"Boom!" With a deafening roar, the battleship's cannons opened fire.

The shells flew towards the distance as fast as lightning, and their destination was a small island thirty kilometers away from them.

Although Commander Xiao and his companions could not witness the scene on the island with their own eyes, just by looking at the density of the bombardment and the huge caliber of the battleship's artillery, they could imagine that the island was probably in chaos at this time.

If there were really troops stationed on the island, Commander Xiao didn't even dare to think about what kind of troops would be needed to withstand such fierce artillery fire.

Because the target of this attack is fixed and the relevant parameters are relatively stable, with the help of various precision computing instruments, the accuracy of the battleship's artillery fire is still quite guaranteed.

Although the bombardment was now being carried out thirty kilometers away from the target, the battleship's attack still lasted a full thirty minutes.

The ship's automatic loading device has replenished ammunition many times, and the naval soldiers have been busy constantly moving the shells from the ammunition depot to the conveyor.

The transport device will accurately deliver the shells to the bottom of the gun position, and the soldiers in the gun position will place the shells one by one in the automatic loading port to ensure that each shell can be fired smoothly.

They were already familiar with this process. After all, they had gone through countless actual artillery training in Xincheng.

In the distant sky, five airships were slowly approaching this side.

As the distance got closer, it could be seen that two gliders were hanging from the bottom of each airship.

These gliders were used to test air defense preparations. They were all wooden gliders urgently produced by the mainland.

While in Neustadt, the fleet's air defense training often used specially produced small gliders.

Xincheng's gliders are not only equipped with advanced engine equipment, but are also small and flexible, able to quickly fly through the air, posing a great challenge to the fleet's air defense training.

However, here, due to limited conditions, the mainland could only temporarily produce a batch of wooden gliders without engines installed.

Therefore, in order to make this test closer to real combat conditions, they had to make corresponding adjustments to the drop height.

When these gliders appeared, the destroyers below and the four ships belonging to the mainland immediately went into high alert. The crew kept a close eye on the ten small black dots slowly flying in the sky, waiting to shoot them down as soon as they came into attack range.

Xincheng's destroyers opened fire first. Due to the small size and wooden structure of the gliders, the radar could not scan them at this time. Therefore, many parameters needed to be adjusted manually, which was a great test of the basic abilities of every soldier.

The anti-aircraft guns on the destroyers fired fiercely into the sky. First, one destroyer opened fire, and soon after, as the glider in the sky gradually approached, the second and third destroyers opened fire in turn.

With only three destroyers and the anti-aircraft firepower of two mainland ships, all ten wooden gliders were successfully shot down. Wu Wu witnessed this scene from the ship and felt a little regretful.

Because this type of glider without an engine cannot effectively test the fleet's anti-aircraft firepower, there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, this military exercise was rather hasty, and it was very difficult to temporarily produce ten gliders.

After all the gliders in the sky were shot down, Wu Wu immediately gave orders for the ships to move forward and slowly approach the island.

At the same time, two destroyers remained in the rear to provide cover, while the other ships dispersed to form an encirclement.

Following the battleship, the distance soon approached 15 kilometers. The destroyers at this distance also began to open fire, and the soldiers on the four warships sent by the organization could only watch helplessly, as this distance was beyond their range.

The salvo lasted more than 10 minutes, with hundreds of shells pouring onto the island.

Under the cover of artillery shells, two Xincheng destroyers escorted two landing ships and began to approach the island.

When they approached to 5 kilometers, the destroyers began to disperse and attack the fortresses and protruding buildings on the island.

Of course, there are no real forts or buildings on the island, just targets painted on the rocks.

Among the landing ships, one of them opened its rear hatch, and four speedboats rushed out of the landing ship, carrying fully armed soldiers.

During the speedboat landing, the battleships in the rear stopped attacking and quickly approached the island, while the two covering destroyers bombarded the island from both sides from time to time to provide cover for the speedboats to transport soldiers to land.

Soon, several speedboats arrived at the island. The soldiers got off the boats and formed an attack formation, covering each other as they advanced toward the island. Their mission was to occupy the beachhead, eliminate the "enemy", and prepare for the construction of a simple dock and the landing of tanks and vehicles.

It was at this time that the organization's four warships began shelling, and stopped after a few shots because the soldiers had already occupied the beachhead.

The two landing ships began to approach the island.

The landing ship opened the hatch in front of the bow, then unloaded the pontoon bridge, and the engineers on the ship assembled the unloaded pontoon bridge together.

One end of the pontoon bridge was firmly fixed on the beach of the island, and the other end was connected to the bow exit of the landing ship. The two pontoon bridges were quickly built, and tanks and armored vehicles began to land along the pontoon bridges, eventually completing the occupation of the island.

The exercise ended with the landing of armored vehicles.

Wu Wu, Commander Xiao and others also landed on the island in the speedboat on the battleship. They came to check the results of the exercise.

A large number of sandbags were placed on the island in advance in the past two days, and some pigs, chickens and other animals were also placed on the positions to simulate the consequences of enemy soldiers being attacked in their positions.

Commander Xiao and others on the ship were mentally prepared for the effect of the attack, but what they saw after landing on the island was still beyond their imagination.

The rocks on the island were almost flattened, and the fortresses marked with paint were also blown flat, leaving almost no trace of paint, and the temporary sandbag positions disappeared without a trace.

While walking on the battlefield, you can occasionally see scattered body tissues of animals such as pigs and chickens.

Commander Xiao couldn't help but marvel at the powerful attack power of the Xincheng Fleet. At this moment, he thought that it would not be long before he would also own this battleship. By then, the strength of the mainland navy would be greatly enhanced.

The military photographers who landed on the island with them began to record the results of the battle, photographing every position and every artillery point. These would be archived and submitted in the future.
