407 The sudden battle

The landing troops were vulnerable and chaotic. It was no easy task to deploy soldiers onto the beach in an organized fashion.

The rising and falling tides affected the speed of the landing crafts, and the Great Tang Group had even initiated this military action without investigating the local hydrological conditions.

To be frank, this was a military gamble, and no one would be surprised if it failed. The company commander of the first battalion's first company was almost driven to tears by the troops that had already landed.

More than half of the second company's landing troops had arrived without their weapons; a few had handguns, and some carried versatile daggers.

They were without steel helmets or backpacks, essentially just people who had made it to shore, with no fighting capability whatsoever.

Now, the only thing these soldiers could do was to stay on the beach, barefoot, helping to pull the rest of the troops and equipment from the sea to the shore.
