At dawn, the main force of the Tang Army began a three-dimensional landing operation. This time they did not have to sneak ashore, as various landing craft covered the entire sea surface.
Although the dwarves desperately fired at the beachhead occupied by the Tang Army in an attempt to interfere with the Tang Army's landing, they were unable to do so in terms of scale and accuracy.
The Tang Army's ships quickly approached the beach despite light fire, and then the forward hatch of the landing craft was lowered, and the crowded Tang Army soldiers rushed to the coast.
Originally, they thought that what was waiting for them would be a dense rain of bullets from the enemy, and tracer bullets would sweep past their faces like raindrops.
But now they were surprised to find that they were greeted by soldiers directing traffic, as well as various supplies and personnel already piled on the beach.
"Go left! Go left! Get out of the way on the right! That's the heavy equipment landing site over there!" A soldier who landed first fearfully shouted to the people who had just disembarked. He was mainly worried that a stray bullet would fly over and hit him.
where he stood.
Just behind him were food boxes piled haphazardly, some of which had even been opened, and someone had taken some away.
On the beach on the other side, a hovercraft roared onto the beach. In everyone's shocked eyes, it opened the front hatch and let a Type 96 main battle tank rush down from its belly.
Next to it is a tank landing ship. It has a larger carrying capacity, but it is filled with wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. They drive out one after another and are crowded on the beach. They look like targets.
If the enemies of the Tang Army were so crowded together, then they would definitely learn what a covering fire attack was. However, since the Tang Army had already suppressed most of the opponent's firepower, doing so did not seem to be very dangerous.
There was nothing that could be done about it. There were so many landing troops of the Tang Army that they had to crowd on the beach and spend time evacuating.
Overhead, a Black Hawk helicopter was hovering, allowing the soldiers on it to slide down the rope to the ground one by one. Originally, such an assault was planned to be carried out on the enemy's position. It was a storm attack after the special forces failed to conduct a night surprise attack.
tactics.
Everything was useless now, so we just threw the soldiers who had been training for rappelling for a long time on the relatively empty beach so casually.
The soldiers who landed began to look for their own troops and got into a mess with the Marines who came ashore. Just as the chaos continued, a loud noise suddenly stopped all the noise for a moment.
Everyone looked towards the direction where the loud noise came from, and then they saw a 155 self-propelled howitzer with its barrel raised, and white smoke spitting out from the muzzle.
Immediately afterwards, a second loud noise came, and another self-propelled howitzer of the same model also opened fire. At this time, the soldiers who came ashore recalled that they were here to fight.
"Let your people disperse! Bastard! If the dwarf fires a cannon at random, more than a dozen people will die on the beach!" A Marine Corps leader who had just landed on the beach grabbed the collar of one of his battalion commanders and pointed at the chaotic
the crowd ordered.
Originally, if there was no need to fight, the Tang Army's progress should be faster. However, because everyone judged that they would encounter serious resistance, they did not look at the backup plan for a rapid advance in detail.
"Sir! I have asked the 2nd Battalion to move to the north! But there is already a company of soldiers from the 2nd Regiment over there." The commander of the 2nd Battalion pointed at the direction of his troops' advance and said.
"Then let them move! Give up their position! You rush over immediately! Command the 2nd Battalion to attack! Try to expand the position. We have too many people. If this continues, there will be no place for the follow-up troops to go ashore!"
While the regiment leader was speaking, the temporary artillery position was still firing continuously.
So he had to speak very loudly and have to avoid armored vehicles driving past him when giving orders.
The armored troops of the Tang Army were moving quickly towards the frontal battlefield after landing ashore. They had to withstand the dwarf counterattacks and seize more trenches and fortifications.
The gaps in the barbed wire that had been cut open last night were filled with densely packed Tang Army soldiers queuing up. They were carrying their own backpacks, holding rifles pulled out of plastic bags, and wearing composite helmets that looked heavy but were extremely light.
, watching the smoke rising in the distance as if watching the excitement.
Groups of armed helicopters passed over the landing site of the Tang Army. No one knew where they were going. Everyone knew that they would not return until they exhausted all the ammunition they carried.
There are more and more infantry fighting vehicles that can wade ashore. The soldiers who board such infantry fighting vehicles ashore do not get off the vehicle, but directly ride on the tank and start to advance deeper into the battlefield.
They had to make room for the follow-up troops as soon as possible, because behind them, the ships floating on the sea were still endless as far as the eye could see.
The radio is full of various communication sounds. The engineers are organizing the construction of floating docks to allow larger ships to dock and unload cargo; the special forces are busy handing over tasks to the infantry who have come ashore. They are not interested in a war of attrition.
A waste of their own strength; the armored forces are busy organizing a new round of attacks so that the landing site will no longer be covered by the enemy's small-caliber artillery as soon as possible.
The medical soldiers are busy building a large enough field hospital. The soldiers fighting at night have many wounded people who urgently need their treatment. The helicopter unit is coordinating to drop more soldiers, but it is not easy to find an open space.
matter.
On the sea, landing craft full of soldiers also need coordination. The soldiers who have not yet landed are still very nervous. They don't know what kind of danger they will encounter on the beach.
Further away, on the fire support warship, large-caliber artillery was roaring continuously. They wanted to pour the shells onto the enemy's position as accurately as possible based on the coordinates sent by the communications troops.
Behind these fire support warships, a large amphibious landing fleet is taking off more helicopters so that more soldiers can land ashore as soon as possible.
In the sea area dozens of kilometers behind the amphibious landing ship, among the patrolling destroyers, a huge aircraft carrier like an island was ejecting and taking off planes one after another. The engines of Yinglong fighter jets roared and flew towards the steel barrier, with Thunderbolts mounted under the wings.
