Bright Sword Military System

The landing ship does not have any warship protection, and there are only a few anti-aircraft machine guns on the ship. They are not even ready for combat... In fact, even if they are prepared, there is nothing they can do with anti-ship missiles. The speed of anti-ship missiles can often reach 400 when diving. With a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour, flying objects at this speed are difficult to intercept with anti-aircraft machine guns.

So 37 anti-ship missiles slammed into the landing ship like hailstones in a burst of roar. The landing ship shook violently and shook many Japanese who were standing on the side of the ship or climbing on the ropes into the water. There were panicked and struggling Japs everywhere.

There are only more than 2000 serious Marines in the Japanese landing troops, and they have already been the first batch to land on Huludao to fight with the Eighth Route Army.

Most of the remaining people who were still landing on the landing ship were Japanese infantry.

Let’s not talk about whether they can swim or not. Even if they can swim, they are fully armed with various equipment strapped to their bodies: engineering shovels, backpacks, marching quilts, guns and ammunition, etc. Many of them are strapped to their bodies and cannot be taken off for a while, so they can be accidentally dropped. Wherever they could float in the sea, everyone struggled desperately and soon sank.

But they are still lucky...

Since the landing ship was converted from a civilian ship and was converted into a landing ship, the armor protection was not increased. The anti-ship missile easily penetrated its deck and exploded inside. One of them seemed to have been blasted through the bottom of the ship. It was probably The landing ship also carried ammunition inside, which was detonated by an anti-ship missile and was seriously flooded.

The hull soon began to tilt, and soon it lost its balance and rolled half of its body, trapping a large number of Japanese infantry inside.

The other three ships were all ablaze with raging fires, and there were devils covered in fire shouting and struggling to jump into the water everywhere on the bow and stern.

But even if they jumped into the water, they wouldn't be able to save them. It would just be another way to die.

Ozawa Jisaburo looked at the burning landing ships from a distance and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Asshole, the Eighth Route Army seems to know the situation of our army very well!"

No wonder Ozawa Jisaburo said that if the Eighth Route Army did not understand the situation of the Japanese, anti-ship missiles should not target landing ships but aircraft carriers.

If the aircraft carrier is bombed, the Japanese may still win.

Because the Japanese army has successfully landed, the first batch of troops have gained a firm foothold in Huludao, and then they only need to land one after another.

The Eighth Route Army may have reinforcements to launch a counterattack on Huludao.

But as long as the fleet carries out artillery reinforcements to the army despite the threat of anti-ship missiles, and the army continues to land at night... it is still unknown who will win in the end.

However, the Eighth Route Army now destroyed four of the Empire's landing ships in one fell swoop.

There were six to seven thousand imperial soldiers in these four landing ships, and they disappeared after a burst of noise.

More important than this.

Instead, the troops that had successfully landed on Huludao lost follow-up reinforcements and became alone.

The empire can organize the next batch of landings, but it will take at least two or three days for the landing ship to arrive urgently from the Philippines. Will Huludao still be in the hands of the imperial army by then?

Will the Imperial Army start all over again?

Therefore, the moment the Eighth Route Army's anti-ship missiles targeted the landing ship, the outcome of this war was no longer in suspense, and the empire's combat plan was destined to fail.

The battle situation is indeed like this. There are only more than 2000 Marines that the Japanese have landed. Although these are elite soldiers of the Japanese, they can't stop the siege of the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army simply moved the two regiments in the direction of Huludao, then brought in the artillery detection radar and two howitzer battalions, and then treated these elite Japanese soldiers like mice.

News of the frontline's defeat reached Naosaburo Okabe one after another.

Okabe Naosaburo's hand holding the tea cup was trembling, and he finally put it back on the table.

In fact, the moment a telegram was sent from the front line saying that the Eighth Route Army's new fighter planes had been discovered and there were 6 more, Naosaburo Okabe knew that this battle would not end well.

But he didn't expect that the battle would be so brutal:

Almost all the "Hast" fighters were wiped out, with only a negligible dozen of the total 83 remaining.

The landing ship was blown up by an anti-ship missile, and nearly [-] troops were lost in an instant... Those were elite troops selected by Naosaburo Okabe from the North China Front Army in order to flank the Eighth Route Army!

Do you know how important elite soldiers are to the empire at this time?

The North China Front could not even find a few veterans with combat experience, but these nearly [-] carefully selected elite soldiers were burned to the ground!

More importantly, does "Blast" still have meaning?

Judging from the fact that the Eighth Route Army has a new type of fighter jet and can immediately reinforce Huludao from Xinjing, the range of this new type of Eighth Route Army fighter jet is much farther than the combat radius of only three to four hundred kilometers that he estimated.

This means that the Eighth Route Army's new fighter aircraft can cover the entire Northeast.

In other words, the entire air superiority in the Northeast belongs to the Eighth Route Army!

So how to fight this battle?

Naosaburo Okabe thought for a while and then reluctantly ordered: "Send a report to Tokyo that our army's battle on Huludao failed!"

In fact, there is no need for Naosaburo Okabe to send a report. Tokyo has already received the results of the battle from Jisaburo Ozawa.

Tokyo thought for a long time and believed that if there was no hope of landing on Huludao, it would be meaningless for Ozawa's fleet to stay in China... This fleet could not even transfer the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.

Attack the shipyard?

Or are you seeking a fight with the Eighth Route Army's Coastal Defense Regiment?

None of this can support the fighting between Ping'an Village and Xinjing.

Therefore, Tokyo could only order the fleet to return the same way in the hope of fighting again next time!

As for the attack on Heian Village and Xinjing, Tokyo immediately sent a report to Umezu Yoshijiro:

"Please rest assured, Umezu-kun, we will immediately send troops to reinforce your department from the direction of the stick! Please Umezu-kun, no matter what the situation, we must ensure the offensive against Ping'an Village and Xinjing!"

When Umezu Yoshijiro saw this order, his mood immediately sank to the bottom.

He is stationed in "Manchukuo" and knows what is going on with Bangzi's supply route. Now it is about to enter winter, and the transportation line in the direction of Bangzi will soon be completely cut off due to heavy snow closing the mountains.

But Tokyo actually still asked the Kwantung Army to attack under such circumstances...

Umezu Meijiro thought angrily:

So what if the Kwantung Army can finally capture Ping'an Village?

If we can't defend it, even the entire "Manchukuo" cannot be defended, so what if we know there is oil in Ping'an Village?

Umezu Yoshijiro thought of retreat for the first time. He believed that in this case the Kwantung Army should abandon the west and north areas and withdraw to the east.

In this way, at least you can advance, attack, retreat and defend with the Yalu River at your back.

But now I am being dragged down by a small safe village and unable to move...
