Garrisoned on the Akune Line was the Japanese 1st Guards Division, and although the 1st Guards Division was a Praetorian Guard to protect the Imperial Palace, they were not lacking in combat experience at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the early days, the Guards Division participated in the First Sino-Japanese War, participated in the Battle of Lushun, and later participated in battles such as the Conquest of Taiwan.

In these wars, the officers and soldiers of the Guards Division also accumulated strong combat experience, coupled with the identity of the Guards Division, so that their loyalty to the emperor was almost 100, and the emperor asked them to commit suicide by disembowelment, and they would never commit suicide with a gun to their head.

And such a unit is also the most elite division of all Japanese armies, and among Japanese civilians, if there are relatives who serve in the Guards Division, it is a person who has ascended to heaven, and he has a lot of face in front of others.

Therefore, the Guards Division is actually one of the most elite units in Japan, and the reason for this is that Japan has three other Guards Divisions, and the other three Guards Divisions are also very elite. And the officers of these four divisions were also separated from the earliest Guards divisions and expanded, and the combat effectiveness of the four divisions was almost the same.

Behind the 1st Guards Division is the 23rd Division formed in Kumamoto, this division does not have much combat experience, but about one-third of the officers have combat experience, plus the soldiers have been brainwashed, and at the same time there is a Guards Division in front of them, so their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Originally, there were two divisions behind Akune, and only two divisions were deployed here, which was not possible for a long time, which the Japanese knew very well, so at the beginning, the Japanese army deployed four divisions here.

However, the war in Hokkaido was tight, and they were forced to transfer two divisions from here, but four more divisions were deployed there in Kagoshima, South Kyushu, Metropolitan and Kitago, not far from Akune.

Of course, when it comes to deployment, in fact, only the division in Kagoshima is capable of combat, and the other three divisions are all new recruits who have been in formation for less than two months, although they have had military training before, but they are still far from reaching the point of going to the battlefield, plus there is a lack of weapons and equipment.

In fact, as long as Akune's two divisions could hold out for one day, the Japanese army in Kagoshima would be able to support the past, and after two days of resistance, the Japanese army in southern Kyushu would be able to support the past, and the Japanese army in the capital and Kitago would be able to support the past for three days.

The longer it was carried, the more Japanese troops were supported. Although combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed, in that kind of place, isn't it possible to fight while fighting? As long as they are not afraid of death and are not afraid of fighting, it is still quite possible to repel the enemy's landing.

In the distance, the sun gradually rose, and on the sea in the distance, black smoke gathered in mid-air.

Such a huge amount of black smoke was not uncommon for the Japanese army, at least two months ago, they had seen this kind of smoke, but when the three divisions left for Taiwan, this was the scene in the sky above the fleet.

"The enemy is coming......," a Japanese soldier screamed loudly as he pounded the gong in his hand.

More and more Japanese soldiers came out of the fortifications around, and at this time, it was not time to start the meal, and many people muttered and cursed.

When I looked up, sure enough, it was the enemy coming.

The Japanese Navy is not capable of creating this kind of scene at all, and it must be the Chinese Navy that has the ability to create this kind of scene.

Haven't they been preparing for more than a month just to wait for such a day? Seeing that the enemy is still far away, the calmness of the Japanese Guards Division is by no means what ordinary people can imagine.

First solve personal problems, then go to get your own food, just squat in the trenches, eat and drink one bite at a time.

These Japanese soldiers are all experienced old fritters, just looking at the black smoke in the sky, they know that the enemy will need at least half an hour to come, and when they launch an attack and reach the beachhead, it will take an hour at the earliest, so there is enough time, and there is no need to rush at all.

The Japanese soldiers, who had eaten and drunk well, began to organize their personal equipment, and the bullets were pushed into the chamber, but they were not loaded, and it was still a little too early at this time.

At the same time, only a few soldiers were left in front to observe the situation, and the rest of the Japanese ran to the rear of the fortifications through the passage reserved when the main body was built, where there was an anti-oblique angle, unless the Chinese artillery fire could completely destroy this position, otherwise, those Japanese troops would not suffer any damage at all.

…………

On the sea, a huge formation composed of more than 700 large and small ships is moving slowly, this fleet is carrying the first batch of troops from Taiwan, and the other part is the troops that have boarded the ship in Shandong before, including a division of marines, and the only 200 landing craft, plus more than 100 landing craft brought by Taiwan, this fleet also has more than 300 landing craft, which can land 9,000 people at one time.

Well, in fact, it is possible to put so many people, but in this environment, under this kind of field, nine thousand people are put at one time to send the enemy's head.

Even throwing 3,000 people at a time is a bit like sending heads to the enemy, after all, the beachhead is only a little more than two kilometers away, and 3,000 people at a time, doesn't that mean that there is a Marine soldier in less than a meter? The beachhead was bare, and the density was such that the enemy could take down a large area with a single machine gun sweep.

In this landing operation, the Chinese Empire gathered all the ships that could go to sea and go to sea, whether it was cargo ships or fishing boats, so for the Chinese Empire, this battle must not be lost.

In fact, when signing the landing plan, Wang Sirui's hands were trembling.

Because he knew that the Japanese would never sit still, in fact, China had lost the best time to land, although the plan on the Hokkaido side succeeded in attracting some Japanese troops, but there were still a lot of troops left in Kyushu, and the fortifications here were gradually improved in this month, so although the number of troops was less, but for the attack, the difficulty did not drop much.

In Wang Sirui's view, this landing operation was not much better than the Allied Normandy landing during World War II, and the situation was even worse than there, because the number of their air force was too small, and the number of warships was too small, although the firepower of the Japanese army was correspondingly weaker.

But Wang Sirui's heart still couldn't calm down, and after signing the combat order, Wang Sirui turned to order the aircraft carrier that had not yet been fully completed to be put into battle, and the aircraft carrier only had some last construction work left, the deck had already been laid, and the aviation troops also tried to take off and land on the aircraft carrier several times, except for a crash, the rest of the training was successful.

And the range of the plane is the most depressed for Wang Sirui, so at this time, he has to put the aircraft carrier on the battlefield in advance, without the support of the aircraft, he can even imagine that the landing soldiers will die more.

How many people were killed in the Normandy landings? The British account is more than 2,000, the American record is more than 6,000 American troops, and the Washington Heritage Foundation records more than 4,900.

However, this figure is not accurate, because no one actually knows how many people died, and how many years later, bones continued to be exhumed in that area.

However, the outside world generally believes that there are 2,000 to 5,000 people, and so many people will die in one landing, and after the coalition forces landed, there were still civilians helping them, but after China landed in Japan, all the troops and enemies they faced were troops. The pressure is far greater than that of the allied forces in history.

Therefore, Wang Sirui did not dare to be careless at all, and repeatedly told Jiang Baili, who was in charge of the entire landing command, because Jiang Baili had experience in commanding landing operations, so he was directly appointed as the commander-in-chief of the landing this time, and was responsible for the landing arrangements of the four divisions and the formulation of plans.

How many troops to put in at one time has become the biggest problem that plagues Jiang Baili, if there is less to go up, it is useless, and if there is more, it will give the enemy a head.

In the past, it was constrained by the lack of landing craft, and it was not possible to send more if you wanted to, but now there are too many landing craft, and the site simply cannot accommodate it.

After struggling for most of the way, Jiang Baili finally decided on a preliminary landing plan, which only put 2,000 people at a time, that is, 65 landing craft, and more than 300 landing craft were divided into four waves, with an interval of 10 minutes between the first and second waves, an interval of five minutes between the second and third waves, and a decision based on the actual situation after the fourth wave.

Although Jiang Baili also hoped that the landing operation would be as smooth as the landing on Taiwan, the facts proved that this was absolutely impossible.

The Japanese cordoned off the area around Akune, strictly forbidding anyone to enter or leave, and all civilians, except for the prime of life, were relocated to other places, which also made it impossible for intelligence officers to transmit information in a timely and effective manner.

The only information available so far shows that the Japanese have built a complete fortification here, and the firepower is so strong that it has never been seen in any Japanese army.

With this information alone, Jiang Baili knew that this landing operation might not be as simple as he imagined, although they came in a large group, but the landing field was too small to exert their strength at all.

This was the first time that Jiang Baili knew about the Air Force, and about 30 nautical miles behind them, there was an aircraft carrier battle group that was following them unhurriedly, and the aircraft carrier battle group would provide the necessary fire support for the landing force.
