In the early morning of June 4th, the sun had just risen, and in the distance, the red and white fiery clouds were rapidly metamorphosing, and the landing site near Akune was in the southern part of the Japanese island of Kyushu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Japanese army has prepared two divisions here, one division is deployed on a beach coastline about two kilometers long, which is one of the most suitable places for landing on Kyushu Island, two kilometers of sandy beach, behind the two plain cities of Akune and Izumi, the terrain is unobstructed, there are almost no mountains and rivers, and the enemy army can quickly deploy troops to attack after landing here.

This beach near Akune is a place of recreation for Japanese people on weekdays, and the golden sand beach feels the force of the northward current of the East China Sea. Many young couples, middle-aged couples, and even the elderly who are in love always like to come here for a walk, feeling the ebb and flow of the tide, and the rising and falling of the sun.

But in the last month or so, the beach has been cordoned off, and a large number of Japanese troops have been stationed here, and they have built a large number of fortifications on the beach, not to mention the permanent fortifications, which Japan is very short of, and there is not enough time for them to prepare these permanent fortifications.

Therefore, these beachheads are still dominated by civil structures, but the Japanese army is well aware of the strong firepower of the Chinese, so they do not dare to be lazy in the fortifications.

Compared with the previous civil engineering works, these civil engineering works at the Akune beachhead are a little special, and from the outside, there are basically no traces of the fortifications.

The Japanese had recently mobilized a large number of civilians to build fortifications, but this time, the Japanese were somewhat prepared. The biggest credit is also due to the Chinese temporarily changing the landing site, so the Japanese army here was given up to a month to build the fortifications here.

With the efforts of two divisions, more than 40,000 Japanese troops, and more than 240,000 mobilized people, they finally completed the fortifications here three days ago after a little more than a month's efforts.

The beachhead is mainly divided into two parts, the first part is the first line of positions about three meters higher than the beachhead, and this three-meter-high position is piled up little by little by the Japanese army, and all the soil used comes from the flat land about 300 meters behind the position.

The second line of positions is located behind the first line, about ten meters or so, but the height is about three meters higher than the first line.

The total height of these two positions is about 6 meters and the width is about 20 meters, and for the Japanese, such a huge project is not a small project, and a full 240,000 people have worked day and night for almost 37 days before it has just been completed. And at the moment of completion, almost all Japanese breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Chinese dare to land here, then they will regret it.

That's right, the environment here is indeed very suitable for landing, and there is no better place to do it, because as long as they can defeat the Japanese troops on the beachhead, they can quickly advance to the interior of Kyushu Island, and once they land, they only need to advance less than 100 kilometers to the southeast, which is the Kagoshima military port, and occupying it means that they have won the entire early stage of the campaign.

But what about the Japanese? But in the same way, the Japanese, who know this very well, have not chosen to give up, because they have no way back. As a result, there is the current line of defense, which the Japanese call the line of defense for harvesting the lives of Chinese.

One in front and one behind, one high and one low, the two lines of defense are located on top of a main body, that is, they are piled up with mud little by little, and then smashed with rammed wood, at a height of three meters, they begin to make a slope about three meters long, and a large amount of gravel is mixed in the middle to fix the hardness of the main body.

Then the whole platform is a flat ground, and all the shooting holes are all used as square shooting holes made of wood, covered with half a meter of earth, which is also tamped, even if the mortar is smashed on it, it may not be able to break through the Japanese defenses.

At a position of about six or seven meters in the rear, a second relatively steep slope began to appear, still compacted earth, ten meters behind the first position, three meters high, in the same way to form a second defensive position, two positions one in front of the other, forming a huge three-dimensional crossfire.

When the enemy left the firing range, the Japanese would abandon the shooting hole and move to the top of the position, lying there to continue shooting, and at this time the enemy's artillery fire had basically lost its effect, unless they were not afraid of killing their own people.

And the firepower of the two divisions and nearly 40 heavy machine guns is all concentrated on these two lines of defense, with an average of one machine gun every 50 meters, and one high and one low, staggered with each other.

Although the number of Japanese machine guns is somewhat insufficient compared to the machine guns of the Chinese army, it should be taken into account that this is on a landing field about two kilometers wide, and forty machine guns are not much, but they are not much.

And daring to let the Japanese army call this the line of defense for harvesting the lives of the Chinese, it is not enough to rely on this little thing, and after such a long battle, coupled with the terrible fighting on the Hokkaido side, the Japanese army is now also very self-aware.

So, they prepared more gifts for the Chinese who might attack here next.

For example, at present, the main body of this position, all the soil used is dug from a position about 300 meters behind, then correspondingly, there will be a wider and deeper ravine than this main body in the rear position, and one end of the ravine is connected to the estuary of a river connected to the East China Sea.

At this moment, between this river and this ravine, there is only a strip of earth about five meters wide blocking it, and here, a large number of explosives have been planted by the Japanese army, which can definitely ensure that this gap can be blown up at one time.

Once the Chinese have successfully broken through the position, when they intend to cross the ravine, which is not steep, the Japanese will blow it up and use water to kill the Chinese.

In addition, on the north side of the position, there is a hill that turns back, where it is only more than three hundred meters from the nearest beach, that is, the Japanese only need to place a few machine guns there, so when the Chinese leave the landing craft and are attacking towards the beachhead, these machine guns deployed behind them can be flanked back and forth with the machine guns on the beachhead.

And this position can attack almost the entire beachhead area, and it doesn't matter if it's a little farther away, they can also deploy a couple of machine guns in the southern zone.

As for where the machine guns came from, they naturally got them from other divisions. The defense of the beachhead is the top priority, and once the beachhead is lost, it is impossible for the Japanese army to defeat the Chinese on its own.

Thus, forty heavy machine guns of two divisions were deployed on two lines of defense, and twenty machine guns of one division were deployed in the flanks and rear of the north and south in fourteen and six, respectively, to attack the enemy forces that landed.

In addition, twenty machine guns of a division were deployed farther away to prevent the Japanese from being defeated after the enemy broke through. In fact, it is planned to rely on these firepower to block the enemy army a little, and not let them advance too fast.

On the two-kilometer defensive line, a whole division of troops was deployed, 16,000 combatants, more than 15,000 rifles, plus 40 heavy machine guns, on the north side was a large group of troops and 14 machine guns, in the south there was also a large group of troops and four machine guns, and the remaining division was in that ravine.

Once the enemy rushes forward and needs to engage in hand-to-hand combat, they can support them in less than three minutes and drive the enemy into the sea as quickly as possible.

The equipment of the Chinese is very advanced, but in this battle they are landing operations, and the number of troops to be put on at one time is limited, which is where the advantage of the Japanese lies.

Therefore, the Japanese troops here are not afraid at all, and even they can't wait for the enemy army to choose them as a landing site, so that the Chinese can try to be defeated.

Of course, since the Japanese have begun to correct their posture, it is natural that some of the arrogant attitudes like before will not appear.

Even the Japanese Navy is still putting itself in a very low position.

Now that the army has built such perfect fortifications, it seems that the navy's early blocking has lost its effect. As a result, the Navy also came up with an amazing combat plan.

That is, the navy leaves the port ahead of time, conducts a tour near the landing site, but does not enter the battle in advance, and when the enemy drops two or three landing troops, the shore sends a signal to them, and then the navy forcibly raids the enemy fleet.

Anyway, the Japanese navy is small, the enemy's fleet will definitely be huge, and the Japanese navy does not expect to take out a few Chinese main warships this time, they only hope that the artillery can take out as many troop carriers as possible.

As long as it can be ensured that the Chinese will not be able to land this time, and in the end it will end in failure. For Japan, as long as they can prevent the Chinese from landing on the island of Kyushu, then in the same way, they can also prevent the enemy of Hokkaido from landing here.

Tokyo's order to Yoshimasa Oshima to hold on for a month was actually waiting for the Chinese to land on Kyushu Island, and as long as it was determined that the landing there was a failure, Tokyo would immediately abandon Hokkaido, and when the time came, all those who could withdraw would be withdrawn, and those who could not be withdrawn would stay there to fight guerrilla attacks and harass the enemy.

In short, the longer it drags on, the stronger the Japanese army will be. As for the fact that external resources cannot be accessed, and most of the resources have been cut off, the Japanese have not considered it, but there is no way.
