Devil's Army

After destroying the Japanese surface defenses at Tumen Port, the cruiser Lianyungang began its amphibious assault.

When the Japanese troops defending Tumen Port saw the Devil Forces begin their beach landing, they quickly lay down in their collapsed fortifications and fiercely resisted.

The main and secondary guns of the cruiser Lianyungang carried out targeted elimination of the Japanese machine gun and artillery positions at Tumen Port.

The Japanese light and heavy machine guns and Type 92 infantry guns at Tumen Port were repeatedly blown away by the naval guns of the cruiser Lianyungang.

Subsequently, the vanguard of the 1st Regiment of the 15th Brigade quickly landed on the beach in assault boats.

Due to the limited number of assault boats, only two companies of troops were transported to the beachhead in the first batch.

The two companies at the forefront quickly occupied advantageous positions on the beachhead and fiercely fired at the Japanese troops in their fortifications.

The assault boats quickly returned to the cruiser Lianyungang to transport the next troops.

With the strong support of naval guns, the two companies of the vanguard quickly gained a foothold on the beachhead and advanced into the rear.

Under the combined bombardment of the Qingdao Fleet's naval guns and carrier-based aircraft, the Japanese forces at Tumen Port were utterly powerless to retaliate and retreated step by step.

The first and second companies quickly consolidated their beachhead positions to prevent a Japanese counterattack.

The follow-up troops of the regiment successively rushed onto the beachhead by assault boats.

Upon hearing that the "Devil Force" fleet had landed at Tumen Port, the Japanese division commander ordered his soldiers to accelerate their attack on Hunchun County.

Once Hunchun County, Tumen County, Yanji County, and Longjing County are occupied, they can be connected and support each other.

However, although the 15th Brigade had not yet arrived in Hunchun County, the carrier-based aircraft of the Qingdao aircraft carrier arrived.

As soon as the carrier-based aircraft arrived over Hunchun County, they immediately launched a fierce bombing and strafing attack on the Japanese troops in Yanji County, Longjing County, and the direction of Shuiliufeng.

Under the almost frenzied attack of the Japanese army, the regiments of the 7th Brigade and the 1st Parachute Battalion felt immense pressure.

Unexpectedly, their carrier-based aircraft suddenly appeared overhead and launched a fierce bombing and strafing attack on the Japanese forces. This disrupted the Japanese offensive plan and rendered their blocking battle ineffective.

No sooner had the first wave of carrier-based aircraft from the Qingdao aircraft carrier finished their bombing run than the second wave followed.

The various Japanese forces were bombed so badly by the carrier-based aircraft of the First Army that they had to stop their offensive and take shelter from the air raids.

The girls in the fortress complex cheered with joy when they saw their carrier-based planes bombing the Japanese.

When the soldiers of the 7th Brigade and the members of the 1st Parachute Battalion saw that the Japanese army was being heavily bombed by their carrier-based aircraft and their attack was being thwarted, they excitedly threw their hats into the air.

The various units of the 15th Brigade landed successively at Tumen Port and approached Hunchun.

The carrier-based aircraft on the Qingdao aircraft carrier launched wave after wave of fierce bombing and strafing attacks on various Japanese forces, thwarting the Japanese strategic attempt to quickly occupy Hunchun County and connect the surrounding counties and towns.

At this point, the division commander had a premonition that they would be defeated. However, based on the intelligence he had obtained, the number of warships of the "Devil Force" that arrived at Tumen Port this time was only ten, and given the transport capacity of the warships, the number of "Devil Force" troops arriving at Tumen Port this time would not exceed one brigade.

They still have an absolute advantage in troop strength, and there should be another battle.

The Japanese division commander's estimate was correct; only the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 15th Brigade had arrived at Tumen Port. The remaining troops of the 15th Brigade were en route to Tumen Port aboard warships from the Dalian Fleet and were expected to arrive within the next two days.
