    The visual inspections of carrier-based fighter pilots are first-hand information directly from the front line. Of course, they are highly credible, especially regarding the thick smoke coming out of the ground and the sound of explosions. This further proves that,  The effect of the second bombing achieved the expected purpose. If the Japanese underground fortifications had not been destroyed, this situation would not have happened. Tang Qiuquan breathed a sigh of relief.

    From the bottom of his heart, what Tang Qiuquan was most afraid of seeing was the Marine Corps soldiers. After rushing to the beach, they were greeted by a dense rain of bullets. Although casualties were inevitable in a beach landing battle, but  , if conditions permit, Tang Qiuquan will reduce this kind of casualties to a minimum. Then, mastering absolute air supremacy and dispatching bombers for two rounds of bombing is the first choice. For this, no matter how much ammunition is consumed, he will not hesitate.  !

    "Xi Guo, the Japanese underground defense system has been solved. What's left is the Japanese shore artillery unit. Order the ships to start!" Tang Qiuquan said to Chief of Staff Xin Xiguo.

    Xin Xiguo issued the order to each warship. Immediately, a series of commands sounded on the warships of the escort fleet. The huge shells, which required several strong sailors to be lifted, were easily fed into the naval guns by the loader.  The gun bore, "The first gun position of the front main gun is ready! The second gun position of the front main gun is ready! The front main gun!" The front main guns on each warship are all ready, and the thick muzzles are,  In the morning sun, it reflects the luster of metal.

    Just now, the sailors were so greedy and panicked as they saw the bomber group of China Airlines and the carrier-based bomber group of the fleet blowing up the Japanese positions into ruins and a sea of ??fire. Originally, according to the landing operation plan.  The naval guns of each warship needed to use ferocious artillery fire to destroy the Japanese beachhead. Unexpectedly, the first round of bombardment by the bomber group did not leave any target for the fleet to bombard. This made several captains feel depressed.  Very humiliating!

    Colonel Kiyosaki stared at the sea. According to the routine, the bomber group of the independent division.  After two rounds of bombing, the landing force should start taking action. In just ten minutes, the shelling area of ??the shore artillery wing will be filled by the independent division's troop carriers and landing ships.  At that time, a large-caliber artillery shell fell.  The lethality will be astonishing.

    ??Although after the cannon was fired.  All the shore artillery positions will be exposed, which will attract crazy attacks from the independent division's escort fleet and escort aircraft groups. In the end, the shore artillery wing will inevitably be shattered.  But Colonel Kiyosaki believed that it was worth it. The entire artillery regiment on the shore was shattered in exchange for heavy damage to the independent division's landing troops.  Even if it had to happen all over again, Colonel Kiyosaki would still choose to do this!

    However, more than ten minutes later, the sea was still empty, and a troop transport ship of the Independent Division did not appear in his sight. Even the raging fires on the position had weakened to repeated puffs of smoke.  It was unconventional, and the battlefield was too quiet. It was so quiet that Colonel Kiyosaki felt chills all over and his heart tightened. He stretched out his hand and subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling that his mouth was so dry that he felt thirsty.

    "Boom!" There was a dull loud noise on the distant sea, and then, "Sun!" In the sky, there was a shrill scream with a final sound, which made people's skin itch.  Goosebumps. They are all veterans of artillery. Colonel Kiyosaki recognized it at once. It was a large-caliber artillery shell. When it flew at high speed, it made a screaming sound that cut through the air. The target of the artillery attack must be his own shore artillery.  emplacement.

    The one that fired such large-caliber shells must be the main guns of the independent warships. Hearing the screams from far to near, Colonel Kiyosaki became less nervous. He did not think that the guns of the independent division warships could attack his own artillery.  What fundamental threat does the position pose? Just now, the bombers of the Independent Division and the heavy aerial bombs like raindrops can't be dealt with. The shore artillery hidden in the strong hidden gun holes and the warships of the Independent Division can't do anything either!

    With a loud "Boom!", a large-caliber artillery shell exploded near the gun position. In front of Colonel Kiyosaki's eyes, a huge fireball rose up, shattering rocks and soil, flying in all directions, and covered by gunpowder smoke.  Blocking his sight, a piece of shrapnel, with a metallic trembling sound, passed by his ear, "Honey?" Colonel Kiyosaki screamed in surprise, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

    Colonel Kiyosaki couldn't help but be surprised. When the shore artillery positions were originally built, they had fully considered the threat that might come from enemy warships and naval guns on the sea. Therefore, the construction of the shore artillery positions was very clever. They were driven from the sea.  It is basically a blind spot, and it is impossible for naval guns to aim directly at the target. However, why did the cannonball just hit the target so accurately? If it were any closer, it could directly hit the hidden cannon hole!

    Colonel Kiyosaki was not given much time to be surprised. Immediately afterwards, a second large-caliber artillery shell roared in. This time, just as Colonel Kiyosaki feared, the shell flew directly into the gun emplacement, with a loud "Boom!"  , Colonel Kiyosaki remains in this world.?The last impression was that a huge fireball suddenly expanded in front of his eyes, and then his body was torn to pieces by shrapnel and turned into a ball of blood mist.

    This is not a tragic ending. The third shell flew and directly hit the Japanese shore artillery emplacement. The exploding shell detonated the artillery shells in the hidden artillery cave. With a series of loud noises, the Japanese shore artillery emplacement, together with the large  caliber shore artillery, and more than twenty Japanese soldiers, instantly turned into fragments flying in the sky, flying in the morning sunshine of the Liaodong Peninsula!

    The carrier-based fighter pilots hovering at low altitude and acting as naval gun correctors witnessed a wonderful bombardment with their own eyes. The impact point of the first shell was slightly off the target. The pilots immediately picked up the coordinates of their respective observation points.  The second shell, like it had eyes, went directly into the cave where the Japanese army concealed its shore artillery. Then, the third shell followed the same pattern, with a burst of thick smoke rising, a burst of cement blocks flying across, and a violent explosion.  .

    The fourth artillery shell flew in, blowing up the broken bricks and tiles on the ruins. The pilots reported the shelling of the targets they were responsible for observing to the fleet headquarters, "The observation results of the carrier-based fighter jets, the Japanese shore artillery positions  , a total of forty-eight explosions and fires, thick smoke was everywhere, and the targets were completely destroyed!"

    "Commander, we have received a report that all the Japanese shore artillery positions have been completely destroyed! Our fleet did a very good job. With an average of four shells, one Japanese shore artillery position was destroyed!" Xin Xiguo reported to Tang Qiuquan beamingly.  arrive.

    Tang Qiuquan put a smile on his lips and looked at his watch. It took nearly four hours from arriving in the waters near Lushunkou, to two rounds of bombing raids by the bomber group, to destroying the Japanese shore artillery positions. At this time, it was already  It was around 12 o'clock in the morning on June 20th. So far, the Japanese defense troops on the front line of Lushunkou had been dealt a devastating blow, and there had been no casualties in the troops. He was obviously very satisfied with the result.

    "Commander, do you want to order the troops to start landing immediately?" Taking advantage of Tang Qiuquan's happiness, Xin Xiguo impatiently put forward the request to start the attack.

    Tang Qiuquan smiled and said, "What? Are you anxious?"

    Xin Xiguo replied with a smile: "Commander, you have wronged me. It's not that I'm anxious. It's Commander Han of the Marine Corps who has sent several telegrams to the command headquarters to request a fight. I estimate that the Marine Corps'  Those brigade commanders pushed Commander Han Tie so hard!"

    Tang Qiuquan's eyes flashed and he said: "Convey my order, the escort fleet's fast gunboat brigade, immediately go forward, conduct an indiscriminate rocket launcher coverage of the Japanese positions, and order the landing troops to prepare for landing!"

    ¡°What? Commander, you?¡±  The landing channel area has been completely overhauled. Are there any survivors left on the front line of Lushunkou? The little devils are not tough, can they withstand such a torturous fire?  ?¡±

    Xin Xiguo looked in disbelief. He felt that the commander had become cautious. From the perspective of the chief of staff, he had the responsibility to remind the commander that there was no need to carry out fire strikes again because the Japanese positions had become ruins with no vegetation.  , isn¡¯t it unnecessary to fire thousands of rockets?  What's more, the area covered by rockets will have to wait at least two hours before troops can pass through. Isn't that a waste of time?

    Xin Xiguo was also worried. The war situation report sent by the division commander's staff office said that the troops of the Southeast Mobile Corps responsible for attacking the Korean Peninsula were fighting vigorously with the Japanese army in the direction of Inchon, Gunsan, and Mokpo, especially in the direction of Mokpo.  , the battle for the beachhead is very fierce. In this direction, the attack distance is shorter than that of the southern front. There is only one attack point, but it falls behind the southern front troops. So far, several hours have passed, and hundreds of thousands of troops are still there.  Crouching on the troopship.

    This is the route commanded by Commander Tang himself. If he is overtaken by the troops on the southern front, as the chief of staff, he will lose face and feel uncomfortable. The commander will be delayed for more than two hours.  Time, isn¡¯t it necessary!  It¡¯s not like I¡¯m anxious to death!

    Tang Qiuquan looked at Xin Xiguo, who was red-headed and blushing. A smile flashed across his lips, but he said unwaveringly: "Convey my order. The two fast gunboat brigades will cover the Japanese positions in all directions. The landing troops are here."  In the meantime, hurry up and have lunch!¡±

    ¡°Perhaps, all the officers in the escort fleet headquarters, including Chief of Staff Xin Xiguo, cannot understand Commander Tang, why would he do this?  Doing something meaningless, delaying time, and wasting ammunition!
