Chapter 1182(2/2)
At the end, when the enemy is sucked into a skeleton, he will ask for whatever you want.
Even if you step on their heads and shit, there will be no problem.
The fleet set off, consisting of two aircraft carriers, three battleships, and fifteen destroyers.
The huge fleet is what gives Li Xiu the confidence to attack!
The 480mm cannon on the Shanzi-class battleship is a presence that scares everyone.
Palermo, the capital of Sicily, is within the range of naval guns.
In fact, Li Xiu never thought about occupying the entire Sicily with one division. He only needed to control a port city.
Anyway, after driving such a wedge in Sicily, the subsequent Marine Corps will also come over one after another to concentrate.
The whole of Sicily would fall into the hands of Ming sooner or later.
With Sicily sealed off, the entire Eastern Mediterranean was dominated by Ming ships.
Unlike now, patrol planes have to be sent out all day long to search for fear that a Christian Alliance warship might sneak in!
Objectively, it also plays a role in saving troops.
The huge fleet moved all the way west. When the Christian Alliance ships saw this fleet along the way, they simply fled.
Unfortunately, no matter how they escaped, they could not escape the pursuit of the carrier-based aircraft.
How could a warship drive faster than an airplane, even if it was right in front of their home?
On two occasions, carrier-based aircraft even pursued enemy destroyers and directly entered the Italian military port.
Faced with the Ming Dynasty's arrogant and domineering tactics, the Italians' approach was to transfer all their limited ironclad ships to the north.
There is no way, there is no way to fight this kind of battle.
People were flying around in the sky so fast that even anti-aircraft shells couldn't catch them.
Before you can beat them down, they start to greet you with torpedo bombs.
The bomb was okay, after all, it exploded on the deck, so there were only a few casualties.
But torpedoes can be fatal. A 500-kilogram high-explosive torpedo explodes. It can directly send a destroyer with a displacement of 3,000 tons into the seabed!
The Ming pilots were so bored that they even strafed Italian fishermen for fun.
But soon, this boring practice was strictly prohibited by Li Xiu.
Not for any humanitarian reason, just because it's such a fucking waste of ammunition.
Ammunition also costs money!
The vastness of the fleet was not hidden at all, and it paraded on the Mediterranean Sea with great arrogance.
Along the way, there were some ghosts and gods.
After two days of sailing, we finally arrived in Sicily.
Li Xiu is naturally familiar with landing operations. He was originally the commander of the Marine Corps!
When we were fighting in India, we did a lot of things like landing operations.
First pull out the arsenal ship, face what looks like a bunker on the coast, and blast it!
The position that the Italians had hastily established was blown to pieces in just an instant.
Facing the charred beach, the Marine Corps appeared.
The early marines sailed towards the coast in small boats. In the sky, Ming army fighter jets circled like eagles.
Whenever an Italian army target is discovered, it will pounce on it like an eagle.
Gao Jiu, who had become the company commander, immediately rushed to the beach with ten assault boats.
As soon as the assault boat washed up on the beach, they jumped out with people and waded to the shore.
The Marines lay on the beach, shooting at all suspicious targets with their Aka rifles.
After emptying a magazine, Gao Jiu signaled the guys to stop shooting.
It was quiet all around, and smoke was still rising from the huge crater not far away.
Many tall palm trees on the beach were blown down and became temporary shelters.
No one, no one.
It is estimated that even the person who was there just now was killed by the huge power of the rocket launcher. The power of the five hundred kilogram warhead when it exploded was astonishing.
What's more, this is a rocket launcher salvo.
Not to mention explosions, even earthquakes will shock you to death.
"Be careful where you step, one platoon searches forward, the second platoon follows, and the third platoon stays behind." Gao Jiu gave the order loudly.
A platoon leader led a platoon, holding Aka rifles and walking forward carefully.
Although there were rocket bombardments, no one could guarantee that there were no mines buried underground.
If you step on it accidentally, you will become lame by accident.
The burning palm trees emitted billowing smoke, giving the beach a battlefield feel.
After the search platoon advanced five to six hundred meters, the second platoon started next.
The third platoon stayed on the beach to meet the landing troops below.
Gao Jiu and the second platoon followed behind the first platoon. Everyone was hunched over, ready to lie down at any moment.
Experience in the Middle East tells them that bullets may come from anywhere.
If the enemy has mortars, it will be even more terrifying.
"Lie down!" Gao Jiu's sharp eyes saw a bunker in the bushes.
The exposed part of the ground is only about half a meter high, and it is difficult to find it because it is covered by trees.
The leading soldiers crawled over, but there was no reaction at all from inside the bunker.
The lead soldier lay down next to the shooting hole of the bunker, took out a grenade and stuffed it inside.
"Boom!" A large cloud of gunpowder smoke came out of the shooting hole of the bunker.
The leading soldier didn't hear the screams, so he waved to the back and got out of the bunker.
This was a reinforced concrete bunker. No one was seen inside, only shrapnel embedded in the wall after the grenade exploded.
Gao Jiu was also a little puzzled. It stands to reason that the Ming fleet was marching so arrogantly. There was no reason for the Italians to be unprepared at all!
This bunker is so hidden and strong that no one is defending it.
Soon, the search platoon advanced more than two kilometers.
We encountered many fortifications along the way, but no one was stationed there either.
So in the end, the soldiers only shot twice at the shooting holes and then went down to search.
Gao Jiu was a little puzzled, he didn't even want his men to go further.
This is so weird!
Everyone knows that the one kilometer in front of the beach is the best defensive area.
Moreover, there are many reinforced concrete bunkers here. Why did the Italians give up like this?
After advancing a few hundred meters, you can see the discarded mortars in the underground bunker.
There were even a lot of mortar-like shells inside the bunker.
The weapon was found, but no one was there.
Even if his grandma was killed by a rocket, there would still be a corpse.
No, nothing.
This weird beach is like a ghost island, with unspeakable weirdness everywhere.
