Chapter 47: Landing Operations (I)
Although the headquarters was set up on the Kunming ship, the trio of the headquarters had been paying attention to the situation of the entire battlefield, and the battle had been going on for more than an hour, and among the warships moored at the dock, only the British ships Orlando and Alola, the German ships Hansa, and the Hertha were still struggling to support, and the rest of the large and medium-sized warships were all sunk, and several other transport ships were also sunk.
Although the remaining four warships have been able to start, they are all injured and cannot run fast when they start, and they can still fire back at the beginning, but now the main guns are basically dumb and can only be fired with secondary guns. The escaped ships were also effectively intercepted by the Yueyang and Sanya warships, and four of them had already been sunk, and the remaining few small ships could not escape, so it can be said that the overall situation of the battlefield has been decided, and it is only a matter of time before the battle ends, so we can start the landing operation.
So Xia Bohai immediately ordered the Changbaishan ship to start landing.
In fact, it has been prepared on the Changbaishan ship for a long time, on the helicopter deck at the rear of the Changbaishan ship, the two Z-8F have long been dragged out of the hangar, and the crew has completed the overhaul of the two Z-8Fs, filled up the fuel and hung up the weapons, and the crew is also in place in the helicopter and can take off at any time. The soldiers of the parachuted marines were fully armed and waiting in a helicopter hangar for departure.
In the dock compartment inside the Changbaishan ship, the two Type 726 air-cushion landing craft were also loaded with fighters who were ready to go, followed by 12 ZBD-05 amphibious combat vehicles, just waiting for the order of the headquarters to immediately launch a three-dimensional landing operation in the sea and air.
Although many landing operations have been practiced in domestic training and exercises, no matter how simulated the exercises are, they can never replace actual combat, and after crossing into this time and space, they will finally really go to the battlefield and start the first landing operation of the soldiers of the Marine Corps. However, after waiting in the Changbai Mountain ship for more than an hour, especially the rumbling of the guns outside the ship and the fierce battle was in full swing, the soldiers did not feel a little bored, and they muttered quietly.
After the command's order was transmitted to the Changbaishan ship, the soldiers were immediately in high spirits, and Lieutenant Colonel Zhu Yaping, commander of the fifth battalion who served as the commander of the Marine Corps on this mission, also immediately ordered the marines to start boarding the plane, carry out airborne landing, and occupy the Dagukou Fort.
So first of all, two marine platoons and two mortar squads came out of the helicopter hangar, respectively rushed to the two straight 8F parked on the flight deck, and pedaled the plane in turn, the whole process was less than five minutes, all the fighters stepped on the helicopter, showing the usual training effect, and the two straight 8F closed the tail hatch, the propeller began to rotate rapidly, and then left the deck, took off, flew into the air, and flew to the Dagukou Fort with the soldiers.
On the Changbaishan ship, after the two Z-8F took off, the soldiers of the Aviation Department hurriedly opened the helicopter hangar, drove the other two Z-8F out of the hangar with a trailer, and dragged them until they were in place at the take-off point, ready to let the next batch of airborne Marine soldiers pedal the plane.
Just when the helicopter was taking off on the deck of the Changbaishan ship, at the stern of the Changbaishan ship, the hatch of the dock compartment opened, and the seawater poured into the dock cabin, and the two Type 726 air-cushion landing craft began to start, slowly sailed out of the dock cabin, and began to gradually accelerate, speeding towards the direction of Dagukou. And the twelve ZBD-05 amphibious combat vehicles behind were also launched in turn, accompanying them one after another.
There are four forts at the mouth of Dagu, the square is arranged on both sides of the mouth of the Haihe River, it is arranged in a "Tian" shape, each fort has 20 Japanese soldiers guarding, at this time the cannon roars on the sea, the fire on the wharf is dazzling, the Japanese soldiers guarding the fort can naturally see, it is the fort close to the side of the wharf, it is even more clear to see, because the wharf was originally under the protection of the fort.
I saw that the warships moored at the pier were under heavy artillery fire from an unknown enemy, and the return fire was weak, and the Japanese soldiers guarding the fort were also very anxious; although in the Eight-Nation Alliance, Japan has always been at odds with Russia, but now after all, it is an alliance, and it is natural not to gloat when it sees the Allied ships being attacked, and there are still Japanese ships moored in the docks.
However, although there were a lot of cannons on the fort, there was no artillery among the Japanese troops guarding the fort, and no one would open fire, because now the Eight-Nation Coalition had firmly controlled the sea control of the Bohai Sea, and there was no maritime threat.
And at this moment, I only heard a strange sound of "saucer, saucer, saucer" suddenly came from the air, and the Japanese soldiers guarding the fort only felt that the wind was blowing overhead, and some of the Japanese soldiers with tendons in their heads said strangely: "Why is the wind rising, is this going to rain?"
But there are also some Japanese soldiers with more flexible minds who look up at the sky, only to see a strange thing appear in the dark sky of the night, which is approaching the direction of the fort, but the sky is too dark, and it is really not clear what this thing is, but it also attracts many Japanese soldiers to point in the air, and there are many discussions: "What is this, how can it fly in the sky without wings?"
"yes, what is it that I've never seen before?"
"Could it be a monster, than the legendary dragon of Rushina?"
"Yaho, how can there be such an animal as a dragon in this world? Even if there are dragons, they should only be found in Japan, and they will not appear in China. ”
"Dada-da-da!"
Just when the Japanese soldiers were making all kinds of strange comments, they saw that the fire flashed under the belly of this monster, and a dense number of shells were sprayed, and the Japanese soldiers on the fort were not in a hurry to defend themselves, and they were not in a hurry to dodge at all; second, the rate of fire of the bullets was too fast, and there was no way to dodge, so they were immediately shot to death, and they lay down on the fort.
Although the Z-8F carried on the Changbaishan ship is a transportation type, it is not difficult to carry one or two machine guns on the transportation helicopter as a ground attack weapon or to support the army operation. The belly of the Z-8F and the left and right sides of the fuselage are equipped with external attachment points, which can be equipped with machine guns, rocket artillery, air-to-air missiles and other weapons. Before departure, the ground crew mounted a CS/LM12 six-barrel machine gun under the belly of the Z-8F as a weapon to support the army's operations.
The CS/LM12 six-barreled machine gun, also known as the Chinese version of the "Vulcan Cannon", is a six-barreled rotary machine gun similar to the M134 Vulcan Gatling machine gun manufactured by Chongqing Construction Industry Group in China. The 7.62 mm machine gun is used to shoot with an electric power of less than or equal to 2.3 kilowatts, driving the barrel runner to rotate and fire, with a maximum radio frequency of 6000 rounds / min, a common radio frequency of 2500 rounds / min, and a maximum range of 1500 meters.
Chinese military enthusiasts are no strangers to the American M134 Vulcan Gatling gun, of course, this is largely thanks to Governor Shi's heroic performance on the screen, Governor Shi on the screen has more than once held the Vulcan cannon, spraying metal jets, beating all kinds of villains to the ground, becoming an eternal classic image.
However, in reality, the six-barreled rotary machine gun is not a hand-held weapon of a single soldier, not to mention that the empty weight of the M134 Gatling machine gun alone reaches 26KG, and because the rate of fire of this multi-barreled machine gun is extremely fast, the consumption of bullets is also very amazing, so it is necessary to have a special ammunition supply box, the general ammunition loading is about 10,000 rounds, and it also needs to be driven by electricity, which requires a special power supply, and these miscellaneous accessories add up, the total weight is about 200KG, and a single person can not hold it. Moreover, even the powerful recoil generated by the metal jet ejected by this six-barreled machine gun is not at all something that human beings can withstand. Unless you're a mechanical warrior from the future played by Governor Shi, it's still honest that this six-barreled machine gun is used in armored vehicles or helicopters.
In the 90s of the 20th century, China also began to manufacture multi-barreled rapid-fire weapons, and after entering the 21st century, it has achieved significant results in this regard, such as the 730 close defense gun on the Kunming ship, the 1130 gun on the Yueyang ship and the Sanya ship, and the CS/LM12 six-barreled machine gun mounted on the Z-8F now, all of which are representatives.
And the twenty Japanese soldiers, who had seen this metal jet weapon there, were immediately beaten into a sieve.
After killing the Japanese soldiers guarding the battery, the Z-8F flew all the way to hovering above the battery, and then opened the tail door, and the airborne troops in the plane lowered the rope, and the soldiers immediately grabbed the rope, slid to the ground, and quickly occupied all the points of the battery. The whole process took less than ten minutes, and the soldiers of a marine platoon and a mortar squad all landed on the battery, and successfully took control of the battery, so that the soldiers did not even have time to fire a single shot.
The airborne operations of the other three batteries were also carried out very smoothly, and the process was basically the same; in the process of airborne, there was basically no resistance, and as a result, the airborne troops easily occupied the Dagukou battery.
On the one hand, this is because the army guarding the battery is too small, there are only 20 soldiers in each battery, it is impossible to hold such a large battery, often a round of direct gun fire, almost all the Japanese soldiers guarding the battery are killed, even if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, but after the airborne soldiers land on the battery, they cannot escape, the airborne soldiers are equipped with night vision equipment, and the battlefield at night is equivalent to unilateral transparency to the airborne soldiers.
On the other hand, this method of airborne landing is too advanced for this era, and in this era there has never been even a decent landing operation, let alone this tactical technique similar to that of Zenith, so none of the Japanese soldiers guarding the fort escaped, all of them were wiped out by the airborne soldiers, but the landing force did not suffer any casualties.
