+: Guangchen and others were also extremely depressed - it was really a bit tricky to actually develop into this situation.

"The Chinese tone was very tough, and even threatened us to bear all the consequences." Kato's face couldn't tell whether it was laughing or crying, but his anger was overwhelming. "This is absolutely unbearable."

"This is at best a Chinese bluff, but where to land, it needs to be carefully considered." The waves outside Shandong were still calm, otherwise it would be a terrible thing. Facing the Shandong map in the conference room on the ship, he was obviously hesitant - this is quite close to the outside world's judgment of his personality.

"From the combat perspective, it is a relatively wise move to encircle directly from the two flanks of Jiaozhou Bay and avoid the firepower of the fort, but..." Shenwei focused on it with a pencil. "First, this is the area where the Chinese army is focused on the deployment. Although the combat effectiveness of the Chinese people is quite suspicious, it is a hidden danger after all. Secondly, from the perspective of terrain and situation, it is not suitable for landing operations here. Let's not talk about anything else, it is not ideal for tidal flats alone, and the transport ship must anchor from a distance..."

"This is a problem." Kato also had a headache. The difficulty of amphibious landing was not that people went ashore but that equipment and supplies could go ashore with each other. When the war had developed to modern times, troops without logistics support could not win the battle at all.

"Report, a reply from the base camp."

"Use a landing in Laoshan Bay as a feint and restraint, and use the main force to land in Longkou, Shandong..." Kato muttered the telegram and handed it to Kamio casually, "The instructions from the base camp are still in time."

"Since there is a clear order, it can only be followed." In fact, this plan is not new. When the Army was mobilizing, the General Staff Headquarters had already made an excuse to the Holy Ho, including how to deal with the problem of land when the frontal attack cannot be opened. It was just that there was always a gap between the Army and the Navy, and the Army had to express its true situation before the Navy was ugly.

"It's really hateful." Kato cursed in his heart, but he smiled, "Kato, then we are ready to follow the execution?"

A day later, the Japanese-British combined fleet in the northern part of Laoshan Bay was filled with darkness again, and the traces of yesterday's fire exchange could be clearly seen on many ships. In order to maximize the deterrence to the Chinese army, these ships were forced to "go on the battlefield with injuries". Kato has promised his men that once the landing is completed, the damaged ships are allowed to return to Dalian immediately for maintenance...

"His Excellency Commander, the front guide sent a signal. There is nothing unusual about the beach. Please allow logging in!"

"Okay, you can log in." Kato laughed loudly. "The Chinese army, which is as timid as a mouse, has indeed retreated!"

Under the clear command of the flagship, shallow water ships loaded with army soldiers and equipment sailed towards the beach. The terrain of this beach is wide, the terrain is flat, and the water in the water opposite the ground is also not shallow. At the time of a small tide, shallow water ships can always transport personnel to enemies around the beach.

The Japanese soldiers jumped out of the boat with rifles in their hands. The blood-red plaster flag was particularly exciting under the sunlight. In order to show their value of existence, the British army also sent their own candidates in the first batch of landing troops. Although the number was not large, the huge rice-shaped flag was still clearly visible. Although the landing scene was very relaxed, the Shenwei was not entrusted. They strictly followed the requirements of "felt attack" and "restraint", and only arranged a large troop of troops to land, and only brought simple logistics supplies and light weapons, and there was no artillery - the Shenwei landing command was very simple. Go in, occupy the beach, consolidate the position, and attract attention. Don't rush to fight.

As for him and the main force of the division, he would rush to Longkou with the large fleet.

What a timid guy! - Kato looked down on Kamio a little, but it was inconvenient to attack. At noon, the main force of the huge fleet turned northwest and prepared to rush to the new destination.

Did the Imperial Wehrmacht really retreat?

No, in order to avoid the killing of ship gun fire, the troops arranged a small number of observers, all of them evacuated the beachhead positions, and successfully created the illusion that the National Defense Force had escaped. In fact, from the first moment the Japanese landed, intelligence had been continuously transmitted to the command center.

"Continue to monitor, don't act rashly! Let the enemy taste the power of landmines first!"

When the National Defense Forces were preparing for anti-logination, they had previously laid a large number of minefields in Jiaozhou Bay and the beach near Laoshan Bay under the name of "exercise".

There was a general guiding principle when the arrangement was made. Any landmines suitable for landing and laying on landing should be multiple models and types of mines together. Of course, the front-line troops had long been careful when laying mines. The publicly marked minefields may not be the real minefield. There were only three real and complete minefield distribution maps, all of which were listed as the highest secrets to guard. The commanders of each defensive position only had the distribution map on the front of the unit, which was complete and effective. It was such a maze array. The front-line troops had created many articles ingeniously. Taking advantage of the heavy rain and typhoons, the signs that were already blurry became more confused and were inserted into the ground crookedly. The wind blew over and was shaking. Who knew when they would be buried in the soil? The people nearby knew that they were powerful and they all escaped from afar. The Japanese knew that they were details, and they rushed up in a confused way.

The beach near Laoshan Bay is relatively ideal and is a good "place" for landing, so it is the area where the National Defense Forces use the deepest force and the most developed minefield. It is completely arranged with traps waiting for the prey to take the hook. The layout of the minefield is very interesting. The open sand near the beachfront position is buried with explosives and electric shock mines. It will never explode without manual triggering. It is known as the No. 1 minefield. Its advantages are convenience, controllability, dense layout, and powerful. The strength is strong and there will be no accidental injury. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and it is difficult to build. The second is the minefield No. 2, which has various trip, pressure, and chain minefields arranged in a slightly smaller density, but due to the large distribution area, the absolute number is not small. The minefields No. 3 have smaller mine density and are mainly trenched, in order to exert pressure on the opponent's already fragile psychology, and use panic and suspicious emotions to maximize the speed of the enemy's advance.

Although the task assigned by Kanwei to the Mishima Brigade was only to "consolidate" the beachhead position, for the Japanese who were eager to make contributions and were extremely arrogant, the word "consolidation" is equivalent to attack - no matter how you have to defeat the Chinese army, it is considered to be consolidation. Therefore, after the troops were arranged, the brigade leader Mishima led his men to advance in depth and towards death.

As the subsequent troops landed one after another, the Japanese vanguard troops, which had already scattered in a scattered formation, rushed over under the leadership of several officers and soon reached the edge of the No. 2 minefield. Perhaps the safety of crossing No. 1 minefield numbed their mentality. At the beginning, they were a little cautious, and the careful Japanese became more and more rampant. Not only did the advancement formation begin to scatter, but the posture also changed from the original bent over and arched back to a straight forward.

"Report to the sir, there is a sign here!"

"Hmm?" When the Japanese Lieutenant saw that the wooden sign was stuck crookedly, and there were still four big characters on it: "Land Mine! Danger!"

"Baga!" The Japanese officer's forehead rushes, and he takes out his command knife and slashes hard at the wooden sign. With a roar, the cut-off wooden sign triggers a fuse. The Japanese officer was blown to pieces on the spot, and half of his skin was torn off, and his eyes also took the shrapnel.

With a shout, the mine formation suddenly exploded, and explosions came one after another. 20 Japanese devils became victims, and those who survived were already filled with fear. Some people wanted to rescue their injured companions, but after taking two steps, they triggered mines and rumbling again. They were determined to withdraw from this area, but they were still in a panic and could not avoid the call of mines... After a lot of trouble, there were nearly 50 wounded people of all sizes, and one of them opened the way [.: Reimbursed, which made the National Defense Force observers who had been observing secretly happy.

At this time, Mishima behind was still leading a large group of people to continue advancing. He heard the explosion in front, and groaned everywhere in the officer's telescope, and bloody scenes of wounded people were everywhere. A faint layer of smoke was shrouded in the yellow sand near the beach. Landmines! Mishima immediately determined the situation, and it was certainly a minefield of the Chinese people.

"Damn Chinese!" His face suddenly turned into a pig's liver. The troops behind him were at a loss. They neither advanced nor retreated. They just listened to the moans and screams in front of them.

But the Japanese army didn't know that they had penetrated into the No. 1 minefield...
