coast of Iran, it is the main port in southern Iran. Outside the port, there is Qeshm Island and Hormuz Island as a barrier, making it a natural harbor.
