October 18, 4621 A.D., 7 a.m., Sagami Bay. A large number of warplanes of the Pacific Fleet of the Imperial Navy have gathered here. In half an hour at most, they will reach the sea off the coast of Kamakura City and launch an attack on the coastal city of the Miura Peninsula.

The 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Imperial Marine Corps, as well as the 1st Army of the Imperial Army, were to land on the Miura Peninsula. Compared to the mountainous peninsula, the city of Kamakura, near the Kanto Plain, at the root of the peninsula, was undoubtedly more suitable as a landing point for this operation. Of course, the Japanese army also deployed no less than 4 divisions on the entire Miura Peninsula to guard against the landing of the Imperial Army.

The Japanese Army's 7th, 8th, 21st, and 22nd Divisions, together with the 6th Brigade of the Japanese Army's Independent Heavy Artillery, formed the Miura Peninsula Defense Force, commanded by General Otani Kikuzo, with its headquarters in Yokosuka. In addition, on the Boso Peninsula, there is also an elite army of the same size.

Although, the Japanese army had long known that the Imperial Army would launch a landing operation in Tokyo Bay in the near future. However, they were still speculating about the landing site of the Imperial Army. After all, Japan's coastline is too long, and there are so many places to land. If the Chinese* army were to launch a landing, it would often be able to achieve a surprise effect. The Japanese Army can only guess after launching a landing war.

The 7th Division of the Japanese Army was deployed in Yokosuka, and the 8th Division was deployed in Miura. The 21st Division was deployed in the Kamakura area, and the 22nd Division was deployed in Hiratsuka City. It's not that the Japanese want to disperse their troops, it's that their coastline is too long, and they have to disperse their troops. If they are gathered, the Chinese * army will be able to choose the landing site at will. At that time, the Japanese army will not be able to stop the landing of the Chinese* army.

Get up together from the morning. General Otani's eyelids kept jumping, as if something bad was going to happen. This made Otani Kikuzo keep his face open, and the officers in the headquarters also lowered their heads one by one, not daring to say anything, for fear that they would collide with General Otani Kikuzo. Thus leading to unjustified calamities.

"Order all divisions and regiments to be prepared. The attack of the people of China should begin soon. If any of the divisions' defenses are breached by the Shina people, then they will cut it off on their own. General Otani Kikuzo ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The staff officer nodded, and immediately went to telegraph.

"Damn the Shina people, when are you going to attack? Where exactly do you choose to log in? It's Miura City, or Kamakura City. Or Hiratsuka? Otani Kikuzo's brows furrowed tightly. In the vicinity of the Miura Peninsula, only these three cities are suitable for launching landing operations. Although these three cities are not large, they have docks that can meet the rapid landing of the Chinese * army. Of course, the Japanese army was also on guard. In these ports, a large amount of explosives were planted. If attacked, they will blow up these docks. making it impossible for the Chinese* army to use these docks. Without these dock supports, the Chinese * army wants to load and unload quickly. That's almost impossible. Especially tanks and armored vehicles, as well as those heavy artillery. Without a dock, it is undoubtedly very difficult to get off the ship.

Although, destroying these ports would cost Japan huge losses. But. Now they have no other way than that. It would be much better to destroy these ports than to destroy Japan.

"Come, China! The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire were ready. If you dare to come, it will definitely cost you dearly! General Otani Kikuzo thought secretly.

Half past seven in the morning. The Chinese Navy reached the waters off the coast of Kamakura. Without saying a word, the Imperial Navy's three 'Three Emperor-class' battleships and five 'Five Emperor-class' battleships began to shell Kamakura. These two battleships are the most powerful battleships of the Chinese Navy. The 410 mm gun and the 381 mm gun are extremely powerful. If the Japanese Army wanted to rely on its flesh and blood to withstand the heavy shelling of the Imperial Navy, it would be completely impossible. If it is a dense formation, I am afraid that such a single shot will cause at least a few hundred casualties.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "On the sea less than ten kilometers off the coast of Kamakura City. The eight battleships of the Imperial Navy were constantly firing. Heavy shells are whistling towards Kamakura. Billowing smoke rises from Kamakura City, and fires are everywhere.

"The people of China are coming! On the sea, there are many of their ships. They're getting ready to land in Kamakura! The wing commander of the 83rd Infantry Wing of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army, Ueda Teru, Nakasa, had a miserable face.

"Report immediately to His Excellency the division commander that the Shina people are going to land in Kamakura, and we need reinforcements." Ueda Teru Nakasa yelled.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Wing Commander." The communications corps hurriedly went to send a telegram.

"Boom!" A 410-mm shell hit a four-story building in the city of Kamakura. After the shell exploded, the entire building was reduced to a pile of rubble.

The city of Kamakura was in ruins under the blows of the large-caliber naval guns of the eight battleships of the Imperial Navy.

The headquarters of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army was established in the suburbs northwest of Kamakura City. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Itan Matsuo, was not a fool either. He knew that if Kamakura was really used as a landing point by the Chinese* army, it would be an act of seeking death to set up his headquarters in Kamakura City. If it is located in the suburbs, it is not easy to be attacked.

When a violent explosion sounded in the city of Kamakura, Lieutenant General Itami Matsuo knew that the battle had begun. The Chinese * army actually chose Kamakura as the landing site. It has to be said that his luck is worse.

"Damn the Shina people, there are so many coastal cities that they don't land, why did they choose to land in Kamakura, is it possible, I'm Itami Matsuo to be a little easier to bully?" Lieutenant General Itami Matsuo was speechless.

In order to win this battle, the Japanese Army issued very strict orders. The defense areas of various units are absolutely not allowed to leave their posts without permission from their superiors. Otherwise, even if you escape back, you will be ordered to cut your stomach. That is, a lot of Japanese troops. Once the battle begins, it's all about defending to the death. In the end, he lost his own life.

"Send a telegram to Your Excellency the Commander, we need reinforcements! The navy of the Shina people is shelling Kamakura fiercely, and we will not be able to withstand it. Lieutenant General Itami Matsuo ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The communications officer immediately went to send a telegram.

"Send a telegram to the 83rd Wing. Let them destroy the port at once, and not give those people a chance to use it. Lieutenant General Itami Matsuo ordered. As soon as the port falls into the hands of the Chinese* army, then they will be in big trouble.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." A communications soldier hurriedly went to deliver the order.

Eight battleships of the Imperial Navy, as well as a fleet of heavy cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers, joined in the bombardment of Kamakura. The city of Kamakura is rapidly turning into a ruin at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. The buildings in the city were destroyed by shells. Those wooden houses. It was even more ablaze.

It can be said that before the advent of weapons such as the atomic bomb, the most destructive weapon was the naval guns of battleships.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

At this time, a dense explosion sounded in the port of Kamakura City. The port facilities, which had been perfect, were destroyed in the explosion. The cranes were blown down, and the docks were blown up. The entire port was destroyed.

"What's going on? How did the Japanese port get ruined? Admiral Shi Qingshan's face was a little ugly.

"General Shi, it's not our naval artillery. Our shelling deliberately avoided the port area. It's Japanese. They had already planted the explosives beforehand. Lieutenant General Li Dingxin said.

"Damn! If there is no port to use, our heavy equipment wants to disembark. It takes a lot of time. Admiral Shi Qingshan said that this will greatly delay the fighter. By the time the Imperial Army's 1st Army had disembarked, the Japanese army would have already mobilized heavy troops.

"General Shi, the Japanese will not completely destroy the dock. When the time comes, one or two docks can be repaired. In that case, it will speed up the disembarkation. Lieutenant General Li Dingxin said.

After all. The area of the port is so large, if you want to raze the entire port area to the ground, how many explosives will be needed! The Japanese, obviously, could not have planted so many explosives, they were short of resources. These explosives must be used sparingly. They can't use all the explosives to blow up the port, so their armies will fight with burning sticks.

Admiral Shi Qingshan nodded, which made his face look a lot better.

After half an hour of shelling, Kamakura was already shelled. Subsequently, the artillery fire began to extend. The 1st Regiment of the 11th Division of the Imperial Marine Corps began a landing operation.

A large number of landing craft, rushing towards the coast. The 83rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which was stationed on the beach, had suffered heavy losses in the heavy shelling of the Imperial Navy. There were more than 3,700 people in the entire wing, and in the end, less than half of them were formed. In terms of morale, it was even more devastating, and it was almost impossible to rely on them to resist the attack of the Imperial Marines.

As for the reinforcements sent by the 21st Division, before they could get close to the coast, they were bombarded by the naval guns of the Imperial Navy. A large number of Japanese officers and men were killed while they were still on the road, and when a wing of troops arrived at the coast, they were less than half of their departure. Under the heavy shelling of the Imperial Navy, the Japanese army was constantly weakened, and it was simply delusional to resist the landing of the Imperial Marines. (To be continued.) )
