Chapter 485 Landing

The Chinese troops' fighter jets and bombers came up and bombed the port of Lushun.

However, this kind of "bombing and indiscriminate bombing" seems to be irregular, but if you observe it carefully, you will find that they all have very clear targets... The targets of bomb throwing are either the Japanese arsenal or the Japanese barracks, and even the command center is bombed.

This made Colonel Inoue, the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Lushun Port, come and say on the phone: "We are attacked by the enemy..."

Then the call was interrupted.

Needless to say, several aviation bombs roared from the sky and fell from the sky. On the spot, the four-story western-style building used by the Japanese army as the command center collapsed, and all commanders, including Colonel Inoue, buried in the ruins.

The reason why the Chinese troops' bombing opportunities were so accurate was that there had been a Chinese team lurking in the port of Lushun. They reported the distribution map of the Japanese troops in detail to the Chinese troops... It was not difficult for them to do this. After all, it was the territory of the Chinese people, and the Chinese people hated them to the core because of the brutality of the Japanese army, so there were too many Chinese people who could use it.

Another is that many of these reconnaissance units lurking into the port are artillery scouts. When the Chinese Navy and the Air Force bombed the port, they actually hid at a high place and corrected the ballistics for the Chinese Navy and Air Force through radio.

These all make bombs and shells fly like eyes-like Japanese military bases.

But more importantly, the Japanese army was not prepared for defense at all in Lushun Port... Judging from the location of Lushun Port, it can be said to be the hinterland from any direction, and even the southeast where the Chinese fleet came... According to the Japanese army's usual idea, if the enemy fleet could fight from the sea to Lushun, the Japanese joint fleet would basically no longer exist.

But to be honest, the difference between the existence and non-existence of the Japanese combined fleet at this time is not very big, but a considerable number of the Japanese army did not know that the Japanese combined fleet had reached this point... From this point of view, it was also the Japanese senior leaders who concealed the defeat from the inside to avoid affecting morale and reaped the consequences.

Therefore, what the Japanese 1st Regiment stationed in Lushun Port did at Lushun Port was nothing more than maintaining public security and ensuring the safety of highways, railways and ports in the country. As for defense... they didn't even have an air raid shelter that could be used to hide.

To be precise, there are still air raid shelters in Lushun, but that was built by the Russians during the Russo-Japanese War, and the Japanese army after that... they didn't think they would be air strikes at all, so of course they were too lazy to build any air raid shelters.

As a result, the bombing of the Chinese team at Lushun Port caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army at the first time... A corps of more than 3,000 Japanese troops were killed and injured on the spot, most of whom were sleeping in the barracks before they understood what was going on. The remaining more than 1,000 people were unable to organize effective defenses because they lost command. Another puppet army with more than 5,000 people was also bombed to collapse on the spot.

In fact, even if these Japanese troops could organize defense, it would not be a big deal, because the scouts who sneaked into Lushun Port early in the morning were also taking advantage of the difficulties everywhere. There was a gunshot here and an explosion there, which only made the Japanese and puppet troops dizzy. They couldn't figure out which direction the enemy came from or how many people they were, and they couldn't defend themselves if they wanted to defend.

The only thing that can still play a point is the fort deployed by the Japanese army in the Xijiguan Mountain area of ​​the "Tiger Tail"... Xijiguan Mountain can be said to be a natural barrier for Lushun Port. The originally very narrow port formed a curved trough due to the deposition of sea sand. The narrow and long anti-"S" shape is a natural embankment like a tiger's tail, which forces all ships entering Lushun Port to have to take a section of the road along the "Tiger Tail" curve.

It can be imagined that if a solid fortress was laid on the commanding heights on Xijiguan Mountain on both sides, the port could be easily blocked with artillery fire.

The Japanese army did have forts on Jiguan Mountain in Xi, but unfortunately... Due to the above reasons, the fortifications here were basically left behind during the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese army just repaired them slightly and then ignored them.

Although these fortifications are all cement fortifications, they are exposed outside the soil layer, which is incomparable to the Japanese fortifications on Tarawa Island or Iwo Jima.

So before a few shells were fired, half of these turrets were blown up by Chinese Air Force bombers. Then the Chinese fleet's warships drove up again, and hundreds of high-platform dual-purpose cannons bombarded the turrets, and soon they were all destroyed.

Then, the Second Regiment, which had been ready for boarding 6, sent a battalion of troops to board Higgins ships and amphibious boarding 6 vehicles, rushed to Xijiguan Mountain under the cover of naval guns and fighter jets, and completely occupied the commanding heights on both sides of the port.

Immediately afterwards, the "Donald Duck" also got ashore under the cover of infantry. As soon as it got ashore, it immediately turned into a "Sheerman" tank, aimed its muzzle at the Japanese army and ships in the port and bombarded violently.

Then, under the cover of the commanding heights of both wings, another battalion took Higgins to quickly bypass the "Tiger Tail" and entered the port and boarded 6...

In fact, what the Chinese troops did seemed a bit unnecessary, because the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Lushun had long been defeated, and the puppet troops had even gone first and didn't know where they went... They were originally forced to be the Japanese hawks and dogs due to the Japanese army's tyranny or greedy life. Of course, they would not work hard for the Japanese army at critical moments.

The remaining more than a thousand Japanese troops organized several lines of defense.

But this so-called line of defense is to build a bunch of sandbags on the street and then lay out several machine guns and rifles on the sandbags.

Such a defense line may be a problem for the Chinese team in China. The reason is that the Japanese have great advantages in light weapons compared to the Japanese. This is not only that the Japanese rifles and machine gun performance are generally higher than that of **... In modern times, many netizens have better performance than the Japanese style 38 in the ** equipment, so they concluded that the ** equipment is better than that of the Japanese army.

But this is obviously wrong... The official equipment volume in ** is not high, and more of it is made in Hanyang, light, heavy machine guns, mortars and other equipment volumes are lower than those of the Japanese army. Especially the Japanese army has a "big killer" grenade launcher that is difficult to deal with, which makes ** have a big gap with the Japanese army in terms of light weapons.

However, what the Japanese army had to deal with was not the ordinary Chinese team. This was a Chinese expeditionary force that had been back from the Pacific battlefield and had a full American equipment and had rich combat experience!
