GBP Chapter 236 Island Battle
Chapter 236 Island Battle
After a month of fierce fighting, the Yan State fleet finally succeeded in capturing Gaoshan Island after going through untold hardships.
However, their journey did not stop there. At this moment, this powerful fleet was launching a fierce attack on its next target, Okinawa Island of Dongyang Kingdom.
At the same time, facing the aggressive Yan army, the Dongyang joint fleet unexpectedly remained inactive.
They seemed to be planning to rely on their country's impregnable defenses to engage in a life-and-death final showdown with the Yan State.
In this protracted war, Yan State's strategic bombers played a vital role.
They were like giant steel beasts in the sky, continuously carrying out carpet bombing on Dongyang's homeland.
For a time, flames shot up into the sky and smoke filled the air. All kinds of factories in Dongyang were severely damaged and the losses were incalculable.
The Yan State did not suffer no loss of cost either.
According to incomplete statistics, in this thrilling air raid, more than 30 strategic bombers of Yan State were unfortunately shot down by the enemy.
Despite this, the brave and fearless pilots of the Yan Kingdom continued to advance forward and threw themselves into the battle without hesitation.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, the United States, far across the ocean, extended a helping hand to the Dongyang Kingdom, which was in trouble.
They generously donated as many as two thousand of the latest model P-51 fighter planes to Dongyang State.
These fighter planes with excellent performance and powerful firepower quickly arrived at the Dongyang mainland like a strong whirlwind and engaged in intense and fierce battles.
Among them, 51 P- fighters have successfully participated in the combat and become the backbone of the force in resisting the strategic bombers of Yan Country.
Many of Yan Country's strategic bombers were destroyed by the interception of these advanced fighter jets.
Judging from the timeline, the appearance of this P-51 fighter jet was indeed a whole year earlier than in Qin Ruihua's previous life.
However, considering the many unforeseen variables and complex causal relationships in the historical process.
Such a "butterfly effect" is not surprising.
In this turbulent era, the military game between countries is becoming increasingly fierce.
Every technological breakthrough could lead to a major change in the war situation.
Dawn breaks, the morning light appears, and a new day begins.
On the vast ocean, with rough waves and howling sea breezes, a huge fleet is advancing towards a distant island.
This fleet is the Marine Corps from Yan Country. They have an important mission - to land on this island occupied by the enemy and start a thrilling battle.
According to statistics, the number of Marines participating in the landing operation reached 50,000, which is undoubtedly a powerful force.
However, what is unexpected is that there are about 70,000 Dongyang soldiers stationed on this seemingly inconspicuous island!
The disparity in military strength between the two sides is huge and the situation is extremely serious.
On the first day of the battle, the air was filled with smoke and flames.
The Marines encountered unprecedentedly stubborn resistance and suffered extremely heavy losses.
What is even more shocking is that the casualty ratio is almost the same as that of Dongyang State, with an astonishing one to one ratio!
You know, in all previous battles, the Yan army has never achieved such a bad result. This is simply a great shame!
Faced with such a dilemma, the Marine Corps commanders fell into deep thought.
What exactly made the battle so difficult?
After in-depth investigation and analysis, they found that Dongyang State had adopted a series of strange and unique tactics.
For example, they took advantage of the complex and ever-changing terrain and dug countless criss-crossing tunnels, allowing the enemy to elusively appear and disappear underground.
Or they might cleverly use the dense jungle as cover to launch surprise attacks, catching us off guard.
In addition, there are many extremely strong bunkers and blockhouses on the island.
A considerable number of heavy artillery were hidden in it, posing a huge threat to the attackers.
Despite numerous difficulties, the brave and fearless Yan soldiers did not retreat.
Finally, hard work pays off. After arduous efforts, the severely damaged super battleship of Yan State was repaired and could be put back into battle.
At the same time, carrier-based aircraft on various aircraft carriers took off into the sky like eagles spreading their wings, and cruisers, destroyers and battleships also went into full gear, aiming their powerful naval guns at the target islands.
In an instant, thousands of cannons fired at the same time, and the shells hit the enemy camp like dense raindrops, causing a thunderous noise that shook the earth.
The entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a sea of fire, with thick smoke billowing and covering the sky and the sun.
The Dongyang army hiding in bunkers and secret bunkers suddenly heard a deafening roar - an artillery attack from enemy warships!
"Everyone be careful! Find cover quickly!" someone shouted in panic.
However, another voice sounded particularly calm: "Why are you panicking? How can our impregnable bunker be easily destroyed by just a few shells?"
But just when some people were about to refute, there was a loud bang, shocking everyone like a bolt from the blue.
A giant naval gun from a super battleship slammed into the bunker, and in an instant, the entire bunker was blown to pieces and beyond recognition.
At the same time, other types of naval guns were still firing continuously, and dense artillery fire poured down like raindrops.
At this moment, the Marines who were originally charging suddenly stopped.
It turned out that in order to completely defeat the impregnable bunker defenses on Okinawa Island, Yan Country carefully deployed as many as two thousand Sky-1 ballistic missiles on Miyako Island.
A comprehensive strike was carried out on these target areas.
As the earth-shaking explosions resounded through the sky, the entire earth seemed to tremble.
Such horrific destructive power terrified some of the Dongyang troops, and some were even frightened to the point of pissing and shitting themselves, in a miserable state.
After days and nights of heavy bombing, the Marines once again set foot on the island and engaged in a fierce battle.
Compared with the last time, this operation was obviously much smoother.
Faced with Dongyang State's indestructible bunker defense line, Yan State's military industry department demonstrated outstanding innovation ability and tenacious fighting spirit.
They successfully developed the third-generation individual rocket launcher - the Type 100 mm rocket launcher.
Although its caliber remains at 40mm, it can fire powerful 100mm super-caliber rockets.
This new weapon system has undoubtedly become a powerful weapon for the troops to attack and defeat the enemy.
Whenever they discovered an enemy bunker or hidden bunker, the soldiers would launch a ruthless attack using the Flame-3 rocket launcher.
However, the cunning Dongyang Kingdom would still occasionally fire heavy artillery shells from some hidden bunkers, posing a certain threat to the Marines.
At this moment, a combat team composed of many brave soldiers responded quickly.
One of the team members skillfully picked up the walkie-talkie and called out calmly and firmly: "Call Falcon, call Falcon."
"Coordinates 17·2·6, there is a dangerous bunker here that is attacking us, requesting immediate bombing support!"
Soon, a response came from the walkie-talkie: "Received, expected to arrive in ten minutes, please hold on and wait for support."
Time passed by minute by minute.
Finally, several advanced attack aircraft roared in like birds of prey and flew over the target.
They mercilessly aimed at the damned bunker, firing one powerful 300mm rocket after another.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, smoke billowed, and the once intimidating bunker was reduced to ruins in the face of powerful firepower.
