Chapter 313: Landing Operations

"Come this way! There's a devil's fortification over there. However, there is a water tower from the back, which allows you to look down on the surroundings from a high vantage point. There is a window in the wall at the back of there that gives direct access to the water tower. Zhu Tingwen said while leading the way for Li Hanwen and them.

When he saw the banner of the vanguard, he immediately ran out of the place where he was hiding and offered to lead the way. He was a little reckless, and the army was very strict with those who led the way. It's not just a random pop-up that just thinks that he has won the hearts of the people. If you are careful, you may be taken into the ditch by others.

There are many people in this world, and it is not that he is from Huaxia, but he must serve Huaxia.

Fortunately, an intelligence officer who was listening to the information in the vicinity recognized him and knew that he was not an active defector. Only then did two teams follow Zhu Tingwen to act together.

As they walked, they summoned the paratroopers scattered next to them to join their ranks, and soon there were more than fifty people.

Li Hanwen made a few gestures, and the five vanguard paratroopers rushed over quickly. A machine gun crew of 3 people, a sniper crew of 2 people. Having occupied the high ground, they can snipe from a high position.

"The storm drain in that place can go directly to the edge of the bunker over there, you can get close to a vent not far from the grenade attack, after removing the bunker, there is the office building behind it, you can enter it through the back door, I will take you through the underground waterway first, there is no water there, it is a little narrower, you need to climb a long way." Zhu Tingwen said that he was about to lean down to move the rain cover.

"No!" Li Hanwen stopped him, and a soldier behind him ran up briskly carrying an Iron Fist 30 anti-tank rocket launcher, which was a small 30 iron fist of 4.2 kilograms, which could penetrate 140 mm of armor. Although he is not as good as the 30 mm armor-piercing ability of the 200 iron fist of the big one, he is a kilogram lighter, and it is enough for the general bunker to deal with the devil.

It's less than 50 meters from here to the devil's bunker, which is enough for a short-legged iron fist with a maximum range of 100 meters. The place where Zhu Tingwen led them over was a dead end for the devil's bunker, as long as they didn't enter within forty meters, they could be blocked by the buildings next to them. Because this is already on the edge of the grenade's throwing range, the devil doesn't pay much attention to it. The vanguard soldier adjusted the recommended ruler of Iron Fist to around 40 meters and easily aimed it at the pillbox.

"Boom!" Zhu Tingwen, who covered his ears and shook for a while in the explosion, looked at the ruins of that place a little blankly, and was a little distracted for a while: "Such an iron cylinder has such great power?" ”

He didn't know that this was only the least powerful iron fist, and this time the paratroopers lacked artillery support, and the mortars were somewhat powerless when encountering tanks, etc. So Meng Xiang threw in an anti-tank bazooka. Only Tekken Small 30 and Tekken 60 entered service in this operation. The 30 is small because of his lightness, and the 6.8 kg Iron Fist 60 is due to his armor-piercing 200 mm power.

Not only Zhu Tingwen and them, after quickly finding the airdropped weapons and equipment box, each team had at least three iron fists. Although Tekken 1 is a surname, it does not occupy the establishment, it is light and practical, and it is powerful. When encountering a fortification, it can directly attack the devil's bunkers and fortifications.

The sound of the MG-42 machine gun tearing cloth also began to sound all around.

More than a dozen Huaxia railway workers at the station also joined the ranks of the guidance team under Zhu Tingwen's greeting, speeding up the process of the vanguard army's attack on the devils.

The Devil's squadron and a half were cleaned up little by little under the sudden attack of nearly 300 people from the two vanguard paratrooper brigades and the strong attack from behind.

At noon, Meng Xiang received the news that Shanhaiguan had started.

"Immediately build a defensive position. It was said that reinforcements from a wing of the Kwantung Army were about to arrive. There is also the location of Qinhuangdao, where a whole brigade of Yue troops is stationed. Attacked on both sides, they must hold on. Meng Xiang instructed.

"Why haven't you heard from the Marines yet?" He couldn't help but look at the large military map.

Yesterday, the Vanguard Army's Nagato-class battleship, named Zhenyuan, appeared in the northerly part of the Miaodao Islands.

Escorted by the three destroyers of the Vanguard Army aircraft and the Ashigara, the Zhenyuan took a stroll, and after pulling up his own heart, he went back slowly.

In this era, battleships were deterrent weapons. Regarding the visit of the Zhenyuan, he said that he did not dare to take it lightly, so that the attention of the Fushun devil navy was focused on the Zhenyuan. It wasn't until they watched them go away that they realized that another fleet of the vanguard army had reached the entrance of the Luan River.

At the mouth of the Luan River, the vegetation on both sides of the river has not been completely destroyed at this time, and although the downstream river channel is soothing, it can still drive slightly larger boats.

"Quick, quick, quick!" Zhao Junmai came to the scene in person and shouted loudly, making it difficult to think of the gentleman-like Director Zhao.

Not far behind them, three huge LST landing ships and four cargo ships, under the distant escort of the aircraft carrier Canglong and two Scott destroyers, approached the river beach, lowered the landing ladder, and the soldiers, trucks, and tanks of the brigade rushed directly to the shore.

There was not a single person on this beach with good landing conditions, and the soldiers of the Marine Brigade made a successful landing with ease, as if it were an exercise. He said that he had never imagined that the vanguard army would make such a move, and the vanguard army set another precedent by landing on the beach on a large scale.

Although there are fewer dangerous and bloody landing scenes, Zhao Junmai still uses higher speed to demand his soldiers. The transport formation, which had been departing from Longkou Port since the night before yesterday, was advancing at sea at a speed of 8 knots. Since the attention of the devils was mostly diverted, the little gunboats they encountered were also killed by planes and destroyers. So the devils were not alarmed along the way.

But on the way, they encountered a slightly larger wind and waves, and the three large LST landing ships were not much of a problem with a full load displacement of 4,080 tons, but those crocodile-class boats encountered a crisis and capsized four in a row.

Although there were not many people on the boat, and the soldiers of the Marine Brigade could swim, in the icy water, by the time they were rescued, eight soldiers died.

The Crocodile-class landing craft, which originated from the LCVP vehicle personnel landing craft, was originally only a short-distance transportation, and at this time, it followed the large ships with a long-distance attack at a distance of 110 nautical miles, which was somewhat inappropriate, but it still needed its ability to land on the beach and continue to travel inside, so it dragged it together.

At this time, in the Luanhe River, more than 20 crocodile-class ships carrying heavily armed soldiers had already rushed upstream. The two small gunboats encountered in the river were sunk by the two S-38 torpedo boats that followed them directly with 20mm cannons. Together, they marched in the direction of Luan County.

And the soldiers who landed also rushed in trucks with twenty BT-7 tanks towards the nearest Leting County.

Le Ting, who only had a small team of devils, was attacked. None of the planes on the Canglong had a chance to attack.

"It's too unchallenged." Zhao Junmai, who was sitting in the jeep, couldn't help but sigh. He said that he was not prepared at all. According to the puppet army in Leting County, some of this squad is still preparing to set off to support Tianjin. The rescue personnel from Tangshan and Qinhuangdao set off this morning.

"With the assistance of the Canglong, why don't you directly attack Qinhuangdao or Tangshan?" Zhao Junmai has always had a question in his heart, although the strength of the devils there may be stronger, but the sudden surname of the beach grabbing can reduce their vigilance to the greatest extent, and the casualties may be larger, but the effect of the surprise attack is also better.

I didn't know that he had such a question, and Fan Chong had also raised a question at that time.

"In this way, the landing can be successful with minimal casualties, after all, the landing of the Marine Corps still has many deficiencies, and it needs to be constantly run in and improved. Moreover, after landing, it directly occupied Luanxian, cut off the railway from Beiping and Tianjin to the northeast, and used the Jingfeng railway to attack on both sides, all the way to Qinhuangdao and all the way to Tangshan. ”

The place where Tangshan landed was close to the port of Tianjin, and the Qinhuangdao was far away, so it might be better to attack by rail and sea. In this way, it can be said that it is reasonable. But finally lost the sudden surname of the attack.

But since Meng Xiang is resolute, his mind has been decided. In addition, the Marine Corps is indeed a team with an experimental surname, and it has not yet been used in this actual battle, so Fan Chong will not say anything anymore.

Whether it was Fan or Zhao Junmai, they didn't know that there was a cargo ship called the Roma among the accompanying ships.

In Meng Xiang's memory, Luan County is rich in coal resources. The first-level base is only 10 kilometers away, and if there is no energy support around, the upgrade will be very slow and troublesome.

Long-distance attack, relying only on most of the Marine Brigade and a paratrooper battalion, in the face of the counterattack of the North China and Kwantung Army, if the logistics support is not timely, it will be a disaster. Even if Tangshan and Qinhuangdao are occupied, there is no ammunition to replenish, and they can only rely on the mobilized people to fill it with human lives, and that price is unacceptable to Meng Xiang.

In this regard, Fan Chong is also a little worried, and when the devil reacts, air and sea transportation will be contained and affected, and logistical troubles are inevitable. But Meng Xiang's confident smile finally made him choose to listen to Meng Xiang's opinion.

And the only thing Meng Xiang uses is the base.

Even if there is no siege, as long as the base is established and established, everything around it will come under Meng Xiang's control.

"Brigade Commander Zhao, now we can leave, we must rush to Qinhuangdao as soon as possible, cooperate with the ground forces to attack the Yue army in Qinhuangdao, and support the Reading Force Regiment fighting in Shanhaiguan!" Long Liu, who was next to him, came over and reminded. He is now the deputy commander of the Marine Brigade, and the paratroopers have not yet been made public and are always referred to as the 54th Army's Reading Force. According to the original plan, after the Marine Brigade once again dropped some of its men, some of them would go to Qinhuangdao.

"Good! Please! Zhao Junmai is still very satisfied with his assistant, there is no factional dispute, he is a pure soldier, which also allows him to show his skills in the Marine Corps, and there is a lot less containment. For this dragon willow's ability, he is still very relieved.

By the time the ships of Zhao Junmai and others were far away, the vanguard of the vanguard army had already attacked Luan County. Under the command of Chief of Staff Chen Jiahui, the soldiers who landed on the Luanhe River and the tank soldiers who rushed over on the land, the troops of a regiment coordinated to attack, and together with the auxiliary attack of the fighters on the Canglong, Luan County, which was defended by only one squadron of devils, completely fell into the hands of the vanguard army in less than an hour.

"The first battalion took a train to Qinhuangdao; The second battalion took the train straight to Tangshan Station, and waited to move, not to do anything, and not to act rashly. The three battalions defended the surrounding county towns and mines, and cleared the remnants of the enemy. "There are large and small coal mines and iron mines near Luan County, and there are many devils in the mine, which need to be cleaned up.

"Call Deputy Brigade Commander Long, he still has a battalion there. If it had his support, Tangshan Railway Station might have been able to fight a fight. For Tangshan, a large industrial city in the north, he tried to quickly capture the railway station with two battalions and block the railway passage for the devil's rescue.

At this time, when he realized that there was no other unusual situation around, Long Liu gave the order to unload. The rest of the back of the Roman merchant ship was opened, and the base car, covered with a huge canvas, floated on the water.

…… In an open land that had been explored and demarcated for a long time, a giant bird that seemed to come from ancient times fell from the sky, and the shadow of its huge wings obscured the entire land in the sky.

"This, this is an airplane?" Zhu Tingwen led more than 100 railway workers to help the vanguard army carry supplies, and the selected place where the plane landed was relatively close to the railway, and the transportation speed could be accelerated directly through the board cars on the railway. But the ME323D giant glider that fell from the sky stunned them all, and two of the workers even fell to their knees.

"This is our plane! Aircraft of our vanguard army! Li Hanwen said proudly. Having learned to fly in the United States and having had many parachute jumps, he soon became a squadron leader in the paratrooper unit. But as a paratrooper, he only saw the giant bird for the second time.

The dust kicked up by the ME323D giant glider landed and swept into the crowd of onlookers with a gust of wind blowing by six propellers, and the big bird landed in the exclamations of the people. Gliding all the way, the smoke and dust rolled up all the way, like a long yellow tail dragged straight into the distant sky.
