Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

In the early morning of June 1943, 6, the Baotou Military Region quickly advanced into the territory of Manchukuo under the cover of darkness.

On the banks of the Heilongjiang River, with the help of the Songhua River and the river defense fleet, the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces Training Brigade began to force a crossing of the Heilongjiang River.

The Eighth Route Army's vanguards also appeared in Shanhaiguan and Chengde. At the Port of Tianjin, all kinds of fishing boats were crowded in the port.

The Weihaiwei Fleet, which had just revolted, and the four captured Japanese warships formed an escort formation, ready to go.

Next to the fleet, there were three large wooden ships that were built in a hurry.

These ships were similar to the large cruise ships of later generations, but instead of containers, they were loaded with hundreds of rocket launch tubes lined up side by side.

"set off!"

Looking at his watch, the naval commander issued the combat order without hesitation.

The soldiers lined up one by one and boarded the fishing boat. The escort formation, under the command of the Navy Chief Instructor Ichiro Tengda, left the port and headed towards Port Arthur.

"Don't be nervous, everyone."

Ichiro Tengda stood at the bow of the ship: "Although the Port Arthur Fortress is notoriously difficult to attack."

"Back then, we also deployed 13 troops, which took 135 days and 5.9 casualties to capture the Port Arthur Fortress, but you were lucky."

"Because of the Pacific War, the garrison of Port Arthur Fortress only has more than 20,000 troops, and there are only a few torpedo boats in the port, which pose no threat to us at all."

"As long as you fight bravely under my command, you will be able to capture the Port Arthur Fortress at the lowest cost."

Listening to Ichiro Tengda's encouragement to the naval cadets, Instructor Murai on the side curled his lips and said, "You just brag!"

"Captain Teng Tianjun has gone too far. If he really lets the Chinese naval cadets break into the Port Arthur Fortress this time, our future will be difficult!"

A former member of the Tianjin garrison came to Murai and whispered.

"You thought I didn't guess?"

Murai gave a mysterious smile.

Long before the war broke out, he presented Commander Xiao with a detailed report on their capture of Port Arthur.

He also proposed a strategy of landing in Dalian Bay and launching an attack from the side and rear of Port Arthur. No matter how Ichiro Tengda fought this time, he made a contribution to it.

"Five, four, three, two, one, fire!"

Just half an hour after the escort fleet left Tianjin Port, a series of digital sounds were heard in the Caofeilong Island Coastal Defense Base.

“Squeak….”

Two P-2 missiles broke away from the launch pad with flames and flew towards the Liaodong Peninsula.

After flying for a short time, one missile began to fly towards the Lushun Fortress and the Laohengshan Fortress fortification area, and the other continued to fly for a while before falling down.

"Bang, bang..."

Two loud bangs were heard, and the front fortress of Lushun was completely destroyed, and the Japanese headquarters on the Liaodong Peninsula was destroyed.

"My goodness!"

On the bow of the ship, Ichiro Tengda held up a telescope, looking at the explosions coming from Port Arthur not far away, and the flames rising into the sky, and was slightly distracted.

Is this the weapon that defeated us?

Has the Port Arthur Fortress been taken down now?

Behind him, although Murai didn't have a telescope, he could see and hear the huge explosion and fire even without a telescope.

"It's not unfair that we lost!"

Murai sighed and made up his mind.

"Boost!"

I don’t know if he had made up his mind like Murai, but Ichiro Tengda put down the telescope, came to the cab and shouted loudly.

"Commander Xiao has cleared the way for us. The Japanese troops in Lushun Fortress must be in a panic. As soon as we arrive, they will definitely surrender."

Under the command of Ichiro Tengda, the escort fleet began to speed up and soon arrived at the defense range of Port Arthur.

Just as Ichiro Tengda guessed, even though several artillery batteries were not destroyed, the destruction of the front fortress was a huge blow to the Japanese troops on the island.

Even though they saw warships approaching in the darkness, the several artillery batteries remained silent and motionless.

Or did the Japanese soldiers in the artillery position run to the front fortress to try to figure out what was happening?

A moment later the warship approached Dalian Bay and the marines began to land.

“The time to achieve success is now!”

"I'm going to your mother!"

Ichiro Tengda originally wanted to shout a few slogans to encourage everyone's enthusiasm, but he was kicked into the sea by Murai behind him without paying attention.

"Comrades, follow me!"

Murai raised a Type 38 rifle and rushed to the island with the former members of the Tianjin garrison.

"Baga, your..."

"Sigh, die for me!"

Murai stabbed to death a Japanese soldier who was on patrol at night and had not yet figured out the situation with a bayonet.

"Comrades, charge!"

Murai kicked the corpse off the bayonet and continued to lead the charge forward.

"Hiss~~~ Instructor, this is not right!"

The deputy captain of the Weihaiwei Fleet, which was responsible for protecting the warships and covering the landing of the Marines in the rear, took a breath when he saw Murai killing everyone in the sight of the warship's searchlight and leading the way.

“Is this really Japanese?”

"How can you kill your own people so cruelly?"

"Haha, it's just the fanaticism of a convert!"

Zheng Daoji smiled and raised his telescope to observe the surrounding situation: "Send a telegram to Commander Xiao, the fishing boat can come over."

"Yes."

"Tell the fishing boats that they can move."

"Qinhuangdao's airborne brigade will take off at daybreak!"

Commander Xiao, who received the telegram, gave orders quickly.

At six o'clock in the morning, when the sky was just getting light, a sharp alarm sounded in the newly built airport in Qinhuangdao.

One after another, the Taihang-1 transport aircraft and the Zhongyun-1 transport aircraft were ready to take off.

"Quick, quick, move fast!"

Zhang Wuli, the former commander of the Airborne Regiment of the Motorized Infantry Brigade and now the commander of the Airborne Division, stood at the boarding gate of the transport plane and kept urging the soldiers to board.

Twenty minutes later, all the officers and soldiers of the airborne division had boarded the plane, and the transport plane began to taxi one after another, flying towards the Liaodong Peninsula.

"Remember, this mission is very simple."

In the transport plane, Zhang Wuli used the transport plane's radio to preach again to several commanders of the airborne division.

"The first and second regiments landed in Gaizhou City, and the third and fourth regiments landed in Zhuanghe City."

"Gather together after landing, then attack the city. Remember, if you can't take it, don't force it, and be sure to call for support."

"We don't have much else now, but we have a lot of planes. The headquarters can dispatch bombers from Qinhuangdao to support us at any time."

"Commander Zhang, we have arrived at Gaizhou City."

At this time, the navigator's voice came.

Zhang Wuli's heart trembled: "Open the hatch and do it according to the training!"

As the first soldier jumped, a white parachute opened.

White umbrellas began to appear in the sky, and the entire sky seemed to be covered.
