The squad leader looked at the strong men in the team again: "Machine gun team! Find bunkers immediately after landing! If the enemy is suppressed by machine gun fire, fight back as much as possible, and the covering troops disperse!"
"Understood!" The strong man nodded.
Then the squad leader took the trouble to remind others: "Remember, move laterally as much as possible. As long as the enemy's tracer bullets have been swept away, then move forward immediately and there is a high probability that you will not be hit by bullets. Make sure your bodies are as low as possible."
!”
As he spoke, he made a downward gesture with his hand as low as possible: "There is a giant bunker near our attack. That thing is condescending. If it is not destroyed, it will be quite dangerous... So, move.
, Concealment is the key to staying alive, and you will be safe if you rush to their blind spot, do you understand?"
"Got it!" everyone replied.
The transport ship was rising and falling in the waves. About 100 meters away from the ship was a larger transport ship.
The deck was piled with supplies, and some soldiers lying on the railings kept vomiting. The sailors on the high-rise buildings looked down at the landlubbers on the deck, pointing and pointing, not knowing what they were talking about.
Farther away, on the deck of a Qingluan-class amphibious landing ship, Tang Army sailors were removing fixed ropes and restoring a Black Hawk helicopter to a state ready for takeoff.
They need to open the folded rotors, check the aircraft's engine status, add fuel, and load the short wings on both sides with rockets.
A transport helicopter in front has completed these operations. That helicopter has no short wings and does not need to carry weapons. It is used to transport personnel. The soldiers on this helicopter will rappel to the battlefield.
Those soldiers who had never landed like this were very nervous. Although they had been training for a long time and taking a helicopter was not difficult for them, they were still nervous.
No one knows how the other side will greet their arrival. Maybe anti-aircraft machine guns will directly shoot down these helicopters, and these unlucky infantrymen may crash into the sea together with the planes.
"Tonight, the Air Force will launch a bombing mission to cut off the enemy's transportation lines and destroy all identified fixed targets. The air strike will last for four hours and is expected to end before two o'clock in the morning." Air Force Liaison Officer Bernard
In the command room of the Admiral, their combat mission was finally confirmed.
"Next, the airborne troops will complete the airborne landing from 3 to 4 in the morning to disrupt the enemy's deployment and clear obstacles as much as possible." After he finished speaking, he waited for the landing commander Tiger to speak.
A 4-hour attack cannot destroy all targets, not even a tenth of them. However, in order to avoid accidental damage, it can only attack for as long as 4 hours. Once the paratroopers begin to airdrop, the air force's bombing will be very dangerous.
Already.
Therefore, theoretically, there is no way for the Tang Army to completely destroy most of the defenses deployed by the dwarf troops, at least the air force cannot do this.
It is even more unlikely for the navy. They will only be able to bombard the entire dwarf defense line in the landing area in the early hours of tomorrow. There are not many gunboats that can go into battle. Support mainly relies on ground-attack missiles and bombs carried by the invader attack aircraft.
The Tang Army mainly relied on precision-guided munitions to destroy fortifications, which could save a lot of ammunition. However, the intensity of fire coverage would be affected, and the sustained suppression power would be insufficient.
In the headquarters of the Dwarf Everwinter City, General Moss is still busy. He is mobilizing troops and generals, aiming at the Tang Army's so-called "three-axe" tactic.
That's right, the dwarves had been studying the Tang Army's landing tactics for a long time, and Moss thought he knew the Tang Army's tactics well.
He sorted out the Tang Army's landing operations and found that the Tang Army basically followed a set of tactics: first conduct a large-scale bombing of the landing area at night to paralyze the opponent's transportation and dispatch capabilities; then deploy paratroopers to disrupt the battlefield; and finally
It was the soldiers who pressed down on the border and the landing troops came ashore to break through.
This tactic seems simple, but it is effective. No matter how hard you study this tactic, it is not easy to find a way to defeat the enemy.
Moss's tactic was to resist hard and ignore the Tang Army's bombing and the Tang Army's paratroopers: he believed that as long as the Tang Army's landing was blocked, the impact of the first two moves on the Ice Empire would not be fatal.
On the contrary, the airborne troops invested in advance will be trapped in the gaps of the various fortifications of the steel barrier, becoming hostages and "fighting opportunities" that the dwarves may seize!
As long as the Tang Army's paratroopers are defeated, a large number of prisoners are captured, and the Tang Army's landing troops are unable to open up the situation, then the war will develop in a direction that is beneficial to the Bingbing Empire.
One of his subordinates asked Moss if planes were to be dispatched immediately to harass the Tang fleet: "Do we need to take off fighter units to fight against the Tang navy? It is estimated that the opponent has already entered the combat radius of our aircraft."
"No need, wait until the other party is close to 200 kilometers away. If you send out planes now, you will die in vain. There is no meaning." Moss waved his hand and rejected the proposal of his men. He was not willing to waste what he had in his hands.
.
Once aircraft are dispatched to attack first, the Tang Army can take off carrier-based aircraft to easily respond. The valuable elite pilots will never come back if they are lost.
Even if they parachute, they can only float on the sea. If they are lucky, they may become prisoners, and if they are unlucky, they may drown directly. It is obviously unwise to waste precious air power in this way.
"When the Tang army starts to attack, our planes will be dispatched to intercept the opponent. In this way, the air force will fight on our homeland, and safety will be guaranteed after parachuting." Moss explained, making everyone calm down.
Immediately afterwards, Moss also formulated the navy's counterattack plan: "The navy's speedboat troops cut into the battlefield at night, get as close as possible to the enemy fleet, and release torpedoes... Their role is only to interfere, not to go deep, and to conserve as much strength as possible."
He has been studying anti-landing operations these days, and naturally he has also studied the capabilities that the navy can use.
The liaison officer from the Navy immediately nodded and said, "I understand."
Seeing that his men were somewhat nervous, Moss comforted him: "Gentlemen, this battle will last more than ten days, and may even take more than a month. As long as the coastline is still in our hands, we will have time."
Fight back, so don’t worry.”
"Yes! General." Even though they are still a little nervous, at least these dwarf officers look much better on the surface than before.
