It was six in the morning, and the sky was already bright.
Opposite the Golden Mountain Guards, near the northern shore of Xingzhou Bay, a huge fleet appeared on the sea.
There were transport ships, supply ships, cruisers, battleships, a huge aircraft carrier, and a large number of 10,000-ton freighters carrying all kinds of landing ships, tanks, artillery, and other heavy equipment.
They were the 10th division that had come to provide support. They had the 6th, 18th, 114th, and Guoqi divisions under their command. Their total strength was about 100,000 people.
On the Yura cruiser, Yanagawa Heisuke, who had not slept all night, had dark circles under his eyes as he looked at the calm Xingzhou Bay through the porthole.
A sense of crisis!
Ever since he entered Xingzhou Bay last night, a sense of danger that made him feel as if a knife was on his back arose spontaneously, making him anxious all night.
Could it be that the Chinese army already knew that the Tenth Army would land at the Golden Mountain Guards and set up an ambush?
The chief of staff, Nobutakeshi, saw that he was worried and could not help but comfort him again,"Commander, you don't have to worry so much. The navy will soon send out a large scale reconnaissance fleet to bombard the Golden Mountain Guards.”
That's true!
Yanagawa laughed at himself, thinking that he had overestimated the Chinese army.
The 10th army was secretly formed, and General Matsui Ishigne had already created false information on the main battlefield. The Chinese army had long believed that the reinforcements would definitely land at Wusongkou.
"Report!"
A communications staff officer strode in."Your Excellency, Vice Admiral Kawakiyo Hasegawa, the commander of the Navy's Third Fleet, has sent a telegram. They will take off their fleet to bombard Kanayama Guard in ten minutes.”
yeah ~
Yanagawa nodded slightly and waved at Moritake Tanabe.
"Have Shoufu Taniya, Sadao Ushijima, Shigeji Suematsu, and Kuniki get ready. After the bombing ends, they will be divided into seven groups to land on the Kanayama Guard.”
"Hey!"
……
Buzz ~
The sound of the engine was heard in the air, waking Lu Tian who was sleeping soundly on the reef.
He was here!
When they opened their eyes, they saw the overwhelming fleet of aircraft flying over their heads toward Jinshanwei Town not far away. The bomb magazines of the bomber had already been opened.
"Type-96 carrier-based fighter jets, Type-97 carrier-based attack aircraft, light and heavy bomber planes, damn it, Matsui Ishine really put in a lot of effort!”
Lu Tian had just finished his rant when an ear-piercing explosion sounded.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Hong Hong Hong ~
The power of the heavy bomb was extremely terrifying. It almost exploded in a large area, turning the area within a few thousand meters into a sea of fire in minutes.
The building was blown into pieces in an instant. The flammable materials that Lu Tian had hidden inside were ignited. Thick smoke rose into the sky and gradually enveloped the area within a few kilometers.
Ten minutes later.
More than 100 fighter planes of all kinds finished dropping their bombs. A few reconnaissance planes proudly circled a few times at low altitude before turning around and leaving. They had already confirmed that there were no military garrisons on the ground.
Such a big smoke?
Through the binoculars, Yanagawa was surprised to see the Kanayama Guard shrouded in smoke.
Wasn't this cigarette too abnormal?
Yes, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Deng ~
Tanabe Shitake walked over on the deck and whispered,""Commander, the navy is calling to report the results of their investigation. They have confirmed that there are no Chinese troops stationed at the Golden Mountain Guards. The second batch of fighter planes is ready to take off at any time to support them.”
"Alright, order the troops to start landing!”
Hi ~
As the landing order was issued, the Japanese, who had long been ready, immediately took action. They quickly unloaded the small boats from the freighter warships, loaded them with weapons and ammunition, and rushed towards the Golden Mountain Guards.
In their eyes, there was no danger at all. It was as simple as eating and drinking.
Little did he know…
November 5th, 1937, was a day destined to be recorded in history.
This was because the first and bloodiest anti-landing battle in human history would be carried out in the originally unknown town of Golden Mountain Guard. Lu Tian's reputation would be suppressed throughout the 20th century.
Swoosh ~
In the thick smoke where visibility was less than a hundred meters, a fully armed and murderous army appeared out of thin air, followed by a mountain of weapons and ammunition, as well as all kinds of heavy trucks dragging cannons. The black muzzles pointed straight at Xingzhou Bay.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Then, the main event came. On a hill seven or eight hundred meters away from the beach, a hundred coastal defense cannons wrapped in reinforced concrete and completely embedded in the mountain were installed after a few seconds of space distortion. The 406 mm thick cannon barrels were quietly pointed at the sea.
The nightmare of the 10th army was about to arrive. This was a massacre that Lu Tian had meticulously planned.
" The first regiment will be responsible for White Sand Beach, the second regiment will be responsible for Qijiadun, the third regiment will be responsible for the south gate, the fourth regiment will be responsible for Caojing, the fifth regiment will be responsible for Xiyun Mountain, and the heavy artillery regiment will be responsible for cooperating with the coastal defense artillery regiment to intercept and kill the Japanese fleet. The air defense artillery regiment will be in position. The entire army must build a simple position on the beach within ten minutes. Once the Japanese come ashore, they will fire freely.”
Lin Zhan's order was quickly relayed to the various regiments, and the nearly 30,000 First Division of the National Defense Force scattered.
They used the terrain to build a two-kilometer-long defensive position among the reefs on the beach.
A large number of MG42s and M2HH heavy machine guns were set up. The second shooter dragged a long chain of bullets and waited for the Japanese to land on the beach.
A great battle was about to break out!
