Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar Chapter 1169

Eleuthera, New Providence and Grand Bahama in the Bahamas became the first islands attacked by the Russian Empire Navy and Marine Corps.

These three islands are relatively large. At the same time, the terrain is also flat, suitable for large-scale construction of field airports.

The three battleship divisions of the Russian Empire Navy, covering three marine divisions, tried to land on these three islands in the shortest time. And clear the lighthouse country’s troops on the island and occupy these three islands.

If the airport on the island can be occupied intact, it would be great.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The large-caliber naval guns of the Russian Empire Navy’s battleships are very powerful. After all, the main gun calibers of these battleships are all above 356 mm. Even many battleships are equipped with 410 mm main guns. The four Yamato-class battleships and two N3-class battleships are equipped with 460 mm main guns.

Such a terrifying firepower is simply not something that human power can resist.

The fortifications built by the 5th Division of the Lighthouse Marine Corps on the island were like paper in front of these large-caliber naval guns and were easily destroyed.

The soldiers of the Lighthouse Marine Corps stationed in these fortifications suffered heavy losses.

After a brief fire preparation, the soldiers of the Tsarist Russian Empire Marine Corps began to launch landing operations under the support of their own naval guns. Amphibious tanks and landing craft rushed to the coast.

One after another, Cossack helicopters flew overhead and headed straight for the beach.

Facing the landing of the Tsarist Russian Empire Marine Corps, the 5th Division of the Lighthouse Marine Corps was undoubtedly under great pressure.

Not only were they completely at a disadvantage in terms of manpower. At the same time, they were completely suppressed in terms of firepower and air support. Under such circumstances, it is wishful thinking to expect the Marine Corps of the Lighthouse Country to resist the attack of the Russians!

"Oh my God! Are the Russians going to seize the Bahamas? How could they have such a plan!" Major General Jackson, the commander of the 5th Division of the Lighthouse Marine Corps, could not accept such a reality even at this moment.

However, at this moment, they have been attacked by the Russians, which is real.

"General, the Russian Marine Corps has begun to land in large numbers. They have dispatched too many troops. Our troops on Eleuthera Island, New Providence Island and Grand Bahama Island are completely suppressed. If this continues, I am afraid that we will not be able to resist the attack of the Russians at all!" An officer looked anxious.

Although the 5th Division of the Lighthouse Marine Corps has more than 20,000 people. However, these troops are scattered on various islands in the Bahamas. As a result, they are unable to resist the attack of the superior forces of the Russian Imperial Marine Corps.

Especially with the powerful firepower support provided by the Russian Imperial Navy Fleet, the defenders of the Lighthouse Marine Corps suffered heavy losses under the fierce firepower attack.

After the soldiers of the Russian Empire Marine Corps landed, they began to attack.

Although the resistance of the Lighthouse Marine Corps was very tenacious, they were at an absolute disadvantage. Their battles were very difficult and their losses were very heavy. They were almost beaten back by the Russian Empire Marine Corps.

As more and more Russian Empire Marine Corps landed, the Lighthouse Marine Corps was defeated and even annihilated in the Bahamas. There was no problem.

"Send a telegram to the country immediately. We need reinforcements. Otherwise, we will soon be wiped out by the Russians. And the Bahamas will fall completely into the hands of the Russians!" Major General Jackson ordered.

"Yes, General!" the officer replied.

However, Major General Jackson also knew very well. Even if the Lighthouse Country reacted, it would not be so easy to reinforce the Bahamas. Although the Bahamas are not far from the mainland of the Lighthouse Country, they are still two or three hundred kilometers away.

In addition, the Russian Empire Navy is now attacking in large numbers. Without ensuring the control of the sea, how can the Lighthouse Country dare to send large reinforcements to the Bahamas? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be suicide?

Once the Russians dispatched fleets and carrier-based aircraft to attack their transport fleets, wouldn’t a large number of reinforcements fall into the sea to feed the fish before arriving at the Bahamas?

It can be said that at this point in the battle, it is probably unlikely that the Lighthouse Country wants to prevent the Russian Empire from seizing the Bahamas.

So, for them, how to ensure the safety of the mainland and how to prevent the Russians from gaining a foothold in the Bahamas is the most important thing.

At the Marine Corps Command of the Lighthouse Country, Lieutenant General Alexander Vandergrift, the commander of the Marine Corps, received a telegram for help from Major General Jackson.

Lt. General Alexander Vandergrift was also surprised to learn that the Russians had launched a massive attack on the Bahamas and even sent a large number of marines to land in the Bahamas. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Damn, did the Russians choose the Bahamas as a breakthrough point? It seems that the 5th Division may be in trouble this time." Lieutenant General Alexander Vandergrift almost immediately anticipated the difficulties faced by the 5th Marine Division. Even if they reinforced the Bahamas as soon as possible, it might be too late. Then, the annihilation of the 5th Marine Division was inevitable.

Lieutenant General Alexander Vandergrift called the White Palace as soon as possible, and then went to the White Palace to report the relevant situation to General Franklin.

In the White Palace’s Grand Commander’s Office, the Lighthouse Nation’s Grand Commander Franklin, Army Chief of Staff General George Marshall, Navy Chief of Operations General Harold Stark, Army Air Force Commander Henry AAdmiral Nord and others gathered here.

Everyone’s expression was very solemn. Obviously, everyone had already known the news that the Russians had launched a large-scale attack on the Bahamas. And everyone began to wonder why the Russians wanted to attack the Bahamas.

But it is undeniable that the Russians’ actions this time were beyond their expectations. And it posed a huge threat to the Lighthouse Country.

Once the Russians controlled the entire Bahamas. Then, the southeastern region of the Lighthouse Country would be within the Russian strike radius. .
