Li Mingsheng subconsciously asked, "Can't we squeeze in a bit more?"
"This is an exercise, so there's no enemy counterattack from the shore. If it were actual combat, and the landing operation was like when we first came, all the ships packed together at sea, all the officers and soldiers crowded on the beachhead, the coastal artillery wouldn't even need to aim on purpose—one shell over and it'd cause us heavy casualties."
"Spread out like this now, we can preserve our fighting strength to the greatest extent?"
"It should."
"But this few people ashore still isn't enough!"
"This is just the first wave. Once the troops that seize the beachhead take down the positions, and once the Air Force and Navy Aviation secure air superiority, then the main force can come up."
...
Han Yu had no idea whether the superior really had deployed it this way, because the anchorage of Jiangyu 628 was far from the waters of the beach-landing.
