Hideki Nishigi never thought that he would have a day of fear, looking at the dense enemy soldiers on the beach like a tide, Hideki Nishigi didn't know whether he should continue to hold his position or turn around and flee like his companions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoCompared with those comrades who were killed, Hideki Nishigi was undoubtedly lucky, the overwhelming naval artillery bombardment that could kill him, and the overwhelming rocket artillery salvo did not kill him, but in the face of the enemy ground troops that rushed to the beach densely, Hideki Nishijo was timid.

The first to send soldiers to the beach were two modified landing ships carrying servant troops, these two medium landing ships were different from ordinary landing ships, which were small and had limited carrying capacity, and could only transport a maximum of one or two squads of soldiers at a time. This was not the case with these two landing ships, which were converted from merchant ships under umbrellas and carried soldiers directly through the doors under the bow of the ships.

Ignoring the smoke and gunfire, the servants who rushed out of the door of the landing ship rushed to the beach with a shout, and then rushed towards the Japanese position in the mud. Not every Japanese soldier who was lucky enough not to die under the shelling was as overwhelmed as Hideki Nishijo, seeing a landing ship rushing directly to the beach, seeing an enemy soldier rushing towards him, the surviving Japanese soldiers immediately opened fire to resist, and just a few minutes later, the originally sparse gunfire in the Japanese position began to become dense.

At the same moment, the commander of the 201st Division of the Japanese army, Inomo Mitsui, was standing on a gentle slope outside Sasebo, watching several trucks and thousands of soldiers in the distance dragging a heavy cannon pressed against the rolling logs. These four large-caliber coastal defense guns had been placed on the coastline positions defended by the 201st Division, and the gun emplacements had long been embedded in the turtle-type bunkers cast with reinforced concrete, and now, the 201st Division had to destroy the bunkers and move the taken out coastal defense guns to other places.

The 201st Division is a local defense force, and there are less than 10% of the veterans in the division, and the rest of the soldiers are only recruits who have been recruited for 2 months. Although there has been no shortage of materials and ammunition in the past two months, Mitsui knows that the combat effectiveness of his division is not worth mentioning. Nagasaki was suddenly bombed, and the enemy took the opportunity to launch a landing battle on Nagasaki, as the commander of the 201st Division, Mitsui Printmoto, who was stationed in Sasebo, immediately felt the pressure, after all, Nagasaki was not far from Sasebo.

Nagasaki was attacked by the enemy, and the island of Kyushu was already in chaos, and the commanders of the garrison had already gone to the position to direct the defensive deployment like Mitsui Printmoto, for fear that their own positions would also be attacked. At the same time, the aviation unit drawn from Honshu Island by Hideki Tojo had already arrived on Kyushu Island, and two groups of more than 500 Japanese fighters were already fighting with the British flying team over Kyushu Island.

The dark night sneak attack of the umbrella special forces caused heavy losses to the original fighters of the Japanese army on Kyushu Island, and less than 2 percent of the fighters were able to rise into the air smoothly, and these 2 percent of the Japanese fighters were not the opponents of the British flying team at all. The large number of warplanes gathered over Kyushu Island meant that the scale of the air battle would be further expanded, and the appearance of Japanese aircraft on Honshu Island gave the ground forces of both warring sides the fortunate opportunity to witness the brutality of large-scale air battles.

It was the first time that the British Flying Corps used rockets as the main weapon in air combat, and under the leadership and demonstration of the Umbrella Flying Corps, the British Flying Corps, which had always been arrogant, quickly adapted to this new type of air combat weapon. The roar of fighter planes resounded in the sky, and from time to time there would be hit fighters dragging black smoke out of the battlefield, and among these hit fighters, Japanese fighters occupied the absolute majority of them.

The fighters of the two sides were in a scuffle, and they were temporarily unable to provide fire support to the ground forces, but the umbrella side had the temporary fleet as the backing, and under the bombardment of the naval artillery from the landslide, the Japanese positions were shrouded in smoke and fire. With the on-site investigation of the special forces, Zhuo Fei's selection of this landing site was extremely ingenious, not only did it just avoid the heavy defensive positions of the Japanese army, but also the Japanese troops stationed here were originally only second-line troops on the mainland.

The British air team was very brave in the face of the Japanese army's loose air defense, but the Japanese air force was a little caught off guard by the air combat rockets equipped by the British air team. In the one-hour air battle, the Japanese lost more than 400 planes of various types and the British flying team more than 200 planes, but the temporary fleet providing fire support for the landing operation did not suffer any losses.

The tragedy of the air battle and the unexpected losses caused the Japanese pilots to put on a posture of never stopping, and some of the Japanese pilots who were injured even ignored their own safety and directly drove the fighters into the opponent's planes, and it was precisely because of this that the British flying team suffered losses of more than 200 fighters.

After the defeat of the second group of Japanese fighters rushing from Honshu Island to Kyushu Island, Hideki Tojo was worried that the rapid loss of pilots and fighters of the native air force would affect the subsequent operations, so he had to order the Japanese planes to withdraw from the struggle for air supremacy along the coastline of Nagasaki, and ordered the remaining air forces on the ground to be ready to attack at any time.

The Japanese fighters who had been fighting with the British flying team withdrew from the battlefield, and the British flying team, which had gained air supremacy, withdrew from the battle, and a few minutes later, a third group of bombers from Jeju Island arrived in Nagasaki and bombed the landing site. At 8 o'clock in the morning, a huge group of bombers began to carry out a covering bombardment of the area extending back from the landing field, while the servant troops, who had previously seized the Japanese coastline positions under the cover of naval guns, began to expand to the two flanks.

Holding the binoculars, McHausen looked worriedly at the landing site thousands of kilometers away, the landing battle seemed to be going well, and the Japanese aircraft group also withdrew from the battle, but McHausen's heart was always full of anxiety and anxiety, all this is really abnormal? In his cognition, the Japanese army should not be so vulnerable, at least not the Japanese air force.

While McHausen was watching the battle with his telescope, several carrier-based planes that had returned to the aircraft carrier to refuel and then re-lifted flew at a low altitude and flew toward the landing site thousands of kilometers away. McHausen's heart moved, and he hurriedly turned the direction of the telescope, and several small black dots suddenly appeared in the clear sky, and after just a dozen seconds, McHausen saw more small black dots. Without confirming or thinking, McHausen, whose face had changed drastically, immediately turned around and shouted: "Pull the air defense siren!" ”

The shrill air defense sirens seemed to carry a hint of desolation and panic, and soon, the Japanese fighters that suddenly appeared became entangled with the carrier-based planes that were urgently returning to the top of the fleet. Whether it is a destroyer that serves as an anti-aircraft anti-submarine ship. Or transport ships or fireships with artillery on board, and even machine guns used by infantry were moved out, and for a time, almost all weapons capable of firing at the air were fired together. The fighters chasing each other in the sky were also out of proportion, and the "bomb" Japanese fighter plane was obviously directly hit by the shells of a large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, and disintegrated in the air into a ball of fire.

The black clouds that bloomed like flowers in the sky, those were the fixed fuse barrages of anti-aircraft guns, and even though the reacting Temporary Fleet created such rapid and dense anti-aircraft fire, the Japanese lightning planes and bombers still risked their lives to launch a cluster attack on the Temporary Fleet. The Japanese pilots knew that it was not battleships or aircraft carriers that could really pose a threat to Kyushu, but these landing ships and transports carrying a large number of infantry and supplies, and as long as they were killed, the enemy's attack would be disintegrated.

The Japanese were very shrewd in their calculations, and the incoming planes were not part of the Combined Naval Fleet. Instead, it was part of the Army Air Corps, and the cunning Hideki Tojo dispatched aviation units from Honshu Island to support Kyushu Island, and also dispatched Army Aviation Units to carry out a sneak attack on the temporary fleet. The Temporary Fleet bypassed the islands off Kyushu Island where Japanese troops were stationed, and there was no way to avoid the detection of the Japanese troops on the islands.

The temporary fleet anchored in the open sea was suddenly attacked by the Japanese army, and not only Zhuo Fei, who got the news, was in a hurry, but even the servant troops and bombing formations that had already attacked the Japanese coastal defense positions were also confused, but as the anti-aircraft firepower of the temporary fleet continued to increase, the battle situation changed unexpectedly. It was the army air force that Hideki Tojo sent to raid the temporary fleet, but since the large-scale landing of the Japanese army in North America, the air force units under the command of the army have already left for the American battlefield in large numbers, and most of those who remain on the mainland are novices who have not been trained for more than three months.

Hideki Tojo was so anxious that he forgot the current situation of the local army air force, and in order to prevent the enemy's landing operation, he eagerly sent these novices who had not yet flown more than 100 hours into the battlefield. In the face of the impermeable anti-aircraft fire of the temporary fleet and the siege of the carrier-based aircraft group, the Japanese planes were constantly shot and fell into the sea.

The battle situation behaved so strangely that McHausen, who was originally panicked, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered the bomber formation over the landing field to continue to carry out battlefield bombing, not to be distracted and concerned about the fleet's side. McHausen had already made up his mind that he would complete the landing even if he took half of the fleet's transports and landing ships.
