Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 449 Chapter 449 Everything Goes Well

"Anchor!" The huge iron chain slid down into the sea following the command, and on the rippling sea, small boats had been pushed out of the free wheel's side by the crane.

The modified side rope ladder was fixed by the sailors, and the temporarily installed iron stairs on the ship's side were crowded with soldiers carrying various equipment.

"There is no resistance!" Putting down the binoculars, the captain of the navy said regretfully to his adjutant on the bridge of the Bunas ironclad ship on both sides of the fleet.

All the angled artillery on the battleship have been pointed at the coast, and the gun barrels of various thicknesses are silently waiting for their roaring moment.

"Board the ship! Board the ship!" The officer with the life buoy around his neck waved his arms and shouted loudly as he leaned against the ship's railing.

The soldiers who had climbed to the end of the rope ladder with their weapons on their backs jumped onto the rickety boat with the help of the sailors.

"Pay attention to safety! Pay attention to safety!" Every soldier is reminding his companions to each other.They are in very good shape now as they have only been sailing for a few hours.

There is no fatigue from long-distance travel, and no dizziness from long-term bumps on the sea.Now they are the soldiers of the Datang Group who are alive and well, and they are the marines who can get special allowances every month!

"He's in place! You can cut the safety rope!" After arranging the soldiers to the seats on the boat, the sailor took a sharp dagger and cut the rope tied behind the soldier.

After learning the lessons of the last landing, all soldiers were equipped with orange life-saving equipment, and all soldiers were fixed with a safety rope behind them before boarding the ship.

This rope will ensure that after they fall into the sea, someone can still help them return to the sea. Although it is complicated and clumsy, it can indeed improve the survival rate of soldiers falling into the water.

Amidst the noise, heavily armed marines began to rush to the coast. On the small boats were helmets shaking with the waves.

In the sea water that was deep enough to reach their waists, these soldiers jumped out of the small boat, raised their weapons high, and trudged through the shallow water with difficulty.

"Quick! Act fast!" This was an actual combat exercise, and the officers shouted one after another.No one knows whether the enemy will really come, so everyone is in high spirits.

After all, last time when they landed, they encountered a sudden counterattack from mirage troops, so this time, no one dared to take it lightly.

"Screw your legs! Take a big step forward! Watch your feet!" A platoon leader waved his arms as he walked forward with difficulty, telling his soldiers to follow up as soon as possible.

Also learning the lessons of the last landing, the landing troops landed as far as possible while keeping the integrity of the system.The troops of a company will gather together as much as possible and land at the same time as possible.

This avoids the chaotic situation of the previous landing battle: no company has a complete organizational system, and there is chaos everywhere. Only by relying entirely on the deployment of frontline commanders can we barely fight.

In short, experience is something that needs to be accumulated.And those equipment that meet the experience need time to produce.

Compared with the previous landings, this time the Datang Group is obviously going to be a step ahead in terms of weapons and equipment.

Because of the weight reduction, the machine gun can accompany the troops to land at the same time, which is definitely a big improvement for the attacking troops.

At the same time, Datang Group's landing boats have also received some minor improvements: some boats have been equipped with gasoline engines and propellers!

This is also a huge improvement: because the addition of engines and propeller propellers can reduce the number of sailors paddling, which allows more marines to be carried on a small boat.

Moreover, such small boats are also faster, and can make more round trips per unit time, and can transport more soldiers.

It is not too afraid of the impact of high tide or low tide on speed, which is many times more advanced than paddling boats.

With such small boats, the first batch of troops of the Datang troops to go ashore was faster and more numerous.

The soldiers who landed also quickly established defensive positions around the landing site based on their experience.

The reconnaissance troops who went out also took action, helping the commander who went ashore first to obtain the surrounding terrain information, and at the same time further confirmed that there were no enemy defense troops nearby.

It is also the experience summed up in the last landing operation. The wireless telegraph communication equipment also went ashore as soon as possible and established contact with the fleet.

In this way, artillery support can be called, and at the same time, the progress of one's own side can be reported to the senior commander in the rear, making command and dispatch faster and more targeted.

Then, in the midst of the noise, the 1st Marine Regiment landed smoothly, and then the artillery and cars that were strengthened for them also came ashore one after another.

The 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, with strong soldiers and horses, quickly assembled its troops and began to rush towards their previous intended target under the guidance of local guides.According to the mission plan, their main attack direction is the only town on this island.

The 2nd Battalion was not to be outdone, and began to attack the hinterland an hour later.Their goal is the bandit camp entrenched on the island. The 3rd Battalion stayed to protect the landing site and help unload subsequent large weapons and equipment.

"The landing process is much smoother than last time." Putting down the telescope in his hand, Bernard was very satisfied with the scene in front of him.

As naval commander, the newly formed Marine Corps was under his command the elite.Seeing that the troops newly assigned to him performed well, Bernard naturally couldn't hide a smile on his face.

He knew that his marines would definitely lead the attack on the Zheng Kingdom, and the possible follow-up attack on the Mirage Kingdom, so he was full of expectations for the future.

"That's right! In terms of time, at this time last time, the 1st Battalion was still gathering troops on the beach." The adjutant also said with a smile.

The previous landing battle on Dongwan Island was indeed too chaotic.Although many plans were drawn up before, when it came time to implement, all kinds of troubles occurred.

The horses landed, the scout cavalry was still floating in the sea, the shells landed, and the cannons hadn't started loading the landing boats yet.

What is even more depressing is that the cumbersome Maxim heavy machine gun could not go ashore at the same time as the landing troops, which caused only one machine gun to participate in the battle when the enemy counterattacked.

Well now, the new MG42 machine gun is obviously lighter than the Maxim heavy machine gun, and can directly accompany the troops to attack, so there is no need to worry about not being able to keep up with the troops' attack rhythm.

Because the order of landing was rearranged, the entire landing force appeared to be in order, and by the way, a lot of time was saved.

"We can't relax yet, there are still many details that need to be recorded, perfected, and improved!" Bernard concluded earnestly: "Every detail that is perfected can save one soldier from being lost in the real landing operations in the future! This point one It must always be remembered!"

"Yes! General! I understand!" The adjutant replied solemnly: "I will keep an eye on this matter."

"Let every soldier write down their feelings afterwards! Every non-commissioned officer, squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, and battalion commander must write a summary report!" Bernard took the trouble to remind: "As long as the uncomfortable Every place needs to be rectified!"

"If the equipment is not good, change the equipment! If the tactics are wrong, change the tactics!" Before the adjutant could speak, he continued to add: "The two of us should think about it carefully, and what aspects need to be further improved!"

"Yes! General!" The adjutant stood at attention and saluted.

"Report! The 1st Regiment Headquarters of the Ashore Marine Corps called. Except for a soldier who sprained his foot while wading, no one was injured! The follow-up equipment is landing, and everything is going well." An orderly stood behind Bernard and stood at attention to salute and report road.

"Call back to the head of the 1st Regiment to celebrate the successful completion of the actual combat exercise of the 1st Regiment! I hope you will also go well in the subsequent battle." After Bernard finished speaking, he returned a military salute.Then he took the pen from the other party and signed his name on the shorthand telegram.

On the island, the locals who had already discovered the landing troops didn't seem to be afraid. They watched these Datang Group soldiers dressed like aliens passing by their village in numbness.

After hearing what the guide said, these people were even overjoyed, and expressed their willingness to lead the way to find those bandits and bandits who did all kinds of evil.

They had nothing to eat to greet Master Wang, but they still supported their weak bodies, stood by the roadside, and waved desperately at the troops of the Datang Group.

And the soldiers of the security forces of the Datang Group who passed by them also carried forward their traditions, throwing the food they carried to these hungry civilians who lined the road to welcome them.

Soon, some civilians picked up the food and devoured it, and some people waved their arms to express their gratitude while eating.

These skinny people expressed their joy to the security forces of Datang Group as much as possible with their body movements.

"Next time...this kind...should we bring more food?" Seeing that his troops threw away the raincoats and food they were carrying, the battalion commander of the 2nd Marine Corps Battalion looked at Asked his adjutant, dumbfounded.

This is an old tradition of his army, throwing things away wherever they go, whether they are given to the locals, or left behind on the landing field... This...fuck is the tradition of the 2nd Battalion.

"Indeed...you should bring more food that is softer, easier to eat, and slightly better in taste...this will make it easier to donate..." the adjutant wrote in his notebook solemnly: "In addition, we must tell the soldiers , don’t waste pure water, and you shouldn’t accept the drinking water provided by the locals...it’s easy to be infected with parasites, and it’s easy to have diarrhea.”

"I'm X! Fine, I didn't even think about the water source." The 2nd Battalion Commander looked at his adjutant and praised: "You continue to write, I'll go ahead and have a look."

After finishing speaking, the 2nd Battalion Commander patted his adjutant on the shoulder, took out two chocolate candies from his pocket, and walked towards a dirty child by the side of the road.

Tomorrow will continue to make up during the day.
