Blue plumes cut through the silent night sky, and two huge transport planes appeared over Shazhou Island.

This island is the second largest natural island in the southern seas and is famous for its vast golden sandy beaches. It has 70,000 people living on an area of ​​about 400 square kilometers, which is equivalent to half of Singapore's actual population and a little more than 1% of the population.

Unlike the narrow and crowded artificial islands like the Ring Island, this island is somewhat similar to the North Island and Anle Island. The island still retains many tropical natural landscapes.

Most of the residents on the island live on the relatively high south side, and modern buildings of two or three floors are scattered on both sides of the road around the island.

Since there is no airport on the island, the Burning Corps can only land on the sea outside the island.

The plasma plume ejected from the engine was close to the sea surface, and the scorched waves emitted a wisp of white mist.

The cabin door of the cabin opened downwards, and a steel landing craft slid along the track to the door of the cabin. Twelve players wearing exoskeletons were waiting on the landing craft. A 12 mm caliber machine gun and

A coaxial 60mm grenade launcher.

The former is mainly used to deal with light targets above the sea, while the latter is specially designed for underwater soft targets such as "frogmen".

The 60mm underwater grenade equipped with a pressure sensor uses metallic hydrogen charging. After approaching the target, it will explode at a very high explosive speed and rely on shock waves to kill nearby targets.

This landing craft is mainly designed for landing operations in the North Island and Haiya Province. Therefore, in addition to launching underwater grenades, the 60mm grenade launcher can also launch general-purpose fragmentation grenades to suppress fire on ground targets.

Although the chairman, CEO and factory director of Goblin Technology is addicted to selling junk on the northern line, it is obvious that the main business of Goblin Technology has not been abandoned because of this.

As the target area gradually approached, the player sitting in the cockpit shouted loudly on the communication channel.

"...The target is close, you have one minute to prepare!"

"Thirty seconds."

"Ten seconds!"

"……Set off!"

With a clear "click" sound, the rope pulling the landing craft was released, and the two Overlord transport aircraft dropped the landing craft hanging at the hatch at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, the landing craft were like dumplings, being lowered one after another. In the blink of an eye, there were twenty armed speedboats on the rough sea.

The speedboats divided into two teams and sailed towards the north and south sides of Shazhou Island respectively.

At the same time, on the north side of the island, disarmed Shazhou Island soldiers and a group of guards wearing exoskeletons were digging a beachhead.

Half an hour ago, they had received an early warning from Anle Island.

A destroyer and a landing ship were coming from the direction of the North Island. Judging from the menacing posture of those guys, it was obvious that they were not here to negotiate with them. The people sitting on the landing ship were probably not mutants.

I heard that in the distant southern Jinchuan Province, being caught by mutants is no joke. Both men and women will be eaten.

And it’s eaten in different ways.

Therefore, even though they were on opposite sides not long ago, they now have to stand on the same front for their relatives, friends and family.

Looking at the row of landing craft approaching in the distance, everyone's eyes subconsciously showed a trace of panic, but soon someone noticed the flashing signal lights on the landing craft.

"It's reinforcements from the Alliance!" A soldier had a hint of surprise written on his face.

The guards standing next to him and not far away also showed signs of being saved after confirming the frequency of the signal light.

Ten landing craft rushed directly to the beach. Players wearing exoskeletons jumped off the landing craft one after another. Two power players stayed behind and pulled the landing craft that was stranded on the shore directly to the shore.

The thickness of the steel plates on both sides of the landing craft is more than 15 mm, and the two layers stacked together are 30 mm, and can even block the bullets of some large-caliber machine guns.

Coupled with the fixed weapons on the landing craft, removing the battery provides an excellent bunker.

In addition, the landing craft also contained ammunition supplies and some folding bags containing sand, gravel and earthwork.

Fang Chang, who walked to the shore, walked directly in front of a group of armed men, looked around at them, and briefly introduced himself.

"Chang Fang, Burning Corps, who is in charge here?"

"I."

A man wearing a military exoskeleton came out. He had a federal assault rifle slung around his waist, but the body armor inside the exoskeleton was police style.

"Dumen, the director of the Shazhou Island Security Bureau, and the army... er, commander of the new Shazhou Island administration."

Probably because he had just obtained this equipment not long ago, it was obvious that he was not fully accustomed to the use of the military exoskeleton on his body.

Although it was a serious occasion, when Fang Chang heard the word "commander", the corners of his mouth twitched in laughter.

There are only about 200 people standing here, and the estimated number of people who are not here is only 400 or 500 people. If you put it on the northern line, you can make up half a thousand-man team, and I'm afraid it won't even be able to fill two caves.

But then again, this thing still depends on who you compare it to.

If these four to five hundred people fight against the company's mountain camp or the legion's thousand-man team, it will probably be difficult. But if they fight against the Xilan Empire's expeditionary force, it should be no problem to drive away the latter's ten thousand-man team.

of.

Of course, if it were the Gray Wolf Army or the two warlords on the border of Golden Gallen Port, it would be another story.

Dumen himself seemed to feel a little embarrassed, so he coughed dryly and took the initiative to hand over the command.

"Let me just say it straight, we don't have much chance to fight here, and the exercises are just a formality. Defense is mainly the navy's job... The command may have to trouble you veterans. If you need any cooperation, just tell us.

alright."

"Wise choice." Fang Chang didn't talk nonsense to him, he took out a tablet and threw it into his hand.

On the tablet is the battle plan.

In response to the two possible courses of action Charas may take, the Alliance's Army Staff has already made prepared response plans.

After Dumen took it, he took a look, and an expression of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"Is this... a battle plan? Have you already foreseen what will happen today?"

What is displayed on the tablet is not only the map of Shazhou Island, but also the positions deployed in various areas and the accompanying troops, etc.

This is not like a job that can be completed in two hours. The details of the content require at least two or three days to prepare.

Looking at his surprised allies, Fang Changdan smiled and said.

"We are used to rehearsing situations that have not happened, and then make a plan and submit it to the staff department, and then finalize it into an action plan and hand it to the manager for signature. Once the situation we envisioned occurs, the action plan will take effect immediately, and our

Troops will take action immediately during routine reporting, rather than waiting for a response from managers before making next plans."

This is actually a relatively routine operation.

As for unexpected situations, such as the loss of soldiers from the Xilan Empire, he will respond according to the relevant provisions in the "Player's Handbook" and the "Alliance Constitution", and decide whether to fight back and to what extent.

Hands up.

The swaying Shazhou Island has been a potential tinderbox since the beginning of the split of the Federation. Apart from the residents of Shazhou Island who cannot see it themselves, I am afraid that even the keyboard master on the Ideal City endpoint cloud can see it.

I'm afraid that not only have they made defensive preparations, Charas has also considered the situation that the alliance will take action and has already made two preparations.

Currently, two Thunder fighter jets are searching northward, testing the firepower of enemy destroyers and at the same time investigating possible ambush judged by the South China Sea Alliance Navy.

After seeing the entire combat plan from beginning to end, Dumen immediately took his men into action.

At the same time, on the south side of Shazhou Island, the company led by Lao Bai also landed on the island.

However, because there are a large number of residential buildings on the south side of the island, they did not rush the landing craft directly to the beach, but landed directly from the pier to the shore.

Lao Bai, who came ashore like Fang Chang, informed the guards who were consolidating defenses on the south bank of the battle plan.

Looking at the alliance soldiers taking over the defense task, the guards on the south bank looked at each other.

"...It seems like nothing has been done without us?"

A guard with a beard stubbed out his cigarette butt and stuffed it into a garbage bag in his pocket, looking blankly at the soldiers who were busy consolidating their positions.

He always has an illusion.

Compared with these guys, the well-equipped myself is more like a civilian.

Lao Bai, who was directing the work, happened to hear what he said, and then looked at him with a smile and said.

"What are you talking about? There are still many things you need to do. Don't think about leaving everything to us."

After a pause, Lao Bai continued.

"Now take your family to seek refuge, and remember to stay away from the coastline. In two hours we will airdrop a batch of supplies to the center of the island to help you set up a temporary camp. We will notify you to go home when everything is safe."

The guard who received the mission immediately straightened his back and performed a less than standard Alliance military salute.

"yes!"

Seeing his funny look, Lao Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"That's right, cheer up! Now that you've mustered up the courage to get here, don't give up halfway and finish what you need to do."

The guard took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, but there was still a trace of confusion in his eyes.

Seeing that the commander from the alliance was about to turn around and leave, he couldn't help but call him out.

"Wait, can I ask a question? I don't understand... Since you are so well prepared, you can actually blast Chalas away from here before we start the uprising. Why do you have to wait until today?"

Lao Bai grinned.

Other players may not know, but he does know that Fang Chang has indeed made similar preparations——

That is, before Charas consolidates the defense of Shazhou Island, the airport on the ring island is used as a springboard to occupy Shazhou Island with armed force, thus increasing the number of islands controlled by the South China Sea Alliance from 4 to 5.
