After 2 a.m., following the "end" of the fire preparation, the Iraqi troops will gradually move into defensive positions, preparing to face the impending attack.
According to the plan, the second round of fire preparation will begin around 3:30 a.m., and the duration will still be 2 hours.
In this round of fire preparation, the main force will consist of the Army and Marine Corps' long-range artillery.
Additionally, the 4 "Flame Sea" class battleships that have arrived at Boss Bay and have been incorporated into the bombardment formation will also join the fire support operation.
These are the last remaining battleships preserved by the Imperial Navy.
The "Flame Sea" class was the last type of battleship built by the Imperial Navy during the last great war, essentially an improved version of the "Nanzhu Sea" class with enhanced protection.
