Chapter 208 The final bombardment of the Japanese naval artillery group
"Bagaya Road! Send mine-clearing troops to clear mines quickly!"
"These damn Chinese troops, instead of deploying mines behind mines, they also have so many obstacles to prevent landing operations!"
"Has the secret of our landing at Jinshanwei been leaked to these damn Chinese troops?"
"According to intelligence, people around me show that not only are there not many troops guarding Jinshan Guard, there are not even many obstacles to prevent landing operations! But why is the current battle situation completely different from what our intelligence agency reported?"
When the captain of the Kunisaki detachment looked at his troops, more than 10 Japanese officers and soldiers were injured and killed by landmines one after another,
He immediately roared angrily.
And the combat order for mine clearing was immediately issued.
"Hai!"
"Your Excellency, I am the detachment leader! There is a lot of silt on the beach here and beside the salt pans. Once you sink in, you will sink very deep!"
"It's very difficult to handle our mine clearance work!"
However, as soon as the combat instructions from Captain Kunizaki Detachment were given, Japanese officers from the mine clearance unit were quickly around him, hurriedly walking over to report.
"Baga! I want you to clear mines immediately. Just clear mines for me. Don't talk nonsense. Find a way to clear mines for me. Whether it's using artillery to clear mines, or giving me manpower to clear mines one by one. It must be fast!"
"There will be enemy planes bombing us in the sky at any time!"
"In addition, we don't have much time to be delayed here, otherwise after the tide recedes, our landing operation will be even more difficult, and once the reinforcements of the Chinese Army arrive here, our battle will have even more obstacles.
Got it!"
As soon as he heard what the other party said, Captain Kunisaki Noboru immediately retorted angrily without thinking.
"Hai!"
Seeing Captain Kunisaki detachment scolding him so fiercely, Japanese mine clearance officer Nishinogi Nori quickly nodded and agreed.
He broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that he had just offended the other party and would be pulled out and shot by the detachment leader.
So after he responded,
He hurriedly followed the order, walking as fast as he could, and slipped away without looking back.
It's just that the speed of these devils' mine clearance is also very slow.
Because there are many obstacles in anti-landing operations,
Moreover, there are still many places with mud, which increases the efficiency of these devils' demining.
He Feiyang’s hidden position,
"The camp! Those Japanese soldiers are still clearing mines? Are we going to continue to land and they have finished clearing mines? Their speed is so slow! My hands are itchy!"
Zhang Mingyou, the deputy commander of the reconnaissance battalion, said to He Feiyang anxiously wanting to kill the Japanese.
"Keep waiting! Wait for more Japs to come over, then it will be more fun to kill them!"
"Otherwise, our configuration of so many heavy-firepower weapons and equipment will be wasted!"
"Just follow my orders and you'll be fine!"
"Now keep waiting!"
In response to deputy battalion commander Zhang Mingyou's urging, He Feiyang was very calm. He looked at the Japanese troops blocked by mine arrays and anti-landing obstacles and responded calmly.
"."
Deputy battalion commander Zhang Mingyou.
After listening, he could only close his mouth and stop talking.
Other Sichuan officers and soldiers who also wanted to fight as soon as possible also did not express their opinions.
But just when the Japanese troops were clearing landmines inefficiently,
The air defense operations on the side of the Japanese Fourth Fleet were also extremely intense.
Although several F4U pirate fighter jets were shot down to the seabed in the distance by the fleet's intensive anti-aircraft firepower,
However, the Japanese fleet suffered a lot of casualties, especially the transport ships and merchant transport ships without anti-aircraft firepower, which were completely living targets and many were sunk by the F4U pirate fighter group.
Therefore, the losses of the Japanese 10th Army's military supplies, weapons and equipment, and ammunition were very large.
Even the casualties among the Japanese officers and soldiers were heavy.
What only made Fourth Fleet Commander Lieutenant General Hosuke Gokoro, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heishuke, and Chief of Staff Major General Moritake Tanabe furious was that these F4U pirate fighter jets quickly escaped after using up all their ammunition.
.
The severely damaged Fourth Fleet was left behind, covered in scars in the smoke-filled night.
"Bagaya Road! Damn enemy planes!"
"Where did they come from? Which fleet transported them here to fight?"
"My fourth fleet!"
"With such heavy casualties this time, I, the commander, will be miserable!"
"How do I explain this to the Imperial Navy and the Marine Minister?"
Seeing the loss of many merchant ships, ships, and more than a dozen Type 97 carrier-based aircraft, the commander of the Fourth Fleet, Lieutenant General Xi Xuan Wu Zilang, was so distressed that he was bleeding.
"Baga Yalu! Damn the China Army! Continue the landing operation immediately!"
"I must bloodbath the entire Jinshan Guard of China!"
"Those carrier-based aircraft groups of unknown origin just now must be here to support these damn China forces in their operations, otherwise they would never have appeared in this early morning!"
"Quick! For those who are not dead, let me immediately continue to launch landing craft, boats, and small steamer fleets, all towards Jinshan Guard for landing operations!"
However, Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, who was also grieving the loss of Japanese soldiers and military supplies, had a ferocious look on his face as he issued the order to continue the landing operation.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
All the Japanese officers who were not killed immediately agreed in unison and loudly,
Even the chief of staff, Major General Moritake Tanabe, who also had an ugly look on his face, responded with murderous intent.
As the chief of staff of the Japanese 10th Army, he could not just watch so many Japanese soldiers killed in action and remain indifferent.
So his current hatred and murderous intention are overwhelming.
"Baga! Can the naval gun group still move?"
"If it can still be used, please Commander, please use the naval gun group immediately to bombard the Jinshan Guard position of the China Army!"
"Now those damn enemy planes have left! So please, Commander, please give the combat order!"
"For all the fallen warriors of our empire, as well as the lost military supplies and weapons and equipment, as well as ammunition, as well as merchant ships and ships! We must use the blood of the China Army to wash away all our losses!
"
"Otherwise, those warriors who died in battle would not rest in peace!"
So after Yanagawa Heisuke Masayoshi finished his words,
The chief of staff, Rear Admiral Moritake Tanabe, also went to the commander of the Fourth Fleet, Lieutenant General Hosoo Goshiro, and persuaded him to immediately use the naval gun group again to bombard the defensive position of Jinshan Guard.
"Gah! Although the naval gun group can still be used, it is not as powerful as before being attacked by those damn enemy planes!"
"Many naval guns are now damaged, and even ships have been sunk into the sea!"
"At most, less than half of the naval guns can be used to bombard the Jinshan Guard position of the China Army!"
However, in response to Chief of Staff Rear Admiral Moritake Tanabe's personal request for combat, the Commander of the Fourth Fleet, Vice Admiral Gojiro Hosuan, responded with great distress and helplessness.
"."
Chief of Staff Major General Moritake Tanabe.
After hearing such bad news, he was stunned for a while.
"Damn China Army! And those damn enemy planes!"
"In that case! Then please Commander, please use the last gun group to bomb China Jinshan Guard!"
"As long as we capture this place, our imperial army will not come here in vain!"
"Otherwise we won't be able to explain to the base camp and all the local citizens!"
"The casualties of so many warriors, the loss of so much military supplies, and fleets will definitely arouse criticism and abuse from everyone in the country!"
"So in order to save our face and combat capabilities, we must capture the Jinshan Guard that the Chinese Army is holding on to!"
However, after digesting the words of Vice Admiral Xi Xuan Wu Zilang, Commander of the Fourth Fleet,
Chief of Staff Major General Moritake Tanabe also immediately persuaded loudly.
"Yeah! I know!"
"All the remaining naval guns that can still carry out artillery bombardment, give me immediate preparations to bombard the Jinshan Guard where the China Army is holding fast!"
"Be sure to support the army, successfully land on the beach, and seize Jinshanwei!"
Looking at the determined Chief of Staff, Rear Admiral Moritake Tanabe, the Commander of the Fourth Fleet, Vice Admiral Hosoo Gokoro, immediately agreed without thinking, and ordered the final bombardment operation to the Japanese naval officers around them.
