    If this is at the beach landing, decent odds it was shore bombardment from some of the smaller weapons. The amount of naval fire directed at the opposing forces on the beach was incredible. My favorite little moment I’ve heard about from that was a battleship engaging a sniper nest that infantry had radioed in with their 16" main guns. There’s a naval historian on YouTube by the name drachinifels, I highly recommend watching his video on operation Neptune.
