Because the first naval battle after the end of the world is about to begin, and because there has been no movement on the Jiangqiao side of the island, the attention on Didui Island is now focused on the battleships.
The upcoming large force of the Light Chasing Army was somewhat ignored.
Anyway, in their view, as long as they guard the Jiangqiao, the large forces of the Zhuangguang Army will not be able to land on the island even if they reach the Sanjiang area.
Because once a large-scale landing on the island occurs, a large number of ships must be used, which is not an easy task. No large-scale gathering of ships has been found around this sea area.
Moreover, there is no good landing place on the shore of Didicui Island, which is one of the reasons why they can attack the battleship with confidence.
But they overlooked one thing.
That was the beach of Tang Zheng's villa that had just been bombed by the battleship.
This is a suitable landing site, but it has just been bombed. It is riddled with holes, but it has been ignored by the people on Didui Island.
The Sanjiang area on the other side of the villa area.
This place is separated from Didui Island by the Hao River, a few kilometers away.
Under the cover of darkness, the large forces of the Light Chasing Army crossed the heavily guarded river bridges and arrived here quietly.
Two field regiments of the Light Chasing Army, an armored battalion and an artillery battalion, as well as directly affiliated battalions and part of the Army Aviation Regiment and Engineer Regiment, have already assembled here.
The darkness did not affect anything. Everyone stood on the edge of the mighty river, like an iron army coming from hell.
With so many troops, it took too long to cross the river by boat, and it was difficult to transport the armored troops and vehicles alone.
But they have another way.
A way that no one thought of.
Behind the troops, a large number of vehicles appeared.
This is a heavy-duty truck. The vehicle has a huge roof, which is much larger than the body. From a distance, it looks like a Transformer.
When they reached the edge of the river, the vehicle drove off without hesitation.
As the vehicle enters the water, its huge roof expands, forming a huge platform.
The vehicle entered the water, but was not affected by the current at all. The platform stretched out on the bank of the river and extended more than 20 meters into the river, forming a water platform that penetrated the river.
Immediately afterwards, the second car followed with a rumble, driving forward from the platform, stretching at the same time, and then entering the water.
After entering the water, the two platforms were closely connected, extending the distance into the water by more than twenty meters.
Then the third car entered the water and continued to stretch into the river.
A car followed, and there were hundreds of such vehicles on the shore.
This is the new equipment of the Light Chasing Army, the pontoon bridge vehicle.
This was a strategy that Tang Zheng had already deployed. He occupied the villa on the riverside, which had a beach suitable for landing, in order to allow the pontoon bridge troops to build a pontoon bridge on the river.
Not only were there pontoon troops here, he saw that no one was willing to go over to the villa at the moment, so he simply deployed some pontoons there to allow vehicles to quickly launch into the water, build pontoons, and connect the two sides.
Floating bridges were arranged on both sides at the same time. A pontoon bridge soon appeared on the river and quickly approached each other.
A boat bridge is twenty meters wide, and five boat bridges are extended by a hundred meters.
The naval battle was about to start over there. No one noticed the dark river surface here. Their bridge construction was going very smoothly.
As long as the docking of the pontoon bridge troops on both sides is completed, a pontoon bridge will be completed.
This kind of pontoon bridge can allow main battle tanks to pass through, which will allow the large forces of the Light Chasing Army to quickly complete the feat of crossing the river.
Of course, this requires the cooperation of the Navy.
The reason why the battleship did not leave and allowed the opponent's navy and air force to completely surround them was to cover the pontoon force.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to cross the river when the other party completely blocks the island.
No one in the outside world thought that Tang Zheng had such a move.
This was an exquisite tactical coordination. From the moment the opponent attacked the villa, all developments were within Tang Zheng's plan.
From holding on to the villa to stall for time, to the tactical retreat into the sea, and then the battleships appearing with artillery plowing the ground, to the decisive battle with the opponent's coastal air force dispatched, and then the pontoon troops quietly appearing to build pontoons, everything was within the plan.
The only unplanned variable now is whether the battleship can withstand the encirclement of the opponent's navy and air force.
As long as the battleship resists, the opponent's attention will not be diverted to the beach in the villa area, and the army can complete the landing.
As long as the login is completed, it is up to Tang Zheng to decide how the situation develops.
The coast guard ship of the Rainforest Kingdom was the first to launch an attack on the battleship of the Light Chaser Army.
In fact, there is also a dispute among the multinational forces as to who should charge first. No one wants to be the first to charge.
After all, they were facing a huge battleship, and everyone knew that the first bird would die first.
After Jones' consideration, as the leader in this incident, Rainforest Kingdom could only be the first to charge.
Their coast guard ship is a relatively rare new ship.
This ship was built by the Magnolia Empire and then purchased by the Rainforest Kingdom.
This is a charity from the eldest brother to the younger brother, but it also requires payment.
The biggest difference between the new ship and the old ship is that there is a 76 mm caliber main gun.
Of course, this main gun is like a toy compared to the battleship's main gun, but the battleship itself also has shortcomings, that is, the hull is too large and it is difficult to turn around.
Moreover, the three main guns mounted on three vehicles are all located in the direction of the bow, while the coast guard ship of the Rainforest Empire attacks from behind.
The length of this first ship is 88 meters, which is not too small, but compared with the 270-meter big one, it looks very petite.
The commander of the Rainforest Kingdom, driving a coast guard ship, approached from behind.
He felt a little uneasy. He was worried that the battleship would open fire on him.
However, Jones analyzed that the battleship may only be equipped with the main gun, and the rest of the forts should be basically decorations or fake. If it is true, then the production capacity of the Light Chasing Army is too high.
All coast guard ships dare to approach and attempt to attack.
"I hope what Mr. Jones said is true, otherwise we are going to die."
The coast guard ship was only about one kilometer away from the battleship, but there was still no movement from the battleship. The commander finally gained some confidence.
"Perhaps Mr. Jones is right. How could the Light Chasing Army, an inland army, build such a large ship so quickly and install all the weapon systems?"
"Fire! Give it a shot first!"
The coast guard ship's 76mm main gun fired at the battleship.
Boom~~!
A flash of fire flashed across, and this small-caliber artillery fired a shot at the battleship.
The fire flashed on the battleship's hull, but the hull did not shake at all.
The strength of battleships lies not only in their firepower, but also in their armor.
This kind of armor does not have much protection against missiles and aerial bombs, but it is simply overkill when used to defend against a gun with a caliber that is not as large as the main gun of a tank.
To use an inappropriate analogy, if the battleship is asleep, firepower of this caliber will not wake him up.
Therefore, the battleship did not fight back against the attack from the Rainforest Kingdom.
However, it still made some movements. The battleship slowly turned its hull, and its main gun was adjusting its direction, as if it was preparing to fight back.
This discovery greatly excited the people in the Rainforest Kingdom.
"As expected! As expected, they only have the firepower of the main gun!"
"Those secondary guns, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns should all be fake!"
"Everyone can rest assured!"
The coast guard ship of the Rainforest Kingdom continued to approach, not allowing the battleship to adjust its gun muzzle, and became much bolder.
Jones still did not act rashly, but continued to observe.
After a while, the coast guard ship of the Rainforest Kingdom approached the battleship. These guys even tried to board the battleship. Of course, that was very difficult.
The soldiers on the battleship appeared. The heavy hull could not turn quickly, so they opened fire in defense.
Heavy machine guns and rifles fired continuously, which could also attack the coast guard ship, sending sparks flying all over the ship.
Relying on this coast guard ship alone, it really can't cause any big trouble to the battleship. Even if it doesn't fire, they can't get on.
Seeing this, Jones was finally relieved.
With a wave of his hand, he gave the order for a general attack.
As a result, the coast guard ships cruising in the surrounding waters started to move towards the battleship.
Magnolia's gunboat was also slowly approaching from the rear and side of the Light Chaser warship.
But the real killer move is still in the sky.
There are nearly a hundred fighter jets and helicopters in total, which are the main force against battleships.
Plane engines roared and ship whistles roared.
The naval battle finally begins!
Those coast guard ships didn't care whether their firepower could inflict damage on the battleships, they just fired regardless. They were not the main attacker anyway, so firing proved their effectiveness.
The jingling attacks kept coming, attacking the battleship like iron.
The battleship's huge cannon swayed from side to side, seemingly in a panic, unable to find a suitable target to attack.
This gave the surrounding warships and aircraft more confidence, and the distance became closer and closer.
The fighter jets were still lingering in the distance, and the helicopters were approaching.
It seemed that it was only a matter of time before this giant ship was sunk.
And just when they thought the situation was decided, the battleship finally made a counterattack.
Seeing that the enemy was almost close, Luan Junfeng finally ordered to fire.
The first target is the coast guard ship of the Rainforest Empire.
To deal with this kind of small boat, there is no need to use the main gun.
The whole body of the battleship is full of weapons. In addition to the three three-carriage mounted main guns, there are also 20 127 mm caliber high-level dual-purpose secondary guns.
This kind of secondary gun is more powerful than the main gun of a main battle tank, and is almost comparable to a howitzer on the battlefield.
Seeing the enemy approaching, Luan Junfeng gave the order.
"Fire!"
The four secondary guns on the left side fired at the coast guard ship at the same time.
Boom boom boom boom~~~!
The distance between the two sides is too close, so there is no need to aim, just fire and hit!
In an instant, the coast guard ship of the Rainforest Kingdom burst into flames!
The ship's island was completely destroyed, and the impact of four shells caused the ship to tilt a little.
"Keep firing!"
Boom boom boom~~!
They fired continuously again, striking while the iron was hot, completely turning the hull into a sea of flames!
"Third round of fire!"
The huge explosion occurred in an unknown place. The coast guard ship of the Rainforest Kingdom was sending up black smoke into the sky. The hull cracked and water entered the hull. It began to slowly sink into the sea, becoming the first naval battle. Sacrifice.
At this time, helicopters from the sky had also arrived and began a head-on confrontation with the battleship.
I thought I would finish writing this climactic plot today, but as I started writing, I realized that I couldn't finish it. It would take at least a few more chapters tomorrow. The naval battle and the river-crossing battle are a coherent plot.
The monthly ticket should be 400 yuan soon, and there will be more updates tomorrow!
