"Lao Fu, do you think this bounty hunter group will log in from us?"

In the early morning of the Flower Country, a young soldier asked the middle-aged man next to him with a worried look on his face.

"If you ask me, I don't know either! I hope I won't attack from us! Not to mention today." Hearing this, the middle-aged soldier who called Lao Fu shook his head and said.

"I heard from others that the Bounty Hunter Group is very powerful and even the navy is not as good as the one, isn't it true?" the young man asked.

"When did you see that there were so few pirates in the West Sea now? You can hardly see them. This is what happened since the bounty hunter group came. In the past, there were never fewer pirates!" Lao Fu shook his head and said.

Although it is not said that the bounty hunter group is very strong, this is what it means.

"If the Bounty Hunters really attack from here, can we really stop it?" said the young man worriedly.

"I don't know. This defense line started to be built three years ago, and there are more than 5,000 people here to defend, so it should be able to block it!" Lao Fu said uncertainly. This defense line has been built for three years and can be said to be very solid, but the strength of the bounty hunter group is also very terrifying.

"It's getting foggy!"

Next to him, a soldier shouted, his face full of sorrow.

On the sea, as the sun rises, fog has begun to spread on the sea.

"What a damn fog, why did it get foggy today?" Hearing the shout, the middle-aged soldier named Lao Fu couldn't help but curse. He explained to the soldiers next to him: "The fog comes together, and the fog is blocked from the view on the sea. The shore defense cannon is basically useless and it is more difficult to find the enemy. The enemy will be easier to land."

"Enemy must not choose to log in from here!" Hearing this, the young soldier could only pray.

As the fog spread, the visibility on the sea quickly dropped to a range of fifty meters.

"Swish swish swish swish...!"

The whistling sound suddenly rang in the sky.

"What sound?"

Hearing the sound of whistling through the sky, the recruits were immediately confused.

"It's a shell, everyone should avoid the cannon."

Hearing the howling sounds in the sky, the veterans changed their faces, and they all shouted, quickly lying behind the trenches and bunkers.

"Boom..."

The next moment, a series of shells continued to fall, and on the coast, they kept exploding on the beach. The flames and waves swept across the coast's defense line. The drop of heavy shells directly collapsed sections of trenches and lifted the cannons on the defense line away.

The explosion of flames and shock waves stirred the thick fog around and blew it away.

"Don't leave your defense position without authorization. The enemy may attack at any time. Be careful to avoid falling shells. Before the enemy lands, do not easily poke your head out of the trench."

"Our reinforcements will come soon, and we will definitely hold on to the coast. It is impossible for the enemy to land from us."

"The time has come for the brave soldiers of the Flower Country to show your courage. For the Flower Country, we will use our cannons to counter them hard, so that they can know that our Flower Country is not easy to mess with."

Amid the explosion, the sergeant chiefs walked in the trenches with loud speakers, constantly shouting loudly.

The soldiers hid in the trenches tremblingly, listening to the sergeant's voices, and praying in their hearts that the enemy's shells would not fall on their heads.

Some soldiers, inspired by the Chief, quickly ran to the surrounding shore defense artillery fortress, began to control the shore defense artillery and began to fight back. If they could not see the enemies on the sea, they could only shoot at will.

"Bang bang bang!"

On the sea covered by thick fog, round shells kept falling in the thick fog, and large splashes of water exploded on the water. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the surrounding area except the thick fog, and all the shells exploded to the end.

———————————

Seven to eight nautical miles away from the coast, a huge steel fleet of more than fifty ships was parked on the sea covered by thick fog. The fleet's warships were constantly firing, and various shells with a caliber of more than 155 mm were pouring towards the coast of the Flower Kingdom more than ten kilometers away.

As for how the fleet accurately found the enemy's front in the fog, Wang Han launched a navigation positioner several years ago. He only needs to locate the position of the coast and his own position to roughly obtain the straight-line distance from the coast. The error will not exceed twenty meters. Just carry out cover artillery fire directly.

"The main gun No. 1, 30:1 east, 15,575, three volleys."

"The second main gun, 32:50 east, 15,660, three volleys."

"The third main gun, 33:3 in the east, 15,750, three volleys."

On the sea covered by thick fog, on the Yamato battleship, Mark used a newly equipped infrared observer to observe the coast in the thick fog in the command tower, while using a megaphone to command the main guns of the battleship and adjust the direction to launch artillery.

"Andrew, the newly equipped infrared rangefinder is really useful. In this thick fog, the enemy exposed his position as soon as he fired."

After reporting a coordinate, Mark smiled and raised his head and said to Andrew. In the new observer, although the distance is too far, the enemy on the defense line cannot be seen, as soon as the enemy fires, the flames at the muzzle of the shore defense gun are extremely conspicuous.

"The enemy's shells exploded at a distance of three nautical miles, and some of them were in a hurry to seek medical treatment. The commander was a nobleman. This landing will definitely go smoothly." Andrew was also observing with a new infrared observer, saying without raising his head.

As the commander-in-chief, Andrew was full of confidence. The fleet dispatched a total of fifty-five ships, including thirty-five steel warships, two of four battleships, ten of twenty cruisers, twenty destroyers, and twenty troop transport ships. With such a configuration, it is absolutely no problem to successfully land.
