"Boom," the main gun of the battleship Beijing fired, and thick tongues of flame spurted out from the muzzle. Then, a huge fireball flew towards the Coco Fortress. After the main gun of the battleship Beijing, there were other secondary guns. Various naval guns from the battleships joined in one after another. Suddenly, from Bai Liusu's perspective, he saw that the Beijing mobile fleet and Guadalcanal were instantly connected by hundreds of artillery shells. The smoke here is thick, tongues of fire are spitting out, and a huge fireball explodes on Guadalcanal. Then, the fireball turns into a huge mushroom cloud. On top of the mushroom cloud, there are some rocks, trees and even human bodies jolting, in the huge explosion. in, scattered in all directions,
"The rain has become lighter again." Zhang Liang suddenly said to her,
"God help our army." Bai Liusu said, put down the telescope, looked at the time, and then said to Zhang Liang: "Call Zhou Qincai and ask if they are ready." Zhang Liang nodded, retracted, picked up the phone,
When the Beijing mobile fleet started firing, in front of them, a frigate and three Swordfish missile speedboats escorted five small landing craft and were speeding towards the Coco Fortress. This was the landing vanguard force responsible for seizing the beach. Bai Liusu chose The biggest reason why Coco Fortress is the landing point is that there is an existing airport not far from Coco Fortress. In addition, considering that the Japanese army laid minefields in the coastal areas of Guadalcanal, relatively speaking, Coco Fortress is It was a landing site with good conditions, and as long as the sneak attack succeeded, it would be easier to follow the trend. However, her decision was clearly opposed by Lieutenant General Wainwright IV, the top commander of the US-Australia coalition forces. The Americans did not know that White Liusu already had a complete defense map of the Japanese army on Guadalcanal, so he was very puzzled by her decision. In his opinion, since it was a sneak attack, he should choose to land in a place without Japanese troops garrison, and then launch a large force after establishing a beachhead. Only by infiltrating the troops can they act as surprise troops and catch the Japanese army by surprise. If they choose to land at the Coco Fortress, which is heavily guarded by the Japanese army, then if they give up the sneak attack and carry out a strong attack, wouldn't it mean that all the painstaking preparations for the sneak attack have been completed? In vain, he was very dissatisfied with having to obey the command of a woman, and Bai Liusu's behavior in his opinion was a sign of ignorance of military affairs. Therefore, when Bai Liusu asked his people to serve as the vanguard force for the beach, He clearly refused,
The reason why Bai Liusu wanted the U.S.-Australian coalition to fire the first landing shot was not because he had the dirty intention of using the Americans and Australians as cannon fodder, but because they had been stationed on Guadalcanal before and were more familiar with the terrain than the Xuebing Army. Her temper was originally one of treating others with respect. After being rejected by Wainwright IV, she said nothing on the outside, but in her heart she regarded the US-Australia coalition forces as outsiders and no longer counted on them. ,
Zhang Liang quickly put down the phone and reported to her, saying that Captain Zhou and the others were ready to launch a beachfront operation at any time.
"Very good." Gu Lianyun said, "Everything is going according to plan."
"Yes." Zhang Liang replied, then turned around and picked up the phone and started calling various troops.
According to the original plan, after Zhou Qincai's troops complete the beaching, the aircraft carrier fleet will dispatch fighter planes to provide cover for them, and the French Volunteer Army will be the first echelon of the main force to land. After that, the French Volunteer Army will assume the task of expanding the landing site. With the support of the French army, they launched an attack to the rear of the Coco Fortress. At the same time, the follow-up troops of the main force landed in stages and followed the French volunteers to complete full control of the landing site. Bai Liusu was originally worried that the naval aviation troops would not be able to take off due to the bad weather, causing the French The Volunteer Army's operations were hindered, but now, as the weather improved, there was no longer any worries in this regard, and she felt confident that victory was within her grasp.
Twenty minutes later, as the artillery fire of the Beijing mobile fleet began to extend into the distance, five landing craft carrying more than a thousand students from Zhou Qincai's department began to rush towards the beach. At the same time, the artillery on the Japanese position in Coco Fortress finally rang out. ,
Fire flashed on the Japanese position of Coco Fortress, and the rumbling sound of artillery sounded. Bai Liusu's heart couldn't help but tighten. Then, she listened attentively, and after judging that there was no muffled thunder in the firing sound of fortress artillery, She felt relieved, knowing that the guide to Guadalcanal was completed.
At this moment, in her telescope, the Coco Fortress, which was full of rubble and ruins, seemed to suddenly come to life, and khaki and grass-green figures began to appear. The khaki figures were the Japanese, while the grass-green figures were the National Liberation Army. The Nanyang monkeys were running among the rubble and ruins, firing their guns. Behind them, the muzzles of mountain cannons were exposed and began to pour out shells. However, compared to the fortress cannons, the power of these mountain cannons was The attack power was much weaker. Even if it hit the landing ship, it would not be able to cause serious damage. Amidst the huge waves and fireworks, the five landing ships rushed towards the shoal in one go. Then, the frigates and Swordfish missile speedboats rushed Amidst the explosions of machine guns, the deck in front of the landing ship was heavily photographed. Immediately, five platypus tanks rushed into the waist-deep water with black smoke. Behind the platypus tanks were cadets in camouflage military uniforms. , they shouted loudly and waded into the water and rushed to the beach...
The five landing ships are all independent products of Xuebing Army. The biggest difference between them and the landing ships of other countries today is that they have extremely strong armor protection capabilities and have a ten-ton ship crane. The existence of the standard ship crane makes it suitable for carrying Platypus tanks, and each landing ship carries one Platypus, which greatly improves the landing force's ability to attack difficult problems.
The smoke of gunpowder began to obscure Bai Liusu's sight, and the students who followed the Platypus' charge began to frequently fall into the sea water. The bombardment of the Beijing mobile fleet did destroy all the Japanese bunkers and fortresses, but it did not Can destroy all those bunkers, and these bunkers have become the biggest obstacle to Zhou Qincai's department.
"Bazooka." Zhou Qincai watched his brothers fall into the sea one after another, his eyes were red, and he shouted loudly,
"Coming." A student responded, and then pulled the trigger of the rocket launcher carried by the arrow. "Whoosh." Flames spurted out, and a fire dragon shot out. The next moment, with a violent explosion, the bunker was lifted open. Cover, the Japanese inside were torn to pieces together with the machine gun,
"Come on." Zhou Qincai waved his gun and shouted, and the trainees screamed and quickened their pace. At this moment, another pile of gravels spurted out tongues of fire from the middle of the beach. Several trainees were caught off guard and had only time. He let out a scream and fell into the sea water.
This time, without Zhou Qincai's command, a rocket launcher immediately retaliated. In this repeated battle, Zhou Qincai's troops moved to the beach little by little. Finally, someone climbed onto the beach and set up the gun.
