Devil's Army

Chapter 1687: The Attack on Dalian is Hindered

Under the special care of the Army Aviation Corps and the First Army Air Force, the Japanese flagship "Izumo" armored cruiser has been badly damaged.

Commander Yoshida, escorted by guards, boarded a landing craft and sailed towards Dalian Port.

The Golden Eagle 5 UAVs of the st and rd Squadrons of the Army Aviation also discovered the Japanese landing craft, but unfortunately all their cruise missiles had been used up and they could only worry.

A fighter plane from the First Army flew over and strafed the landing craft fiercely.

The Japanese army drove landing craft, quickly moving through machine gun fire.

After the fighter planes of the First Army flew away, another bomber of the First Army also flew over and dropped two bombs on the landing craft.

The huge waves caused by the successive explosions of bombs almost overturned the landing craft.

With the guards' life-threatening protection, Commander Yoshida finally managed to reach the shore.

The Marines who had been waiting on the shore rushed forward and protected Commander Yoshida in the middle.

Commander Yoshida took a last look at his armored cruiser Izumo.

By this time, the ship was listing severely to port, and before the fire on board was extinguished, two more bombs landed on the bridge and bow deck.

The sinking of this armored cruiser was already beyond saving.

Commander Yoshida left the dock sadly.

At this time, the guards discovered a fighter plane roaring towards them and quickly pushed Commander Yoshida into a warehouse next to the dock.

The fighter plane's machine gun fired violently, and the guards and marines at the warehouse door shook continuously as if they had been electrocuted.

After the fighter jets flew over, the trembling guards and marines fell like a puddle of mud at the door of the warehouse.

The air force, which served as the main force in attacking the Japanese fleet, was still bombing Japanese warships in wave after wave.

As more and more anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were destroyed, the Japanese warships' counterattacks became weaker and weaker.

The First Army's fighter planes were running out of ammunition, and the air force began to return one after another.

The Japanese warships finally had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment, its flagship, the armored cruiser Izumo, sank to the bottom of the Yellow Sea amidst a series of rumbling sounds.

The sinking of the flagship "Izumo" was a great psychological blow to the officers and soldiers of the Japanese fleet.

The center of Dalian was currently safe. The three attacking demonic forces were blocked by Imperial soldiers outside the city.

The three-pronged attacks of the 1st and 3rd Brigades did not go smoothly, just as Commander Yoshida had learned from the intelligence.

The Fengtian Air Force and the Jinzhou Air Force were both fully focused on attacking the Japanese warships in Dalian and had no way to support the attacks of the 3rd and 1st Brigades.

The Japanese army held various fortresses and blocked the attacks of the 3rd and 1st Brigades from a high position.

The bombardment by the artillery of the 3rd and 1st Brigades was not intense enough to completely destroy the Japanese defenses, and the infantry suffered heavy casualties.

The brigade commander received intelligence that the Japanese troops stationed in Dalian at the time were the Kwantung Army's Manchurian Division and the Independent Garrison Battalion, as well as some Marines, totaling over 4 troops.

The total strength of their First and Third Brigades had just captured Anshan City, Yingkou City, and Andong City. The troops had no time to replenish their forces, and now their strength does not exceed people.

With this kind of fighting style, their troops were exhausted before they even reached the city of Dalian.

The commander of the first brigade decisively stopped the three-pronged attack of the first and third brigades, waiting for the reinforcements arranged by Leng Feng on the one hand, and waiting for reinforcements from the air force on the other.
