Chapter 306: Landing in Japan
Long Yuhui stood in the port of Busan, watching the ships of the empire enter the port of Busan, and a soldier immediately boarded the ship, and then quickly left the port, busy back and forth. They were the first batch of troops to land on the mainland, and it can also be said that they were the first people in the first foreign war of the Chinese Empire.
Thinking back to the time when he was in his hometown, because he offended the largest local landlord, and wandered around, if he hadn't met someone sent by Wang Lin, I'm afraid that Long Yuhui would have been dead at this time, right? In the past, a person who could be pinched to death by even taking the initiative to move his fingers has become a person who is enough to make the whole world tremble in just a few decades and ten years.
Long Yuhui's real fame was made on the Korean battlefield, but his real career and pushed himself in front of the public was in the Battle of Shenyang, when he was crazy and slaughtered, without mercy, a fierce Cossack cavalry was trampled under his feet, and he could not escape the fate of death.
And although he was nominally convicted of murder afterwards and sentenced to 11 years in prison by a military court, please don't forget that this is an imperial country, and as long as the emperor doesn't personally nod and cut off your head, it's basically fine. What's more, who is Long Yuhui? Although the outside world knows that he entered the prison, and he also retired from the army and disappeared from people's eyes, no one knows where he really is, even the locals of Hainan, even the gendarmes do not know where the so-called Hainan Military Prison is.
Thinking back to the time when he was in Wuhan a few days ago, Wang Lin said to Long Yuhui, which made Long Yuhui feel the momentum from Wang Lin for the first time, which before, whether it was fighting against Britain or any other battle, Long Yuhui had never felt this momentum in Wang Lin. Maybe it's long-standing anger, or maybe it's something else.
"Commander-in-Chief, the Seventy-Second Army and the Marines have boarded the ship and are ready to go. The Ninth Army was also on standby at the docks, and as soon as the ships crossing the sea entered the port, they could board them at any time. Adjutant Zhou Sen came behind Long Yuhui and reported in a low voice.
"Yes, got it!" Long Yuhui responded softly, but did not give a clear answer.
At this time, it is still early, and there is no hurry for this meeting, and once the troops arrive at the mainland, they will have to carry out high-intensity operations, so that the soldiers can rest for a while, Long Yuhui will never be nervous at this moment. Because for a normal battle, arriving a few minutes early in the capital will not play any role at all. The race against time is more about the details, and for the current situation, there is no need to do this.
"Let Wang Bo go with the fleet, be responsible for directing the landing operation and the aftermath arrangement, and the second batch of landing troops will arrive tomorrow afternoon!" Long Yuhui thought about it and decided to send a commander who was more suitable for landing operations to take charge.
"Yes!" Zhou Sen responded, hurriedly turned around and left to inform Wang Bo.
Wang Bo is a commander of the Marine Corps, and this man has disrupted the deployment of coastal defense forces with his own whimsy, and has always been able to complete the task at the minimum cost. Because of it, Long Yuhui took a fancy to him, and this time he was responsible for cooperating with a Marine Division, Long Yuhui did not hesitate to choose the Third Marine Division. And Wang Bo was one of the commanders of the command sent by the Marine Corps Command to give advice on landing operations.
Each branch of the armed forces has its own unique purpose, the army is the army, and it is only necessary to master the skills of land warfare, and it is inevitable that it will be difficult for this group of army soldiers, who are mostly landlubbers, to carry out such landing operations. But it's more appropriate to have these trained Marines log in.
It's like a war between the navy and the army, the two sides have different fields, so they don't have to fight at all, of course, this doesn't mean that one of them has no value at all. It's because everyone has the value of everyone's existence, but the value of their existence is different.
After Wang Bo boarded the accompanying warship, the entire huge fleet slowly started, with the splash of white flowers and the hope of the people of the whole country, they embarked on the journey. He became the first Wehrmacht officer to go abroad to fight, which also opened the change in the strategic surname of the Wehrmacht, from local defense to external attack.
The huge fleet, under the escort of two entire naval fleets, left the port of Pusan, but Busan is not too far from the mainland, if the navy encounters any difficult problems on the way. The newly built roadbed airfield can also be rushed there as quickly as possible to provide support. Although they didn't make planes specifically to attack warships, it was always possible to carry some napalm to disgust the enemy and disturb their minds, right?
In a naval battle, I really don't believe that they can still fire without scruples in the midst of a raging fire. Moreover, it is still the new type of military force of the Air Force that is making trouble, and if this is really the case, then it can only be said that the army of this country is really terrible.
After a short but long sea drift, the naval fleet finally arrived off the coast of Koga at about four o'clock in the afternoon. Confused and hesitant, the people stared blankly at the ships in the open sea, and their eyes showed a wave of fear. Many years ago, the Americans opened the door of the country in this way, and it was precisely because of the arrival of warships one after another that the country caught up with the process of reform and opening up.
Finally caught up with the trend of world reform, although it is still the last among the great powers, but it is also among the great powers. But everything slowly disappeared with the formation of the Chinese Empire, not only did all the previous efforts turn to ashes, but it seemed to become more difficult to rise again.
The citizens of the country, who have a slightly better eyesight, can clearly see the flags carried above the fleet on the sea. The dragon flag, the dragon flag has been lingering in the hearts of the people over the years, and every citizen, including children and the elderly, can clearly describe the specific appearance of the dragon flag. It is said that his attitude towards the enemy is obviously very correct, from the inside out, knowing oneself and knowing the other, but it is a pity that their opponent is the Chinese Empire, an opponent they cannot afford to play.
On the contrary, in addition to depicting the national flag of the Chinese Empire in his heart, he is actually not unfamiliar with the national flag of the Chinese Empire, because the fleet of the Chinese Empire has come to the mainland more than once. And every time they arrived, they brought endless pain to the people of Yue, in addition to the fruits that have been swallowing their voices for many years and silently working hard were shattered by the Chinese, and similarly, they also brought Yue himself into the pain of losing his loved ones.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the more than 800,000 soldiers lost on the Korean battlefield, these 800,000 soldiers alone came from 800,000 families, and how many of these 800,000 families should be heartbroken because of their deaths? In the hearts of the Chinese people, the hatred for the Chinese Empire is far from being an enemy in the sense of the word, and it seems that at some point, China and the two countries have formed an unforgettable hatred, a hatred that cannot be forgotten.
Wang Bo stood on the flagship Cambridge, observing Koga opposite, and through the high-powered telescope, he could see the situation on land clearly. The terrain here is not suitable for landing, and the place suitable for landing is garrisoned by the army. For the most convenient and speedy way, the fleet could return earlier to escort the second group of troops. Wang Bo decided to land in Koga. Most people in the Wehrmacht are ignorant of the landing operation. In this regard, it is basically what Wang Bo says, and there is no need to think about it at all. What's more, Wang Bo's ability is obvious to everyone, and there is no need to guess anything.
The situation in Koga was as Wang Bo expected, there were not many Japanese troops stationed here, not even a single shadow of the Japanese army. Even Wang Bo had already begun to wonder if he had never thought that the Wehrmacht would suddenly launch a landing operation against Yue. So even the most basic precautions are gone?
However, after thinking about it, I still feel that this situation is not very likely, and any country, especially an island country like Yuben, is surrounded by the sea and may be threatened by all sides at any time. In addition to increasing the investment in the navy, the army still needs to spend time, otherwise, if the enemy defeats the navy and goes to land, what will he do? Throw up your hands and surrender directly?
Obviously, this is not something that they can do, not to mention that they will not allow the emergence of a navy like jackals, tigers and leopards, and an army like ants in the country. Although this was still the case during World War II, it is not very obvious now.
Wang Bo's guess was only generally correct, and he did not expect the Chinese to attack the mainland so quickly, and similarly, they were not without the slightest defense. It's just that because the army has almost disappeared in Korea, the number of land forces in the country is simply not enough to support the entire coastal defense of the country. Therefore, the army and the army have only been deployed in a few places suitable for landing, and the rest of the places are basically solved by the people.
When the people saw the black and oppressive fleet, some people who had not completely messed up hurriedly spread their feet and ran towards the distant army. It is obviously impossible for these people to resist the attack of the Chinese defense forces. All they could do was to report the situation to the army, so that the army could mobilize troops to defend in time.
Unfortunately, the Yue army is not too far from Koga at the moment, but it is at least one or two hundred miles away, and they did not expect that the Chinese would be so bold to choose the landing site in Koga. Although the distance between this place and Busan is quite close, you also have to consider the reality, right? First, this is not suitable for landing, and second, this is also an area where I am very likely to focus on defense.
The distance of one or two hundred miles is not too far, but when the army arrives, I am afraid that the entire Third Marine Division has already landed, right? Or did the officers and men of the 72nd Army also land?
"Commander Deng! Let's go! Wang Bo nodded to Deng Shichang, the joint commander of the fleet next to him, and signaled that he could start.
The landing operation is not as simple as imagined, and it is not unilaterally completed by the Marine Corps. After the arrival of the naval fleet, in addition to assuming a combat posture, it is also necessary to change to a new formation, that is, a defensive formation, when it is confirmed that it can land, so as not to wait for the enemy navy to suddenly appear on the way and disturb the troops that are landing.
Troops are often the most vulnerable at this time, and if the navy is not able to provide good protection, it is not impossible for the landing force to be completely wiped out at sea, on the contrary, the probability of such a situation is quite high, and it is difficult to prevent it.
Deng Shichang nodded the same, between soldiers, sometimes there is no need for too many words, when the navy is training in peace, there is no less simulation of this situation, at this time, as the commander of the fleet, Deng Shichang, how can he not understand the truth of Wang Bo's meaning?
Deng Shichang quickly and concisely commanded the movement of the entire huge fleet, the change of formation, at this time it was also an extremely dangerous time, and it was also the most chaotic time for the entire fleet, not to mention that there were hundreds of large and small ships in the middle, and there was a famous Wehrmacht soldier on it. This time, the Chinese Empire can be regarded as having exhausted its blood.
In addition to the professional transport ships, even the ro-ro ships transporting armored troops were also pulled out, of course, the road was far away, and as for some other small fishing boats in the country, Wang Lin was reluctant to give orders to collect. If you rely on those small fishing boats alone, it is not certain when you will be able to get to the capital.
Eight submarines lurked silently around the entire fleet, sonar crews listened carefully to the echo of every radio wave, and the captain carefully lay on the periscope to observe the surrounding situation. The torpedo crews have been waiting all the time, and as long as the captain gives the attack coordinates, they can send the torpedoes that have been ready for a long time out of the torpedo compartment as soon as possible.
After just twenty minutes, a huge fleet of hundreds of warships had completed all the formation movements. The outermost part of the entire formation of the naval fleet was aimed at all directions where the enemy might appear. At the very front of the troop carriers, there are several large transport ships transporting the 3rd Marine Division. Because the combat missions of the Third Marine Division are different, the warships they ride on are also relatively concentrated.
"Login!" Seeing that the entire fleet had been prepared, the small boats on the landing ships were also full of officers and men of the 3rd Marine Division who were about to land, and the small landing craft carried by the rest of the ships were already on standby around the troop carriers, and they immediately drove to the side of the troop carriers to take over their tasks when the landing craft waiting in front left.
This kind of centralized cluster landing is not the first time that the Wehrmacht has used it, and if a huge fleet wants to carry out landing operations, how can it be done without dozens or hundreds of small landing craft? If many warships land together, it will inevitably appear more chaotic when landing, and the landing with such an integrated formation will be more conducive to combat.
When Wang Bo gave the order to land, the naval herald standing behind him immediately took out the signal firing gun he was carrying, and sent three red signal flares straight into the sky. Three red flares, carrying their characteristic chirping sounds, resounded throughout the sea off Koga. I may not understand what the Chinese are trying to do, but the [***] people in the naval formation are very clear. Their journey is about to begin!
After receiving the order to land, the landing craft instantly adjusted the engine on standby to the maximum, and the small motors made a roaring sound, and the landing craft rushed out one after another, and rowed white splashes on the surface. The officers and men of the Marine Corps looked left and right in a comfortable manner, as if they were observing the situation around them. But there was not a trace of nervousness on their faces, and a battle of this level might not be worth mentioning at all for them.
Before the landing, they had already learned the basic situation on the opposite side, and it was not that the officers and men of the 3rd Marine Division looked down on people when they were facing an area that was not defended by the enemy, but that was the case. In the eyes of some of the people, they did not have the slightest reason to worry while the landing craft was still on its way.
This was an extremely easy landing battle, a landing battle without any suspense, and the moment the officers and men of the 3rd Marine Division stepped on the landing craft and landed on the mainland, the landing battle was declared successful, and it was successful with zero casualties. However, the greatest contributor to the success of this landing battle was the Korean War that preceded it. If it weren't for the consumption of a large number of soldiers on the Korean battlefield, there would have been a certain number of Japanese troops stationed on Koga Beach at this moment, and in their rear, there would have been a large number of Japanese troops assembled on standby.
"Commander Deng, are we too gentle? The brothers of the 3rd Marine Division are so desperately logging in at the front, shouldn't our brothers in the navy also put a few fireworks to boost their morale? Wang Bo looked at Deng Shichang innocently and said jokingly.
"Well, the brothers of the 3rd Marine Division are working so hard, and our brothers in the navy naturally can't just sit idly by, so we should put a few fireworks to boost their morale." Deng Shichang smiled and agreed with Wang Bo's opinion. In his heart, why didn't he have such thoughts?
Four Chinese ships, a total of 32 twin 381 mm guns, the gunners unceremoniously aimed the main guns at Koga, the march along the way, so that they have long been tired of this boring war, and even the blood of the most basic battle period is gone. At this moment, there is such a chance to open fire, so will it still be hidden? It's just that the officers and men of the Chinese ships who didn't receive the order to bombard Koga are even more angry, and they are even more angry and scolded the four Chinese ships for their luck.
