So, now they need such a lie to make the soldiers cooperate with their actions.
"The content of this exercise is really strange. Are there any retreat exercises?"
Some soldiers began to discuss in low voices.
In their opinion, the troops of the Fourth Army are basically attacking, attacking, and attacking.
Retreat is not unheard of, but it is always tactical.
But when the orders from their superiors come down, they, as soldiers, must carry them out.
"Okay, let's stop discussing and get into position!!"
Their company commander said loudly at this time.
"yes!!"
The soldiers answered in unison and immediately entered the designated defensive position.
On the sea more than ten kilometers away from them, the Japanese aircraft carriers and battleships have temporarily stopped.
The huge hull made of steel is like a giant bowing above the sea, leaving an extremely huge black shadow in the darkness.
The Japanese soldiers rode landing craft and quietly approached the port ahead.
They need to sneak ashore, and then occupy the port ahead at the minimum cost.
According to the intelligence they had received before, there were less than 300 enemies inside the port at this time.
They have repeatedly confirmed this information and there is nothing wrong with it.
The intelligence personnel at the front of the Japanese army were also on the slope in the distance at this time, observing the situation on the opposite side.
The dark port was extremely quiet at this time.
Some ships that were originally moored at the port also left the port a few hours ago and went to unknown distant places.
"There is nothing unusual about the enemy's port. You can carry out landing operations at any time."
The Japanese intelligence personnel on land kept in contact with the Japanese landing troops on the sea through their walkie-talkies at all times.
The buzzing sound of the motor was drowned out by the crashing waves and the sound of the sea breeze.
Soldiers from three squadrons of the Japanese army, as the advance team, took landing craft and approached the port amidst such waves and sea breeze.
They were heavily armed and carried a large number of grenades and explosive bags on their backs.
According to the intelligence they obtained before, the enemy troops have many bunkers in the port.
Such a bunker poses a great threat to them.
Three squadrons of nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers arrived less than a hundred meters from the port after more than half an hour of sailing.
They did not expect that the enemy did not have any alert troops here.
The Japanese commanders still did not dare to neglect. Before they came here, they had been warned repeatedly not to underestimate the Fourth Army.
Because during the previous Battle of North China, their troops paid a very heavy price when they landed.
This is a group of powerful opponents.
Even though there are only more than 200 enemies in this port now, it is less than one-third of our own strength.
"No enemy found!"
The probing soldiers whispered to their forward commander.
"Quietly touch it."
"yes!"
As the soldier said this, he left with a group of people, got off their landing craft, and then swam forward in the direction of the waves.
Other Japanese soldiers also began to disembark from the landing craft and gradually approached the port ahead.
What they don¡¯t know is that at this moment, their actions are clearly visible to the soldiers of the Fourth Army in the port.
Using infrared night vision devices, it was extremely easy for the soldiers of the Fourth Army to capture the Japanese troops moving on the sea.
However, they obeyed the company commander's order and stayed in the position honestly at this time and did not open fire at will.
Finally, the lurking Japanese soldiers quietly entered the port.
They left and formed their own battle formation, and at the same time began to search the area within their sight.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came.
Several illumination bombs flew high into the sky at this time, and the Japanese soldiers who were still sneaking immediately let out a strange scream.
The soldiers of the Fourth Army stationed on the position not far away immediately started shooting wildly at the Japanese army.
As soon as the Japanese commander saw it, he knew that their actions hadExposed.
Since it¡¯s impossible to attack by surprise, let¡¯s just attack hard.
The Japanese commander on the landing craft roared, raised the katana at his waist, pointed forward and roared: "Soldiers, charge forward!!!"
At this time, the Japanese soldiers also began to scream and rush forward.
When the soldiers of the Fourth Army above saw the Japanese troops below, they thought they were their comrades who were practicing with them.
While they were thinking about shooting below, they were thinking that these comrades were working very hard to act like little devils and make it look real.
The bullets fired by the Japanese army also flew over the heads of these soldiers at this time.
The two company commanders who were originally directing the battle in the trenches and bunkers saw that the Japanese firepower was covering them, and immediately ordered their soldiers to retreat.
Because we had made an agreement with our soldiers before, their retreat went much smoother than expected.
The soldiers happily rushed out of the trench, got on their trucks, and drove directly outside the port.
The Japanese soldiers were originally prepared to fight to the end, but at this time the gunfire from the Fourth Army on the opposite side stopped.
This made the Japanese commander stunned for a long time without reacting.
What does it mean? An empty city strategy?
Or is it tempting us to move forward and then kill us more efficiently?
While his thoughts were swirling, the Japanese troops in the port had already begun to charge forward.
They heard a sound of truck horns, and when they looked at the entrance and exit of the port, they found that there was already a convoy of trucks leaving the port at a high speed.
"Did they escape?"
The Japanese commander asked, looking at the retreating soldiers of the Fourth Army in the distance.
The soldier beside him nodded and said, "It looks like this. They seem to be afraid of us?"
"How can it be?"
The Japanese commander said incredulously, but he didn¡¯t want to analyze the reasons behind it now.
Because the enemy now chooses to retreat, doesn¡¯t this mean giving up this port to them?
¡°Then if he doesn¡¯t accept it now, wouldn¡¯t he become Sima Yi who was so frightened by the empty city plan that he didn¡¯t dare to move forward?
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered his soldiers to continue moving forward.
Soon, the Japanese military flag was raised at the highest point of the port.
Seeing the raised military flag, the Japanese frontline commander finally felt relieved. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
