Just as Yang Chen led the Huben Regiment and the Japanese 10th and 20th Divisions to confront each other in Taierzhuang, they transported the naval transport fleet of the Japanese 114th Division and a special fleet of the 1st Fleet from Qingdao. mixed fleet.
Finally arrived in Lianyungang waters, after some planning.
The Japanese army decided to land at night, when the defenders of Lianyungang were most tired from defense and most distracted.
That was the night when the Huben Regiment officially took over the defense of Taierzhuang.
On this day, as the follow-up troops of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army arrived one after another, Fumisaburo Kawagishi, who became furious, continued to lead his troops to attack Taierzhuang.
Continuous strategic bombing was carried out on the field positions guarded by the Huben Regiment and the urban area of Taierzhuang.
However, although the Japanese army's offensive was fierce, they were all repelled one by one by Yang Chen's command of the Huben Regiment.
The two sides fought bloody for a day, and the outcome was still undecided.
All the urban areas are still in the hands of the Huben Group, and not an inch of land has been lost.
At night, since the air force cannot give it air fire support, the threat of field artillery will also be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the devils did not attack again, but began to take a short rest in order to recover their physical strength and energy.
After all, the continuous raids and battles consume a huge amount of mental and physical energy for the little devil.
The fighting in Taierzhuang declared a temporary cessation.
At that time, all the main forces of the Fifth Theater of the National Army were deployed along the Jinpu Railway, and Lianyungang only had a local security regiment and several police gendarmerie units stationed in the city.
The total strength is no more than 2000, let alone a sneak attack, even a head-on confrontation.
These 2000 local miscellaneous troops cannot be the opponent of the Japanese elite 114th Division.
The reason why the devils chose to land at night was just to catch the defenders off guard and resolve the battle as quickly as possible.
You can directly attack Xuzhou overnight and carry out a beheading surprise attack on the fifth theater.
Thus directly ending the entire Xuzhou battle and winning this battle.
Once the devil's move is achieved, the entire Jinpu Railway will be completely opened up by the Japanese army and occupied and controlled.
The Japanese army could march westward along the Longhai Railway and capture important cities in the Central Plains such as Zhengzhou and Luoyang.
Then it was able to continue along the Ping-Han Railway {from Beiping to Wuhan}, and directly sent troops to attack the three towns of Wuhan.
So as to achieve its strategic goal of destroying the whole of China, and then realizing the prosperity of the entire Greater East Asia.
That night.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, in the direction of Linhai Wharf in Lianyungang.
A large number of Japanese troops boarded landing ships and rubber boats, etc., and were quietly approaching the dock under the cover of night.
It was late at night, and it was cold and windy.
The hundreds of defenders on the pier, except for a few patrols who were listlessly standing guard and patrolling, most of the rest were sleeping soundly in the warm barracks.
It's not that their vigilance is low, but that no one thought that at this time, the devils would attack Lianyungang by sea.
Don't say that these no-name defenders are unexpected.
In fact, even Li Delin and others are from the warlords of the old era, and they lack sufficient understanding of modernization and the joint cooperation of land, sea and air.
As for Yang Chen, he is now just a small head of the regiment, and it is one aspect of not being in his position to do nothing about his affairs.
On the other hand, his status is limited, and the intelligence he has access to is also very limited.
For example, information on the distribution and dispatch of all the important main divisions of the Japanese army on the North China and Central China battlefields.
It was all on the desk of the staff room of Jun shi wěi yuán hui headed by the chairman.
Therefore, even if Yang Chen was a traverser, he couldn't have expected this.
After all, even with the addition of the system, he is just a mortal, not a god who can predict the future and everything.
Therefore, the devil's surprise attack on landing from the sea this time was beyond everyone's expectations.
When the landing ship was about to dock, dozens of warships, large and small, were responsible for covering the landing of the 114th Division on the distant sea, and suddenly the firepower opened up.
Hundreds of naval guns, large and small, fired one after another.
All of a sudden, a hundred guns fired together, and powerful shells rose into the sky.
Cutting through the pitch-black night sky, the tiger roared towards the pier.
The tranquility of the night was also completely broken this time.
"boom!"
"Boom boom boom!—"
As loud bangs spread, the tranquility of the night was completely broken at this moment.
Groups of dazzling red lights suddenly rose from the ground, illuminating half of the sky.
The entire pier instantly turned into a sea of flames, and the barracks on the pier were directly razed to the ground.
The hundreds of defenders inside were still asleep, and they died one after another.
The devil's landing troops also opened fire one after another, and light and heavy machine guns fired a large number of dense hot bullets.
The soldiers who were patrolling and standing guard by the sea were shot and killed one after another.
"Kill the chicken!"
"Kill the chicken!"
Then, under the command of a group of devil officers, the landing ships suddenly accelerated and approached the shore.
Thousands of ghost soldiers jumped down from the deck and the cabin of the landing ship.
Wading in waist-deep sea water, rushing towards the pier.
Under the cover of the powerful firepower of naval guns, the Japanese soldiers of the 114th Division successfully landed from Haizhou Bay with little effort.
Two hours later, the 114th Infantry Regiment of the 127th Brigade, the first landing force of the 65th Division, succeeded in a surprise attack on Lianyungang.
At this time, the other three main field regiments of the 114th Division had already bypassed Lianyungang under the cover of night, long before the 65th Infantry Regiment launched an attack on Lianyungang.
Advance westward along the Longhai railway line and take Xuzhou directly.
