The fire preparation prior to the landing had lasted a total of six days, which was four days less than the planned time. On the morning of November 10, the Marine Corps launched the amphibious assault.
The chosen landing site was neither Nara Fortress nor to the south of the fortress, but rather to the north of it.
This was an extremely bold, equally unexpected tactical decision.
At its core, Jibu Fortress was actually a military port, or rather, it was built around a bay, similar to Verdun or Liege, it had fully transitioned into a group of comprehensive ground fortresses. Starting from the fortress's outermost defense line, stretching over ten kilometers inland lay the vast East Xuan Plateau.
North of the fortress was the Mand Strait, and to the south was the Somali Peninsula, bordering Aden Bay and the Mua Sea.
For the attacking side, there were actually not many choices.
