    The seaside fortress of Yecheng suffered multiple violent bombings and shellings more than three months ago. The mountainous vegetation on the seaside that stretches for more than ten kilometers suffered serious damage, and many places became bare!

    At this time, the originally sparse vegetation was once again indiscriminately bombarded by the Japanese aircraft, and became increasingly sparse, revealing large swathes of dark mountains.

    Permanent fortifications such as forts, bunkers, and trenches that were previously hidden in the green vegetation have revealed their hideous features as the vegetation has been destroyed and burned!

    Boom boom boom, the Japanese planes were running wild in the sky, and the fortress's anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were firing on all cylinders, unleashing a crazy metal storm, giving the Japanese army extremely heavy pressure and damage.

    The brief but fierce air defense battle lasted only seven or eight minutes. Despite the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese aircraft fleet, the fortress air defense force fired no less than 2,500 rounds of anti-aircraft artillery shells and more than 7,000 rounds of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets.

    At the cost of more than ten lives, five anti-aircraft guns, and four anti-aircraft machine guns, the heroic and tenacious Huben Army air defense company destroyed 8 Japanese bombers in total, and more than ten bombers fled in panic after being damaged to varying degrees!

    "Yo Xi, the Imperial Air Force has dealt a serious blow to the Chinese army, and now it is the Japanese Army's turn to complete the final blow!"

    After the Air Force bombers completed their bombing mission and began to return, Captain Ono Kazuma of the 7th Wing of the 6th Brigade of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army put down his telescope, nodded to a Japanese communications staff officer next to him and said: "Give me the order, start  Attack! The first attack target is Highland 264!"

    The Ninth Division, also known as the Kanazawa Division, is a Category A division of the old Japanese Imperial Army and one of the six new divisions added in 1898 after the Sino-Japanese War.

    Since the establishment of the force, from the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War to World War II, this force has been fighting on the front line.  It was one of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II. It was well-equipped and its combat effectiveness was second only to the Second Division and the Sixth Division.

    He often fought vicious and tough battles in the war, and he and the 18th Division were considered to be twins within the Army.  The division participated in the atrocities of the Nanking Massacre in violation of the Geneva Conventions.

    Umezu Yoshijiro classified the 9th Division as a division directly under the Myanmar Expeditionary Forces General Headquarters and was responsible for garrisoning Tatfu, where the General Headquarters is stationed.

    "The so-called three things for a new official to take office. After arriving in the Myanmar war zone, the high-spirited Umezu Yoshijiro was shocked to find that there was a lone Chinese seaside fortress standing proudly in the area occupied by the imperial army in southern Myanmar.

    Umezu Yoshijiro¡¯s first thought was to pull out this nail and use this seaside fortress that was extremely dazzling on the map to sacrifice the flag.

    Although Umezu Yoshijiro was eager to open up the scene and establish his prestige, he was not stupid. He did not send a team to attack rashly, but sent ground and aerial reconnaissance troops to conduct a detailed investigation!

    After receiving detailed information, Umezu Meijiro discovered that this fortress was not simple, and it was a hard nut to crack.

    However, since the big words had been spoken before, Umezu Yoshijiro naturally would not slap himself in the face, so after conducting several military flag drills, he transferred an infantry regiment and a mountain artillery regiment from the 9th Division directly under the division.  , and dispatched a tank brigade to support it.

    After some very careful arrangements and deployment, the 7th Japanese Infantry Regiment finally arrived at Lemay near Yecheng, and officially launched a general attack on the seaside fortress of Yecheng early this morning.

    "Hai!"

    The Japanese communications staff officer gave orders.

    Soon, four squadrons of Japanese soldiers, led by more than 20 Type 97 tanks, launched an attack on Highland 264 in the northernmost part of the Yecheng seaside fortress.

    It has to be said that the Japanese have indeed put in a lot of effort and have thoroughly studied the defense system and weaknesses of the Yecheng seaside fortress.

    Yecheng Seaside Fortress was built along the seaside and mountains along the coastline. The entire fortress runs in a north-south direction, with the sea to the west and an open plain area to the east.

    Therefore, it is not advisable to attack from the east or west. Either you will not be able to attack, or you will suffer the maximum artillery attack and frontal fire net.

    Only by slowly gnawing from the north and south ends can we maximize the geographical advantage of the seaside fortress and minimize the fire interception from the fortress turret.

    Highland 264 is the main position of the 1st Battalion and Company of the 7th Regiment. Knowing that the Japanese troops would definitely attack here first, battalion commander Wan Lianqing came to Highland 264 early to take charge.

    "The little devil is finally here, brothers, prepare to fight!"

    When the Japanese bombers began to return, Wan Lianqing hurriedly got out of the bunker inside the mountain and came to an observation post.

      Sure enough, as inferred before, the first target of the Japanese attack was the first company position.

    Seeing the Japanese infantry coming at them fiercely, led by dozens of tanks, Wan Lianqing was not surprised but overjoyed and immediately ordered: "All artillery positions, if you take aim, hit me hard! Let the brothers in the first platoon fight hard."  , report any situation as soon as possible!"

    "yes!"

    The communications soldier standing next to Wan Lianqing responded immediately, then picked up the walkie-talkie and began to convey the order.

    "The target has entered the effective range, the distance is 5805 meters, the bearing is northeast by north and south, the wind speed is 13, the wind direction is northwest by north! A test launch!

    ??Repeat, the distance is 5,805 meters, the bearing is two degrees northeast by north and south, the wind speed is 13, and the wind direction is northwest by north!  A test shot!  "

    "The shell hits the right spot, fire immediately, five rounds of rapid fire! Hurry!"

    Soon, after a round of test firing, a dozen or so artillery pieces on Highland 264 and the small highland in front opened fire, letting out a continuous thundering roar. Shells were sprayed out for free, streaking in the mid-air.  There were light white bullet marks.

    Boom boom boom, in a moment the shells fell to the ground and exploded, blasting black clouds of gunpowder smoke into the sky along the path of the Japanese, and blasting shocking deep craters.

    The Japanese soldiers were constantly blown away, blown to pieces, and gutted by shrapnel shooting from all directions. Even several Japanese Type 97 vehicles suffered heavy damage.

    However, the Japanese soldiers did not panic or retreat. Instead, they rushed towards the mountain fortress in front of them with ferocity and madness.

    Although the artillery shells were powerful, due to the tricky attack angle chosen by the Japanese, the rear fortress forts were unable to exert sufficient power due to the obstruction of Highland 264.

    The Japanese troops pushed forward despite the artillery fire. After running wildly for more than half an hour and paying many lives, the Japanese tanks rushed into the gentle slope less than a kilometer away from the forward position.

    After entering the undulating gentle slope area, the pressure on the Japanese infantry was greatly reduced instantly, because they were no longer completely exposed to the explosion radius of the artillery, and could rely on the undulating mountains to avoid artillery shells.

    "Bagaya Road! Damn the Chinese soldiers, your death has come!"

    Japanese frontline commander Kase Aoi followed a tank and finally rushed to the foot of the gentle slope alive. After finding a bunker, he waved his command knife and shouted: "Assault! Kill all these Chinese soldiers!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel  .com
