The mines placed in the port were unable to be cleaned up, so Japanese ships could not dock normally. Faced with this situation, the commander of the Japanese fleet also found it extremely difficult and found that this landing operation seemed to be beyond his control.

First, the intelligence system lost contact, which made the fleet not know what was going on in the city. Although the shore defense artillery deployed in the port had been destroyed, the Japanese fleet also paid a considerable price, and several warships had to withdraw from the combat sequence.

Even some warships with smaller drainage tonnage have begun to sink, and the officers and soldiers on the warships have no choice but to be rescued back to other warships. Before the fleet arrived, I believe that the fleet commander and his subordinates did not expect such a result.

According to the Japanese army's prediction, the Indochina colonial government, which had lost domestic support, was likely to surrender with a little resistance in the face of their strong attacks. The attacks launched from the flank land have proved these to the Japanese commanders.

Even if the colonial government's army resisted slightly, the combat effectiveness of the colonial army was extremely low, and they were defeated and fled before they fought. In the evening, the fleet would probably have the troops that launched an attack from the flank land to reach the sea defense city.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the commander of the Japanese fleet finally said: "The gunboats were covered and the troops were ordered to start landing. While sending offensive troops, they established a beachhead position on the mudflats ahead to cover the subsequent troops to land on the siege."

"Hi!"

As a defensive side, Hu Biao and others were also observing the every move of the Japanese fleet at all times. Seeing the troop transport ships beginning to approach the beach and jumping off the ships with guns one after another, an officer soon said, "The Japanese are here!"

"Don't worry! Give the Japanese some delicacies first and let the defensive troops prepare for the battle!"

"Yes, the commander!"

The heavy artillery battalion, which is ready for artillery, must receive the order of Hu Biao before firing. Before this, the remaining artillery troops will obey Lei Xiong's orders, assist the defensive forces outside the city, and block the Japanese from approaching the sea defense city.

The first battalion, which was in the front, soon received a call from the command center in the rear. The first battalion commander also said excitedly: "Notify the companies and prepare for the fight! Haha, it's our turn to come! Tell those bastards, fight me well!"

"Yes, battalion commander!"

Although he brought an elite regiment, Lei Xiong did not send all the regiment to the frontier defensive positions. In addition to the first battalion, the second battalion also acted as a reserve. If the first battalion is in a tight battle, the second battalion will also join the battle immediately.

At least as far as the current situation is concerned, the Japanese who launched landing operations through troop transport ships did not carry heavy weapons. The defense position of the first battalion has exceeded the Japanese gun range and is unable to provide artillery fire cover at all.

In contrast, a battalion brought by Lei Xiong from the division's artillery regiment was able to carry out artillery fire strikes on the attacking Japanese through the Qiwu Mountain cannons it carried. In conjunction with the first-level infantry artillery and mortars equipped with the battalion, the firepower was far better than that of the landing Japanese Japanese.

Seeing that several infantry squadrons that successfully implemented landings had already established defensive positions on the mudflats. The subsequent troop transport ships also began to transport all the infantry transported ashore one after another and began to arrange offensive plans.

Taking advantage of the sunset, everything in the Japanese army landed on the ground was orderly. On the other hand, Hu Biao and others, who were in charge of observation, were paying attention to the weapons and equipment that the Japanese army transported from the ship. Unfortunately, the soldiers basically landed on the water.

The pier that could have been used to dock boats has now been blocked by a minesweeper. Although there is still a place to dock in front, no one knows whether there are deadly mines hidden under the calm water surface?

In this case, even if the Japanese troops ship was loaded with heavy weapons such as artillery, they could not be removed. Perhaps only light weapons could be used. Seeing this scene, Lei Xiong and others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Notify the defensive forces and fight this first battle for me! Try to annihilate all the Japanese who landed so that they will never return. Without these infantry, I want to see what Japanese Japanese can use to attack the city!"

As Lei Xiong issued corresponding combat orders to the frontier defense forces, he received a call from the command center, and the two battalion commanders of the first regiment were very happy. Without the Japanese with artillery support, wouldn’t they become chickens that had lost their hair?

The combat power is instantly weakened by several levels of the Japanese army, and it will become much easier for them to deal with. The fortifications built after entering the city do not have to worry about being destroyed by artillery fire. However, their artillery company can severely damage the attacking Japanese.

"Battery Commander, the Japanese are coming!"

"Damn it! It must have been sent to reconnaissance the enemy situation! How many Japanese devils are there?"

"Battery Commander, what should I do?"

"Do you have to ask me this too? Let the first company clean up them! The other companies will continue to be on standby. Tell the first company commander to leave half of the Japanese devils for me. If they can be wiped out, I will ask him for credit from the regiment commander!"

"Yes, battalion commander!"

The first company commander who received the notice was that he could have completely wiped out the Japanese army of about one squadron, and the battalion commander was naturally happy to ask for credit from the regiment. But after thinking about it, he felt that it would be difficult to wipe out the Japanese gangs.

After thinking for a while, he said, "The first platoon leader, go and talk to the other company commanders and ask them to send a sniper squad to cooperate with us. The sniper squads of the four companies have forty-eight snipers. Each person and one shot can kill nearly half of the Japanese.

The rest of the platoons brought the Japanese to me closer. These Japanese came to reconnaissance, and the Japanese behind were also a little far away from them. We tried to clean up the remaining Japanese before the Japanese reinforcements arrived."

"Yes, company commander! Just like this, other company commanders will definitely blackmail you!"

"It's okay! When the battle is over, I'll invite them to drink! Anyway, they've been greedy for a long time!"

"Yes, company commander!"

With the conditions to invite a drink, the other three company commanders happily borrowed their respective sniper squads. The sniper squads directly under the company command were undoubtedly sharpshooters carefully selected by each company. The weapons equipped with them are also mass-produced modified sniper infantry.

The original guns of these modified sniper rifles are German-made Mauser Type 98 rifles, and the scopes are equipped with triple mirrors, quadruple mirrors and six times. The sniper rifles with triple mirrors are first-level combat troops equipped with front-line combat troops.

The sniper rifle at the four-fold realm is a combat force at the regiment level, while the six-fold mirror is only equipped with expanded special combat brigades. The scope magnification is different, and its range and accuracy are naturally different. However, these snipers are still more elite than ordinary infantry.

Facing the Japanese reconnaissance squadron that was gradually approaching the position in an offensive formation, a company of officers and soldiers lurking in the position were always lurking quietly. Even though the Japanese reconnaissance squadron had already started shooting, the position was still quiet.

Just when the Japanese squadron leader was curious about whether there was no one in the front position, the company commander raised his hand and said, "Sniper, prepare! Fight!"

With the order of the first company commander, more than 50 snipers, including the first company commander, instantly fired the first wave of bullets. The banging gunshots sounded, and the Japanese who bent down to approach the defensive position fell down in an instant.

"Baga! How is this possible! Damn it, fight back! fight back!"

In addition to the Japanese who were knocked down by a sniper, there were also other combat platoons in the company, which also began to join the combat. The machine guns and rifles fired, and the Japanese who had no cover could only lie tightly on the open ground at the front of the position.

In just one round of attacks, more than half of the officers and soldiers who came to reconnaissance were killed. The surviving Japanese squadron leader asked himself that he had encountered such a brutal defender for the first time. However, the gunfire on the position made him suspicious.

"Baga! How do we use our infantry in the position guards? Wait, there seems to be the sound of Mauser infantry!"

The colonial army that colonized Indochina used weapons and equipment, which were naturally produced by the country. But the Japanese discovered that the troops that blocked them were not colonial troops at all. This situation was undoubtedly beyond the expectations of the Japanese army.

"Damn it! The troops stationed in the defense city are not the troops of Francis at all! There must be a conspiracy here! Retreat!"

When the squadron leader realized that there might be a huge change that they had not expected in the Haifang City and was about to withdraw the remaining troops. Many Japanese devils who had just stood up and prepared to retreat were killed by snipers.

Seeing the Japanese who were about to retreat, the company commander sneered: "Here, why are you running so anxiously! Grenadier team, bombard me! Don't let anyone go! If you let go, our company's contribution will be gone!"

"Yes, company commander!"

Compared to grenades, the grenade can be thrown farther than the grenade launcher. Some Japanese devils who withdrew from the range of rifles were still killed by snipers and grenadiers. Even the Japanese squadron leader who had survived was hit by a grenade.

The first battalion commander who was staying behind to watch the battle saw that the first company really wiped out the Japanese who came to reconnaissance, and laughed: "The first company did a good job! He won the first battle and should indeed ask for credit for them! Order the cannon company to blow back the Japanese who reinforced them!"

"Yes, battalion commander!"

With the artillery company of the first battalion, it began to use mortars to attack the Japanese who came to reinforce. The company commander took this opportunity to quickly order the troops to rush out of the trenches, pick up the weapons of the Japanese who had been eliminated, and clean up the battlefield.

Even the regular troops of the Wolf Army are not lacking in weapons and equipment. But these officers know that the Japanese soldiers' equipment can be removed as much as possible. Even if they are sent back to the rear for cleaning, they can be given to the people.

There are many poor people in China or colonies. These military uniforms that only need to be cleaned and re-dyeed can be given to the people. It is very useful to use them for charity and to buy the hearts of local people.

Moreover, these can be converted into combat rewards. Even if the amount of rewards is not much, it is still an income! For the officers and soldiers of these combat troops, they are more eager to receive the reward salary than the military pay they receive every month!
