Devil's Army

When the Japanese Marines were landing in landing craft and assault boats, a Golden Eagle III aircraft, which had been watching the movements of the Japanese army from high above the Japanese warships, immediately passed the information to the rear.

Soon, a round of fierce artillery shells flew over from Haikou City and landed around the Japanese Marines who were landing on the beach.

Some landing craft and assault boats of the Japanese Marine Corps were blown over. Captain Sado immediately ordered the ship's guns to launch a counterattack on the artillery positions of the Devil's Forces.

But the artillery of the regiment only fired two salvos and then moved away. The Japanese naval guns hit nothing.

Subsequently, the surviving Japanese Marines began to land on the beach.

At this time, fierce gunfire was heard from the Haikou Port Terminal.

It turned out that when a regiment commander saw the Japanese army starting to land, he immediately ordered a battalion commander to arrange a company to enter the port dock to block them.

The Japanese Marines were caught off guard by the sudden attack.

Soon, the Japanese landing craft and assault boats forced a landing on the beach.

The Japanese soldiers on the boat also fiercely fought back at the soldiers of the First Army on the port dock.

The Japanese warships and naval guns also fiercely bombarded the incomplete positions of the first company. However, this time the first company did not retreat, but resisted the Japanese artillery fire to block the Japanese landing.

Because the best time to launch a blocking attack is when the Japanese army lands.

The first company suffered heavy casualties under the attack of Japanese warships and marines, but they did not retreat.

At this time, more than 40 fighters and bombers from the 4th Aviation Squadron of the First Army's Lingshui Airport on Hainan Island and Sanya Airport arrived one after another and launched a fierce bombing on the Japanese fleet.

These more than forty planes did not pose much threat to the Japanese fleet.

The Japanese warships opened their anti-aircraft firepower at full capacity, forming an impenetrable anti-aircraft firepower network.

The pilots of the Fourth Air Group rushed into the anti-aircraft fire network of the Japanese warships like moths to a flame, bombing and strafing the Japanese warships fiercely. However, from time to time, some planes were hit and crashed.

At this time, the old Xiuying Fort and the Beigang Island coastal defense artillery quietly returned to their positions and launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese warships.

The Japanese warships gave up bombing the positions of the first company at the Haikou port dock and turned to bombing the coastal defense positions of the first army.

The company, whose firepower suddenly decreased, used even more fierce fire knives to block the landing Japanese Marines.

The Japanese troops who had not yet had time to land were shot and fell into the sea.

Two Japanese landing craft landed successfully, and the Japanese soldiers on the craft waded into the water and launched a fierce attack on the company's position.

Although the company, which had suffered more than half of its casualties, stubbornly resisted the Japanese landing, its firepower had been greatly reduced, and the Japanese landing craft and assault boats continued to land one after another.

The regiment commander discovered the danger of the first company from the intelligence sent by the golden eagle, and immediately asked the battalion commander to arrange for the second company to reinforce.

At the same time, the artillery that had already moved its positions was ordered to bombard the landing Japanese troops.

The Japanese troops that had already landed were bombarded by a regiment of artillery, and the momentum of the offensive was sharply reduced.

Captain Sadojiro immediately arranged a fleet to suppress the firepower of the regiment.

The Japanese Marines who had already landed were already short of manpower and had to find cover to attack the port dock.

The remaining landing craft and assault boats quickly returned to the warship to pick up more Marines for landing.

An artillery regiment that had no time to retreat was suddenly met with a fierce counterattack from Japanese naval guns, and two 75mm mountain guns were destroyed immediately.

The artillery quickly hung the remaining artillery on the trucks that had not been turned off and moved their position.
