Chapter 942 Conquering this Land
Division Commander Feng Anmin stood on a command ship, closely following the progress of the landing operation through a telescope, constantly issuing orders and adjusting tactics.
"Second Regiment, immediately make a detour to the left and attack the enemy's flank!" Feng Anmin's order was like a compass on the battlefield, leading the soldiers towards victory.
"Armored units, concentrate your firepower to destroy the enemy's remaining firepower points!" He gave the order again, directing the tanks and armored vehicles to charge towards the enemy's remaining firepower points.
Under Feng Anmin's careful command, the soldiers of the 3rd Armored Division worked closely with the armored units, demonstrated strong coordinated combat capabilities, and advanced step by step towards the enemy positions.
On the sea, the battleships' artillery fire remained fierce. They continued to fire shells at enemy positions, providing strong support for the landing operation.
In the air, fighter jets roared past, constantly bombing and strafing enemy positions, further weakening the enemy's combat effectiveness.
Ichiro Matsumoto's eyes were bloodshot and his voice became hoarse from continuous roaring.
Despite the grim situation, he still tried to turn the tide of the battle through command and tactical adjustments.
"First Battalion, immediately build a temporary defense line to prevent the enemy's armored units from landing!" Ichiro Matsumoto shouted into the communicator with all his strength.
However, the execution of the order was far from what he wanted. When the First Battalion tried to build a defense line, the artillery fire of the Chinese Navy Fleet poured down like a rainstorm, turning their efforts into nothing.
At the same time, the armored units and tanks of the 3rd Armored Division had passed the pontoon bridge and began to establish beachhead positions on the beach. Their firepower was so fierce that Ichiro Matsumoto's soldiers could hardly resist.
"Second Battalion, support the First Battalion. Stop the enemy from landing at all costs!" Ichiro Matsumoto gave the order again, but his tone revealed a hint of helplessness and despair.
However, faced with the enemy's powerful firepower and overwhelming numerical advantage, the soldiers of the Second Battalion could only hold on with difficulty.
Their defense line was crumbling under the enemy's attack, and the number of casualties continued to rise. The faces of the soldiers were full of fear and despair. They saw no hope of winning, and their will to fight was gradually lost in the brutal battle.
"Commander, we can't hold on any longer. There are too many armored units on the other side!" A soldier reported to Ichiro Matsumoto through the communicator, his voice full of fear and despair.
Matsumoto Ichiro's heart sank when he heard this. He understood that this battle was beyond their capabilities.
He tried to turn the tide of the battle by adjusting tactics, but faced with such powerful firepower from the enemy, everything seemed so powerless.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat! Evacuate inland and seek cover!" Ichiro Matsumoto finally gave the order to retreat. He knew that if he persisted, more soldiers would die in vain.
However, the road to retreat was not smooth. Soldiers from the Chinese 3rd Armored Division were in hot pursuit, their tanks and armored vehicles roaring on the beach, forcing the retreating Fuso soldiers to have nowhere to escape. Ichiro Matsumoto and his men encountered many difficulties in their retreat, and they had to constantly change their routes to avoid being caught up by the enemy.
As the signs of defeat of the Aomori Marine Division became increasingly obvious, the division commander Feng Anmin stood on the deck of the command ship, his eyes sharp, closely observing the dynamics of the battlefield through a telescope.
The sea breeze blew across his face, but it failed to blow away the coldness in his heart.
He knew very well that this was the critical moment that would decide victory or defeat, and he must not give the enemy any chance to breathe.
"Signalman, contact the 17th Armored Brigade immediately and order them to pursue the enemy immediately and make sure to annihilate the enemy!" Feng Anmin's voice was steady and powerful, and every word revealed unquestionable authority. The 17th Armored Brigade, with its powerful mobility and firepower, was the best candidate to pursue the enemy.
"Yes, division commander!" The signalman responded quickly and immediately conveyed the order to the commander of the 17th Armored Brigade.
At the same time, Feng Anmin turned his attention to the battlefield on the other side, where the 42nd Motorized Infantry Brigade was moving between the enemy and us at an astonishing speed, using its mobility advantage to gradually form an encirclement of the enemy. He nodded secretly, expressing his satisfaction with the flexible deployment of the 42nd Motorized Infantry Brigade.
"Signalman, contact the 42nd Motorized Infantry Brigade again and tell them to use the existing terrain and mobility to form an encirclement as quickly as possible and never let any enemy escape!" Feng Anmin gave the order again.
"Yes, division commander! Convey it immediately!" The signalman responded quickly again and conveyed the order to the commander of the 42nd Motorized Infantry Brigade.
Under the careful command of Feng Anmin, the 17th Armored Brigade and the 42nd Motorized Infantry Brigade quickly launched operations. The tanks and armored vehicles of the 17th Armored Brigade were like a steel torrent, chasing along the coastline and continuously compressing the retreating enemy. Their artillery fire was fierce and accurate, and every shell landed on the enemy's escape route, effectively slowing down the enemy's retreat.
The 42nd Motorized Infantry Brigade used its motorized advantage to quickly penetrate the enemy's rear and formed a pincer attack with the 17th Armored Brigade. Their soldiers were agile and used the terrain and obstacles for cover to continuously launch surprise attacks on the enemy, tearing apart the enemy's defense line step by step.
"Report to the division commander, the 17th Armored Brigade has successfully intercepted the enemy's main force and is in the process of annihilating them!" The signalman brought the good news. After hearing this, Feng Anmin couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
"Report to the division commander, the 42nd Motorized Infantry Brigade has formed an encirclement and the enemy has no way to escape!" Then, another piece of good news came, and Feng Anmin's mood became even more excited.
Under Feng Anmin's precise command and the close cooperation between the two forces, the defeat of the Aomori Marine Division was inevitable. They were completely surrounded and lost any possibility of escape.
An hour later, when the last wisp of smoke dissipated, the battle was finally over.
The entire coastline, from the beach to the inland area 12 kilometers deep, was shrouded in the shadow of war. The once peaceful beach was now in ruins, with traces of battle everywhere. The bodies of Fuso soldiers were piled up in a mess, with broken limbs scattered all over the ground, blood flowing like a river, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
In this land, most of the Fuso soldiers had lost the will to resist and became prisoners of the 3rd Armored Division.
They knelt on the ground trembling, holding their heads in their hands, their eyes filled with fear and despair, waiting for the unknown verdict. The few enemies who resisted to the end were killed one by one by the soldiers of the 3rd Armored Division.
Feng Anmin finally set foot on the land of Aomori Prefecture in person. He was wearing a neat military uniform, with his shoulder straps shining brightly in the sun. He looked at the land baptized by war with a sharp gaze, his heart filled with the joy and pride of victory.
"Report to the division commander, the 17th Armored Brigade has completed its mission, the Fuso Aomori Division has been completely destroyed, and the supreme commander Ichiro Matsumoto has also been killed in battle." Li Manen, commander of the 17th Armored Brigade, quickly walked up to Feng Anmin and saluted respectfully.
Feng Anmin nodded with satisfaction and patted Li Manen on the shoulder as a reward.
Feng Anmin took a deep breath and looked into the distance: "From the moment we landed, we were destined to conquer this land. This is our mission and our honor."
