Chapter 1675 The Gap
When the Japanese were fighting among themselves, the Sixth Xue Brigade supported by Chu Tiange rushed to Vung Tau under the leadership of brigade commander Mao Xiangnan.After arriving in Vung Tau, Mao Xiangnan did not rush to pull the large troops up, but first took the guard battalion to the front line to check the situation.When he got there, he exchanged views with Chen Zhong and Emmons, but he couldn't understand what kind of medicine the Japanese sold in the gourd, so he decided to stand still and let the Emmons brigade and Chen Zhong brigade defend the front line.

As soon as Mao Xiangnan withdrew from the front line, the second round of Japanese attacks began.

After the blind command just now, being scolded by Ono for the last time one after another, being forced into the palace by Nakanishi and others, Yamada's definition of a pig's head finally opened up.After learning the lesson, he and Ono boarded the landing craft and went to the front line with the landing troops to command.In order to test Mr. Koizumi's cooperative combat capability, Ono also spent all his capital and sent out all the remaining marines.If you count the Chinese and Western group of defeated soldiers, the total number reached more than [-] people.

More than 3000 landing craft, large and small, rushed towards Vung Tau Beach under the escort of more than [-] fighter planes. When they were [-] meters away from the coastal fortifications, dozens of iron-shell landing assault boats were put into the water. Just when a large group of devils with surplus began to board the boat, the muffled sound of cannon firing sounded in the distance, and the preparations for artillery fire by the little devils began.

The little devil has gained a lot of wisdom and perfected coordinated operations, and the defenders have also absorbed experience and lessons.At this time, the main defenders of the two regiments had withdrawn to the third line of defense, and only placed a lookout post about the size of a platoon on the first line of defense.

About 10 minutes into the bombardment, Ono gave an order to attack. Immediately, the motors of dozens of iron-hulled assault boats screamed, drawing a beautiful water line and charging towards the beach.

When Ono gave the order to attack, Yamada picked up the phone and ordered the air force in the air: "Perform the final correction of the impact point, and the shooting accuracy must be controlled within 50 meters. Yes, 50 meters!"

The Japanese marines had just started to rush to the beach, and several small flags were erected and swayed from side to side on the first fragmented position of the defenders.Emmons and Chen Zhong's pre-war headquarters have been put together, and the two exchanged views. Emmons said, "This kind of artillery density, it is impossible to rush up! What should I do?"

Cao Bixiao said from the side: "Young devil's shelling is much more accurate than before! The first and second lines of defense have to be given up!"

Chen Zhong looked up to the sky and said, "Not only the first two lines of defense must be abandoned, but the third line of defense must also be abandoned. Devil fighter planes are circling overhead, and we will definitely be bombed if we show up! Now, we can only ask Brigadier Mao provided artillery support."

Emmons: "But the Japanese army has aviation. Once the artillery is exposed, it will definitely be bombed!"

Chen Zhong: "Don't be afraid, the Devil's fighter plane doesn't carry a heavy bomb, so it can't blow up our artillery tank armor!"

Emmons: "Then I have no objection!"

Cao Bixiao suddenly said: "No!"

Emmons was taken aback and asked, "What?"

Cao Bixiao got up suddenly and said: "We must withdraw immediately, the devil's artillery has begun to extend!"

Chen Zhong also heard it at this time.He frowned and said, "You must not withdraw. The Devil's aviation can correct the impact point in time. If you withdraw, you will only be chased by the Devil's artillery!"

It’s impossible to withdraw. Emmons was anxious and asked, “Then what should I do? Is it possible to be bombed here and wait to die? I’ve already lost a regiment!”

Chen Zhong glanced at him and said, "We can only seize the opportunity and charge forward!"

Emmons exclaimed: "What? Isn't that death?"

Chen Zhong ignored him, but turned around and ordered: "Mortar, fire smoke bombs immediately, half the base, the target lands on the beach!"

"Yes!" The orderly responded, and the cat waist quickly ran back.

Suddenly, amidst the fireworks of a line of defense, a student soldier stood up and waved the flag in his hands at the same time.When Chen Zhong saw it, he immediately picked up the microphone and pressed the send button, shouting: "Brigade Commander Mao, request artillery support, rapid fire in 5 minutes, the target's three lines of defense move forward!"

The Japanese landing operation went very smoothly, and as soon as they rushed to the beach, Ono gave the order to charge.At the same time, Yamada changed the order: "Order the ships to carry out extended bombardment, one round of 50 meters, three rounds per round! Also, please pay attention to the effect of the bombardment, and adjust the shooting elements in time!"

The transmission distance of the walkie-talkie determines that Yamada’s order can only be transmitted back to the fleet through a relay of three fighter planes. This delay of about 3 minutes caused the marines who boarded the beach to misunderstand Ono, mistakenly thinking that this was another death order and hesitated not before.And just when they were undecided, the artillery regiment of the Xuebing Army began to show its power.

Suddenly there was the sound of artillery firing from the northwest direction, the faces of the devils on the beach changed drastically, and Yamada showed a grim smile.He immediately ordered the air support group to bombard the defenders' artillery positions.More than [-] fighter planes circling over the battlefield whizzed away, and Yamada turned his head to Ono and said, "This is the highest level of coordinated operations. The aviation is responsible for bombing the most threatening enemy support firepower, and the naval guns are responsible for covering the infantry advancing. Ono-kun, I know you are still angry with me for what happened just now, but please believe me, I did this for the great cause of the empire, to spread the martial arts of His Majesty the Emperor throughout Greater East Asia—"

Yamada was bragging, but Ono's expression changed when he saw the troops on the beach being bombarded. He waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yamada, the battle is not over yet. You should save your words for the summary meeting! I want to know , using a brigade to lure the defenders to reveal the position of the artillery, is it worth it? We only have three brigades left, but the Chinese obviously haven’t used their reserves—eight squares, gas bombs? Now it’s the northwest wind !” Before he finished speaking, he found that the defenders' position on the beach that was being bombarded by naval artillery suddenly filled with smoke, so he changed the subject and asked.

Yamada was also a little confused: "Gas bombs? We didn't carry gas bombs this time!"

"But what is that?"

The shelling of the enemy ship concealed Chen Zhongbu's behavior of firing smoke bombs, and just when the enemy ship's guns began to extend in depth, Chen Zhong gave an order, and the students under his command rushed out of the third line of defense with cats on their waists. Then braved the gunfire and rushed forward.

From Chen Zhong's understanding, he led the troops to launch a counterattack to break through the blockade of the enemy's guns, but in Emmons' view, this seemed to be no different from sending them to death.

At the critical moment, Cao Bixiao yelled at him: "General, charge! If you don't charge, it will be too late!" Saying that, he set him up and left.

Breaking out of the artillery blockade requires luck, but also courage.Emmons was supported by Cao Bixiao and ran forward, gritted his teeth while running and shouted: "Gentlemen, for France, go!"

"For France! Go!" The French officers shouted and rushed out of the trenches.

Under the leadership of the officers, the courage of the soldiers was finally aroused. They shouted and rushed up while screaming.

Hearing the tsunami-like roar of the French, Chen Zhong became anxious and shouted: "Don't shout, don't shout! Silence!"

Cao Bixiao also reacted, and said to Emmons: "General, stop yelling. We fired smoke bombs so that the Japanese army could not trace our tracks. You will expose the target this time."

Emmons was not stupid. He understood immediately after hearing what he said, and he immediately ordered everyone to stop shouting.However, it is easy to start a team of more than a thousand people, but it is a bit difficult to step on the brakes and stop.Fortunately, the Japanese naval guns just started to fire three rounds covering the three lines of defense, and the explosion was loud enough, so that Chen Zhong's painstaking efforts were not in vain.
