Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 1381 Front Beach Blockade

The landing craft at the front suddenly exploded.

There are many explosion points, and they are densely packed, almost one after another.

Various screams came from the communication channel.

"It's a drone!"

"Watch out for drones!"

The Burke-class destroyer responsible for covering the landing operations nearby immediately turned on the close defense system. The red side's drone technology is well known.

As can be seen from the previous "Stray" unmanned underwater vehicle, the Red Army has conducted very in-depth research on the battlefield application of unmanned equipment, and has installed and deployed it in various front-line troops.

During the Red Army's attack on the Green Zone and the capture of the Green Island, a large number of drones were also used to conduct intensive attacks on the Green Army's infantry deployed near the landing site, and drones were also used to launch mobile missiles on the Green Island. Vehicles and radar vehicles conduct tracking strikes.

Therefore, before taking action to seize the island, the blue team was not unprepared.

All landing craft have been equipped with close-in defense systems, and the Burke-class destroyers are also close to coastal waters. The order they received is to provide an effective blocking fire network for the landing craft at all costs to prevent the red team's drones from attacking the landing. The troops dealt too big a blow.

In addition, electronic reconnaissance ships are deployed just behind these destroyers. Such ships have electronic warfare capabilities and can affect the missile shooting accuracy of drones through interference, affecting the quality of the link between the drone and the operator. It can even cause blockage, causing the drone and operator to lose contact and become unable to attack.

With the continuous sound of explosions, looking from the deck of the Burke-class destroyer to the coast of Green Island, we saw clusters of sparks exploding over the landing craft near the shore.

Obviously, it was the close defense system on the landing craft that was desperately trying to intercept and shoot down the red drones.

What is surprising is that according to the radar system scan, no drone group can be seen approaching the shore at all.

This means that instead of large drones integrating high-altitude surveillance and attack, the red team must use small attack drones.

Against small attack drones, missiles and the like are useless. It's just a cannon to fight mosquitoes.

It is best to use traditional machine guns and machine guns to intercept with high-density shooting barrages.

Ordinarily, all landing craft are equipped with close-in defense systems, so they should have no problem dealing with drones.

But now the blue team's landing craft is like a person wearing a leaky protective suit to provoke a large hornet's nest, unable to stop it at all!

Explosions exploded on the deck and hull of the landing craft, and many of them flew directly to the close-in defense system, directly destroying the close-in defense system.

Some armored vehicles and Marines who had just come out of the landing craft suffered even more disasters. The armored vehicles and tanks were hit as soon as they entered the water, igniting raging fires directly on the sea, and soon sank into the water.

Finally, the blue team's landing force discovered the problem.

These drones did not fly out from the Red Square position near the coast at all. They had been waiting in the water for a long time.

"It's the ray again!"

The Marine Corps commander in charge of frontline landing operations immediately reported the news to the Combined Fleet Command Room.

The people in the command room were also very confused after hearing this.

Skate?

Wasn't this thing cleared long ago?

What's more, the ray launches a torpedo, not a drone at all.

The Marine commander here explained the situation in detail again, and only then did the Combined Fleet command room understand.

It turns out that these drones that attack landing troops are indeed very similar in principle to "Stata".

They are all hiding in the water, waiting for opportunities to move.

The Marine Corps commander saw with his own eyes several small drones emerge directly from the water, then took off to a height of about seven or eight meters, and then plunged towards the deck and bridge of the landing craft.

This small drone is estimated to only be equipped with a high-explosive bomb, which only weighs a few kilograms. It is not as powerful as the missiles launched by large drones.

But even a few kilograms of high-explosive bombs can easily blow up a combat tank or armored vehicle, not to mention the bridge and equipment on the deck of a landing craft.

Generally speaking, after a landing craft is bombed more than ten or twenty times, a fire will definitely ignite. The fire will force the landing troops hiding in the cabin to open the hatch and dive into the water, otherwise they will be burned to death. But as soon as he got out, he had to face the attack of drones emerging from the water.

And what about the red side?

Almost no people were seen, and no firepower point could be seen.

It is estimated that they are all hiding in a fortification somewhere and directly using drones to attack the landing troops.

This makes it impossible for the armed helicopters taking off from the amphibious assault ship to find the target.

It now seems that all the blue landing troops are facing a landing site that is as quiet as a cemetery. There are many blocking devices on the landing site, such as dragon tooth piles, anti-tank horse-rejecting horses, anti-tank trenches, barbed wire and the like. Many of them had been blown up by previous air strikes by the Blue Army.

But even so, the blue soldiers couldn't even get to the shore. They were all severely punished as soon as they got off the landing craft in the sea.

"Charge! Charge up! Charge up and occupy the beach!"

The Marine commander took the radio and started barking.

He was in the command room of the Burke-class destroyer at the front.

Looking at all this, he understood that this was not the time to be afraid of death.

There are underwater drones arranged by the red team in the water.

This little thing seems to use the same principle as a landmine.

Buried in the water near the shore, once an enemy appears, it will be activated intelligently, or it will be activated by an operator at a nearby observation point, and the group will launch an attack through networking.

He guessed that these small drones were automatically searching for enemies. They must have this function, otherwise they would not have been overwhelming and one after another, making the landing troops feel like they had rushed into a hornet's nest, being bitten by countless hornets crazily and unable to do anything.

If you can run to the shore and grab the beach, then the drone in the water will not be triggered. At least it will be safe to go ashore, not unsafe in the water.

After all, the Marine Corps of the Blue Army is an elite unit. Although the sea water near the entire beach was red at this time, under the command of grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers, there was no chaos in the end, and some soldiers who were not afraid of death really rushed forward. Once ashore, some armored vehicles and tanks began to wait for the shore.

Seeing this, the Marine Corps commander was overjoyed.

"Don't be afraid of death, just rush for me! Release the hovercraft immediately and rush directly to the beach as fast as possible! Immediately parachute the brigade behind their defense line and cooperate with the landing troops to attack from the front and back. It must be done within half a day Penetrate their defenses!"

This tactic is correct.

After all, the helicopters on so many amphibious assault ships and amphibious landing ships are not vegetarian, nor are they used for chopping.

Seeing that a teammate successfully landed, the Marines behind were greatly encouraged.

The amphibious dock landing ship opened its hatch and began to release a large number of LCAC air-cushion landing craft.

The Blue Army's LCAC air-cushion landing craft is developed from the JEFF prototype craft. It has improvements in the hull structure, control system, propeller erosion and apron anti-splash (such as equipped with a splash suppressor), so it has an ideal rapid speed It has good passability and unique amphibious properties, and is not restricted by tides, water depths, minefields, anti-landing obstacles and nearshore seabed slopes.

In particular, this kind of boat can carry out landing operations on more than 70% of the world's coastlines, which will force the enemy to fortify most of the coasts and disperse the enemy's forces; at the same time, the landing troops will have more opportunities to choose landing areas, which is convenient for Implement landings in enemy areas where conventional landing craft are difficult to land. During landing operations, when an amphibious ship carrying an air-cushion landing craft is 20-30 nautical miles away from the shore, the air-cushion landing craft can rely on its own power to deliver personnel and equipment to the enemy beach, thereby ensuring its own safety.

Soon, several LCAC air-cushion landing craft rushed onto the beach under high-speed impact, and the Marine Corps' airborne detachment, escorted by armed helicopters, began to deliver towards the rear of the Red Square's beachhead defense line.

It seemed that the landing site was quickly established. Although a certain price was paid at the beginning, the beachhead was finally captured.

On the Burke-class destroyer, the Marine Corps commander held up the telescope in his hand and looked at the smoky beach in the distance, with a smug sneer on his lips.

"After all, we are still better..."

he thought.

However, the smile quickly froze on his face again.
