The Japanese soldiers hid in the fortifications built in advance, patiently waiting for the tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Army to approach.
Many of their fortifications were destroyed in previous shellings.
Those large-caliber howitzer shells were unable to withstand even the reinforced Japanese fortifications.
Many soldiers of the Japanese army were looking for bunkers where they could hide within these abandoned fortifications.
¡°Order the troops on both wings to press forward immediately after the troops on the front launch their offensive.
The air force bombed as many Japanese ports as possible.
They have a lot of supplies in the port. If these Japanese supplies can be destroyed, it will further weaken the combat effectiveness of the Japanese troops in the interior. "
"yes!!!"
The staff officer beside him said and began to pass his words to the air force.
At this moment, the air force flying in this direction has taken off for the second time.
They previously carried out a bombing mission against the Japanese fleet, and then returned to stamp out ammunition and fuel. They barely stopped before taking off again.
Now, the targets of their attacks are no longer the Japanese aircraft carriers and battleships.
Those warships now have no value in attacking and bombing. They want to attack the Japanese troops in the port and the Japanese positions outside the port.
These bombers and fighter jets carry a large number of napalm bombs, incendiary bombs, etc.
There are not that many high-explosive bombs. Only some fighter jets carry some high-explosive bombs in the magazine.
Their main task this time was to carpet bomb the Japanese positions and at the same time carry out further killings of the Japanese troops hiding in the port.
The Japanese troops on the outer positions looked at the enemies on the horizon in the distance and just fired heavy machine gun bullets at them. They seemed to have no intention of further charging their positions.
"The enemies on the opposite side don't seem to be in a hurry to attack."
Through the observation window, Shiro Oto can see the situation on the battlefield over there.
Under the illumination of the flares launched by the Japanese and Fourth Army, he could see the enemy troops on the opposite side, which were staying more than 500 meters away from the Japanese position.
Those tank guns and heavy machine guns kept roaring, bombarding and suppressing the Japanese positions.
But on the other hand, their soldiers had no intention of attacking and were just attacking with tanks and armored vehicles.
"They are waiting."
Ping Tianzhen on the side also said, "Waiting for their artillery fire support or air power support."
The enemy on the opposite side has absolutely superior artillery and aerial firepower, and it is impossible for them not to take advantage of this.
Now it is too stupid to directly use their infantry and armored troops to attack the Japanese positions.
It will increase many unnecessary casualties.
But with the support of artillery firepower and aerial firepower, and then launching an attack on the Japanese positions, the casualties of the troops can be reduced very effectively.
Just as they thought, a "buzzing" sound came from the distant night sky at this moment.
The sound was like a constantly running machine, and the roar echoed in their ears.
"The bomber group is the enemy's bomber group. Order all anti-aircraft firepower to stop them!!!"
Ping Tianzhen also immediately ordered.
But the air defense force they still have is very limited. Under the previous fierce bombardment by the enemy, their air defense force in the port is now less than half.
As for the warships originally parked in the port, they also had a lot of anti-aircraft firepower on them.
But now, as those warships were all destroyed in the enemy's first attack, they were no longer able to provide any fire support.
Compared with these, the surviving soldiers on the Japanese warships that have not yet been sunk are praying that the buzzing bomber group is not directed at them.
In less than three minutes, the sounds of those bombers and fighter jets were like thundering war drums, repeatedly hammering their eardrums and even their hearts. Under the pressure of this huge sound, the beating rhythm also stopped. Faster than before.
At this moment, the reconnaissance plane flying in front suddenly lowered its flying altitude and faced the Japanese positions and important buildings in the port.Objects, marker bombs were thrown down.
More than a dozen reconnaissance planes flew at low altitude and high speed, and then dropped marker bombs to guide the bomber group behind them for bombing.
The bomber group at the rear was searching the ground for the smoke screen released by the marker bombs.
These smoke screens can lead them to bombing.
"The location of the marker bomb has been found and can be bombed."
The pilot in flight said on the intercom.
"Bomb immediately."
The commander of the flight formation gave the order decisively.
Their bombers were at a high altitude and began to drop petrol bombs and incendiary bombs at the predetermined area.
Countless bombs roared towards the Japanese positions below and the marked buildings in the port the moment the magazine was opened.
They have gone through a long period of training and combat, and now their throwing accuracy has been greatly improved compared to before.
Nowadays, aerial bombs, incendiary bombs, etc. that are thrown down can basically be determined to be no more than fifty meters away from the location of the marker bomb.
It is already very difficult to maintain such bombing accuracy at an altitude of hundreds of meters.
The sound of bombs rubbing against the air sounded to the Japanese army like the shrill wail of a ghost.
Now, these evil spirits are flying towards them in the darkness, demanding their lives.
"The enemy is bombing, be careful to hide!!!"
The Japanese commander yelled and ran towards the air raid shelter or bomb crater with his soldiers.
But at this moment, napalm bombs and incendiary bombs had already fallen to the ground.
The moment these bombs hit the ground, blood-like flames bloomed in the darkness in an instant.
With the explosion of the gasoline bomb, there is high temperature, fierce flames, and a "whooshing" sound similar to the sound of a bellows blowing when the flames dance wildly.
There is also greasy, burning napalm, which splashes everywhere like magma ejected from a volcano the moment it explodes.
At this moment of the night, it was as if the black skin was split open with a long knife, revealing the red flesh hidden inside.
The loud noise caused by the explosion was like a mountain roar and a tsunami magnified countless times, hitting the soldiers' eardrums, bodies, and even shaking their internal organs and souls. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
