Chapter 407 407 Sudden battle

The landing force was fragile and disorganized.It is not an easy task to send soldiers to the beach in an organized way.

The ebb and flow of the sea water can easily affect the speed of the landing craft, and the Datang Group forcibly launched this military operation without even investigating the local hydrological conditions.

Frankly, this is a military venture, and it wouldn't be a surprise if it failed. The battalion commander of the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion was about to cry with anger from the troops who had already landed.

At least half of the landing troops of the 2nd Battalion did not carry their own weapons, a few had pistols, and some carried multi-purpose daggers.

They didn't have steel helmets, and they didn't have any backpacks. They were basically just people who went ashore, without any fighting ability at all.

The only thing these soldiers can do now is to stay on the beach and help pull the follow-up troops and equipment from the sea to the shore barefoot.

The situation of the 3rd Battalion is slightly better, but because of the distance, the number of them going ashore is now very small, only a few dozen people.

Therefore, until 2 hours after the landing began, the 1st Battalion was still the main force going ashore, and the number of landing personnel only increased to about 400.

Finally, a transport ship full of shells arrived at the beach, and the soldiers rushed to get the shells onto the beach.

In order to facilitate transportation, these shells are packaged in groups of two, using a hollow design with a large space, and the outside is coated with rubber seals.

In this way, the soldiers can carry these boxes ashore with the help of buoyancy, which is also a small detail considered in advance.

It's a pity that this design is only used on the shells, because the production of the shells' packing boxes is relatively easy, and only a slight adjustment is required.

At this moment, the general situation of the landing force is as follows: more than 100 soldiers are crowded on the beach, desperately getting the equipment in the sea to the shore.

Another 100-plus people were finding their establishments, sorting out their gear, and emptying the grit out of their shoes.

Therefore, the commander of the 1st Battalion has less than one company that can fight, and the soldiers of this company are from the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion and 3rd Battalion...

The entire unit has only one machine gun that can be used, and it has just been lifted to a small high ground on the edge of the beach, and a simple defensive position has been built under the cover of bushes.

On both sides of this position, there are more than a dozen soldiers temporarily setting up cover positions. This is the only defensive deployment of the entire landing force.

"Let the troops of the 1st Company find a way to establish a position on the flank! Deploy along the road just now..." Because there is no intelligence support from the reconnaissance troops, the commander of the 1st Battalion does not know the direction where the enemy may attack, so he can only Distribute and deploy the few troops in your own hands.

"Yes!" The squad leader who came back with the 1st Battalion Commander and found the ruins immediately went to deliver the order.

"If possible, send someone to control the ruins of the village and check it..." Before the squad leader could go far, the commander of the 1st Battalion added another order.

"Yes!" The squad leader nodded again, and strode towards the distant troops with his weapon in hand.

Ten minutes later, more than 50 soldiers left the beach and moved towards the road and the ruins of the village.

Looking at the defense line that had gradually begun to improve, the commander of the 1st Battalion was somewhat relieved. As more and more troops went ashore, the combat power available to him became stronger and stronger.

This is a good start. The enemy did not appear at the most chaotic moment when the troops just landed, at least allowing them to gain a firm foothold on the beach.

Even the commander of the 1st Battalion is now starting to imagine that the enemy has not found this landing force at all, and the counterattack is likely to come in a few days.

At that time, his troops had already assembled, completed their rest, and resumed their combat effectiveness.If this is the case, even if he faces ten times as many opponents, he still has the confidence to fight.

Just when the commander of the 1st Battalion was imagining that everything was going well, something not going well happened suddenly.

On the other side of the landing field, a group of small soldiers suddenly came out of the bushes, shouting frantically, and shooting with their guns.

The security force soldiers of the Datang Group who were sitting on the beach pouring sand from their boots were taken aback by this sudden change.Some people even lay down on their backs next to their boots before putting on their shoes.

The soldiers gathered in this direction happened to be the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion who did not have many weapons and equipment. Only a few soldiers drew out the revolvers on their waists and fired back.

The two sides started fighting so suddenly, and the goblin dwarfs, holding flintlock guns that were out of date, tried to rely on a fierce charge to drive the enemies still crowded on the beach into the sea.

If the flintlock guns were not fired in formation, the hit rate would be pitifully low. Therefore, the first round of shooting by these goblins did not actually cause a large number of casualties to the soldiers of the Datang Group.

There was only one soldier of the Datang Group who was trying to go to the bathroom on the edge of the landing site. Because he was too close to the enemy, he was hit by a bullet and fell into a pool of blood.

Then, this group of goblin soldiers from Mirage were taught to be human by Datang Group's S2 revolver and S3 semi-automatic pistol.

The dense gunshots echoed on the beach, accompanied by the sound of the waves, allowing the goblin soldiers who were trying to rush over to fight hand-to-hand to understand what despair is.The other party was obviously also confused, because this was completely different from what they had imagined.

However, the brave Mirage soldiers continued to rush out of the bushes, desperately trying to get close to the scattered landing site of the Datang Group's landing soldiers.

It seems that the other side seems to think that as long as they get entangled together, they can completely wipe out the enemies on the beach with hand-to-hand combat.

"Retreat! Retreat!" An officer of the 2nd Battalion, who emptied out the bullets in his pistol, waved his hand to signal his troops to retreat, while regretting why he didn't bring his Thomson submachine gun.

Those unlucky bastards of the 2nd Battalion who also left their weapons on board regretted the same thing while retreating.

If they have weapons, even if they only have K3 rifles, they can let the other party know what it means to have strong firepower... But now, they don't even have steel helmets...

Just when the goblins were about to rush into the landing field and approached the collapsed officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, the sounds of nature sounded.

The only Maxim machine gun flanking the landing site began to roar, and the continuous gunfire stunned the densely packed goblin troops.

In just one breath, the goblin hit the side of the army on the beach, and seven or eight people fell down.Before the rest of them figured out where the enemy was, they fell four or five more.

"Thuk chug!" As if not getting tired, the Maxim machine guns fired continuously, and the goblin soldiers, who hadn't figured out the situation at all, fell to the ground one after another.

The goblin soldiers, who finally found their target by the muzzle flash, turned around again and rushed towards the exposed machine gun positions.As a result, they regretted this rush.

The firepower here is more than twice that of the seemingly crowded 2nd Battalion. A Maxim heavy machine gun is constantly firing, and the firepower of the two Thomson submachine guns on the flanks is absolutely terrifying.

Hundreds of goblin soldiers fell on the way to the charge before they got close to the machine gun position, and the rest of the goblin soldiers turned around and ran, desperately burrowing back into the bushes behind them.

On the beach, a small group of soldiers from the 3rd Battalion came to reinforce the 2nd Battalion, all of them were armed.In such an open terrain, facing a group of goblin soldiers who had already shot out the bullets in the barrel of the flintlock, the firepower of the 3rd Battalion instantly crushed the opponent.

"Thuk Thuk!" The machine guns on the flanks were still roaring non-stop, and countless goblin soldiers fell on the beach like this.

The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and at least 200 goblin corpses were spread near the beach, and then they seemed to realize that they could not win at all, and these goblins began to retreat desperately.

The goblins who were too late to retreat raised their hands and knelt down to surrender, and some were knocked down by bullets before they could surrender. The gunfire gradually stopped, and the sea breeze blew away the smell of sulfur on the beach. drift away.

The 2nd Battalion has never figured out how the goblins who overwhelmed them got close, but now they have completely regretted not bringing their weapons ashore.

When the commander of the 1st Battalion rushed over to check the situation, the battle was over, and the 3rd Battalion took over the defense line of the 2nd Battalion, and several soldiers were counting the dead bodies on the ground.

In the battle just now, two soldiers from the 2nd Battalion were killed. One was attacked by a sneak attack while going to the toilet, and the other was hit in the chest by a bullet that was almost impossible to hit with a flintlock due to unlucky luck.

If it was a failure, the price would be too small.But if this is a victory, the commander of the 1st Battalion feels suffocated.

He stepped on the gravel step by step, walked up to the prisoners who were being held in custody, and looked down at these short people who were only about 1 meters tall, feeling terribly irritable.

Although the dwarves are only about 1 meters tall, and most of them are only 5 meters tall, the dwarves are obviously much stronger than the goblins in front of them.

At this time, these goblins with pointed ears, short, thin, green skin, and ugly, seemed to have finally figured out one thing - the enemies who landed did not seem to be Zheng Guo's army...

"How did you find us and deploy here in advance?" The commander of the 1st Battalion frowned and asked a question he was most interested in.

A goblin wearing an officer's uniform stared at the 1st Battalion Commander. Instead of answering the question, he asked, "Who are you and why did you enter our territory?"

"The territory of Mirage? Isn't this Dongwan Island of Zheng State?" The 1st Battalion Commander sneered, and then repeated his question: "How did you find us and deploy here in advance?"
