The situation of cruisers, battleships, and destroyers is often even more miserable.
Countless warships, amid the shelling and bombing of the Fourth Army, exploded and sank, and continued to burn above the sea water.
On the surface of the water, floating corpses of Japanese soldiers can be seen everywhere, and below the burning water surface, there are many corpses of Japanese soldiers that have sunk and become targets for fish to compete for nibbles.
Only some Japanese soldiers could reach the shore in lifeboats.
Another small group of Japanese soldiers used other floating objects to swim desperately towards the port land.
The port land at the moment is not a very safe place, but compared to the purgatory they are in at the moment, it can be called a paradise.
At least, there they can find a bunker that can help them shield themselves from the bombardment.
Instead of like now, there are only countless corpses around. Surrounding them are huge splashes of water that are constantly blown up by cannonballs, and countless corpses that have been blown to pieces. Following those splashes, dozens of flying knives are flying. meters in the air, and then crashed down on their heads.
Those Japanese soldiers were still frightened by such a scene at first, but later they became completely numb.
They are just praying that the artillery shells fired by the enemy and the bombs dropped by the enemy's fighter jets and bombers will not fall on their heads.
The reconnaissance aircraft formation of the Fourth Army once again flew over the Japanese fleet.
However, this time the reconnaissance planes were right, and it was already difficult to find a target worthy of their bombing.
The squadron leader of the reconnaissance aircraft formation responsible for conducting reconnaissance immediately used the radio he carried to send intelligence to their rear.
"Report, the enemy fleet has been basically destroyed, and the ground forces can attack with confidence."
"clear."
On the other side, the command headquarters immediately passed the news to the ground offensive troops.
In fact, even without such a piece of information, the offensive of the ground forces has been fully launched.
They assembled hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles on the front, covering the entire front of the port.
At the same time, there were a large number of accompanying infantry troops, cooperating with the tank troops to attack forward.
Behind them are a large number of artillery units, covering their advance.
Now, although these artillery units no longer launch their artillery shells and rockets into the port where the Japanese fleet is located, their artillery shells are still flying out of the gun barrels, and their rockets are still Keep flying out of the rocket launcher.
The main targets of their bombardment now are several Japanese defense positions outside the port, as well as many Japanese defense facilities inside the port.
For example, the Japanese artillery positions on the sides, anti-aircraft artillery positions, their infantry defensive positions, and several important permanent defenses.
In addition, there were a large number of fighter jets and bombers. After receiving the order not to attack the Japanese fleet, they instead launched a violent bombing of the Japanese ground forces.
At this time, a large number of fighter jets lowered their flying altitude, dived and strafed the Japanese camp, dropped bombs, etc.
Many Japanese sailors who had just climbed ashore originally thought that this place would not be subject to strafing from the enemy on the opposite side, but they were wrong.
Even when they reached the shore, they still had to withstand bombs, incendiary bombs, and bullets falling from the sky.
Under the cover of other soldiers, the Japanese commander on the southern front, Ping Tianya, finally reached their headquarters inside the fortifications inside the port.
Seeing that Pingzhen was safe and sound, the Japanese commanders in the port were also very surprised.
They saw the sinking of the aircraft carrier and thought that the main commanders such as Hirata Shinya and Oto Shiro had sunk to the bottom of the sea together with those battleships.
It seems now that they had the wrong idea.
At least Ping Tianzhenya and Oto Shiro were lucky. Although they looked very embarrassed, they still stood in front of everyone with unyielding expressions of determination on their faces.
"Commander-in-Chief, are you okay?"
Seeing that Daohira Tianya and Oto Shiro, the Japanese commanders here, hurriedly greeted Dao.
Ping Tianzhenye¡¯s eyes were firm, and he waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to help him.
Come to the commandIn front of the table, he picked up the military kettle on it, drank the cold water in it, took a last breath, looked at the map and said: "Organize defense forces immediately, the enemy's ground troops must be thinking at this moment Our forward positions charged.
All our strength must be used at this time. The enemy's attack on the opposite side must be unprecedentedly fierce. "
As he spoke, he looked forward.
From the window here, he can see the port that is currently shrouded in artillery fire. Everything there is burning, even the steel is burning amidst such bombings and such flames.
Of the Japanese troops on the ground, only corpses were left.
Other Japanese soldiers entered various fortifications one after another to avoid the bombardment of artillery shells outside.
However, even if you are hiding inside the fortifications, you may not be safe.
Only a part of the Japanese soldiers were burned to ashes by the flames that kept entering their fortifications under such fierce bombardment.
Others were suffocated to death by the large amount of toxic gases produced when burning napalm bombs.
There were also some Japanese soldiers whose fortifications were not strong enough and were directly blown into ruins under the fierce artillery fire of the Fourth Army.
No matter what, the Japanese army is undergoing an unprecedented fierce attack at this moment. Even now, they are only experiencing enemy artillery attacks, and they have not even seen what the enemy on the opposite side looks like.
But they will see each other soon.
Because the enemies who want to attack them and kill them are currently in the boundless darkness that they cannot see, on the wilderness that extends into the distance, and are constantly moving in the direction where they are.
The Japanese soldiers are hiding in their respective fortifications at this moment.
Their commanders received orders from above via phone or radio, asking them to immediately enter defensive positions after the bombardment and build fortifications to deal with the enemy's upcoming fierce attack. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
