Yin Jian, the commander of the garrison fleet at Bokou, knew that the remaining Yongfeng protective cruiser was powerless to resist the remaining Japanese fleet, and if there was no accident, it would definitely be sunk by the Japanese ship in the next battle, so Yin Jian ordered the Yongfeng protective cruiser to sail onto the shoal of the harbor and let the warship run aground on its own and use it as a fixed battery.

Soon after the protective cruiser Yongfeng ran aground, the naval officers and men on the Yongfeng and the officers and men of the Marine Corps on the coast of the port found that countless small boats were struggling to row in the direction of the port of the port of Bokou, and it seemed that the Japanese were about to make a forced landing.

Seeing this situation, Wang Youlin, the commander of the 1st Marine Brigade of the Marine Corps, immediately ordered the shore defense guns of the fort to fire at those small boats, although the 203 mm and 193 mm shore defense guns hit these small boats, and there was the feeling of the cannons hitting mosquitoes, but the warships of the Japanese Navy had just retreated a lot of distance. Let the coastal defense artillery almost no threat to them - excellent - excellent - small - say - more - new - the most - fastest - WWW.UUXS.CC - now, these large-caliber coastal defense guns are just used to bombard the Japanese boats that charge, how can you say that they can also kill a lot of Japanese soldiers!

Sure enough, when the large-caliber coastal defense artillery opened fire on the charging Japanese boat, it brought great pressure to the Japanese army officers and men who were trying to row the boat, and some unlucky Japanese boats were directly hit by large-caliber shells, and the boats disappeared into the sea with more than 20 Japanese army officers and men on them, and some large-caliber shells fell near the Japanese boats, overturning the Japanese boats at once.

The Japanese army officers and men rowed very quickly, and soon they were less than 5,000 meters away from the port of Bokou, at this time, the grounded Yongfeng protective cruiser also began to bombard these Japanese small boats with naval guns, and when the Japanese small boats got closer, the caliber 105 mm guns and 75 mm guns in the battery also began to bombard the Japanese small boats.

There were a total of 6 howitzers of 105 mm caliber and 12 field guns of 75 mm caliber in the three batteries. As the Japanese boats approached, the three batteries opened fire.

Soon the officers and soldiers of the 1 brigade of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army. Under the heavy fire of the batteries and the protective cruiser Yongfeng, they finally got closer and closer to the shore of Bokou Harbor. At this time, Lu Qianjinghe, the commander of the 27th Division, gave an order that the officers and men of the other brigade of his division also take the remaining small boats and row in the direction of Bokou Harbor to prepare to support the previous brigade.

Finally, some Japanese officers and men rowed small boats to the shore of Bokou Harbor, but they were immediately fired at by the light and heavy machine guns of the Northeast Marine Corps in the coastal fortifications, and many Japanese officers and men were shot and killed in small boats before they could get off the boats, and even some Japanese officers and men jumped from the boats into the waist-deep shallows, and many were shot in the sea. The artillery on the shore also fired continuous shells at the Japanese troops on the shore. In a short time, many corpses of Japanese officers and soldiers were already floating on the sea near the coast.

Although the warships of the Japanese Navy retreated to 8,000 meters away, or even farther, the four all-steel battleships of the Japanese Navy and the remaining one large fast armored cruiser continued to fire large-caliber shells at the coast.

However, as long as one shell happened to fall on the fortifications of the officers and men of the Northeast Marine Corps, it would bring great casualties to the officers and men of the Northeast Marine Corps.

The 27th Division of the Japanese Army set off first, and the officers and men of that brigade paid a very heavy price. Only then did they finally land on the coast, and then launched an attack on the fortifications of the Northeast Marine Corps.

"Onboard-on-board--" The Japanese officers and men shouted in Japanese, and their bayonet rifles poured like a tide to the fortifications guarded by the officers and men of the Northeast Marine Corps on the beach on the coast, most of which were built with sacks. Although rudimentary, it was more than enough to withstand the rifle bullets of the Japanese soldiers.

One by one, the charging Japanese officers and soldiers were shot dead on the beach, and the Japanese officers and soldiers behind were as if they could not see it. Continuing to carry the rifle with the bayonet on the board and shouting the load, stepping on the corpses of his comrades to attack.

After the end of the last war with the Qing Dynasty. In order to continue his policy of aggression and expansion, Emperor Meiji of Japan first promoted the spirit of bushido in Japan. Emperor Meiji needed bushido to boost morale and consolidate the army, and bushido to imprison and unify the minds of the people. For this reason, the Japanese authorities have unleashed full power of their propaganda tools and, under the guise of saving Japan, have forcibly inculcated such ideas as "the theory of the imperial state," "the spirit of Yamato," and "loyalty to the emperor."

In fact, Bushido was originally a set of moral systems, advocating self-denial, dedication, bravery, forbearance, and humility, but Emperor Meiji took it out of context and overemphasized courage and loyalty. The tampered bushido advocates reaching the pinnacle of one's life in a moment of dazzling beauty and exerting one's greatest value, and then ending one's life without nostalgia. A defeated samurai, only by committing suicide by disembowelment can he wash away his shame. In the past few years, the entire Japanese Army has been the most influenced by Bushido, and the officers and men of the Japanese Army who attacked the beach positions did not care about their own lives at all, and they only saw victory in their eyes.

The Northeast Marine Corps guarding the port of Bokou had only one regiment of more than 2,000 men, and the pressure on the officers and men of the Japanese Army, regardless of casualties, was very great; in particular, the officers and men of the other brigade of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army also rowed small boats to the coast in the face of artillery fire, and the officers and men of the Northeast Marine Corps guarding the port of Bokou were somewhat unable to hold on, and some of the beach positions had already fallen into the hands of the Japanese army.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the 1st independent garrison regiment of the Dingbei Army, which rushed over from Yuanfeng City, arrived at Bokou and strengthened the position along the coastline, especially the large number of mortars equipped by the independent garrison regiment, which increased the casualties of the 27th Brigade of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army, and the positions captured by the Japanese army returned to the hands of the defenders.

On the transport ship 10,000 meters away, he used a telescope to observe the commander of the 27th Division, Lu Maejinghe, who was engaged in landing operations, and saw that some of the beach positions he had seized were recaptured by the defenders because of the fierce artillery fire of the defenders, and the artillery support provided by the navy was not at all powerful, so he immediately threw the telescope on the ground angrily, and said angrily to the other two division commanders around him, Shoichi Minagawa and Haruo Ueno: "Those rice buckets of the navy can't even do artillery support, and they are so far away, how can the artillery be accurate, Look at the artillery support of the navy, more shells fell on our divisions than on the enemy's positions, who is this artillery support! ”

Haruo Ueno patted Lu Maejinghe on the shoulder and said: "Don't be angry, everyone knows what the navy is like, and when they brag, they show their strength one by one, and when it comes to this critical moment, they retreat." Now it is up to us, the true samurai, to settle the battle, and I will immediately send one brigade from my division to support the twenty-seventh division on the coast. ”

Lu Qianjinghe spit out a breath of turbidity, nodded and said: "It seems that we are the only ones who can rely on ourselves, I will immediately send the last 1 brigade to it, and today our 27th Division, no matter how much it costs, will also take the beach of Bokou Port!" ”

Maseichi Minagawa, who was appointed as the interim commander of the three divisions of the landing force, also said excitedly: "Only by carrying forward the spirit of bushido advocated by His Majesty the Emperor at any cost can we conquer the port of Hakuguchi, obtain a foothold on Sakhalin Island, and lay the foundation for the capture of the entire Sakhalin Island. ”

It's a pity that the three confident division commanders didn't even support the strength of one brigade, and it turned out that the small boats carried by their transport boats, that is, the lifeboats, had not been occupied much by the two brigades that launched the attack by the 27th Division, and now those small boats are on the coast of Bokou Harbor!

Temporary Commander Masaichi Minagawa couldn't help but pat his head, he didn't even think about such a thing, when setting off from Japan, he should prepare more small boats, in fact, the Japanese did not think that the port of Marukou was very difficult to overcome, so the number of small boats carried by the transport ships was ignored.

The two brigades of the 27th Division attacked until 5 p.m., not only did they not make the slightest progress, but suffered very heavy casualties, and finally, under the order of the division commander Lu Maejinghe, the remnants of the Japanese troops of the two brigades withdrew to the transport ship 10,000 meters away under the welcome of the artillery fire from Bokou Harbor.

After the remnants of the Japanese troops of the two brigades retreated to the transport ship, the number of people was counted, and the division commander Lu Maejinghe did not faint, and the 12,000 Japanese army officers and soldiers of the two fully organized brigades and regiments finally returned to the transport ship There were less than 3,000 people, and the two brigade commanders who led the troops to attack were all killed, and the wing commanders below were killed in 4, and the group leaders were killed in 9, and as for the lower-level officers, there were even more casualties, and these two brigades and regiments were completely disabled.

The division commander of the 26th Division, Haruo Ueno, saw the casualty figures, frowned and said to the temporary commander of the Shoichi Minagawa: "The casualties are really unexpected, if we continue to fight like this, our three divisions will be disabled, and we may not necessarily capture the port of Haruguchi." ”

Minagawa Shoichi frowned and asked, "Then what does Ueno-kun have to build yì?" ”

Haruo Ueno pointed to the map on the table in front of him and said: "The purpose of capturing the port of Marukou is to allow large ships to dock here, if our army takes a small boat, we can land at all without being in the port, we just need to land near the port of Haruguchi, and then the army will attack the port directly from the side or behind, and then take the port of Harukou." ”

Looking at the map, Minagawa couldn't help but nod thoughtfully. (To be continued......) R1292
