Chapter 1150: 1151 Main Island Landing Battle

Chapter 1150 1151 Landing Battle on Main Island

Hong Haiping sat in his seat, listening to the desperate shouts of the captain of the suicide speedboat coming from the radio. The sound was mixed with the sound of artillery, and the battle was quite fierce.

He was silent and just listened. The officers in the command post were also silent, listening to the fearful roar of the frontline captain coming from the loudspeaker.

On the radio, a captain cried into the intercom: "They put in a new type of artillery! It's terrible! They hit it so accurately!"

No one could imagine what the new artillery was like, and it would take a while for the observation posts on the coast to send back the compiled information.

But they all know that the other party is approaching this time to provoke. They are here to tell the Mirage Navy: Your suicide speedboat is no longer effective.

No one spoke, only the cry from the loudspeaker: "The captain's speedboat was hit! Help, they started firing at us...ah!"

　　Before, someone reported the news that a certain speedboat was sunk, but now there is no such report. The entire suicide speedboat unit is in chaos, there are shouts, and no one can calmly report the battle situation.

 In fact, there is no need to report the battle situation: everyone has heard that the speedboats were sunk one after another, and there were no miracles.

After the slight current interference noise ended, another frightening shout came: "The opponent's artillery is very fierce, we can't get close to the opponent! Request to retreat! Request to retreat!"

"Help! Help!" Immediately afterwards, the sailors on the other speedboat were crying hoarsely. The helpless shouts made all the officers in the headquarters tremble with fear.

The captain of another speedboat reported the battle situation. His report allowed the officers in the headquarters to confirm the news that this time the suicide attack failed: "No speedboat approached the enemy ship! We failed to sink the enemy ship... We The whole army was wiped out..."

"We're done...finished!" After the captain of the last speedboat shouted these words, the radio went silent.

Only the slight sound of electricity still echoed in the loudspeaker, and there was a deathly silence in the command center. Everyone looked at Mirage Haiping, who was sitting there motionless. The atmosphere was really oppressive and suffocating.

Their tried-and-tested suicide speedboat tactics seem to have failed: Tang's destroyers have installed a new type of weapon that can effectively intercept these suicide speedboats.

The Mirage Kingdom could no longer stop the enemy's landing operations, and the last fig leaf of the Mirage Kingdom's navy was torn off by the Tang Navy.

　　All the officers present looked at Mirage Haiping, but Mirage Haiping did not make any move. After a long while, he slowly raised his head and said, "What are you afraid of? We can still fight at night!"

The night battle he was talking about was actually taking advantage of the Tang Empire's naval fleet to land on the island and being dragged down near the landing site. In this way, the Mirage's suicide speedboat troops will have the opportunity to attack and launch an attack at night.

With the cover of night, the warships of the Tang Army may not be able to sink these suicide speedboats so accurately. The mirage actually still has a chance.

Some officers of the Mirage Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief. They also believed that what Mirage Haiping said made sense. Others were worried and didn't know what they were thinking.

Three days later, the news that two aircraft carriers of the Tang Empire Navy left Linshui Port was sent to the Mirage Navy Headquarters.

At the same time, what the Mirage Navy did not know was that a large fleet that set sail from Long Island began to head north. In this fleet, there were three Beiyuan-class destroyers that had been modified and installed Otto naval guns.

Early the next morning, a fleet of about 50 transport ships set sail from Beiyuan Port, fully loaded with 60,000 fully armed orc infantry. ""

 Subsequently, a tanker fleet escorted by 20 destroyers from Nanshan Port went to sea and assembled towards the South Island.

Nearly a thousand transport ships and warships of various types are converging on the South Island, and a massive landing operation is about to begin.

The atmosphere has not been good these days. Within the naval headquarters of the Mirage Kingdom, Mirage Haiping felt the pressure that the war was about to break out. He stood in front of the map and stared at the possible locations of the enemy fleets that had been marked, his expression extremely ugly.

 The news gathered from various channels is not good: the Tang Empire is gathering a fleet, just like the previous two times. This time, Mirage has no fleet, and the effectiveness of the suicide speedboat force is no longer guaranteed.

All he can do now is hide his strength, wait for the night when the Tang army lands, and use all the speedboats in his hand to launch a desperate counterattack.

 According to his order, the only two remaining usable destroyers stationed on the North Island are also preparing to go south. They will cover the suicide speedboats on the night of the decisive battle and attract as much enemy firepower as possible.

If these two battleships do not sink, they will retreat to Mirage Port early the next morning and sit on the foreshore to serve as a fort.

It can be said that in this future naval decisive battle, the Mirage Navy spent all its capital and did not even leave a pair of pants for itself. What makes Mirage Haiping feel uneasy is some intelligence obtained by the Mirage Army in the previous combat meeting: there are countless signs that the Tang Army... is likely to be strengthened by orc troops this time.

 First of all, near Beiyuan City, the Tang Army's transport ship left the port fully loaded with orc troops. This is something that many people have witnessed with their own eyes, and it cannot be faked.

In addition, there are a large number of orc troops on the New Island and the South Island themselves, which is no secret to the Mirage.

This is equivalent to saying that on the basis of the 9th Army of the Tang Army, an orc army has been strengthened. The strength of the Tang Army is likely to exceed 300,000!

 This is definitely not good news for Mirage. The Tang army has few soldiers and they are still determined to fight, but with hundreds of thousands of orc cannon fodder, it's hard to say.

"General! Just confirmed news. The Tang Army fleet stationed at Xindao Port approached the island and bombarded our false defense line deployed on the coastline... a total of 5 destroyers." An officer walked behind Mirage Haiping and reported to him what had just happened. Things that happened.

The Tang Army has begun to clear obstacles along the coast. This is definitely not a good sign! The Tang army's fleet is gathering, and the landing troops are already on the way.

"Deploy all the remaining mines...in the sea area where the bombardment occurred!" Mi Haiping ordered after exhaling.

The production capacity of Mirage is actually very low. The number of mines produced during the war was not large, and they did not know where to place these mines.

 Previously, they would place limited mines near the port, but later found that their ports were usually surrounded and captured on land from three sides, and the possibility of the Tang army making a surprise attack from the sea was extremely low.

Later, they deployed mines near the landing site that the Tang army might choose, but they continuously guessed the wrong places and wasted a lot of mines.

Now that the factory has been bombed, mine production is almost paralyzed. The only mines left in Mirage Haiping's hands can actually not change the situation.

Of course, it still needs to be used, so Mirage Haiping planned to try it again. If it could sink a few Tang Dynasty warships, it would be considered to be fully utilized.

At the same moment when Mirage Haiping was preparing to lay mines, the Tang Army launched 5 Scud ballistic missiles in one go and continued to attack Mirage City.

The entertainment of civilians in the Mirage Kingdom started again. An hour later, the Tang Army bombers, which had been bombing factories, cities, ports, etc., suddenly changed their targets and began to attack the radar stations and airports of the Mirage Kingdom.

Caught off guard, the four major airports of the Mirage were paralyzed, the airport runways were full of bomb craters, hundreds of aircraft were blown up, and their air force lost its combat capability almost instantly.

In the next two days, Tang State bombers have been trying to destroy Mirage State's airport runway. They bombed non-stop as if there was endless ammunition.

Hongliu carried cluster bombs and ignored the Mirage's anti-aircraft artillery defense line. Raindrop-like submunitions covered the entire area. The forest, roads, and the airport hidden in it were blown up. Thick smoke was billowing everywhere, and mountains were everywhere. Fire filled the air.

  Anyway, this place will be the territory of the orcs in the future, and it will be up to the orcs to clean up whatever shape it is blown into. Therefore, the Tang army's bombing was unscrupulous, and they did not care whether their submunitions would malfunction.

Flying Fortress bombers swaggered across the city in neat formations at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters. The Mirage Army's anti-aircraft guns couldn't do anything to these guys.

 They dropped the bombs calmly, regardless of where the bombs would be blown by the wind. Anyway, they don't think about bombing accuracy, they just need to drop the bomb over the target area.

 As for how much damage was done...that doesn't matter at all! As long as one of the two bombs hits the target, their mission is accomplished.

The round-the-clock bombing paralyzed the Mirage Air Force. During the few days when the Tang Army's fleet was assembled, the Mirage could not take off a single plane at all.

When the Tang warship appeared again near the coastline of the main island of Mirage, the observation post of Mirage was so frightened that he almost dropped his telescope.

Countless warships appeared on the horizon, followed by dozens of minesweepers to clear the few mines. On this morning, a landing site more than ten kilometers long was cleared.

Countless landing craft lined up on the sea, loaded with orc soldiers transported from the New Island and the South Island, approaching the coastline of the Mirage Island.

 The naval guns roared a few minutes later, and countless columns of smoke suddenly rose from the coastline. Corsair fighters and Stuka dive bombers hovered in the sky like vultures.

On September 1st, the Orc landing, which had been postponed countless times, kicked off on the main island. Orc soldiers wearing M35 helmets set foot on the land that belonged to them.
