Chapter 402: Defense

Motota Nakachi finally obeyed Kuribayashi Tadamichi's orders and retreated to the 382nd Heights. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is not to say that Motota Nakachi is determined to obey Kuribayashi Tadamichi's command...... The enmity between the Japanese Navy and the Army was not a matter of a day or two, and it was not something that could be easily resolved and united.

The reason why Motota Nakachi retreated was only because he had not mustered up enough courage to launch the "Banzai Charge" at this time...... Some things are easy to remember, but it's another thing to do.

In fact, Kuribayashi Tadamichi's order to retreat was not entirely a "high wind and a bright festival" in the hope of saving the lives of Motota Nakachi and the Marine Corps...... Of course, there was also an intention to save the lives of these Japanese soldiers, and Kuribayashi Tadamichi knew very well that at this time they had a common strong enemy, so no matter how big the internal contradictions were, they must also put it down first, simply put, unite all the forces that can be united, so that at least they can kill and injure some more enemies.

More importantly, however, Kuribayashi hoped that Motota Nakachi's retreat would draw the Chinese troops to his preset trap, the airfield...... Kuribayashi Tadamichi thought that the Chinese troops would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and bite Motoda Nakachi's tail all the way to the 382 Heights, and to reach the 382 Heights, they had to cross the No. 1 airfield, so Kuribayashi Tadamichi could kill and injure a large number of Chinese troops.

In this way, it can be said that it can kill and injure the living forces of the Chinese army and hit its morale, and it can also increase the morale of its own troops by virtue in the first war, and by the way, it can also save the life of Motoda Nakatsu and sell the navy again.

It can also be seen from this that Kuribayashi Tadamichi's old scheming is far from being comparable to Motota Nakatsu.

But......

Kuribayashi Tadamichi was soon disappointed, because in his binoculars, he was surprised to see that the Chinese army was not pursuing, but was holding out on the beach.

"What's going on?" Tadamichi Kuribayashi said to himself, "This is not like their style! ”

Yoshitaka Horie replied, "Maybe they want to gain a foothold on the shore, so wait!" ”

"Hmm!" Kuribayashi nodded.

The Chinese army on the other side is also in trouble.

This "trouble" did not refer to the resistance of the Japanese army, to Wu Yuhang's surprise, the landing was much simpler than he imagined, although from time to time there were Japanese light weapons and machine gun bullets constantly flying on the beach, and occasionally mortar shells blew up the sand on the beach, but he hardly saw any fortifications of the Japanese army that could resist the advance of the troops...... Most of them were blown up in the previous bombardment, and there were still a few pillboxes occasionally, but these pillboxes were also quickly blown up by fighters under the cover and coordination of amphibious landing vehicles.

The trouble here refers to the fact that the landing site is full of fine sand, and the "Donald Duck" or "Sherman" tank has just come ashore and is stuck on the shore because of its heavy weight.

Wu Yuhang reported the situation to Zhang Chi as soon as possible.

Originally, Wu Yuhang also hoped that Zhang Chi would send some bulldozers and a team of sappers to open a way for those tanks, but Zhang Chi shouted anxiously on the other end of the microphone: "Leave those tanks alone, immediately organize defense and prepare for anti-artillery!" ”

After a pause, Zhang Chi asked again: "Have you reported your location?" ”

"Report!" Wu Yuhang replied.

"Report the position of the front and both wings!" Zhang Chi explained: "Complete the test launch in the dismantling time!" ”

"Yes!" Wu Yuhang responded.

Wu Yuhang really didn't understand why Shizuo was so nervous, and at the same time, he didn't understand why Shizuo didn't allow him to pursue but organize defense...... Looking at the way the devil fled just now, he never believed that the devil was a fake defeat. If you can follow the devil all the way under the cover of the amphibious landing vehicle, how enjoyable it will be for Sensei.

But Wu Yuhang finally suppressed this idea, and then organized the defense and fortifications according to Zhang Chi's order.

The good thing about the beach is that the fortifications are easy to build, and a trench is dug in a few clicks. Of course, there are pros and cons, such a fortification can easily be blown down, and the bottom half of the body is buried in the infiltrated sea water as soon as you jump into this trench, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

So Wu Yuhang once again doubted Zhang Chi's order in his heart...... This is definitely not a good defensive position, not to mention the fact that tanks cannot maneuver, and people in the trenches will also have difficulty moving because of the seawater, in addition to the fact that weapons and equipment are also prone to problems due to moisture, water, sand, etc.

In fact, this is not a good defensive position, because the back of the army is the ocean with no way out, so it can be said to be a dead place.

However, there is often no such thing as "absolutely correct" in military matters, and in different conditions and environments, there are often unexpected changes, such as Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, which is not a taboo for soldiers.

At this time, Wu Yuhang's heart was full of emotions, after all, this subordinate was his thousands of brothers, and he was responsible for their lives, so he gritted his teeth and wanted to contact Zhang Chi again to request an attack or transfer of positions.

Just then there was a roar overhead, and then the shells slammed down on the beach with a sharp whistling. Wu Yuhang only had time to shout "get down", and then the shells blew up the beach like a pot of porridge......

At this time, Wu Yuhang understood why those orders under Zhang Chi were...... In fact, the Japanese did not have no artillery, nor did they have the strength to fight back, but they were waiting for the best time.

Now, the Japanese apparently decided that they could not wait for the best time, so they had to open fire.

Wu Yuhang was right, when Kuribayashi Tadamichi waited for a while and found that the Chinese troops did not continue to land and did not intend to continue advancing, he had no choice but to order the artillery to be fired.

Although the artillery fire did blow up the beach to pieces, Kuribayashi knew that the bombardment would not have much effect, because Chinese was ready, and even the Chinese fighters hovering in the air swooped down to drop a barrage of bombs...... The Japanese artillery fire also exposed its position at the same time as the artillery fired, which is actually killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800, and it is even possible to kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000.

"What went wrong?!" Kuribayashi Tadadochi, who put down the binoculars, said sullenly: "How can the Chinese know about our plan!" Is our plan leaking? Or do we have spies?! ”

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Yoshitaka Horie replied, "It's impossible for the plan to leak the news, because only you and I know, and of course there can be no spies...... I think it may be that the Chinese have seen something from the deployment of our anti-aircraft guns! ”

Kuribayashi Tadado couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard this...... If the Chinese see something from the deployment of anti-aircraft guns, then this opponent is too terrible.
