The beach, five miles northeast of Brunei City, is relatively flat, with fine sand paving all the way down into the sea, while the rest of the place is rocky and difficult to land.

Or there may be a suitable place to land, but it is too far from the city and the road is difficult to navigate.

Therefore, the Southeast Army chose this place as the landing site, and at 8 o'clock in the morning, the battleships first hoisted anti-aircraft guns, raised the muzzles of the guns, and fired at a distance, indiscriminately.

In fact, there are definitely not many enemies hit, and even the probability of a blind cat hitting a mouse is a waste of shells and money.

However, the army conducted a survey and found that eighty percent of the marines and army soldiers like naval artillery, and the more they fight, the better.

The simple psychology of the fighters ---- we have support, and we are not alone.

If there are more cannons, the morale will go up, so even if the cannons are empty, they will not be mistaken.

This is also one of the reasons why the Southeastern Army won the battle!

There are no enemies on the beach, but the natives can be seen watching through the jungle through high-magnification binoculars.

Cruisers and transports headed for the shore, and there were ten landing craft in front of them!

The landing craft, which were classified as "Sea Cockroaches", belonged to a new type of warship, but the soldiers called them "Cockroach No. 1" and "Cockroach No. 2...... omitted the word "sea" and said "I rode cockroaches ashore", ordinary people definitely don't understand, and those who understand are brothers.

Its birth inspiration comes from the previous beach landing can not put a large number of troops in time and lack of artillery support, the main designer is Yan Dashao, he has no hobbies, have time to design a warship, "sea cockroach" is his new design of things, out of Yan Dashao's bad habits, so named.

The ship was flat, single-masted, with thirty holes on each side for paddling, and could carry a hundred heavily armed sergeants.

In the front of the hull was mounted a chic gun, the barrel of which was straight-through, which could be seen from one end to the other, and the barrel caliber reached 12 pounds.

Recoilless guns are here!

The so-called recoilless gun is a gun that does not recoil, and the principle is that when the gun fires, a considerable part of the gas generated by the gunpowder overflows from the rear of the gun, thus producing a reverse momentum close to the forward momentum of the projectile, so that the gun has almost no recoil.

It is small in size, light in weight, simple in structure, but has a large rear flame, so a baffle was specially made to be placed behind the gun body.

The barrel has wheels and a special track that can be rotated 90 degrees, making it very flexible when striking enemies.

The shells of the recoilless gun are driven by black powder, which has less kinetic energy, and is a recoilless design, so the range of the shells fired can be imagined.

But it doesn't need to hit far at all, it doesn't need to attack fortifications, it only uses one kind of shell, and that's shotguns!

It was used to support the landing of the Marines and suppress the enemy on the beachhead, as long as the Marines went ashore and formed a gun formation, there would be no recoilless guns.

Don't look at the small size of the landing craft of the "Sea Cockroach", the cost is not low, and its bottom is embedded with a solid brass plate!

Since it is a landing craft, it is beneficial to use brass plates to resist the wear and tear of the bottom of the boat.

Brass is money, no wonder Chen Xinji and Chen Hebin scratched their heads, and they had such a boss on the stall, it was really the temper of the eldest young master, and he didn't treat money as money!

Other countries, only a few countries in the red-haired fan can afford it, but let them choose, I'm afraid that I'd rather sacrifice soldiers than spend money like this!

……

Among the landed troops, there was a platoon led by Second Lieutenant Red, who had already shown his face in previous battles, and after studying, promoted to second lieutenant, he led a platoon on the "Cockroach Six", who were ready to face the most difficult stage of combat operations---- crossing the reef in front, which was just in front of the waves.

"Our problem is to get past it and not deviate from the intended direction of the attack!" The captain of the Cockroach Six shouted at the officers on board, saying that now they were going to go against the wind.

Ten landing craft paddled forward with their long oars, they formed a good formation and approached the reef, and the heavy artillery shells of the battleships in the rear swept above their heads, dragging long lengths of white smoke, black and gray smoke, never stopped, and Red was in awe of such a spectacular sight.

The landing craft climbed forward and appeared in the turquoise waters of the lagoon, and at this time, Ensign Red saw the fire coming from the jungle on the beachhead in front of him, damn it! The Bruneians bombarded us with artillery!

The combat quality of the Brunei people is still okay, they accurately judged the landing position of the Southeast Army, and dragged six 12-pounder guns overnight to deal with the landing force of the Southeast Army.

The artillery was bought from the red-haired fan, and the manipulation was also the red-haired fan, and the Brunei kingdom was a big force, so it could afford the red-haired gunner.

The Cockroach 7 was the first to be shelled, and it ate two shells, which immediately slowed it down and fell to the back of the group, and then several more shells flew in, and in a panic, the landing craft were in a mess and huddled together.

The captains of the boats yelled at each other in an attempt to divert the landing craft forward, while the soldiers on board were terrified and did not know when they would get a shell!

Many people are praying for Mazu's blessing.

After all, a cannonball hit the bulwark of Cockroach Six, blowing up a large field of wood chips!

Second Lieutenant Red saw that Captain Qian Shiping, the leader of the team, was covered in blood, and the blood sprayed all over the sky like a fountain, splashing Red's body!

He thought, "This is blood spurting from the captain's body." When he saw Qian Shiping waving his fingers as if to check if he was still alive, Red realized that it was not the captain who had caused the accident, and both of them turned around and saw a non-commissioned officer standing behind them, who was mortally wounded.

A wooden spur was stuck in the neck of that non-commissioned officer and the carotid artery was hit!

Red yelled, "Put on the neck guard!" ”

The deerskin armor neck guard can effectively protect his fragile neck, but it is uncomfortable to wear, and this guy is careless, and as a result, he will lose his life.

The unfortunate non-commissioned officer was only a small episode on the way forward, and the shells of our battleships kept falling, which seemed to be of little use, and the opposing artillery continued to attack.

Cockroach No. 6 suffered a near-miss, causing a large splash and drenching the officers and men on the deck of the ship.

Then Red saw a large crowd of natives pouring out of the jungle, bows and arrows and spears in their hands, and soon the beach was densely packed with people.

With the sound of shouts, the spears flew up and were fired at the landing craft, and the bows and arrows made a strange roar, and the officers and men on the boat hurriedly took their shields to resist, but the spears and arrows were blown by the sea breeze, and most of them were thrown into the sea

The speed of the landing craft slowed down and kept jolting, "You try to drive the boat towards the coast, so that we can drop our troops and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor!" Qian Shiping shouted to the captain.

"I can't get any closer!" The captain also shouted.

So Qian Shiping asked the captain to turn the boat sideways, so that the left side of the boat was facing the beach, and then he gave a loud order to disembark the troops on the right side, which had never encountered enemy attacks.

Red was the first to go into the water and touched the ground, and the water was only up to his thighs, which was good!

He made an OK gesture to the soldiers who were probing on the hull of the boat, which had been handed down from the upper echelons of the southeast province, and everyone was puzzled, but anyway, they used it as they learned, so the soldiers jumped into the water one after another, and the water splashed everywhere and gathered in a group.

The troops on the other boats were also launched, almost all of them in the same combat formation, and a sharp whistle was heard, and the soldiers, led by their respective officers, rushed towards the beach.

As the natives' spears and arrows fell among the soldiers, the bow guns of the landing ships fired!

"Boom, boom! ......" Thousands of hot projectiles splashed down in the crowd, and the natives fell in large swaths, their flesh and blood blurred, screaming and screaming, and the beach became hell in an instant!
