From the small personnel landing craft that had already washed ashore, one after another soldiers with infantry squads as the basic formation rushed to the beach and set up a vigilant formation that had been trained many times, and advanced towards the land above the high tide water level under alternate cover. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And behind them, a lieutenant of the Elta Marine Corps raised his hand and pulled the trigger of the flare gun. This scene was also captured by the military reporters with a wide-angle lens from the subsequent landing ship, and became the headline and cover picture of the major newspapers and magazines in the Elta Empire.

As soon as this flare is launched, it means that "Peterson Beach" has been safe, and the large landing ship can safely and worry-free to beach at this low tide.

This traditional beaching seems to be the end of the matter by simply sending the boat to the beach, but in fact it does not "seem" so easy at all. This flat-headed, shallow-bottomed, small-tonnage landing craft rushed to the beach, perhaps it was better to reverse and turn around and load and unload again, but the tonnage was not inferior to that of the 072, and the bow opening landing ship had to go ashore not only depending on the weather and place, but also the reversing could only be done at high tide......

In other words, this "controllable grounding" that exhausted the entire strength of the landing ship was not only not easy to achieve, but also involuntarily accomplished.

This is the reason why the major powers today are committed to "over-the-horizon landings" and "vertical landings". Before the enemy could react to the deployment of defenses on the beachhead, the hovercraft and helicopters that could advance and retreat at lightning speed were killed, and the end was mainly anti-passenger, and the passive became active.

But if you want to "transform" a hovercraft in this other world, and the dock landing ship that matches it, to play the so-called modern landing operation in front of the natives, this is a complete waste of money and resources. As for the risks, of course, there are, but any military action is bound to face risks, and this is also unavoidable.

Black smoke rose from the chimneys of the landing ships thicker than when the ship was pulled out and sailed, and waves suddenly set off in the coastal waters next to the beach. Then I heard a loud bang, and the lead-gray "sea wall" was poked straight ashore.

As soon as the bow door opened, the contents of the landing ship were naturally opened to the beach - the vehicles that allowed the soldiers to make room in advance, and the poles with ropes and conspicuous flags to isolate the soldiers from the soldiers were not armored transporters and tanks, but trailers, excavators, bulldozers, and building materials for the construction of docks, and the only "purely military equipment" was a cabin vehicle carrying command equipment such as radios and maps, which served as a front-line command post for the troops on shore.

The scattered landing units also regrouped on the beach at this time, and then received orders from the front-line command post to advance or hold on to the spot.

At this time on the shore, the strength of the Celta Marine Corps was still only one battalion, although it was not a problem to rush the defenders of the Bilunar Church on the whole island in one swoop, but it was not enough to disperse to maintain security and order in various places. On the orders of the front-line command post, the two companies worked together to take the woods and bushes facing Peterson Bank, and then stayed where they were, waiting for the next order.

"This is your most elite soldier?" At this time, Peterson, who was standing on the bridge of the landing ship Liberation and condescendingly watching the dynamics of the front line with the Chinese and Egyptian officers, could not help but feel a little embarrassed -- because he saw two hundred-man units standing still and stagnation after "taking" the bushes, which was obviously a great opportunity to rush up and take the entire Banye Island.

"No, I think they're the best workers. Look at them again. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Peterson looked incredulously at the bushes outside the telescope. In a matter of minutes, the guns in the hands of the soldiers had somehow changed to their backs, and they had all kinds of tools in their hands, and what they were doing was a job that the "righteous teachers" of the Two Moons Church disdained......

The squad leader pulled the trumpet and stamped his feet to take the lead in waving the wooden saw in his hand, while the soldiers followed the rhythm of the commander, whether it was a Marine officer with a star on his shoulders or a Navy officer and sailor ashore, none of them were grinding or lazy on the side, this scene frightened Peterson so much that his jaw almost fell to the ground, and he couldn't spit out a word.

The tradition of labor of the Marines of Elta was of course inherited from their teachers, and the sight of officers and soldiers working together as one could only be found in modern troops, and such a situation could not have been possible in a feudal army like the Church Army.

For example, if you want to clean up a bush, the Bimoon Church Army will only pay for people to clean it up, and of course you have to sit on the sidelines and watch the show from top to bottom, which is a matter of course. If this is the case now, then it will be a small soldier like Peterson who sweats and does his best, and his clergy boss, who has been broken in the neck of the beacon and is bleeding dry, will naturally watch the play with his feet crossed, and if it is good, he will take it all by himself, and it will not be their turn at all.

Naturally, the bushes were quickly uprooted, followed by all sorts of construction machinery wielding strange hands and saw discs. The trees that looked at least the size of the bowl didn't even need to be replaced with a saw cart, and the fingerless steel monster hand just came to the root for a moment, and the whole tree broke and fell down with a wailing.

As for the big trees that had stood there since Peterson was born, they had barely a slice of bread under the roar of the sawing pan and were wiped out in the sawdust in the sky. In about half a minute of Peterson's froze, a gap was opened in the woods on the beach that bears his name, and the woods that had once been large enough to hide him and a small army of the Bilunar Church were gone.

That's not all. Most of the soldiers lined up to return their tandem saws and longsaw axes, and instead dispersed to more subdivided posts. If the picture just now was just a "barbaric" logging site, now what is in front of him is already a "civilized" construction site.

Just on the site of the bush, a ready-made carpentry workshop has been set up. Huge bed saws were constantly splitting the trees into planks that had not yet dried, and some soldiers were wielding hammers and strange tools with ropes, assembling the planks that were clearly still wet into a wall.

Peterson was a good family man who could pick up a planer and saw to make a chair and table by himself, and he was a little confused about this practice of using undried wood. Only shade-dried wood will not be easy to breed pests, and people with conditions like to use magic heating to dry the wood (similar to a wood drying oven), and the worst will also dry the wood, and he really can't think of what this kind of wood can do without shade.

But he's not stupid either. The planks were quickly moved to the seashore and then inserted one by one into the sand, submerged by the rising tide, perpendicular to the shoreline. Peterson finally saw it - the people of the other world were going to fill it with sand so that they could make a trestle that led to the sea!

Of course, the Chinese side also has an artifact in its hands that can move mountains and reclaim the sea, which is the fast-drying cement. Although this fast-drying cement can be surface hardened within an hour or two after modulation, it can't continue to contact the water surface, right? The plank is to create an artificial waterless sand box on the surface of the sea, so that the cement has a chance to solidify into a.

As for the wooden board wrapped in quick-drying cement, there is also a hidden mystery. The moist wood made it difficult to penetrate the seawater, and the Elta Army pre-applied a layer of quick-drying cement slurry to it, and a plastic film was attached to the cement. In this way, although there is no guarantee that the artificial ditch will be completely dry, it is enough.

Before the main body of the pier was constructed, the soldiers additionally loaded sand in sacks on the beach, and then sent small personnel landing craft to throw it on the outside of the wooden wall. Of course, the fleet command did not fail to consider the all-purpose reclamation combination of heavy-duty earthmoving vehicles and strange hands, taking soil from the inland and dumping it on the beach, but in the end, it was still abandoned because of the road conditions and the terrible consumption of logistics by military off-road vehicles.

If these two points can be guaranteed, then what Peterson sees now is not a trestle pier that is still gradually extending, but several earthen embankment piers protruding dozens of meters from the beach, with a temporary breakwater that is under construction and is nearing completion!

But Rao is such a project progress, and it can be regarded as shocking in his eyes. In parallel with the trestle pier constructed of cement + sandbags, there is also a water desalination (there is a corresponding magic to complete the desalination work), a unified disinfection reservoir project, camp tents and supply station construction works.

While Peterson and the rest of the people on the landing ship were taking turns eating lunch in the ship's canteen, the soldiers on the ship were already lining up to receive the lunch delivered from the landing ship's canteen. As for what the people on the ship ate and what the people under the ship ate, Peterson, who had not yet eaten on deck, could see it clearly.

In order to alleviate the great logistical pressure, the landing ship will serve as a field kitchen for a period of time after storming. As for the meal, it was the same, and for the sake of hygiene, the bread or sandwiches were excluded, so every soldier and everyone on board was given the same bowl of noodles with soup - in addition to meat and necessary vegetables, the soup also had a lot of electrolytes added to it, just in case the officers and soldiers had an accident under the scorching sun of Banba Island.

Officers and men work together, eat together, and live together. An inexplicable warm current welled up in Peterson's heart. Coupled with the strength of moving mountains and reclamation, it is no wonder that the Western Expeditionary Army, which he sees as an "invincible army", will be crushed and swallowed alive in its entirety. If the Twin Moons had abandoned the strict hierarchy that seemed to him to have become a joke, and was like a sibling like the Elta Marines, why would he now want to nest on this island and become his own family?
