Chapter 20: The Bamboo Nail Mighty

The devil who grabbed the beach didn't think too much, shouted and loaded it, and then turned over the side of the boat and jumped into the sea!

But the next moment, a scream rang out on the beach that was more than two kilometers long!

With the screams one after another, the devil soldiers who had just jumped over the side of the ship into the sea fell down one by one and fell into the turbid water!

According to conservative estimates, at least fifty devils fell into the water!

After seeing this sudden scene, Yanagawa Heisuke and Tanabe Moritake were instantly stunned again!

"Yaga Yaru!" Tanabe Moritake was dumbfounded, "What's the matter?" What's going on? ”

Yanagawa Heisuke is also at a loss, what is the situation? There were no defenders shooting on the sea pond, so why did these dozens of imperial warriors suddenly fall?

Ambush in the water? It can't be!

The two old devils were instantly confused.

But the fourth group of devils who had already gone ashore did not dare to hesitate, because it was too dangerous to stay here!

In addition to the dozens of little devils who fell, the remaining little devils immediately held the 38 big cover with bayonets on, stepped on the mud that did not reach the root of their thighs, and struggled to pounce on the sea pond 500 meters ahead.

But the next moment, without warning, these little devils fell on the mudflats screaming one after another!

After falling to the ground, these devils threw away the 38 big covers, hugged their left or right feet and screamed, all with extremely painful expressions on their faces!

"What's the situation?!"

"What's going on?!"

Yanagawa Heisuke subconsciously took a step forward and was almost about to climb over the guardrail.

Moritake Tanabe's face was even more sluggish, and his brain was completely dead!

Moritake Tanabe has always felt that he is very smart, but now, he feels more and more that his brain is not enough!

It was the bystander of Toyoda Vice Takeshi who first discovered the clue and said: "Yanagakawa-kun, Tanabe-kun, there is an ambush in the tidal flats!" It is likely that the Chinese army sprinkled a large amount of thistle terrestris beforehand! ”

"Tribulus terrestris?!" Yanagawa Heisuke and Tanabe Moritake were stunned at first, and then shocked!

Just when the two old devils looked at each other in shock, more devils fell down screaming and fell on the beach!

In just a moment, less than 100 meters forward, a small half of the devils had already fallen on the tidal flats!

Can you imagine how many people will fall when the devils advance to the sea pond? Or how many are left?

All of a sudden, Yanagawa Heisuke was in a dilemma, should he continue to grab the beach? Or stop?

Just when Yanagawa Heisuke was hesitating, the figure of the Chinese Jun team suddenly appeared on the pond in front of him.

Hundreds of Chinese soldiers crawled onto the pond and immediately fell on the ruined pond, holding rifles and shooting at the Japanese soldiers who were stuck in the mudflats.

Due to the relatively long distance, the hit rate of the Chinese soldiers was not high.

But it still posed a serious threat to the Japanese troops who grabbed the beach!

Because the Japanese army trapped in the mud had no way to dodge!

The Japanese could only lie down on the tidal flats and shoot at Guojun.

All of a sudden, the fourth wave of Japanese troops who grabbed the beach fell into great passivity!

Moritake Tanabe looked at Yanagawa Heisuke and asked, "Your Excellency Commander, what now?" ”

Fine beads of sweat have oozed from Yanagawa Heisuke's head, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while!

However, when his gaze swept over the battlefields on the left and right flanks, a touch of deep anxiety immediately swept through the depths of his eyes, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe that the Chinese army has so many thistles that can sprinkle the entire beach!" Order, the 6th Division and the Kunisaki detachment continue to seize the beach, at all costs, be sure to open the gap within half an hour! ”

"Hello!" Tanabe Moritake paused heavily and turned to go.

……

Haiwsu-an, a forward observation post.

Wang Zilong's forward observation post has a good view, and you can clearly see the scene that is being played out on the tidal flats.

Seeing the devils screaming and falling one after another, Wang Zilong felt not only happy, but also deeply ashamed.

This person is really incomparable, for example, in the face of the pressure of the devil's army, he Wang Zilong only thought of swinging out on the sea pond and defending it with all his might! Don't think much about anything else!

But Zhong Yi has so many ghost ideas!

The fortifications are built one thousand meters behind the sea pond, and there are these kilometers of bamboo nail arrays, which is especially amazing!

It costs almost nothing to bury bamboo nails in the tidal flats of Jinshanwei, but with the mud of the tidal flats, the threat that can be caused to the devils is not at all under the six mountain cannons!

It is worthy of returning from abroad, and it is not okay if you don't accept it!

Wang Zilong let out a sigh, looked further, and found that the devil did not give up, but still tried to seize the beach!

Watching the teams of devils struggle forward, and howl and fall on the beach, the corners of Wang Zilong's mouth couldn't help but bloom a cold arc: The devil is looking for death!

……

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Yanagawa Heisuke's face has turned black to the bottom of the pot!

The troops of the 18th Division on both flanks were about to be unable to hold on, but the Kunisaki Detachment and the 4th Wave of the 6th Division still made no progress!

The mud on the tidal flats and the unknown spikes in the mud caused serious obstacles to the Japanese army! It made it almost impossible for the Japanese army's beach-grabbing troops to move an inch!

Looking at the soldiers who fell on the mudflats and wailed loudly, Yanagawa Heisuke's teeth were about to be crushed!

Tanabe Moritake walked up to Yanagawa Heisuke's side and whispered, "Your Excellency, Commander, until the unknown threat in the mud is eliminated, I am afraid that it will be impossible to land on the beach!" Moreover, the 18th Division is about to be unable to support it on both flanks, so it is better to dispatch landing craft to bring the troops back first, right? ”

Yanagawa Heisuke was silent, and reason told him that he would not gain anything except for greater losses, but let him give up the beach landing like this, but he was really unwilling! Because once it is abandoned, it means that before dawn tomorrow, it will be impossible for the Tenth Army to set foot on Jinshanwei again!

This means that the landing of the 10th Army will be delayed by one day than originally planned!

It may sound like nothing for a day, but for a war, the impact is decisive!

In just one day, it is very likely that the plan formulated by the Japanese army base camp to encircle and annihilate the main force of more than 700,000 national juns in the western part of Shanghai will come to naught!

But the question is, what if you are unwilling?

Unwilling to let 70,000 imperial warriors put on wings and fly to Jinshanwei?

Unwilling to let the ammunition and heavy equipment of the Tenth Army go ashore?

After struggling for a while, Yanagawa Heisuke finally said to Deputy Toyoda: "Toyoda-kun, please immediately dispatch landing craft to bring back the beach-grabbing troops of the Kunisaki Detachment, the Sixth Division, and the Eighteenth Division." ”

"Hello!" Deputy Toyoda nodded slightly, and waved his hand at the adjutant behind him.

Immediately afterwards, nearly 100 landing craft of the Fourth Fleet turned around on the spot, first sending the fifth group of beach-grabbing troops on the boats back to the transport ships, and then turning back to meet the fourth group of troops that had already landed!
