Chapter 1509: The day before 1510
"Long live our Emperor! Marshal! The vanguard destroyer fleet sank an Ice Empire patrol ship. Our approximate location may have been exposed." An officer stood at attention and saluted to Marshal Bernard who was confirming the positions of each squadron and reported. road.
Just now, the fleet radar in front detected an oncoming dwarf patrol ship. The two sides would soon find each other, so the Tang Army destroyer commander had to launch two missiles and directly sank the enemy ship. ship.
In order to prevent the other party from sending messages in time, the electronic warfare aircraft that had been on guard duty in the sky immediately activated electromagnetic interference and blocked nearby signals.
But everyone knows that this kind of thing cannot be hidden for long. Once the other party fails to send back the signal on time, the exact location of the Datang Empire Navy will definitely be exposed.
"Where is the dwarf's fleet?" Bernard looked at his chief of staff. He hoped that there would be no interference when the landing began.
In fact, the dwarves' fleet was limited in strength, and they did not have the courage to go north to intercept the Tang army's fleet. Those old battleships and aircraft carriers that can only take off piston fighter jets are simply going to die in a confrontation.
Of course, even so, if these warships really appear in the landing area, they will have some impact on the Tang Army. At least the Tang Army will need to detach a destroyer squadron to intercept them.
“Four hours ago, it was still in the southern port of Zada.” The chief of staff immediately replied: “The satellite has confirmed the picture, and the opponent’s main fleet has indeed not set out to sea.”
Four hours ago, we were in the far southern port of Zada. Even if we set sail immediately, it would still take five or six days to arrive nearby. Bernard then put aside the threat of this fleet and continued to ask: "Where are the submarines and speedboat troops deployed by the dwarves near Everwinter Harbor?"
“We have not found any enemy submarines, and the speedboat force will probably not be dispatched until this time tomorrow.” the chief of staff continued to answer.
His answer showed that the Navy's task of eliminating the enemy's maritime power near the landing area was completed ahead of schedule. The opponent had no intention of coming to die, so a naval battle would almost never break out.
The only thing you need to worry about is the opponent's speedboats and submarines, but there are plans for dealing with these things, so there is nothing that requires special attention.
Bernard nodded, and then said: "Then try to stop them from moving as much as possible."
“Yes!” the staff officer responded immediately.
"Our first trump card will be revealed tonight. It depends on whether the opponent has the ability to resist." Bernard looked at General Tiger beside him and said, "Next, let's see whether that army can resist it." Play their due role.”
"I think there should be no problem, because no one in the past has been able to have an army as close to the devil as we do." Tiger stared at the coastline on the map and said word by word.
In the cabin, the sailors began to distribute maps of the landing area to all the landing troops. These maps were drawn quite carefully, and the features of various landmark buildings were thoughtfully marked on them.
Everyone was given enough photos to help the troops identify the landing site and the direction in which they should attack. "Everyone confirm their missions! Count your supplies! Please check weapons on the landing craft! I emphasize it again! Do not check weapons in the cabin! Accidents are prone to occur!" the sailors kept emphasizing, because at this time tomorrow , the landing operation may be about to begin.
Every soldier who goes ashore must carry enough supplies: including biscuits, food, cans, and other things, because they may need anything during the battle.
Seeing someone inserting bulletproof plates into their tactical vests, the squad leader, as a veteran, kindly reminded: "If you put on the bulletproof plates in your vest now, then after you go into the water, if the water is deep enough, your life jacket will not be able to help you." You're totally floating! You'll drown then!"
Any accident may happen when landing. Sometimes they only find out after getting off the boat that the water under their feet is at least one meter deep...
In this case, as long as a rock stumbles the soldier, he may never stand up: the heavy equipment on his body may weigh him down and make it impossible for him to stand up again.
The soldier was very disdainful of the veteran's statement: "I would rather drown! I don't want to be killed by flying bullets! Didn't they say we go ashore directly? That's what the mission said."
He is no longer a new soldier, but the landing he experienced was very simple, and there was no decent battle at all: when the Tang army landed in Shu, the Qin army on the coast ran away without any resistance.
“Who knows what is waiting for us on the shore, whether it will be a machine gun bunker, or it may be covered by artillery fire... In short, the first batch of people to go ashore are all unlucky.” The soldier beside him chewed a piece of candy and interjected.
He is a veteran who was transferred from the 9th Army. Several landings in the Mirage Country did not go well, and he still has fresh memories.
For people like him, a battlefield filled with heavy fog and tracer bullets passing by from time to time is the most realistic landing battlefield.
The squad leader fixed his dagger and bayonet on his tactical vest and turned around and said: "We should have been unlucky. For more than half a year, we have eaten better every day than the prime ministers in the past. Now I have to work hard. I feel Worth it.”
The veteran pointed at the content written on the battle plan and complained: "You are right, His Majesty treats us favorably, and we should be loyal to His Majesty. But I still feel that everything written in this mission is bullshit. What do you mean after we land? You won’t be attacked by intensive firepower, disperse as soon as possible, and then attack? Is this what people say?”
The soldiers recruited from the 7th Group Army, who had only experienced the landing in Shu, still thought there was nothing wrong with what was written in the mission: "Perhaps the navy will destroy all the defenses along the opponent's coast?"
Several veterans burst into laughter: "When did they completely destroy the enemy's fortifications?"
They had never encountered such a good thing anyway, and the squad leader was not in the mood to educate the only soldier in the team who had little experience in landing operations. He looked at one of his subordinates and arranged a difficult task for him: " Cui Jiang, Cui Jiang! You are responsible for protecting the medical soldiers when they land! If something goes wrong with them, I will let you be the vanguard next time!"
“Yes! Sir!” The soldier named Cui Jiang immediately agreed.
