488 Man-eating beaches

On the sea, one Ceylonese transport after another sailed from the sides of the larger transport to the beachhead, all of them crowded with soldiers, holding their weapons and feeling the sea breeze in their faces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A soldier wiped the splash of water from his face and looked at the golden sand in the distance, where soldiers were already wading through the water, and everything was still so calm.

While he was looking at the lively scene on the beach, dozens of horizontal bombers of the Ming Empire flew overhead! These twin-engined Djinn 1 bombers dropped all the 100-kilogram bomblets they carried on the heads of the landing force.

One after another, steel fireworks bloomed near the beach, and some of them rolled up the sea and splashed everywhere.

The Ceylonese soldiers, who were densely packed on the beach, struggled in the bloody wind and rain, dying one after another.

"The enemy's beachhead defenses are not firing, but enemy bombers are attacking our landing force......" An officer reported to the battleship Sekiyu on the beachhead from a destroyer approaching the beachhead.

"My lord, the beachhead was bombed by enemy aircraft...... Our troops suffered heavy losses. Soon, the beachhead problem was fed back to Miao Shengye.

"Continuing to shell the depths of the enemy's troops, what is this loss? I'm ready to lose 10,000 soldiers on the beachhead! Miao Shengye threw away the casualty report and said coldly.

He knew that the Ming Empire would definitely take advantage of its air superiority and delay the landing of Ceylon troops here as much as possible.

But he is not a fool, no matter how strong the air force is, it is nothing more than a few skin wounds, and when his troops take the beachhead, everything will become irreversible.

"Let the troops continue to attack! Don't stop there and get beaten! Since the enemy has abandoned the beachhead, then we will immediately seize the landing ground and ensure that the follow-up troops will go ashore as soon as possible! He looked at the already dense ships on the sea, and then ordered.

On the Luzon position, Rui Mouguo put down the phone in his hand and looked at the Ceylon landing ground on the west side of the island, where he had prepared his troops and could carry out counterattack operations at any time.

The sound of artillery in the distance, as well as the vibration of the island beneath his feet, made him feel the strength of the enemy. There were several battleships firing, and they weren't a little more powerful than the artillery on land!

"How many of the enemy have come ashore?" He grabbed another phone and called the command near the beachhead observation post: "I want an update on the situation......

"About 1,000 people went ashore! They are expanding the landing ground and are about to encounter our troops on the position......" replied bitterly to the commander on the other end of the phone.

Obviously hearing the deafening artillery fire coming from the other side of the phone, Rui Mouguo thought for a while and replied: "Let the front-line troops fire and counterattack!" Kill as many enemies as you can! ”

Most of the troops deployed by Rui Mouguo on the front line were hiding under cover, and at this time they were quietly waiting for the order to open fire, and the troops closest to the front were even less than 50 meters away from the opponent with machine guns.

If it weren't for the camouflage of grass and leaves, they would have been discovered long ago. Soon the Ceylonese troops began to test the depths, and the soldiers of the Ming Empire also pulled the bolts of their guns after receiving the order.

"Suddenly! Dodo! In an instant, it was as if the entire beach came to life, and tracer bullets flew out from rubber forests and other places not far from the beach, weaving a net of fire on the beach.

And the first thing to do on this resurrected beach is to devour the lives of all the nearby Ceylon landing troops.

The Ceylonese soldiers fell unexpectedly because they were so sudden that they could not see where in the jungle in the distance they were firing at them, so they could only duck here and there like headless flies.

In a matter of minutes, more than 500 men of the Ceylon landing force fell on the beach, shouts for help were heard everywhere, blood spread everywhere, seeping into the golden sand.

The nearby sea was almost red with the blood of the soldiers from Ceylon, and many of the soldiers were still struggling in the sea before being hit by bullets and falling into the water.

The people in the back tripped over the corpses in front of them, and because the luggage on their bodies was too heavy, some of them just couldn't get up and drowned in the shallow water.

The battle went on like this, and one by one the soldiers of Ceylon fell, as if there was no end in sight. Soon the bodies were piled up on the beach to form bunkers, giving the later soldiers an area to hide.

"Hell! Damn it! Akito everywhere! In the air! An officer leaned against several corpses, looking at the rising waters and the troops struggling to waddle in the water, and complained loudly.

Beside him, another Ceylonese soldier tried to rush out, but as soon as he looked up, he was shot in the head and fell on the officer's body.

The blood stained the officer's clothes, and the warm corpse made him scream in fright, and the medics rushed over, thinking that the officer was wounded, and touched it for a long time before he looked at it with disdain, and then got up to leave.

At this point, the Ceylon troops on the beach didn't even know where the enemy was firing at them, and some of the troops finally rushed to the edge of the jungle and barely approached the defenders of the Ming Empire.

When they tried to climb over the grass, they sadly found that these places were hidden with a layer of barbed wire, and they had to use tools to break through before they could continue to walk.

After several attempts, the Ceylonese forces managed to blow up a hidden machine gun bunker of the Ming army, killing several of the Ming troops inside.

Unfortunately, before they had time to cheer and celebrate, they were suppressed by bullets coming from all directions. The defensive line here is not a single pillbox, but a monolithic position that can cover each other's operations.

Just when the soldiers of Ceylon were about to despair, Ceylon's Han-class battleships Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huo Quai, Li Guang and Han Signal, plus the Black Mountain, a total of 6 battleships, once again fired a dense cannonball.

Huge cannonballs whizzed by, smashing into the positions of the Ming Empire deep in the jungle, sending some hapless bunkers flying into the sky.

As the shells continued to fall, casualties on both sides skyrocketed, and after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the nearby Ming Empire troops began to retreat, and the Ceylonese soldiers occupied one trench after another, and began to advance deeper.

By this time, Ceylon had already left more than 7,000 corpses in the sea and on the beach.
