Chapter 997 Landing Battle (5)
"Report to the Columbia Command." The battalion commander had just ordered the communicator, and the liaison soldier who had just left almost crawled in and shouted. "Battalion commander, battalion commander, those bombers are dropping bombs on our sea area!!"
"What?!" The battalion commander was shocked and almost peed on the spot! ! He naturally knew that the German army used huge waves to destroy the H-03-4 defense line. Could it be that the Germans used this trick again? ! "Quick! Order all soldiers to evacuate the underground fortifications! Otherwise they will be drowned!!" Returning to the ground may not necessarily be killed by the German bombs, but if you stay in the underground fortifications, you will definitely drown!
The soldiers who were hiding in the air defense fortifications heard that they might be flooded here, and they were scared to death and rushed out. As a result, when they returned to the ground, the German helicopter group was almost sticking to their heads and pouring bullets.
And those bombers certainly did not drop atomic eggs, but modified aerial bombs and depth charges to clear the mines deployed in this sea area.
The Germans did not plan to land on a large scale in the H-03-4 defense line. The sea area there has been polluted, and the pollution will not disappear in a short time, which is also a big trouble.
The H-03-5 defense line is wider and flatter, and the number of floating docks that can be installed is almost twice that of the H-03-4 section. The Germans naturally chose this place as the real landing point.
Although this sea area is also deployed with a large number of mines, the Germans have more bombers and more bombs. The bombs dropped are enough to bomb every inch of the sea below, and they can bomb several times.
In the Columbia Command, Commander Williams frowned deeply while looking at the telegram in his hand. "Are the Germans bombing the H-03-5 defense line? Are there also 100-meter-high waves there?" But he felt that it should not be. The huge waves that destroyed the H-03-4 defense line were blown up by just one bomb, and at this moment, it was obviously a group of bombers that bombed the H-03-5 sea area.
The communicator shook his head. "I don't know. This is the last telegram sent by the H-03-5 defense line's remaining battalion. There was no movement after that." He naturally didn't know that because of fear of being swallowed by the sea, the defenders on the H-03-5 defense line all fled to the ground, and were wiped out by the German helicopter unit. The strength of a mere battalion is not enough to be strangled by dozens of helicopters.
"Is the real target of the Germans the H-03-5 defense line?" Commander Williams was so depressed that he was about to go crazy. There were no reconnaissance planes, and even submarines could not be sent out. The movements of the enemy fleet were completely in the dark. This battle was too cowardly! Previously, there was an order from the Washington Operations Department to redirect the reserve troops heading to the H-03-5 defense line to the H-03-4 defense line; now there was no movement on the H-03-5 defense line. If all the defenders there had been killed, wouldn't there be no one to defend there? !
"Send another telegram to Washington!"
The telegram was quickly sent to Washington. Everyone in the combat command room was a little confused when they received the news that German bombers were bombing the H-03-5 defense line.
The Germans had clearly begun to land on the H-03-4 defense line, so why did they bomb the H-03-5 sea area? Did they want to make a feint to the east and attack the west? But what's the point?
The Germans bombed the H-03-5 sea area to clear the mines deployed there. "But why don't the Germans use nuclear bombs again?" How fast and convenient is that thing? One can easily clear the mines in the entire sea area.
"..."Marshall didn't dare to say that Germany no longer had a stockpile of nuclear bombs this time. "Maybe the cost of nuclear bombs is high, and the Germans are saving money?"
"What should we do now?" Once the Germans clear the mines in the H-03-5 sea area, they will definitely land from there.
But the most urgent thing is that they have already landed on the H-03-4 defense line!
"Damn it!"
In the end, the two divisions' reserves could only be split into two groups, one to reinforce the H-03-4 defense line, and the other to reinforce the H-03-5 defense line.
But the problem was still unsolved. Without air superiority, the closer the reinforcements were to the two defense lines, the more likely they would be attacked by German air strikes. Since it was impossible to seize air superiority, the best way was to wait until dark before moving forward.
But it was not yet noon, and it would take seven or eight hours to wait until dark? How many troops would the Germans have to land during this period, and would they still be driven into the sea?
The solution they finally came up with was to let these reinforcements move forward in small groups, so that even if they encountered a German aircraft group, they would not be wiped out in one go.
Just as they gave the order, the German hovercraft group that had unloaded the tanks had returned to the landing ship to pick up the second batch of armored troops.
When a hovercraft entered the bottom cabin of the landing ship, the soldier guarding the hatch gestured near the hull of the hovercraft with an instrument in his hand and shouted loudly. "The radiation level is too high. Hurry up and clean it up."
Several soldiers holding water pipes sprayed the hovercraft fiercely, and the entire hovercraft was covered with chemical foam. Then they rinsed it with a high-pressure water gun and checked it again. "The radiation level is within the safe range."
The hovercraft then went to load new tanks, while the soldiers near the hatch continued to check the second hovercraft.
This repeated process, an hour later, the hovercrafts loaded with tanks drove out of the landing ship's bottom cabin again and headed towards the shore.
"I heard that this place is only more than 700 kilometers away from Washington? Then if our armored forces advance at full speed, they can kill it in one day?" On a hovercraft, several soldiers wearing protective clothing were chatting easily.
"How can it be that easy and Americans won't stop it?"
"Block? Do you think we see Americans now? These cowards must have been scared and ran away. When they saw our armored troops, they might be so scared that they couldn't even raise their guns."
"Haha, when you say that, it reminds me of the French soldiers in the Battle of France. I don't know who is more cowardly than the French soldiers, these American soldiers."
As they chatted more and more, the monitor on the side scolded them. "Don't be careless. If the Americans can be defeated so easily, then why do we still need to mobilize so many troops to kill them? If they are really cowardly, they should surrender after we defeat the Soviet Union. The reason why you are not here Look at the American soldiers, not because they all escaped, but because they were caught off guard by our super bombs and were buried in underground fortifications. If we didn't have this super bomb, this landing battle would be very bloody."
The other soldiers nodded. "That's true, but the side effects of this super bomb seem to be quite serious. We all have to wear protective clothing. Wouldn't San Antonio be uninhabitable?"
"It doesn't matter whether it can be inhabited or not, it's not our city."
As they spoke, the hovercraft group sailed past the US defense line and unloaded the second batch of armored units.
