Munitions Empire

Chapter 1097: Busy Beach 1019

On the undulating sea surface, the crowded Navy Marine Corps soldiers of the Great Tang Empire Navy, already drenched by the splashed sea, swayed along with the warship beneath their feet.

“The coastline is right ahead!” The driver operating the infantry landing craft loudly reminded the marines squeezing aboard his vessel.

“Who the hell invented this crappy boat with the hatch opening right at the front, so we get shredded by machine guns the moment we land?” A soldier holding his assault rifle complained quietly amidst the crowd.

After so many training sessions, they no longer vomited on the ship. Their faces were still pale, but at least they weren’t throwing up their lunch onto their comrades’ backpacks anymore.

“Shut up, this design lets us rush onto the beach the moment we land.” An old soldier at the front rebuked, while the approaching waves shattered at the front of the landing craft, dousing the camouflaged steel helmets with salty water as if it were a light rain.

This was far better conditions than when these veterans had landed on Dongwan Island, where more than half of them had to climb ashore from the sea.

The younger soldiers these days really don’t know how to be content. Having a ship to deliver them right under the enemy guns, to die—what a blissful thing that is.

The engine was too noisy, the sound of the waves slapping the hull too loud, making it impossible for them to hear the sound of their own beating hearts.

“Your Majesty will bless all brave soldiers! He is the Almighty God! The War God! The God of Health! Devote your all wholeheartedly, and your souls will reach the tranquil beyond! For the Great Tang Empire!” The platoon leader at the bow raised his arm high, leading everyone in prayers to the deity they worshipped.
