Chapter 467 Landing of the Army
On June 17, 4, Gregorian calendar, on a quiet and scattered morning, several children from civilian families of the Kamikaze Empire were playing on the beach. They were used to chasing the waves.
Suddenly, an uneasy voice came from far away from the sea level, and a thin black line appeared there.
At 7:30 a.m., this thin line has become an endless fleet on the sea, and the huge Fengshen Island landing fleet of the Sword Empire finally appeared near Fengshen Island.
After about half an hour of artillery preparation, the Sword Empire began amphibious landing operations, and the huge and horrible transportation efficiency of the navy was fully reflected here again. Thousands of civilian ships and military transport ships sent batches of soldiers to the strange coast.
Unlike the forced landing near Doyle Harbor, the first troops of the Seiken Empire landed on Fengshen Island with little resistance. These troops easily landed on the beach, and the only trouble the soldiers encountered was that their military boots were filled with sand.
The first 2nd Marine Division to land on the beach had prepared some equipment for strong attack, but these weapons were quickly thrown on the beach. The soldiers easily gathered to chat and warmly welcomed the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Armored Division of the Empire who landed later.
However, the good days ended with the expansion of the landing operations. After consolidating the landing beach defense position, the 3rd Marine Division encountered the army of the kamigaze Empire on the way to the hinterland of the kamigaze Empire, and the two sides fought fiercely over several important roads.
Kamaze Haobo played a huge role in measuring the trenches prepared to deal with the cavalry of the Sword Empire. These things were poured into a large amount of seawater, and most of the positions were swampy, and the assault tank forces of the Sword Empire fell into a dilemma.
"Order the engineers to clear these swamps! Immediately!" A tank officer of the Holy Sword Empire drilled out of his tank car and jumped out and ran a long way to find the infantry force responsible for covering them. Although his tank force fell into the mud, the troops of the Kamikaze Empire were helpless with these steel monsters.
Under the cover of the magic cannon, the engineers of the Sword Empire slowly repaired the road that had been destroyed to the extreme. Because of the lack of maps and guides, many troops were crowded on the beach, and the battle to expand the landing site did not go smoothly.
To a large extent, the difficult battles were caused by the Sword Empire itself. In order to improve transportation efficiency, a large number of shields were changed to wood. These shields were dragged behind the transport ship with fishing nets, but in the next few days of landing, these shields were heavy because they were immersed in seawater.
The tank has a large number of failures due to muddy shock absorption and transmission devices, and the car is also difficult to move. Because of these estimates, the mule horses did not follow the first wave of landing troops, which made the logistics supply of the whole landing force extremely difficult.
The engineering troops became popular in all offensive directions, because the commanders of the Holy Sword Empire soon found that the speed of paving roads directly affected the propulsion speed of their troops - compared with the muddy roads, it was easier for the soldiers of the Kamikaze Empire who counterattacked.
Major Tuke of the Logistics Support Transport Battalion of the 3rd Armored Division witnessed the chaotic landing battle: "If it weren't for the weak kamigaze Imperial Army, we would have suffered at least 30 times the losses."
In order to be in a hurry, tons of magic crystals and other waterproof materials were directly thrown on the talk, waiting for the busy logistics force to retrieve them. The entire naval transport fleet is also responsible for transporting General Gavin's 2nd Army deployed in Bark Province here.
Because there is no effective and accurate combat map, artillery support becomes extremely slow. Most of the time, the Holy Sword Empire has to rely on the direct-fire artillery of the tank troops to support the slow advance of the infantry.
One of the most important things the troops who don't know the road do is to ask where they are. Because of the uncooperative attitude of the locals of the Kamigade Empire, the soldiers of the Sword Empire rarely get the information they want, and the information they often get is false.
Although after temporary coordination, the 3rd Armored Division, the most elite of the first wave of landing forces, attacked west, the 2nd Marine Division expanded its position eastward, and the 3rd Marine Division went all the way south. However, the troops that lacked accurate offensive targets have not made any substantial progress on the 7th day of landing.
When the eighth day of the landing battle of the kamigaze Strait came, some earth-shaking changes took place on the battlefield.
First of all, the 3rd Marine Division, which attacked to the south, found the Luoping River, the largest freshwater river on Fengshen Island, which stabilized the situation.
Then the 2nd Marine Division, which attacked to the east, was fiercely resisted by the defenders of the Kaminaze Empire. This is undoubtedly good news for the 2nd Marine Division, which has been blindly looking for targets. They believe that any area where the other side is closely defended must have very important strategic goals.
Finally, General Gavin landed on Fengshen Island with the main force of his 2nd Army Group on June 25. According to the request, this force strengthened its engineers and brought four businessmen who had done business in Fengshen Island as guides.
Through emergency deployment, the Holy Sword Empire also found several professional engineers for mapping maps. Their task is to map the area occupied by Fengshen Island as soon as possible.
But there is also bad news, that the few guides brought have no effect at all. They have only been to a port city called Jiagui City and know the road from there to Fengshen City, which is of no use to the current army of the Sword Empire.
The next day, the 3rd Armored Division of the Seiken Empire was also fiercely resisted by the kamikaze Empire army. After a day and a night of fierce battle, they finally saw the city head of a city. They learned from the prisoners that they had now stormed near Jincheng, the second largest port city of Fengshen Island.
After receiving this important news, Gavin immediately ordered the two divisions of the 2nd Army Group to launch an attack to the west.
Soon, because the roads in the occupied area had been repaired, fuel and supplies were replenished, covered by a certain degree of magic cannons, and with the support of naval destroyers, the 3rd Armored Division resumed its attack in the direction of Jincheng.
Although the troops of the Kamigaze Empire resisted desperately, due to the huge gap in equipment level and the lack of garrison in the direction of Jincheng, on the night of June 26, Jincheng Port was occupied by the 3rd Armored Division of the Holy Sword Empire, and the Holy Sword Empire finally occupied a The city has completely gained a firm foothold.
