Chapter 227: Only the Navy Is Worth Showing Off
"Yoshi!"
Yanagawa Heisuke beamed: "Tani Hisao, for the Imperial Holy War!"
"I leave it to you!"
Tani Hisao was full of pride, "Your Excellency Commander, Chief of Staff!"
"Wait for my good news!"
Tanabe Moritake then contacted the person in charge of the Navy units.
He had them use their Naval Guns, open to maximum range, and shell the high ground around Jinshanwei.
These dense warships, large warships, numbered no fewer than thirty.
He now needed a phone line that could get through.
Wang Dadan was somewhat worried: "Division Commander, Adjutant Yu."
"Have them report the situation immediately."
Regardless of the situation, Wang Dadan continued to crank the phone.
If it weren't for the fact that the Chuan army had just annihilated an Imperial Army regiment.
At the fifth observation post, the one who answered the phone was a Squad Leader.
One could see the little devils' warships anchored on the sea.
He looked at Guo Xunqi and said: "Brother Guo, let's go forward and take a close look at the little devils."
Bombard everything!
Judging from the reports of the Imperial Warriors remaining in Jinshanwei just now.
"This little devil Navy is truly spectacular."
"As for this Army stuff, the various countries in Europe really don't think much of the devils' things."
That is, they would not let soldiers use their flesh and blood to block the Imperial Army's landing.
Stay calm... stay calm!
You are also a person of the new era who has seen the world.
They carried out shelling against the small high ground in the Jinshanwei area.
"I hope this unit is different from the troops I encountered in the Pingjin Region."
He immediately reported the situation he saw at the forward observation post to Guo Xunqi and Yu Hua.
A huge air current spread out, also causing the sand and stones all around to whistle in the wind.
"Contact the Jinshanwei forward observation post immediately."
When Tanabe Moritake first arranged for the soldiers to land.
While the little devils were shelling.
The Republic of China Army actually relied on the high ground in the Jinshanwei area to specifically ambush the Imperial Army.
Therefore, Tanabe Moritake's worry about artillery attacks from the defenders was out of the question.
A regiment of Imperial Warriors would simply not be so easily annihilated by the Chuan army.
Taking out their Telescope, the group observed the vast, white sea.
This is still, damn it, just the World War II era, and the little devils' warships were already this spectacular.
Guo Xunqi's eyes were shining; if only he could get his hands on a Naval Gun.
"Yoshi!"
"Yes!" Wang Dadan nodded, then began to crank the phone.
Yu Hua grinned: "The little devils, only their Navy is worth showing off."
Counting some smaller warships, there were already no fewer than seventy.
"It's safer to just stay at the Division headquarters."
Guo Xunqi waved his hand: "What is there to fear."
Now that he had truly seen these mighty and spectacular warships, his heart was also very excited.
His name was Wu Chao.
Second, it was that the soldiers at the forward observation post, when the devils' Naval Guns were bombarding.
Wang Dadan nodded, "Alright!"
"Just the air current stirred up by this is enough to make people uncomfortable."
Making them not dare to build Field Works on the shore at all.
But who would have thought that the defenders of Jinshanwei would not play by the rules at all.
Seeing Guo Xunqi's reaction, Yu Hua kept emphasizing in his heart.
Yu Hua heard this!
On a Transport Ship.
Old Guo could sleep hugging a Naval Gun.
As if it had already been abandoned by the Chuan army.
Just like that, the group arrived at the temporary command post from earlier.
Guo Xunqi coughed: "Ouch!"
And!
"I've been through big winds and waves."
"The view is good there, it's convenient for observation."
It's not like I haven't seen naval exercises; aren't they just a few 'broken warships'!"
After speaking, Yu Hua looked at Wang Dadan, "Dadan!"
Based on the example of the landing troops being surrounded and annihilated, the Sichuan Army likes to set up ambushes on both sides of the road behind Jinshanwei.
Wang Dadan was out of options!
Even for the command post of the 144th Division, a shell from a Navy Naval Gun landed at a position three hundred meters away.
Tanabe Moritake learned from the previous lesson.
His plan was to let the troops who landed sweep away the remaining enemies in the surrounding area and then consolidate the beachhead.
"The troops are currently assembling, preparing to launch the third landing."
Colonel Okamoto Yasuyuki of the 13th Regiment of the 6th Division was observing the situation on the shore using a Telescope.
However, there were also some highlands that survived.
The morning mist dispersed, and now everyone could clearly see the situation on the sea surface.
Let this batch of landing Imperial Warriors carry heavy weapons.
"Looking at this formation, after the Japanese Navy finishes bombing, the third batch of landing troops is about to come up."
The Japanese Navy conducted twenty minutes of shelling.
After seeing this scene!
"Boom—!!"
"Going to the front line now isn't exactly provoking the Japanese on purpose."
First, it is very likely that when the little Japanese were shelling just now, they blew up the telephone line buried underground.
The little Japanese Navy's Naval Guns began to roar.
Guo Xunqi nodded, "Fine!"
Otherwise, he, Colonel Okamoto Yasuyuki, would have believed that this was the Imperial Army's magnificent military might, scaring the Sichuan Army out of their wits.
If this were in the new era, one's own Navy, seeing it in person, would surely be even more imposing than this.
After hearing Wu Chao's response, Wang Dadan immediately hung up the phone.
Through the Telescope!
Yu Hua saw the little Japanese Transport Ships, fully loaded with Japanese soldiers, sailing toward the land.
Now what Tanabe Moritake had to do was use the Navy's Naval Guns to destroy the small highlands in the Jinshanwei area.
"You are going to the front line; isn't that too dangerous?"
When he cranked to the fifth call, the phone went through.
"Report, after the Japanese shelling ended."
Watching in person and watching on a screen are still two different feelings.
"You continue to observe and report the situation every ten minutes."
Such as Tanks, Mountain Guns, Field Guns, Type 92 Infantry Guns, and so on.
Making the Sichuan Army's plot to use the small highlands to ambush the Imperial Army completely bankrupt.
Such a large-scale shelling directly flattened some highlands completely.
"This Navy's Naval Gun is really a damn good thing."
Who told Guo Xunqi to be the Division Commander!
The 144th Division is decided by Guo Xunqi.
"This time, there are quite a few more Japanese Transport Ships than last time, about one hundred and twenty or thirty of them."
The Imperial Warriors who landed before were all holding light weapons and lacked artillery support after landing.
After a simple observation, Okamoto Yasuyuki discovered that the Sichuan Army's commander had a good head on his shoulders.
A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Okamoto Yasuyuki's mouth, "The Sichuan Army!?"
"That place is very well hidden; ordinary people wouldn't be able to discover it at all."
On the shore of Jinshanwei, there were no defending troops holding the line at all.
But, although Yu Hua was cheering himself on in his heart.
"Hello, hello, hello..."
He was also afraid that when transporting heavy weapons, they would be hit by the Sichuan Army's artillery, causing these heavy weapons to sink into the sea.
"This little Japanese Navy bombing is really a pain."
Therefore, on the shore of Jinshanwei, the Sichuan Army voluntarily gave up constructing Field Works.
This time!
Inside the Transport Ships, besides being fully loaded with soldiers, there were also some ships carrying the Japanese's heavy weapons.
The Sichuan Army troops had long followed the previous plan to retreat, escaping outside the range of the Japanese Naval Guns' bombardment.
If they possessed a large number of heavy weapons, Tanabe Moritake felt.
"It's my first time seeing the Navy be so mighty and majestic."
The view here is open, and observing the sea surface is quite good.
"This is the Division Headquarters; how is the situation at the front?"
Everyone sacrificed themselves heroically!
"Fortunately, our command post is set up a few hundred meters outside the range of the Japanese fleet."
After cranking three calls in a row, Wang Dadan found that none of them could get through.
In the surrounding flat land and hills, no Field Works constructed by the Sichuan Army were found; it seemed this area...
He discovered that there were only a few hundred Imperial Warriors left on the shore, who were on guard.
"Just go to the temporary command post established before."
Then have the follow-up troops transport heavy weapons ashore to reduce losses.
Guo Xunqi opened his mouth wide: "Damn it!"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"An interesting army."
Lure the Imperial Army into surrounding and annihilating them, then utilize the terrain advantage to wipe out the Imperial troops.
This style of fighting piqued Okamoto Yasuyuki's interest.
