Chapter 512: Task change

"We are not here for landing operations..." A young Marine Corps soldier inserted extra magazines into his tactical vest and asked the officer next to him: "Damn it, why did you come here temporarily? ?"

"I heard that the demons are slaughtering in Shakburn, we are going to drive them away and rescue the civilians." His captain checked his m4 assault rifle with a grenade launcher, and replied without raising his head. He pulled the gun and heard a clear sound, which allowed the gun to return to its place.

"Those people support demons. Wouldn't it be better to let them die?" Another soldier hung a grenade on his chest and sorted out his pockets full of magazines.

The deck of the battleship they were on was full of uh-60 Black Hawk helicopters that had begun to rotate their wings.

And beside them, a landing craft has started its engine, and the huge noise of the hovercraft makes people have to speak with their throats.

This battleship is the only amphibious landing ship carried by the Ailan Hill naval fleet this time. It can only carry a fully armed marine regiment when it is fully loaded.

Because it did not expect to perform the landing mission, it only carried one battalion of soldiers.

After all, this time the navy is carrying out a rescue mission to the south. They are preparing to find a way to transport as many refugees as possible near Shakeben. Therefore, although this fleet carried more than 30 large transport ships, it did not arrange for a large number of soldiers to accompany it.

If you bring one more soldier, you will have to bring three or four fewer refugees when you retreat. This is because soldiers need a lot of logistical supply and support resources, while refugees can be aggrieved and do not need weapons and other guarantees.

However, as soon as the battle on the navy side began, Lawnes realized that if his ground troops did not go up and fight, the demon might not retreat immediately. The opponent will withstand Ailan Hill's naval attack, slaughter as many humans as possible before leaving.

In order to drive away the chaotic demons, Lawnes decided to land his only marine battalion and occupy the port to cover the retreat of the refugees.

"All soldiers hurry up and prepare! The fleet is clearing the enemy ships in the harbor, and it will be our turn soon!" In the broadcast, a majestic voice sounded, overwhelming the noisy mechanical noises.

"Oh my God! There are no heavy armored vehicles, no tanks... There is no cover, the landing station is full of enemy port cities... What a joke." With his chin held high, a soldier complained while looking at the radio speaker above his head. Tao.

They are only a light land combat battalion equipped with only some light weapons. This time they should be implemented to maintain public order on transport ships and suppress enemy forces that may be mixed with civilians.

"Shut up! Hurry up and tidy up your weapons and equipment, we are going to board the ship! A company may have already started action there!" The company commander of B company walked over at this time, holding a helmet and yelled, and walked towards The hovercraft that has started.

Inside the hovercraft, there are several light armored vehicles that have been fixed on the deck with ropes, and the crew members are doing the final inspection. On the sides of the hovercraft, behind the two automatic guns that covered the landing, the gunners were ready and gave their thumbs up.

On the deck, the soldiers of Company A had bent their waists, bowed their heads and walked towards the Black Hawk helicopters that had started their engines. In front of these Black Hawk helicopters, the Cobra gunship that also started the engine has slowly risen from the deck, and the rockets mounted under the wings are majestic and full of momentum.

"Move fast!" Standing next to a helicopter, the company commander of Company A waved his arm to signal his subordinates to move more cleanly.

Most of these soldiers, carrying weapons and carrying as much ammunition as possible, have already climbed onto their own helicopters.

The back doors of the two ch-47 transport helicopters over there have begun to close, and the cabins are filled with various weapons, including anti-tank rocket launchers and anti-aircraft missiles, with direct mortars, and ultra-light terrain for transporting these. car.

The moment the tail hatch closed, the ch-47 transport helicopter left the deck, followed the uh-60 helicopters that had already taken off in front, and flew towards the distance.

Watching the penultimate helicopter take off, the company commander of company A got into the uh-60 Black Hawk helicopter beside him, and gave the front co-pilot a sign that he could take off. The black hawk also flew, and the fuselage Accompanied by the rotation of the engine, there was a slight jolt.

In the not-so-spacious cockpit, there were company communication equipment, signal soldiers, and two super **** puppets sitting silently on the plane.

While these helicopters took off, Ailan Hill's 1st Support Fleet on the sea had been shelling for almost an hour.

They fired thousands of Tomahawk cruise missiles and fired at least 300 rounds of 406 mm naval artillery shells.

As the insistence of an old navy, Lawnes insisted on attacking his enemy within line of sight. Despite the radar fire control, although he could fire safely at a distance of more than 100 kilometers, he was still willing to beat him at a distance of 20 kilometers. His goal.

With the support of the advanced fire control system, the 406mm caliber naval gun has a very high hit accuracy. Every salvo will cause an enemy ship to be hit and detonated. The entire port of Shakeburn is now almost like a demon warship. The cemetery is out.

Standing on Cambridge, watching the destruction of his enemy, Lawnes looked at his adjutant again and asked: "The landing troops have already set off, right?"

"Yes! General! Our landing troops have set off, and we have almost cleared the harbor." The adjutant replied, looking at the scene in front of him.

Within their visual range, the demon warships had few targets for firing, and there were more smoke pillars in the city. The sky was full of Ailan Hill fighters, those demon bats in groups, There is also the raging dragon, which has disappeared.

The demons had indeed been suppressed, and they were specifically for the purpose of slaughtering humans, and they had no plans to fight to the end with the main fleet of Ailan Hill in Shakburn.

To put it bluntly, these demons are not here to really fight to the death. From their configuration, it can be seen that this is not a real main force of demons at all.

They have no floating castles, and no more dragons. There are no large-scale engineering weapons on the ground that can kill human walls in seconds, and there are no hordes of high-level magical demons.

In terms of scale, this is just an ordinary army of demons, and the fleet is just the "leftovers" that have survived the attack of Ailan Hill.

When Lawnes confirmed the landing force, his fleet opened fire again, sifting the largest demon warship that had already started to capsize with thick smoke.

The destroyer has already begun to shoot close, and the 130mm naval gun equipped on the bow of the ship is constantly using a very high rate of fire, pouring artillery shells on a demon warship that has been unable to fight back.

Every shell hits a steel plate that is not too heavy, leaving a huge hole. The sea water poured into such a hole, and the demon warship sank quickly.

At least in naval battles, the devil's naval fleet was only slaughtered when facing the Ailan Hill battleship.

Soon, dozens of helicopters that took off one after another skimmed over the sea, passed the hovercraft that was advancing fast, and first arrived at the port full of smoke.

"My God... this is... too miserable." An Ailan Hill soldier leaning against the window looked at the city that had been looted and sighed in shock.

"That open space can be landed! The gunship has established a fire cover nearby! We will return when you get down!" The co-pilot in front of the helicopter turned his head and shouted to the slightly nervous soldiers behind him.

The leading officer gave him a thumbs up, and the uh-60 helicopter began to slow down over the hard-to-find open space.

Then, the helicopter began to slowly descend its height, and the cannon under the nose of the flying ah-1 Cobra gunship spewed out tongues of fire, and fired dense shells at the demon dogs trying to approach the landing site in the distance. .

Those shells hit the masonry street, splashing white smoke. Several demon dogs were shot and fell to the ground, and the rest were scattered as birds and beasts and disappeared at the end of the street.

"Wow!" Approaching the ground, the side door of the hu-60 Black Hawk helicopter was pulled open by the soldiers. When the helicopter's landing gear just touched the ground, the Marines in the cabin rushed off the plane.

"Find cover! Establish a defensive position!" A squad leader subconsciously shouted to his soldiers as soon as he jumped off the plane.

There are still **** corpses on the ground, some of them are devil dogs and demon soldiers killed by gunships, some are civilians, and some are soldiers of the Southern Kingdom in armor.

"Damn it!" A soldier had just ran forward two steps when he was stumbled upon by the half of the corpse left by the devil dog to eat. He struggled to get up, only to find that his palm was smeared with blood that was about to dry up.

He looked down at his chest, and there was also a lot of blood on his chest. He cursed angrily, and reluctantly picked up his weapon to follow the footsteps of his comrades.

"Set the highest point on the building over there! Turn on the identification device! Don't be killed by your own cannonballs!" After getting off the plane, the platoon leader pointed at a building that was not destroyed by bombing in the distance. Shouted.

Hearing his order, several soldiers who arrived on the same plane standing beside him nodded slightly, and then ran to the vantage point in the distance with the launcher of the heavy anti-tank missile in a group of two.

An armed helicopter skimmed over everyone's heads, and rockets on the two wings were constantly launching. The smell of burning gunpowder wafted on the battlefield, which made every soldier in Ailan Hill at ease.
