Chapter 206 Login

The rumble of gunfire sounded, and the rapid-fire guns of the warships, cruisers and armed carriers of the escort fleet began to shell the flat coast of Tuzusaki in Tosa Bay with the order, while Jingyuan and Zhiyuan made full use of their long-range artillery fire to launch heavy armor-piercing at the mountaintop coastal forts near Puto Bay. Bullets, high-explosive bombs.

Unexpectedly, there was no counterattack! However, even so, the naval escort fleet still faithfully performed its duties. They dumped continuous artillery near the coast and made a beachhead isolation belt on the coast of Zhongqi with dense shells.

In human history, such a dawn may be the first time. In the hazy and gloomy morning, after six days of sailing, on April 2, 1906, a fleet of 72 warships, troop carriers and freighters set up a position on the periphery of the three offensive beaches on the coast of Zhongqi in Tosa Bay with a majestic and daunting momentum.

At this time, the sea, which is only one kilometer away from the land, is full of armed troop carriers. On the troop carriers, the gunners are wary and look at the seeded coast turbulent in the flames.

The flag flew all over the sea, making a crackling sound in the sea breeze. The transport fleet and landing fleet near the landing position were sinking in the water at this time. After a long voyage, the soldiers carrying guns passed through the messy cabins that were difficult to penetrate and came to the deck. At this time, the sailors We have put the climbing nets tied to both sides into the sea. Wooden or steel landing craft are hoisted into the sea one by one, tied with ropes and parked around the troop carrier.

The deck of the troop carrier was also full of noisy soldiers, waiting for the signal to rush to the beach - they were about to land with the first landing wave.

A large number of ships lined up in the wide sea are noisy and full of vitality. The torpedo boat released on the warship shuttled back and forth between the fleets. On the torpedo boat, the gunner with a pound gun looked at the distance warily to prevent any fish that leaked the net from attacking the convoy.

The engine on the sea shook and made a low sound. The boom swayed out one slam after another, and the chain on the rack made a creaking sound. The nervous soldiers began to disembark along the climbing net with the sound of the whistle, and on the landing craft, the sailors held the climbing net.

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

"Be careful, turn left..."

While the sailors were shouting to support the dry ducks of the army to board the boat, they suddenly blew up several columns of water on the sea. A wooden landing boat was directly torn to pieces because of the near loss of ammunition. The two sailors on the boat who were responsible for leading the ship disappeared, and then the sea suddenly turned red.

"The enemy fights back!"

The next second, the 120mm rapid-fire gun on the troop carrier cheered, and the rate of fire of the warship that had been fired at a low speed in the distance also accelerated. Obviously, this was to retaliation for this sudden counterattack.

"It's useless!"

Wei Ze, who was waiting to get off the ship, scolded at his mouth. He only looked at the water column. Wei Ze knew that it must be a shell shot by a mountain cannon of about 75 mm. The position of the mountain cannon may be in the rice field. He couldn't touch the position so wildly bombarded. Instead, he gave the other party a chance to fish in the mixed water.

Sure enough, as Wei Ze speculated, three columns of water were blown up one after another on the sea. After the three columns of water were blown up, Wei Ze began to count the numbers in his heart.

"45..."

When he read this number, Wei Ze saw that another three columns of water exploded on the sea.

"It's an old-fashioned retreat gun!"

At this time, Wei Ze was finally relieved. At this time, any slightly experienced officer would take advantage of the maximum rate of fire to concentrate on the gunfire and fish, but the other party only hit back once in almost a minute, and three guns at a time, there is only one possibility that their guns are too old!

After the occasional falling shell exploded more than ten meters away from the landing craft, the shock wave only made the soldiers on the boat tremble all over. Occasionally, one or two fragments hit the thin steel plate of the boat body in the water, making a trembling sound.

The sailors on the motorized traffic boat commanded the noisy attack boats to form a formation and loudly announced with a loudspeaker rolled in iron:

"Soon up! Line up! "

At the same time, the soldiers on the transport ship crowded the deck, waiting to take turns to climb the sliding ladder or crawling net to enter the landing craft.

During the whole process, officers on all ships were holding iron rolled into loudspeakers, constantly making notifications and agitating words.

"Work hard to fight on land, fight hard to protect ships, as long as there is still a breath, work hard to save lives." ... "First Division, rush up and let the enemy go to hell!" ... "Don't forget the Lushun Massacre!" ... "Glorious Royal Guards, take your positions." ... "Remember Lushun! Kill the enemy to serve the country!" ... "We would rather die on the beach of the four countries than look back." ... "The time for the decisive battle has come. Brothers, take up your weapons and carry them on your shoulders. You only have one-way tickets, and this is the end of the line. The 19th Division, put on the bayonet!"

With loudspeakers, officers shouted the slogans of various units. On the crowded deck, the seamen and soldiers wished each other good luck. Hundreds of people exchanged home addresses in detail.

"Shi Pengcheng! Peng Cheng, the second one..."

Shi Pengsheng, a technical sergeant of the 19th Division, found the stern from the bow of the ship on the crowded deck, hoping to take a look at his twin brothers at the last minute. The two of them were twin brothers and served in an infantry regiment.

At this time, Shi Pengcheng smiled at him, stretched out his hands to his brother from afar, and then the two brothers hugged each other tightly.

"Brother, you must go home alive!"

"Hmm!"

When the two brothers said goodbye, no one said anything. Shi Pengcheng just held the helmet and raised the rifle.

"The 19th Division!"

"The bayonet!"

The two brothers said goodbye in the slogan of the 19th Division, and Shi Pengsheng boarded the slam board along the crawling net when the whistle sounded.

At this time, the speed of the troops getting off the ship was accelerating, and the soldiers on the boat were soaked and exhausted by the waves while waiting, but they had to travel a kilometer to land.

"Target, right in front!"

Suddenly, when two red flares dragged the fire dragon into the air, the squad leader on each boat issued a command. At the same time, a deafening whistle sounded and the landing operation began.

"Left and right, left and right..."

Every time Wei Ze, who commanded the boat to row, issued a command, the two drains on the port side of the right side rowed the oars desperately, which was a complex and dangerous action. Each soldier carries too much equipment to move. In addition to carrying weapons, field backpacks, excavation tools, gas masks, first aid kits, kettles, daggers, and food, each soldier must also carry a large number of grenades, explosives, and often up to 250 bullets.

In addition, many soldiers also carry special equipment necessary for their special missions. In front of Wei Ze, a sergeant, several soldiers carried mobile telegraph machines and some people carried carrier pigeons, which were all necessary equipment, but in Wei Ze's eyes, his soldiers moved as slowly as turtles because they carried too much equipment.

"Oh..."

While rowing, the assault boat floated up and down in the waves. The waves hit the hull, and Lushan, who was willing to stare at the beach, was the only one in his mind.

"If you can get to that beach, you will win half of the battle."

At this time, the waves were too high, and many landing boats swayed with the waves like toys in the waves. A big wave hit and only pushed a few small boats and many dizzy soldiers into the sea.

The heavy equipment dragged the soldiers to the bottom of the sea all the time, but hundreds of boats were in the struggle, but they had no intention of stopping at all.

"As long as the landing is successful, any soldier who participates in this battle is enough to be called a hero!"

Standing on the deck of Jingyuan, looking at the hundreds of boats struggling with a telescope, Xiao Yu said in his heart that he understood that for the Chinese army, this kind of landing operation was the first time, and even for the whole world, it was the first landing on this scale.

"Chinese...Chinese..."

Seeing the hundreds of boats rowing towards the beach in the moonlight from the telescope, Kawada said to himself in horror.

For... Why... "How did the Chinese get here?"

Yamajima Arita muttered. He looked around, but only saw a dull face with a trace of fear and anger.

"Little village, you immediately inform the captain that the Chinese landed on the coast of Zhongqi, and the troops promised..."

How much is it? For a while, Koda's original work also couldn't figure it out.

"At least 50,000 people!"

After the messenger left quickly, Kawada looked at the faces around him with intertwined with fear and anger.

"Okay, now..."

Silence for a moment, said Kawada.

"It's time for us to be loyal to our country!"

There were no extra words, and then Kodamoto pointed to the direction of the beach.

"Now, the whole squadron is marching to the beach. In any case, we must prove to the Chinese that this is the land of Japan!"

At this time, a roaring storm-like gunfire broke out throughout the attacking area. Large warships kept shooting at the coast, and strong sound waves shook back and forth on the Normandy coast. The gray sky was illuminated by the gunfire from the warship, and a large mass of black smoke began to rise into the air around the beach.

Every minute, several tons of steel and explosives are thrown to the coast. Mobile cruisers and destroyers hit a series of shells at areas near the beach. The continuous bombardment of the navy is daunting, leaving a deep impression on those who saw and heard the bombardment.

And many young soldiers in the landing force were almost scared by the large-scale firepower of the fleet. They could not understand which kind of army could withstand this kind of shelling, and even they did not doubt that after they went ashore, the enemy they needed to face had already become shelling on this scale. The body.

At this time, in the landing boat moving at full speed, the soldiers who were wet with the sea rowed while scooping water out of the boat with their helmets. When they saw the overwhelming shells roaring over their heads, they always cheered for the powerful shelling.

There is no need to wait for the messenger sent by He Tian to arrive at the rear brigade. The Hashimoto Brigade, which is more than ten kilometers away from the coast, has been awakened by the sound of an explosion. The shells keep falling near the village where the brigade is located. Buildings are torn into pieces by shelling, and the civilians in the houses often die in their sleep. In the midst of shelling.

The last explosion was very close. The vibration of the shell threw Hashimoto away fiercely, threw him back, and finally fell to the ground heavily. Dust and dust fell around him like raindrops. The dust raised by the explosion was like smoke, so that he could see nothing, but he could hear the shouts of the soldiers. The shells fell into the village again and again.

Hashimoto was at a loss by this shock and could hardly speak.

At this time, the phone is ringing. It was called by the headquarters of the 51st Brigade.

"What's the situation?"

A voice on the phone asked, obviously it was known that it had been shelled here.

"We are being shelled,"

When he finally spoke, Hashimoto noticed that his voice was very nervous.

"Dense shelling, like..."

When he reported on the phone, he heard the explosion of the shell again. Another shell landed near the village, throwing avalanche-like blocks and stones through the doors and windows torn by the shock wave.

After he dodged the shelling, Hashimoto found that he was covered with a thin layer of dust from head to toe, and his military uniform had been torn.

After a while, the bombardment stopped. Through the thick dust, Hashimoto saw several soldiers lying on the cement floor. He shouted at the soldiers over there.

"Take advantage of the opportunity now, it's best for you to get in touch with the Koda team immediately and find out what's going on..."

Just then, a soldier rushed in. It was a messenger sent by Hetian.

"Report Captain, Chinese, Chinese have landed..."

"What!"

When he was surprised, Hashimoto's face was full of disbelief. He looked at the messenger in front of him gloomily, and it took a long time to recover, and then shouted at the other end of the phone.

"Your officer, Chinese, the Chinese have landed..."

On the large warships far away from the coast, the fire flashed, followed by a series of dull gunfire. The gunfire was drowned out by the subsequent sound of tearing explosions. The air waves make the air shake. During the shelling, Yamashima Arita saw the landing craft swarming towards the shipwreck. The white and gray boats rowed more than ten meters from the beach and stopped. Then the little figures jumped out of the boat one by one. They held guns on their heads and waded towards the coast. They scrambled to climb up the beach.

At this time, Yamashima Arita could clearly see the Chinese people. Their faces seemed to have been blackened. Unexpectedly, almost when they jumped out of the boat, the sound from their voices disappeared. At this time, these faces were blackened [*** People, in the morning, stepped on the sea like a ghost of the night.

"Prepare..."

Kawata, who was holding a pistol, aimed at the figure of a Chinese soldier with a pistol and shouted in a low voice. As soon as his voice fell, there was a clatter of pulling the bolt in his ear.

At this time, there were only more than 30 soldiers left beside him. The others died in the shelling on the way through the gunfire to the beach, but this made the vast majority of people have weapons.

Almost at the moment he stepped on the beach, Wei Ze instinctively fell on the wet beach. All the soldiers were like this, and then one after another, some soldiers kept jumping up to approach the ridges of the sea.

" Bang..."

A gunshot, and dozens of gunshots interrupted the soldier's jump in the next second. When several soldiers fell to the ground, the soldiers who had originally jumped to the ground fell back on the beach. The machine guns and submachine guns covered on the beach immediately shot in the direction of the gunfire, and the soldiers in the front row stood That is, turn into crawling forward.

When the dense rain swept through the ridges of the field, the moment when Yamashima Arita lowered his head, he only felt that his forehead was wet and his hand was bloody!

I looked around and saw a head smashed by a bullet. Who was he?

The firepower of the defense was weak. Yamashima Arita heard a rapid whistle in the direction of the beach. The sad whistle was very urgent. The whistle tore through the dawn before dawn. The next second, Yamashima Arita heard a burst of footsteps in his ear.

"Quick, the first class..."

With an order from his mouth up and down, Wei Ze had thrown down his backpack, only carrying a submachine gun and a few grenades. He suddenly jumped up and approached in the direction of the gunshot. Behind him, the heavy machine gun that had been sent ashore, spewed a fire tongue in front of him.

When he was charging in danger, he found that the Japanese army's resistance was completely suppressed by the firepower of the machine gun. He held a submachine gun in his right hand, but he took out a grenade from the back of his waist in his left hand. At the same time, his comrades-in-arms around him also took out grenades one after another. At this time, the suppressed firepower suddenly stopped, as if it was changing the bullet chain. Before that, Several heads suddenly appeared on the ridges dozens of meters ahead, and they aimed at the front with their guns.

"Grenade..."

With a deep shout, dozens of grenades threw towards the ridge dozens of meters away. While the grenade was thrown out, Wei Ze fell into the rice fields again.

As soon as he appeared, Yamashima Arita saw dozens of black spots throwing towards him. When he instinctively lowered his body, the explosion and airflow and dust rushed over.

"Quick..."

Before the squadron leader gave the order, Yamashima Arita heard the rapid footsteps getting closer and closer. He raised his head and saw a group of silent enemies. They approached this side with bayonets and guns.

"The bayonet..."

Ah... When the squadron leader stood up and rushed over, Yamashima Arita also rushed with a bayonet with a rifle, but when he rushed back a few meters away, he saw a little orange flame flashing in front of him, and then he only felt that his chest seemed to have been bitten by something in a row, and the next moment his strength seemed to pull away. The body is average, and the person suddenly falls into the rice field and lies on his back in the field. When he is conscious of his body, there is still a trace of puzzle in Yamashima's eyes. No... Isn't it a bayonet?

He stepped on a corpse, spit, looked at more than 20 corpses, and snorted coldly when changing the magazine for the submachine gun.

"A bunch of idiots!"
