Chapter 307: The Finale, The New American Empire (2)
Beach landings after the early 20th century have always been extremely brutal. Even if the United States has an overwhelming weapon advantage over Dongying, it still pays a huge price in this kind of battle. Even the giant naval guns of later generations and the heavy bombs dropped by aircraft could not completely wipe out the underground fortifications, let alone the current European coalition forces. Adam should not have given the kingdom time to react, and with the use of engineering equipment bought in the 21st century at any cost, the entire kingdom had all the defenses of the coasts suitable for the landing of the Grand Fleet impregnable.
At a glance, I saw that the coast was full of barbed wire, layer upon layer. The sharp spikes on the barbed wire make everyone dare not ignore them. Behind the barbed wire, there are trenches that seem chaotic but full of strange laws, and if you attack any of them, you will be attacked from the left and right. The trenches were topped with huge sandbags of skill, as well as a number of light machine gun and mortar positions, far more numerous than the number of light machine guns and mortars.
And in the middle of the trenches, hexagonal semi-buried machine-gun fortresses were scattered around. Behind each of the three openings facing the sea was a Makqin heavy machine gun, and Xiao Lin had made a lot of money, and this kind of heavy machine gun was produced in 6,000 units, all of which were arranged in 2,000 fortresses. On the sides of these fortifications, in some valleys or sheltered places, there were full of tanks No. 3, Type 59 and armored vehicles. If the enemy thinks that no one has rushed in here, they will really feel real despair.
In the face of tanks and armored vehicles, the European coalition forces had no means to stop their slaughter. Of course, armored vehicles and tanks appeared, and it was impossible for the artillerymen not to appear. 82mm mortars were pooled and used in companies. Rapid-fire guns, mountain artillery, howitzers, and heavy howitzers each have an artillery position, which is not in the same place, but they can all support the frontal battlefield, and can even hit targets 600 meters from the coast. This distance is sufficient, if it is too close, it is difficult to avoid danger.
When Adam and the others arrived, the weather was just right, and the wind was beautiful. They didn't know that they were followed by two repaired submarines, and their whereabouts along the way were known by the kingdom's troops. Early in the morning, the royal army finished breakfast in order and immediately entered their respective positions. It has to be said that the environmental conditions in North America are good, and even without careful maintenance, these weapons still do not have any problems. An army of 300,000 people, each with wide eyes, looked at the sea.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the appearance of the fleet could already be clearly seen on the sea. Observers and officers with binoculars could also see the enemy on the ship, and after a week of adjustment, the morale of these European coalition forces was finally restored, and they were no longer as depressed as they had been after being attacked and defeated by the Kingdom fleet, but were full of murderous energy. It is true that religious power can greatly boost the morale and will to fight of the army in a short period of time. Several commanders and fighters did not dare to be careless, and immediately ordered to enter the combat state.
The fighters opened the rifle extremely strong safe, and the gunners opened the shell box, and their hands were already half-stretched in. Adam, with the fleet, arrived at a distance of five hundred meters from the coast and had already discovered the arrangement on the coast. Xiao Lin didn't plan to hide and sneak attack them, it's all at this time, and the upright general trend is the right way. Adam was not familiar with the army, so he did not blindly command, the officers took over the command, and the fleet turned sideways and began to prepare for the bombardment.
Although Xiao Lin didn't plan to sneak up on them, he wouldn't be beaten obediently. Taking advantage of this time, the four artillery positions began to frantically adjust the firing parameters, and four thousand guns of various calibers began to spit flames. The fleets of the European coalition were still adjusting the direction of their hulls, and the surrounding sea was already splashing with columns of water, and some unfortunate warships had even been hit by shells, sawdust was flying, and many sailors fell from the decks of ships with wails. Even more unlucky, he was directly knocked out by the cannon that also fell from the ship, and kept sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Adam's battleship was lucky not to be shelled, but the two cruisers next to him were shelled. The loud sound made Adam's brain buzz.
"Damn, what's going on, where did the attack come from?"
"My lord, it seems to be on the hillside behind there. ”
"How is it possible, so far away, damn it, we have no way to hit there?"
"No, my lord, it's at least three thousand meters away from us, and we don't have weapons that have enough range. ”
"Damn, what are you doing in a daze, quickly get the army ashore, and then we'll retreat two hundred meters to support. ”
Adam saw with his own eyes the anxiety of the commander, the attack from three thousand meters away, the fleet really had no choice. The commander's choice is very correct, if he stays here at this time, he can only be sent to the bottom of the sea by the enemy one by one, it is better to quickly send the army to the shore, fight against the water, and fight to the death. Still, Sholin wanted them to do it. Not a single person in the entire coastal fortifications opened fire, just to let the enemy come up. There were no professional landing ships, and there were no waterproof bullets and gunpowder, so the ships could only get as far as they could.
In this way, many ships come and there is no way to retreat. Therefore, it can only be left as a fixed battery. Mortars are ready to bombard these ships at any moment. Ships docked, and white Europeans dressed in eight styles of military uniforms shouted and stepped onto the shore. Eight types of military uniforms, which look colorful and green, do not look like regular troops at first glance. Compared with the World War II German-style military uniforms of the Kingdom soldiers, it is clear at a glance that the Kingdom Army is the regular elite.
The fighters mostly skimmed disdainfully, aimed at their targets, and waited for the officer's order. The officers kept the fighters at bay, waiting until the enemy was in effective range before allowing them to fire. However, the artillery did not stop, howitzers and heavy howitzers continued to deal with the battleships, and rapid-fire guns and mountain artillery began to deal with the landing enemy army. The rate of fire of these two guns far exceeded that of howitzers, and the enemy's 300,000 army rushed up, densely packed with a large area, and did not need accurate aiming, just direct fire.
1,400 mountain guns and rapid-fire cannons turned the entire beach into a hell of flames, and one after another fire balls continued to appear and extinguish and reappear. Under this kind of reincarnation, there are European coalition soldiers who have become broken corpses. The mortars also began to wield, and the entire front line of the army, 1,500 assault mortars frantically poured shells at the rushing enemy, although the power was almost worse, but the rate of fire was even faster. Assault II guns also began to fire, and frigates and transports docked on the coast began to be dismantled and shattered by shells.
Finally, the European coalition forces rushed to the first barbed wire, and the number of dead and wounded had reached 30,000. The people in the front had already seen the sharp spikes on the barbed wire, but they couldn't stop, and they could only be pushed onto the spikes by the people behind them, and they were covered in blood. Before they could get up, the kingdom warriors were already firing. Xiao Lin has not gathered 300,000 rifles and machine guns of the Type 56 gun family in the past two years, but the Yanhuang series of rifles is also several times stronger than Hall.
All of a sudden, the European coalition men were greeted by a rain of bullets. Countless people fell, and before they even let out a wail, they were sawn into pieces of meat by the chainmail of machine-gun fire. Many European soldiers began to shoot, and Hall M1819 at least kept them from being beaten and unable to fight back. However, this kind of return fire did not have much effect, and at a distance of more than two hundred meters, most of the bullets fired by Hall M1819 hit the sandbags, and rarely posed a threat to the fighters behind.
However, there were also quite a few soldiers who were extremely unlucky, and were bitten by Hall's bullets and had to be carried to the rear by the medics. Although it was a minor injury and did not hurt the limbs, it was difficult to catch up with this big battle. You know, this can be an extremely rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Basically all the wounded fighters were forcibly carried down, otherwise they would not leave. On the other hand, Adam was anxious in his eyes, and if he had been kept out of the barbed wire, he would have been able to see his defeat in this war.
Adam forcibly ordered the Templars to land with the coalition cavalry. Adam was also afraid that they would be attacked by artillery, but there was no artillery to leave the 20,000 cavalry. After all, these cavalry are too few in number and have strong mobility, so it is better to fight them than to fight more infantry. Besides, Sholin had already prepared an opponent for them. By the time the first cavalry came ashore, the armored unit had already received orders from their superiors. All the vehicles are igniting and starting to adjust, ready to come out at any moment to intercept.
All the places that are not covered with barbed wire, in which armored units are hidden. The place is small and cannot accommodate a large army, but it is no problem for a small number of cavalry to assault, but there are "evil dragons" lurking inside. As the Templars rushed in with elite Polish and Swiss cavalry, they saw tanks and armored vehicles facing their guns. The leading Templars were about to shout when tank guns, large and small, had already opened fire. Suddenly, the cavalry striker who was running called a man to turn on his back.
The cavalry behind also urgently pulled the horses, so that they did not trip over the corpses of their comrades in front. However, the fact that they did not come did not mean that the tanks and armored vehicles did not come, and the tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns fired together, constantly slaughtering these cavalry. Adam and the others could only see bursts of fire coming from inside, and they couldn't see the details at all. Before they could despair, a new twist occurred on the battlefield, dozens of huge ellipsoids flew from the sky, and some iron bird-like objects flew around them.
But the kingdom's air force finally appeared, and all the airships and fighters were loaded with various bombs, and Xiao Lin began to put an end to it.
