In the afternoon, the defense finally launched a reprisal, and it was the Newland Army.
After hours of fierce combat, the landing forces managed to stabilize the beachhead with the support of the fire support fleet and began to advance inland.
To be precise, they had established a defensive line around the perimeter of the landing zone.
In fact, there were already signs at that time that there were definitely more than 100 Newland military personnel on Sai Island because by that afternoon, hundreds of enemies had appeared.
Unfortunately, no one became vigilant.
In the evening, Major General Tu Zhangang, the overall commander of the Marine Corps, asked Lieutenant Colonel Tong Mingbo, the frontline commander of the Marine Corps, whether it was necessary to send more troops ashore at night and to keep the fire support fleet in place, postponing the resupply of ammunition to the following morning.
