Ishihara Kanir felt that it was a bit too much to get the stake, but Colonel Yamazaki Shiro, the captain of the 55th Infantry Regiment, did not think so. He thought it was normal.

When Deputy Captain Kiyoji Sato raised doubts, Shiro Yamazaki said disapprovingly: "Sato, don't overestimate the combat effectiveness of that army, and don't underestimate the power of the army and the navy. This battle is the first time in the history of the Imperial Army, Navy and Air Force, and it is normal that such an effect can be achieved."

Kiyoji Sato said: "But I always feel that things are a bit abnormal, which is too abnormal."

As soon as he finished speaking, a continuous explosion occurred on the bank of the river ahead. A series of explosions occurred on the bank of the front river more than one kilometer long, which was carried out by the 1st Infantry Battalion to the 55th Infantry Regiment.

The smoke and dust generated by the explosion instantly covered half of the sky.

In amazement, Shiro Yamazaki almost fell back into the river from the landing craft.

Kiyoji Sato said even more angrily: "Captain of the regiment, I just said this is not normal. Look, the Chinese army has indeed buried landmines on the shore. If I had known this, the engineers should have been allowed to go ashore first!"

"Engineers go ashore first?" Yamazaki Shiro naturally would not admit his mistake and said with a dark face, "Sato, don't you think the rifle in the hands of the Chinese army is a fire stick? If the engineers go ashore first, will they not fire the minesweeping operation? You are simply delusional."

Kiyoji Sato said: "Just now, there were very few Chinese troops on the shore, and their firepower was even weaker. The machine gun firepower of the landing craft was enough to implement firepower suppression, and the safety of the engineers was sufficient."

"Baga, you are Zhuge Liang in advance." Yamazaki Shiro said angrily, "Who can know that the Chinese army on the shore will have so few troops and their firepower will be so weak?"

After pausing, Shiro Yamazaki said again: "What's more, just a few landmines cannot stop the Imperial Army!"

As they spoke, the smoke and dust on the river bank gradually dissipated. When the two looked closely, they saw that more than a thousand Japanese soldiers from the 1st infantry battalion who had just arrived ashore were already bombed to pieces.

On the river bank, the bomb craters after the mines exploded are clearly visible, and smoke is still emitting outwards.

There are more craters left behind after the shelling of warships, naval guns. At the edges of these craters, there were corpses of Japanese soldiers, many of which were incomplete.

What filled my ears was the continuous wailing.

"Ahhh, my feet, who saw my feet?"

"Mom, I miss Mom, I don't want to die, I want to go home."

"Inouejun, Inouejun, you wake up and you can't sleep, don't sleep!"

"Medical soldier, where have the medical soldier been? Give me a first aid kit!"

"Kun Chuntian, hold on, it'll be fine right away. Please hold on anyway..."

Looking at the tragic scene on the shore, Yamazaki Shiro's face suddenly turned dark, damn it!

...

Top of a hill across the Salwin River.

Ishihara Kan's face also collapsed.

The 1st infantry brigade of Yamazaki United has been basically destroyed by this.

"Damn it!" Ishihara smiled angrily, "Zhong Yi, he is really tricky!"

"Sodes." Gu Dina Huaxiong said deeply, "Who could have imagined that the Chinese army did not deploy too many troops on the coastal defense positions of the Salwen River, but left a giant mine formation!"

...

A small hill beside Bang Town is surrounded by the observation post of the New 7th Division.

Seeing that the Japanese who had just arrived ashore were blown up, Gao Xianwen couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha, you did a pretty job!" Gao Xianwen laughed, "This time, you have to kill hundreds of Japanese devils. Chief Zhong's method is really effective!"

After pausing, Gao Xianwen shouted again: "Send the command!"

A messenger immediately ran to the top of the mountain and stood attentively and said, "Yes."

Gao Xianwen put his hands on his hips and ordered himself: "Notify the 9th Company that the main force of the Japanese devils should not abandon the city easily if they do not enter the city. Once the main force of the Japanese devils enters the city in large quantities, don't get too entangled with the Japanese devils. Take a few shots and evacuate. After the main force of the Japanese devils completely enters the city, blast it!"

"Yes!" The messenger hurried down the mountain.

...

Five minutes later, the 2nd Infantry Battalion, which was the second echelon, came ashore.

Shiro Yamazaki and Kiyoji Sato took the wing headquarters to the shore at the same time and built a temporary command center on the shore.

When the guards of the corps headquarters penetrated a few kilometers of surrounding areas like javelins, Kiyoji Sato finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart fell back into his stomach.

He was really worried that there would be ambushing by the National Army snipers on the shore.

Now it seems that his concerns are redundant, and there are no ambush by the National Army snipers on the shore.

At this time, the first batch of wounded soldiers from the 1st infantry brigade who came ashore had been treated, and the bodies of the dead soldiers had been gathered together.

After statistics, more than 100 imperial soldiers were broken on the spot.

In addition, more than 200 imperial soldiers were seriously injured, and even more were slightly injured.

In other words, the 1st infantry brigade has basically lost its combat effectiveness.

As soon as he fought, he was severely injured, and Shiro Yamazaki almost bit his teeth.

But Shiro Yamazaki is not a fool. After suffering a big loss, he became more energetic.

At that moment, Shiro Yamazaki said to the messenger: "Order, the 2nd Infantry Battalion should be vigilant and would rather advance slowly, especially in the Madaban Castle, and you must search carefully."

After receiving the order from Shiro Yamazaki, the 2nd Infantry Battalion immediately became cautious.

Not only did the advancement slow down, but the woods along the way were searched repeatedly, and even before searching, a wave of firepower reconnaissance was done without saying a word.

Searching Madaban City is even more cautious.

First, an infantry team was sent into the city to search.

The main force of the 2nd Infantry Battalion remained outside the city and did not move.

...

On the hills of Bang Town, the New 7th Division observation post is covered.

The chief of staff said in surprise: "The Japanese learned so quickly? The main force didn't even enter the city?"

"It's okay, the main force of the Japanese will have to enter the city sooner or later." Gao Xianwen snorted coldly and said, "The chief executive had expected the Japanese to do this, so I kept a company."

While speaking, fierce gunfire sounded in the city of Madaban.

Obviously, the 9th Company who stayed in the city had already caught fire with the Japanese search team.

The firefight lasted less than five minutes, and the group of Japanese who had entered the city had fled out of the city in a hurry.

However, there were less than ten left of the fifteen Japanese who had entered the city before, and the others had obviously been killed.

And it's not finished yet.

Less than ten Japanese left had just escaped from the city, and shadows of the Kuomintang soldiers appeared on the edge, holding rifles and firing continuously at the Japanese soldiers fleeing in panic.

This guy, the Japanese soldiers who fled in a hurry, became a living target.
