Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Following the command of the flagship commander, the main guns on dozens of warships simultaneously emitted a deafening roar!

Dazzling flames spurted out of the muzzle, and the heavy shells roared and hit the distant Yugoslav coastline with the force of thunder.

For a moment, the sea was filled with the rumbling of cannons and smoke.

127mm high-explosive grenades poured down on the designated landing beach like hail, raising a cloud of dust and flames.

Each shell that landed created a massive crater in the ground, shattering the surrounding beach, trees, and possible fortifications.

The Yugoslav coastline instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire under the intensive artillery fire of the Eagle Sauce Fleet.

Looking down from the sky, the entire landing area seemed to be experiencing a violent earthquake and volcanic eruption.

The shock wave generated by the explosion even reached the sea surface dozens of kilometers away, causing the American warships to feel a slight vibration.

Burning trees, collapsed bunkers, flying mud and rocks formed a horrific apocalyptic scene.

The Eagle Sauce's bombardment lasted for a full hour, and tens of thousands of shells turned the originally peaceful coastline into a scorched earth.

Under such fierce artillery preparation, any defensive forces exposed on the beachhead will be completely destroyed, and there will be no possibility of survival.

Admiral Harris stood on the bridge, observing the effects of the artillery fire in the distance through a high-powered telescope, with a satisfied smile on his face.

In his view, after such a thorough artillery preparation, any Yugoslav defenses on the beachhead would no longer exist.

His landing force would be able to easily capture the beachhead and advance rapidly inland as if it were no man's land.

"See, Hansen?" he said to the first mate beside him, his tone full of arrogance. "This is the true strength of the Eagle Navy! Nothing can stop our artillery fire! No matter how powerful the Dragon Kingdom's aircraft are, they can't compete with us at sea!"

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen silently looked at the hellish coast in the distance, but his heart was still filled with uneasiness.

He had a feeling things wouldn't be that simple. Since Dragon Country had dared to intervene directly and displayed such a formidable air power, they couldn't have failed to anticipate such retaliatory action from the Eagle Sauce. They must have a backup plan.

The shelling finally died down.

The smoke and dust that filled the air above the beach began to slowly dissipate, revealing a coastline that had been ravaged beyond recognition by artillery fire.

The originally lush vegetation has disappeared, replaced by a scorched land with potholes and no grass.

Some of the remaining buildings were emitting black smoke and were crumbling.

"Artillery preparation complete!" the flagship commander reported. "According to drone reconnaissance feedback, there are no obvious signs of life or organized resistance in the target area!"

"Excellent!" Admiral Harris waved his hand and issued the final order, "Order the first echelon of landing troops to begin the assault! The goal is to occupy 'Alpha' and 'Beta' beaches and establish a solid bridgehead!"

As the order was issued, the American Marines and Army soldiers, who had already assembled and stood by on amphibious assault ships and landing ships, began to board various types of landing craft.

The LCAC air-cushion landing craft made a huge roar, like a monster flying close to the sea surface, carrying M1A1 main battle tanks and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, rushing towards the beach at high speed.

These air-cushion landing craft are extremely fast and can maneuver flexibly in shallow waters and complex terrain. They are powerful weapons for modern amphibious landing operations.

On both sides and behind it are dozens of LARC-V amphibious cargo vehicles and AAV-7 amphibious assault vehicles.

These vehicles can drive out directly from the dock of the landing ship, sail on the sea with their own floating ability, and deliver large numbers of infantry and light equipment directly to the beach.

The larger landing craft universal (LCU) and landing craft mechanized (LCM), carrying more heavy equipment and logistical supplies, moved steadily towards the target area.

Looking down from the air, the entire sea surface was densely covered with landing craft of various types. They were like arrows shot from a bow, dragging white waves, forming several huge arrow-shaped attack formations, and launched a desperate attack on the Yugoslav coastline.

Hundreds of transport ships and landing craft, carrying tens of thousands of fully armed American soldiers, as well as hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles and various support vehicles, formed a magnificent and spectacular picture of beach landing.

The roar of engines on the sea, the shouts of soldiers, and the commands constantly coming from the flagship, intertwined together to form a symphony of war full of iron, blood, and killing.

The soldiers on each landing craft had solemn expressions and held their weapons tightly, knowing that they were about to set foot on an unfamiliar land and face an unknown enemy.

Although the previous artillery preparation was extremely fierce, no one dared to take it lightly.

The cruelty of war lies in the fact that even the seemingly safest actions may be potentially deadly.

The first LCACs were approaching the beach, stirring up a huge cloud of water and dust, their massive fans making a deafening noise.

As they rushed onto the beach and lowered the front hatches, M1A1 main battle tanks and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles roared out and quickly deployed on the beach, forming the first line of attack defense.

Following closely behind were the AAV-7 amphibious assault vehicles, which acted like mobile fortresses, transporting the Marines directly to the beachhead.

The Marines quickly jumped out of their vehicles, spread out in battle formation, and began searching inland, while being alert to any possible resistance.

On the sea, more landing craft were approaching the beach. For a moment, the entire "Alpha" and "Beta" beaches were filled with American soldiers and equipment.

The American flag was hoisted on the smoke-filled beach, as if to declare the invincible military power of the Eagle Sauce.

Admiral Harris stood on the bridge, watching all this with satisfaction through a telescope.

The first wave of landing troops had successfully occupied the beachhead without encountering any decent resistance.

This seemed to confirm his judgment - under such fierce artillery preparation, Yugoslavia's coastal defense forces had long been wiped out.

"Order the follow-up troops to speed up the landing!" Admiral Harris said with great enthusiasm, "I want to move the headquarters to the shore before dark!"

Victory seemed within reach.

All the setbacks and humiliations suffered in the previous air battles seemed to be washed away by this glorious landing victory.

The great feat that General MacArthur failed to accomplish on the European battlefield will be accomplished by Admiral Harris on this beach in the Adriatic Sea!
