Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 995 Landing War (3)

Washington's order quickly reached the H-03-5 defense line, which was guarded by a division of the US military.

"The H-03-4 defense line has been destroyed by a huge wave? Are we required to go immediately for reinforcements?" Division Commander Davis looked at the message in his hand, frowned deeply, and looked at the correspondent. "Are you sure this 'big wave' is not a code?"

The correspondent nodded firmly. "I'm 100% sure, Commander. It's indeed not a code, it's a real 'big wave'."

Commander Davis murmured thoughtfully. "Is it caused by the explosion just now?" They also saw the huge water column in the distance. Although they didn't know how the Germans exploded such a terrifying water column, it was obvious that the terrible water column turned into a huge wave. Destroyed the H-03-4 defense line.

In any case, since the order has been issued, it must be implemented. But they only have one division of troops. How many reinforcements should they send?

A group? I'm afraid it's not even enough to squeeze the teeth of the German army. Two groups? enough?

Just when he was extremely confused, he received a message from the Colombian headquarters, saying that a reserve team had been sent to support their defense line. Division Commander Davis gritted his teeth, left one battalion behind, and personally led the rest of the troops to the H-03-4 defense line.

"Division Commander, what should we do if the Germans blow up that huge wave again after we arrive?" the division chief of staff asked with some worry. They are not the navy, not to mention that not everyone in the navy can swim.

Commander Davis said rather helplessly. "But we can't just watch the Germans land calmly. The Germans not only have hovercrafts that can carry tanks, but also the technology to quickly build docks. If they really want to gain a foothold there, I'm afraid their transport ships will not be ready tomorrow morning. They can start unloading. But if they have sent out landing troops, they will not blow up such huge waves, otherwise even their landing troops will be in trouble." This should be the only good news at the moment.

"That's true." The chief of staff nodded slightly and said a little puzzled. "It stands to reason that the area we are guarding is more suitable for landing. Why did the Germans choose the H-03-4 area?" The area they are guarding is wider and flatter than the H-03-4 area. It is said to be the best landing point nearby. , why would the Germans choose the H-03-4 lot with worse conditions? Didn't you look at the map when you went out?

Commander Davis glared at him and said angrily. "If the Germans really choose the area we guard, I'm afraid you and I would have become underwater ghosts long ago."

"..." After hearing the division commander's words, the chief of staff couldn't help but feel a little scared. According to previous drills, they would all hide in underground air defense fortifications after receiving the air raid warning. If the Germans really choose to land in the area they are guarding, they will probably explode like that huge wave first, and they can only drown alive in the air defense fortifications. At this time, the defenders of the H-03-4 defense line will come to reinforce them. .

The support army had not traveled fifty kilometers, and along with a dull roar, countless dense black spots appeared in the distant sky.

"Shet!! It's a German plane!" Division Commander Davis' face suddenly turned extremely ugly. They had no place to hide in this inaccessible place.

"Prepare for air defense operations!" They did not have many anti-aircraft weapons in their hands, only ten quadruple 7mm M51 anti-aircraft machine gun trucks.

This quadruple-height aircraft is equipped with a variety of gun carriages. The most commonly used one is a four-wheel trailer, towed by a truck or jeep. During combat, the pillars can be lowered at the four corners to maintain stable shooting. The gun carriage is equipped with multiple batteries and charging devices, because the high-speed aircraft is electrically driven for combat and is used to change the range and angle of fire. The gunner's position is in the middle of the quadruple helicopter. The electric motor can change the shooting angle from 0 to 60 degrees in 1 second, and the speed of changing the shooting range is equally fast. In order to keep the two sets of main batteries in optimal condition at all times, they are always charged.

The firepower of the four heavy machine guns is enough to shoot down any low-altitude target that falls into its fire net, but the bullets it fires do not actually have high-explosive charges. It was equipped with a naval reflex sight, but the gunners preferred to use tracer tracking for aiming and ballistic correction.

Although this is a very excellent anti-aircraft machine gun (it continues to serve in the armies of many countries after 1945, and is still used by some countries in later generations), a machine gun is still a machine gun. The 7mm caliber has a limited range and is difficult to deal with targets above 2,500 meters. High enemy aircraft.

As for the larger-caliber anti-aircraft guns, not to mention that most of the anti-aircraft guns have been transformed into self-propelled artillery. Even if there are only a few left, in order to ensure the speed of travel, Division Commander Davis ordered them to stay on the defensive line; but they were so unlucky. , encountered a group of German aircraft.

Division Commander Davis did not care whether this was a chance encounter or a leak of information. He ordered the preparations for air combat and gave instructions to the correspondent. "Request air support from headquarters quickly!!"

At this time, the planes had flown 1,000 meters away and were divided into several groups and dispersed.

"Fire!" As the firing order was given, the ten M51 anti-aircraft machine gun carriages on the ground roared, and tracer bullets of various colors struck those aircraft.

Unfortunately, those planes flew at an altitude of about 3,500 meters and were not afraid of ground firepower. They flew leisurely above their heads and dropped cluster bombs all over the sky.

In the Columbia headquarters, which received the request for air support, Commander Williams sighed with a sad look on his face. Not long ago, the German fleet visited military airports in South Carolina and several nearby states. They bombed almost all the airports into ruins; how could there be air support?

"Reply to Division Commander Davis that no air support can be sent to him; tell him that he can retreat as appropriate. Then send a telegram to Washington to inform them of the situation." However, he did not think that Washington could have any magic tricks.

"Damn it!!" Division Commander Davis almost jumped up after receiving the reply from Columbia Command. He really wants to retreat, but not to mention two legs, even four wheels can't outrun the plane in the sky. Where to retreat? ! How to withdraw? !

The embarrassed chief of staff suggested. "Division Commander, let the soldiers escape for their own lives, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated soon!" A bomb just landed not far from them, leaving them disgraced.

In desperation, Division Commander Davis could only agree to the chief of staff's proposal. "Give the order and run for your lives as a squad. After the bombing, continue to the H-03-4 defense line to assemble."

Seeing the US troops on the ground disperse and flee, the A-1 attack aircraft pilots in the sky couldn't help but curl their lips. "These cowards." But it was impossible for them to chase a few people, destroy the remaining vehicles and then move on.
