The scenery of Diaomen Island is beautiful. The top ten most beautiful islands are not just exaggerated. Anyone who comes to Diaomen Island for the first time will be shocked by the scenery here.

When the Marines deployed their defenses, they did not destroy the scenery near the beach.

So when the landing craft moved towards Diaomen Island, the water was so clear that you could see the red coral on the seabed at a glance.

Colorful tropical fish swim in the corals, and seagulls fly around the landing craft full of soldiers.

The temperature in Diaomen Island in December is suitable, the sea breeze is still gentle, and the sunshine is so warm that it makes people sleepy.

How could such an environment be associated with a bloody battlefield? For Japanese soldiers, this was simply a tourist attraction.

In Diaomen Island in the 21st century, there are wooden houses full of tropical scenery on the beach.

Not in this era.

In order to clear the shooting boundary, there were not even any stones on the beach and all the trees were cleared. Therefore, even if the Japanese troops landed wanted to, it would be difficult to build a complete beachhead position in a short time.

Then let's make a tentative attack first.

The number of Japanese troops participating in the attack was about one squadron, about 200 people.

Japan's army organization is composed of detachments, squads, squadrons, groups, regiments, and divisions. The squadron is roughly equivalent to the company level in southern Africa. Here the Japanese started to play tricks. Although they are also companies, Japan's "company"

"But it has more troops than the companies in southern Africa.

The 18th Division had just captured Kuantan and its morale was at its peak.

A series of victories shattered the myth of the European and American armies, and even the evaluation of the southern African army continued to decline.

As for East India

The East India Force is a servant army in southern Africa, with the same status as the Anglo-Indian Army in the British Army and the Philippine Army in the US Army.

Looking at the performance of the British, Indian and Philippine troops in the Malay Campaign and the Philippine Campaign, the Japanese army was not here to fight at all, but to receive captured supplies.

During this period, the Japanese army was at an unprecedented peak in terms of experience and morale.

One thing about Japan is amazing. The top brass of the military often make strategic mistakes that they shouldn't make, but the quality of grassroots officers is not low. During this period, the Japanese army still had quite a large proportion of veterans, and their combat effectiveness was very strong.

Under the command of a Japanese officer, a squadron of Japanese soldiers formed a battle formation and began to advance toward the interior of Diaomen Island.

Less than 500 meters in front of them, the officers and soldiers of the 15th East India Division in the bunker were ready for battle. Their weapons included semi-automatic rifles, general-purpose machine guns, high-level dual-purpose machine guns, anti-tank guns, mortars, and automatic grenade launchers.
