Chapter 1438 The Grass (Part 1)
The naval guns were weak and were secondly fired. The key was the minimum 50 bomber waves required by the Expeditionary Command. The Navy actually dispatched only 20 of them. Four hours later, the kingdoms destroyed a lot of frontier positions, but the "heavy artillery" that really threatened them even blew the mudflats into a sea of fire.
It can be said that at this moment, Hong Ziyun, the old Black Hawk Empire, wanted to bite off a bite of meat. Instead, it was not the kingdom army that fought extremely tenaciously against each other, but the group of naval generals who were happy to see the defeat of the Imperial Army.
As for what mentality the Black Hawk Empire's naval generals had, they dared to work but not work hard at this moment when the two countries' decisive battle, probably because the army's gangs had already gained the upper hand in land warfare and were about to make great contributions to hundreds of thousands of kingdom troops.
In the early stage of the Haicheng War, because the Marine Corps was defeated by the Kingdom Army's superior forces, and in the end, they relied on the landing Imperial Army to rescue the siege. The navy was often ridiculed by the army, but at that time the two sides fought very anxiously, and the headquarters of the base camp was staring tightly. The navy, who felt the aggrieved, naturally did not dare to be too lazy at that time. However, the army had any requests, and basically helped each other.
But when the Haicheng District was occupied and hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kingdom were driven to the outskirts of Haicheng, the army imaginatively transferred 100,000 troops from the northern battlefield of the Kingdom to prepare to seize the retreat of the Kingdom people, and the decisive battle was about to win. The first decisive battle between this battle was that the weak Kingdom Navy sank its main ships in Nanjiang and Jiafujiang. The navy did not make any contributions except to dispatch ships and aircraft to support the army's operations, and there were also ships severely damaged by the terrible suicide bombing attack of the Kingdom Air Force pilots.
If nothing unexpected happens, when the imperial meeting discussed its merits after the war, the navy generals could almost think of the ugly faces of the army with their butts.
"I occupied the largest city in the East, I defeated hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, I..."
"What's the Navy doing? Isn't it just driving a ship built by the Empire with a lot of money to fish at sea! It was almost sunk by the Kingdom people on planes. It would be nice if the Empire didn't ask you guys to pay for money. I want to make a war, what about the face?"
However, in this time and space, as the 114th Division encountered difficulties in landing in Ashui Port, the little things that had been unhappy about the naval generals began to come alive. The kingdom people did a good job! They didn't let the army get ashore easily, yes, just do it like this.
It's really weird, but the Black Hawk Navy generals are just like this. If they weren't afraid of being spread to the headquarters of the base camp, the generals sitting on ships several kilometers away from the shore would want to raise their glasses and shout together with the telephone on the ship: "Okay!"
It’s simply simple to do nothing to do, dragging your back or something. If you want fifty naval orders, you have to launch fifty airplanes? I wonder if the sea is windy? If the old man can launch 20 airplanes, it’s all the result of the bravery and fearlessness of the Imperial Navy warriors?
Of course, although Hong Ziyun was so angry that he bit his teeth, he still had no choice but to use the naval men who were comfortable on the ship and the sea breeze and sunbathing. There were a thousand reasons why the bombing racks were not enough and the bombing density of ship guns was not enough.
The Kingdom defenders of Ashui Port became the ultimate beneficiary of the conflict between the Black Hawk Empire's navy and army. Although the Black Hawk Army on the sea continued to rush towards the mudflats, there were enemy planes hovering in the sky and dropping 250-pound bombs, and there were bombardment of large-caliber Black Hawk warships and naval guns on the sea, they miraculously defended their positions.
To be honest, even without the help of naval carrier-based aircraft, the Black Hawk Army's landing operations are not weak. The 200 guns of several main battleships have a range of up to 15 kilometers or even 20 kilometers. The shells weighing more than 100 kilograms can completely destroy the positions of an infantry platoon. Even those light destroyers, the range of 140 guns can reach 13 kilometers, and the kingdom army in the simple field fortifications on the shore is also very lethal.
Tao Xu, a famous general of the Kingdom Army. His 28th Army was under his command, and the 62nd Division was the infantry division with the strongest combat and willpower under his command. In the play, the two infantry companies of his 62nd Division and an artillery company were together with a battalion to fight against the landing Black Hawk Army for nearly half a day. When Ashui Port was occupied by the Black Hawk Empire Army, the 62nd Division, which was relocated back to the battlefield of Ashui Port by the Third War Zone, set up defenses and blocked the Black Hawk Army in Wuguanfeng and Fenghuang Mountain, and gave the Black Hawk Army major damage in Wuguanfeng and other places.
The soldiers of the Neji County, who are famous for their good fighting and courage, were in the battle of Wuguanfeng. In the Battle of Wuguanfeng, 800 soldiers, including Zhang Kongyi, the commander of the 367th Regiment of the 62nd Division, Xie Kangquan, and other 800 soldiers, were all heroic and died. The 367th Regiment, and the entire regiment was killed and killed. One row, one company or even one battalion was completely killed. It was not uncommon in the great Patriotic War, but it was rare for the entire regiment to retreat and the entire army to be heroic.
Qiu Tong's army was famous for sending the most troops and for not retreating to defend their positions; Xizhou army was remembered by later generations for their bravery and good combat; Neji County's sons also proved themselves with their blood and sacrifice in this national war.
The commander of the Black Hawk Army, Hong Ziyun, only saw his landing troops wailing under the mountain cannons where the number of kingdom troops was not very large, but what Dai Flemerre, the loyal war correspondent of the Zhouhui Kingdom, saw was the heroism of the kingdom army.
In order to obtain first-hand battlefield information, the war reporter who was finally serving took off a heavy cruiser that was four kilometers away from the shore and came to the battlefield where artillery fire was everywhere.
The Black Hawks fell down in artillery fire and fell in vain on the muddy beach in the strafing of machine guns, which was a completely hellish scene, but in his telescope, the few kingdom troops, which were also extremely miserable.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! A heavy gun fell, and the heavy machine gun position that was still spitting out the flames just now no longer existed, along with at least 30 soldiers around it. Not to mention that simple field trenches dug in the southern water town, which were only 1.5 meters deep and soaked with half a meter of mud and water, could not withstand the bombardment of 200mm naval guns, even permanent fortifications covered with steel cement and steel plates, could not withstand the several bombardment of such large-caliber heavy guns.
Although Mashou Castle defeated the 36th Infantry Regiment, it was a good choice for the geographical location. The Black Hawk Army did not dare to use large-caliber naval guns. If it used 200mm naval guns, no matter how brave Liu Jing's troops were, they could be blown into ashes when the gods came. The reinforced concrete walls of Mashou Castle were more than 1 meter thick could barely withstand the bombardment of 150 heavy artillery.
After the war, the war correspondent walked towards the occupied Kingdom Army positions. Large craters with a depth of 3 meters and a diameter of four or five meters were proved to the war correspondent with a hideous face to prove the terribleness of large-caliber naval guns. It was hard for him to imagine how the kingdom people lived under such a terrible bombardment and fired bullets at the enemy.
But the fact is that he was lying in the mud for a whole day, and the gunshots of the kingdom people never stopped on the opposite position, even if the position was destroyed again and again.
Because his eyes could not see further away, the Kingdom army was organized into a reserve team in a company. Each infantry company on the current line was injured and injured, and an infantry company would quickly replenish its position.
The greatest sorrow of the Black Hawk warship guns for the kingdom soldiers is that countless comrades can no longer see them, but their biggest function is that they do not need to rebuild fortifications and excavation positions.
The giant craters are the best bunkers. You just need to use a shovel to shovel out of the place where you land, and you can hide inside and continue to shoot bullets at the Black Hawks.
Until the next shell or aircraft arrives.
