The Japanese air defense force never seemed to have existed, and the Chinese paratroopers were densely packed in the sky, but the air defense artillery on the ground was pitiful, and the Chinese soldiers landed on the earth in broad daylight, began to collect their own troops in formations, and then pounced on the targets they had predetermined to fight for.

Hanging up the branches of a small tree, Wang Tao finally landed safely on the ground, the air currents in the sky caused his weapon to sway back and forth, fortunately it was fixed to the tactical vest by a metal hook, otherwise he would have to rely on an M1911 pistol and a sapper shovel for his first actual combat.

"What a joke! Where did they throw me? Wang Tao took the guide and looked at his map for a long time, and then opened the manual that was given to them for comparison and looked around, and he finally determined one thing, that is, he was thrown in a place that was not the target area at all.

The sound of gunfire not far away did not sound like a G42 of his own people, nor did it sound like a Garand rifle. So Wang Tao bent down very carefully and walked from the place where he landed to a quiet tree pit. But apparently he was a guest here, because there was also a Chinese paratrooper with an iron fist bazooka.

"Damn! I almost broke your head! The soldier was startled, then complained loudly.

"Use this?" Wang Tao knocked on the Iron Fist Bazooka, snorted, found a telescope from his backpack, he put the telescope around his neck, raised the semi-automatic rifle and poked out half of the steel helmet to scan it, and then said: "I am the guide of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, do you have any targets to attack around here?" ”

"Me? Joke! I'm an anti-tank guy! I was only responsible for the entire company dealing with enemy tanks. The soldier said with a sad face, as if he was afraid that he would be assigned to do some dangerous work.

Wang Tao nodded: "What about yours?" I'm excited to be able to operate with friendly forces. ”

"Alright! All right! Sergeant, what do we do now? The soldier said, "I'm also from the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, why haven't I seen you?" ”

"I'm from the third company, if I have a living treasure like you, I will be the first to kick you off the plane." Wang Tao sighed and said, "Shut up!" Now you must obey my commands! Help me with my mission! Now we're going to occupy a bridge called Leguan. ”

"Well, how far is that from here? I also have half a platoon of soldiers' food in my bag, which is not light. The soldier said.

Wang Tao's face turned slightly red: "I don't know where we are now, so I can't be sure where the target is, but I think we should go north, and soon we can find the village." ”

"How do you know?" The anti-tank soldier asked curiously.

Pointing to the smoke-emitting spot on the distant horizon: "If you were the Air Force, would you drop so many bombs in a deserted place?" ”

"That might be." The soldier muttered to his feet, "Didn't they leave us here indiscriminately?" I really don't know how an anti-tank fighter and a lost guide can occupy a bridge where I don't know where yet. ”

Ignoring the soldiers' complaints, Wang Tao stuffed his pockets and backpacks with canned luncheon meat and fried noodles while casually asking, "Are you ready to slaughter the Japanese soldiers?" ”

The soldier nodded: "I am also the elite of the 101st Airborne Division!" ”

The two men pushed aside the grass that had just turned green and headed for the smoke in the distance, and they walked with difficulty, one foot deep and one shallow, and sometimes stumbled because of the unevenness of the ground. But they are still getting closer to their goal.

Suddenly, four soldiers flashed out of the grass, and the muzzles of the black hole were aimed at Wang Tao and the two of them, and the two of them were stunned and quickly raised their hands and shouted: "X! Don't shoot! We are our own people! Huaguo paratroopers! Chinese people! ……”

The Chinese paratroopers put away their weapons, their faces smeared with black carbon ink were full of smiles, and their white teeth were revealed: "You only have footsteps, and we almost shot three meters away!" ”

"Isn't there a recognition password? If you shoot so indiscriminately, you can easily be killed by your own people! Wang Tao put down the muzzle of the submachine gun and said.

The anti-tank man also nodded: "Isn't it! I almost died at the hands of my own people. "Now everyone knows how far away they are from the elite, and even if they dominate on the training ground, there are still mistakes in the first actual battle.

"Do you know how to get around? Our goal is to attack a nearby village! We don't have a compass on us, so we don't dare to act indiscriminately! The leader of the group said, "If you don't mind, can you help us with this task?" ”

"No problem! Let's attack that village together! After taking it, we will find the Leguan Bridge that we want to capture according to the map and the prisoners, and then we will occupy the bridge to ensure that the main Japanese army cannot counterattack Shimonoseki. ”

Yes, the goal of the 101st Airborne Division this time was Shimonoseki, to be precise, to occupy Shimonoseki Castle and build a defense in depth around it, so as to lay a good foundation for the landing of the army. After the Chinese army established a bridgehead at Shimonoseki, it arrived here with a large number of transport army soldiers and attacked in the direction of the depth of Honshu Island. However, it is not certain whether it will be able to gain a firm foothold, and the more than 10,000 soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division will face the defense of the 17th regular division of the Japanese army at Shimonoseki Castle, and there are many more Japanese soldiers 100 kilometers away, which is already the core of the Japanese archipelago.

The six men agreed on tactics and began to continue their exploration, and on the way they collected two more paratroopers who had been scattered, most of them fully armed. They got closer and closer to the target village, but when they reached the outskirts of the so-called village, they realized that it was a town with a railroad.

The air force had just finished bombing the town, and the town was in flames, full of corpses of Japanese soldiers, and there were more people alive, and there were hundreds of Japanese cavalry on the edge of the town, but now only the horses were left there, and most of the soldiers went into the town to participate in the disaster relief and firefighting.

"Our troops are insufficient, and it is too dangerous to venture into the town, so we retreat one after another and find our company headquarters." After some observation, Wang Tao decided that the town defended by hundreds of people was obviously not something that his ten people could deal with. However, when he found the company, Wang Tao found that hundreds of paratroopers had gathered here, and there were paratroopers who found it one after another. Especially after seeing his platoon commander Tong Jian, Wang Tao was even happier.

"Platoon commander, this is not a village, but a small town on the railway, defended by about a hundred Japanese soldiers, if you don't take here, you can't capture the Leguan Bridge, and you can't stop the Japanese troops on the periphery from reinforcing Xiaguan.

"Well, I'll report to the company commander." Wang Tao, who went to report to the platoon commander, found more than a dozen comrades-in-arms from the same platoon here, and his squad also gathered 7 people, which exceeded pre-war expectations.

"Wang Tao, leave that town to someone else, and you take your people here." Tong Jian pointed to the map and said to Wang Tao: "There should be a Japanese 125mm howitzer position here, 3-4 artillery pieces, I need you to destroy them." The brothers of the Marine Corps are going to launch a landing operation in Shimonoseki, and these guns must not be allowed to threaten the landing site. ”

Wang Tao scratched his head: "There are only 7 people under me, the troops are too small, and there are at least 50 people on the artillery position of the Japanese!" ”

"There's no way, the gathered forces are very few, and there are many tasks, you can't wait for the troops to gather before attacking the target, the landing is about to begin!"

The attack of the Chinese army completely confused the Japanese army, and everywhere there were reports of being attacked by the Chinese army, and everywhere there was smoke after the bombing of the Chinese army. The coastal fortifications could not withstand the bombs of the Chinese army's dive bombers and horizontal bombers, a large number of artillery pieces were destroyed, and thick smoke billowed from the north shore of the Shimonoseki Strait. The Japanese commander knew that this had become a new landing target after the arrival of the Chinese bombers, and immediately deployed most of his forces to the beachhead fortifications after reporting to his superiors.

Just when the Japanese commander was hesitating in the face of tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers in the rear, a huge fleet was approaching the shore in the distance, and the transport ships carrying the 3rd Marine Division and a large number of army soldiers were slowly approaching Shimonoseki Castle under the protection of the escort fleet. The rampant naval artillery after the bombardment of the air force made the Japanese commander give up the plan of sending troops to the rear, and once his soldiers walked out of the trenches, they would be bombarded by large-caliber naval artillery shells.

With the help of radar and fire control systems, the accuracy of the ship's guns reached an incredible level, and the large-caliber armor-piercing shells flew to the strong fortifications, and the fortresses that survived the aerial bombardment had to accept the **** of the Chinese navy.
