Almost as they began to assemble the team, a rumbling sound came from the sea in the distance. The sound was imprinted in everyone's ears, so clear that they had already had a premonition.

Midway Island is a naval aviation and submarine base for the United States. It is not an important port city like Pearl Harbor, nor is it a strategic location for strict guarding. Therefore, the United States has not deployed any shore defense artillery here. Now, the planes and submarines in the base have left, and the base has almost no effective weapons to attack the sea.

Now, the attack from the islanders has arrived!

"Quick, pick up your weapons, guard the beach, and wait for the landing of the islanders!" Colonel Lord had guessed what.

Our side miscalculated, and all our main forces went to the Aleutian Islands to ambush the islands' fleet. Who would have thought that the main forces of the islands would appear on Midway Island. They would definitely land on the beach and try to occupy their islands. And our side, relying on their fearless spirit, stick to the island and wait for the arrival of reinforcements!

"By the way, where is our anti-aircraft gun? Push our anti-aircraft gun over!" Colonel Lord suddenly thought of something.

They do not have heavy firepower, but they have anti-aircraft guns for air defense. Almost all air defense guns are available at airports.

The powerful weapon of the US air defense is the m1 air defense anti-aircraft gun. Now, after receiving the order, the anti-aircraft artillery soldiers are preparing quickly.

This type of anti-aircraft gun has a diameter of 90 mm, which is quite bulky and weighs more than 8 tons. Ten people from the artillery squad tried their best to finally put away the anti-aircraft gun and hang it on the tractor. The tractor roared, and the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the side of the beach.

Just as they were about to remove the anti-aircraft guns, they could already see the shadows of those black landing ships under the hazy moonlight!

"Let's fire, open fire immediately!" The company commander of the anti-aircraft artillery company shouted loudly.

It was too late that they could not even transfer the anti-aircraft artillery into combat. Just when they were in a marching state, they opened fire.

"Boom!" A 90mm anti-aircraft artillery shell flew out of the barrel. At the moment of firing, the entire anti-aircraft artillery retreated several meters. The traced high-explosive bomb drew a line and headed towards the landing ship in front.

"Boom!" It actually hit it!

The characteristics of anti-aircraft guns are high chamber pressure and high initial velocity. In this case, the ballistic straightness is naturally suitable for use as a tank gun. In the sequence of the US military, this 90mm anti-aircraft gun has the same effect as the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun.

Now, it is quite easy to aim with a straight ballistic trajectory, almost just to hit wherever you want.

Although it hits accurately, its power is not enough.

"Boom!" The shell drilled into the bridge of the landing ship, exploded a big hole, shocking the people inside the bridge to the point of being confused, and lying up from the ground. The captain was not afraid at all: "Go forward, let's continue to move forward, fill the back, prepare to press the bow of the ship, and land on the beach!"

"Where is the naval gun? Open fire and kill these Americans!"

No one expected that the expected sneaky landing would actually turn into a strong attack, but even if it was a strong attack, they would not be afraid. The island army has always had drills to rush to land and is quite skilled in logging operations, not to mention that they still have good logging tools in their hands now.

"Bang, bang!" On the landing ship, the 40mm Bofos chariot cannon fired violently.

This 40mm cannon has blossomed everywhere and has become a common gun in Germany. Although its caliber is not large enough, its firing rate is enough to make up for its shortcomings, because it is a continuous weapon!

The shells flew over, hit the beach, and hit the anti-aircraft gun positions. The gunners were still nervously adjusting to shoot the elements, and the terrible shells flew over.

"Boom!" The tractor in front was blown up, the fire illuminated the beach and other anti-aircraft guns, and the attacks of the island country's navy became even more fierce.

In addition to the naval guns on the landing ships, the naval guns of the heavy cruisers who were guarding also began to fire. One by one, the shells cut through the night sky and opened fire violently towards the beach.

"Boom!" The 203mm naval gun fired, and a big pit exploded with just one shot. The entire beach position was shaking violently. They had no idea what consequences they would bring to their troops. They were digging a pit for themselves!

"Col. We can't resist it anymore. We must retreat!" A lieutenant shouted loudly beside Colonel Lord. He covered his head with his hands and lay on the side. Not far away, the explosion of the 203mm naval cannon shells brought him too much shock.

Under the bombardment of the islanders, the side may suffer heavy casualties on the beach where there is no danger.

"No, we have to block here," said Colonel Lord. "If we can't stop the islanders from landing, we will lose."

There are not many troops on the island at all. Only by blocking here and not allowing them to land can they defend the island. If the islanders come up, they will have no other choice but to surrender.

Although their shelling was very fierce, it would not last long because they would also land.

Sure enough, the shelling stopped in just three minutes. At this time, the landing ship in front had already driven at full speed and rushed towards the beach here.

What's going on?

It's unreasonable! Ordinary landing ships stop very far from the beach, and then the sailors will jump into the water and rush towards this side. Just when they wade over, it is their best chance to destroy them with a machine gun.

But no, the fire had illuminated the beach at this time. When they saw the landing ships rushing up hard, they were not afraid of being stranded!

When landing on the beach, you can directly send the troops to the beach, which can greatly reduce the casualties of the troops in the charge. This is the significance of the existence of the landing ship.

The landing ship in front quickly wiped the beach and rushed up. The bottom of the ship rubbed against the beach, making a squeaking sound, and then it stopped.

The front hatch opened and the inner fire boats started to move out.

The inner fire boat is an amphibious tank and the main force of the island country's naval equipment. Since it does not need to float on the water and go directly to the shore, it does not have a float attached. Just after the hatch door is opened, they will drive out quickly.

Getting on the beach and landing, with tanks, it is much easier to log in!

The inner fire boat in front drove more than 30 meters, and then disappeared with a bang.
Chapter completed!
