District 9

Chapter 1997 Arriving at the Cliff

After the Eighth District Air Force conducted a round of bombings on Salt Island, many of the heavy firepower visible to the naked eye on the main island had been completely destroyed.

On the island, beacon smoke is everywhere and war is raging.

"Weng!"

On the frontal battlefield, two small frigates sounded a dull and melodious whistle, which was the signal for attack.

"Bang bang bang...!"

The main guns and rocket launchers on the two small frigates began to carry out covering strikes on the front port. Wherever the shells landed, there was a sea of ​​fire.

On the landing ship, the captain shouted solemnly: "Start the war!"

"Weng!"

The dull whistle sounded again. After the landing ship was launched, under the cover of artillery fire from two small frigates, it went straight into the port in front of the enemy.

Nearly five minutes after the gunfire sounded, the landing ship's huge retractable deck landed on the island's land with a bang.

A high-pitched charge horn sounded, and Wang Tianhui stood on the top deck, waving his hands and giving an order: "Armored troops landed, covering the charge of infantry combat units, the war has begun!"

Tanks and armored vehicles, one after another, rushed down the deck with thick smoke and began a group charge to land on the island.

Wang Tianhui followed the large troops to the lowest deck and contacted Qin Yu immediately: "Report to the division commander that we have landed on the island."

"Attack according to the original plan." Qin Yu replied concisely.

"Yes!" Wang Tianhui was about to hang up the phone when he heard the sound.

"Xiao Hui...!" Qin Yu suddenly shouted.

Wang Tianhui was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong, teacher?"

Qin Yu paused, and then said with a trembling voice: "Be careful... pay attention to safety."

Wang Tianhui blinked in confusion, then nodded immediately and said, "I understand, Brother Yu!"

The two of them didn't say much, but they contained a lot of meaning. Qin Yu has never spoken to Wang Tianhui in this tone since he became a teacher. Even though he had a heart of steel, after Ou Xiaobin died, he felt uneasy and anxious.

After the call ended, Wang Tianhui led a large force and began to attack the garrison on the island head-on.

After the general attack on Salt Island began, the large frigates cruising near the cliffs on the west side of the main island also began to launch.

In the captain's room, Qin Yu stood in the center with his hands behind his back, looking at the silent and deserted cliff through the window.

The cliff on this side is almost vertical, about seventy meters high. From the perspective of the ship's hull, it is a natural desert terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But it is precisely because of this that there are relatively few defenders here, and once they capture this place, the Sichuan soldiers can build positions on the spot and slowly advance forward with high and low forces. To put it simply, the capture of this place means that Salt Island has been captured.

The frigate moved forward, and the captain calmly ordered: "Carry out an underwater scan."

"yes!"

The reconnaissance officer responded, led a technical team of more than 20 people, turned on the ship-borne underwater detection radar, and began to scan this side of the cliff.

A large number of small diving detectors were also launched from the bottom of the ship and spread forward from the sea water on their own.

Five minutes later, the officer from the investigation department saluted and shouted: "Report, minefield found in the triangle area ahead!"

"Clear the platoon." The captain gave the order again.

"Clear the platoon!" the investigation officer shouted over the walkie-talkie.

In the combat cabin at the bottom of the battleship, twenty soldiers sat in the cabin seats.

"According to the radar detection feedback map, clear the minefield in the triangle area!" the officer shouted.

Ten seconds later, more than 20 soldiers, with the analysis and cooperation of the technical team, the main control soldier pressed the fire button.

Under the water, the gun heads of ten mine-clearing machines poked out of the grooves of the ship's hull. After slowly extending, they began to fire wildly.

"Puff puff……!"

Underwater bubbles surged wildly, and ten machine guns raised their projectile nets, firing accurately at the triangular area ahead.

"Bang bang bang bang...!"

On the upper surface of the water, dense explosions sounded, water columns rose into the sky one by one, and the sea water seemed to be boiling.

In less than a minute, the minefield in the triangular area was completely cleared. The frigate continued to move forward without slowing down, and in the blink of an eye it was about a hundred meters away from the cliff.

"Stay where you are and extend the deck." The captain gave the order again.

The main ship slowed down and stopped in place. The soldiers who had been waiting on the deck for a long time pushed open the guardrails on both sides and extended the first deck of the main ship more than 20 meters outward.

"Stand by on deck!" Xiaobai waved his hand and shouted.

A large number of soldiers rushed out of the ship's cabin and came to the deck. Some soldiers dragged out twenty machines the size of square cargo boxes from the storage warehouse.

The shape of this machine is rather peculiar. The main body is square, but there is a mortar-sized barrel welded directly above it, and a high-power engine is installed in the steel frame below.

"Drag to the designated location!" Xiaobai shouted.

The soldiers pushed twenty engines to the front of the deck, squatted down, and turned on this strange-looking device.

"Shoot!" Xiaobai waved his hands and shouted.

Twenty machines made a dull sound, and the barrel exploded and shot out a steel drill as thick as a child's arm, flying straight towards the cliff.

"Bang bang bang...!"

There was a dense sound, and the steel drill was neatly stuck on the cliff wall. A large amount of stone dust fell down. The position of the steel drill was only about half a meter away from the top of the cliff.

Iron ropes were tied to the tails of the steel drills, and they were connected diagonally from the top of the cliff to the frigate deck.

This is a "large nail gun" specially developed by the Sichuan government for military industrial units in order to land on the island. The purpose is to quickly connect to the wall and create a passage for the soldiers to "fly up".

Twenty ropes were connected, and the high-power engine started turning.

"One regiment and one battalion, prepare to land on the cliff!" Xiaobai roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, half of the soldiers in the battalion, wearing heavy and clumsy explosion-proof combat uniforms, lined up next to the machine, and used the locks on their waists to lock the twitching ropes.

Xiaobai held the walkie-talkie and shouted concisely: "Report to the division commander, we are ready to land on the cliff!"

Qin Yu pondered for a long time and replied concisely: "The attack is allowed."

Xiaobai heard the sound and immediately waved his hands and shouted: "Fuck me!"

"Must win!"

The soldiers at the front of the queue shouted in unison and immediately pressed the rope retract button on the machine.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"

Twenty soldiers rose into the air and flew straight from the deck to the cliff.

"Next round, go!" the battalion commander waved his hand and shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, another twenty soldiers rose into the air. After repeating this for ten rounds, all 200 soldiers were hanging on the cliff in less than a minute.

The commander of the first company in charge ordered the soldiers at the top to use chisels to smash out leverage points on the cliff, and then issued the final combat order: "All of the first company, untie the ropes and charge!!"

After the shouts fell, the soldiers untied the ropes around their waists and began to land collectively.

In the command room, Qin Yu held a telescope and looked at his soldiers with a very serious expression before rushing up the cliff.

On the cliff, the soldiers lay down immediately after landing and looked around.

The light on the island was dim, and the soldiers did not see the enemy. The cold wind blew slowly, and the place was as quiet as a dead island.

After observing for a while, the first company commander immediately shouted: "Stand up and move forward."

More than a hundred people stood up when they heard the sound, bent down and were about to move forward.

"Boom!"

At this moment, an explosion suddenly occurred on the left side, and three soldiers were killed instantly without any precautions.

"There is a minefield!!"

The nearest soldier shouted in a shrill voice.
