At that time, it was almost noon, the weather was calm, and the gray sky enveloped the blue sea.
It was a rare good weather.
The waves in the sea are white with green in between.
The white is sand and the green is trees.
There are also white holiday houses scattered throughout, which is pleasing to the eye.
The only disharmonious thing is the deep positions established based on the island's undulating terrain.
Those dazzling sandbags show the cruel reality.
There are two suitable landing places, one in the south and one in the north, both with gentle beaches and cliffs on the east and west sides.
Xiao Ming chose to land in the south, with the wide Strait of Malacca at his back to prevent being attacked from the front and back.
The frigate is parked on the sea three kilometers away from the island and cannot be too close to the shore.
It is easily attacked by the enemy's portable recoilless guns or rockets.
It cannot be too far away from the shore, which is not conducive to covering the landing.
Although the original consideration was to avoid landing operations, a mere three square kilometers of island is not easy to capture.
Xiao Ming soon discovered that he was too optimistic and underestimated the enemy's combat effectiveness and will.
Preparations were completed quickly, and the first echelon consisted of six squads.
Their mission was to seize the beachhead and meet the follow-up troops.
Xiao Wu insisted on participating in the war, and Xiao Ming considered it and put him in the second echelon.
There is no dedicated landing craft, so lifeboats can only be used instead.
Navy soldiers lowered the only six lifeboats from both sides of the middle and rear of the ship.
The boats had light propellers and were not fast.
They were easy targets for the enemy and needed cover from naval gunfire.
In the command cabin, Xiao Ming observed with a telescope that the enemy troops on the shore showed no signs of movement, so they should have been prepared.
The frontline of the enemy's position was about one thousand meters away from the beach, which was the limit of the range of individual weapons.
It seemed that they had voluntarily abandoned the beachhead.
After the white sand, there is a blue-black reef with a wide field of vision, making it difficult for the landing troops to charge.
There are disadvantages and advantages.
It is difficult for the enemy to ambush from both sides.
"Fire" Xiao Ming gave the order, and the two automatic artillery fired in a straight line from the beach where they landed to the enemy's position to prevent mines or traps from being buried.
Almost at the same time, six lifeboats lined up and headed towards the shore.
In the command cabin, Xiao Ming and Tang Zihong stared at the telescope nervously.
Smoke rose from the enemy's position, and they were beaten so hard that they dared not show their heads.
It went quite smoothly, and the lifeboat rushed onto the beach.
The enemy did not even make a sporadic counterattack, and seemed to have misfired.
The first echelon pushed forward on the white sand, and the lifeboat returned the same way, preparing to transport the second echelon.
Unexpectedly, less than a hundred meters after returning home, the lifeboat exploded several times and turned into six fireballs, and the sailor driving the boat also turned into a flaming man.
Xiao Ming was stunned, why didn't he see the artillery fire on the shore?
It was too late, but soon, I saw several black figures emerging from the shallow water.
From behind the first echelon on the shore, they fired and threw grenades.
The sixty landing troops suddenly fell to the ground, and the rest fell one after another.
Fall down, turn around and fight back.
It turned out that the little devil actually hid an ambush underwater and took the first echelon's retreat.
The shelling coverage just now missed the sea surface.
This was a major mistake by the commander.
It's not that Xiao Ming didn't expect it, but he thought that there were nuclear-mutated fish in the sea, so the little devil wouldn't risk his life by going into the sea.
He made the mistake of taking it for granted.

The little devil had long been stationed in Langtaosha and had naturally detected this sea area, which showed that the shallow water beach was safe.
Xiao Ming didn't have time to blame himself and shouted: "Kill them!"
At a distance of three kilometers, the heavy machine guns lost their accuracy.
Among the weapons on the ship, except for automatic artillery, only machine guns had such a long range.
Of course, that double-barreled large-caliber naval gun can also be used, but it’s just that you can’t kill a chicken with a sledgehammer.
The machine gunner opened fire "aggressively", and the ambush soldiers had disappeared.
There was no trace of blood on the sea, and they actually escaped.
Xiao Ming estimated that this was the enemy's ninja team.
The platoon leader of the first echelon sent a report that seventeen people were killed and eight seriously injured, requesting that the wounded be transported.
Xiao Ming was dumbfounded.
The only six lifeboats were blown up.
Even the second echelon couldn't get up.
How could they transport the wounded down?
Tang Zihong quickly reminded: "There is also a speedboat at the stern of the ship, which can carry twenty people."
The authorities were so confused that Xiao Ming actually forgot that he came by speedboat.
He controlled his emotions: "Xiao Wu, take two squads and prepare for rescue."
The second echelon quickly dispatched.
This time, Xiao Ming learned the lesson and ordered the machine gun to shoot at the sea surface to provide fire cover.
Automatic artillery continued to suppress enemy positions.
The speed boat is much faster, but it has a disadvantage.
It cannot rush to the beach and can only anchor in shallow water, otherwise it will run aground.
Xiao Wu took the lead, jumping into the waist-deep water and wading forward.
To a certain extent, the enemy's ambush just now helped the second echelon explore the way.
The battlefield fell into a strange state.
On the one hand, the artillery fire was lively, but on the other hand, the two sides did not really exchange fire.
The wounded soldiers were transported back smoothly, and the speedboat made two more trips.
The second echelon completed its assembly on the beach and crawled forward along the road opened by the first echelon.
Xiao Ming felt that it was almost done, so he ordered the naval guns to cease fire.
After this round of covering artillery fire, the enemy should be dead or not.
They must be well hidden, and it would be useless to continue the bombardment.
The remaining tasks were left to the landing troops to complete.
The landing force had reached a hundred people.
Even if the enemy had few casualties, they were still well matched.
Xiao Ming saw from the telescope that the first echelon was approaching the enemy's position.
Xiao Wu, from the second echelon, led two squads and followed closely behind.
There is silence on the battlefield, the silence before death Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and two landing soldiers jumped into the air, and were blown to pieces.
Intensive gunfire suddenly rang out, and the soldiers in the first echelon were exposed to the enemy's gunfire, beaten to pieces, and lay down on the spot.
The second echelon immediately stopped advancing, looked for bunkers among the rocks, and organized a counterattack on the spot.
The battlefield was in chaos, with bullets flying everywhere, dust flying, and gunpowder smoke filling the air.
Xiao Ming could not see clearly through the telescope.
He could only ask about the situation through the intercom: "First echelon, report the casualties."
It took a while before I heard the response.
It turned out that the platoon leader had been killed in action and was being commanded by a squad leader on his behalf.
As soon as he reported, more than half of the first echelon had been killed, which was very tragic.
The second echelon was okay and suffered no losses, but it was suppressed by the enemy's firepower on the rocks and could not move even an inch.

Because the distance between the two sides was extremely close and the line of sight was unclear, the frigate had overwhelming firepower but was unable to assist the landing troops.
God was good, and the wind suddenly rose on the sea, blowing away the smoke and dust on the battlefield, and the enemy's firepower points were suddenly revealed, which turned out to be bunkers.
Tang Zihong deplored the casualties of his men, and did not care about killing a chicken with a knife.
He ordered the double-barreled large-caliber naval gun to fire directly for a precise strike.
"Boom, boom, boom", one crater after another, a round of artillery fire came down, and the enemy's position was blown to pieces.
However, because the bunkers were located close to the ground, the impact of the attack was very poor, and most of the firepower points were still there.
Xiao Ming was surprised.
He saw that the enemy used sniper rifles, submachine guns, heavy machine guns, and rockets to form a crossfire network.
The configuration and shooting range of various weapons were carefully calculated, and there were no shooting dead spots.
This could not only protect himself to the greatest extent, but also Can damage the opponent to the maximum extent.
It seems that the enemy's commander has received a systematic military education, unlike Xiao Ming who is half-baked and relies entirely on groping in actual combat.
Seeing that the landing force's advance was blocked and trapped in front of the enemy's position, Tang Zihong became anxious: "Give me more reinforcements."
"Adjutant Tang, calm down."
Xiao Ming also tried his best to calm down.
The enemy abandoned the beachhead, apparently to lure the enemy deeper.
It also blew up the lifeboats of the landing troops, hindering reinforcements.
Coupled with tactics such as defense in depth and close-range shooting, in a limited space, the more landing troops invested, the more passive they become.
In order to open up the passive situation, the leading troops can only attack the enemy's position, then they can follow the enemy's lead and destroy all the bunkers one by one.
If Xiao Ming had enough troops, he would definitely try the human sea tactic and launch a group charge.
But now, he wants to preserve his vitality as much as possible, because the real fierce battle is still to come.
You can't attack by force, you can only outwit.
Xiao Ming observed carefully with a telescope, put himself in his shoes, and imagined what he would do if he was on the front line.
Be sure to knock down several bunkers on the periphery of the position.
Those firepower points directly choke the landing troops.
Xiao Ming remembered an important weapon: "Adjutant Tang, do you have a flamethrower?"
Tang Zihong guessed his purpose and shook her head sadly: "No, not even the blasting tube."
Flamethrowers and blasting tubes are powerful weapons against bunkers and bunkers.
It is true that before the nuclear disaster, the militaries of various countries had developed to a level where they could kill enemies invisibly even though they were thousands of miles apart.
However, in just ten years, mankind has regressed back to primitive and cruel ground warfare, and is even no match for the teeth and tongues of nuclear zombies.
Just in line with the old saying: If you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die; if you commit sin, you won’t live.
"Brothers, stay where you are and hold on.
Reinforcements will arrive near the bunker soon.
You can try throwing grenades into the gun holes."
Xiao Ming racked his brains while cheering for the landing troops.
"Boom, boom" The soldiers in the first echelon threw the grenades in unison, exploding clouds of smoke on the enemy's position, but none of them hit.
After all, if you throw a grenade from a prone position and it can be thrown into the shooting port of the bunker, you have a chance of winning.
Xiao Ming began to regret the decision he made.
The worst thing was that the landing troops could not even withdraw.
"Brother, this is your first time to command a battle.
I must support you."
Xiao Wu's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
Before Xiao Ming could react, he saw where Xiao Wu's two squads were.
Gunfire rang out, and a figure in camouflage green jumped up quickly and ran towards the nearest bunker under the cover of intensive firepower.
"Brother" Xiao Ming was unable to stop him.
He watched Xiao Wu take the risk and his heart shrank into a ball:
