487 kills before the battle
On the rough sea, Ceylon's landing force was already on the side of the ship, seeing the long coastline of Luzon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAlthough some places are steep cliffs, many places are also golden sandy beaches.
"Combat operations begin!" With a command over the loudspeaker, a huge rope ladder in the shape of a fishing net was thrown off the side of the ship and hung down the side of the ship to the surface.
"First Company! Climb aboard the dinghy! Fast! A company commander with a rifle shouted orders to his soldiers, who crowded the deck, and the uneasy atmosphere was depressing for everyone.
Climbing over the railings of the ship's safeguards, the infantrymen carried their weapons and bags on their backs, and little by little, carefully climbed down the rope ladder.
Watching the last familiar soldier climb over the railing and climb onto the rope ladder, the company commander and other officers also climbed over the railing and climbed along the rope ladder towards the boat.
"Second Company! Soldiers of the 2nd Company! Listen to me! Go up the rope ladder! Following behind the first company, the commander of the second company also shouted out the order, and at this time the sound of talking began to be heard on the deck, and the atmosphere was a little better.
Suddenly, the sound of machine gun fire could be heard in the distance, and everyone's eyes fell on the side from which the sound came out. I don't know what's going on in the distance.
"Watch your step! Don't look anywhere else! Fools! A Ceylon officer shouted a reminder to the soldiers around him.
Because of the sudden sound of gunfire just now, one of the unlucky fellows fell off the rope ladder with one foot in the air, and fell on the side of the boat at once, and overturned into the sea.
Because he was carrying a large number of weapons and ammunition on his body, as well as some daily necessities, it was impossible for him to float up, and the people below were scrambling to pick him up, but they found that there were no decent tools in their hands at all.
"Go on! Don't mess around! Watch your steps! Note! Don't fall down! If you think of that idiot, you're going to die! The commander of the second company shouted loudly.
Before his words fell, in the sky, a Ming Empire's Sky Breaking Type 2 fighter roared by. The 20 mm guns on the wings strafed the entire deck of the transport ship.
Two rows of bullet holes from the cannons were left on the side of the ship and on the deck, and some soldiers whose arms had been broken by bullets fell to the deck screaming.
There were also soldiers who had their heads shattered and pierced their chests, and these people could no longer scream, their bodies lying there straight, blood spreading across the deck as if it were leaking.
"Enemy planes! Enemy planes! Damn it! "The officers of Ceylon saw the planes of the Ming Empire passing past the transport ship, and they knew why the machine guns had opened fire just now.
There are no large numbers of anti-aircraft guns on the current warships to repel these threats from the air. Early battleships, including the advanced battleships of the British, were not equipped with decent anti-aircraft firepower.
The British were better, presciently armed with several specialized anti-aircraft guns of 40 mm caliber. However, their main anti-aircraft firepower is also machine guns installed on battleships against low-threat targets.
In this case, the planes of the Ming Empire simply entered a state of slaughter without threat. They are in a no-man's land, doing what they want to do.
Now, for example, shoot all the cannon ammunition you carry onto the deck where the enemy is standing full of soldiers. Leave two rows of bright red straight lines there, and then fly away.
Of course, this is just the beginning. When the Ceylon landing force thought it could rush to the beach under strafing fire, more planes joined the attack.
As if a flock of vultures hovering over the minced meat, the Ming Empire's Lei Gong 1 dive bombers rushed towards Ceylon's fleet one after another, accurately dropping the bombs they carried near Ceylon transport ships.
Soon, a Ceylon transport ship full of soldiers was hit by a bomb, and a huge explosion lifted the soldiers on deck into the water.
The bombs soon caused a great deal of casualties among the Ceylonese troops, who began to lose hundreds of troops before they had completed the pre-landing procedure of unloading the troops into small boats.
The Ceylonese soldiers, who had been out of proportion, stood on the deck and began to use their rifles and other weapons in their hands to frantically pour their ammunition into the sky.
However, because they did not have the necessary training, their results were very limited. The planes of the Ming Empire are still raging, and the losses of Ceylon are still increasing.
"Boom!" In the distance, the main gun of the battleship Guan Yu in Ceylon spewed a huge ball of flames. Miao Shengye, who was sitting on the Guan Yu and commanding the landing battle, finally lost his breath and began to order his battleships to shell Luzon Island.
This loud bang kicked off the Ceylon fleet's bombardment of Luzon, and the battleships Huo Qubing and Zhang Fei also followed behind and began a fierce artillery bombardment.
Dozens of 356 mm guns played their due role, creating a firing coverage area in the deep part of the island.
The huge explosion sent black smoke up hundreds of meters high, and the sand and branches on the island were lifted into the air, and then fell again, raising more dust.
Before the landing operation began, both sides had already taken out their most powerful forces and started a bloody battle. The planes of the Ming Empire attacked the ships at sea, and the warships at sea were also bombarding the positions of the Ming Empire's defenders on the island.
Because there were no special landing transport boats, the soldiers of Ceylon had to rush to the vicinity of the coast in small boats, and then change to small boats such as assault boats and rush to the shore.
Loading and unloading soldiers back and forth in this way is a test for the organization and command of the troops. Therefore, the landing operation method at this moment is still very backward.
The soldiers of Ceylon changed into small boats, and while they were drifting in the sea, some of the Ming Empire planes that had returned from running out of ammunition flew over their heads, causing them to scream incessantly.
"It's just a few dozen planes, and it's just a matter of sinking two of our transport ships, it's not a big deal!" Miao Shengye saw that most of the planes had run out of ammunition and left, and comforted his subordinates.
"Ignore their planes, it's just a little fight...... Just land on Luzon and we're half the win! Looking at the fleet that had already unloaded many soldiers, Miao Shengye, who was standing on the bridge of the battleship Guan Yu, said.
