Almost an hour before the start of the attack on the Japanese First Fleet, the first section of the Air Force of the Northeast Frontier Army, which had taken the lead, also arrived in the area of Kitakyushu Island and the Kanmon Strait. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Japanese military facilities and ships there were bombed indiscriminately.

Therefore, when the naval fleet transported 60,000 troops from three integrated divisions to the shore of Kitakyushu Island, the unextinguished fires and the Japanese bunkers, fortifications, and vehicles that had been blown apart could be seen everywhere.

Since the Second Fleet was stationed in Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, the Third Fleet suffered heavy losses some time ago, and most of the remaining forces and subsequent supplementary ships remained on Honshu Island and Hokkaido waters to protect the security of Japan's northern waters.

It was impossible to rush to Kyushu Island in a hurry, and the First Fleet was completely wiped out in less than two hours, which greatly surprised the Japanese base camp, and also made Kyushu no longer have naval forces to prevent the landing force of the Northeast Frontier Army from landing.

Inside the city of Busan, the headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Army.

Zhang Xinghan sat at the conference table, smoking a cigarette and staring at the map, and the food delivered by the cook was still placed next to him, he did not move at all, the war was at a tense moment, Zhang Xinghan had no appetite.

Suddenly, there was a rush and chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and before Zhang Xinghan could look up, he heard Jiang Baili's cheerful voice coming: "General seat!" Total seat! Good news, the front report that they have completely annihilated the Japanese First Fleet, and the other Japanese fleets are eager to arrive, and the naval fleet has begun to prepare to cover Wang Tiehan's 60,000 troops preparing to land on the beach. ”

"Really?" Zhang Xinghan's expression suddenly perked up when he heard this, and he stood up.

Jiang Baili nodded with a smile on his face, and Zhang Xinghan excitedly began to pace back and forth, and said: "Great, as long as my 60,000 assault troops successfully land, hold the Guanmen Strait, and then blockade the waters around Kyushu Island with submarines and air forces, we can completely cut off the Japanese reinforcements to Kyushu Island." In this way, my more than 400,000 male divisions can easily trample the entire Kyushu Island under their feet! ”

"The only thing we need to worry about is that after our 60,000 vanguard troops land, when the naval ships return to ship to deliver the second echelon landing force, the other two fleets of the Japanese Navy will arrive ahead of schedule."

Jiang Baili smiled very firmly: "The general seat is too worried, not to mention that the Taiwan Strait is thousands of miles away from the Tsushima Strait, even if they can come in advance, they will need to pass the resistance of several squads of our Jiaolong Task Force."

In addition to the 60 XXI submarines engaged in a frontal attack, the other 20 were tasked with blocking the main force of the Japanese navy, and it has been proved in actual combat that the performance of our XXI submarines is absolutely ahead of any surface of the Japanese army. Ships on the water are simply invincible, and the Japanese can't help us at all.

Ten XXI submarines are not a lot, but once they are entangled, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die.

As for the other fleet, some time ago in the East China Sea by our submarine force completely annihilated a Chuanyun fleet, the strength of which was greatly damaged, even if there is no ten XXI submarines to block it, our navy and air force fighter group can give it a devastating blow! ”

Zhang Xinghan nodded approvingly when he heard this. The Japanese always thought that their navy was invincible, powerful and invincible.

But the facts have given them a resounding slap in the face, and after losing air supremacy, they will also lose sea supremacy. In modern warfare, air supremacy is the most important.

Today, the bombers and fighters equipped by the Northeast Frontier Army are all advanced aircraft far ahead of this era, although their number is not large. But the combat power exerted is definitely the most powerful.

Under their intensive attacks, no matter how many Japanese fleets there were, they could only hate the sea frontier and sink their swords into the sand.

Zhang Xinghan can even imagine it. Once they learned that their First Fleet had been completely wiped out in such a short period of time, and that the island of Kyushu had been landed by Chinese troops, the whole country of Japan would be terrified and terrified!

Since the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese have become increasingly arrogant and invincible, and Zhang Xinghan wants to prove with practical deeds today that China is no longer the sick man of East Asia who has been wantonly bullied by others.

Gone are the days when great powers, including Japan, could force China to submit with two warships and cannons.

He will lead the Northeast Frontier Army to plant the blue sky and white sun flag all over the four islands of Dongying, and trample this country that has repeatedly bullied and plundered the Chinese nation, and will never turn over.

…………………………

Tokyo City, Prime Minister's Office.

Minoru Saito, who had just returned from the palace, listened to the report of the attendant adjutant, and the whole person suddenly fell into an ice cave.

As the most powerful Combined Fleet of Great Japan, the First Fleet was completely wiped out in World War I.

Just now, he told His Majesty Emperor Hirohito, who was extremely shocked, that the navy would be able to keep the enemy out of the country and ensure that the sacred territory of the Japanese Empire would not be invaded by the Chinese army.

Minoru Saito seemed to be able to imagine the furious roar that His Majesty Emperor Hirohito would let out when he learned of the current situation.

Thinking of this, Saito's face was like ashes, and he was stunned on the spot.

Seeing that Minoru Saito was silent, the attendant adjutant on the side kindly reminded: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, the First Fleet has been defeated, and the naval fleet of the Shina people has approached the coast of Kyushu Island, and the situation is extremely critical, please make a decision quickly!" ”

Minoru Saito suddenly came to his senses and immediately instructed his adjutant: "Immediately inform General Hirano Shoki and strictly order him to immediately order all the land forces on Kyushu Island to prevent the landing of the Shina Army at all costs, and must hold out until the Second and Third Fleets of the Navy arrive!" ”

"Hay!" The aide-de-camp bowed his head abruptly, then turned and took the order.

……………………

When Minoru Saito's order was given, at the same time, in the offshore waters of Kyushu Island, about fifteen nautical miles north of Kitakyushu Island, there was a small island called Oshima.

A small squad of Japanese troops was originally stationed on this island, but since the military objectives were not important, they were lucky enough to escape the air raid just now by the air force of the Northeast Frontier Army.

However, the good fortune of the more than 60 Japanese troops on this island ended here, and less than two hours after the air raid, the Northeast Navy fleet swarmed in.

Before they could react, the guns of a 3,000-ton destroyer roared at Oshima.

In the earth-shattering explosion,

The whole island soon fell into a sea of fire, and more than 60 little devils were swallowed up by the waves and disappeared like a lonely boat in the blue waves.

About a platoon of infantry then landed on Japanese territory in small rubber boats, becoming the first Chinese troops to land on Japanese soil.

For the first time in 5,000 years, the Chinese army landed on the land of the four islands of Dongying as an aggressor, an avenger.

After this infantry platoon landed on the island, they quickly planted the blue sky and white sun flag they carried on the highest part of the island, officially announcing the occupation of the island.

This was just a small episode before the landing of the army, and then hundreds of warships of the Tohoku Navy began to bombard the Enga River area off the coast of Kitakyushu Island.

The terrain here is gentle, and it is the most suitable area for the landing force to land on the beach.

Hundreds of naval guns fired in unison, and the violent explosion enveloped the entire area about two kilometers wide on the shore in a sea of fire.

A Japanese army brigade was originally stationed in the area around the Enga River, but it was attacked by an air raid two hours ago, and this Japanese army brigade suffered heavy losses, and then it was suddenly bombarded by the powerful naval artillery of the Northeast Navy, and basically lost its ability to resist.

The closest reinforcements to here are the main force of a wing stationed on Kitakyushu Island, and they have just received news from the division headquarters that they have just left Kitakyushu Island and are still on their way.

Therefore, when the first tank regiment was sent to the shore by the landing ship for a formal landing ceremony, the Japanese garrison group, which had already been killed and wounded by naval guns and air strikes, was powerless to resist.

The tank regiment, in coordination with two infantry battalions, quickly disembarked and quickly attacked.

Easily wiped out the remaining resistance of the garrison.

The 60,000-strong army quickly launched a follow-up landing.

More than an hour later, 30,000 men had landed in the three integrated divisions, and the tank regiment and two infantry battalions that landed first also exchanged fire with reinforcements from a Japanese wing from Kitakyushu City.

Under the fierce assault fire of the tank regiment, this Japanese wing was hastily defeated and quickly retreated, and the two infantry battalions divided into one pursuit, and the other followed the tank regiment, and quickly attacked and advanced towards Kitakyushu Island.

Fukuoka Prefecture, Kurume City, Headquarters of the 18th Division.

The 18th Division of the Japanese Army was abolished in 1925 along with the 13th, 15th, and 17th Divisions due to military spending exceeding the budget.

Historically, it was not until 1937 that in order to deal with the long-fought Battle of Songhu, it was reorganized and put into the Shanghai battlefield, landing in one fell swoop from Hangzhou Bay, cutting off the retreat of the national army, which directly led to the defeat of the Battle of Songhu.

At this time, due to the successive defeats of the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army, the 18th Division and the 17th Division were reorganized.

It was also among the 500,000 army reinforcements, but it did not come in handy later because Okamura Ninji was defeated too quickly in Manchuria and Korea.

It stands to reason that the 18th Division, like the other 20 or so newly formed second-line divisions, should be re-disbanded and repatriated to their original positions.

However, due to the successive defeats and heavy losses of the army in Manchuria and Goryeo, the number of troops has been greatly reduced.

In order to retain the corresponding number of troops and to obtain more strategic resources for the army, the 18th Division was retained.

He was stationed in the supply area and was assigned the defense of Kyushu Island and other places together with Kumamoto's 6th Division.

Although the strength of two divisions to serve as one defense of Honshu Island may not seem to be much, in fact, these two divisions are only active troops on the surface.

You must know that in the entire Kyushu Island, among the population of nearly 10 million, there are still hundreds of thousands of reservists who have served in the military and a large number of officer reservists who have attended non-commissioned officer schools.

In addition, Nagasaki and other places are important places where Japanese military factories are located, so as long as the situation is critical, the Japanese can open the warehouses of military factories, and they can raise an army of more than 100,000 in just a few days. (To be continued......)
