In the dark night, the waves gently lap against the shore and make a rhythmic sound, and the hazy coastline is distinct. There was silence as a group of figures marched southwest along the coastline, marching in a column. Soon, the team stopped, and a person came down from the front, walked up to a tall man, and said: "Report to the captain, there is a Japanese blockade line ahead!" The tall man took out his pocket watch and glanced at it in the moonlight and said, "There are still 10 minutes left, and the main force will start to attack." Having been attracted by the Japanese, we crossed the blockade line. ”

This group is another part of the special forces led by Ma Kai, and their mission is to quietly advance along the coastline in the direction of Akiyama. About 5 kilometers northeast of the port of Akiyama, there is a place called Stone Cliff, where Ma Kai led his troops to meet the secret landing of the Marines at Stone Cliff. In normal times, a covert landing would not be possible. Now the situation is different, after the main force launched an attack on the Japanese Yeling defensive line, the Japanese army can only secretly land when the Japanese deployment is chaotic. At that time, the attention of the Japanese army was drawn to the northeast, and the attention of the Japanese army was also focused on the defense of the port of Akiyama, so it created a good opportunity for the Marines to make a secret landing.

If the Japanese Yeling defense line was broken through before midnight, the Japanese army would not pay attention to the stone cliff at all. The coastline of the stone cliff itself is mountainous, and the sea side is a cliff, and the cliff height is about 100 meters, if you choose to land secretly in this place, unless your head is in the water, and there are Japanese defense troops on the cliff. After research, the headquarters believed that even if there were Japanese defensive troops on the cliff, there would certainly not be many troops. Therefore, the Front Command entrusted the commander of the 1st Army. Ordered Ma Kai to lead a part of the special operations soldiers to seize the stone cliff to welcome the Marine Brigade to secretly go ashore. The task of the Marine Brigade was to attack the port of Akiyama.

It has been learned. The port of Akiyama is a U-shaped harbor, and landing ships entering the harbor will inevitably be attacked by the Japanese fortified batteries, so the marines who secretly landed in the harbor must occupy the Japanese fortified forts. If special forces are left alone to carry out this task, the number of troops is too small. The Japanese army suffered losses repeatedly, so the Japanese army must have sent heavy troops to guard the forts. According to the battle situation, the front army headquarters should take a two-pronged approach and quickly take the port of Akiyama. At present, it is very dangerous for a large force to be completely hidden at sea. Once the storm comes, it will be devastating.

The sound of artillery was heard in the distance, and the team members were shocked. Ma Kai waved his hand, and the team members immediately began to act. Soon they reached the vicinity of the barbed wire. Not far away, there was a Japanese wooden watchtower, on which a Japanese sentry craned his neck to look east, and the sentry's attention was completely attracted. The spearhead quickly cut through the barbed wire. The team members passed in turn. Nearly 150 people passed through the barbed wire. Swift and silent. The Japanese sentries were still looking at Dongsha stupidly, but they didn't expect a group of killing gods to pass by quietly, and there was no danger. Although the Japanese army was heavily guarded, the team members seized this short opportunity to safely enter the Japanese defense area.

After dawn, the team hid in a reef thicket. To prevent exposure, you can't move during the day. At this time, the players were all asleep. Ma Kai was not sleepy, and temporarily acted as a sentry to serve as a guard. From time to time, Japanese patrols appeared on the shore. Ma Kai secretly wondered: I wonder if the main force has broken through the Japanese Yeling defense line, and what is the situation of the battle? "Captain, take a break! It's still early in the dark! A squad leader walked up to the front and said. I'm not sleepy, I can't sleep when I lie down, you check the map, how far is it from the cliff? ”

The team leader took out the map and looked at it for a long time: "From the map, it is about 20 kilometers away from the stone cliff, and considering the uncertainty of the map, the estimated error is about 3 kilometers. Ma Kai said: "At about 7?30 p.m., we must rush to the stone cliff before 0:00, which means that we must arrive at the stone cliff in 4 and a half hours, and there can be no accidents on the way." In addition, we do not know how many Japanese troops were stationed on the stone cliff, and the time is quite short. ”

"The headquarters ordered the Southern Advance Corps to attack the port of Akiyama in two days, and this was only one hand. Only when the Marine Brigade successfully landed and launched an attack on the port of Akiyama created the conditions for the landing of our 2nd Corps in the port of Akiyama. After the Southern Advance Corps broke through the Japanese Yeling defensive line, the Japanese army would definitely have to resist step by step, so the Japanese army had to draw a large number of troops to block it. Now everything is clear, the headquarters of the Front Army used a combination of punches, the purpose of which was to make the Japanese army head and tail, understand? "My subordinates understand!" "Wake up a few detachment leaders, let's take a closer look."

The daytime is hard, and time seems to freeze. In the distance, the sound of artillery could be heard from time to time. It seems that the front is slowly advancing, as evidenced by the sound of artillery. After dark, the team members set out, and along the way they encountered several Japanese troops, because the Japanese troops resisted the attack from the northeast with all their might, and the Japanese troops in the defense area were very frequent, so they were able to move forward smoothly. There was a mountain range ahead, and the destination stone cliff had arrived, and Mackay glanced at his pocket watch, where the hour and minute hands pointed to 11 o'clock.

The troops halted their advance, and soon after, the reconnaissance team returned. "Report to the captain, there is a squadron of Japanese troops stationed on the stone cliff, and there are not many troops." "We have to take the cliff before 12 o'clock and then signal to the sea. In order to ensure the safety of the landing of the Marine Brigade, try not to shoot during the battle, and don't want a living mouth. "Understood!" There was a sentry post in front, there were two Japanese soldiers standing guard, in the dark, two figures suddenly jumped up, the Japanese sentry was killed, and under the dim horse lamp, the two team members quickly acted as the Japanese sentry.

The team members crossed the watchtower and quickly dispersed to touch the Japanese barracks. The battle unfolded silently, and the Japanese barracks were in a room, in which about a squad of Japanese soldiers was sleeping soundly. The 10 team members quietly touched in, each looking for a target, and the Japanese soldiers died in a deep sleep. Such a scene was played out in the other rooms at the same time, and the battle went very well. "Report to the captain, everything has been solved, and after a search, no escapes were found. One squadron of Japanese soldiers was killed. "Inside a fortress, a subordinate excitedly reported. Mackay took out his pocket watch again and looked at it, 10 minutes before 12 o'clock.

Immediately signaled to the sea, and soon three bonfires were lit on top of the cliff, indicating that the stone cliff had been occupied by the special combat team. Soon the shadow of the fleet appeared on the sea. Due to the depth of water on the shore, the landing ship landed directly on the shore. Marines, quickly climb along the rope. The marines were well trained and climbed very fast. The soldiers climbed the cliffs. Quickly spread out in all directions to prevent the Japanese from detecting and attacking. About 4 divisions in the morning, about 4,000 officers and men of the Marine Corps all climbed the cliff.

"Captain Ma, let's meet again!" Marine Brigade Commander Wang Qiang and Ma Kai hug. "Brigade Commander Wang, now is not the time to greet each other, does the headquarters ask for the time to occupy the Japanese fortress battery?" "The headquarters demanded that the Japanese battery be taken at 1 p.m." "The 2nd Corps attack was launched at 8 a.m. The main thing was to launch a feint attack to cover the capture of the batteries by our brigade. Captain Ma, your mission is accomplished. It is possible not to participate in the action. "Brigade Commander Wang, you know my character, can you stand by and watch me attack you?" "Brother Ma, I knew you would say that. How about you cover the offense? "Then let's do it!"

The defense headquarters of the Japanese army was located in Masuda. It is a large market town. At this time, the atmosphere in the Japanese defense headquarters was abnormal, and the commander Watanabe's eyes were red and his face was grim. The chief of staff of the Japanese army reported: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army is on the offensive very fiercely. After the Chinese army broke through the Yeling defensive line this morning, we had to carry out a continuous blockade. So far, six divisions have been put into defense, but they still cannot stop the pace of the Chinese army's attack. Chinese troops have advanced to Nagata, 60 kilometers from the port of Akiyama. ”

Watanabe said: "Order to block the troops, be sure to delay the enemy's attack, and our reinforcements are already ashore on Hiroshima." Reinforcements are being sent to the Akiyama area. As long as we hold out for a day and a night, the offensive of the Chinese army will be contained. Americans are simply stupid pigs. The retreat actually did not blow up the artillery. The Chinese Corps that landed in Hamada was able to successfully break through the Yeling defense line with the use of captured American artillery," Watanabe said with an angry face. "It's too late to regret it now, if you don't let the U.S. military units participate in the defense of the coastline, the outcome will not be like this!" The chief of staff sighed.

"Report, the Chinese army is in the port of Akiyama, and has launched another offensive!" An operations staff officer put down the phone and reported it. "It's a feint again, don't pay attention to him!" Commander Watanabe seems to be at ease with the port of Akiyama. In less than half an hour, the bad news came, a large number of Chinese troops were found in the northwest direction of the port of Akiyama, how could this be that? Watanabe didn't believe it at all. But the facts soon alarmed him. Worse news came, when the Chinese army, which suddenly appeared out of nowhere, launched an attack on the guard units of the artillery of the fortress on the north side of the port.

Watanabe was in a hurry when he heard the news, and immediately dispatched a brigade to support the fortress battery. At the same time, the port defense troops were ordered to prevent the enemy from launching a landing operation. "Your Excellency, the Chinese troops that appeared on the north side of the fortress must have secretly landed at Stone Cliff. The fact that the secret landing went so smoothly meant that there were responding troops, otherwise the guards stationed at the cliff would have reported it. Watanabe closed his eyes and said, "A squadron was wiped out silently, and it must have been done by that devil army." The 82nd Division's regimental headquarters was destroyed, which then caused the collapse of the second line of defense, which was also called by the devil's troops. The tactics of the Chinese have simply reached the point of pure fire, and we cannot expect what they think and think. ”

If it comes to an attack from the northeast, Watanabe still has confidence. For the crisis from the port of Akiyama, Watanabe realized that it was terrible. Once the port of Akiyama changed hands, the landing of Chinese troops on the Japanese mainland was a foregone conclusion. At that time, the Chinese field corps will land like a tidal wave, and then ??????。 Thinking of this, Watanabe broke out in a cold sweat. Watanabe was a steady military man who was very much opposed to the tactics of tamama crushing when the battle was unfavorable. How can you fight when everyone is dead? Therefore, Watanabe repeatedly warned his subordinates that they could choose to retreat in times of crisis.

There were clouds of warships on the sea off the port of Akiyama, and at this time, all the covering fleets participating in the Hamada landing operation turned to the direction of Akiyama. On the flagship of the Beijing, the figure of He Meng, the commander of the front army, appeared on the deck. At this moment, He Meng took the telescope to check in the direction of the port, and beside him stood Deng Shichang, the commander of the covering fleet, and Wen Weiguo, the commander of the 2nd Corps. "Commander, the Japanese fortress artillery formed an artillery blockade, and the landing force could only wait for the Marine Brigade to occupy the battery." 2 Corps Commander Wen Wei National Road.

"Dense gunfire came from the direction of the battery, indicating that the Marine Brigade had begun to attack. After a while, the battery bombardment has weakened, and you can attack. I reckon that the Japanese will attack the naval brigade at any cost, so the landing operation cannot wait to be carried out at the same time. He Meng said decisively. Sitting in command on Jiju Island, he could not see the real situation of the forward direction, He Meng decided to personally command the landing operation, so He Meng's figure appeared on the battleship Beijing. (To be continued......)

PS: The implementation of the combination punch is to take the port of Akiyama with double insurance.
