The first day was washed several times by Japanese bombers, and today it was smashed by the naval guns of the little devils. With-Dream- . Lā's defensive positions at Davao Port appear to be devastated, with bombed fortifications everywhere.

As the warships retreated to make way for the passage, a large number of transport ships following behind the warships began to slowly advance in preparation for the landing operation. In the eyes of the Japanese troops who landed, perhaps they would be able to enter the town for dinner tonight.

In order to capture Davao in one fell swoop, the Japanese army landed as many as 5,000 troops. In addition, there are warships and an aviation detachment to cooperate with the operation. In the eyes of the Japanese troops who landed, the remaining defenders of Davao were afraid that they were simply powerless to resist.

Just as the Japanese transport ship slowly lowered the soldiers it was carrying, and the infantry began to prepare for the landing on the island. The Japanese did not know that on several small slopes not far from the coast, several British shore defense guns had adjusted the angle of shelling.

The commander of the shore defense artillery, looking at the Japanese troops who began to lay down the landing craft within the firing range, the commander also sneered: "These little devils are really as arrogant as ever!" It's really muddy when we are so bold to implement cluster login. ”

Listening to the words of this officer from the Navy's coastal defense artillery unit, an officer standing beside him also smiled and said: "If you want to come to these little devils, you must think that we have no defense against them, so you want to solve us at once!" ”

'Daydream! Inform all gun positions and prepare before shelling! ’

'Yes! ’

When the artillery positions reported one after another, and preparations were made before the shelling, the commander said: "Aim at the area where the Japanese troops are concentrated, and give me the fastest possible shot of the shells." Don't worry about the planes of the little devils, they can't blow up our fortress. ”

'Yes! ’

The herald picked up the phone and said, "Prepare the shells!" Listen to my command, three, two, one, put! ”

The heralds of the rest of the gun emplacements also held up their phones to convey orders. When the artilleryman in charge of firing the cannon heard the word 'put', he also bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Little devil, try grandpa's cannonballs!" ”

Pulling the bolt of the firing shell, eight British-made large-caliber coastal defense guns immediately spat out the first life-threatening giant shell. The Japanese ships that were landing soon noticed the loud sound of artillery coming from behind the defensive positions.

Rear Admiral Yorizo Tanaka, the commander of the Japanese fleet who was in charge of covering in the rear, had been smiling at the infantry who were carrying out the landing operation on the warship. When he saw this scene, the whole person jumped in fright.

Roared: "Yaga! It's shore defense artillery! Damn, why didn't the intelligence services say that there are shore defense guns here? Quick, order the fleet to retreat, prepare to carry out a counterattack, and rush to destroy the opponent's shore defense artillery! ”

The battleships accompanying the Japanese army soon sounded the battle alarm and planned to withdraw from the range of the shore defense guns. The officers and men of the Japanese Navy who stayed on the warship found that the other side's shore defense guns were not aimed at their warship at all, but at their transport ship.

Looking at the transport ship that was directly blown up under a shore defense gun, many Japanese soldiers on the warship felt that they were dripping blood. Even if the speed of the coastal defense artillery was not fast, the speed of eight shells at a time still made the Japanese troops who landed miserable.

Compared to the time when the Japanese army was caught off guard by the sudden coastal defense artillery and struggled in the sea. The officers of the U.S. Army and the Wolf Warrior Garrison who were staying in the defensive position said very excitedly: "Okay, good fight!" Dog R's, blow them up! ”

Even some U.S. troops excitedly said, "Beautiful! That shot was too accurate! Haha, that transport boat was hit directly. Oh, God! It was blown up directly! Lee, your artillery is amazing! ”

Previously, they were suffering in the defensive position, but now it was the turn of the Japanese landing force to wail again and again. Even though many transports tried to escape range, they found that they were so concentrated that it was very difficult to turn around.

As for the Japanese landing troops who got off the transport boats, looking at the falling shore defense shells, the waves could overturn their boats. These Japanese soldiers could only bite the bullet and speed up to the shore.

Faced with the chaotic situation of the Japanese landing fleet, the officers and men of the coastal defense artillery units deployed in the rear could no longer hear what others were saying, even if they felt that their ears were ringing. But the artillerymen are still well-trained to shoot life-threatening shells.

The sea area covered by eight shore defense guns soon became a river of blood. The Japanese fighters who were responsible for the cover also carried out bombing frantically. But these Japanese pilots sadly discovered that the anti-aircraft guns were protected by strong fortresses.

'Yaga! Our shells can't blow up the opponent's fortress at all, quick, ask our naval guns to strike! ’

For every minute of delay, countless Japanese soldiers will be killed in the sea. Looking at the sea in disarray, the Japanese army, who had fantasized about taking Davao in one fell swoop, also had a sense of grief and indignation that fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

When the Japanese warships in charge of covering escaped from the range of the shore defense guns and began to use large-caliber naval guns to carry out counterattacks. Feeling the tremors coming from near the fortress, the artillery inside remained indifferent and continued to shell.

It wasn't until the shells of each fortress were fired that the officer in charge of the command said coldly: "Inform everyone to retreat!" Don't forget to blow up all these forts when you leave! It's a pity that these guns were reimbursed after only one shot. ”

'No way! The little devil is powerful, and if you don't blow up these cannons, you will eventually fall into the hands of the little devil. A few cannons can be exchanged for so many transports and little devils, in fact, we also earn it. This shelling, the little devil is estimated to be half-disabled. ’

Seeing that the warships in the rear finally opened fire, the shore defense artillery that demanded their lives finally stopped shelling. Countless Japanese infantry who fell into the sea felt extremely frightened when they looked at the crimson water around them, as well as the corpses and the wreckage of ships.

What they thought was a victory that they could reap by simply rushing ashore turned into a tragedy. From the tragic scene, it can be seen that of the more than 5,000 infantry who landed, half of them can be left, and it is worth thanking.

When the Japanese warships found out, the shore defense guns finally stopped firing shells. After some of the forts also collapsed, the commander of the fleet, Rear Admiral Yorizo Tanaka, also hurriedly said: "Quick, send a search and rescue ship to rescue our soldiers who fell into the sea!" ”

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Tanaka Yorizo even ordered a reconnaissance plane to check again whether the fortress of the coastal defense artillery had been completely destroyed. If it was not destroyed, he still ordered the ship's guns to constantly correct the angle of the shelling until it collapsed.

After confirming that the fortress of the eight shore defense guns had been destroyed, Tanaka ordered the officers and men on the warship to quickly rescue the infantry who had fallen into the water. But for those soldiers who were killed by the bombing, they couldn't save them even if they wanted to.

The shore defense artillery unit, which had successfully evacuated through the tunnel, saw officers and soldiers with two gun emplacements, and only a few soldiers were left to exit safely. The rest of the officers and men were killed in the previous shelling, and the commander of the coastal defense artillery also felt very sad.

But he still said: "Have the remains of the brothers been collected?" ”

'Convergence! ’

'Good! With the remains of our brothers, let's retreat to the rear first! They will not die in vain, even if we don't have shore defense artillery, there is still a chance to avenge them in the future. Let's go, the whole team retreats! ’

The shore defense artillery brigade safely retreated to the rear and transported the remains of the fallen soldiers back to the cemetery in the mountains for burial. For these sacrificed soldiers, according to the regulations of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group, they can also receive a large pension.

Soldiers who have families in Mindanao receive a one-time pension for their families. As long as the wolf warrior exists for one day, they will receive free supplies from the wolf warrior logistics department during the New Year's holidays.

In short, although these fighters died, their families will also have no worries for the rest of their lives. It is precisely this kind of system that makes these officers and soldiers, most of whom are recruited from China, feel that Zhao Tiehu is a commander worth following.

As for these soldiers buried in the cemetery, they will enjoy the memorial service of Zhao Tiehu and many Chinese people on the Qingming Festival every year. Such an honor is still very comforting for these veterans who are accustomed to seeing death and no burial in China.

When the results of the shore defense artillery unit were reported back to the base camp, Zhao Tiehu also said happily: "Not bad! Finally, there is no loss! ”

Although these old-fashioned shore defense guns, which were purchased at a huge cost, cost Zhao Tiehu a lot of money. But to achieve such a record, in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, it is still very worthwhile. This head-on blow is believed to make the little devil feel distressed for a while.

Knowing that the shore defense artillery units had retreated, the blocking troops lurking in the defensive positions also began to prepare for engagement. Although there were many gaps in the fortifications, they did not ask to stay in the defensive position.

All they had to do was hold back until dark, and they could retreat into the city. There, there were also long-awaited units of wolf warrior veterans waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army. When the time comes, the Japanese troops entering the city will also understand that their people alone will not be enough to take Davao City.

It is even possible that the garrison currently deployed in Davao City is fully capable of completely annihilating the Japanese troops ashore. In Zhao Tiehu's opinion, if you don't teach the Japanese army a lesson, how can you let the Japanese army know that Davao City is not easy to occupy!

Zhao Tiehu, who was staying in the base camp, learned that the Japanese landing force had been severely damaged, but he still launched a landing operation. He quickly said: "Big head, send a squadron of wolf warriors over." Let's see if there's a chance to cooperate with the defenders at night! ”

'Yes, wolf's head! ’

As Li Hao went to convey the order, let the Wolf Warrior Squadron, which is closest to Davao City, be ready to attack at any time. Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Send a report to Manila to inform our ministry of this victory!" ”

'Yes, wolf's head! ’

When the news reached the operational command of the US forces in the Philippines, MacArthur was equally happy to see this information: "Beautiful! I'll just say that Chen and his troops will not let the Japanese army occupy Davao City so easily! ”

When the Japanese army was cleaning up the mess and planning to continue the landing operation. Many of the surviving Japanese troops began to establish preparatory offensive positions on the tidal flats. And the blocking troops who stayed in the defensive positions were also ready to engage in battle.

The next hand-to-hand battle is believed to be another brutal battle. As far as the officers and men of this joint force of the US and Chinese troops are concerned, with the previous victory, they are more confident in the next battle!
