Twenty minutes later, as the Japanese grenadiers and machine gunners were sniped to death by the students of the teaching regiment led by Cao Bixiao, the devil army Cao realized that the attack was doomed to be futile, but he had achieved the purpose of the trial, so he ordered the attack to be suspended. At this time, there were more than 1,300 devils who washed up on the beach.

One hundred and ten devils shouldered a sandbag and formed a circular fortification on the beach near the water. Iwamura's temporary headquarters was located inside, and he sat on a bench made of two ammunition boxes, looking at the map that was also laid out on the ammunition boxes. Immediately afterwards, he carefully observed the fortifications on the opposite side with a telescope, asked the soldier a few questions, and had a detailed plan for the next battle in his mind - he decided to open the battle line after all the troops had come ashore, and use the width of this beach to launch a full-scale attack.

Soon, after the Japanese landing was completed, Iwamura drew his command sword and moved forward, and ordered the two captains under him: "If we all have to capture the first line of defense of the defenders no matter what, otherwise the main force will not be able to deploy, and if the defenders hide artillery units, a salvo will destroy our landing attempt." The two of them, for the sake of the great cause of the common prosperity of Greater East Asia under His Majesty the Emperor, attack! ”

A steady stream of Japanese troops washed up on the beach, gradually accumulating a large force of nearly 2,000 men. Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were in good order and with bayonets shining cold, many French soldiers saw this scene, their faces turned pale and their lips were dry, they looked at their commanders, and had the intention to propose to withdraw to the second fortification, which was quite complete behind, but then looked at the student soldiers who were waiting next to them, and swallowed this idea into their stomachs.

The sense of honor of soldiers is far stronger than that of ordinary people, and some time ago, after receiving the training of the teaching regiment, they endured too much insults such as "cowards and fools", and the long-forgotten sense of honor of the French people sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. They all have the intention to change their image in the hearts of the instructors, so the cadets next door have become the object of comparison.

The subordinates were panicked, and Emmons was a little unable to hold on, he was old, and he could see the combat effectiveness of the opposing team when he stretched out his eyes. He had the heart to transfer another group up, but seeing Cao Bixiao's calm eyes, he thought about it and dispelled the idea. He is well aware of the importance of reserves, and he also knows that the extreme combat method of the Dao is the easiest to stimulate the potential of the troops, but the problem is that it is one thing to know the Dao, but if he really wants to implement it, he lacks self-confidence, and he has no bottom of the result.

With that military cao providing experience, the devil still used grenades to break through the defenders' minefields. While they were carrying out this strategy, more than a dozen enemy planes flew in from the south and quickly circled above the defenders.

The appearance of this wave of air forces was not known to Iwamura Sabei - it is worth mentioning that the commander of the Okikaga aircraft carrier fleet that commanded this landing battle was none other than the commander of the sunken aircraft carrier "Kaga", Yamada. The Kaga was attacked and sunk by two Song-class submarines of the Gakubing Army, which almost ended Yamada's military career. Fortunately, the Japanese Navy is not as crazy as the Army, and Kamimine will not ask his subordinates to apologize at every turn. Later, because of Koizumi Tonichiro's intercession, he was given the opportunity to command the Okika aircraft carrier fleet.

At that time and space, Yamada's definition was actually an insignificant little person, but now because of Koizumi's care and his unique insight into HNA tactics, he was not killed with a stick.

"What kind of results have been achieved in this battle is secondary, and the key lies in the run-in of coordinated operations of land, sea and air. If the landing force, ship-borne firepower, and aviation units can be effectively combined, their comprehensive combat strength will by no means be as simple as one plus one plus one equals three, and my ideal number is six. Yamada-kun, do a good job. The Kaga is gone, but we still have Yamato and Musashi - spring for the Imperial Navy has come, what are you waiting for? ”

Koizumi's words were a great spur to Yamada, and he commanded the Okika aircraft carrier fleet to sail towards Vung Tau City, and his mind was full of coordinated operations along the way. So, after Iwamura Sabei led two brigades of marines to start the first wave of beach-grabbing battles, he took over command from Harukatsu Okada and began to test the so-called coordinated tactics of land, sea and air operations.

In the order to attack, Iwamura did not have the concept of coordinated operations. However, he did not reject the fact that the fighters were much more accurate than the artillery, and as long as they did not get entangled with the defenders, they could avoid being bombed by mistake.

As the fighters flew over the battlefield and began to bomb the defenders, he commanded a wave of his sword and changed the order: "Slow down the attack and ensure the accuracy of the shot!" ”

The Japanese began to implement the tactics of steady and steady fighting, which was not a good thing for the defenders. Li Jiansheng judged the situation and ordered: "Three battalions, countercharge!" Drive the devil into the sea! ”

"Tick tock!" The trumpet sounded, and more than 300 students of the third battalion rushed out of the fortifications and launched a counter-charge against the devils along the mine-free area to the east.

The Scholar Army launched a counter-charge, Emmons was puzzled, and Cao Bixiao immediately understood what Li Jiansheng meant. He said to Emmons, "General, prepare to charge too!" As soon as the minefield is penetrated by the Japanese army, immediately order the whole regiment to counterattack! ”

Emmons was puzzled: "For what?" The fortifications of Hao Lang are not used, but a dangerous counter-charge is to be launched! ”

Cao Bixiao frowned and pointed to the Japanese fighter plane raging in the sky and said: "General, this will not be the last wave of enemy planes of the Japanese army, instead of sitting and waiting to be bombed, why don't you fight with the Japanese army?" In that case, the Japanese fighters will not be able to fully deploy their firepower! Their air fire support is equal to giving it in vain! ”

"But," Emmons was about to say something, when suddenly a dull sound of cannon fire sounded out of sight in the distance on the sea, and he exclaimed, "What's the matter?" Do Japanese ships still dare to open fire? ”

Cao Bixiao couldn't think of a reason, he listened for a while, and then looked at the student army that had already launched a close attack with the Japanese army, and considered: "No, the Japanese army has invested no less troops than us, and it has not shown signs of defeat - what do the Japanese want to do?" ”

Cao Bixiao couldn't see through the mystery of the Japanese ship's sudden cannonball, and the same was true of Iwamura's left guard. There was the sound of artillery firing behind him, and the little devil thought at first that the naval artillery was hitting the depth of the defenders. And only ten seconds later, listening to the screaming sound of the cannonballs, and feeling that the landing point was this beach, his face changed and he shouted wildly: "Eight grids!" What's going on? What's going on? His reaction was also fast, and then he thought of a possibility, turned around and ran into the sea, and shouted at the landing craft parked not far away: "Zhongxi Erdai, you bastard, who told you to call for artillery support?" Eight Geyaru! Do you know what you're doing? ”

Nakanishi was the deputy commander of this wave of landing forces, and he remained on the command boat to liaise with the main fleet in the distance, and was the only one who had the right to call for artillery support. Iwamura took it for granted that it was because of his summoning of the capital ship group that the fire support was launched, but he didn't expect that this sudden attack of artillery fire was completely the whim of the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Rear Admiral Yamada.

Yamada's sudden and unreasonable change of order first aroused the doubts of the Marine Corps commander, Major General Ono Sueji. He believes that even if there is a trial exercise of combined land, sea and air operations, it is necessary to say hello to the commander of the front-line Marine Corps and let him be prepared. Yamada's definition blocked his mouth with a fluttering sentence: "Ono-kun, this is a war, not a drill." The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and when we send the notice, we don't know when the next opportunity will be! As a front-line commander, Iwamura must have the ability to improvise. Besides, I also wanted to examine his command and adaptability. Ono-kun, this is an order that His Excellency Koizumi personally assigned to me, and it is a first-class secret. I didn't reveal it until this time, and it was also to achieve the effect of surprise victory! ”

Koizumi's identity is too special, because of Yamamoto Fifty-six's favor, and now he seems to have become the first person below Yamamoto in the Western Expedition Fleet, Yamada lifted Koizumi out as a shield, and Ono was speechless when he last boarded.

More than 20 gunboats continued to bombard the beach with huge guns of more than 150 millimeters for 20 minutes, and after 20 minutes, the defenders suffered casualties on the beach, and the marines of the two Japanese brigades suffered 90 percent of the losses, and even the Iwamura Left Guard was seriously wounded.

Yamada's conscience was very bad, and he did not inform Iwamura in advance where he wanted to test his command and adaptability, but he was really worried that he would not be willing to cooperate with his "coordinated operation of the sea, land and air" exercise.

The Japanese were devastated because they were completely exposed to the beach. Although the defenders had fortifications to conceal, the losses were also very large. When the devil fighter on a reconnaissance mission circled over the battlefield to check the actual combat effect, what he saw was a fragmented fortification and a mixed garrison.

The explosion finally stopped, Cao Bixiao poked his head out of a piece of floating soil and spit out a mouthful of sand, and scolded angrily: "Damn, the dog is really crazy!" Suddenly he thought of Emmons, and immediately pulled up beside him.

Emmons was lucky, and although he had a few wounds, none of them were fatal. After he was dug out of the sand by Cao Bixiao, he coughed vigorously a few times, and then said to Cao Bixiao with palpitations: "This is the craziest army I have ever seen, the Japanese, not human at all!" ”

After this round of artillery attacks, only more than 50 people of a French regiment survived, and Li Jiansheng's department survived even less - he let the three battalions under his command launch a counterattack, and that battalion was entangled with the devil soldiers, because there was no shelter and no avoidance, only three survived.

The smoke of gunpowder dispersed, and the survivors re-ascended to the front line of the broken fortifications under the command of Li Jiansheng and Emmons, and many of them had palpitations, and Emmons's men, more than a dozen officers and soldiers could not stand the stimulation, and lay on the ground and vomited, vomiting out the gastric mucosa.

The Japanese army was even worse than them, inexplicably shelled by their own people, less than 200 of the 2,000 people survived in the end, their morale was hit hard, and a group of devils lifted the unconscious Iwamura Left Guard and waded towards the landing craft, completely losing the courage to continue fighting.
