"Commander, why don't we just carry out a landing operation in the Bay of Tonkin? Now that the Japanese troops stationed in the harbor have been completely defeated by us, we can even land from here and go all the way to Tokyo. "McHausen's order puzzled his staff officers, who did not understand why McHausen would give up the great opportunity to land in Tokyo Bay at this time, and besides, the city of Tokyo was not very far from Tokyo Bay.www.biquge.info
Turning around and glancing at the staff officers under him, McHausen smiled indifferently, "I know what you're thinking, this is not very far from the city of Tokyo, maybe we only need a little force after landing, and we can directly enter the city of Tokyo." But have you ever thought about the reaction of the Japanese army? This is Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and the Japanese will never sit idly by and watch us go all the way from Tokyo Bay into the city. ”
"The madness of the Japanese is still fresh in my memory, when I was in the Philippines, the Japanese army often dared to chase hundreds of allied troops with a squad of less than 100 people. The mission of our fleet is only to carry out strong attacks and harassment in the Bay of Tonkin, and I don't want the soldiers in the fleet to be frantically besieged by the Japanese, who are dozens or more than 100 times our strength when they come ashore. Gentlemen, remember that you are soldiers, and soldiers should obey orders. ”
McHausen quietly taught his staff officers, but in fact, deep down, he valued these young staff officers under him very much. This was what McHausen personally told him before he received the order to rush to Tokyo Bay. Zhuo Fei's use of the temporary fleet to storm Tokyo Bay was actually just to attract the attention of the Japanese army in the central and eastern parts of Honshu Island, but Zhuo Fei's real intention was to take this opportunity to land in Mie Prefecture.
Tokyo Bay was attacked by force, and the Japanese cabinet that learned the news was collectively in chaos, didn't it mean that the squadron ** team was still fighting with the imperial ** team at the junction of Yamaguchi Prefecture and Hiroshima Prefecture? Why did this suddenly come and attack Tokyo Bay? Could it be that the other party wants to forcibly land in Tokyo Bay and then take Tokyo City directly? The Japanese troops in the central and eastern parts of the entire Honshu Island were then mobilized, and a large number of Japanese troops rushed to the front line of Tokyo Bay, preparing to resist the squadron that was about to land in Tokyo Bay.
"Okay...."Zhuo Fei, who received the telegram from the temporary fleet, was ecstatic in his heart, and directly punched the table in front of him, shouting excitedly. The temporary fleet attacking Tokyo Bay, which was heavily defended by the Japanese army, was actually just Zhuo Fei's false shot, he just wanted to use the temporary fleet to attack Tokyo Bay to attract the attention of the Japanese army in Honshu, and his real purpose was to use the Dangkou army to land in Mie Prefecture.
"Boss, what's next, it's time for us to appear, right?" Wang Han, the chief of staff of the Dangkou Army, asked Zhuo Fei with an expectant face, in order to get the order for the Dangkou Army to attack, he waited in Zhuo Fei's headquarters early in the morning.
"Tell Huang Chengye that the Dangkou Army can start moving. In addition, in order to ensure the smooth landing of your Bandar army, the flying unit will provide you with air fire support at that time. Zhuo Fei nodded to Wang Han, and then called Chen Shaokuan, the commander of the Second Fleet, who was also waiting in the command headquarters, to his side and admonished. Although your Second Fleet is inferior in scale to the Temporary Fleet, you will also participate in this landing battle and provide accurate artillery strikes to the landing force at any time. ”
This was a tactic developed after careful consideration by Zhuo Fei, using a temporary fleet to attack Tokyo Bay to attract the attention of Japanese troops in central and eastern Honshu, and then under the cover of the Second Fleet and the flying team, the Dangkou army returning to Shikoku Island carried out the landing. Mie Prefecture is located in the middle of Honshu Island, and only by going north along Mie Prefecture can completely cut off the connection between the east and west ends of Honshu Island, adding to the pressure on the already anxious Japanese government.
A number of temporary airfields had already been built on Shikoku Island, and the British flying unit that Sir James had promised to borrow had also arrived on Shikoku Island two days ago. Tokyo Bay was under attack, and the Japanese troops deployed in the central and eastern parts of Honshu Island were rapidly moving to the Tokyo line according to Zhuo Fei's intentions, and at this moment, the Dangkou Army, which had already been ready to attack, was heading towards Mie Prefecture, where the Japanese army had been greatly reduced, on a transport ship escorted by four warships of the Second Fleet.
Hideki Tojo and the Japanese cabinet did not think that the Provisional Fleet's attack on Tokyo Bay was just a false shot, and by the time they learned that the Dangkou Army, which had retreated to Shikoku Island, was attacking Mie Prefecture, the Japanese defensive positions in Mie Prefecture were already in shambles. In the face of the strong blows of white phosphorus bombs and large cloud burst bombs, the Japanese troops in Mie County could only resist to the death.
Soon, not long after the formation of fighters returning from victory disappeared from the sight of the Japanese troops on the ground, the Second Fleet, which served as an escort, finally appeared in the sight of all the Japanese troops of the Mie Prefecture Coastal Defense Force. Although most of the heavy weapons on the Japanese shore defense positions in Mie Prefecture were destroyed, more than half of the thousands of defenders survived. And the only thing that the surviving Japanese army could do in the face of the harsh military law within the Japanese army was to scatter among the ruins, hold weapons, and quietly wait for the arrival of the Chinese landing force.
"It's coming...."The four battleships of the Second Fleet, the large hulls, finally appeared clearly in the eyes of all the remnants of the Japanese army. Order the rest of the artillery to replace it with armor-piercing shells and give me a hard blow....Even if I can't destroy the warship of the Chinese people, I will damage it and block it in the harbor...."The Japanese commander ordered with a cold face at the moment.
A series of dull cannon sounds rang out, and one after another hot cannonballs flew out of the ruins and smashed towards the warships on the sea. Although these armor-piercing shells fired by the Japanese troops on the shore were all sharp weapons for fighting tanks, the thick armor of warships was not comparable to tanks at all. The explosion of the shells, in addition to blowing up white dots on the heavy equipment of the warship, not only did not have any results, but also angered the naval soldiers on the warship.
"*** little devil, small-caliber infantry artillery also dares to pull out and spread wild....tell the brothers, let the little devil on the opposite side taste what a cannon is...."The warship was attacked, and the captain Chen Shaokuan's face was instantly enveloped in anger, and he immediately ordered directly. In addition to the main guns, the remaining secondary guns will hit me hard, and cover the Japanese positions on the shore with artillery fire again....All suspicious locations, all of them will be bombarded by me...."Chen Shaokuan gave an order, and it took less than ten minutes for the four warships to use artillery fire to clean up the Japanese formations on the shore that were in ruins, and the final result was that the 5,000 Japanese troops stationed on the shore were sharply reduced to less than 2,000.
"Notify the infantry to start the landing, and all artillery fire is responsible for providing fire cover..."Seeing that the Japanese position, which had been completely shrouded in gunsmoke, Chen Shaokuan decisively ordered. In less than ten minutes, three large landing ships, carrying an entire infantry regiment, directly crossed the battleship and rushed towards the coast at full speed. Before the remnants of the Japanese troops on the coast could react, an armored vehicle spitting black smoke drove out of the landing ship's cabin and sailed onto the beach.
"Boom...."The roar of the engine was mixed with the sound of the crawlers and the friction of the ground, and the tank, which weighed more than a dozen tons, rushed to the beach in the blink of an eye, aiming the black hole of the gun at the Japanese position, which was still shrouded in gunsmoke. Baga, it's a tank, the people of China actually have a tank....artillery, immediately open fire..... daredevils, immediately charge, destroy it...."As soon as the grizzled Japanese commander gave the order, a dense burst of gunfire rang out in the ruins that had been silent. At the same time, dozens of Japanese soldiers, holding explosives bags and completely desperate for their lives, jumped directly out of the rubble and rushed towards the tanks and armored vehicles driving onto the beach.
"Machine gun fire, covering the landing of the infantry ....""All ....." As soon as the Japanese daredevils broke out of their positions, they had already driven onto the beach and formed an arc formation of armored vehicles and tanks when they opened fire at the same time. More than a dozen large-caliber heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and in an instant, a dense wave of bullets burst out, and in the face of the strafing of large-caliber heavy machine guns, the fragile bodies of Japanese soldiers, all touched by bullets, without exception, directly turned into a pile of minced meat.
"Boom", "Boom"..., there were also explosive bags in the arms of the Japanese daredevils who were detonated by the barrage, accompanied by the continuous firing of heavy machine guns and the sound of explosions from time to time, in the blink of an eye, dozens of little devil daredevils all turned into a pile of corpses. The infantry on the landing ship also rushed out of the cabin and landed on the beach, and with the infantry providing cover, the armored vehicles and tanks that sailed onto the beach moved forward slowly.
"Boom...", accompanied by the roar of engines, a medium armored battalion equipped with the forward landing force, a total of 12 medium tanks and 10 armored fire assault vehicles, with their thick armor and heavy firepower, quickly expanded outward and built a huge semi-encirclement around the landing site.
The second group of tanks and armored vehicles that broke out of the cabin of the landing ship and sailed onto the beach did not stay where they were, but rushed directly to the Japanese positions outside the arc, not only to spread the ground for the subsequent landing troops, but also to take on the task of clearing out the remnants of the Japanese troops on the shore. "Boom" A hidden firepower point of the Japanese troops on the shore was bombarded into the air by a tank shell, and another Japanese firepower point was bombarded by shells, and the firepower point deployed by the Japanese troops on the shore was completely used as a fixed target by the tankers of the Dangkou Army.
