Chapter 159: Operation Overlord's Landing

The struggle of the navy and carrier-based aircraft is not yet known, but Lorraine had to prepare for not being able to reach the landing site in time in order to destroy the enemy's surface fleet. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Therefore, an intelligence officer was sent back, and the commander of the landing force, Major General Ye Liangchen, got the latest information, and then the whole person was not good.

“…… Now the combat situation is like this, Major General Ye. After the intelligence officer finished speaking, he stayed aside and was not ready to continue talking, only the officers in the conference room frowned.

"These guys in the navy are not sure to deal with the undead fleet in time, so shouldn't we force a landing without the help of warships?"

"There are no artillery and no carrier-based aircraft, and the fixed wings on land are all attached to the Scarpa Army, and without cover, we will land on the flesh and blood of the boys?"

"Stop arguing!" Rear Admiral Ye's voice quieted the conference room, he himself knew that the war situation was always changeable, but it was not planned to change to the point that there was no naval support.

"I ask you, if Admiral Lorraine is unable to provide cover for the landing force in time, has he said who will replace them?"

Without thinking, the intelligence officer replied, "Of course it's the Royal First Fleet!" ”

"That's good." Major General Ye relaxed, although he didn't have the cover of those hundred or so battleships, it was not bad to have the help of floating battleships, at least the 152 enchanted big pipe was invincible in this era.

"Everyone, you have also heard the current situation, for this day, the whole country has prepared a winter, and the overlord operation has not yet come to an end, so, I order!"

Everyone stood up and waited for the next words of the landing commander, "The transport fleet continues to sail, and the landing plan remains unchanged." ”

When the plan remains unchanged, although it makes people very worried about the fate of the future, the soldiers still have to obediently obey the order, and even the commander has not said to give up, what else can they do.

That's how it was, when D-Day officially arrived, the navy still failed to complete the task of annihilating the Great Fleet of the Undead, and even the floating battlefleet was held back, and there was only a mixed gunboat composed of sixteen search warships in the entire landing field, which provided limited support.

"I knew there was going to be an accident, what do you think will happen next?" The recruits from Dann State are nervous, hoping to get answers from their comrades on the same ship.

"How do I know...... Hopefully not to be hit directly by artillery...... The convoy must be powerful! ”

"It's useless for you to pray, you might as well pray with the priest, at least Lady Dawn and the Sleeping Moon Goddess can still protect us."

Instantly, all eyes were on a young man on the ship, and the priest who had gone to the battlefield with glasses shrugged, checked his rifle, and began to pray for the crowd.

"My God, we are here today for your gospel." A faint prayer sounded on the ice-armored landing ship, and the surrounding sea stirred up water columns from time to time, and it was the landing site defenders who were desperately firing cannons.

"You taught us to be mindful of our bodies and to be humble." The fire flashed, and the sea water rained down on everyone's heads.

"Fight bravely for justice and the future of the world." Screams rang out, sounding like a landing ship had been hit.

"Whatever comes our way, we will follow your teachings." A frigate was hit by multiple cannons, and even the banshee's wail appeared in the air.

"May Crime and Punishment end, and the knight will return to earth!"

"Thirty seconds left!" The landing pilot's inopportune shouts reminded them that they were about to arrive at the landing site, but the crowd did not say a word until the sergeant major spoke.

"Actually...... You're not a pastor, are you? I've never heard a prayer like this. ”

"The first two sentences were learned during the mission, and the last two sentences were read by me." The young man shrugged, "It's always a comfort, as we are about to play, we are facing the undead, and it is not an exaggeration to call ourselves knights, right?" ”

"Maybe." The sergeant major didn't answer, because after a jolt, the landing craft stopped, "Get ready, the front door is going to burst!" ”

"One last word, don't stay on the beach for too long! See you ashore, brothers! ”

"Bang!" The gate of the ice armor landing craft was blown open with the driver's movements, and the beach part of the unprecedented bloody Scapa landing campaign officially began!

The entire Scapa landing field was filled with howling Breton infantry, and the infantry guns mounted on the landing craft were constantly providing cover fire, while the defenders on the opposite side had no intention of relaxing.

Numerous undead archers are fighting back, while zombie-reduced former Northern Coalition soldiers operate their artillery or pick up their muskets again to fire at the enemy.

The banshee in the air has just killed a hundred or so soldiers when she runs out of negative energy rays, and diving and hugging will directly cause the soldiers to die from the erosion of negative energy, but the risk of doing so is that it is likely to be killed directly by a magic bullet.

Soon the landing force discovered serious problems: the artillery on the landing craft could not reach the opposite side in terms of range and ammunition, and although the undead had built too many coastal defense fortresses, the infantry on the front line could not rush through.

As a result, the soldiers who stayed at the coastal landing ground were killed in large numbers by artillery and undead girlfriends, and the first wave of troops that landed was about to lose a third!

"Major General Ye, the landing force is blocked and urgently needs artillery support, and they have no way to open the situation."

"Then push the cannon up, even if it's for me!"

The Major General shouted loudly, but knew in his heart that the soldiers could not do this, the guns mounted on the landing craft had no wheels, and even if they were unloaded, there was no way to move them to the beach quickly.

"There is no way, then there is only one way, order the convoy - all rush to the beach!"

"What do you mean ......"

"That's right, since there aren't enough artillery, let's let the convoy run aground at close range and become a fixed battery, if it fails here, the entire Overlord operation can't continue!"

"Understood, I'm going to deliver the order!"

The order of the rear admiral was quickly conveyed to the commanders of the convoy, and although it was quite acceptable that the beloved battleship was to run aground, there were indeed irrational fellows who refused the orders of the landing commanders.

However, in the face of the knives and pistols of the black-skinned dog and the commissar with the big cap, everyone chose to accept it gladly, and if they didn't care about the poor creatures who were thrown overboard, everything was perfect.

The beaching of the entire convoy was an absolute shock to the landing force, and such a large ship rushed up like this, and the damage caused by the impact process could almost be said to be scrapped.

But losses can never be calculated in this way in military wars, and the frigates, which became fixed batteries, quickly suppressed the undead coastal defense guns, and even opened a gap for the landing force that was blocked on the beach.

On the afternoon of D, the landing force opened a gap, and the naval fleet continued to face off, and the Scarpa Army Group was engaged on the outskirts of the city. (To be continued.) )
