More than a dozen rockets exploded on the landing ship, and more than 200 Japanese soldiers on it were blown away instantly, and some were seriously injured.

They originally came to occupy the island city, but they didn't even touch the land of the island city and all the people were gone.

But the other soldiers had no time to treat them. Time was of the essence. Didn't they see the commander didn't even want the transport ship? So they quickly stepped over their injured comrades and climbed down quickly using the ladder.

The battle on the shore was very fierce. The Japanese Marines were still very elite. Although they were not numerous, they rushed forward fearlessly. Their comrades kept falling around them, but these people didn't even look at them. They knew that the mission was heavy and they had to occupy the airport before the planes could take off.

Even if we cannot occupy the airport, we must blow up the runway and never let the 72nd Division's planes take off.

So after these people arrived at the shore, although their clothes were still wet, they had no time to tidy them up and had to move quickly towards the airport.

After hearing about the situation at the seaside, Li Shaoyi was immediately delighted. These Japanese were really ruthless. The transport ship stranded here would be ours as soon as we towed it out with our warships.

"Can the airport be defended?"

Li Shaoyi suddenly said this, and Ma Leizi laughed.

"Brother, apart from the airport garrison, every member of your security regiment is a top soldier. There are more than 4,000 people in the two regiments right now, and there are only 6,000 Japanese soldiers. I don't think there will be enough for them to share. If you hadn't told them to go ashore, these guys would have been fed to turtles in the sea."

If Ma Leizi hadn't cared about Li Shaoyi's safety, why would he stay here? He had already taken his men to the airport, which was the busiest place tonight.

Unlike the first batch of spy attacks, the second batch of more than 5,000 Marines have real combat capabilities. At this moment, they are rushing towards the island city airport in battalions, but they are attacked from time to time along the way. We have too many artillery units in the surrounding area, and in order to paralyze you, we did not bombard the beachhead position just now.

But now we are on the way to the airport, so I'm sorry to both of you. You are singing and I am coming one after another. There are more than a hundred artillery pieces over 100 mm, plus 80 mm and 60 mm mortars. I don't know how many artillery pieces there are around. When we get such an opportunity, those artillerymen just have to work hard.

The Japanese army felt like the artillery shells were raining from the sky. From the moment they stepped out of the beachhead, the explosions around them never stopped. No matter where they ran, it seemed as if the enemy's artillery positions were endless.

In addition, armored convoys often rushed out from both sides, mainly two heavy armored vehicles, followed by jeeps. These vehicles would fire for a while and then retreat immediately. The Marines did not carry heavy weapons and could only rely on soldiers rushing forward with grenades, but they would not give you this opportunity at all. After killing or injuring dozens or even hundreds of people, they would immediately step on the accelerator and slip away.

When these people came up from the sea, their clothes were all wet. Running forward while dragging wet clothes consumed more than twice the usual effort, so they no longer had much strength left.

Do you expect to catch up with the armored vehicle in this state?

Unless everyone has wheels on their feet, and they have to be electrically powered, we can only pursue it in our dreams.

The commander of the Japanese Marine Corps also discovered that as they walked inward from the beachhead, people fell down almost every meter. These people might have set a trap to make us think that our combat power was strong enough to win the beachhead and then attack the airport.

If he had a choice, he really wanted to retreat with his men, but he knew that this was impossible. All the landing ships had run aground. It was like burning their boats. They could only capture the island city. If they failed, everyone would die here.

The dawn finally came in the sky, and the sky in the east was already turning white. However, the combat aircraft on the aircraft carrier still could not take off. But at the airport, it was possible. The airport's lights illuminated the runway very brightly, and the conditions for takeoff were met. Although we might not find the Japanese warships in the sky, we could hover over them. Every minute was bright, and we must seize the opportunity.

As the first plane took off, subsequent planes followed one after another. The attacking Japanese Marines saw the light of the airport in the distance and immediately sent a telegram to Commander Kamimura.

"Our plane is taking off too."

Although the current conditions do not allow it, Commander Kamimura can no longer wait any longer. Even if something dangerous happens, he must do it now.

The Japanese naval aviation also understood that now was the time to serve the empire. Just because something had not been done before did not mean it could not be done now, so all the lights on the aircraft carrier were turned on to illuminate the way forward for these planes.

The two bombers circling in the sky saw the lights of the aircraft carrier on the sea suddenly turned on, and dived down without any instructions. This was a great opportunity. If they had to rely on instructions to fight, they would probably have lost all the opportunities.

With the intuition of an old navy officer, Commander Kamimura had sensed that there must be dive bombers above them.

"Fire above us."

If this order could have been issued earlier, it might have had a certain deterrent effect, but when he shouted this, the searchlight that was turned upwards could already see the outline of the plane in the sky.

Commander Kamimura's face was filled with fear. He couldn't believe that all this was true. The two planes came down under the moonlight, and the entire sea was pitch black. Only the lights on the fleet's side were on. In order to allow the planes on the warships to take off earlier, wouldn't they become sitting ducks in the sea?

Two bombs hit the front and rear panels one after the other. A Japanese plane was sprinting and suddenly flew into the big hole that was blown up.

"Left front."

The air defense commander shouted, and several searchlights began to shine towards the front left, where planes appeared again.

"Turn off all the lights."

Commander Kamimura found the key to the problem...
