Chapter 1055 Steel Line of Defense

As an island country, there are nearly a hundred large and small ports along the coast of Japan. More than 70% of these ports are concentrated on Honshu Island, and all the top five major ports are here.

In contrast, there are very few ports near Hokkaido, and even fewer are suitable for large army landing operations. Combined with the geographical location of the island and the deployment of marching operations, after eliminating one by one, there are only Kushiro Port in the east, Rumoi Port in the west, and Tomakomai Port in the south to choose from.

Keisuke Honda is also well aware of this.

Long before the start of the national war, Mikasa City spent great efforts to build an indestructible war defense line along the coast of the main port.

Keisuke Honda was also really determined.

Before the start of the national war, he ordered the dismantling of the port wharf, and then blocked the port with torpedoes, so that the Great Xia fleet could not even enter the port, and could only land on the beaches on both wings.

The core of the war defense line is three rows of turrets, arranged in order from low to high, to ensure the endurance of the firepower network. The cannons are condescending, and the intertwined firepower net can cover the entire beach area.

The dense firepower network is enough to destroy all landing troops.

In addition, there are arrow towers behind the fort, and rows of archers are arranged, which can not only cover the beach area with arrow nets by projectiles, but also ensure the safety of the archers.

Finally, there is the musketeer.

They hid in the fort and complemented the artillery through the firing ports one by one.

Even better, such a combination basically eliminates the possibility of Daxia mimic aircraft bombing, unless the aircraft acts as a death squad and launches a death charge against the battlefield.

Aircraft are expensive and simply cannot afford to consume them.

Such a perverted line of defense can only be imagined by a pervert like Keisuke Honda. In order to build such war fortresses in major ports, Mikasa City's family property was almost emptied.

Fortunately, the Japanese players are very united, contributing money and efforts in the process.

…………

June 2, Kushiro Port, Hokkaido.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Yashan Fleet escorted the forward troops of the expeditionary force and arrived in the nearby waters.

On board the flagship Gaihai.

Guo Ziyi, the vanguard officer of the expeditionary force, looked at the artillery positions built on the shore, frowned, and said to Yu Dayou, the admiral of the Yashan Fleet, "Excuse me, general, may the fleet's artillery hit the enemy's positions?"

Yu Dayou shook his head, "The enemy is very experienced, and the artillery positions are arranged very delicately. Because the artillery ranges of the enemy and ours are similar, the enemy's artillery can hit the beach area, but our warships cannot reach the coast for shelling."

The battleship is huge and has an extremely deep draft, so it is impossible to dock normally, otherwise it will be stranded directly.

Guo Ziyi then asked: "Can aircraft be used for high-altitude bombing?"

"If the aircraft wants not to be shot down by the enemy, it must hover at an altitude of at least 400 meters, and the accuracy of dropping bombs will be greatly reduced. You can try it, but don't expect too much."

Mimic aircraft has long been the standard equipment of the Great Xia Navy, not to mention the fleet level, it is the formation level, and the flagship is equipped with two to three mimic aircraft.

Yu Dayou is familiar with the combat characteristics of aircraft.

"This is troublesome." Guo Ziyi gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, let's try it first!"

"we can only do this."

Yu Dayou has no other way right now.

Soon, five mimetic aircraft lifted off from the flagship deck, arranged in a straight line, and wobbled towards the sky over the enemy's position.

Because it is by the sea, it is often windy.

The westerly wind is blowing right now, especially at high altitudes, the wind force is above level five. Bombs dropped from a high altitude can easily deviate from the target under the action of the wind.

In the first round of bombing, none of the targets were hit.

When Yu Dayou saw him, he glanced at Guo Ziyi unobtrusively, with an embarrassed expression on his face. Although affected by the wind, it is still too embarrassing.

Especially in front of friendly troops, it will damage Daxia's military prestige even more.

In the second round of bombing, the situation did not improve significantly. Only one bomb hit, and it only exploded on the edge of the enemy's fort, causing no major casualties.

In the next few rounds, the effect is average.

With this level of bombing, it is impossible to shake the enemy's defenses. The most important thing is time. The national war only lasts for one month, so it must be resolved quickly.

It is expected that tomorrow morning, the main force led by the expeditionary force coach Han Xin will arrive at the front line.

By then, the navy, field army, combat professional players, and support personnel will add up to more than three million people and thousands of ships.

With such a huge fleet, every day of delay at sea is a staggering amount of material consumption. No matter how rich Daxia is, he can't last for a few days.

Therefore, the vanguard must open up the situation in the shortest possible time, successfully land on the beach, establish a stronghold on land, and then advance inland to obtain supplies, forming a virtuous circle.

"Since the air strike fails, we can only attack by force!"

Guo Ziyi turned around, looked at the army commanders, and asked solemnly: "Who is willing to lead the troops to fight?"

"The general wishes to go!"

As soon as the words fell, a fierce general came out to fight. It was the head of the First Legion of the Luofeng City Flame Army and one of the top ten great generals in history, Wu Mourning Heavenly King Ran Min.

During this expedition, Phoenix Prisoner showed great sincerity and took the initiative to arrange the Flame Army as the vanguard.

Apart from repaying Da Xia, Phoenix Prisoner Huang also wanted to use this battle to fully demonstrate the prestige of Luofeng City, and earn a lot of merit points along the way in order to be promoted to Duke.

Seeing that Handan City is about to open a dynasty and establish a country, how can Feng Prison and Huang be in a hurry.

Of the only three remaining territories in Huaxia District, only Luofeng City has not yet been promoted to the capital city.

Seeing Guo Ziyi, she nodded with satisfaction, "Go!"

"promise!"

After a little leaning, Ran Min took the 10,000 elites of the Lie Yan Army, changed to a red horse boat, and rushed towards the coast. As soon as they touched the shore, they jumped out of the boat one by one and rushed towards the shore.

As soon as the soldiers running in the front stepped on the soft sand, the enemy moved.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

All of a sudden, gunfire blared.

The cannonball with the size of a head exploded on the beach, splashing the golden Xisha in all directions, shooting towards the surrounding soldiers like bullets.

"Ah~~my eyes~~"

Some unlucky ones were rushed into the eyes by the splashing Xisha, and wailed in pain.

"Raise the shield!"

Ran Min, who was tall and tall, held a long gun and commanded the troops to disperse in small groups. While avoiding shells, he used his shield to block the rain of arrows and rushed forward.

"kill!"

The task of Ran Min's department is to kill the fort.

With a "swipe", steel shields stood up one after another, forming an iron wall.

Although Ran Min is a fierce general, he is not stupid at all. The ten thousand elites brought out this time are all the top sword and shield soldiers. There are also some archers mixed in, as a cover.

Each squad is paired with an archer.

On the Gaihai, Guo Ziyi looked at the charging troops with anticipation and nervousness.

"Success depends on this battle!"
