Chapter 1053 – Iron Defense Line
As an island nation, Japan had close to hundred ports in total. 70% of these were gathered in Honshu.
In comparison, the number of ports near Hokkaido were sparser and even fewer were suitable for the army to disembark and fight. Along with the geographical position and combat planning, all that remained was the port of Kushiro on the east, Rumoi Port on the west as well as Port of Tomakomai on the south side.
Oda Nobunaga knew this too.
Before the country war began, Sanli City spent a lot of effort to build up many defenses at the ports.
Keisuke Honda really went all out.
Before the country war began, he ordered the demolishment of the port and the use of torpedoes to lock down the bay such that the Great Xia squadron could not even enter the port and had to disembark on the beaches on the two sides.
