These Japanese soldiers, amidst the scolding of their officers, walked out of the cabin and lined up on the deck.
Within half an hour, they had eaten rice balls, filled their kettles with fresh water, and their bodies were bulging with grenades and bullets.
According to the intelligence from their previous reconnaissance aircraft, the enemy has built a large number of defensive positions along the coast.
This gave many Japanese soldiers a premonition that a bloody beach landing was coming.
Dark clouds began to cover the sea in the distance, and the sound of the waves of the sea, like the clutter of a radio station, became the background sound under the dim sky.
Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the coastline in the distance, which was winding like the back of a long black dragon.
He tried to straighten his chest, then lowered his head and looked at his watch. It's like looking at your own cards.
"Start the bombardment!!"
After Yamamoto Isoroku said these words, the naval guns of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation immediately began to bombard the coast of the landing site.
The Japanese naval guns aimed their artillery at the defensive positions on the coastline early.
Most of these Japanese naval guns have very large calibers, which are far beyond the comparison of ordinary ground artillery.
Especially the artillery on the battleship, the largest caliber can even reach 400mm. The shells used with such a huge caliber can only be loaded mechanically, and cannot be loaded manually.
??The Japanese battleship "Yamato" that was launched later had a gun with a maximum caliber of 460mm.
Such a terrifying artillery caliber can even stuff a person directly into the barrel.
With thousands of guns firing, Japanese battleships, destroyers, and cruisers simultaneously launched a fierce bombardment on the coastline.
The defense line built on the distant coastline was shrouded in gunpowder smoke in the blink of an eye.
In the violent explosion, the entire coastline seemed to be burning in flames.
As Xia Yang had expected before, the Japanese army relied on their large-caliber naval guns and the large-caliber shells they fired to easily blow their emergency fortifications into smithereens.
As for the trenches and air-raid shelters, they were directly razed to the ground by the Japanese large-caliber naval guns.
The depth of the huge crater left by the explosion of the artillery shell can reach several meters. Some coastal fortifications were even turned into big pits due to continuous bombing by the Japanese army.
The Tianjin port was not bombarded by the Japanese army.
Because the Japanese army still needs to use the port here. If the port is completely destroyed, they will lose the meaning of occupying here.
Not only that, the large number of permanent defenses built in Tianjin Port can even withstand the bombardment of Japanese naval guns of all calibers.
Therefore, the Japanese army's attack on the port mainly used small-caliber artillery with relatively less destructive power, as well as ground troops to encircle, and a beach landing operation combined into one combat plan.
The person responsible for attacking here is the Japanese Third Brigade.
The Third Brigade is affiliated to the Sendai Division of Japan. Although it is only a brigade, its troop strength has reached 10,000.
They will first conduct beach landing operations from the beaches on both sides of the pier, and then cooperate with landing craft at sea to launch attacks from the ground.
According to the intelligence previously obtained by the Japanese army, the number of troops stationed at this dock should be about 6,000.
In terms of military strength and firepower, the Japanese army has a great advantage.
Therefore, Kiichi Bomen, commander of the Japanese Third Brigade, stood on the deck of the Japanese destroyer "King Kong" and looked at the dock in the distance with a telescope, and also showed a confident smile.
On both sides of the destroyer, the Japanese landing craft had begun to charge towards the beaches on both sides of the pier.
At this time, the coastal positions were still under heavy bombardment by the Japanese army.
But soon, they will stop shelling.
¡°More than ten minutes later, a large number of Japanese landing craft, like sharks floating in the waves, launched an impact on the coast.
Most of the Japanese soldiers in the landing craft were nervous at this time. They talked loudly amidst the sound of the waves to hide their inner nervousness.
In fact, most of these Japanese soldiers have never experienced a real war.
Although they have also undergone rigorous training, they have very excellent talents.He has excellent individual combat skills, as well as extremely high discipline and execution.
But without seeing a real war, without struggling in blood and fire, they cannot grow into real warriors.
At this time, the Japanese commanders were also in the landing craft, facing the Japanese soldiers, repeatedly emphasizing the details that needed to be paid attention to in the battle.
As the Japanese landing craft got closer and closer to the coast, the surging waves around them gradually calmed down.
As soon as the Japanese army approached the beach, the heavy machine gun installed on the bow of the landing craft began to roar, suppressing the defensive positions of the Fourth Army on the coastline.
But until their infantry got off the landing craft and stepped on the soft beach, not a single bullet hit them in the defensive positions of the Fourth Army opposite.
This did not occur to the Japanese soldiers who were very nervous before.
They had already imagined countless bloody beach landing operations in their minds, and even imagined how they would die heroically on this foreign land.
But everything in front of them now is completely different from what they expected.
Everything was so quiet, so quiet that it was a bit scary.
After a brief communication, the Japanese commanders decided to dispatch a small group of troops to launch an attack on the defensive positions along the coast of the Fourth Army.
After crossing the barbed wire fence, they successfully arrived at the Fourth Army's position.
This place is already devastated and turned into a scorched earth under the raging fire of Japanese naval guns.
The Japanese soldiers who rushed to the position did not even see a single figure.
They followed the trench and searched the entire defensive position, but found nothing.
So these Japanese soldiers immediately used walkie-talkies to tell the Japanese soldiers hoarding on the beach that there were no enemies on the position.
The Japanese troops on the beach immediately rushed towards the position.
On the defensive positions of the Fourth Army along the coast, the Japanese plaster flag was slowly rising.
For these Japanese soldiers who participated in the battle for the first time, the victory in this battle came too easily.
Although the enemy was not seen, occupying this coastal position and planting their sun flag could still make the Japanese soldiers burst into cheers.
