Chapter 406 Chapter 406 Chaotic Shore

More and more soldiers climbed onto the sand, some taking off their shoes and emptying the gravel from their boots, others returning to help the sailors push the dinghy back into the water.

Soon nearly 200 people went ashore, and then the speed of the troops landing began to slow down.

Many small boats were trapped near the beach, and their return speed was extremely slow. Most of the subsequent landing troops did not even carry weapons and equipment.

A 105 mm caliber howitzer has been sent to the shore, but the shells and the truck towing the cannon have not yet been seen.

The first car to go ashore, because it was unloaded early, the whole car was soaked in water, and the engine was scrapped and completely damaged.

On the contrary, the signal soldiers and their war horses are much more active. In addition to being able to go ashore by themselves, the war horses can even help pull small pieces of supplies ashore.

"Who told you to get the car ashore in such a hurry? The soldiers didn't even go ashore. What's the rush for the equipment? Ah? What's the rush?" After resting for more than ten minutes, the commander of the 1st Battalion finally remembered his work and pointed at the discarded The car, shouted to the unloading sergeant.

"I don't know what's going on, sir!" The sergeant felt aggrieved, he was not in charge of loading and unloading cargo, who knew what was going on.

Perhaps this matter itself was operated by the sailors, and had nothing to do with the army officers and soldiers. Who made the landing process so chaotic, and everyone didn't understand the situation.

"Where are the scouts? Have they dispersed? Are there any villages nearby or local residents? I don't know anything. How should I command this situation?" The commander of the 1st Battalion sighed and turned to ask the officers around him.

The officer also looked embarrassed: "Battalion commander, the reconnaissance platoon directly under the battalion headquarters hasn't landed yet, and those horses are the messengers of the 1st company headquarters..."

"Where's the machine gun team? How many machine gun teams are there now?" The commander of the 1st Battalion was a little confused when he encountered such a chaotic situation for the first time.

At any time in the past, his organizational system was complete, and the troops were mobilized like arms and fingers. It was impossible for such a situation to occur.

The officers below are actually dizzy one by one-the commander of the 2nd company has not even found his own company headquarters yet.

"We have seven machine gun teams ashore..." the officer answered truthfully.

"So many?" The 1st Battalion Commander was overjoyed when he heard this.If he had seven machine guns, he could almost build a defensive circle around the landing site.This can at least ensure that the follow-up troops can land safely, which is good news.

"Sir, their machine guns haven't landed yet, or they haven't even been loaded on the ship..." The officer spread his hands in embarrassment, and poured cold water on his commander: "There is only one machine gun on the shore now... ..."

"They all boarded the boat empty-handed? And then they just landed? What are they fighting with without weapons? Huh?" The commander of the 1st Battalion broke down.

"I asked. The order given by the 2nd Battalion said that people should go ashore first, and then the equipment will be brought over... So they went ashore the fastest, but they didn't bring weapons. Oh, it's not like they didn't bring weapons at all. , there are seven or eight people with S3 pistols." The officer hurriedly explained.

"What's the use of that?" The 1st Battalion Commander's face turned pale, and he caught a glimpse of the mighty 105mm howitzer that didn't even have shells, and his whole body became worse and worse.

Now, the troops landed by the Datang Group are really messy and varied-there are 1st battalion, 2nd battalion, and 3rd battalion.

At the same time, the arms also include combat infantry, engineers, signal soldiers, transport soldiers and cooking soldiers.More officers and fewer soldiers, more men and fewer weapons...

The troops are not subordinate to each other, the officers can't find their soldiers, and the soldiers can't find their commanders. The chaotic scene is really touching.

This is just a small-scale landing of less than 2000 people, and it has become like this. If it is a large-scale landing of tens of thousands of people, it is estimated that if you create trouble for yourself, it will be enough to cause yourself heavy losses.

"You bring the guns! The machine gun team with the guns! See that commanding height? Go there and build a defensive position!" Because there is no map, the commander of the 1st Battalion can only rely on his eyes to roughly deploy his troops.

"Let the 1st and 2nd platoons go ashore, and set up protective barriers on both sides of your defensive position! Do you understand?" He pointed in that direction, confirming that his subordinates understood his arrangement.

"But...sir...there is no enemy here at all..." the officer reminded with some anxiety.

"Execute the order! Everything follows the prescribed procedures!" The commander of the 1st Battalion stared at the opponent's eyes angrily: "Get lost!"

"Yes!" The officer quickly stood at attention and saluted, and then went to find the only machine gun team that landed with weapons.

As far as the eye could see, two more small boats docked, and dozens of soldiers jumped out of the boats.To the relief of the 1st Battalion Commander, he saw that these soldiers were all armed.

On the sea in the distance, a wolf-class cruiser was braving black smoke and wandering around the periphery of the fleet. Many small boats that had robbed the beach earlier were still struggling on their way back.

"Battalion Commander, you'd better come over and take a look at this..." A squad leader with a Thomson submachine gun on his back trotted unsteadily to the 1st Battalion Commander.

Panting for breath, he pointed to the distance: "There is a small road over there, and the other side... seems to be an abandoned farmland."

There are farmland and small roads, which means that there were people living here. This discovery made the 1st Battalion Commander vigilant. He frowned and raised his hand, signaling the squad leader who came to deliver the news to go and have a look with him.

The two of them pushed aside the bushes, climbed up the roadbed that was almost invisible in shape, and crossed a path with a dilapidated road surface, and saw a deserted field full of weeds in front of them.

At the end of the field, you can still vaguely see the collapsed wall and the thatched cottage that has become ruins.Obviously, there are traces of someone's activities here, but it was abandoned for unknown reasons.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, the 1st Battalion Commander looked at the squad leader who reported the news: "Have you found any locals?"

The squad leader shook his head.

Battalion 1 commander rubbed his nose and thought for a while: "Let's go! Go back! Let's talk after all the troops have landed."

None of them were professional scouts, and they couldn't see any specific ways.It's better to go back and wait for the follow-up troops to come up, so that it will be more effective for professionals to take a look.

This time they didn't go in vain, because they confirmed at least one thing - there were traces of people's activities near the landing site. If the other party found them, it was likely to attract nearby enemy soldiers.

The time left for them...is running out.

Let's just make up one more update, and continue tomorrow.
