"What a fluke!" Hearing that the Huaxia Marines landed in Wakasa Bay, Japan, with relatively few casualties, Meng Xiang's hanging heart was slightly relieved.

Although Huaxia's scientific and technological personnel have made breakthroughs in integrated circuits and lasers, the lack of satellite technology still cannot further expand the scope of the sub-base.

The sub-base that was relocated to the Taebaku Mountains of the Korean Peninsula in order to attack Japan only covered the Tottori and Okayama areas of Japan, but could not support Wakasa Bay. The sub-base in Hokkaido only covers Sendai, making it difficult to support it to the south.

And now the several targets within the direct jurisdiction of the sub-base make Meng Xiang feel that they are not ideal, and they cannot achieve the effect of directly hitting Japan's soft underbelly, and he will waste this surprise attack opportunity that the Japanese feel surprised.

Looking at the map and the intelligence introduction of each region, Meng Xiang felt that it was better to go straight to the core area of Japan.

However, in order to prevent a surprise attack by the Americans, the Japanese Navy has been operating for many years, and the defense of the two core areas of Tokyo Bay and Osaka Bay is extremely tight, and it is difficult to take advantage of the loopholes. Moreover, the ability to sustain operations and transport is still somewhat difficult for the Huaxia Navy.

And because the Soviet and Russian navies have always held a defensive posture, and there was previously the cover of the puppet Manchurians and North Korea, Japan's defense on the Whale Sea side is not very strong.

The Japanese were also more convinced that their fleet could defeat the nascent Chinese navy, and the Japanese, who had devoted their energy to the offensive, did not invest much in the construction of the long Whale Sea defense line, but had many loopholes.

However, if China attacks the main island of Japan, in addition to the springboard of Hokkaido and Kyushu Island at the beginning and end, it will attack from the vast whale sea and directly hit the flank ribs of the small Japanese reptile, and special attention needs to be paid to the hidden dangers of the three protrusions of the Oki Islands, Sado Island, or Noto Peninsula.

Of course, if they are arranged, these three places are also a good springboard for attacking the main island of Japan.

After careful comparison, Meng Xiang combined the opinions of the General Staff and chose to use the Oki Islands as a springboard to capture Wakasa Bay.

The Oki Islands, the former island of exile, had the glory of being one of Japan's eight continents and the Oki Kingdom. But after all, it is located in the middle of nowhere, and under the temptation of modern civilization and the influence of inconvenient transportation at this time, the population here is still not very large, and there are many inaccessible places. It is easy to set up two barracks and a logistics equipment center on top of the sub-base.

When Huaxia's fleet sailed through most of the Whale Sea from Kiyojin and Wonsan, the clone soldiers, who suddenly attacked from within, swept across the Oki Islands, and with the help of the clone spies, they maintained contact with the rest of the island. They didn't pay attention to the anomaly for at least a few days.

And only a day later, the long-distance Chinese fleet had reached Wakasa Bay.

When the pirate and Avenger torpedo groups on the aircraft carriers Shushan and Taishan in the fleet flew to the military port of Maizuru City and launched an attack smoothly, there was nothing left to stop the landing of the Huaxia army.

"Quick! Let's set up the improvised dock first! With the sound of the guns of the cruisers and destroyers, Chen Jiahui loudly urged the marines.

In addition to the ports where the warships are attacking, there are also places where the conditions are right to establish a beachhead advantage.

As soon as the hatch of the LST tank landing ship opened, the PT-76 amphibious tanks ran over the rattling beach that had been bombed and cleared by the pirates to seize the beachhead, and then the LCM6 mechanized landing craft sailed out of the dock landing ship and began to erect the components of the improvised dock.

With one armored vehicle after another driving into the sea. Along the beachhead, all kinds of pre-assembled components are skillfully disembarked by a group of engineers who have disembarked from landing ships or LVT amphibious landing armored vehicles. It quickly became a simple dock. Although it was not possible to dock large warships, it was enough for the 1,000-ton L** medium landing ship to come over and drop the Panther tanks and T-34/85 tanks on board.

Without the proximity of the sub-bases, the effectiveness of the Rhino and Grizzly Bears was greatly reduced, but even the average medium tank was enough to sweep through the internal defenses of the Japanese, and there were quite a few large-caliber self-propelled guns following, which was enough to attack the fortifications.

The PT-76 amphibious landing tank swept horizontally along the beach to expand the landing space. The Panthers and T-34s, on the other hand, quickly organized themselves and were accompanied by multi-purpose armored fighting vehicles. Head to the surrounding ports, wharves, and towns that have already been demarcated.

The nearby Maizuru Port is now in dire straits.

As the flagship of this landing, the Dingyuan, a third-class dreadnought battleship that departed from Vladivostok, led two Demoin-class heavy cruises, assisted by bombshell attacks by pirates in the air. The unhurried firing had completely suppressed the somewhat outdated coastal defense artillery around the Maizuru Military Port.

Although the battleship and the shore defense artillery are bombarded, in the case of almost the same class, the battleship is prone to losses. However, most of those shore defense guns were disassembled after the retirement of early battleships, and they could not compete with the 500 mm caliber naval guns of the third-class dreadnought battleships. Even the 55 times the diameter of the 203-mm naval gun of the MK16 type of the De Moin-class heavy cruiser, with a high rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute of a single gun, was enough to suppress the Japanese shore fire resistance.

If it weren't for Huaxia's desire to plunder the equipment of Maizuru Port to the greatest extent, Maizuru Port would have been bombarded into ruins by these naval guns.

Before the merger in 43, Higashi-Maizuru, one of the Maizuru cities, produced the battleships Nagato and Mutsu. Although the shipbuilding equipment here is not the most advanced, the huge scale accumulated over the years is enough to make Meng Xiang covet.

Although it is one of the few military towns nearby, it has no power to fight back in the face of China's powerful sea and air forces.

The battleships gathered in the military port were unceremoniously sunk by the pirates and avengers in the air and the guns of the Huaxia warships in the distance.

And except for one light cruiser, even 3 destroyers are simply not enough to be beaten by the 12 Huaxia Keeling-class destroyers that attack with them, not to mention those small gunboats and torpedo boats, and even only 20 machine guns of the pirates can sink the patrol gunboats of the devils.

The Japanese had a weak air defense, allowing the pirates to attack with impunity.

The more than two dozen fighters stationed nearby in a hurry were quickly knocked down by pirates and hellcats before they could figure out how many opponents there were.

Japan now lacks not only skilled pilots, but also high-performance combat aircraft. As soon as the new aircraft left the factory, they were directly transferred to the front line, and even those that remained on the island were mostly deployed in the core area and key areas.

Although Maizuru is a military town, it is still worse than the military center bordering China, and the few advanced fighters nearby have just been transferred to Kyushu Island to relieve the siege.

The Japanese fighters farther away could not take care of Maizuru, and when the Chinese landed in Wakasa Bay, the sky over the main island of Japan was once again covered with clouds of Chinese heavy bombers.

The B-29 and B-17 fleets only wreaked havoc in some of Japan's most important military locations before fighter jets from the main Japanese island were nervously lifted into the air to intercept the air passage to Tokyo and other places.

Against the backdrop of the sweep of Kyushu Island and Hokkaido's Huaxia tank army, not many people have yet to react to the attack here in Maizuru for the time being.

The Maizuru garrison, which can only rely on itself for the time being, is only left to wait.

When more than 100 armored tanks organized by Huaxia rushed over to support, the Japanese army was able to catch the target that could be attacked.

"Destroy them!" Major General Tadaichi Sato, who was guarding Maizuru, ran out of the semi-underground fortress headquarters with a chrysanthemum knife given by Hirohito, shouting loudly for the soldiers who were being bombed everywhere to come out and fight back.

For the Chinese fighters in the air and the Chinese warships in the sea, it is difficult for them to fight back, and they can only be beaten passively, but they should always be able to hit on land, right?

The frenzied aura of the defenders in and around the harbor erupted, rushing towards the armored tanks that were rolling in smoke and dust.

"Da Da Da!" Through the roar of the engines, rows of 12.7 mm machine gun bullets and 20 mm machine gun shells screamed, accompanied by a dazzling golden light, quickly swept over all the moving objects exposed outside the bunker, and then only the blood mist was left in the sky.

Tadaichi Sato's command knife was shattered by a 20-mm cannon shell swept from a multi-purpose combat vehicle that rushed up, carrying more than a dozen pieces of chrysanthemum knife fragments, completely splitting its owner.

"Cannon, artillery support!" A group of Japanese soldiers hiding in the fortifications screamed loudly.

But most of the large-caliber artillery around was silenced by the pirates and Huaxia's naval guns. Even with a few remaining, it was difficult to hit an active tank. They had no choice but to use all the light weapons in their hands to fight back.

This group of recruits still doesn't understand that there is a difference between tanks and tanks, and their thoughts always stop at the concept of the Japanese Peeon Tank.

They took turns blocking the onslaught of the Iron Warriors with the weapons in their hands, and even did not hesitate to launch flesh bomb attacks, but except for the lucky ones who stopped the damage of the tank tracks, the attacks of those light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers and even 70 infantry guns were ignored by the armor of the Iron Warriors who crossed Europe. Instead, it attracted a series of tanks to raise 76 mm or 75 mm tank guns to fight back. (To be continued.)
