"We are not here for landing operations..." A young Marine inserted an extra magazine into his tactical vest and asked the commander next to him: "Damn it, why did you come here temporarily off duty?"
?”
"I heard that demons are massacring Shakeburn. We have to go up and drive them away and rescue the civilians." His captain checked his M4 assault rifle with a grenade launcher and replied without raising his head.
I pulled the bolt and heard a crisp sound before returning the bolt to its position.
"Those people support the devil, wouldn't it be better to let them die?" Another soldier hung a grenade on his chest and sorted out the pocket full of magazines.
The deck of the battleship they were on was filled with UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters that had begun to rotate their wings.
Beside them, a landing craft had started its engine, and the huge noise of the hovercraft made people have to speak at the top of their lungs.
This battleship is the only amphibious landing ship carried by the Airan Hill naval fleet this time when it goes south. It can only carry a fully armed Marine Corps regiment when fully loaded.
Because it was not expected to perform a landing mission, it only carried one battalion of soldiers.
After all, this time when going south, the navy was carrying out a southward rescue mission. They were preparing to find ways to transport as many refugees as possible near Shakeburn. Therefore, although this fleet carried more than thirty large transport ships, there was no arrangement
A large number of soldiers accompanied them.
If you bring one more soldier, you will have to bring 3 to 4 fewer refugees when you retreat. This is because soldiers need a lot of logistical supplies and support resources, while refugees can be more grievances and do not need weapons and other support.
However, as soon as the battle on the naval side began, Lawns realized that if his ground troops did not go up to fight, the demons would probably not retreat immediately. The opponent would resist the naval attack of Elland Hill and massacre as many as possible.
Many humans will leave again.
In order to drive away the already chaotic demons, Lawns decided to land his only Marine Corps battalion and occupy the port to cover the retreat of the refugees.
"All soldiers, hurry up and prepare! The fleet is cleaning up the enemy ships in the port, and it will be our turn soon!" A majestic voice sounded on the radio, covering up the noisy mechanical sounds.
"Oh my God! There are no heavy armored vehicles, no tanks... there is no cover at all, and the landing stations are full of enemy port cities... What a joke." A soldier complained with his chin raised and looking at the radio speaker above his head.
road.
They were just a light marine battalion, equipped with only some light weapons. What they were supposed to do this time was to maintain security on the transport ship and suppress enemy troops who might have mixed into the civilian population.
"Shut up! Hurry up and pack your weapons and equipment, we are about to board the ship! A company may have already started taking action!" The company commander of B company came over at this time, hugged the helmet and scolded, and then walked towards
The hovercraft has started.
Inside the hovercraft, several light armored vehicles have been fixed to the deck with ropes, and the crew members are doing final inspections. On the sides of the hovercraft, behind the two automatic cannons used to cover the landing, the gunners are ready.
He gave his thumbs up.
On the deck, the soldiers of Company A had bent over and lowered their heads towards the Black Hawk helicopters that had started their engines. In front of these Black Hawk helicopters, the Cobra helicopter gunships that had also started their engines had slowly taken off from the deck.
Up, the rockets mounted under the wings are majestic and full of momentum.
"Move quickly!" Standing next to a helicopter, the company commander of Company A waved his arms to signal his men to move more cleanly.
Most of these soldiers, carrying weapons and as much ammunition as possible, have climbed onto their helicopters.
The back doors of the two CH-47 transport helicopters over there have begun to close. The cabins are filled with various weapons, including anti-tank rocket launchers and anti-aircraft missiles, mortars directly under the company, and ultra-light terrain vehicles responsible for transporting these.
car.
The moment the tail hatch closed, the CH-47 transport helicopter left the deck, followed the uh-60 helicopters in front that had taken off, and flew into the distance.
Watching the penultimate helicopter take off, the commander of Company A got into the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter next to him, and gave the co-pilot in front a sign to take off. The Black Hawk also took off, and the fuselage
There is a constant slight bump as the engine rotates.
In the not-so-spacious cockpit, there were company communication equipment, signal soldiers, and two super god puppets sitting quietly on the plane without saying a word.
At the same time as these helicopters took off, Eiland Hill's 1st Support Fleet on the sea had been shelling for almost an hour.
They fired thousands of Tomahawk cruise missiles and fired at least 300 rounds of 406mm naval gun shells.
As an old navy man, Lawns insists on attacking his enemies within visual range. Although there is radar fire control, and although he can fire safely at a distance of more than 100 kilometers, he is still willing to beat him at a distance of 20 kilometers.
his goal.
With the support of the advanced fire control system, the 406 mm caliber naval gun has a very high hit accuracy. Every time a salvo is fired, an enemy warship will be hit and detonated. The entire Shakeburn port is now almost a demon warship.
The cemetery.
Lawns, who stood on Cambridge and admired the destruction of his enemy, looked at his adjutant again and asked: "Has the landing force set off?"
"Yes! General! Our landing force has set off, and we have almost cleared the port." The adjutant replied after looking at the scene in front of him.
Within their sight range, the demon warships no longer had many targets to fire on, and more smoke pillars rose up in the city. The sky was filled with Airan Hill's fighter jets, and hordes of demon bats.
And the raging dragon has disappeared.
The demons have indeed been suppressed. They came specifically to massacre humans, and they had no intention of fighting to the death with the main fleet of Elanthir at Shakeburn.
To put it bluntly, these demons are not here for a real fight to the death. It can be seen from their configuration that this is not a real main demon army at all.
They don't have floating castles, and they don't have more dragons. They don't have large engineering weapons on the ground that can kill human city walls instantly, and they don't have hordes of high-level magic demons.
Judging from the scale, this is just an ordinary army of demons, and the fleet is just the "leftovers" that have survived from the attack of Elanthir.
When Lawns confirmed the landing force, his fleet opened fire again, smashing into a sieve the largest demon battleship that was already emitting thick smoke and beginning to capsize.
The destroyer has already begun to approach and fire, and the 130mm caliber naval gun equipped on the bow of the ship is constantly pouring shells at a very high rate of fire at a demon warship that has no power to fight back.
Every cannonball hitting the not-thick steel plate would leave a huge hole. Seawater poured into such a hole, and the demon warship sank quickly.
At least in naval battles, the devil's naval fleet could only be massacred when facing the Elanthir battleship.
Soon, dozens of helicopters that took off one after another flew across the sea, passed over the hovercraft that was advancing rapidly at their feet, and first arrived at the port where there was thick smoke everywhere.
"Oh my god... this is... too tragic." An Airan Hill soldier leaning against the window sighed in shock as he looked at the city that had been looted.
"You can land in that open space! The armed helicopter has established a fire cover position nearby! We will return after you get down!" The co-pilot in front of the helicopter turned back and shouted to the slightly nervous soldiers behind him.
The leading officer gave him a thumbs up, and the UH-60 helicopter began to slow down above the open space that was finally found.
Then, the helicopter began to slowly descend in altitude, and the cannon under the nose of the accompanying AH-1 Cobra armed helicopter was spitting out tongues of fire, firing a dense barrage of shells at the Devil Dogs in the distance who were trying to approach the landing site.
.
Those shells hit the brick-and-stone streets, sending up a cloud of white smoke. Several demon dogs were shot and fell to the ground, while the remaining birds and beasts scattered and disappeared at the end of the street.
"Wow!" As they approached the ground, the side door of the hu-60 Black Hawk helicopter was forcefully opened by soldiers from the inside. When the landing gear of the helicopter just touched the ground, the Marine soldiers in the cabin couldn't wait to rush down.
airplane.
"Get cover quickly! Set up a defensive position!" A squad leader subconsciously shouted to his soldiers as soon as he jumped off the plane.
There were still bloody corpses on the ground, some of which were demon dogs and demon soldiers killed by armed helicopters, some of which were civilians, and some of which were soldiers from the Southern Kingdom wearing armor.
"Damn it!" A soldier just ran two steps forward when he stumbled over the half-remained corpse that was eaten by the devil dog. He struggled to get up and found that his palms were sticky.
Stained with blood that is about to dry up.
He lowered his head and looked at his chest, which also had a lot of blood stains on it. He cursed angrily, helplessly picked up his weapon and followed the footsteps of his comrades.
"Set the highest point on the building over there! Turn on the identification device! Don't get killed by your own shells!" After getting off the plane, the platoon leader of the 1st platoon pointed to a building in the distance that had not been destroyed.
shouted.
After hearing his order, several soldiers standing beside him who had arrived on the same plane nodded slightly, and then they ran into groups of two, carrying heavy anti-tank missile launchers, and ran to the commanding heights in the distance.
An armed helicopter flew over everyone's heads, and rockets on both wings were fired continuously. The smell of burning gunpowder wafted over the battlefield, and this smell made every Airan Hill soldier feel at ease.
