Tangleh turned around and saw that it was none other than Bici. Right now, Bici was like a frightened bird. His body was trembling non-stop, his face was pale, and his hand that was holding onto the gun was almost unable to hold it steady.
Tangleh could understand Bici's current behavior. How could he not be feeling the same as everyone else? When they set off in the morning, Bici cried and refused to step out of the barracks no matter what, but how could such a thing be difficult for Tangleh?
He called Bruce and the others over. Each of them lifted their arms and legs and threw Bici onto the vehicle. After getting off, they did the same thing and stuffed the coward Bici into the landing craft. Thinking of this, Tangleh found it both funny and infuriating. To be a soldier, one must not be afraid of death. How did someone who was so afraid of death pass the inspection? It was unbelievable!
Boss, are we going to die?
Don't say such discouraging words. We will definitely be fine! Bici, don't worry. I will take good care of you. But why do I feel like my heart is beating so fast? Don't worry! Compared to this, everyone who is on the battlefield for the first time will feel this way, including me. Bici wanted to say something, but Tangleh raised his hand to stop him.
The battle was about to begin. Tangleh wanted to use this last moment to calm himself down. Therefore, a strange silence once again permeated the landing craft!
The fast-moving landing craft began to slow down. The sound of equipment being organized could be heard from inside the craft. Tangleh also began to organize his own things. At this moment, a voice came from above them. Everyone, don't be anxious. We have not reached our destination yet. We are slowing down now to wait for the artillery support from behind.
The one who spoke was a soldier piloting the landing craft. Perhaps to verify the authenticity of his words, the moment he finished speaking, the deafening sound of cannons firing came from behind him. The sound was truly terrifying and terrifying. Tangleh immediately made an evaluation when he heard the sound.
The two fearsome battleships, the New Jersey and the Missouri, had been waiting at South City Harbor for a long time. As soon as the landing craft appeared, they were ready. Once the landing craft gave the signal, they would immediately bombard the enemy on the beach. The Iowa-class battleship had nine cannons. The two battleships had 18 cannons, and the muzzles of these cannons were 406mm. (The largest Japanese battleship in World War II was 380mm. Think about it, how terrifying was that?) The sound of 18 cannons firing at the same time was definitely ear-piercing and terrifying.
The two battleships, the New Jersey and the Missouri, were the second and third Iowa-class battleships. They were built by the Philadelphia Navy Yard in 1940 and delivered to the Navy in 1943. Later, they were commissioned by Admiral William F. F? Halsey's flagship became the flagship of the Third B Squadron and participated in the war against Japan. He was relieved of active duty in June 1948 and assigned to the Atlantic Reserve Fleet in New York. He joined the Korean War in November 1950 and transferred to the reserve fleet in August 1957. He joined active duty in 1960 and participated in the war against Vietnam. The construction of the Missouri began in 1941 under the 11% Expansion Act at the Brooklyn Shipyard and was launched in 1944. The Missouri was decommissioned in 1992 and decommissioned in 1995. The two battleships earned three and five battle stars respectively during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnamese War.
The battleship began to bombard the beach of South Harbor. The huge muzzles slowly lifted and pointed at the enemy's position. Following the sound of "dong dong dong dong", "dong dong dong dong dong dong", shells fell on the beach one after another. The power of these cannonballs was immense. A single shot created a large hole in the beach that was half the size of a basketball court. The air friction between the cannonballs and the air produced an ear-piercing whistle.
The cannonballs flew over Tangleh's head. Tangleh covered his ears with his hands to endure the terrifying noise.
