Most of the four ports that landed were mainly commercial ports, there were no mine arrays outside the ports, and the escort force was transferred to the western front in large numbers, and the firepower was not very sufficient. Therefore, it is not difficult to land troops to fight under the cooperation of the inside and the outside. It's just that Suhaila is in a little trouble.

Colonel Pia Gilardino personally commanded the operation in a landing craft, and this time the War Office supported him with two types of landing craft. One is a ten-ton runabout that can carry forty heavily armed infantrymen. The other is a 300-ton tank landing craft, which can carry five 30-ton tanks or four 40-ton tanks, and can also carry three 50-ton tanks.

Both boats were specially designed for the Marine Corps by the famous designer Benito Brin, and the modifications are cheap, flexible and lightweight, and are loved by the Marine Corps.

Suhaila, like Howmet Suk, was as undefendable as the few coastal guns that were left to the ground were quickly wiped out by the navy's precise strikes.

Looking at the port from Pia Gilardino, the navy's heavy patrol high-explosive shells carried out a linear strike on the port, and rows of barrages kept falling, almost in a straight line, and the landing points were also progressive, washing every inch of land. This kind of artillery is definitely the trump card among the trump cards in the army, but the navy can actually use it by pulling a few ships, which makes him breathtaking.

As the landing craft got closer and closer, the landing point of the shells gradually advanced into depth. Suddenly, a 10-ton landing craft next to him exploded, and the waves almost overturned Pia Gilardino's boat.

"! Didn't the Navy point out the opponent's artillery positions? One of the majors next to Gilardino was a little alarmed.

Suhaila has an artillery regiment, consisting of the K39 150 mm howitzer machine and the K18 105 mm gun machine girl, the firepower is not strong, and the navy destroyed all the artillery positions where the battle started, which will not be able to carry out the attack. Gilardino was one of the few artillery experts in the War Department, and he could tell from the splash of the shells that it was not caused by those two types of artillery, but should be an 88 mm gun.

The only people who can have this kind of artillery are the feared tigers, or the tiger kings!

"It's a tank! There are tanks in the port! Navy! Notify the Navy's light cruisers of the designated ......"

But before he finished speaking, the slap in the face came, and several huge water columns suddenly exploded in the center of the landing craft group, and the rushing sea water directly overturned the two tank landing craft next to him. Before the major could speak, Gilardino shouted, "! K5 Train Cannon! It's Gabes' K5 train gun. ”

Ignoring the situation of the landing force, Gilardino began to close his eyes and command himself to turn the guns of the twelve K5 train guns at Haimitsuk and launch a return fire on Gabes. This situation is also expected, Gabes only has eight K5 train guns, and the original battle plan has a plan that it may be necessary to rush the beach with artillery, and then it will be necessary to wait for the bombers of the aircraft carrier to deal with these guys after dawn.

Fortunately, the rate of fire of the K5 train gun is relatively slow, and the strike effect on moving targets is not good, while the Italian Navy's large number of light patrol secondary guns are quite powerful, directly approaching the port and starting to wash the ground, 152 and 127 mm small water pipes are not painful in naval battles, but can hit on land, and each shell will cause a huge crater, which is full of power.

The battle was short and intense, and after the loss of seven or eight landing craft, dozens of tanks, more than three hundred marines, Pia Gilardino's landing force finally occupied the port area.

By the time Lisa Gratini stepped onto the docks, Suhaila's dock area had basically been calmed down. Butter stood beside him with a flattering face: "Miss Gratini, the oil storage area has been occupied, and now the marines are attacking the supply warehouse, it is better for you to return to the ship safely." ”

Lisa didn't pay attention to the fat man, but turned to Sissi and asked, "What did the town guard say?" ”

Of course, Sissi knew that Lisa was asking Xu Zhonglin, and generally the upper and lower ranks of the navy would only call each other's military ranks, and Xu Zhonglin was the highest commander of Haomait Suke, and he had a customary honorific title, which was called the town guard like the admiral who had a town guard mansion. Lisa's name shows her attitude towards Xu Zhonglin.

"An artillery bombardment has been launched on Sfax, and all the capital ships of the other side are in the harbor and have not come out."

The down-and-out aristocratic lady was very happy: "Haha, it seems that this time it is safe." ”

Sissi was more careful: "After dawn, we will launch an artillery bombardment of the troops coming to support with the help of reconnaissance planes, you better start organizing now and empty this place as soon as possible." "Xu Zhonglin asked Sissi to come to Suhaila to ensure the amount of land artillery projection here.

Lisa went up and hugged Sissi, and shook it gently: "Don't worry, this time the Admiralty has supported many of our transport ships and engineering machines, and I promise to empty this place within a day, and I will definitely not let your Admiral suffer." ”

"Phew! Don't forget that you have a share ...... too" Sissi wanted to say something, but found that Butter was still beside her, and waved her hand: "You did a good job, the Admiral is very happy." The previous agreement will definitely be fulfilled, now you go and grab it, except for the important material warehouse we marked before, everything else will be counted as your share, and we will have five or five points. ”

Butter owes and goes down excitedly. Although the strategic materials do not have their share, but there are many 'big dogs' in the city, he has already inquired clearly in the past six months, and some wealthy businessmen have rich family backgrounds, and he will drool when he hears it, even if he has to hand over half of it, the rest is a huge amount of money!

After Butter had gone, Sissi said to Lisa Glatini, "We have captured many of them this time, and there are more than twenty of them in Howmatsuk, and more than thirty here and in Gergis. These ships will definitely be returned to Austria-Hungary after the war, and the admiral means that after the list of prisoners is counted in the morning, you will carefully select them, and go back in the afternoon to gather the people together, and see if you can persuade a few to surrender, and take advantage of the current chaos to sign the secretary ship contract. When Garibaldi came, there was no such good opportunity. ”

Lisa Gratini understood in her heart, whether it was Sissi asking for a 50% kickback for butter in person just now or now everyone is 'cutting off' a few ship girls together, it is Xu Zhonglin's means to win over everyone, the benefits of 'blackmail' must be shared by everyone, and the ship girls who persuade them to surrender must also have a share. These small actions do not affect the overall situation, Garibaldi will turn a blind eye even if he knows, and if he wants the horse to run, he must give the horse grazing, and the big guy will not understand this truth.

The navy-born ship lady has always been a representative of high-quality ship girls, and is highly sought after by the admirals, usually their own domestic navy ship girls, even if they retire, they will be transferred to the reserve, and the admirals rarely have the opportunity to contract, this time if the admiral of Haomait Suke can each contract one, even if it is a destroyer ship mother, it is enough for people to rejoice and be grateful to Xu Zhonglin.
