    On November 5, warships of the Chinese Navy gathered in Xiangmo Bay.  Three battleships and three heavy cruisers, escorted by several light cruisers, stayed less than ten kilometers away from the shore.  On the coast, the Japanese army was already well prepared.  However, it is very difficult to say whether these Japanese soldiers are really so confident.  Japan's coastal defense artillery was originally not many, and they were basically deployed on both sides of the Uraga Waterway, making the defense in other areas very weak.

    "However, the Chinese navy did not directly attack the Uraga Channel, but chose to land at Somo Bay, which was completely unexpected by the Japanese army.  In their opinion, the Chinese navy should enter Tokyo Bay directly from the Uraga Suidou!  The Chinese Navy's strategy immediately frustrated all the Japanese military's calculations.  Japanese Army Minister Katsura Taro hurriedly mobilized several divisions from other defense areas to reinforce the Miura Peninsula, hoping to prevent the Chinese troops from landing.  If there are not enough coastal defense guns, they can only be filled with human lives.

    At eight o'clock in the morning, three battleships and three heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy began to bombard Kamakura City on the shore of Somo Bay.  This was chosen as the landing site because of its complete port facilities.  If it can be landed here, the army's large equipment can be landed smoothly, which can save a lot of time.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The battleship's giant cannon began to roar, the muzzle of the gun flashed with orange-red fire, and high-explosive bombs were fired one after another.  Under the influence of huge kinetic energy.  Smashed into the Japanese position.

    "Boom!" A huge ball of orange-red fireball.  Rising above the Japanese positions.  Even the sand at the beach can leave a huge crater.  Within a diameter of hundreds of meters, it is impossible for any living thing to survive.

    "Oh my god! Is this the power of the battleship's main gun?" Many Japanese experienced such a scene for the first time, and they were all trembling with fear.  Even though these Japanese soldiers have dug a lot of artillery-proof holes, they do not think that they have dug good artillery-proof holes.  Able to withstand such a powerful battleship main gun.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Chinese navy's warships poured shells frantically at the Japanese positions on the sea. The Japanese positions were completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke.  The 29th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed and trained, struggling to hold on amidst the fierce bombardment of the Chinese Navy!

    "Counterattack! Order the artillery to counterattack! Send a telegram to Mr. Katsura Taro. We have been violently attacked by the Chinese and ask for support!" Jiro Oba, the commander of the 29th Division of the Japanese Army, ordered anxiously.

    Soon, the Japanese shore defense artillery began to fire, but  The Japanese army only deployed a dozen coastal defense guns in Kamakura City. How can this be an opponent of the Chinese navy?  After the Japanese coastal defense artillery fired.  The Chinese navy immediately adjusted its target and launched an attack on the Japanese shore defense artillery positions.  In less than ten minutes, the Japanese coastal defense artillery position was destroyed.  All the cannons were blown up, and the artillerymen suffered heavy casualties.  After solving the Japanese coastal defense artillery positions, the Chinese Navy once again opened fire on the Japanese defensive positions.  The Japanese defenses were blown to pieces under the fierce shelling.

    By nine o'clock in the morning, when the 6th Marine Corps Brigade began to land, the Japanese army's position was already in a mess. Even the city of Kamakura on the shore had long been reduced to ruins by shelling.  The tens of thousands of Japanese living here fled here one by one with their families and their families when the bombardment started, and fled to the inland areas.

    Hundreds of small landing craft quickly sailed towards the coast, and the Japanese resistance was very weak.  Under the attack of the Chinese navy, the Japanese 29th Division had suffered heavy casualties.  It is simply not enough to withstand the attack of the Chinese Marine Corps.

    By ten o'clock in the morning, the 6th Marine Brigade had successfully landed and established a beachhead 500 meters long and one kilometer wide.  Marine Corps soldiers are attacking the Japanese army in order to widen their position.

    Japan, War Department.  The atmosphere in the War Department was very tense today. Everyone knew that the Chinese were going to launch an attack on Tokyo today. Especially after the 29th Division sent back a telegram asking for help, everyone felt a rush.  pressure comes.

    "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General Oba Erlang of the 29th Division sent a telegram. The Chinese have begun to land. The 29th Division, which was severely damaged, is unable to prevent the Chinese from landing!" A staff officer reported to Katsura Taro.

    "Baga!" Katsura Taro cursed secretly. The 29th Army Corps, which was considered an elite division among the Japanese army, was beaten like this. This made Katsura Taro more angry and rushed to the scene.  ?Surprised.

    "We are on the Miura Peninsula. What other troops are there?" Katsura Taro asked.

    "Your Excellency, we have a total of five divisions on the Miura Peninsula. In addition to the 29th Division, there are also the 7th Division, the 18th Division, the 35th Division and the 59th Division.  Regiment. Among them, the 7th Division is in Zushi City and the 35th Division is in Tochichi City." the staff officer replied.

    "Let the 7th Division and the 35th Division go to Kamakura immediately to stop the Chinese. In addition, mobilize the 12th Division, the 17th Division, and the 33rd Division from Tokyo.  Head to the Miura Peninsula with the 34th Division. Since the Shinas are going to land at Somo Bay, stop them there!" Katsura Taro ordered.  The mission of the Japanese Army is to protect Tokyo.  Since the Chinese ** team did not choose to land directly in Tokyo Bay, they can also make changes and there is no need to defend Tokyo.

    "Yes, Your Excellency!" After the staff officer recorded the order, he immediately went down to deliver the order.  Japanese troops throughout the Tokyo area were mobilized.  The Japanese troops of four divisions marched directly from Tokyo to the Miura Peninsula.

    After the 6th Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps successfully landed, the 9th Division and the 36th Division of the Eighth Army immediately began to land using the port of Kamakura City.  The Japanese 29th Division tried to seize or destroy the port several times, but they were repelled by the Chinese 6th Marine Brigade.  After a few times, the Japanese army gave up.

    At noon, the 9th Division of the Chinese Army took the lead in completing the landing. With the strength of a regiment, in cooperation with the 6th Marine Brigade, they launched an attack on Kamakura City.  After a long battle, the Japanese 29th Division had only a few thousand men left. It was unable to withstand the attack of the Chinese Army and had to withdraw from Kamakura City.

    In the afternoon, the 36th Division also completed the landing.  Afterwards, the 6th Marine Brigade was stationed in Kamakura, and the 9th and 36th Divisions of the Eighth Army launched an attack on the Miura Peninsula.  At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese Seventh Division, which was rushing from Zushi City to Kamakura, encountered two divisions of squadrons, and a battle began immediately.

    The navy¡¯s three heavy cruisers provided support for the two army divisions. After a great battle, the Japanese Seventh Division was almost completely wiped out.  After that, the squadrons of the two divisions immediately launched an attack on Yokosuka City, preparing to conquer the Japanese naval base.

    On October 6, the 9th Army Division defeated the Japanese 18th Division and captured Yokosuka City.  The 36th Division, with the cooperation of the navy, launched an attack on the forts on the Miura Peninsula that blocked the Uraga Waterway.  The design of these forts is very unreasonable. They can only bombard the sea. For enemies on land, they mainly rely on the army.  When the 36th Division of the Chinese Army easily defeated the Japanese Army guarding the forts, it easily captured these forts.  Subsequently, the Navy's battleships began to attack the coastal defense batteries on the side of the Boso Peninsula.  The Japanese coastal defense forts on the Boso Peninsula side were originally relatively few. After the forts on the Miura Peninsula fell, they were unable to complete the important task of blocking the Kii Waterway.

    Before the sun went down on October 6, all the Japanese coastal defense batteries on the Boso Peninsula side were destroyed. Several battleships and heavy cruisers of the Chinese Navy only suffered minor injuries.  By this time, access to Tokyo Bay had been opened.

    At the same time, the fighting on the Miura Peninsula continued. Japanese troops from four divisions transferred from Tokyo launched a fierce attack on Kamakura.  The 6th Marine Brigade, with more than 8,000 troops, faced a fierce attack by nearly 100,000 Japanese troops, and it was very difficult.  In the end, they even had to abandon the city of Kamakura and retreat to the port.  Fortunately, although the main force of the navy went to Uraga Suido, two light cruisers and four destroyers were left in Kamakura.  These six warships provided powerful fire support for the 6th Marine Brigade.  In particular, the four destroyers moved less than one kilometer away from the coast and fired wildly at the Japanese troops with rapid-fire cannons, killing as many of the Japanese troops as possible.

    The Japanese army suffered heavy losses during the attack on Kamakura. Several divisions suffered more than half of their casualties.  In the end, the 9th Chinese Army Division that captured Yokosuka fought back to Kamakura, and together with the 6th Marine Brigade, they severely damaged the Japanese army.  The entire Miura Peninsula fell under the control of the Chinese army.  After the navy opens the Uraga Waterway, the 9th Division and the 36th Division will launch an attack on Tokyo from land along Tokyo Bay.  The navy covered the main force of the Eighth Army and landed directly in Tokyo.

    "Your Excellency, the Uraga Water Channel was opened by the Chinese. The coastal defense artillery position on the south side of the Uraga Water Channel was captured by the Chinese army, and the coastal defense artillery position on the north was destroyed by the Chinese navy!" One  The staff officer reported to Katsura Taro with a panicked expression.

    "Baga! How could this happen?" Katsura Taro was shocked.  The Uraga water channel has been opened, which means that Tokyo has fallen into the Chinese cannon.Got it!
