Chapter 914 Landing on Shimane
The flagship of the North Sea Third Fleet, the Feixue, was like a giant beast ready to go, sailing steadily on the rough sea.
On the bridge, Zheng Zeyu, wearing a neat military uniform, stood in front of the command desk, his eyes fixed on the gradually clearing horizon ahead. There, the outline of Izumo Port was already looming, indicating that they were about to step into this land full of unknowns and challenges.
"Attention, all ships. The port of Izumo is ahead. Our goal is within reach!" Zheng Zeyu's voice was clearly transmitted throughout the fleet through the communication equipment. "All officers and soldiers, immediately enter combat status, check equipment, and ensure that everything is safe. Our mission is to complete the landing operation in the shortest time and at the lowest cost, and seize control of Izumo Port!"
As Zheng Zeyu's order was issued, the bridge suddenly became busy. Various instructions meshed with each other like precise gears, pushing the entire fleet towards its target.
Zheng Zeyu did not stop. He turned to the aviation commander beside him and said, "Order the aircraft carrier formation to immediately send out carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft to conduct an all-round and comprehensive investigation of Izumo Port. We need to know the enemy's exact deployment, including troop distribution, defensive fortifications, and possible counterattacks. Intelligence is the key to our strategy and victory in battle!"
The aviation commander quickly received the order and immediately issued instructions to the aircraft carrier formation through the communication system. Soon, several carrier-based reconnaissance planes roared into the air, like eagles spreading their wings, cutting through the sky and swooping straight towards Chuyun Port.
On the bridge, Zheng Zeyu's eyes never left the sea that was about to become a battlefield.
Every second that followed was crucial. He not only had to consider how to land quickly and effectively, but also had to be fully prepared for possible enemy counterattacks. Therefore, he constantly communicated with commanders of various departments, adjusted the tactical layout, and ensured that every link could be closely connected to form an impeccable combat system.
Time passed by minute by minute, and carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft successively sent back detailed information about Izumo Port.
Zheng Zeyu made a quick judgment based on the intelligence and issued another order: "All landing forces, adjust the landing plan according to the latest intelligence. I ask you to maintain a high degree of coordination while giving full play to your respective advantages to ensure the smooth progress of the landing operation. Remember, our goal is not only to occupy Izumo Port, but also to win a beautiful victory here and scare the enemy!"
The voice of Zhao Bin, the captain of the reconnaissance team, was clearly transmitted to the bridge of the Feixue through the encrypted channel: "Report to the commander, after our thorough aerial reconnaissance, there is currently no sign of any enemy activity in the port of Izumo. Important facilities such as coastal defense artillery have either been dismantled or severely damaged. The entire port seems to have been abandoned."
This news was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and the atmosphere on the bridge suddenly became subtle.
Zheng Zeyu frowned when he heard this, and quickly exchanged glances with Gu Chenghai and several other senior commanders beside him, and started an urgent tactical discussion.
"It seems that our fleet's firepower has indeed given the enemy a great shock." Zheng Zeyu said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with brilliance, "Chief of Staff Gu, what do you think? Is the enemy's move a strategic retreat, or is there another conspiracy?"
Gu Chenghai pondered for a moment and analyzed: "From the intelligence, the enemy may have evaluated our maritime strength and believed that there was no chance of winning a head-on confrontation, so they chose to abandon the port. But we cannot rule out that this is the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy deep into our territory, deliberately setting a trap to lure us into a passive position after landing."
"I agree with Chief of Staff Gu's opinion." Another commander added, "However, no matter what the enemy plans, we cannot stop. I think we should continue to be vigilant and speed up landing preparations. Once the port is confirmed to be safe, we will immediately carry out landing operations to seize the initiative."
Zheng Zeyu nodded: "Very good, this is the judgment and action we need. Since the enemy has voluntarily given up the port, we will follow the trend, but we must not take it lightly. I order all ships to continue to maintain combat alert, and send special operations teams to land in advance to conduct further searches and confirmation of the port. After ensuring safety, the main force will immediately launch a landing operation and must control the entire port area as quickly as possible."
As Zheng Zeyu's order was issued, the staff on the bridge became busy again, and various instructions were passed on like flowing water. The Feixue and its formation continued to approach Izumo Port according to the predetermined plan, and the special operations team was ready to carry out this crucial reconnaissance and occupation mission.
The members of the special operations team shuttled through the abandoned port like ghosts, leaving no corner untouched, their figures looming in the ruins and shadows.
After a thorough search and confirmation, the captain of the special operations team once again sent a positive message back to the bridge of the Feixue through the encrypted channel: "Command, after a comprehensive search, there is indeed no trace of enemy forces in the port, and all facilities have lost their combat effectiveness. It is recommended that you can land safely."
After receiving this news, Zheng Zeyu's tense nerves relaxed slightly, his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle, and he quickly made the next decision.
"The troop transport is approaching the coast, preparing to launch a landing operation! All troops must follow the landing plan strictly in regiment units to ensure a swift and orderly operation!"
As Zheng Zeyu's order resounded through the bridge like thunder, the entire fleet came alive in an instant.
Troop carriers began to adjust their course and slowly approached the offshore area. On their decks, the soldiers were ready to go, with high morale. At the same time, a spectacular scene appeared on the sea - sturdy floating bridges were quickly built under the intense work of technicians. They were like bridges of life, connecting the troop carriers with the land that was about to be conquered.
After the pontoon bridge was built, without any pause, the heavy equipment began to rumble and headed towards the unknown battlefield.
Trucks, tanks, armored vehicles and other heavy units, like a steel torrent, passed through the pontoon bridge and landed steadily on the land of the port.
Every step these war beasts move exudes a terrifying power, announcing their arrival.
During the landing process, the various troops showed amazing tacit understanding and coordination.
Commanders continuously transmit commands and information through efficient communication systems to ensure that every link is seamlessly connected.
The soldiers strictly followed the orders and deployed their forces quickly according to the established tactics. Some were responsible for cover, while others were responsible for advancement. The entire landing operation was like a sophisticated war machine, operating efficiently and orderly.
