Captain Snake and Shield in Marvel

Chapter 16
Before arriving at the beach, Li Yangfang's convoy did not slow down and stop first, and asked the soldiers to get out of the car and form a battle formation.

Instead, rush forward as far as possible, close to the enemy's line of defense.

After all, the coastal defense line defends against sea landings, but if there are enemies coming from the land behind them, the defense strength is really mediocre.

What took some time to conquer were the machine gun bastions placed on both sides.

The enemies among them locked the gate of the fortress as soon as they found out that Li Yang and the others had attacked.

But that didn't do much.

The witty soldiers didn't need Li Yang to say anything, they just walked forward from the back of the fort against the outer wall, and when they reached the shooting port near the shore, a grenade was directly thrown into it.

While the enemy was in a panic, more grenades and incomplete combustion objects that produced a lot of smoke were thrown in.

In this way, the machine gun fortresses that would have caused huge casualties to the landing troops were easily removed one by one by Li Yang's subordinates.

The battle ended quickly, and God of War Steve only fought some small soldiers, and didn't find any difficulties that needed to be overcome by himself.

After capturing the beachhead, the soldiers began to urgently transform the fortifications here.

Remove the barbed wire fence on the sea side, and build a bunker on the land side.

Then I dropped all the machine guns facing the sea.

Basically, this kind of transformation has achieved the extreme within the time limit.

In the distance, the enemy army has appeared within sight.

Li Yang looked through the binoculars and found that it was a tank unit.

This is the most difficult type of enemy for Li Yang and the others to deal with now.

Although some artillery pieces were seized on the beachhead, they were able to cause damage to the tanks, but they hit the tanks on moving targets, and the hit rate was really not flattering; while the tanks hit them on fixed targets, one shot at a time.

There was no other choice but to call for support from naval guns.

Li Yang called a professional artilleryman and asked him to communicate with the Allied ships by radio.

Li Yang reckoned that it would be quite difficult to get an accurate shot. After all, allied ships and enemy tanks were on the move, and the distance between the two sides was [-] to [-] kilometers, so the flight time of the shells had to be calculated in advance.

It is normal for so many interfering factors to be distorted.

So next Li Yang saw what fire coverage is.

Not only is the naval gun coverage, the aircraft carrier in the Allied fleet also sent a carrier-based aircraft.

It's a pity that the enemy also sent planes, and the Luftwaffe was still very good, and the two sides fought together.

But Li Yang is already very satisfied. Although our plane can't bomb the other side, at least he doesn't have to be bombed by the plane.

Li Yang turned his gaze from the chaotic battle in the sky back to the direction of the German tank troops in the distance.

There is no scum left, only big pits dotted on the ground.

The power of the naval guns is really huge, and these pits can also play a role in slightly hindering the enemy's advance, and their vehicles can't walk in a straight line.

There was nothing to say about the subsequent battles. Without the obstruction of the strong fortifications of the coastal defense positions, the naval guns were invincible to the enemy who came for reinforcements.

An ordinary enemy, Li Yang, would defend himself one or two times, and when encountering a difficult armored unit, Li Yang would directly call for support from naval guns.

As for why they didn't keep bombarding them with naval bombardment, it was because after the landing, the Allied forces also had to march quickly to encircle the enemies on the Gustav line of defense.

If there are too many pits on the ground, it may affect the march.

About half an hour later, Li Yang saw the giant steel ship of the Allied Forces on the sea.

Seeing the landing craft sailing out of the dock cabin, Li Yang seemed to have thought of something.

When the landing craft arrived at the beach, the front hatch opened, and the soldiers filed out, Li Yang completely remembered.

The Normandy landing is coming soon, and the Allies have to be reminded to change to better equipment.

In his previous life, when Li Yang saw the Normandy landing in a certain movie, he was very puzzled why the landing craft drove forward.

After checking the Internet and seeing the deployment of the beachhead with his own eyes, Li Yang finally understood.

First of all, let’s take a look at the LVCP personnel landing craft used. Since the engine is behind, the whole ship is slightly tilted. When it rushed to the shore, the front bottom of the ship ran aground, and then the hatch was lowered, and the soldiers rushed out.

But let’s look at the position of the waterline. If the soldiers disembark from the side or the back, they will plunge their heads into the water above their heads. In addition, the soldiers’ equipment is at least 30 kilograms, so there is no need to waste German bullets. Just grunt and feed the fish.

Furthermore, landing on the beach requires one scramble, and time is of the essence. Opening the front door is the fastest way for all soldiers to get out of the ship. After all, not every machine gun on the beach happens to be in charge and is facing a landing craft. Even if the unlucky landing craft is targeted If it goes up, it also creates opportunities for other landing craft, not to mention that there are not only machine guns on the beach, but all kinds of howitzers and mortars are really powerful, so it is the right thing to rush forward.

Time is life, and the less time you spend on the beach, the less likely you are to be killed.

In addition, the German army's machine gun position is not necessarily on the front. It is true that there is a front, but there are also a bunch of bunkers on the side. The German army's firepower construction is very particular about intersecting. The defense structure of the beach where Li Yang and the others are now is arranged in this way.

Finally, although the LVCP is called a personnel landing craft, it is not just for pulling people. Materials, jeeps, artillery, bulldozers can be pulled, and these things can only be pulled through the front door.

But having said that, there are indeed landing vehicles with rear doors, called LVT crawler landing armored vehicles.

It can be understood as an amphibious infantry armored vehicle. The front steel plate is enough to resist 12.7mm caliber ammunition, and the side is also immune to conventional bullets. The car is often equipped with a .30/.50 caliber machine gun, or even a 37mm howitzer. It can also be used after landing Cooperating with infantry to fight together, or transporting the wounded, this level is not known to be higher than that of LCVP landing craft.

The strange thing is that the fourth class was equipped with this kind of amphibious armored vehicle in 1943, and it was good to use it. Why didn't the US Army use it when it landed in Normandy?

There are various rumors about this, such as the wind and waves are too big to be suitable for LVT, or the U.S. military does not deal with each other.

However, even though there were too many uncertainties, Li Yang decided to remind the allied forces through the channel of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the Strategic Science Corps to try to save the soldiers who landed on Omaha Beach during this battle.

　The collection of these few chapters has not increased much, and it has dropped a little. It seems that the war plot is not well written.

　　But today I finished writing this paragraph, and the author also breathed a sigh of relief. Let's take a look at what's written later.
