At 8:20 a.m., the last Japanese plane was blown up, and the naval guns stopped firing. The first landing force had already washed up to the coast, and at nine o'clock the sun had risen, and the sun had dispelled the faint morning mist, and all kinds of amphibious armored vehicles such as walruses, sea lions, and seals could be seen advancing on the sea. The landing craft lined up in a neat formation, wave after wave, with endless streams and orderly flow, and the entire landing process was very smooth.

In addition to the veritable "suicide" attack of the Shentefeng special attack team, the more than 30,000 soldiers of the 21st Army in Yangzhou who landed did not encounter the fierce resistance as imagined. Could it be that the Japanese army is going to play the tactics of Okinawa again, knowing that it is outmatched by firepower, but abandon the beach and retreat to the inland strongholds?

It shouldn't be! The coast of the Hyuga Beach is the South Kyushu Plain, and there is no danger to defend west of Miyazaki City. The Japanese army did not resist at all, which made the commanders of the 21st Army at all levels quite inexplicable and did not know why.

But later, the 21st Army, which received the order to advance in depth, soon discovered that it was not the Japanese army who deliberately did not resist, but the group of Helleye strategic bomber troops...... It's too ruthless.

The Japanese mainland, which was completely blocked, lacked steel and iron, and most of the fortifications were made of pine planks. The wreath of flames of the strategic bombing carried out in the early morning almost burned down most of the Japanese coastal fortifications, and the corpses of the devils in the tunnels lay on the ground, and their dead clothes were unbearable. Many soldiers of the Amphibious Regiment immediately lay on the edge of the trenches and roared wildly after jumping into the tunnel, and vomited all the eggs and bread mixed with milk and gastric juices that they had eaten on the ship before the battle.

Roasted sweet potatoes, roasted prawns, roasted suckling pigs, ...... all over the ground, why are they all roasted? If you dare to interview the soldiers who are vomiting, the answer you get must be: Your sister, if you mention food again, I will collapse you.

It was not that the Japanese did not want to hold the coastal positions, but suffered too many casualties and had to retreat to the second line of defense. The tragic situation at the Hyuga Beach was reported back to the General Headquarters, and the whole country pondered for a moment and ordered the Japanese pit to be blasted, and those roasted ...... The devil is buried inside, there are many reporters in the army, and if any of them don't open their eyes, or if they encounter a fool like Jeju Island, it will be troublesome to take a few photos.

However, this scene is a bit unbearable, the devil does not play according to the routine, and the script is ...... That's not how the battle plan is arranged! The task of the 21st Army was to open the landing ground, form a confrontation with the Japanese on the coastal defense line, attract the Japanese kamikaze to continue to attack the camouflaged tugboats, and create an opportunity for the air force to destroy them. But the Japanese army directly retreated to the second line of defense, which was Miyazaki and its suburbs, and the Hyuga Beach completely ceded it. Isn't it too fake to give you such a wide place, but the Allies have no troops to land?

The whole country Lin ordered the Second Army Corps of Nanyang, which had just arrived, to reinforce the east coast of Kyushu, and it would be a mistake, if it could break through the Miyazaki defense line in one fell swoop, it would be easy!

The Second Army of the South Seas was a newly formed regiment. The Mosu Regiment was crippled on the island of Okinawa, but it also left behind many veterans with battlefield experience. After arriving at the Jakarta Governor's Palace to take up the post of Governor of Nanyang, Qian Zhihao proposed that the veterans of the Mosu Army be the backbone and then organize into three Nanyang Legions, which was appreciated by His Majesty and won the strong support of the General Staff. After the campaign to land in Japan was launched, the soldiers of the empire were a little nervous, and only four of the 13th Army Corps of the Han Dynasty remained on the mainland, of which the Jizhou Army had to leave for the battlefield in northern China immediately. The Guards Corps also only left Xiao Guoxing's Second Army to guard Chang'an, and the only mobile force was the Coastal Corps, for such a huge battle, it was very dangerous to have only a reserve of more than 100,000 people, and the formation of the three legions in Nanyang was a great help to Ye Zhiqiu. Chief Ye has said in front of His Majesty more than once, "Zhihao should have been allowed to go to Nanyang a long time ago!" ”

The first thing Governor Qian did after taking office won a full house, and His Majesty also had a lot of face, after all, this is the person who went out of Weiyang Palace!

The 2nd Nanyang Corps, which departed from Taiwan, took two days to reach the Hyuga Beach, and the 21st Army did not wait for the initiative to attack Miyazaki. The 36 stars of Tiangang landed on the beach division map, which had long been thrown aside. The 63rd Division of the Amphibious Armored Forces took the lead in approaching the outlying positions of the Japanese army on the outskirts of Miyazaki City. The anti-tank weapons hidden in the trenches by the Japanese army caused great trouble for the lightly armored amphibious forces, more than 30 sea lions and walruses were destroyed, and the tracks of nearly 100 vehicles were damaged by Japanese human bombs.

Although it had long been expected that the Japanese army would resist desperately, after leaving the cover of the naval guns, the Japanese army's frantic attack still surprised the soldiers of the amphibious corps. It was not an imaginary battle at all, the Japanese light weapons could not resist the attack of the armored group, the trenches were not very useful in front of tracked vehicles, and the limited number of anti-tank rocket launchers and infantry guns could not effectively stop the advance of the tanks, so the Japanese launched a flesh-and-blood offensive. Like their pilots, the daredevils with white strips of cloth tied to their heads almost smiled at the tank, even if the dirt bombs and gasoline bottles in their hands did not cause much damage to the tank, they still did not hesitate to move forward. In a day's fighting, the 63rd Division advanced only two kilometers in front of the second line of defense against the Japanese. This is a disgraceful figure for an armored unit, and it also costs a hundred and thirty tanks for damage.

"The little devil has gone crazy!"

As night fell, and the fighting on all fronts had stopped, the whole country Lin held the day's casualty report and muttered in a low voice.

Long Zhou, the deputy commander-in-chief of the "White Rainbow" operation, took the report and nodded his head. Yes, even though the Allies were very well prepared, and after receiving the enemy's battle plan in advance, they made a number of targeted deployments, but after a day of fighting, the situation was still not very optimistic. Except for the Hyuga Beach, where the 21st Army easily broke through the coastal defense line, the battles at the other two landing sites were relatively difficult.

The two positions of Celestial Male Star and Celestial Fierce Star in Arimei Town actually changed hands several times. According to the plan, on the first day, the two landing sites on Kagoshima were feints, but a part of the 19th Army of the Yangzhou Army fought on the beach on the west side of the port of Arimeimachi, and the battalion commander did not retreat from the battlefield in disobedience. The commander of his regiment had no choice but to continue to reinforce and repeatedly fight for two coastal positions codenamed "Xiong" and "Meng", and the "Xiong" high ground finally ended in a short-handed manner, with more than half of the casualties of a certain regiment of the 19th Yangzhou Army participating in the battle, and the Japanese army also threw down at least one brigade on the "Xiong" heights.

Dong Chengbin, commander of the Yangzhou Army, was furious after receiving the report, and swept the division commander and brigade commander to whom the regiment belonged to him to the end on the spot, "Aren't you willing to work hard?" Okay, fulfill you, and let you two lead the charge tomorrow! Go fight the bayonet! ”

Disobedience on the battlefield is an unforgivable crime, and this is a relatively serious incident. But from another angle, it also proved that the Japanese army's will to resist was very strong. Every soldier of the Amphibious Corps can be called elite, and they have survived hellish training, and an ordinary unit of the Japanese army can fight like this with the Yangzhou Army, and it is not unreasonable for the General Staff to assess the casualties of the landing campaign before the war.

"Intelligence says that the Japanese army has deployed at least 3,000 suicide planes in Kyushu, and at the scale of today, we will be tested by at least two Kikusui attacks." The fat man grabbed an apple out of nowhere, took a big bite, stuffed his mouth and muttered while chewing.

He rubbed a red pipe in his hand and made no sound—the pipe was struck from the pipe control quartz.

After working together for this period of time, Long Zhou knew that the commander of the whole army was very arrogant and even a little ...... Tiger. However, whoever really thinks so is a real fool. If there is no merit, how could His Majesty put such a large army of nearly a million under his command? The commander just likes to use his unique way to let other commanders and staff officers around him think about problems easily and soberly.

And when the whole country is serious, he is often very quiet, which means that he has to make a decision, just like now.

Sure enough, after a while, the commander got up and knocked the clean and clean red nanmu pipe on the table - I don't know if Mao Quartz would be distressed to the point of dripping blood when he saw it.

"Devil, it's not as hard to fight as we thought!" Seeing everyone coming around, the first sentence of the national forest made everyone a little surprised, they are all like this, isn't it difficult to fight?

"Well, it's not hard to fight!" The commander seemed to be cheering himself up, and emphasized it again as if talking to himself!

"Commander-in-chief, do you have any other ideas?" Long Zhou saw the firmness and confidence in the eyes of the national forest.

"That's right, everyone!" The early spiritual staff officer opened the map curtain on the wall, and the national forest held a red cigarette butt and pointed to a beachhead marked with the word "Xiong".

That is the Xionggao Heights where fierce fighting took place today and led to the dismissal of a division commander and a brigade commander of the Yangzhou Army.

"Xiong Shan and Meng Beach are the battleground for the Japanese army's famous town coastal defense line, if these two positions are in our hands, we can use the firepower advantage to break through their entire defense line, under the cover of firepower, we can completely send an elite army to penetrate in depth, then, the Japanese defense line will have to retreat on the whole line."

The red pipe slammed again, attracting everyone's eyes focused on the map, and the whole country Lin widened his eyes, "If we don't take the initiative to withdraw the Yangzhou Army today, if we invest more forces in the landing today, is it possible for us to completely take these two positions?" With a light twist of his fingers, the commander snapped his fingers like a street youth in later generations, "The answer is yes!" In this case, the Japanese did not send their planes again, nor did they send other troops to support, indicating that their other positions were tight, and their kamikaze forces had suffered too many losses in our continuous bombardment, and were no longer able to organize another counterattack in one day. I bet with you that in tomorrow's Kikusui attack, the Japanese army will not be able to take out more than 500 planes! ”

The staff officers all laughed, snapping their fingers for the commander-in-chief. Only Long Zhou's eyes lit up, "Commander, that's the ...... tomorrow"

"That's right, Commander Long, we can give it a go tomorrow, and we don't have to be afraid of the kamikaze." The red cigarette butt seems to have become the baton in the hands of the national forest, and what is about to be staged will be a symphony concert that will attract the attention of the world.

Yes, artillery fire is percussion, gunfire is strings, and rumbling tanks are wind music, music that is sprayed out of long barrels!

The name of the track is "Kyushu Funeral March".
