The Japanese army on Yongzong Island was also uncomfortable. Although Nishio Shouta built a road made of trees, because the attack surface was too narrow, the Sit army could easily block the pontoon bridge of trees, making it difficult for them to rush to the beach. These Japanese soldiers were also attacked by the rising sea water. The pontoon bridge was sucked in mud and water and it was difficult for them to float to the water in a short time. Now the Japanese army attacking now needs to wade through the sea water soaked in the calf.

The commanders at all levels of the Japanese army knew very well that they had no more time. If they could still not take the landing grounds of Yuewei Island and Incheon Port before the fleet of subsequent troops arrived, the sneak attack would have to end in failure.

In order to achieve victory, commanders at all levels of the Japanese army were asked to command the battle on the front line. They held the command knife in their hands and led the soldiers to charge, trying to use their so-called spiritual power to crush the will of the defenders. Unfortunately, the Second Baikal Division was not a soft persimmon. This powerful brigade led by Lin Yurong had enough experience to deal with the reckless charge.

The sharpshooters in each squad were considered to be fucked, and they specialized in shooting at those Japanese dressed in special clothes. As a result, those middle and lower-level Japanese officers were often killed by the sharpshooters halfway through the way. The large number of casualties of the officers made the Japanese army more inflexible. Several brigade commanders had to promote officers on the front line, which avoided possible military chaos.

However, the casualties of officers were getting worse and worse, and many sergeants even advanced to become squadron captains or even brigade commanders. These people lacked experience in leading troops, but they were already the best personnel that several brigade commanders could find. It was obvious that relying on these people to command the troops was obviously not reliable enough. When they led the team to launch a charge, many attacking teams even appeared to be disconnected. The Sit army seized the chaos of the opponent and used machine gun fire to slam the opponent's morale. The Japanese army's attack became weaker and weaker, but the changes from the sea became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Just over half an hour after the submarine force annihilated the merchant fleet, a small fleet of three old Jiujiang-class cruisers and six destroyers arrived here. This fleet is also affiliated with the Eastern Continental Fleet, and they belong to the Huangdao Squadron. Originally, the mission of this cruise fleet was to patrol the Yellow Sea area and carry out a sentry mission to the Japanese direction, but unexpectedly, it caught up with a battle today.

After receiving the emergency telegram from Incheon Port, the nearest small fleet set sail. After asking the headquarters for instructions through the telegram, they were ordered to go to support Incheon Port. Because it was necessary to cross more than 200 nautical miles north of the Yellow Sea, the fleet did not arrive until this time, but it was enough to arrive at this time.

Because the tide had begun to rise, the shallow-draft cruisers and destroyers were able to approach Incheon Port first and operate against the Japanese army. The six 65-diameter 203-mm main guns on the Jiujiang-class cruiser were just small tubes of self-defense in the naval sequence, but they were indeed rare heavy artillery in the eyes of the army.

When more than a dozen such heavy artillery suddenly showed their power and launched artillery attacks on the Japanese army from the sea, the faces of several Japanese army commanders were pale. They knew that failure was destined. Since the fleet of the Site Army came here, Lin Xianjuro's guard division must be in danger.

The retreat was cut off, and the Japanese army had no chance of survival. Several brigade commanders were aroused by fierceness. They personally led the troops to launch a tireless cluster charge. The Japanese soldiers were fearless and were unmoved to face the muzzle of the machine gun. The Sit army encountered dangers one after another.

Fortunately, the gap in weapons was not comparable to the number of people and mental strength. When several garrisons approached and launched a assault on the 19th Brigade of the Japanese Army with small caliber artillery, these Japanese soldiers were already in desperate situations. On Yuewei Island, the machine gun fire of Guo Chao's troops and the bombardment of destroyers and guns, the 19th Brigade was quickly lost. The dense artillery fire from the navy and the army caused the Japanese soldiers who blew up their horses and overturned their bodies and flesh to cover most of the land on the island, and the blood dyed the water surface within several nautical miles around them red.

The crisis on Yuewei Island was resolved, but the Japanese army on Yongzong Island was difficult to destroy. After seeing the tragic situation of the 19th Brigade, the Japanese army on Yongzong Island hid in civil fortifications. The shelling of Yuewei Island had consumed most of the ammunition of the naval fleet. In addition, there were rapids near Yongzong Island, so they could not get close to shooting, so the fleet could only bombard the main gun at a long range. After two hours of shelling, their ammunition was exhausted and they had to turn around and return.

The Japanese army on Yongzong Island had lost their enterprising spirit and would never launch an attack again. However, senior generals such as Hata Shunruo were foresighted and dug a large number of civil fortifications on the island in advance, enough to resist the crazy artillery attacks of the garrison. The Japanese soldiers hid in positions, and the command center even hid behind Baiyun Mountain, which was a dead corner of the Site army artillery, which was difficult to cause real damage. Lin Yurong knew that his ammunition was not sufficient, so he gave up continuing the attack on Yongzong Island. He planned to surround him and waited for the other party to run out of food. The two sides were in a stalemate at Incheon Port.

The Sit army also surrounded Vladivostok and Busan without fighting, but only used bombers to attack with incendiary bombs every day. Faced with the absolute air superiority of the Sit army, the Japanese army could only passively be beaten and ready to put out the fire at any time. Over the past few days, the regular incendiary bombing of the Sit army has given the Japanese army a lot of experience.

Often, the fire brigades in the city were on standby before the air strikes arrived. After the incendiary bombs landed, the firefighters would arrive as soon as possible. They used iron shovels to shovel the sand to bury napkin to prevent them from burning when they came into contact with the air. Although this approach was very passive, it greatly reduced the losses of Japan. They seemed to have become robots, mechanically performing the same work every day.

The vitality of Vladivostok and Busan was slowly exhausted under such frequent bombings, but Lushun had a different scene. Without the help of the Air Force and the Navy, the Fengtian army, whose army was not very well-deserved, surrounded Lushun. They wanted to conquer this strong city with their flesh and blood to avenge the deceased old general Zhang Zuolin.
