If it weren't for the sailors on the Akitsu Maru who braved the flying shrapnel and threw all the large amount of ammunition and fuel carried on this ship into the sea??.? I am afraid that under the attack of key firepower, this fully loaded displacement of more than 10,000 tons, the world's first real amphibious boarding 6 ship. Either he died under the fire of the Anti-Japanese Union, or he was sent to the bottom of the sea by the materials carried by his own ship.

But even if this is a fluke, if the ship can return to the Japanese mainland, it will be difficult for it to participate in any operations without a long period of repairs. In order to maintain the pride of the Japanese Sixth Army, and the safety of the only aircraft carrier equipped with the ability to board the 6th Army among all the 6th Armed Forces in the world, Yoshio made the decision to withdraw the ship first.

In the face of the dense shore artillery firepower of the anti-United Nations Vietnamese, Lieutenant General Yoshio Kamitsuki, commander of the 43rd Army, which was specially formed for the 6th Deng operation, gritted his teeth. After urgent discussions with Rear Admiral Shinki Ogata, who commanded the naval vessels escorting the convoy, he insisted on continuing the Deng-6 operation.

The Navy sent ships to shoot as close as possible to suppress the shore artillery positions of the Anti-United Nations. And commanded the naval aviation that was still in the theater of operations, and also made every effort to suppress the enemy's artillery fire. Cover the 6 Navy transport ships should at least send all their heavy weapons ashore to support the 6 divisions that have already boarded. Even if you can't move forward, you must be able to hold on to the Qikou line.

However, Rear Admiral Shinki Ogata also proposed that the light cruiser Nagara, which was currently seriously injured, be evacuated first. Leaving the Longtian, which was still combat-ready, commanded the rest of the destroyers and the warships of the lower ranks, continued to cover the 6th Army's 6th operation, and held on to the Qikou line until all the troops went ashore before evacuating.

Considering the idea of the base camp, Lieutenant General Yoshio Kazuki not only agreed to Ogata Shinki's request, but also ordered that in addition to the Akitsu Maru, which had already been detached, the Shinshu Maru, which had been unloaded and had received a few shells, was not much damaged. Along with the half-crippled cruiser Nagara, under the cover of a destroyer and a coastal defense ship, he evacuated with the retreating fleet.

All the transport ships that have been unloaded, whether they belong to the 6th Army or the Navy, have all been evacuated and will not continue to stay on the Qikou line??.?? Not only did they get out of the range of artillery fire, but they directly took advantage of the last time when the sky was still bright to evacuate all of them out of the war zone.

At the insistence of these two people, the 9th Division and the 44th Division, mainly the remnants of the 44th Division, which had not yet ascended the 6th, could only continue to forcibly carry out the 6th in the face of the intensive artillery fire of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. All the transport ships that had completed unloading were escorted by two coastal defense ships and one destroyer of the navy, and they drove along the incoming channel at full speed, not daring to withdraw from Bohai Bay in the slightest way.

The first to retreat were naturally the Akitsu Maru and the Shenshu Maru, the two treasures of the 6th Army, and the light cruiser Nagara. Of course, the premise of this is that this Akitsu Maru, who has suffered seven shells like him, and the superstructure has been blown up in a mess, can go all the way safely to Guò, and Du Kaishan will leave a back hand for the Japanese naval fleet in the old Iron Mountain Waterway and return to the mainland safely.

It's just that last month, Vice Admiral Yoshio said that the idea of preserving the two amphibious 6 ships of the 6th Army was wonderful, but the reality was extremely cruel. In fact, this Akitsu Maru was not even able to get out of Bohai Bay. This Akitsu Maru, who was seriously injured by an old punch, although it can barely sail with its own remaining power, but the already tilted hull makes it not so convenient for this ship to move.

Just as the ship sailed to the exit of the channel, that is, where the large Japanese ship struck a mine, the ship suddenly struck like a god's upper body. As a result, they followed in the footsteps of the Navy. The two anchor mines that were touched by it made the ship, which was already seriously injured, no longer able to bear the injuries and was directly blown to the bottom of the sea.

Also implicated was a naval coastal defense ship that was cautious and protected the heart and soul of the 6th Army, and it also caught a mine when rescuing the 6th Army ship sappers who fell into the water. The entire Hirado, a coastal defense ship with a full load displacement of just over 1,000 tons, was blown away by Soviet-style M26 anchor mines. With the crew of the whole ship, it sank into the Bohai Bay within a few minutes.

Two more ships were hit by mines, and no one dared to salvage the crews of the 6th Army or the Navy for the remaining ships, so they could only cautiously follow the course they came from. ???.? As for the sailors who are struggling in the cold waters of Bohai Bay in the spring, they can only ask for their own blessings and find a way to swim to the shore by themselves.

Compared to the loss of another coastal defense ship, but at most only a little flesh pain, Rear Admiral Ogata Shinki. The loss of Akitsu Maru, the treasure of Japan's 6th military town, made the corners of Yoshio's mouth twitch last month. Although as a military ship, this is an inevitable outcome in war. But the loss of this ship made Yoshio last month still not know how to explain to the base camp.

And the loss of Akitsumaru made Yoshio last month even less confident about the next battle situation. Looking at the coastline and the beachhead area, the shells that kept falling, Yoshio last month drew a big question mark in his heart about the base camp's plan to board the 6th operation. For this Deng 6 battle, he no longer has any hope.

At present, he only hoped that the two divisions that had already ascended the 6th Division, when there was basically no hope of retreating, would be able to join up with the 120th Division to the south, and it would be enough to escape from danger. As for the outflanking and encirclement plan of the base camp, Lieutenant General Yoshio last month did not dare to hope for it.

After giving the order to Lieutenant General Haramori, the commander of the 9th Division, who had already ascended to the 6th, he had given the order. Last month, Lieutenant General Yoshio immediately sent Senior General Okamura Ninji, commander of the North China Front, and Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro, commander of the 12th Army, who was in charge of the operation in the Jilu border area, hoping that they would urge the 120th Division to speed up its actions, do their best to break through the defense line of the anti-Japanese coalition in person, cooperate with the troops of the Deng-6, or rescue these Deng-6 troops.

In fact, judging from the overall situation at the moment, Lieutenant General Yoshio's decision last month does seem to be a bit brutal. But looking at the whole situation, his decision was not wrong. At this moment, the Navy's Special 6th Combat Team that cooperated with the Deng 6 operation, as well as most of the 9th Division and the 44th Division of the Deng 6, have completed the Deng 6. If it is withdrawn at this time, I am afraid that the loss will be even greater.

Moreover, the remaining transport ships and six boarding boats on hand are not enough to withdraw these troops. Most of the Navy's Type 2 boarding 6 ships, as well as the SS large boarding 6 boats of the 6th Army, are now in the shape of wreckage on the beachhead. However, the Navy's one-of-a-board six ships cannot rush to the beach.

The key point is that whether it is a Type 1 boarding 6 ship or a Type 2 boarding 6 ship, the Japanese Navy has just begun to build it in batches. And the SS boarding 6 boats of the 6th Army have all been discontinued. At present, all those that have been built and put into service have been sent out to carry out the Deng-6 operation. Now, even if 6 ships are mobilized from the mainland, there are no ships to adjust.

The three types of large, medium and small boarding 6 boats that can be used for retreat have also suffered heavy losses and their numbers have been quite insufficient. If you forcibly evacuate, you will not suffer losses even if you are on the beachhead. However, according to the calculation of the surviving 6 ships at present, at most half of the squadron that cannot carry any heavy weapons except for light weapons can be withdrawn in one wave.

When retreating, they were killed and wounded by enemy artillery fire on the sea and beachhead. It is better to grit your teeth and send all the remaining troops, as well as the heavy weapons that have not yet had time to board the 6, to the shore, and strive to expand the control area. Or if you say something ugly, first stand on your feet thoroughly.

While making up his mind, Lieutenant General Yoshio last month gave Lieutenant General Hara Mamoru, commander of the 6th Division, who had already ascended to the 6th Division, commanding all the troops that had already ascended the 6th Division, regardless of whether the 9th Division or the 44th Division, to attack the enemy in depth with all their might. It is necessary not only to expand the beachhead, but also to find out the enemy's artillery positions and destroy them at any cost, so as to create conditions for the follow-up troops to ascend to 6.

And Rear Admiral Ogata Maki is also very interesting, after receiving the order of Vice Admiral Chiaki Matsuda and seeing the tragic situation of the large fleet with his own eyes, he did not follow the order to abandon the 6th Army and the 6th Army. Instead, he left the light cruiser Longtian under his own command, and cooperated with some light ships to cover the 6th Army before the tide and send all the remaining troops ashore.

Although both Vice Admiral Yoshio Kamitsuki of the 6th Army and Rear Admiral Shinki Ogata of the Navy knew that under the intensive artillery fire from the Anti-Japanese Alliance, this insistence also meant paying more price. Although the Japanese withdrew most of the transport ships out of the range of anti-coalition artillery fire, they switched to using Deng-6 boats to Deng-6.

Moreover, there are not many troops left that have not yet boarded the 6, mainly because the war materials have not yet had time to be sent ashore. But after all, the number of the lightest Zhonghe Xiaoden 6 boats, and where is the capacity. Although the capacity of these 6 boats is not large, they can be better than the flexibility and small target.

Looking at the sea and on the beachhead, there were wrecked Deng-6 ships everywhere. Last month, Yoshio and Ogata Maki gritted their teeth and put into the 6 boats of all the SS Deng6 boats of the 6th Army, as well as the Navy's Type 2 Deng6 ships, plus all the 6 Deng6 boats. In the method of spreading out as much as possible, we will strive to send all the last soldiers, equipment, and materials in one wave.

The Navy's internal fireboat unit has six amphibious combat vehicles that have not yet boarded the 6, and instead of using the Dadeng 6 boat and the Type 2 Deng6 ship to seize the beach, they will instead directly unload from the transport ship to the sea surface and wade to the 6. Major General Ogata did this, which was somewhat of a struggle. The navy, which has always been at odds with the 6th Army, can do this for the 6th Army.

However, whether this Major General Ogata really planned for the 6th Army or not, outsiders don't know. After giving the order, the combat staff officer beside him only saw His Excellency the Major General, staring ahead with expressionless eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But no matter what the reason for making Major General Ogata Maki insist on it. The 6th Landing Operation, which was carried out in order to support the 6th Army, made the Navy pay such a heavy price. Under no circumstances could the Japanese Sixth Army accuse the Navy of failing to do its best in coordinating operations, as it has done in the past.

The insistence of Yoshio and Shinki Ogata last month made the commander of the Ninth Division, Lieutenant General Haramoru, have words of suffering. As the 9th division of the 6th Podon regiment, the main forces were already ashore. The 92nd Wing of the 44th Division and the two infantry battalions of the 94th Wing have also gone ashore.

But the troops that had already boarded the 6 carried only part of the artillery. Most of the reinforced artillery was either wrecked on the beachhead on the Deng-6 ships or struggled on the sea. There are even some of them on transport ships on the sea. And the artillerymen, who had already boarded 6, carried only the most basic ammunition. Most of the ammunition, along with the 6 ships, was blown into the sky.

The most important thing was that the troops and more than a dozen tanks that had already boarded the 6 on the bare, almost unobstructed beachhead, were covered by the enemy's rocket artillery fire, and the losses were very heavy. Of the more than a dozen tanks, only three are still operating. In this case, there is not enough fire support, how can this attack be fought?
