635: Where's the plane?
As early as when this decision was made, Nogi Noshinori had already prepared for Jade Shattering, including his two sons, and now that he received the news of his eldest son, Jade Shattering, Nogi Noshinori did not have much emotional turmoil, as if all this had already happened. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, Nogi Noshinori didn't have time to be sad about this problem, and there were many problems in front of him at the moment.
For example, although he has worked hard to build such a perfect defense line, the Chinese still have countless means of attack, and they even take advantage of the disadvantages of the Japanese army to strike at that point fiercely, and then develop to the present.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the Chinese launched the first wave of attacks, and as Nogi Noshinori expected, the first wave of Chinese attacks was quickly defeated by the Japanese army, and almost completely annihilated the first wave of Chinese who landed. Although there is a huge difference in equipment between the enemy and us, the Japanese army occupies an absolute geographical and numerical advantage, so it is not unusual to defeat the first wave of Chinese landing.
However, what Nogi did not expect was that the second wave of Chinese attacks had already hit the beachhead, and according to Nogi's prediction, this line of defense would swallow at least 5,000 to 10,000 enemy lives.
In fact, if the positions of the enemy and the enemy were to be replaced, then Nogi Noshinori's prediction could only be said to be too conservative.
In such terrain, the superiority of equipment, although suppressed, is minimized, or even negligible. But that was not the end, the Chinese dispatched aviation, and hundreds of sorties of planes continued to hit the Japanese positions, accurately dropping a large number of bombs, killing and injuring a large number of Japanese soldiers.
The Chinese took advantage of this gap to directly ascend to the beachhead, and the Japanese troops deployed in the rear did not play a big role.
Immediately after the aviation discovered the Japanese troops hiding there, the landing force brought in a platoon of tanks to suppress it. Ordinary marines have relatively weak firepower, which is their biggest weakness, while mortars are straight up and straight down, which is more suitable for fighting in trenches and other terrain.
And this kind of fortification built on the cliff face, the mortar can only stare through, which is not their strong point at all. The only weapons that could be used were the Sniper and the Heavy in their hands. But they don't have that much energy to do that.
As a result, a platoon, five tanks, after landing, almost maintained a position from beginning to end, but the muzzle of the gun was slightly adjusted, almost less than ten seconds is a cannon, a distance of three or four hundred meters, a tank gun, a fixed target, as long as the tank gunner does not make any mistakes, basically one shot can be guaranteed to kill one.
At eight o'clock, the second wave of landing troops attacked the Japanese beachhead at the cost of more than 600 men, and the power of the marines' powerful individual firepower was highlighted.
Less than 2,000 marines have been on the beachhead like wolves in a flock of sheep, looking for prey, but if they can still move, they will go up with a mouthful, bullets, bayonets, and even grenades, but they are unceremoniously using any way to kill the enemy, and even the wounded of the Japanese army have no way to escape this catastrophe.
This style of fighting without leaving prisoners and sparing no wounded made the number of Japanese casualties increase dramatically for a while.
Although the surrender of the Japanese army has not yet occurred, at least it is unlikely to occur in a short period of time, but this kind of fighting style still deeply stimulates the hearts of the Japanese.
This is different from what they have known about the Chinese before, in previous wars, the Chinese have always interpreted the heritage of their thousand-year-old country on the battlefield, and there is rarely a situation where they do not accept prisoners and attack wounded soldiers, which has a lot to do with China's traditional thinking.
In the same way, it is also the confidence of the Japanese to dare to pluck up the courage to provoke China.
After fighting, the Japanese can get unexpected benefits, but if they can't, the Japanese only need to apologize and give enough face to the Chinese, and they don't even have to lose anything.
But now, everything has changed, and the Chinese army no longer seems to be so friendly, less concerned with the prestige of the state of etiquette, and more concerned with how many enemies they can kill.
In addition to the shock, Nogi Noshinori didn't have much psychological burden, he couldn't always blame the enemy, Nogi Noshinori knew very well that no matter which country Japan was hostile to, the outcome that awaited them was probably the same.
There is an old Chinese saying that even mud bodhisattvas still have three points of temper, and China is an old rival of Japan, so they also know quite well the habits of the Japanese army.
Leaving aside the various deeds of the Sino-Japanese War in the distant future, let's just say that the wounded Japanese soldiers always lie on the battlefield with grenades and wait, and when the Chinese pass by, or come to help them, they suddenly pull the grenade and die with the enemy, this practice of the Japanese has become the norm, in this case, who dares to rescue the wounded in Japan?
Therefore, when the Chinese issued a massacre order, Nogi Noshinori did not feel strange at all, and it also made Nogi Noshinori feel appreciated and repay his grievances with virtue, which is estimated to be done only by the ancient Chinese in this world.
"You mean, the Chinese have aviation to go to war?" Nogi Noshinori instantly turned his attention to the aviation.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese sent a large number of planes into the battle, and they carried a large number of heavy bombs, first attacking the 23rd Division deployed in the 2nd Defense, causing the 23rd Division to be forced to organize defense. Subsequently, after the first enemy attack exposed our defensive lines, the enemy bombarded the positions with heavier bombs. That round of bombardment alone almost halved our combat effectiveness, and it also had a great impact on the rest of the troops, which also directly led to the enemy launching a second wave of attacks, and our defense line was breached. The first staff officer, Yuyu Nakasa, said.
"Baga, the ...... of the Air Force" Nogi Noshinori cursed secretly, he didn't expect that Chinese would once again walk ahead of Japan, and this time, Chinese would widen the gap between China and Japan.
The original Chinese were enough for Nogi Noshinori to have a headache, but now, his head seemed to be about to blow up, and in the face of the Chinese with endless attack methods, Nogi Noshinori was afraid that it would be difficult to perform even if he had a thousand plans.
As a high-ranking member of the Japanese military, Nogi Noshinori naturally could not only know limited information like the soldiers below.
Although Japan was politely rejected by the two major blocs of the Entente and the Allied Powers, the two blocs still maintained certain ties with Japan, but they were no longer as close as before.
The United States, in particular, was originally a war situation that Japan was struggling to support, but now it has ushered in new hope for the Japanese. The fact that the Entente did not accept Japan's accession did not mean that no country in the world was willing to accept Japan.
The Americans, who also did not join the Entente, did the opposite, not only getting in touch with the Japanese, but also providing Japan with a large amount of military aid.
What the Japanese lack most is military equipment, that is, resources, although the equipment of the Americans is not very good, and it has not been tested by war, but at least the Americans are not short of resources, and they can help the Japanese arm a larger army in the shortest possible time.
Although the Americans did not have any good calculations, and the Japanese knew this deeply, in order to be able to resist the invasion of the Chinese Empire, Japan had no choice at all.
In other words, with or without the support of the Americans, the Japanese must fight this battle, and they will fight it to the end, the only difference is whether it is difficult to fight or not. How many casualties?
The first batch of military aid from the Americans has not yet arrived, but the next military aid includes the option of fighter planes, and Japan has sent 200 soldiers to the United States for training as early as a month ago.
As for the role of the air force, there is no need for others to say more, the performance of the air force in the European theater has convinced everyone, no one will think that the air force is useless, and once the Japanese have the air force, even if there are only 50 aircraft, even if these 50 planes are not put into battle, but only for reconnaissance, then the Japanese will occupy the absolute initiative in the next battle.
But now, this dream has been shattered again, and before the planes of the American military aid arrived, the planes of the Chinese had already arrived, and they had brought such tragic casualties to Japan.
"No, why didn't Sasebo report the situation of the enemy's fighters?" Nogi suddenly realized a very serious problem.
Now it can be quite certain that the Chinese did not occupy any of the small islands near the Japanese mainland before this, so where did these planes come from? The closest place to the Japanese mainland is North Korea, and North Korea is about 350 kilometers away from Ajiune, which seems to be beyond the range of the aircraft, but the Chinese are so advanced in technology that they may have broken through this technical problem.
But if they flew from there, they would have to go through Sasebo, and the Japanese didn't have any anti-aircraft firepower, so they didn't have to hide anything at all.
"Your Excellency, Commander, they flew from the sea."
"The sea?" Nogi Noshinori frowned deeply, this seems unlikely, if the Chinese can solve it with more than 300 kilometers each way, then flying from the sea in the west, the closest Chinese city to Akune is Shanghai, a distance of nearly 800 kilometers, one-way, this distance from the current plane can not do.
"Oops, find a way to notify the Navy and let them be careful of air defense ......"
