Chapter 262: Sunset (5)

"If you want to vomit, throw it up now! If you vomit when you go ashore, you should fucking vomit blood! The rough-faced non-commissioned officer stood at the hatch of the landing craft and shouted, "Don't be like a girl who has never seen the world, wait until you rush to the beach, don't say anything, just rush to the beach!" ā€

"Wow~~~" As soon as the non-commissioned officer's words fell, a young soldier had already spit out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The colleagues around him quickly stepped forward to water him and fed him anti-motion sickness medicine.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, a cannonball fell on the sea not far away, stirring up a column of water that soared into the sky. Flying sea water poured onto the landing craft and doused several soldiers in the soup. The landing craft shook and the soldiers staggered.

At this moment, the twin machine guns mounted in front of the left side of the landing craft began to fire fiercely, and the yellow-orange-orange shells jumped in all directions and fell to the deck with a crisp sound.

As we got closer to the shoreline, the density of shells falling near the landing craft began to skyrocket, and the nearby sea water boiled like a boiling pot. With a few loud bangs, the flames rose into the air, and several unlucky landing craft were directly hit by shells fired from the coast, and were immediately blown to pieces.

Originally, it was not easy to directly hit such a high-speed landing craft, but now there are too many landing craft that have rushed to the middle of Seto Beach, and the probability of being hit after a certain density is naturally increased.

"NN bears." The bearded non-commissioned officer looked at a landing craft not far away being blown in two, retracted his head, and spat vigorously, "All ready!" Get ready to strike! ā€

The soldiers stood up, nervously swallowing their saliva, clenching their weapons tightly. The soldiers in two rows hunched over and hid in the landing craft, staring at the gate not far ahead, listening to the deafening explosions and gunfire, and glancing at the huge column of water near the landing craft out of the corner of their eyes, the tension in their hearts had reached the extreme.

'Z~~~ Knock! The landing craft came to a halt abruptly, and the soldiers staggered. As soon as they regained their stability, with the sound of a metal winch turning, the gates of the landing craft finally began to fall, and the cruel battlefield gradually unfolded in front of them.

"Rush !!" The sturdy non-commissioned officer jumped out of the hatch before it was fully opened, and ran forward with the submachine gun in his hand firing fiercely.

Looking at the scorching ballistics flying in the sky, the soldiers were slightly stunned and then quickly rushed out of the landing craft, firing desperately in the general direction ahead, while pulling their legs and running wildly. When I was trained to land before, the instructor explained that those who were in a daze on the landing field and those who were slow to move were always the fastest to die, and this kind of fool could not live for more than a minute.

No one wants to be a mortal fool, and everyone wants to live for just one minute. The soldiers rushed out of the landing craft and ran forward at full speed until they found a place to hide.

Not everyone is so lucky. As soon as many landing craft lowered their hatches, they were locked by the light and heavy machine guns in the Japanese bunker, and then a dense rain of bullets swept over, and a large number of soldiers were knocked down on the deck of the landing craft in a series before they could rush out of the landing craft.

Many soldiers tried to jump over the landing craft and into the sea to avoid the Japanese bullet rain. In fact, when the bullet enters the water, it will not pull out of the trajectory to continue to kill people, and the bullet will shatter under the huge force, and will not penetrate the sea water like in the movie.

However, the equipment that the soldiers carried was too much and too heavy. In particular, those soldiers who carried additional equipment and supplies fell into the sea and became iron lumps. No matter how good you are in the water, with so much equipment, no one can escape the fate of drowning.

In the first attack wave, more than 3,000 officers and men of the Marine Corps ran desperately on the narrow beach like a colony of ants that had blown up their nests. Under the rain of bullets and artillery bombardment, they rushed to the Japanese positions not far away. From time to time, people are knocked to the ground, or they are sadly stepped on a mine and blown up. The landing beach was a blood-red color.

"Squad leader!" Song Tieniu, who was curled up and hiding behind a pile of stones, waved desperately to his squad leader He Dazui, who was not far away.

He Dazui, who was holding a submachine gun in both hands, quickly fell to Song Tieniu's side, panting heavily, "What about the others?" Just you? ā€

"I don't know!" Song Tieniu desperately shrank back and tried to avoid the rain of bullets flying around, shouting at the top of his voice, "It's all messed up, I don't know where everyone is." ā€

As a unit that participated in the Ryukyu landing operation, He Dazui and Song Tieniu's unit was naturally arranged into the landing force, and it was also the first attack wave in the main attack direction. Who gave them the experience of a successful landing operation.

"Damn, hiding here will be a death sooner or later, rush over! Rush under the embankment and you'll be fine. Follow me! He Dazui raised his hand and patted Song Tieniu's steel helmet, took a deep breath and rushed out.

Song Tieniu gritted his teeth and smashed a punch on the beach, got up and rushed out. He felt that he had never been so agile in his life, even if he was chased by a dog as a child, he could not run as fast as he was now.

"Kill to give~~~" The Japanese firepower points that survived the shelling and air raids began to shoot fiercely, and who could care about saving bullets at this time. The Japanese defenders began to pull the trigger desperately with red eyes, and the barrels of the machine guns were already red.

The Japanese 13th Infantry Wing, stationed in the coastal position, had been reduced by nearly half of its strength in the previous bombardment. Moreover, they have to defend several kilometers of coastline, and their forces are obviously overstretched. However, after the landing battle of the Ming Dynasty began, Major General Tokutaro Sakai, the commander of the 11th Brigade, had personally rushed over with the soldiers of the 47th Infantry Wing and the brigade headquarters as a reserve.

After the landing battle was launched, the artillery support of the Ming Navy was not weakened, but strengthened. However, in order to avoid accidental damage, naval shelling began to extend to the rear of the Japanese coastal positions for blockade fire. And a large number of Ming fighters hovered in the sky to attack any Japanese target they discovered.

Tokutaro Sakai's reinforcements only traveled a distance of about a kilometer, but they lost almost half of their troops!

The Ming assault troops, exposed on the open beach, were also uncomfortable, and the accuracy of the shooting of the Japanese regulars was very amazing. The accuracy of their 38-style cavalry rifles left the Ming medics exhausted on the beach. Moreover, the Japanese army was very fond of shooting the Ming ambulances, which led to a large number of casualties among the Ming army.

In addition, the 6th Division, which had been reconstituted as a standing division, was equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and artillery, which had escaped shelling and bombardment, and caused great damage to the Ming troops on the beach in hidden places.

In the more than 20 minutes that the soldiers of the second attack wave rushed to the beachhead in landing craft, the Ming soldiers of the first attack wave suffered more than 1,000 losses. The beach was littered with the corpses of Ming soldiers who had died in battle and the wounded screaming in despair. The rain of bullets, flames, and the blood-stained sea showed everyone a bloody battlefield.

Watching the surviving Ming officers and soldiers hiding behind various obstacles and shooting fiercely at the Japanese army, and looking at the terrifying scene like a bloody hell in front of them suddenly made everyone's hearts tighten.

The tank landing craft that had not been able to keep up with the first attack wave due to a coordination error finally came up. And they became the decisive force in this landing operation.

"Aim! Aim! Knock it out! In a hidden fortification behind the embankment, the Japanese artillery commander was sweating profusely and ordered his anti-tank guns to shoot at the Ming tanks that were crushed from the beach not far away.

It was a 76 mm anti-tank gun supported by the Americans, capable of destroying any tank the Japanese themselves when loaded with armor-piercing shells.

There were only three such anti-tank guns on the entire Seto beach. This is also the only weapon of the Japanese army against the Ming tank!

"Boom!" Long flames erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and an armor-piercing projectile slammed into the front armor of a Ming tank at a super-high speed, splashing dazzling sparks before being ejected far away!

"Nani?!" The Japanese artillery commander's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe that at such a close distance, such a powerful cannon could not penetrate the armor of the Ming tank.

The Marine Corps is also equipped with Tigers, and a modified large landing craft can only transport one Tiger at a time, which is naturally extremely powerful. If the landing craft could not be sunk while it was being transported by sea, then by the time the tigers came ashore, the Japanese army would have a tragedy.

Twenty-one tigers roared and washed up on the shore. The appearance of these Dinghaishen needles in the army immediately made the soldiers on the coast who were suppressed and suffered heavy casualties cheer. The morale of the Ming army suddenly rose.

"Keep up! Hurry! With a smug smile on his face, He shouted and ordered the soldiers around him to step forward and follow behind a tiger and drive towards the embankment. The various firepower of the Japanese army hit the tiger and had little effect. The Tiger, which uses a new laser sight, can destroy a point of fire with almost a single shot when firing at close range.

"Stand up for !!" Tokutaro Sakai's eyes were red as he watched the Daming tanks that were getting closer and closer, and his throat began to smoke as they smashed the embankment and entered the defenders' positions.

A large group of shirtless Japanese soldiers, with menstrual cloths wrapped around their heads, and anti-tank mines and explosives packs on their chests, immediately ran from the trenches.

"Gentlemen!" Tokutaro Sakai shouted, "This is your hometown, and we have no way back!" If you don't want your parents, brothers, sisters, and children and grandchildren to be slaves of the Ming Dynasty for generations, you will fight to the death! ā€

"Hi Yi !!"

Sakai Tokutaro raised his head and drank the wine bowl in his hand dry, and after taking a breath, he smashed the wine bowl in his hand to the ground, "Kill it!! (To be continued.) )
