When the 16th Army attacked many islands in Xinlan, the Navy also carried the 16th Army to attack the islands in the Pacific.

The Vanuatu Islands were originally a French colony, but now and the surrounding areas have generally become the territory of the Citizens. The island is less than one thousand square kilometers, but the Citizens deployed a division of troops here.

Citizens also arranged a small airport on this island, because they knew that those tens of thousands of square kilometers of large islands are difficult to defend. Once they are deployed by China’s superior forces, they will end in failure. It is better to defend them. The islands are not big or small, and it is impossible for China to participate in the attack.

China’s 17th Army put the strength of a division here plus the 13th Division of the Marine Corps.

They had arrived here on the morning of the 12th to throw themselves into the war capital at any time.

Under the cover of the 13th and 14th Aircraft Carrier Strike Group and the 2nd Battleship Squadron, the 7th Division of the Imperial Marine Corps arrived in this area and prepared to launch an attack on this area.At the same time, the Imperial Air Force on the Solomon Islands is also preparing to throw fighter jets into the offensive.

The first thing the two sides conducted was air combat, but due to lack of support, the Citi Air Force, which was still an old fighter plane, was not at all an opponent of China's carrier-based aircraft. 36 fighters were wiped out in just ten minutes.

Inside the Mi Army Command on the island, a communications staff officer hurried in.

"General, our airport was taken down by Huaxia, and none of the fighter jets survived."

He shouted as soon as he entered the door.

"I see, there is no alternative. Our air force is not their opponent."

Fred had been mentally prepared for a long time, and their air force had never won, let alone these old fighters.

"Yes, general, even if there is no air force or navy, we will definitely be able to teach these yellow-skinned monkeys a hard lesson this time."

The staff officer said so.

"Yes, this kind of landing battle is fundamentally different from a large-scale land battle. It is impossible for the Huaxia people to invest too many troops at once. Instead, they will be passively beaten because of the landing. This is our advantage."

"Order all ministries to stick to the end, and not to give up easily. We must complete our mission and buy more time for our family." Yunxuange www.yunxuange.org

Major General Fred said that he was fully aware of his own strengths and weaknesses, but no matter how they persisted, they would be defeated. It was only the length of time they persisted, but he still chose to stand firm and never surrender.

"Yes, General."

The staff officer nodded and immediately turned around to give the order.

Although Fred is not a famous general, his style is tough, and the soldiers under him are not spoiled. There is a big difference from the previous Mi Army, which is considered to be a relatively powerful army.

After the carrier-based aircraft obtained air supremacy, the navy launched an artillery attack in Sakar. Although this is only a small port, it is already the largest city on the island, and because it belongs to the deep sea area, it is also suitable for landing. That's it.

This is one of the advantages of Citigroup. As long as the Citigroup blows up the heavy weapons of the port China, they cannot land ashore. They also have a defensive advantage.

A battleship and two battlecruisers of the Chinese Navy also participated in the island attack, and together with the cruiser destroyers, they continuously fired at the Citi position.

Fire suppression in landing operations is very important because the Marines have almost no means of resistance during the landing process, but the enemy can use them as moving targets to practice marksmanship and artillery accuracy.

Even if the combat literacy of one party is high, urban street battles, mountain battles and landing battles are the places where an army is most likely to suffer heavy casualties, so there will be room for special forces to play.

"Boom! Boom!"

Fierce explosions sounded constantly on the positions of the Mi Army. After the explosion of naval artillery shells of various calibers, they would leave large and small craters on the shoreline of the land, especially the huge guns with a caliber of 240mm or more, even if they were surfaced. The strong fortress positions can also be destroyed.

From the arquebus era, the platoon of guns, to the free firing of the skirmishers, and then the trench fortresses, with the powerful grammar of the firepower, the human body became more and more fragile, and now no one is standing and shooting you stupidly.

Under the attack of carrier-based aircraft and naval guns, most of the entire frontline defensive positions of the Mi Army were destroyed, and the coast was already in a mess.

In the face of naval gun and air force attacks, these Citizens have little choice. Although they have anti-aircraft machine guns, they cannot face large-caliber naval guns. They can only hide in defensive positions as much as possible and pray that they will not Was killed.

It’s just that the intensity of the shelling made them speechless and frightened. They finally realized that the richest person in the world was not their Citizens but the Chinese. They only dealt with the forces of one of their divisions. At least tens of thousands of shells were fired and thrown. The bomb, and it was just a preparation for artillery fire.

When the artillery fire was over, the Citizens finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time their fortifications had been blown out of shape, and the loss of personnel had reached more than 5,000...
