At this time, on the cruiser Ashigara.

Toyota's vice takeshi frowned and asked Yanagawa Heisuke, "Yanagawa-kun, are you sure you want to do this?" ”

"Hello!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded and said, "Toyoda-kun, I want to see the progress of the battle as soon as possible, so I have to go to the sounding balloon!" ”

Dare to love this old devil if he wants to go up with a balloon, so he is not afraid of falling down?

After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke bowed again: "Toyota-kun, please!" ”

"Okay." Deputy Toyoda bowed his head slightly, and then turned back to make a move, and the soldiers of the weather team immediately turned on the machine and began to pour hot air into the hot air balloon, and after a while, the huge sounding balloon began to rise, and then, with the hanging basket, it rose to a height of 100 meters, and also sent Yanagawa Heisuke and Tanabe Moritake into the air.

At this time, the beach-grabbing troops of the Kunisaki Detachment, the Sixth Division, and the Eighteenth Division were ready.

Moritake Tanabe raised his wrist and looked at the watch below, the hour hand was already pointing to six o'clock, and he said to Yanagawa Heisuke: "Your Excellency, Commander, the time has come!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded, "Then let's get started!" ”

"Hello!" Tanabe Moritake paused, then leaned out of his upper body from the hanging blue and beckoned downward.

The next moment, dozens of devil warships moored on the sea, all the naval guns fired at the same time, dumping rows of shells onto the shore.

In an instant, more than ten miles of coastline from Caojing to Jinshanzui were swallowed up by the smoke of artillery shells!

Not long after, a huge engine roar was heard in the eastern sky, and then a series of fighters and bombers with plaster patterns painted under the yellow-green wings came out of the thin clouds, and immediately swooped down to the coastal defense positions on the Jinshanwei line, and then dropped rows of aerial bombs.

The entire Jinshanwei was blown into purgatory!

Standing at an altitude of 100 meters and looking down for a bird's eye view, this bombing scene is still very spectacular.

Tanabe Moritake said proudly to Yanagawa Heisuke: "Your Excellency Commander, after such a high-intensity bombardment, the living forces of the Shina Army will definitely be killed and wounded a lot, plus they already have a few people left, I think this time, the Imperial Army will definitely be able to land on the beach." ”

"Sodax." Yanagawa Heisuke said happily.

While speaking, more than 60 large engines, medium-engine boats, and small steamers loaded with Type 95 light tanks, baggage ammunition, and infantry had already set off from their sortie positions on the ocean and rushed towards the coastline of Jinshanwei, which was more than 10 miles long.

……

At this time, the Jinshanwei coastal defense position has been blown into a burning purgatory!

"Don't move, get down for me!" Zhong Yi opened his mouth and roared loudly.

In the next moment, a 25Kg bomb landed not far away and exploded.

Due to the cover of the trenches, Zhong Yi was able to avoid the killing of the fragments, but the explosion set off the hot mixed sand, rolled up and fell all over the sky, and the head and face covered Zhong Yi's body, but he couldn't dodge it.

At that moment, Zhong Yi was so hot that he grinned, and a lot of mud and sand were stuffed into his open mouth.

"Phew!" Zhong Yi struggled to spit out the mud and sand in his mouth, ignoring his numb tongue, and continued to roar at the people who were scurrying around in front of him, "Get down, get down!" ”

Recruits are afraid of artillery, let alone these people?

As soon as the Devil Warship began to bombard, these people immediately became chaotic, like headless flies, instinctively scurrying around in various trenches, and some even rushed outside the trenches, only to be either blown to pieces by shells or smashed into a sieve by the heavy machine guns of the Devil fighters.

Another devil fighter swooped down, and the two heavy machine guns under the wing opened fire fiercely, pulling out two eye-catching smoke and dust bands on the ground, and the two people who were scurrying around on the position were instantly beaten into a sieve, and then continued to run forward a few steps under the action of inertia, and then fell to the ground with a slump.

"This is the cannon fodder!" The prince spat out the mud and sand in his mouth, and said in a muffled voice, "It's useless! ”

"It's useful or not, you can only know if you have beaten it!" Zhong Yi said coldly, "Camp Commander Wang, don't rush to conclusions if you haven't tried something!" Otherwise, it hurts to slap your face! ”

The prince was stunned, but didn't say anything more.

After half an hour, the devil's indiscriminate bombardment finally came to an end.

The explosions gradually stopped, but the screams resounded in the air.

When I looked around, I saw that the entire position had been blown up into potholes, as if it had been plowed over again! Between the chaotic craters and trenches, there were lying one after another Minzhuang's remains, although there were not many of them, but the shape was quite terrifying, because many of Minzhuang's bodies had been blown to pieces.

More people were blown to the ground and wailed.

The health team is small, and they are already busy!

Zhong Yi paid close attention to the people who were not injured, and they all looked a little glazed, but their emotions were quite stable, at least they were not intimidated by the hellish scene in front of them.

Looks like the previous killing training worked!

At this moment, a hysterical voice suddenly sounded: "Devil! Little devil! ”

Zhong Yi turned his head sharply, and saw that a devil officer in a tweed military uniform was already standing on the sea pond, and in the next moment, the devil officer raised his saber and waved it vigorously to this side, and the black and suppressed devil infantry immediately appeared behind the sea pond, one by one with a good bayonet, and rushed towards their position with a roar.

Zhong Yi roughly estimated that there were at least more than a thousand devil infantry in front of Haiyue Nunnery!

"All of them, ready to fight!" The next moment, Zhong Yi immediately roared hysterically.

The veterans of the 3rd Battalion immediately jumped up, kicked with their feet, and even smashed them with the butts of their guns, driving the stunned people sitting in the trenches into the battle positions, and in an instant, thousands of figures appeared in the broken trenches.

……

The thousands of figures that suddenly appeared scared Yanagawa Heisuke and Tanabe Moritake.

Because at this time, the smoke of gunpowder that permeated the coastal defense position had dispersed, so the two old devils could see it very clearly on the sounding balloon more than 100 meters high.

"Nani?" Yanagawa Heisuke Huo Ran got up from behind the high-powered telescope, his face full of disbelief, "Where did the Zhina Army get so many people?" ”

After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said hatefully: "Not to mention that there are more than 3,000 people, almost two regiments!" ”

Tanabe Moritake's face was also embarrassed, and he roared angrily: "Could it be that the reinforcements have arrived?" ”

"Reinforcements?" Yanagawa Heisuke opened his mouth and felt a trace of bitterness, "Damn, come to reinforcements at this time?" ”

"I really didn't expect the reinforcements from China to arrive so soon!" Moritake Tanabe said, "It seems that today's beach-grabbing landing will not be too smooth, and there will be another fierce battle!" ”
