It was not unreasonable for Du Kaishan to choose the Japanese Marines on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang first, whether it was from the comparison of the strength and equipment of the enemy or ours, or from the location of the unit. ??.?? The participating troops who were originally responsible for Sun Zhengzhuang's front-line operations originally thought that such a small Japanese army, including a large number of ship soldiers, would be solved in less than half a day.

But no one thought that these Japanese soldiers wearing naval uniforms would be so tenacious in battle. The battle to encircle and annihilate this special Marine Corps ashore the navy was difficult, even on top of the 93rd Wing. In particular, this Marine Corps, although it belongs to the Navy, is not inferior to the Army in terms of training and combat quality.

Although there was only one night to use before, this Marine moved quite quickly. Taking advantage of this last calm night, a complete set of relatively complete fortifications with plum blossom-shaped fortifications as the center of Sun Zhengzhuang was quickly constructed.

Moreover, a large number of anti-artillery holes and a large number of communication trenches were dug in the entire fortification complex. Due to time constraints, it was not possible to construct a solid permanent fortification. All troop movements were to be converted to the use of trenches as far as possible. The firing points of the entire fortification group are arranged in a cross arrangement, and there are many firepower points that are reversed. The 11 Type 2 fireboats and four Type 97 tanks of the tank wing to which he belonged were also concealed and deployed in the village.

In the landing operation carried out by the Japanese army in Qikou, the landing site chosen by the Japanese Navy for this special marine unit was in the direction of Mapengkou north of Qikou, and skillfully avoided the false targets deployed in Du Kaishan in front of Qikou, showing the main defensive position of the Anti-Japanese Union.

As for the Navy's careful thinking, Vice Admiral Yoshio last month did not pay attention. Because before the implementation of the landing plan, neither Yoshio last month nor the commanders of the two army divisions who participated in the war did not attach importance to this thousand-man marine. For them, the more than 1,000 marines dispatched by the Navy actually play a symbolic role. There are not many of them, and there are not many of them.

The navy did not land at Qikou with the army, and chose the line of Mapengkou in the northerly direction. ??.? And because of the two army divisions in front of Qikou, most of Du Kaishan's eyes were attracted. When Du Kaishan shelled the line from Qikou to Zhangjuhe, the Japanese landing site, this Japanese Marine Corps did not suffer a severe blow.

Compared with the two divisions of the army that were disrupted, the entire structure and equipment were relatively intact. Except for a few special II internal fireboats, which were destroyed on the sea and on the beachhead. Almost all the heavy weapons have been preserved quite intact.

In addition, the sailors who escaped from the destroyed light ships and armed with weapons discarded by the beachhead army also strengthened the strength of this marine corps in disguise. Because the original Japanese Marine Corps was small, the range of activities of the navy was large. Therefore, ships and soldiers are often dispatched ashore to carry out guards, and even put into front-line operations when necessary.

Therefore, after the recruits recruited by the Japanese Navy enter the navy, they have to conduct some land combat training when they are trained in the naval regiments of various towns and garrisons, that is, the recruit training regiments. Although it is not as rigorous as the training of recruits in the Japanese Army, the ground combat training is not as comprehensive as that of the Army. But when necessary, there is absolutely no problem with landing operations.

Although the combat effectiveness of these ships is not strong, the military quality is not high. But pick up a gun, and you can also engage in ground combat. Although the light ships that escaped from the light ships destroyed on the Qikou line did not play a big role, they also increased the strength of this naval special marine corps in disguise.

Of course, these ships who were forced to land and fight were only those landing ships along the coast, plus the sailors on light ships. The soldiers on the large ships more than 10 kilometers away from the coastline were basically frozen in the still cold sea water of the Bohai Bay in the spring because they were trapped in a minefield and too far from the coastline.

When Du Kaishan judged the enemy situation on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang, he made a certain mistake in judging the combat effectiveness of these warships. He did not include the sailors whose ships he destroyed into the combat strength of the Japanese army??.??. He basically didn't know anything about the navy, and he didn't think of those ships as people who could fight with guns.

In other words, Du Kaishan made a small mistake in judging the strength of the Japanese army on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang. Although this mistake is not too big a mistake on the whole. However, it is precisely this mistake that has caused certain loopholes and deficiencies in the deployment of troops.

The error in judging the strength of the enemy army also led the troops on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang, in addition to occupying an absolute advantage in tank performance, in terms of firepower, they only had a relative advantage in terms of troops. Coupled with the extraordinary tenacity of this Japanese marine, it can be said that this battle ended in this way, which can also be said to be not a surprise.

Despite the first round of attacks by the Anti-United Nations, they took advantage of their tank performance and artillery top. The Japanese Navy's tank wing, most of the special 2 type internal fireboats, special 3 internal fireboats, as well as amphibious landing armored vehicles, which have simple armor protection and can also load two torpedoes to fight against ships when necessary, and two special 4 internal fireboats with real yàn characteristics, were destroyed.

The No. 3 tank invested in the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang's anti-union resistance, although the 50-millimeter gun was slightly less powerful. But it was easy to destroy these thin-skinned and thin-skinned inner fireboats. What's more, behind these No. 3 tanks, there are also 76-mm cannons with direct aim to cooperate with the battle.

These are actually the so-called special two and three internal fireboats of amphibious landing tanks, but in fact, in addition to being able to move on the water, their armor protection is extremely weak. In land combat, its performance is at most equivalent to that of the Japanese Army's Type 95 light tank. The 37-mm guns were basically no threat to the tanks of the United Nations.

As soon as the two armies clashed, most of these so-called internal fireboats, which were thin and not thick-skinned, were destroyed. However, the remaining few vehicles, with the cooperation of the only Type 97 tank squadron in the wing, relied on the village of Sun Zhengzhuang, which had long been fortified and deserted except for the Japanese army, to constantly cover the infantry to defend to the death, and even constantly launched tactical counterattacks.

Faced with the situation of Sun Zhengzhuang's battle situation dragging the overall situation back, Du Kaishan was not ambiguous while being annoyed. He simply ordered the troops on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang to trap the Japanese army in the division and make it impossible for them to move closer to the Ninth Division. The 122nd Rocket Artillery Company was mobilized to the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang, plus a 150 howitzer company, a 76 cannon company, and a 105th howitzer company.

It is planned to use these reinforced artillery units to cooperate with the original artillery participating in the battle, and concentrate their firepower to wipe the Japanese marines in Sun Zhengzhuang directly from the map along with Sun Zhengzhuang, a small village in the Bohai Bay. After the fire coverage is over, let the infantry go directly up and sweep so that the battle can be ended as much as possible.

Anyway, after nearly a day of fierce fighting, although it failed to completely annihilate this Japanese navy in his eyes, it was somewhat out of bounds. After a day of fierce fighting, it was certainly not possible to completely solve these marines. But according to the battle situation reported by the troops below, there should not be many enemy troops left.

It's not that he can't solve this Japanese army, it's that he doesn't want and can't use his limited forces to be pinned down indefinitely by a certain battlefield. In such a small battlefield, it is very uneconomical to drag one of his reinforced regiments and an armored corps in the eyes of Du Kaishan. Moreover, if Sun Zhengzhuang's enemy army is not resolved, it will never be able to complete the isolation of the Ninth Division.

Du Kaishan, who thinks that he doesn't have much time and has been delayed on a battlefield for too long. After nearly a day of fierce fighting, the opponent was no more than a thousand marines, plus no more than a few hundred ships on the battlefield of Sun Zhengzhuang, and he was very dissatisfied that he had not yet solved the problem. But the tension of the battle situation didn't give him much time to adjust and scold his mother, so he simply came to a complete solution.

After adding some artillery to participate in the battle, Du Kaishan ordered the tank troops on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang to be attached to a reinforced infantry battalion. Don't continue to delay in Sun Zhengzhuang. Turning from between Sun Zhengzhuang and Tiger Wolf Village, it was diagonally inserted into the flank of the Ninth Division. As for the battle of Sun Zhengzhuang, it was left to the infantry and artillery to solve.

There are not many Japanese troops left in Sun Zhengzhuang, and there are basically no heavy weapons of Japanese troops. After mobilizing so many artillery, they didn't need so many tanks to take care of it, and they didn't have that much face. The top priority now is to build a two-way encirclement on the flanks of the Ninth Division.

After completing the adjustment of the deployment, Du Kaishan personally picked up the field telephone and gave the death order to the former enemy commander on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang. They are required to completely eliminate the enemy forces on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang before midnight today, and absolutely not allow the situation of delaying the overall retreat.

Although there were some mistakes in the judgment of Sun Zhengzhuang's enemy situation in the front, Du Kaishan's grasp of the battle situation in the back was still very accurate. At the same time that he gave the death order to the front-line troops, the Japanese Navy's Yokosuka Seventh Special Marine Corps and the Navy's Independent Combat Vehicle Wing on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang also reached the most difficult moment.

As the top priority of the first round of attacks, although the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang did not withstand such a large-scale air attack as the 44th Division on the front line of Sanhuzhuang. Nor did it suffer nearly 10,000 rounds of shells in one day like the main force of the Ninth Division in Tiger Wolf Village. And among the shells that fell on the head, large-caliber artillery accounted for a considerable number.

However, under the continuous attack of a reinforced infantry regiment reinforced with tanks and artillery, this limited marines no matter how stubborn the resistance was, no matter how complete the fortifications were. But in the end, the number of troops is still limited, and it is at a disadvantage in terms of firepower. After a day of fierce fighting, although he stubbornly resisted the attack of the anti-coalition forces and held the core position of Sun Zhengzhuang, his own casualties also reached 6/7 of the total strength.

It can be said that even with the collection of remnants of the ship's sailors, the current Japanese Navy's Yokosuka 7th Special Marine Corps can already be regarded as a heavy loss. In particular, the heavy equipment has basically been completely lost under the superior firepower of the Anti-United Nations. By the evening of the same day, only one mortar remained on the entire line of Japanese troops in Sunzhengzhuang, and the rest of the artillery had been lost.

The only independent tank wing of the Navy that was sent to the war by the Navy was also the only independent tank wing of the Navy. In addition to the tanks on the beachhead and destroyed on the sea, the remaining 20 or so internal fireboats, plus a squadron of Type 97 tanks, were all destroyed after a day of hard fighting.

At present, all the peripheral positions of the Japanese army on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang have been lost. The remaining strength of the Japanese marines could only retreat to the village of Sun Zhengzhuang, which was only the size of a palm. After a day of fierce fighting, the only remaining ruins in the village were stubbornly defended. In other words, the Japanese marines on the front line of Sun Zhengzhuang are already at the last moment.
