The body of the armored vehicle was also elongated to accommodate a crew of three and an infantry squad of 12.In order to increase the driving ability on the soft sand, this armored vehicle has also been changed from a wheeled type to a crawler type.After such improvements, the world's first amphibious armored vehicle was born.

This epoch-making equipment appeared on the battlefield for the first time, and its sensational effect is obvious.The fearful Japanese soldiers immediately turned their rifles to these armored vehicles, but unfortunately their firepower could not shake them at all.

Seeing the armored vehicles rushing towards the position, the Japanese soldiers could only howl helplessly. Several soldiers held up grenades and rushed towards the armored vehicles in front of them.It's a pity that the round grenade cannot be bundled and used like a grenade, and its explosive power is really limited.Except for the accidental damage caused by the shrapnel shot in all directions, the front armor of the armored vehicle could not be shaken at all, and at most it could only leave a scorched black mark.

A defending squadron was completely wiped out without any power to fight back. The Marine Corps of the West Special Army immediately dispersed into multiple small units, and quickly controlled the vital points of Naha Port.Those policemen were all locals. When they saw the Hualan people coming, instead of resisting, they friendly expressed their willingness to help.

This situation is not beyond the surprise of the headquarters of the West Special Army, because none of the people on the Ryukyu Islands are Japanese in the pure sense.The Ryukyu Islands were originally Hualan's vassal country, the Ryukyu Kingdom. For thousands of years, generations have surrendered to Hualan's central dynasty, and they have a close relationship with each other.It wasn't until the Hualan dynasty weakened in modern times that it was unable to take care of the surrounding vassal states, which allowed the Wa kingdom to take advantage of it.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Wa Kingdom invaded Ryukyu in 1872, destroyed the Ryukyu Kingdom, and imprisoned its last king, Shangtai, in Dongchencheng, and finally died in a foreign land in 1901.Although Ryukyu has been annexed by the Japanese country for many years, its culture has always been incompatible with the Japanese country, and most of the people also have hearts for Hualan.Now that Hualan's army landed, it was tantamount to the Wang Shi coming to rescue them, and naturally they were welcomed by most of the local people.

The Sanya Squadron struck while the iron was hot, and quickly took advantage of its strength and new tactics of landing operations to successively conquer the entire Ryukyu Islands and control various strategic locations between Yizhou Island and Japan's Kyushu Island.Relying on the Ryukyu Islands as a springboard, the Sanya Squadron quickly captured Tanegashima near Kyushu Island and began to build airports and coastal fortifications here.

There is only a shallow strait between Tanegashima and Kyushu Island, and people with good water skills can even swim across it with bare hands.It was enough to shock the Japanese government that the Xite army had come so close.In fact, even the West Special Army Staff Headquarters did not expect that the progress of the Sanya Squadron would be so fast.

Such a speed of advance is mainly due to the Japanese government’s own strategic mistakes. After the West Army pretended to go south from Sakhalin Island, the Wa Kingdom sent a large number of recruits to garrison Hokkaido, hoping to block the attack of the West Army. Send out all the main forces in the country, hoping to turn defeat into victory and win the strategic initiative.

This approach of the Japanese military is very risky. It is tantamount to attacking with all its strength, and at the same time, the country is singing an empty city plan.Under such circumstances, Wa Kingdom naturally had to guarantee the safety of Honshu Island to a limited extent, and the other islands could only reduce the garrison as much as possible.In an unimportant area like the Ryukyu Islands, the garrisons on so many islands add up to only two wings.Relying on such a small garrison, it is impossible to fight against the landed West Army Marine Corps.

Japan paid the price for its reckless attack. Kyushu Island, which originally had the most complete industrial preservation and the most promising guarantee for Japan's war, was already facing the attack of the West Army.If the West Special Army wants to destroy the industrial facilities here, there is no need to let the aircraft carrier fleet take risks. As long as the airport on Tanegashima is activated, Wa Kingdom will not have the slightest chance.

After receiving the news that Tanegashima was occupied, the country of Wa was in chaos, and they no longer had the heart to consider counterattacking the Koryo Peninsula.The headquarters of the Japanese army sent out three telegrams in a row, requesting Hayashi Mijuro's troops to return to the country immediately to prevent possible attacks by the West Army.

It's a pity that the Japanese army headquarters didn't know that the attacking force they sent out was like a bird in a cage, and would never fly back.Due to a misjudgment, the submarine unit, which had been waiting for three hours in the Tsushima Strait by mistake, immediately set sail and headed north after receiving the battle report from Incheon Port.

Relying on a surface speed of up to [-] knots, this submarine force finally arrived near Incheon Port at four o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time there were still more than three hours before the arrival of the second tide.The battle between Wolmido Island and Yeongjong Island is getting more and more fierce, which makes Hayashi Mijuro very worried, but unfortunately he doesn't know that he should really be worried about himself.

At this time, more than 300 meters away from the merchant fleet, an inconspicuous small wave was churning, and in the middle of the wave, a periscope slowly protruded from the water. Liu Xinggang, the captain of boat 3017, was lying in front of the periscope, looking at the large fleet moored not far away.

"Hey, they are all merchant ships with big bellies, and not even a single destroyer is found. If they dare to come out and mess around like this, the brains of the Japanese people must be trapped by the door." Liu Xingang said excitedly.

The helmsman on the side smiled: "Captain, you don't have to talk so badly, you tell Wa to send destroyers, where can they find them. Now Wa will send the navy to fight first, I'm afraid they can only use fishing boats to mount cannons." Everyone heard the words They all laughed, it seems that today they will have a large-scale hunt without any danger.

"The captain sent a signal and ordered all the submarines to fire immediately." The communications soldier who was using the communication buoy said, and everyone in the submarine immediately became nervous.

"Listen to my order, heading 035, speed three knots, dive deep five meters and hold steady, the torpedo room is ready to launch torpedoes." Following a series of orders from Liu Xinggang, everyone in the boat started to move.

"Torpedo No. 1 is launched." Liu Xinggang ordered, and the torpedo tube at the bow of the boat spit out some air bubbles, and the Hongying Type 1 torpedo escaped, rushing towards the target at an unrivaled speed.With a loud noise, the torpedo hit a merchant ship moored on the sea.Because this was a merchant ship carrying weapons and ammunition, the explosion caused the ammunition in the cabin to explode. As a result, a louder explosion soon came, and the fragile merchant ship disintegrated directly.

Explosions came one after another, and the merchant ships on the periphery sank one after another, and none of them could escape by luck. "There are torpedoes, it's the submarine team." Hayashi Mijuro realized at this time that he was attacked by a submarine, and he couldn't help secretly regretting why he didn't think of this crisis earlier.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Hayashi Mijuro. As an army officer, he is not familiar with maritime operations, so how could he think of the threat of submarines.Facing the collective hunting of more than a dozen submarines, the only way Hayashi Mijuro thought of at this time was to speed up the evacuation.

It's a pity that once a steam-powered merchant ship stops, it is not so easy to start. The boiler needs to be filled with steam to drive the steam turbine to do work and make the propeller turn, which takes at least half an hour.Facing the unstartable merchant ship and the murderous submarine, Hayashi Mijuro had no countermeasures.

Japan's most elite guard division, and their talented Lieutenant General Hayashi Mijuro, were massacred without any resistance in such a most aggrieved situation, and more than two hundred merchant ships were buried with them.Because of the long distance, the Japanese army who were fighting on Wolmido Island and Yeongjong Island did not know that they had no retreat or reinforcements.

Even on Yeongjong Island and Wolmido Island, where the troops have an absolute advantage, the battle situation of the Japanese army is not optimistic.Because the combat pressure was all transferred to Red Beach, although the pressure on a battalion stationed on Yuewei Island was still very high, they could at least hold their positions.Battalion Commander Guo Chao has sent everyone to the position, using intensive firepower to continuously kill and wound Japanese soldiers.With the support of the artillery battalion on the top of the mountain and the deterrence of the artillery unit on the coast, the casualties of the Japanese army inevitably increased rapidly.

What makes the Japanese army feel uncomfortable is that they have not been able to occupy a large area of ​​the embankment to set up an offensive position. Today, more than 6000 people are squatting in the quagmire behind the embankment.The tide was slowly rising, and the Japanese soldiers farthest from the shore had already been submerged by the sea to their waists.If the Japanese army is still unable to attack the island, these people will soon die of hypothermia.

Chapter 203 [-] Heights

The Japanese army on Yeongjong Island was also uncomfortable. Although Hisao Nishio built a passage made of trees, because the attack surface was too narrow, the West Army could easily block the tree pontoon bridge, making it difficult for them to rush to the beach.These Japanese soldiers were also attacked by the rising sea water. Because the pontoon bridge was sucked in the muddy water, it was difficult to float to the surface in a short time. Now the attacking Japanese soldiers had to wade through the sea water soaked up to their calves.

Japanese commanders at all levels are well aware that their time is running out.If they are still unable to capture the landing sites of Wolmido Island and Incheon Port before the arrival of the fleet of follow-up troops, this sneak attack will only end in failure.

In order to achieve victory, commanders at all levels of the Japanese army were required to command the battle at the forefront. They held command swords in their hands and led the soldiers to charge in an attempt to use the so-called spiritual power to crush the will of the defenders.It's a pity that the Second Baikal Garrison Division is not a soft persimmon. The strong force led by Lin Yurong has enough experience to deal with reckless charges.

The sharpshooters of each class are going to be a mess, they are looking for those Japanese people who are dressed in special clothes to shoot.As a result, the middle and lower rank officers of the Japanese country were often shot through the skull by sharpshooters only halfway through the rush, and died.The large number of casualties of officers made the command of the Japanese army even more inconvenient. Several brigade leaders had to promote officers in the front line, which avoided possible army chaos.

However, the casualties of officers were increasing, and many sergeants were even promoted a few ranks, becoming squadron leaders or even battalion leaders.These people lack experience in leading troops, but they are already the best people the brigade leaders can find.Just relying on these people to command the troops is obviously not reliable enough. When they lead the troops to charge, there are even a lot of attacking teams that are out of touch.The West army seized the opponent's chaos and severely hit the opponent's morale with machine gun fire. The Japanese army's offensive became weaker and weaker. However, the accident from the sea became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Just over half an hour after the submarine force wiped out the merchant fleet, a small fleet of three old-fashioned Jiujiang-class cruisers and six destroyers arrived here.This fleet also belongs to the Eastern Continental Fleet, they belong to the Huangdao Squadron.Originally, the mission of this cruiser fleet was to patrol the Yellow Sea area and perform sentry missions in the direction of the country of Wa. Unexpectedly, it caught up with a battle today.

After receiving an urgent telegram from Incheon Port, the nearest small fleet set sail. After they consulted the headquarters via telegram, they were ordered to support Incheon Port.Because of the need to cross the distance of more than 200 nautical miles in the northern part of the Yellow Sea, the fleet did not arrive until this time, but it was enough to arrive at this time.

Because the tide had already begun to rise, cruisers and destroyers with shallow drafts were able to approach Incheon Port first, and launched operations against the Japanese army.The six 65-caliber [-]mm main guns on the Jiujiang-class cruiser are nothing more than small self-defense tubes in the navy's series, but they are indeed rare heavy guns in the army's view.

When more than a dozen of these heavy artillery suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese army from the sea, the faces of several Japanese army brigade commanders were already pale, and they knew that failure was doomed. The Imperial Guard Division must be in danger.

The retreat was cut off, and the Japanese army had no chance of surviving. Instead, several brigade leaders were aroused to be fierce, and they personally led the troops to launch a tireless group charge.The Japanese soldiers were not afraid of death, and even faced the muzzle of machine guns unmoved. The defense line of the West Army encountered dangers one after another.

Fortunately, the gap in weapons cannot be overcome by numbers and mental strength. When several garrison ships approached and used small-caliber artillery to launch an assault on the Japanese No.19 Brigade, these Japanese soldiers were already in a desperate situation.On Yuewei Island, the No.19 brigade was quickly lost due to the machine gun fire of Guo Chao's troops and the flanking attack of the destroyer's bombardment.Intensive artillery fire from the navy and army blasted the Japanese soldiers of the No.19 Brigade to their backs and covered most of the land on the island.

The crisis in Wolmido Island was resolved, but the Japanese army on Yeongjong Island was hard to wipe out.After seeing the tragic situation of the No.19 brigade, the Japanese army on Yeongjong Island hid in the earthworks.The bombardment of Wolmido Island had already consumed more than half of the ammunition of the naval fleet. In addition, there was a rapid current near Yeongjong Island, so it was impossible to get close to shoot, so the fleet could only bombard it with the main artillery from a long distance.After two hours of shelling, they were running out of ammunition and had to turn around and head back.

The Japanese army on Yeongjong Island has lost their aggressiveness and will never attack again.However, senior generals such as Hata Toshiliu had the foresight to dig a large number of earthworks on the island in advance, which is enough to resist the crazy bombardment of the garrison.The Japanese soldiers hid in the position, and the headquarters even hid behind Baiyun Mountain, which was a blind spot for the artillery of the West Special Army, and it was difficult to cause real damage.Lin Yurong knew that his ammunition was not sufficient, so he gave up continuing the attack on Daeongjong Island. He planned to surround and not fight, and waited for the opponent to run out of food. The two sides fell into a stalemate in Incheon Port.

The West Special Army also surrounded Vladivostok and Busan without fighting, but used bombers and incendiary bombs to attack every day.Facing the absolute air superiority of the West Army, the Japanese army can only be beaten passively, and at the same time, they are ready to fight the fire at any time.Over the past few days, the regular incendiary bombing of the West Army has given the Japanese Army a lot of experience.

Often the fire brigade in the city is on standby before the air strike arrives, and the firefighters will arrive as soon as the incendiary bomb hits the ground.They used shovels to shovel sand to bury the napalm, preventing it from burning in the air.Although this approach is very passive, it greatly reduces the losses of the Wa Kingdom. They seem to have become robots, doing the same work mechanically every day.

The vitality of Vladivostok and Busan was slowly exhausted under such frequent bombings, but Lushun had a different scene.Without the help of the air force and navy, the army's weapons were not considered sophisticated, and the Feng army surrounded Lushun. They wanted to conquer this strong city with flesh and blood, and avenge the deceased old commander Zhang Zuolin.

Zhang Xueliang went to the front line in person, wearing a white scarf on his head and wrapping black gauze around his arms, expressing his determination to fight the Japanese to the end. Soon the troops led by Wang Yizhe launched an attack on the 30 Heights in the outermost part of Lushun. More than [-] years ago, during the Japanese War, the Japanese army attacked this highland relying on the advantage of numbers. As a result, they lost tens of thousands of people in half a day, making this place a sad place for the Japanese people.

Chapter One Hundred and Five

Now that the feng shui is taking turns, the Wa people want to stick to this famous highland, but the Hualan people are the ones attacking, how can we not make people sigh.How could the Japanese army, who had lost troops and generals at the 203 Heights, not know the difficulty and importance of defending this place? For this reason, the Japanese army placed one of the most elite regiments here, and at the same time sent two other regiments to garrison Changshan and Jiaoshan. It forms a corner with the 203 highland.

Fengjun sent two infantry regiments to attack Highland 203 from two directions. In order to suppress the opponent's firepower, Fengjun even took out a division-made machine gun and almost all heavy artillery.The violent bombardment made the 203 highland dusty, and almost all the soil on the highland was turned over, but the resistance of the Japanese army was still very fierce.

It turned out that after the Western Special Zone became stronger and stronger, the Japanese military began to assess the defense situation of various places, and Lushun, an isolated island in Fengtian Province, was naturally the top priority.After the demonstration, the Japanese military proposed a defense plan that can be used both on land and at sea.The core of this plan is to rebuild a large number of modern and more reasonable fortress systems around Lushun relying on the fortification foundation of the original Raksha Kingdom.

The original turrets are all equipped with new-style artillery, which are connected to the base by a mobile turret, which can be turned 360 degrees, and the shooting ports in three directions are used to shoot outwards, and the coverage angle reaches 120 degrees.While strengthening the artillery, a large number of light and dark machine gun fortresses were built on the slopes downward of these forts to protect the forts and form crossfire against the attacking troops.

For the most important 203 highlands, the construction naturally spared no effort.The area of ​​this high ground is not large, and it can also be defended by the firepower from the No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 fort groups, so there is no need to install cannons.But on this high ground, a large number of infantry positions based on concrete machine gun fortresses were deployed.Combining the experience and lessons of trench warfare in World War I, these positions have set up a large number of underground ammunition storage depots, concrete blastholes, water supply stations, observation posts, command posts and dressing posts.

These facilities have extremely strong structural strength and have complete artillery defense capabilities.According to the construction standards of the Japanese army, these fortresses were designed with reference to the 105mm caliber howitzers used by the West Army at that time. Naturally, there was no danger in facing the 76mm mountain artillery of the Feng army.

When the infantry of the Feng army began to charge, the Japanese army quickly rushed into the trench from the hidden part, and massacred the Feng army with the weapons in their hands.Dense ammunition raged in the air, and Feng Jun soldiers who were advancing bravely fell one after another on the charge road, but made no progress.The Feng army's attack was locked 400 meters in front of the position, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't move forward.

Zhang Xueliang was determined to conquer Lushun. He took out all his belongings, opened up the supply of shells and bullets, and the troops launched waves of attacks. However, during the two-day attack, the Feng army died more than 203 in battle, but they were still unable to conquer Lushun. [-] Heights.

"Could it be that we are like the Japanese people back then, who needed tens of thousands of deaths to conquer this highland?" Zhang Xueliang looked at the place marked with 203 highland on the map, and frowned tightly.

"How about we ask the West Special Army for assistance? They have large-caliber artillery, tanks and bombers, any of which can conquer this high ground at a very small price." Guo Songling suggested.

"Could it be that I'm so incompetent that I need the help of the West Special Army to fight a small Lushun?" Zhang Xueliang was very dissatisfied with Guo Songling's ideas. Although he had decided to join the West Special Army, Zhang Xueliang still hoped that others would look at him highly.Only by making achievements like Lushun can he gain a firm foothold in the West Army in the future.

"Perhaps Marshal Zhang shouldn't be so stubborn. After all, the brothers under your command have parents, wives and children. Don't tell me you want to put their lives at risk for your own personal grievances?" A clear voice sounded, and then Admiral Chen Hu accompanied a group of A middle-aged man walked into the headquarters.

Admiral Chen Hu was authorized by Zhang Xueliang to enter his commander at any time, but he didn't know another person.Seeing that he didn't wear epaulets, he didn't seem to be a high-ranking official, but what he said just now was exactly what he said.Zhang Xuehao looked at the visitor curiously and said: "Sir, people always die in wars. Don't we fight wars because we are afraid of the death of soldiers?"

"These are two questions. Soldiers can sacrifice, but what must be sacrificed is valuable. How can you bear such a meaningless sacrifice?" The visitor replied with his head raised.
