The commander of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Ueda Arisawa, wanted to drive the Chinese marines into the sea while the Chinese marines had just landed and had not yet gained a firm foothold. Therefore, in this attack, more than 10,000 people of the 47th Division of the Japanese Army were thrown into the attack at one time, in a vain attempt to win with the tactics of crowds. It's just that Ueda still underestimated the Chinese Marine Corps, or rather, he looked too highly up on the 47th Division of the Japanese Army, thinking that the attack of the 47th Division of the Japanese Army would work, but in fact, this attack was completely suicidal.

The 47th Division of the Japanese Army was formed after the Japanese Army began to expand its army frantically, and the main soldiers were some retired soldiers and newly recruited soldiers. In addition, the equipment of the 47th Division of the Japanese Army was also very poor, although it met the needs of one rifle per man, but it lacked heavy firepower such as heavy machine guns and artillery, and the entire division only had ten heavy machine guns and ten old 75mm field guns mass-produced in 1883. Such firepower simply could not bring good fire cover to their offensive.

At this moment, the artillery battalion of the 1st Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps, as well as other units directly under the brigade, are landing and cannot provide fire support to the troops on the front line. On the front-line positions, there were only 5 battalions. Moreover, the positions of the Japanese troops were under the shelling of the warships of the Chinese Navy before. It has been largely destroyed. Defense is greatly reduced.

"Order the ministries. Get ready to shoot! Send a telegram to the Navy asking them to provide us with artillery support! Brigadier General Zhang Jin, commander of the 1st Marine Corps Brigade, ordered.

In less than two minutes, the warships of the Chinese Navy on the sea reacted and began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment on the Japanese 47th Division, which was frantically attacking. Dense shells exploded in the attacking Japanese army, and the air wave generated lifted these Japanese soldiers into the air, and countless Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces in the explosion. In particular, the main guns of battleships and heavy cruisers. Often, within a radius of two hundred meters, there is hardly a living thing to be seen.

"Fire!" When the Japanese rushed to less than 500 meters from the position of the 1st Marine Brigade of the Li, the officers at the front gave the order to open fire. For a time, rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and mortars opened fire one after another, and the dense firepower defeated the attacking Japanese soldiers one after another. The Japanese soldiers who charged were like cutting wheat, and they were knocked to the ground by rows, and they could not rush to the range of 200 meters at all.

"Boom! Rumble! "Under the double blow of the naval guns of the Chinese Navy and the fierce fire of the marines. The attack of the 47th Division of the Japanese Army was completely contained. And, the casualties were very heavy.

In just half an hour, the 47th Division of the Japanese Army paid the price of more than half of the casualties. And they still did not achieve any results, and were stubbornly suppressed in front of the positions of the 1st Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps.

In the face of huge casualties, no matter how crazy the Japanese army was, it was slowly cooled down by blood. The Japanese 47th Division began to retreat, and the Japanese counterattack ended in heavy losses.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the 47th Division has failed!" The chief of staff of the 15th Division reported to Ueda Yuzawa.

"Order them to come back! Let the 42nd Division enter the city and prepare for street fighting with the Chinese! Fortunately, all the Japanese in the city threw themselves into resisting the attack of the Shina people. Ueda Arisawa ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency Division Commander!" The chief of staff nodded. Fukuoka is one of the larger cities on the Japanese island of Kyushu, home to more than 200,000 Japanese people. Even after the squadron was about to launch a landing operation against Japan, there were not many fewer Japanese here. One of the most important reasons is that they can get some food from the sea when they live by the sea, and if they flee inland, they are likely to starve to death.

After repelling the Japanese attack, the Chinese Marines did not attack the city of Fukuoka, but began to build a defensive line against a possible next Japanese attack. The warships of the Navy, also approaching the coast, began to rain shells on the city of Fukuoka.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "One by one, the guns pierced the air, emitted a shrill whistle, and fell into the city of Fukuoka. Orange-red fireballs rose in the city. A large number of Japanese houses were smashed to pieces by shells, and many Japanese were killed in the explosion. Those who were not killed by the bombing also rushed out of the houses and fled in all directions.

Many Japanese houses are made of wood, which can easily cause fires. The wooden houses were soon set on fire, and slowly, the whole of Fukuoka seemed to be on fire.

"Yaga! These damn Chinese people actually opened fire on civilians, they are simply pigs and dogs! Vice Admiral Ueda scolded after learning of the Chinese Navy's unscrupulous shelling of the city of Fukuoka. However, no matter how fierce he scolded, he couldn't stop this qiē from happening. The Japanese groaned in pain during the shelling of the Chinese Navy.

Two infantry divisions of the Second Army and artillery brigades of corps units began to land. Two brigades of the Marine Corps will be tasked with protecting the beachhead, while the attack on Fukuoka will be carried out by units of the Second Army. The remaining units of the Second Army, which had set out from Incheon in North Korea, would also begin to land in the afternoon, and the landing of the squadron in Fukuoka had already been victorious. Next, it's time to expand the results even further.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of October 21, the 14th and 21st Divisions of the Second Army, supported by artillery fire, launched an attack on Fukuoka. The artillery brigade of the Second Army, with more than 200 heavy guns, opened heavy fire on Fukuoka. The artillery battalions of several infantry divisions also joined in the shelling. Coupled with the naval artillery fire of battleships and heavy cruisers at sea, the whole of Fukuoka trembled under the shelling of the squadron.

"Boom! Rumble! "Dense shells continued to explode on the Japanese defense line, and fireballs rose in the air on the Japanese positions. The Japanese defense line was blown up in scattered pieces in the fierce shelling of the squadron.

Soon, the squadrons of two divisions launched an attack on the Japanese positions. After only two charges, the squadron entered the Japanese position. Then they began to clear the Japanese troops in the position. After the position was breached, the remnants of the Japanese 47th Division, which was defending the position, had to withdraw from the position and withdraw to the city of Fukuoka. The squadron also took the opportunity to attack the city, and the tragic street battle began.

After the squadron entered the city of Fukuoka, the large-caliber artillery stopped shelling, and only infantry guns and heavy mortars entered the squadron with the squadron that attacked the city to provide fire support for the attacking squadron. The squadron was dispersed into small units mainly platoons, and marched through the city to clear out the Japanese troops inside one by one.

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" The Japanese also realized that they had no way to retreat. A large number of Japanese troops, in the urban area of Fukuoka, relied on the barricades they had built before, and competed with the squadron for the control of every street and every house. There were also many Japanese soldiers, hiding in houses on both sides of the street, firing cold shots at the squadron.

As a last resort, the squadron had no choice but to let go of every house and eliminate the Japanese soldiers inside one by one.

Twelve soldiers of the 141st Battalion of the 141st Regiment of the Second Army, 2nd Company, 1st Platoon, 1st Platoon, 1st Squad attacked a small alley, where several Japanese soldiers who resisted had been killed, but the squad leader was not at ease, and ordered the soldiers to start clearing the houses on both sides one by one, for fear that there were Japanese soldiers hiding inside.

"Bang!" A soldier kicked open the door of a room, and inside, a middle-aged Japanese man protected a Japanese woman and a child behind him, their eyes full of horror.

"Squad leader, it's a civilian!" The soldier glanced at it, and after noticing the Japanese soldier, he turned around and reported to the squad leader.

And he didn't see it, but a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Japanese man.

"The Emperor is onboard!" The Japanese man suddenly grabbed a katana and frantically stabbed at the Chinese soldier.

Sensing the danger, the Chinese soldiers hurriedly caveed, but still did not dodge. The katana stabbed through the back of his heart, blood gushing out of his mouth, and he didn't seem to think at all about why his kindness would be exchanged for this result.

"Little Tiger! Dog day! Lao Tzu killed you! Seeing this, the squad leader was also shocked, and the pistol in his hand had already fired, beating the hideous Japanese man into a sieve.

However, even if you kill this Japanese, you can't get back the lives of your comrades. The furious squad leader walked towards the Japanese woman and child in the house, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"Squad leader, it's just a woman and a child, don't kill them!" Some soldiers dissuaded.

"Humph! Do you see the hatred in the eyes of that little Japanese mongrel, keep him, and wait until he grows up to kill us? The squad leader said hatefully.

"Bang bang!" Two gunshots rang out, and the Japanese women and children fell in pools of blood.

During the street fighting, many Chinese soldiers were attacked by Japanese civilians, killing and wounding many others. Some Japanese old men and children, who seemed to be completely unthreatening, attacked the Chinese soldiers without fear of death, which caused heavy losses to the squadron.

When this situation was reported, Major General Xie Dingkun, commander of the Second Army, immediately issued an order to kill all the resisting Japanese, whether soldiers or civilians! At this moment, the squadron, which was enraged by the sacrifice of its comrades, completely let go of its hands and feet. As long as the Japanese who are hostile to Xiàn, whether they are old or children, whether they are men or women, all of them will be killed! (To be continued.) )
