Chapter 13: The Bloody Battle in a Small Town (Revision)
Watch Iron Wing Eagle Yang Chapter 13 The Bloody Battle of the Small Town (Revision) As soon as the group of planes attacking Kagoshima left the combat area, Tang Yunyang's radio jamming and deception against Japan immediately began. 【n Look】
According to the plan, the Japanese army division near Matsuyama received an order to immediately move to Hachiman City. In addition to taking into account the need to hold German prisoners of war, the deployment of an army division here is also the duty to protect the industrial base of Kyushu.
It was this Japanese Army that posed a considerable threat to the troops of the Air Assault Battalion that were about to be airborne near Matsuyama. Attempts to rescue German prisoners of war could be significantly affected if they were interfered with.
Therefore, they were transferred to the vicinity of Hachimanhama Port for defensive operations with false orders in advance, because there would be a landing attack by German troops.
Although the officer leading the team did not understand why this was the case, why the transport ships were not used. But the telegram he sent out was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no response at all.
In desperation, at 7:00 a.m., the Japanese Army stationed near Matsuyama began to move by road in the direction of Hachiman. The suspicious Japanese officers left an infantry regiment near Matsuyama to assist the infantry in the defense of the Matsuyama Military Prison.
And all this did not escape the eyes of the "eagle eye" in the sky, nor did it escape Tang Yunyang's gaze.
"Look, they're on the move, so many wagons, and the maneuverability of the Japanese army is really low to be believed."
Indeed, on the European battlefield, the German light infantry marched, in addition to cars and carriages, ordinary infantry also had a large number of bicycles. Of course, on muddy roads, this vehicle can become a kind of burden.
However, once on the road, the theoretical speed of ordinary infantry can reach 15~20 kilometers per hour.
Of course, Japan is a mountainous terrain, and using a bicycle can be a completely inappropriate means of transportation. But when facing the road, there is no vehicle to assist, and it cannot but be said to be a shortcoming.
"Well, since they're too slow, we're going to whip these lazy asses! Command the Marines can act! ”
This is the most critical point of this raid operation, and the port of Hachimanhama will be captured by the marines, creating the illusion of a large-scale attack by the German ** team, forcing the main force of the Japanese army in the north to rush to the port of Hachimanhama.
With Tang Yunyang's order, the cruisers and destroyers that had already broken into the Bungo Waterway, the marines began to prepare for landing.
Soldiers on the side of the ship, along the undulating water, descended the rope to the boat. Although these small ships are not equipped with any weapons, this does not affect anything.
Because Hachimanhama was a civilian port, there were no warships at all, except for some fishing boats.
The guns of the cruisers and destroyers slowly raised, and they aimed at Yawata Castle, which was almost unprepared for war. One by one, the members of the Marines huddled in the dinghy prepared their weapons or stuck their heads out to look at the place where they were about to land.
The dinghy bounced forward in the waves, its stern trailing with white trails. And all this was not hidden from the Japanese troops stationed nearby.
On the coast, stationed here is the 1123rd Brigade of the Japanese Coast Guard, with a complete combat strength of about 900 people. At this moment they had already discovered the attack from the sea, and under the command of the captain of the Shaozo brigade, they had already seized the commanding heights nearby. Although they could not control the entire city, their firepower was already completely able to control the vicinity of the port.
At the same time, the Infantry Brigade used a telephone to alert his own higher command, which of course was limited to that. As for the radio side, it is already difficult to believe and count on under interference at this time.
Although the firepower of this force was not strong, the 900-strong force was only equipped with five heavy machine guns, two mortars, and two infantry guns. As for this Mr. Shaozo, it seems that he is also a competent commander, and the troops on the high ground are well arranged.
The circular line of infantry defended the four well-protected guns in the center of the position. They knew they didn't have the money to fight a cruiser, but their guns could deal a devastating blow to enemy boats attacking the harbor.
Japan, originally an island country, supposedly should pay attention to the development of its navy and air force. However, it may be influenced by the ideas or resources of the Continental Army, regardless of the strength of their navy and air force, they are always unsatisfactory.
However, it is also worth mentioning that the Japanese are not as well equipped as Western countries. Amazingly, they were able to defeat the American and British forces near the South Seas at the beginning of World War II.
Although it cannot be ruled out that the United States and Britain lost their naval and air superiority in the whole of Southeast Asia at that time, the strength of the Japanese Army is also a fact that is obvious to all.
It's a pity that the army of Thunder International they have encountered now is much stronger than his combat ability.
As the landing boat dragged its track toward the harbor of Hachiman Castle, the exact coordinates of the ever-present "Hawkeye" from the sky were reported to the commander of the cruiser and destroyer who were supporting.
With an order, the cruiser's twin 152-mm guns began to speak, providing artillery cover for the marines, who were already approaching the coast for landing.
"Boom ......"
The shells of the 152-mm guns of the cruiser and the 125-mm guns of the destroyer whistled in the air, as if they had eyes, and went straight to the well-sheltered main Japanese position established at the top of the high ground.
"Enemy artillery fire...... Pay attention to the anti-artillery ...... Cast a smoke screen ......! ”
Commander Shaozo shouted loudly, and one by one the Japanese infantry retreated to their bunkers. More soldiers took refuge in deep, log-covered bomb holes. At the same time, the artillery was also retracted into a special construction for them, with logs as a roof concealment.
Thick smoke rose from the smoke canisters placed in the upper wind, and the entire Japanese position was covered in smoke. From the eagle's eye in the sky, there is nothing to be seen.
As the shells approached, the Japanese soldiers in charge of observation shrank into the trenches and gritted their teeth. To endure the bombardment of naval artillery is the most unpleasant thing to do.
"Boom...... The earth trembled and trembled like a small boat in a toss, in danger of capsizing at any moment in the furious sea.
The Marines who were telling the coast more and more about the sea suddenly felt a little relieved when they looked at the columns of smoke that had been blown up high on the small high ground. Large-caliber naval artillery support plays a real role in comforting the psychology of Marine Corps soldiers.
One by one, the Japanese soldiers in the position arched out of the empty earth of the bombed-out trenches, and some of them were shocked to the point that their ears were bleeding shocking blood. However, the infantry were not very afraid of the naval fire of the enemy army. After all, when these things are at a considerable distance, the accuracy will be greatly disturbed.
At present, because our own position is still under the cover of a smoke screen, it will have a great impact on the enemy's air shooting, and the shelling is no longer a fatal thing.
At this time, the infantry brigade was quite frustrated to find that because the smoke screen was put down a little late, both infantry guns were buried in the concealment part when the enemy was bombarded, so that he could not carry out intensive fire preparations when the enemy landed.
Fortunately, light weapons such as machine guns and mortars were all taken into anti-artillery holes with their operators, so they suffered little damage.

"Immediately prepare machine guns and mortars, and send people to dig out the infantry guns!"
The hoarse and exhausted Japanese infantry brigade shouted loudly, arranged the defense, and picked up the binoculars to look at the harbor below.
The dinghy, which was jolting in the waves, came to shore, and groups of soldiers, armed with weapons in their hands, quickly jumped down from the boat, guns raised, and guarded the surroundings.
"Ready...... Prepare ......"
At a distance of more than 500 meters, the accurate range of a rifle may be a little far, but it has entered the range of machine gun and mortar fire.
"Put!"
With the order of the Japanese infantry brigade, the five machine guns of the small plateau were fired like five fire dragons, and the two mortars also fired together according to the predetermined coordinates.
The Marines are well trained and react very quickly. But the thing that can't be avoided is that they are completely a bunch of recruits who have not been officially baptized in battle.
When a machine-gun bullet whizzes past you, or hits a nearby sea water with a "chirping" sound. Mortar shells also came from the sky, emitting a piercing scream, and landed near the dinghy on the pier.
Although the power of the assault mortars is not comparable to the power of the 120-mm mortars owned by the Marines themselves, their lethality is obviously not weak.
The soldiers lay nervously on the ground, and the scattered formation that had been trained was almost completely forgotten in the tension. Many soldiers raised their submachine guns and M-1 short assault rifles in their hands, and fired fiercely at the place where the guns were fired.
It was at this time that the guns and mortar fire inflicted the first casualties on the Marines.
Chen Bin saw with his own eyes that several soldiers who were about to shoot and run inland were machine-gunfired, and their bodies twitched for the last moment in the rain of bullets.
"Mobile...... Fast...... Don't run loose...... Hurry up...... Hurry up......! ”
Chen Bin bent over and shouted loudly, he knew that he had to bring his men inland from here. If there is a house there, the lethality of the enemy's machine guns will be reduced.
Moreover, the landing place of the harbor must be vacated immediately, and the small ships of the second wave of landing will soon be ashore.
"Follow me...... Don't shoot...... It's too far! ”
He shouted as he dragged the soldiers around him and ran with him towards the city. As he moved, more soldiers came to their senses and ran with him into the nearby streets.
