Sixty-Four Kilometers Landing Site
Chapter 322:Sixty-Four Kilometers Landing Site
Saipan checked the bar No landing area of the sea, on the battleship of the starboard BB-2, the main turret of the front turret slowly rotated.
One of the cannons raised thirty degrees high, and with a startling roar, a huge cannonball flew over the landing area.
This huge shell, the speed of the flute is very slow, after leaving the turret for a second, the shell of the shell exploded, a parachute hanging a circular illumination, appeared over the landing area, the dazzling white light lit up, illuminating the entire coastal line, the Japanese defense line and the eyes of the people to take care of.
Subsequently, the fire on the destroyers broke out, and a new round of shelling was launched against the Japanese defense line near the landing area.
The intensive artillery fire seemed to kill all the citrus, and innumerable shells were blown up in the same area, with a staggering density.
At the same time, a landing ship with open the door, the air cushion landing craft took the lead in launching a landing attack, the water surface speed reached more than 55 knots of the air cushion landing craft, fast galloping on the water surface, the landing distance of kilometer, as if it was just an easy step through the distance.
Rushing to the beach head of the starting-up landing craft, quickly released the gas in the airbag, the hull quickly fell, the thick front door opened, the inside has been waiting impatient rhino main battle tank, quickly from the landing craft.
When the Japanese army did not respond on the island, twelve rhino main battle tanks had already landed on the battlefield.
The hovercraft quickly withdrew, while on the surface of the sea, an amphibious tank and amphibious armored vehicle had left the dock landing ship and approached the beach.
The successful landing of the main battle tank, under the pressure of the fleet's intensive artillery fire, was only sporadically attacked, directly allowing the tank to rush to the beach on the ground, the tank's engine roared, and quickly rushed to the defensive positions of the Japanese coastal line.
Expanding the landing site and landing as many troops as possible is not a landing battle that can be completed in a day, and in three hours, even the efficiency of the Red Guard Marine Corps, it is difficult to send a complete Marine Division to the beach.
The huge landing site needs to be quickly occupied and stabilized, reaching at least kilometer deep, and the width of the landing site reaches 64 kilometers.
A large number of amphibious combat vehicles and tanks, the number of thousands of the size, coupled with the continuous delivery of the main battle tanks, when the Japanese reaction, the first landing forces have successfully landed.
At the same time, when a large number of warships continued to shell, more than 100 carrier-based aircraft took off from the amphibious assault ship and also suppressed the Japanese firepower.
Even the Gate guns on the amphibious air cushion landing craft are also exerting waste heat, and during the landing process, the fire points appeared on the rapid Japanese position.
The amphibious tank rushed to the front, and also covered the left and right sides of the amphibious landing tank, clearing the obstacles to landing and covering the landing of the amphibious combat vehicles.
The Japanese army, which gradually reacted, also broke out of fierce fire on the long landing field.
Dense machine-gun bullets, non-stop strafed on landing vehicles and tanks, and a large number of mortars and cartridges, all of which did not cost money to counterattack the landing troops.
If you are not caught off guard in time, more comprehensive defense facilities will be built on the island, the coastal lines will be covered with mines, and the beach will be blocked by roadblocks.
The fleet could not fully cover the landing site 64 kilometers long, and in order to ensure that the complete line of defense of the landing site was connected, it could only land on the whole line, and it also gave many Japanese counterattack opportunities.
Intensive artillery fire and bullets, attacking amphibious tanks and main battle tanks, sent out dense sparks, but such an attack is difficult to pose a threat to the tank.
Until there was an eighty-eight mm anti-tank gun from Germany that destroyed an amphibious tank that landed on shore, it was also a Japanese defense that opened the situation.
Thirty-seven mm gunfire on many Japanese lines, as well as various infantry and mountain guns, also opened fire.
Although the Japanese had only more than two hundred guns on Saipan, these guns were heavy guns for tactical support, and many small guns, which were the weapons that really caused trouble on the landing site.
In the previous fire preparation, although it had destroyed a considerable number of Japanese defenses and defensive firepower, it was difficult to completely destroy, and many fire points survived.
However, these exposed fire, although it seemed fierce and caused enough trouble for the landing troops, did not help the overall situation.
Within 20 minutes of the start of the landing, thousands of combat vehicles and amphibious tanks had landed on the beach, and the number of troops ashore had reached 10,000.
But if these people are distributed in the landing area of 64 kilometers, it is not too much.
It appears sporadically distributed and in small quantities.
At this moment, on the landing site, there are a large number of landing vehicles that are trudging ashore.
The Japanese firepower was completely drawn to the frontal battlefield.
At this time, on the amphibious assault ship and the amphibious dock landing ship, many heavily armed soldiers, all gathered on the helicopter platform.
The rotors of a nighthawk helicopter were spinning rapidly, heavily armed with soldiers, one by one, boarded the helicopter.
As the takeoff signal lights were on, a transport helicopter took off from the amphibious ship and the rear deck of the landing ship and flew directly to Saipan.
The Japanese never imagined that the enemy would use vertical landings, and when a helicopter quickly reached the hill two kilometers behind the Japanese line of defense, the Japanese front line was all stunned.
Staring at the dense fire, a helicopter with five soldiers on each side, a young soldier, armed with a huge sniper rifle, was constantly grumbling:
"Communist, you are really a good deal, as a model of the whole army, should not be the first of our class to board Saipan Island, to stab the chrysanthemums of the little Japanese, the result is not the first, even vertical landing is the second wave, as a member of the class, I quite despise you."
The head of the team on the side suddenly jumped on the door of the brain and shouted: "You talk nonsense, shut up the old man..."
Huang Wenkang did not shut up the consciousness, still feel good to himself said: "class leader, I know you have been jealous of my world-shaking spirit, especially jealous of my birth to the strong temperament, coupled with my shocked the world's genius sniper level, can be in your hands, that is the squad leader your ancestral tomb smoke, the Ten world cultivation of the great blessing..."
In the helicopter, all eight other comrades looked at the non-stop fellow and patiently waited.
