Chapter 1514: 1515 Turtle shell is hard to bite
When more than 1,000 special forces are used intensively, they can not only carry out surprise attacks by small groups of troops, but also produce more unexpected effects.
Strictly speaking, the tactical interweaving of the Chinese Rabbits is actually the primary manifestation of large-scale operations by special forces.
At that time, what restricted the Rabbits was communication technology and firepower, as well as their situational awareness of the entire battlefield. If they had these things back then, they could sweep all their opponents.
This is not bragging, it is even a bit modest. Back then, the Chinese Rabbits' personal fighting will and subjective initiative were the best in the world. They only relied on insufficient battlefield situation awareness and pitiful firepower to hit all opponents. The results of the battle are coming.
The special forces of the Tang Army have stronger battlefield awareness, and their intelligence is very accurate; they also have terrifying fire suppression capabilities, and they are supported by a powerful fleet that even the Lighthouse Country has never had.
Just as the special forces of the Tang Army were quietly attacking the city and taking out the stronghold, the dwarf position in the distance was already ablaze. One after another, 350 mm caliber artillery shells fell on the dwarf's defenses, and there were continuous and earth-shaking explosions.
The small battleships built by the Chu State had no performance advantages compared to the battleships built by other countries around the world at the same time. However, if used for ground support, their capabilities are still very powerful.
Faced with the army's small water pipes, the navy's battleship main guns have an overwhelming advantage from every angle.
A shell fired from a 350mm caliber artillery fell on the dwarf's position, destroying a trench in one fell swoop. Despite the concrete reinforcement, the explosion still blew away everything nearby, including several dwarf soldiers who had entered the position.
The stunned dwarf troops were a little at a loss, because according to previous judgments, the Tang Army's bombardment should have started in a few hours. The heavy artillery they deployed behind the shore defense facilities was hiding in the bunker at this moment, with no way to fight back.
The explosion shook the dwarf position, and figures swayed under the swaying incandescent lights. The dwarf leader, who was being covered by artillery fire, grabbed the phone and asked the artillery positions in the rear to open fire to relieve his pressure.
"Yes! I am being bombarded! The enemy is attacking! I need artillery support! For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, fire immediately to drive back the enemy warships." He grabbed the phone and shouted loudly.
The other party seemed to agree to the request. He hung up the phone and looked at the officers around him: "The bombardment will start in 5 minutes, and the navy's speedboats have also been dispatched... Now we just need to wait."
Several officers were obviously relieved. Although they had not encountered a real attack from the Tang army, the opponent's artillery fire did fall on the position they were responsible for.
There is a high probability that the opponent's attack will start here - tomorrow morning, a large number of Tang troops will land to attack, and with their positions destroyed, they can only fight **** battles with the enemy in the ruins.
What they didn't know was that the Tang Army's special forces were cleaning up the sleeping dwarf soldiers in the positions they had controlled.
They were all captured before they even got up. Although some vigilant dwarf soldiers got up and prepared to fight, their guns were in the room on the other side, and they were blocked by the Tang army before they could use them.
Thousands of dwarf soldiers became prisoners in a daze, and the remaining ones who resisted were killed.
Telephone lines have long been cut off by the Tang Army, and even some important bunkers have been cleared by the Tang Army. Countless soldiers had already disembarked in boats. Just after three o'clock in the morning, Liu Guozhu, who was sitting in the tank, heard the notice to disembark from the earphones.
He opened the hatch cover above his head and stuck his head out. A stream of salty sea breeze poured into the interior of the tank, and also blew away Liu Guozhu's tiredness.
The door in front of the hovercraft has been opened, and the beach is already in front of you. There are no gunshots and cannons as you imagined, and there is no resistance battle. There are only special operations team members holding fluorescent sticks, guiding the hovercraft to the shore.
One after another, the Type 96 tanks rushed onto the beach at full speed. Under the dim directional lighting, the tracks picked up gravel and rolled forward.
Seawater mixed with sand stuck to the constantly rotating road wheels. These heavy main battle tanks spread out in formation unobstructed, covering the Tang Army soldiers who came ashore at the same time and took over the cleared dwarf defense lines.
“Even the infantrymen went in front of us.” Liu Guozhu felt that the world was really irrational, and the armored forces had really become a second-tier player.
The gunner didn't speak, he just leaned on the hatch cover and let the slightly swaying tanks follow the light indicators and enter the cleared road.
Thick barbed wire has been cut and overturned and piled on the roadside. The trenches have even been filled in. The tanks did not even have a bump when crossing those trenches.
Various communication antennas have been erected next to a giant bunker, various contacts have been established, and the Tang Army has successfully landed at a cost of almost zero.
"The dwarves are smarter than we thought. The special forces that opened the way met the soldiers they mobilized to fight back, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides." On the command ship of the Admiral Bernard, an officer nervously returned to Bernard. Tiger reported the latest battle situation.
The shortcomings of the special forces were also exposed at this moment: when facing the enemy's heavy troop group, the technical advantages of these special forces are not so obvious.
"Our army has killed more than 30 people and injured nearly a hundred. However, the dwarf counterattack has been repulsed... The operation is most likely exposed. Does the follow-up force need to speed up the landing?" After the officer finished speaking, he looked To the landing commander Tiger.
Tiger thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Speed up! Let the troops build the floating dock as soon as possible. We need to invest the main force as soon as possible to expand the results. Several helicopter battalions that can fight at night will set off now to send some people up."
“Yes!” The officer stood at attention, saluted, and turned to leave.
Seeing the other party leaving, Tiger looked at Bernard beside him and said with emotion: "The commander on the dwarf side is very powerful. He has not shown any flaws until now. It seems that we have met our opponent this time. "
"Yes, this turtle shell is very hard. We will have to waste some energy this time." Bernard also agreed.
