"Beep be ...—!"
Landmines were everywhere, with no more than half a meter between them.
"Baka!"
"Don't move—!!!"
A Japanese soldier screamed in terror, grabbed a detector, and slowly squatted down to dig.
He was terrified because only he knew how many landmines were buried nearby, and even if he dug here for his entire life, he probably wouldn't be able to dig them all out.
The remaining Japanese soldiers were so frightened by the sudden turn of events that their legs went weak, and they all lay prostrate on the sand.
In that instant, all the Japanese soldiers turned pale, trembled all over, and a stench of urine filled the air.
They fear death, but they are even more terrified of the unknown.
This is the most terrifying aspect of war: you never know what's buried beneath your feet.
"Da da da da da da da—!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang-!!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!!"
The defenders began firing, a dense barrage of fire raining down, each spent shell casing landing on the sand and sparking.
The Japanese soldiers screamed and cried out in agony as they frantically tried to escape, but were relentlessly pursued and attacked by the defending troops, making it impossible for them to get away.
"Ah—Baka yarou!"
"Help me—it hurts so much—!"
"I want to go back... Ah—!"
"Don't run away—!"
"It's full of landmines!!!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!!!!!!!!!"
The explosions grew louder and louder, accompanied by the shrill screams of the Japanese soldiers and sprays of blood.
In just a few minutes, the division of more than 10,000 men was lost by more than half, and the remaining Japanese soldiers fled in disarray.
"Quickly! Retreat!!!"
"Quickly! Retreat!!!"
"Mom—help me—"
In this situation, whoever is in command is bound to lose; the only thing they can do is run for their lives.
"Report! The Japanese fleet is sweeping our mines outside!"
"Oh?" Lin Feng frowned slightly and said, "Immediately mobilize the artillery to prepare to attack them!"
"yes!!!"
All the heavy artillery on the island was aimed at the Japanese minesweepers outside. The gun barrels glowed red, and then thousands of shells roared towards the ships. The shells smashed the hulls and blasted the Japanese soldiers on board into dust.
"BOOM!!!!"
"Splash—!"
A Japanese destroyer exploded, sending huge waves dozens of meters high!
"Baka!"
"Damn it! How do they have so many heavy artillery pieces?"
"This can't go on. We must end this operation as soon as possible, or our fleet will be in danger!"
With no other option, the Japanese fleet commander had to order a retreat.
To prevent such a thing from happening again, Lin Feng decisively divided the guards into three shifts, so that someone could watch over them 24 hours a day and deal with any problems immediately.
As time went by, May 24, May 25, May 26... more than ten days passed. On June 10, the Japanese high command wanted to wear down the defending troops on the island, but their ammunition seemed to be endless and showed no signs of stopping!
This put pressure on the Japanese high command, and they also realized that this was an extremely solid military fortress that could not be shaken at all.
From May 20 to June 10, in less than a month, they lost 15 divisions, suffering a total loss of 270,000 men.
This doesn't even include the losses suffered by ordinary people. According to statistics, at least twenty cities were bombed, countless houses and factories collapsed, hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured, and millions more were displaced or even starved.
The absence of factories producing weapons and ammunition indirectly led to a shortage of one-fifth of the strategic materials on the front lines.
This is absolutely a catastrophe!
The Japanese high command was furious, but helpless to escape their predicament. They could only watch as their elite troops, which they had painstakingly trained, were wiped out one by one on this isolated island.
Finally, having no other choice, they had to relocate all the civilians and factories within a 100-kilometer radius, and then leave a few divisions nearby to learn from the National League Army how to dig trenches and fight positional warfare.
Both sides fell silent.
Only V-shaped missiles were being launched into the sky; who they killed was entirely a matter of luck.
