"Boom!" On the beach, the Tang Empire's naval guns began to lay smoke bombs. For a moment, the air was filled with a choking smell, and the entire beach was shrouded in white smoke.
The goblin soldiers stationed in the trenches could not see anything. They could not see the situation on the sea, nor could they see whether anyone had landed ashore.
There were only the sounds of constant explosions in their ears, and from time to time they could hear the roar of fighter jet engines. It was different from what they had expected: they seemed unable to open fire and massacre the Tang Empire troops as they landed.
They couldn't see the figure at all, and they didn't know where to aim, so they could only wait stupidly, waiting for the enemy to rush to a distance they could see before firing.
Seeing the white mist filling the beach beneath their feet, the Mirage pilots became even more anxious: they were unable to stop the opponent's fleet from launching their landing troops, and they even lost the ability to protect themselves.
The Zero fighter jets could only flee for their lives while being chased by the pirate fighter jets, while the Dragon-Slaying bombers had already hastily dropped their bombs and returned to their destination, escaping.
"The other side used a lot of smoke bombs! We can't see clearly what's going on below us!" The Goblin Flight Captain of Mirage Country reported over the radio while escaping in his own plane: "They don't know where the plane came from! There's nothing we can do about it.
Attack their fleet!"
"Can you confirm the origin of the enemy aircraft? Can you confirm it?" In the earphones, a question came from the ground control tower.
"I..." The Goblin flight captain replied in the cockpit full of windows. Halfway through his words, a pirate fighter jet jumped in front of him from the side. The dense cannon shells directly shattered the Zero fighter.
cabin, and the goblin pilot inside was also smashed into pieces.
The Zero fighter itself is notoriously weak in protection. The pirate fighter modified by the Tang Empire used four 20 mm caliber cannons.
The power of this thing is quite terrifying. Whether it is attacking bombers like Tulong or fighter jets like Zero, two hits from the shells are enough to disintegrate them.
On the beach, amid the smoke, a landing craft rushed onto the beach. The hatch directly in front of it suddenly opened, and Marines holding weapons rushed out.
Although the cold sea water suddenly soaked their shoes, being able to go ashore in such good condition was much better than they expected.
These Marines, loaded with equipment, clumsily stepped on the sand, but not a single bullet came from the smoke in front of them.
"The first batch of Marines have come ashore! The shelling has stopped! The shelling has stopped!" On the radio, the commander in charge of coordination reminded the fleet again and again, so that the fleet's artillery began to extend deep into the enemy.
"There is no enemy attack! The troops are deploying!" On the landing craft that had started to reverse and prepare to return, the captain also grabbed the walkie-talkie and reported the situation loudly.
The soldiers on the second landing craft also dispersed, and everyone was running further away. At this time, the Mirage defenders finally spotted the figure and started shooting wildly.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The sounds of machine guns and rifles merged into one. The Marines of the Tang Empire who were just at the forefront of the advance were shot and fell, and the surrounding soldiers were also hit one after another.
Fall down.
"The enemy is firing! Directly ahead! Directly ahead!" He raised his weapon and pulled the trigger at the place where the fire was shining. The Marine Corps commander shouted loudly while firing back: "Fire! Fire! Suppress the enemy.
Firepower!”
"Move! Move! Don't stay where you are! Run!" Some officers waved their arms amidst the hail of enemy bullets, encouraging their soldiers to find bunkers as quickly as possible: "Find bunkers! Pay attention to concealment!"
"Cover! Cover! Fire! Fire!" The captain on the landing craft shrank his head when he saw the tracer bullets coming, and shouted to the machine gunner next to him.
The machine gun shooter behind the shield immediately aimed at the direction of the bullet and pulled the trigger. The heavy machine gun spit out tongues of flame, and a series of tracer bullets rushed into the smoke.
Smoke grenades not only block the enemy's line of sight, but also block our own line of sight: in this case, it is almost impossible to accurately suppress shooting.
To put it bluntly, this kind of covering fire is just to embolden one's own soldiers. As for what's the use... is there any use?
"Dang!" Just as the heavy machine gun on the landing craft kept roaring, a tracer bullet came and hit the shield, making everyone shrink their necks in fright.
"What the hell! Reverse! Get back to the sea!" The captain looked at the steaming craters on the shield and ordered loudly with lingering fear.
As he shouted, a huge black shadow passed by the landing craft. It was a 77 amphibious armored transport vehicle. Its tracks stirred in the seawater and mud, shaking its huge body, and rushed up everywhere.
Gunshot Coast.
"Follow the armored vehicle! Use it as a cover!" The surrounding Marines seemed to have seen the savior, and quickly gathered around, following behind the armored vehicle, moving forward little by little.
"Thud, tug, tug!" The heavy machine gun on the roof of the 77 armored vehicle with a shield that came ashore was also firing non-stop, covering the surrounding Marines as they moved forward.
With the cover of this thing, the soldiers were finally no longer running naked under the enemy's fire. They quickly continued to move forward, getting closer to the enemy's main line of defense.
However, just when the Tang Empire's landing troops were overwhelming, a soldier was suddenly blown away by an explosion while running, and the remaining people had to stop immediately.
"Landmine! This is a minefield! Damn it!" A soldier knelt down on one knee and saw an exposed mine. He loudly reminded his companions to be careful: "There are mines on the beach!"
As he shouted, another soldier stepped on a landmine and was blown away by the explosion. When he fell, only half of his body was left.
"Watch your step!" the Marine officer reminded his soldiers, but before he could finish his words, a passing bullet took away his head.
"Go forward! Go forward! Don't stop! Keep moving forward!" Seeing the heavy casualties of the troops, the Marine Corps officer commanding on the scene could not care so much anymore. He ordered loudly and led the troops to start to move forward.
From time to time, someone stepped on a mine and was blown away, but more soldiers rushed behind a reef and found a place to stay.
On the battlefield, smoke was still everywhere. A Type 77 amphibious armored vehicle had its tracks broken by a mine and could only stay in place to serve as a bunker.
The soldiers on the car had already disembarked and dispersed, and more soldiers had piled up on the beach. At this time, Mirage's howitzer shells began to fall. After all, the opponent had precise coordinates, and the landing point of the shells was quite tricky.
Because the landing force was too dense, any artillery landing point chosen by the opponent could cause a large number of casualties to the Tang Empire's landing force.
For a while, the beach was covered with blood, and the corpses of soldiers from the Tang Empire were everywhere. The soldiers who came ashore later could even use the corpses as bunkers. Many corpses that died in the sea were pushed ashore by the sea water, and they were piled up in a scary straight line.
"RPG!" finally approached the enemy's position, and the Marines of the Tang Empire also launched a counterattack. They found a good angle and fired a rocket at a bunker with a vague muzzle flashing light.
bomb.
"Boom!" The rocket hit the bunker, but it seemed to have no effect. The commander retracted his head and shouted to the shooter who was loading the second rocket: "One more shot! Kill those sons of bitches."
of!"
"Yes! Sir!" The shooter who had loaded the rockets leaned out and fired a second rocket at the machine gun bunker. Seeing the rocket flying towards the target with a long tail of smoke, he followed closely.
There was an explosion over there.
"Group 2! Cover me! Group 3! Get ready for demolition explosives! Advance alternately! Up!" Seeing that the vague machine gun bunker in the distance seemed to be motionless, the Marine officer leading the team waved his palm forward.
He took the lead and rushed out.
They bypassed the reef and started strafing the trenches where Mirage soldiers were stationed on the side of the reef. The three groups of soldiers pushed the detonators directly into the barbed wire fence, and then everyone retreated behind the reef.
The earth-shaking explosion came seconds later, and everyone's ears were buzzing. Shaking off the gravel on the helmet above his head, the Marine officer rushed in with an assault rifle.
Completely dissipated smoke.
His soldiers followed him, stepping on the shallow pits blasted by the detonators, crossing the broken barbed wire, and rushed into the goblin trenches that were full of casualties.
"Tu tu tu tu tu!" Without any shouting or scolding, the Tang army picked up their weapons and started firing mercilessly.
Some soldiers took out grenades and opened the safety cover and threw them out, causing explosions in the distance; some soldiers charged forward along the trenches and kept firing at the goblins in the trenches.
They changed magazines skillfully, and some simply pulled out the pistols from their waists and continued to fire. The goblins in the trenches fell on their backs. With only Cyric Type 1 rifles in their hands, they had no power to fight back.
At this time, the situation on the beach also changed dramatically. The slower 63 amphibious tanks appeared on the scene. They had larger-caliber artillery and suppressed some enemy positions at very close distances.
More and more soldiers of the Tang Empire rushed into the trenches of the Mirage Army, and the firepower of the Mirage Army, which relied on strong defenses to resist, became increasingly weaker.
"Hello? Hello!" In an underground bunker, the Mirage officer responsible for commanding the Mirage Coast Defense Force grabbed the phone receiver and begged Mirage Wu Zhong helplessly: "If reinforcements don't come, we won't be able to withstand it! Hello?
