The end of the military era

Chen Yongliang said with a smile: "The Third Fleet of the Wolf Empire Navy must have been terrified. Otherwise, with the arrogance of those orc nations, it is impossible to escape without a fight."

Song Limin raised his lips slightly and said, "The arrogance of the orc countries is based on their absolute strength, but in the future, when those orc countries face our Southwest Coast Defense Fleet, it will be difficult to show their arrogance again!"

Pusha Island is 35 kilometers long from north to south, 5 kilometers to 12 kilometers wide, and covers an area of ​​about 353 square kilometers.

The port of Pusha Island is located in the south. The Silver Wolf Empire built five permanent forts relying on the mountains near the port, and three permanent forts were built on the highest mountain.

The three forts on the mountain are equipped with 24 220mm coastal defense guns with fifty times the caliber, which can cover the entire Pusa Island with firepower.

港口的五座炮台，一共装备了18门45倍口径280毫米岸防炮以及20门45倍口径150毫米岸防炮。

When the battleships and battlecruisers with all main guns of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet used their main guns to bombard the port and the forts on the mountain at a distance of more than [-] meters.

The 18 280mm coastal defense guns on the five forts in the port and the 24 220mm coastal defense guns on the three forts on the mountain immediately counterattacked.

Originally, these coastal defense guns on Pusha Island had a long range, and the fort where they were located was built at a high place, which increased the range of these coastal defense guns by a lot.

After the two sides bombarded each other for about half an hour, although the port of Pusa Island had been bombarded by large-caliber shells, the five forts in the port were not damaged.

These five turrets are all made of reinforced concrete. The thickness of the front and top has reached 15 meters, and the thickness of the turret armor of the 280mm coastal defense gun has reached an astonishing 450mm.

Even the 356mm main guns of the American Nevada-class all-main gun battleships in the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet can hardly deal a fatal blow to the five forts in the port.

The three forts on the mountain peak are similar to the five forts in the port, as if they were added with turtle shells.

Originally, the battleship and the coastal defense guns were at a disadvantage, not to mention the coastal defense guns on Pusha Island were equipped with thick tortoise shells.

As a result, after half an hour of confrontation, two full-armed battleships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet were slightly injured.

Seeing this situation, Song Limin could only helplessly say to Captain Chen Yongliang of the Ruixue: "Order the capital ships of each formation to retreat to a safe distance.

These forts on Pusha Island are built like tortoise shells one by one. If we continue to bombard them like this, we will suffer a lot.

Next, the Zhenwei Army can only choose the second landing site to land on the beach. "

The second landing site chosen by the five infantry divisions of Zhenwei Army is located in the north of Pusha Island.

Chen Yongliang hesitated for a moment and said, "Song Zhi, although we have avoided the five forts at the port when we landed from the north of Pusha Island, the three forts on the mountain can bombard the landing troops."

Song Limin looked at the watch on his wrist, "It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, so the Zhenwei Army can only try to land at night after dark.

Let the second formation, the third formation, and the ninth formation go to the north of Pusha Island, at least to clean up the beach on the north side of Pusha Island. "

On a transport ship with a full load displacement of 6500 tons, Liu Erga lit a cigarette for Xie Dong, and then lit another for himself.

"Traveler, it seems that Pusa Island is not easy to fight. The navy seems to have nothing to do with the coastal defense artillery on Pusa Island."

Xie Dong nodded and said: "If it was easy to fight, we wouldn't have mobilized five infantry divisions from our Zhenwei Army this time.

Just now the division commander has sent a telegram that our 71th Division will land first from the north of Pusa Island tonight, and our [-]st Brigade has been selected as the first batch of landing troops.

Liu Erga frowned and asked, "Brother seat, although we landed from the north of Pusha Island, the coastal defense guns on the highest peak of Pusha Island can still attack the northern beach of Pusha Island and the surrounding waters. Don’t even dare to rely on it!”

Xie Dong took a deep puff of his cigarette, "There is no way, the transport ship can only stop [-] meters away from the beach on the north side of Pusha Island, and the brothers can only paddle for this [-] meters."

The Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet did not have professional landing craft, so the five infantry divisions of the Zhenwei Army carried a large number of wooden rowboats this time and used them as landing craft.

When Liu Erga heard this, his hands trembled, and the cigarette held between his index finger and middle finger almost dropped, "Isn't it? How far is it to row?

By the time they get to the place, the brothers are already tired and exhausted, so how can they fight! "

"The only good news is going downstream. As for the problem of being too far away, the division commander said in a telegram that the difficulties can be overcome by ourselves. Before dawn tomorrow, our 71st Brigade must gain a foothold on the northern beach of Pusa Island!"

In the temporary headquarters of the Third Marine Division of the Silver Wolf Empire not far from a fort on the mountain, division commander Rofer put down his binoculars and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he turned his head and said to the deputy division commander Inar: "Send a report to the Governor's Office. Our Pusha Island defenders damaged many battleships of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empire in the artillery battle. Now the opponent's fleet has taken the initiative to retreat."

Inal immediately said in a deep voice: "Master, the other party saw the five forts that could not destroy the port, so they should choose to forcibly land on the north side of Pusha Island.

Perhaps tonight, the human army will move. "

Rofer said indifferently: "I'm still worried that the human army won't land!

Otherwise, how can I turn Pusha Island into a blood mill for the human army! "

"Master, do you need to strengthen the troops on the northern beach?"

"On the beach to the north, two regiments of the 32nd Marine Brigade have been deployed, and the strength is sufficient, and no amount of fortifications can be put down there.

However, the two infantry battalions of the Coastal Defense Brigade can be transferred to serve as reserves for the two regiments of the 2nd Marine Brigade. "

At this time, there were only two troops of the Silver Wolf Empire left on Pusha Island, one was the Third Marine Division, and the other was the Pusha Island Coastal Defense Brigade.

The Pusha Coastal Defense Brigade has a total of 13 battalions, of which 8 battalions are arranged in eight forts, and the other 5 battalions are infantry battalions.

Chapter 155 Lost

"Booming" dense shells continued to fall on the beach north of Pusha Island.

The second, third, and ninth formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet have all main gun battleships and large armored cruisers, and have bombarded the beach north of Pusha Island for 3 hours.

Since the three forts on the highest peak of Pusha Island are located in the southwest, the range to the sea north of Pusha Island can only reach about 5000 meters, and the effective range may not even be [-] meters.

This allows the large armored cruisers of the three formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet to move closer to the northern beach and bombard the beach with their main guns.

Under the cover of multiple battleships with main guns and large armored cruisers in the three formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet, more than 71 officers and soldiers of the 3st Brigade of the 1th Division of the Zhenwei Army and 9000 infantry regiments and 2 guard battalion rowed on the wooden It took more than [-] hours for the rowboat to finally reach the shore of the north beach of Pusha Island.

However, what the officers and soldiers of the 71st Brigade did not expect was that some wooden rowboats encountered a stormy attack from the Silver Wolf Empire army as soon as they arrived at the shore.

It turns out that on the northern beach of Pusa Island, there are many semi-embedded bunkers, which are equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns and artillery, and even some anti-aircraft machine guns specially used to deal with flying beasts.

These reinforced concrete bunkers, unless they were directly hit by large-caliber shells, would hardly cause damage to the officers and soldiers of the Silver Wolf Empire inside.

Some bunkers are not penetrated even if they are hit by large-caliber shells because the reinforced concrete is thick enough. However, it is difficult for the soldiers of the Silver Wolf Empire inside to survive, and they will basically be shocked to death.

Facing the attack of many firepower points on the beach, the beach and the sea water beside the beach were soon filled with the bodies of officers and soldiers of the Zhenwei Army.

"Regiment, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and we can't charge up!" Wang Siyu, the first battalion commander of the 712 regiment, shouted to the commander Liu Erga.

Liu Erga gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't go up, you have to go up!

Now we're stuck on the beach, and if we don't take down those bunkers in front of us, thousands of us will die here. "

As soon as Liu Erga finished speaking, a second lieutenant officer handed Liu Erga a telegram.

Liu Erga took the telegram and looked at it, his expression changed immediately.

After more than a year of study, Liu Erga can already read newspapers by himself, and is no longer that illiterate leader.
