At night, the sea near Jin Town was shrouded in the thick darkness of the night. The waves rose and fell, and the waves hit the beach with a splash.
An infantry company of the 62nd Division was stationed in Jin Town. Their main task was to monitor the nearby coastline.
Although Zhao Ting had warned their division that there might be a large number of Japanese troops landing in this area, he had asked them to be on guard.
However, it was a non-existent matter after all. Zhao Ting could not produce any evidence. In addition, the commander of the 62nd Division felt that he was being commanded by a lieutenant colonel, so he directly ignored Zhao Ting's reminder.
Nothing happened during the day. After the last team of coastal patrol returned to Jin Town, only a few sentry posts remained.
However, the management of the troops was lax. There was originally an infantry squad guarding the outpost, but now there were only a few people, and they were all gathered to play cards.
While the soldiers were playing cards happily in the sentry post, a few black shadows came out of the darkness. They held sharp blades in their hands and approached the house.
" Who is it?!"
"Puchi!"
"Ah!"
These black shadows were some of the spies that the Japanese had hidden in the area. They quickly and cleanly took care of the soldiers stationed at a few outposts.
A Japanese spy turned on his flashlight and began to signal the pitch-black sea.
Very soon, Hei Junjun's steel warships emerged from the darkness. One after another, they soon covered the sea near Golden Town.
The Japanese Third Fleet had already sent hundreds of troop-carrying ships to the nearby waters during the day, but they did not dare to approach the coast.
Now, the sound of the waves covered the sound of the Japanese warships. The warships and troop-carrying ships loaded with Japanese soldiers arrived here, and they were about to land here.
Once they successfully landed here, they would join forces with the main forces on the Songhu battlefield to launch a pincer attack on the Chinese army and completely destroy them.
The war room of the Japanese flagship was brightly lit. More than 20 high-ranking generals of the Japanese were gathered together. On the sand table in the middle of them, the Chinese troops stationed in various places were marked.
"The 6th division will be the vanguard for the landing. After the landing, we will advance deeper and occupy Song County before noon tomorrow. We will advance to the vicinity of the Pujiang River before noon and cut off the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway.”Lieutenant General Liu Chuan pointed at the sand table and ordered.
"Ha Yi!"
A fat Japanese general immediately bowed heavily, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty excitement.
"18th division, after landing, attack along the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway. You must take down Hang County within two days!”
"Ha Yi!"
"The rest of the troops will follow up. We will split into two groups and cut off the retreat of the main Chinese army. We will cooperate with the dispatched troops to surround and annihilate the main Chinese army in this area.”Liu Chuan drew a circle on the map with his baton.
The Japanese generals were all excited. They knew that it was time for them to make a name for themselves.
"Report, the tide has risen. Do you want to go ashore?”
At this moment, a Japanese intelligence officer strode into the war room and reported to the commander of the 10th army.
"The vanguard troops have landed, and the cannons are firing at all targets!”
"Ha Yi!"
Soon, the Japanese generals in the war room filed out and quickly returned to their respective troops on the assault boats.
Meanwhile, the landing ships loaded with Japanese soldiers had already begun to use the impact of the high tide to quickly approach the shore.
"Ten rapid shots!"
"reload!"
"Shoot!"
More than 20 Japanese warships were lined up on the sea. Their black cannons were raised high, emitting a metallic luster.
"Tong!"
With a deafening roar, balls of fire rose from the sea. These flames were particularly dazzling in the night sky. Then, with an ear-piercing whistle, they smashed into various targets along the coast.
"Boom!"
The first Japanese artillery shell landed in a village near Jinshan Town, and a house was flattened in the explosion.
"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!"
Soon, a dense number of artillery shells rained down, covering the sky and covering the earth. The entire village was destroyed in the flames of the explosion.
The main target of the Japanese cannons was Jin Town, and it was no exception. The shells covered the town one after another, and the explosions sounded one after another. The huge town quickly turned into a sea of fire.
The Japanese's cannons were extremely powerful. With their concentrated fire, all the targets were quickly flattened.
Many of the Chinese soldiers stationed nearby were killed in their sleep. After clearing out the targets along the coast, the Japanese cannons began to fire.
The first batch of Japanese soldiers, the 13th Infantry Regiment, had already swarmed onto the beach.
"Kill Gaigai!"
Following the order of the Japanese infantry regiment commander, the Japanese soldiers charged towards the razed ground like a tidal wave.
The location of the 62nd Division's headquarters, the 2nd Artillery Brigade, and its subordinate regiments had long been figured out by the Japanese spies and traitors.
The Japanese's first wave of cannon fire paralyzed the Chinese troops before they could react.
Some of the surviving Chinese soldiers crawled up from the ruins of the explosion. When they saw the entire burning town, they were also dumbfounded. They did not even know where the enemy came from.
"Is there anyone alive? Is there anyone alive?”
Soon, the surviving soldiers began to shout loudly in the flames and ruins, searching for survivors.
However, in such a large town, only a few survivors were found. Among them, there was only one injured second lieutenant platoon leader.
"Platoon leader, what should we do?"
"The Japanese are attacking. Let's hurry and report to the division headquarters!”
Seeing the cannonballs flying over from the sea, the sky turned red. After thinking for a while, the second lieutenant led the survivors and rushed straight to the division headquarters.
However, when they arrived at the division headquarters, they found that the location of the division headquarters had already been covered by artillery fire. It had been reduced to ruins, and all the houses had disappeared. There were only burning flames and flames.
