Luo Yue looked at his watch, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the morning, and the landing on the beach had been going on for more than two hours, but it was already November at this time, and the days were short and the nights were long, so there were still nearly 2 hours before dawn. The army on the shore had reached 4 battalions, and the engineers had begun to build temporary trestle bridges, and Luo Yue also estimated that the fleet attacking the port of Zhennanpu should also enter the combat position at this time.

At this moment, Luo Yue received a communication from the fleet attacking the port of Zhennanpu, and they had indeed reached the combat position and could launch an attack, because they did not know how the landing on the seashore was going, so they confirmed it with Luo Yue.

Luo Yue immediately replied that everything was going well for the landing on the seaside, and the port side could attack immediately. So the 4 armored cruisers immediately opened fire together and bombarded the batteries on the shore.

The main reason why armored cruisers were sent into the Datong River to participate in the attack on Zhennanpu instead of battleships was because the armored cruisers were flexible in their operations, and although the Datong River was wide, it was not as wide as the sea after all, and the battleships fought in the river channel, and after all, some of them could not be used.

Moreover, the caliber of the main guns of armored cruisers, although not inferior to battleships, also reached 200 mm, which is considered a large-caliber gun on land, and the rate of fire is faster, and the fire projection per unit time is not bad.

In terms of protection, armored cruisers are certainly not as good as battleships, but there are a total of 4 batteries in Zhennanpu Port, each of which is equipped with 4 88 mm guns and 2 105 mm guns, and such a firepower configuration is enough for armored cruisers.

4 armored cruisers, 24 200 mm guns and 24 155 mm guns can fire at the same time, the firepower is also considerable, each warship corresponds to a gun mount, and 4 destroyers also use the bow of the 105 mm guns to fire on the shore, for a time the cannon roared, the sound of the night sky. Every fort was covered in a roaring blast.

In fact, the garrison of Nanpu Port was quite lax, and only a small number of soldiers were left on the fort, not even the artillery on duty at night, so although the KPA warships had to go through 2 or 3 rounds of calibration before they could accurately hit the fort, in this short period of time, there was no counterattack on the fort at all.

After more than 10 minutes of shelling, the explosions caused by the explosions on all four forts lit up the sky, illuminating the night sky and pointing out the direction for the KPA. At this time, all the armored cruisers also stopped shelling, and the two landing ships were at full speed and rushed to the shore and beach.

The defenders of Zhennanpu Port had a Japanese brigade and a Korean regiment, about 4,000 people, which was not a small number of troops, but at this time there were only a small number of soldiers who were keeping vigil, and everyone else was sleeping in the dormitory. Although I was awakened by the sound of shelling, it still took time to get up and the whole team. In fact, Zhennanpu Port is not an important port in South Korea, most of the ships that arrived on the Korean Peninsula were berthed at Busan or Incheon Port, and there were not many ships berthed at Zhennansanpo Port, and after the East China Government obtained the right to control the sea, in recent months, almost no ships have berthed at Punanpu Port, and the entire port is almost completely suspended, so the army guarding the port has naturally slackened a lot, and it is not expected that the People's Army will land from Zhennanpu Port tonight.

As a result, by the time the soldiers of the Japanese and ROK armies got up, hurriedly dressed themselves, and took out their weapons to arrive, the KPA had already completed the first batch of landings, and had set up positions near the landing sites, set up mortars and grenadiers, and were ready for battle.

Seeing the arrival of the Japanese and South Korean troops, the KPA immediately opened fire, first of all, mortar and grenadier canisters, and although it was still dark at night, a lot of flames had already ignited in the port, so it was still possible to avoid strong aiming at a close range of 2 or 300 meters. Of course, at this time, there is no pursuit of accurate shelling, as long as the position of the shells is good, and the main thing is to rely on the number of shells to win.

Sure enough, in a round of fire by the KPA, some of the shells fell into the Japanese and South Korean armies and exploded, and although most of the shells failed to fall into the opposite position, they also caused a lot of momentum, and then the KPA's various guns opened fire, and the Japanese and South Korean troops suddenly suffered a large number of casualties.

The garrison at the port is the second of the Japanese and South Korean armies. The third-line army is basically just recruited or selected from the peasants and civilian service, and there is not even a month of training, and the gun has not even been touched a few times, and some soldiers do not have guns at all, because the shipping line is cut off, and the materials from Japan cannot be transported, and South Korea basically has no modern industry, and cannot produce weapons, and the South Korean army has only one rifle in a squad, and all the soldiers use it during training, and because the number of bullets is limited, the training can not fire a few shots, so most of the Korean soldiers still use spears, and the Japanese army is better, at least one gun can be guaranteed, but each person can only be equipped with one*, that is, 6 bullets.

As a result, under the fierce fire of the People's Army, the Japanese and South Korean troops immediately became chaotic and scattered and fled one after another, which also made the People's Army feel very surprised. In fact, if the KPA launched an offensive at this time, it would be able to easily defeat the Japanese and South Korean armies, and even occupy the port. However, at this time, the KPA had only landed two battalions, and they were mainly guarding the landing site, so they did not act rashly, and held their respective positions, waiting for the arrival of the second group of landing troops.

About an hour later, the second group of troops finally landed, and the sky was slightly brighter, so the KPA left one battalion to guard the landing site, and the three battalions attacked separately, attacking the warehouses, customs and wharves of the port, which were also the three most important positions of the port, and if the KPA occupied these three positions, it would basically control the entire port.

However, although the Japanese and South Korean armies attacked to no avail, and were defeated and retreated by the KPA, because the KPA did not take advantage of the situation to attack, the Japanese and ROK troops got a chance to breathe and regrouped.

The first thing that happened was the battle for the pier, which was the closest to the KPA landing site, only a few hundred meters. There are a total of 5 wharves in Zhennanpu Port, each wharf has several ships docked, but most of them are wooden boats, and the Japanese and South Korean troops who retreated to the wharf have a total of about 1,000 people, stationed on the five wharves, using the facilities on the wharf to cover, and some soldiers are still hiding on the ships.

The KPA set up mortars and carried out a fierce shelling of the pier and the boats, only to scream and scream on the pier, and several wooden boats were on fire, and the Japanese and South Korean troops were completely powerless to fight back, after all, most of them did not even have guns, how to fight back.

Then the KPA launched an attack on the pier and launched a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese and South Korean troops, and the Japanese and South Korean soldiers were not only poorly trained, but now they were demoralized, and they were not opponents of the KPA at all. It didn't take long for the KPA to occupy the dock, and the remaining Japanese and Korean soldiers surrendered one after another.

On the other hand, the battle of the customs is even simpler, because Zhennanpu is not a big port, the scale of the customs is not large, covering an area of less than 400 square meters, and there is only one floor, there are not many Japanese and South Korean troops who fled here, only 5 or 600 people, the people's army surrounded the customs, and then launched an attack, but before the people's army entered the customs, they just threw dozens of * into the customs, and there were people inside who shouted surrender in Chinese.

As a result, the KPA stopped fighting, and some people replied that the Japanese and South Korean troops lay down their arms and come out to surrender. And after a short time, I saw a group of soldiers coming out of the gate of the customs, and there were still 6 or 7 people tied up, pushing and shoving. At the head of the group, an officer-like man shouted in Chinese: "We surrender, we surrender." ”

It turned out that this officer's name was Choi Haozhi, a battalion commander in the Korean army, born in a noble family in South Korea, and had studied Chinese since childhood, which is a very common thing among Korean nobles. Cui Haozhi is not a soldier, this time he was forced to become a soldier by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army saw that he could read and write, and he had some knowledge, so he made him a battalion commander. However, although Cui Haozhi is the battalion commander, he has no status in the Japanese army, and an ordinary Japanese soldier can shout at him, even beating and scolding, so Cui Haozhi is naturally quite dissatisfied with the Japanese army, but he has no choice but to twist his little arms and thighs, so he has to go against the grain.

Tonight, the People's Army launched the Zhennanpu landing battle, Cui Haozhi's heart was also very nervous, and after the attack failed, he fled to the customs to hide, and most of the elbows who fled to the customs were South Korean troops, and the Japanese army only had a dozen people.

After calming down a little, Cui Haozhi suddenly found that this was a good opportunity to get rid of the control of the Japanese army, because Cui Haozhi was a person who had read books and was not very old, so he still had some understanding of current affairs, knowing that the Japanese army was defeated by the overseas Chinese People's Army in the Northeast China Battlefield, so he fled to the Korean Peninsula. Although Cui Haozhi does not know the details of overseas Chinese, he knows that they are from Shangbang in China, and Cui Haozhi still has a good impression of Chinese culture.

So Cui Haozhi immediately took action, pulled some Han soldiers who usually had a good relationship with him, and persuaded them to surrender to the People's Army. These Korean soldiers had little knowledge, but they were quite dissatisfied with the Japanese army, and even hated them, so they were encouraged by Cui Haozhiyi, and they were all willing to follow Cui Hao and surrender to the People's Army. At this moment, the KPA launched an attack on the customs, and the Japanese army immediately commanded the ROK army to meet it.

Cui Haozhi also realized that he had to act immediately, otherwise it would be too late for the People's Army to enter the customs. So he immediately commanded more than 30 Korean soldiers who said they had moved, and after all, the number of Japanese troops was too small, and they didn't expect that the Korean army would suddenly turn back, so they were caught off guard, and were killed by Cui Haozhi and others, and the rest were caught, although the other Korean soldiers didn't know what was happening, they didn't have a good impression of the Japanese, and naturally no one came out to help the Japanese army.

Then Cui Haozhi shouted to surrender, and the other Korean soldiers saw it, and there was no objection, in fact, at this time, most people had no idea, as long as someone took the lead, they would basically follow along, so all the Korean troops surrendered to the People's Army with Cui Haozhi.
