The beach that we're going to land on now looks to be very hot from here. We can see it too well from our position here on this side of the super structure. We can see those guys from bursting water shells and artillery shells being tossed up in the air.
And also the land just beyond the water, just inland the beach itself, seems to be a plane. You can obviously hear this gunfire going on all around us now. We are now inside the screen of warships.
There's no more warships between us and the beach. These, we look out to the sternovish now and there are hundreds of crabs flying out there Up between us and the beach, nothing except a few amphibious crafters on the beach Discord their tanks and some of these Amtraks and Higgins boats that are already let go their troops
They're still peached in there As the water's being churned up quite a bit in between us and the beach now with the bursting of these shells The chemtrax are churning back and forth with our loads of marine, and we can see one.
It looks like a tank burning in there on the shore. The fire is burned down low in it. How is it cheap on the shore that has been hit? Well, we can't say any more than that.
Looking through our glasses, now we're just a couple of hundred yards off the beach. We can see these chemtrax pull up along the beach and dozens of marines around each one of them. them, performing their various duties, trying to free them if possible to get the back yards of hall in for a Marine.
