This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 762 Fierce battle on Shazhou Island!

  A light blue plume pierced the silent night sky, and two huge transport planes appeared above Shazhou Island.

  This island is the second largest natural island in the southern waters. It is famous for its vast golden sandy beaches. There are 70,000 people living on a land of about 400 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a little more than 1% of the population of half of Singapore in reality.

  Different from the narrow and crowded artificial islands like the circular island, this place is somewhat similar to the North Island and Anle Island. The island still retains many tropical natural landscapes.

  Most of the residents on the island live on the relatively high south side, and modern buildings with two or three floors are scattered on both sides of the road around the island.

  Because there is no airport on the island, the Burning Corps can only land on the sea outside the island.

  The plasma plume ejected from the engine was close to the sea surface, and the scorched waves emitted a wisp of white mist.

The door of the engine room opened downwards, and a landing craft made of steel slid along the rails to the door of the engine room. Twelve players in exoskeletons were waiting on the landing craft. A 12mm caliber machine gun and A coaxial 60mm grenade launcher.

  The former is mainly used to deal with light targets on the sea surface, while the latter is specially designed for underwater soft targets such as "frogmen".

  The 60mm underwater grenade equipped with a pressure sensor uses metal hydrogen charge, which will explode at a very high detonation speed after approaching the target, and rely on shock waves to kill nearby targets.

   This landing craft is mainly designed for landing battles in the North Island and Haiya Province. Therefore, in addition to launching underwater grenades, the 60mm grenade launcher can also launch general-purpose fragmentation grenades to suppress ground targets.

  Although the chairman, CEO and factory director of Goblin Technology is obsessed with selling junk on the northern line, it is clear that the main business of Goblin Technology has not been abandoned because of this.

  As the target area gradually approached, the player sitting in the cockpit shouted in the communication channel.

   "...The target is approaching, one minute to prepare!"

   "Thirty seconds."

   "Ten seconds!"

"…Set off!"

  With a clear "click", the rope pulling the landing craft was released, and the two Overlord transport planes simultaneously dropped the landing craft hanging on the hatch door.

   Immediately afterwards, the landing craft were put down one by one like dumplings, and in the blink of an eye there were twenty more speedboats armed to the teeth on the rough sea.

  The speedboats were divided into two teams, heading towards the north and south sides of Shazhou Island respectively.

   Meanwhile, on the north side of the island, disarmed Shazhou Island soldiers were digging a beachhead with a group of guards wearing exoskeletons.

  Half an hour ago, they had received an early warning from Anle Island.

  A destroyer and a landing ship were coming from the direction of the North Island. From the menacing posture of those guys, it was obvious that they were not here to negotiate with them. The person sitting on the landing ship might not be a mutant.

   I heard that in the far south of Jinchuan Province, being caught by mutants is no joke, both men and women will be eaten.

   And eat it differently.

  So even though they were on opposite sides not long ago, now they have to stand on the same front for their relatives, friends and family members.

  Looking at a row of landing craft approaching straight in the distance, a trace of panic subconsciously appeared in the eyes of everyone, but soon someone noticed the flashing signal lights on the landing craft.

   "It's the alliance's reinforcements!" A trace of surprise was written on a soldier's face.

  Standing beside him, the guards not far away were the same. After confirming the frequency of the signal light, they all showed expressions of being saved.

  Ten landing craft rushed directly to the beach. Players wearing exoskeletons jumped off the landing craft one after another. Two strength players stayed behind and pulled the stranded landing craft ashore.

  The thickness of the steel plates on both sides of the landing craft is more than 15 mm, and the two layers are stacked together to be 30 mm, which can even block the bullets of some large-caliber machine guns.

   Coupled with the fixed weapons on the landing craft, the battery is removed and it is an excellent bunker.

   In addition, the landing craft also contains ammunition supplies and some folding bags for sand and gravel.

   Fang Chang, who walked to the shore, went straight to the front of a group of armed men, looked around at them, and briefly introduced himself.

   "Fang Chang, Burning Corps, who is in charge here?"

"I."

  A man wearing a military exoskeleton steps out. At his waist is a federal-issue assault rifle, but the body armor inside the exoskeleton is police style.

   "Du Men, the director of the Shazhou Island Security Bureau, and the army of the new Shazhou Island authority...uh, the commander."

  Probably because he just got this set of equipment not long ago, it is obvious that he has not fully adapted to the use of the military exoskeleton on his body.

  Although it was a serious occasion, the corners of Fang Chang's mouth twitched uncontrollably when he heard the word "commander".

   There are only about 200 people standing here, and it is estimated that there are 400 to 500 people who are not here. If you put it on the northern line, you can make up half a thousand people, and I am afraid that even two caves cannot be filled.

   But then again, this thing still depends on who you compare it with.

If these four or five hundred people fight with the enterprise's mountain battalion or the legion's thousand-man team, it's probably not enough, but if they fight with the Xilan Empire's expeditionary force, it shouldn't be a problem to drive the latter's ten-thousand-man team away. of.

  Of course, changing to the Gray Wolf Army or the two warlords on the border of King Gallon Port is another matter.

  Du Men himself seemed to feel a little ashamed, so he gave a dry cough and took the initiative to hand over the command.

"Let me put it bluntly. We don't have much chance to fight here. The exercise is just a formality. The defense is mainly the job of the navy... The command may have to trouble you veterans. If there is anything that needs to be coordinated, just tell us. gone."

   "A wise choice." Fang Chang didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly took out a tablet and threw it into his hand.

  On the tablet is the battle plan.

   In response to the two possible action plans that Chalas may take, the Army Staff of the Union has prepared a prepared response plan.

   After taking it, Du Men glanced at it, with a surprised expression on his face.

   "This is... a battle plan? You already have a premonition of today's events?"

  The tablet shows not only the map of Shazhou Island, but also the positions deployed in various regions and the assigned troops.

   This is not like a job that can be completed within two hours, and the details of the content will take two or three days to prepare.

  Looking at the surprised allies, Fang Chang said with a faint smile.

"We are used to rehearsing situations that have not happened, and then make a plan and submit it to the staff, and then finalize the draft action and submit it to Mr. Manager for signature. Once the situation we imagined happens, the draft action will take effect immediately, and our troops will be in Act immediately while routinely reporting, rather than waiting for the manager’s reply before making the next step.”

   This is actually a relatively routine operation.

As for unexpected situations, such as the loss of soldiers from the Xilan Empire, he will respond according to the relevant provisions in the "Player Handbook" and "Alliance Constitution", and decide whether to fight back, and how much to fight back Stop it.

  The Shazhou Island swinging on both sides has been a potential powder keg since the beginning of the split of the Federation. Except for the residents on the Shazhou Island who can’t see it, even the keyboard masters on the endpoint cloud of Ideal City can see it.

   I'm afraid not only they have made a defensive plan, but Chalas has already considered the situation that the alliance will make a move, and has already made two-handed preparations.

  Currently, two Thunder fighter jets are searching northward, testing the firepower of enemy destroyers, and at the same time investigating the possible ambush judged by the South China Sea Alliance Navy.

  Seeing the entire battle plan from beginning to end, Du Men immediately brought his men into action.

   At the same time, on the south side of Shazhou Island, the company led by Lao Bai also landed on the island.

  However, due to the large number of houses distributed on the south side of the island, they did not rush the landing craft directly to the beach, but landed directly from the pier to the shore.

   Lao Bai, who went ashore like Fang Chang, informed the guards who were consolidating the defense on the south bank of the battle plan.

  Looking at the Union soldiers who took over the defense task, the guards on the South Bank looked at each other in blank dismay.

   “…seems like there’s nothing going on without us?”

  A bearded guard stubbed out his cigarette **** and stuffed it into a garbage bag in his pocket, looking blankly at the soldiers who were busy consolidating their positions.

  He always has an illusion.

  Compared with these guys, the well-equipped self is more like a civilian.

   Lao Bai, who was directing the work, happened to hear his words, and then smiled and said to him.

   "What are you talking about, there are still a lot of things you need to do, don't think about throwing everything to us."

   Paused, Lao Bai continued.

   "Take your family to take refuge now, and remember to stay away from the coastline. In two hours, we will airdrop a batch of supplies to the center of the island to help you build a temporary camp. We will notify you to go home when everything is safe."

  The guard who received the task immediately straightened his back and gave a substandard alliance military salute.

"yes!"

   Seeing his funny look, Lao Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

   "Right, cheer up! Now that you have mustered up the courage to come here, don't give up halfway, and finish what you need to do."

  The guard took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, but there was still a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.

  Seeing that the chief from the alliance was about to turn around and leave, he couldn't help calling out to stop him.

   "Wait, can I ask a question? I don't understand...Since you have prepared so well, you can actually blow Charas away from here before our uprising. Why do you have to wait until today?"

  Old Bai grinned.

  Other players may not know it, but he does know that Fang Chang did make a similar plan—

   That is, before Charas consolidated the defense of Shazhou Island, the airport on the circular island was used as a springboard to occupy Shazhou Island, thereby increasing the number of islands controlled by the South China Sea Alliance from 4 to 5.

  Compared to the circular island of only 30 square kilometers, Shazhou Island, which is relatively flat, has a smaller population density, and is located closer to the middle of the southern waters, is obviously more suitable as the alliance's air force base in the southern waters.

  In fact, the South China Sea Alliance authorities also expected this. Commander Li even suggested that they could take the risk of sending a fleet to provide cover for the troops landing on the island.

  This plan has been submitted to the Alliance Staff Department, and the Staff Department has even made a combat plan and an execution plan, but unfortunately it has not been approved by the manager.

"...imposed equality is not equality, and it's okay if you don't understand, and I don't understand everything, but I believe our steward can lead us to end the wasteland, just as we believe he can lead us to stop the Bonechewers and Like a wave."

  Old Bai shook his shoulder and let go.

   "Go do your job, like us."

  While speaking, there was a thunderous explosion from the calm sea, a series of dense tracers formed a curve in the air, swung towards the sky like a long whip, and then burst into two **** of fire.

   A moment later, the voice of the Goblin Corps pilot came from the communication channel.

   "...This is Fengqing, the enemy destroyer's firepower network is too dense! Our missiles can't break through their point defense system..."

  The federal navy was established with the legion as an imaginary enemy, so naturally it wouldn't be so stupid that it didn't even have an air defense system.

   What's more, the main purpose of destroyers is anti-submarine and aviation. The reason why Chalas sent destroyers to **** the landing ship is because of the alliance's "air superiority" and General Li Minghui's submarine.

  But I didn’t expect these guys to even have an anti-aircraft Phalanx...

  Old Bai frowned slightly.

   And at this moment, new news came from the Southern Alliance Command.

"...The enemy landing ship and escorting destroyer have approached 20 nautical miles south of you. We have searched the sonar and radar signals of 27 ships within a radius of 150 nautical miles near Shazhou Island...We can't confirm which coordinates are valid coordinates, can you trouble me? Is your air force going to take a look?"

  27 coordinates!

  Span 150 nautical miles!

  Old Bai said in a low voice with a slightly dignified expression.

   "...I have told our air force to ask your submarines to continue searching the nearby waters!"

  The South China Sea Alliance operator replied immediately.

"OK!"

  Due to the special circumstances of the low-Earth orbit, there are no strategic satellites on the wasteland, and even if there are strategic satellites, it is not easy to lock the precise position of a fleet in the vast sea.

  After contacting the Goblin Corps, Lao Bai immediately switched to the team voice channel and informed all his teammates of the situation on the battlefield.

   "The enemy is going to attack our southern position! Everyone is ready to fight!"

   There was a majestic response from the communication channel.

"yes!"

  The 120-man company was divided into three platoons, and a triangular defensive fulcrum was deployed along the buildings on the south side of the island.

   And at the same time, returning to the silent sea, two huge ships emerged.

  According to the information provided by the South China Sea Alliance, that is the destroyer Reef of the Beidao Navy!

The point defense system at the bow and stern of the battleship can pour a dense array of mass bombs weighing 100g at a limit rate of fire of tens of thousands of rounds per minute, which is equivalent to projecting a full bomb into the air in just one minute. A ton of working fluid!

  The firepower network composed of these things, let alone missiles and drones, I am afraid that even a sufficient number of shells can intercept it!

  In addition to the air-to-air point defense system, the reef chaser is also equipped with torpedoes, missile launchers, and a 150mm naval gun.

  If this thing is allowed to approach the shore, the consequences will be disastrous!

  However, the "asymmetry" on the wasteland is mutual, which is the biggest difference between the wasteland and the real world.

  The federal navy, which has been developed for more than 150 years, is certainly powerful, but the alliance's land-based weapons are not vegetarian.

  The "Dragon" missile developed by Jushi Military Industry has been improved by the researchers of No. 70 Vault, and has evolved into a land-launched "ultra-long range anti-ship version" - "Sea Dragon"!

   Not long after the "Thunder" fighter plane failed to break through the firepower network, at the end of the floating airport outside the circular island, a boxy missile launcher raised its huge forehead.

  As the launch order was issued, a stream of white smoke broke through the dust cover and rushed into the sky, pushing a silver-white missile through the dense dark clouds.

  The missile was like a sharp dagger. After drawing a parabolic trajectory, it stabbed impartially at the "Reef", which was actively exposed to the radar of the Alliance and the South China Sea Alliance as a "bait".

  The point defense system of the Reef played a role without any suspense, and the dense rain of bullets poured out from the raised barrel, like a dense swarm of bees, pounced on the "Sea Dragon" falling from the sky!

  The dazzling light exploded in the air, but it was not the light of Hai Long's martyrdom explosion, but the detonation of the mother warhead that was actively triggered after detecting the approach of a high-speed object!

  In the bridge behind the reef, the pupils of the man wearing the epaulette cap shrank sharply. He had a premonition that something was wrong when the missile exploded.

   Their radars have detected no enemy ships in the nearby waters!

   This is a land-launched missile!

   At the same time, there was only a burst of exclamation and cursing from the row of terminals not far in front of him.

   "Radar assembly overloaded! Transmitter not working!"

   "Unable to lock the position of the enemy aircraft!"

   "Sonar malfunctioning! Damn it!"

   "It's EMP! Quickly notify the repair team to troubleshoot!"

"how long it takes?!"

   "The damage is not serious...it should be fixed in five minutes!"

"five minutes?!"

  The destroyer Reef has an "anti-strong electromagnetic pulse device", but it needs to turn off the active phased array radar and sonar system, and enter a state of radio silence to turn it on.

  However, their previous attention was entirely on the two planes that were ready to go at a touch and the submarine lurking somewhere, and they did not expect the Alliance to make this move at all.

   Only relying on passive anti-electromagnetic pulse components is obviously not enough to completely shield the direct strike of this strategic-level EMP weapon.

  Spear and shield are always relative concepts, and there is no defense that is absolutely impenetrable.

  The failure of sonar and radar is undoubtedly equivalent to blinding two eyes for the destroyer Reef.

  Although the point defense system on the destroyer has two sets of identification equipment, it can use optical lenses to complete the visual identification and locking of flying objects without relying on radar, but the interception efficiency is definitely not as good as that of radar.

   And the most critical thing is the sonar system...

  The three attack submarines are the South China Sea Alliance's biggest hole card!

   Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the captain had a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly looked at the operator of the main gun area and asked.

   "What about the fire control system?"

   "Temporarily...no fault found!" The operator of the main artillery area sitting in front of the terminal swallowed and replied nervously.

  Hearing this answer, the captain didn't get any comfort in his heart, and at this moment, the correspondent sitting in front of the radio suddenly shouted.

   "Sir! The command sent us a request to bombard the coastline! The front landing ship will drop the landing craft in thirty seconds!"

  The captain was shocked when he heard the words, and his eyes widened.

   "Are they crazy?! There are residents of Shazhou Island!"

The battle plan did mention that the landing troops arrived at Shazhou Island, and even mentioned in detail that he would use the "rebel fleet" as a bait to lure out of Anle Island, and cooperate with the main fleet ambushing in the nearby waters to sink it. There was no mention in the plan that he was asked to bomb his own people!

  Although what happened on Shazhou Island made him very angry, it was the guards who made the trouble, and the survivors living on Shazhou Island were innocent.

   At least in his opinion, those people are his compatriots!

  The correspondent reported the situation to the headquarters, and after receiving a reply, he looked at the captain hesitantly.

   "The command said...they are traitors and want us to fire immediately."

   There is no time to hesitate.

  The captain gritted his teeth and looked at the artillery operator sitting aside.

   "...aim for the coastline! Avoid urban areas and fire!"

  The artillery operator was stunned for a moment, but still took orders.

"yes!"

As the order was issued, the 150mm naval gun on the destroyer Reef slowly raised its barrel, and fired a test-fired corrective ammunition towards the south bank of Shazhou Island, and then continued to unleash ferocious artillery fire .

Hearing the deafening sound of the cannon, Lao Bai, who was squatting in the city building, took a deep breath, stared at the heavy landing craft that were getting closer and closer to the sea with the binoculars in his hand, and issued a battle command on the communication channel. The command.

  "All teammates get ready! Remove the insurance! Put our enemy on the shore first, and then hit me hard!"

   Pausing for a moment, he switched the communication channel to Brother Ji again, and said in a deep voice.

"The EMP was successfully detonated... The enemy ship did not respond to our fighter plane's flyby above the clouds, and the radar system is suspected to be paralyzed. If the analysis by the engineers of No. 70 shelter is reliable, their sonar system is probably not good enough. Next, it's up to you Let's do it."

   A hearty answer came from the communication channel.

"receive!"

  At this moment on the rough sea, more than 30 landing craft have approached the shoal on the south side of Shazhou Island under the cover of artillery fire, and rushed straight to the beach.

  As a cockpit door opened, a group of dark green-skinned mutants roared and rushed to the shore, with a permeating green light shining in pairs of amber pupils.

  They held large-caliber rifles or even machine guns in their hands, wore modified exoskeletons, and hung thick bulletproof steel plates on their chests. There were even vomit remains hanging on the steel plates.

   Obviously this is the first time they have been on a boat, and there is a high probability that this will be the only time in their lives.

  After seeing that the opponent was a mutant, and there was a high probability that it was a mutant transferred from the northern line, the players squatting in the city no longer had the slightest bit of kindness in their eyes, and became fierce one after another.

   "Fire—!"

   Following that roar, the dark windows were suddenly lit up by the flames from the heavy machine guns.

  A streak of tracers rushed towards the beach like raindrops, colliding with the mutant who rushed to the beach.

The splattered blood dyed the beach red, but after all these mutants had the upper hand in numbers, there were nearly a thousand people stuffed into more than 30 heavy landing craft, and the heads scattered on the beach were like Cockroaches crawling all over the place.

   Not only that, Charas obviously used North Island's industrial equipment to make some improvements to these mutants, and even made full-protection exoskeletons and mutant-specific assault rifles for them.

  The mutants who landed on the island were divided into ten teams, and like a big bowl, they rushed to the streets distributed along the coastline, and the boiling flames of war were burning along the outline of the city!

  At the same time, the Reef, which was bombing the coastline, also stopped firing, as planned to guard against the possible appearance of the main South China Sea Alliance fleet or submarine.

   Then to Chalas' surprise, the South Sea Alliance fleet did not appear.

After the coalition sent ground troops to Shazhou Island, it seems that they only conducted a round of testing of the Reef with aircraft, and then fired a land-based missile, which ended all naval offensives, and even the Reef was dispatched to the sandbar by them. The island's ground troops did not respond to shelling.

  Honestly, this is unnatural!

  North Island Command.

   Looking down at the fierce battlefield through the drone, Charas cursed.

   "...What the **** is Zhang Ruowen doing! None of the **** shells landed in the city!"

  Zhang Ruowen is the captain of the Reef.

  The landing battle has been going on for more than ten minutes, and more than half of the thousand mutants who landed on the island have been killed or injured. It was only then that he recalled that the round of shelling just now had blown up a lonesome.

  The defensive troops stationed in the urban area suffered almost no losses, at most, the shells damaged a few roads.

  Now the landing force is blocked, and the main fleet of the South China Sea Alliance has not been drawn out, and his fleet ambushed in the nearby waters is also ambush.

   The staff officer standing beside Charas said in a low voice.

   "The current strength on Shazhou Island may not be enough to occupy the entire island. The Alliance has deployed a defense force on the northern beach... If the decoy operation fails, I suggest that the Reef be withdrawn first."

  Charas said with a dark face.

   "Our battle is not yet lost."

  The staff officer nodded and said.

   "Indeed, but if we continue to wait, there will be no better results, especially since An Le Island already knows that our main fleet is not in the North Island..."

  Hearing the second half of the sentence, Chalas quickly calmed down.

really.

  The biggest risk of the whole plan is not the possible loss of a destroyer, but the risk of a defense vacuum in the North Island.

   Folding his arms in front of his chest, he tapped his arm twice with his index finger, and immediately looked at the correspondent to give an order.

   "Let the Reef withdraw...forget it, let their captain listen to the phone, and give me the headset! I'll talk to that idiot myself!"

   As he spoke, he grabbed the correspondent's headset and put it on his own head.

   "What are you doing! I asked you to bomb the city of Shazhou Island, and you smashed the shells in some place that doesn't shit!"

   No response in comm channel.

   That guy seemed to know he was wrong, and he was too ashamed to speak.

   After scolding his subordinates, Charas took two breaths, calmed down and continued.

  "...I don't care what ideas and excuses you have, just because of your negligence, we missed a good opportunity to defeat our opponent in one fell swoop! Get out now!"

  However, what he didn't expect was that a strange voice suddenly came from the communication channel that had been silent for a long time.

   "They're not coming back."

  Charas blurted out with a conditioned reflex all over his body.

   "Who the **** are you?!"

  The person on the other side of the communication channel laughed, and readily reported his family name.

   "Midnight Killing Chicken Jungle Corps Commander! Anyway, thank you for this ship."

  Chalas: "???"
