Chapter 49: Taiwan Strategy (5)
Accompanied by the fierce gunfire, a series of scorching tongues of fire appeared clearly in front of the Japanese army. The pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info were still a Japanese soldier who had no hesitation just now, and his face turned pale in an instant, and his heart began to panic. Even the Japanese, who are steeped in the spirit of bushido, have a hint of nameless fear when they are truly approaching and facing death. "Baga, we were fooled, the reinforcements of the Shina people have arrived.... Retreat, retreat right away.... ”
"Run, ....." Screams began to sound one after another among the Japanese soldiers, mixed with the screams that sounded from time to time, and the remaining Japanese soldiers on the battlefield could no longer bear the tragic and bloody situation in front of them. began to retreat desperately to the rear, and even worse, in order to speed up the retreat, he directly threw away the weapons in his hands.
"It's time....order the troops, all of them launch a counteroffensive, and completely defeat the Japanese troops in front of you...."Looking at the Japanese troops retreating in front of him, Zhang Xiangui, the commander of the 612th Regiment, finally showed a long-lost smile on his solemn face, and then ordered with an excited face. The soldiers of the 612th Regiment jumped out of their positions like tigers descending from the mountain and pounced fiercely at the Japanese troops who retreated from Empress Cang.
In the command room of the flagship of the temporary fleet, the excited voice of the combat staff officer came from the telecommunications room as soon as the two infantry regiments had won the victory. "Sir, good news, the two infantry regiments of the New Fifth Army have completely defeated the current Japanese First Garrison Division of Xiangshan. At present, the 612th and 613th infantry regiments are pursuing and crushing the enemy, and the 611th regiment is stepping up to expand the landing site. ”
"Well... Well fought....Destroy the 1st Xiangshan Garrison Division of the Japanese army in Taiwan, and in the entire Xiangshan area, the Japanese army will no longer have the strength to be able to handle, no....what about the main division that they transferred from the Xiangshan line before? Did they hear anything from the reconnaissance troops? In addition to being excited, Dai Anlan suddenly thought of the Xiangshan Division of the Japanese Army, which was originally stationed in this generation.
"The report, the news sent back by the reconnaissance force is not very detailed, but after the analysis of the General Staff, in the face of the fierce attack of the New Fifth Army, the Japanese army should transfer back the transferred Xiangshan Division, otherwise they will completely lose Xiangshan. According to the latest information sent by the reconnaissance troops, we expect that by noon today at the latest, the vanguard of the Japanese Xiangshan Division will rush to the periphery of the battle. ”
"In addition, the reconnaissance force reminded us that the main force and the corresponding artillery units must land as soon as possible and be ready for battle. The Xiangshan Division of the Japanese Army is not only equipped with a wing of field artillery, but also a large-caliber howitzer brigade, which can completely strike at our beachhead beyond the range of our ship's guns. The operational staff reported.
"Good job...."For these reconnaissance teams drawn out of the umbrella, Dai Anlan can be said to be very appreciative. Because he knew that without the accurate information provided by the reconnaissance troops, the entire landing operation would definitely not have gone so smoothly. And this information in front of him will undoubtedly allow the New Fifth Army to make preparations as soon as possible, so as not to pay an unnecessary price at that time.
After a short discussion with Dai Anlan and Lin Biao, Zhuo Fei immediately decisively ordered, "Order the follow-up troops to land quickly with the regiment as a unit." All the fighters of the fleet took to the air to cooperate in the operation, and all combat units, including equipment, must complete the landing before the Japanese Xiangshan Division returned to help. The troops that have already completed the landing will immediately move to the depths, and the best defense is to attack, and only by keeping the landing ground out of the range of Japanese artillery fire can we ensure the safety of logistics and materials. ”
"In addition, we will immediately send a telegram to Chongqing to report the news of the successful landing of the New Fifth Army to Chongqing, hoping that Chongqing will be able to mobilize all possible forces to fully ensure the smooth flow of our logistics channels. Once the war starts, logistics will be a top priority, and I don't want to force the soldiers to fight the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets. The telegram ordered by Zhuo Fei soon reached Chongqing, and the high-level officials in Chongqing who received the telegram could hardly believe their eyes, Zhuo Fei only sent a telegram to Chongqing when he ordered the start of the landing, how could it be that only an hour had passed, and the Japanese coastal defense line had already broken through the landing line?
The high-level people in Chongqing could not believe the telegram they had just received, but after verification by the military commanders, everyone was shocked to learn that the New Fifth Army, which had taken the lead in the attack, had indeed broken through the Japanese coastal defense line and had sent at least six regiments to the beach. "Okay, fight well, the speed of the New Fifth Army is still quite fast." Watching the operational staff officer insert the small blue flag representing the New Fifth Army into the position of Xiangshan in the sand table, Chiang Kai-shek's face couldn't help but show a hint of triumph, and said in his heart that Zhang Lingpu was indeed a fierce general, no wonder Zhuo Fei would name Zhang Lingpu's New Fifth Army to participate in the attack on Taiwan.
As time passed, as large landing ships rushed to the beach one after another, more than 30,000 troops were sent to the beachhead, and more than half of the tanks and armored vehicles of the First Armored Division had completed the landing. Looking at the empty ships that were retreating to the periphery in an orderly manner and the transport ships waiting in line to get close to the coast, Zhuo Fei's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, at this rate, it might not be time for lunch to all the troops and logistics to land on the shore.
"Nonsense, he Zhang Lingpu was not the regiment commander during the Nanjing City Defense War, he is now the army commander, and he is the lieutenant general of the New Fifth Army, why can't he get rid of the problem of liking to charge into battle?" Just when Zhuo Fei was secretly happy, he heard Dai Anlan's roar, and turned his head to see that Dai Anlan, who rarely gets angry, was reprimanding an operational staff officer of the New Fifth Army with a black face at the moment, and the latter could only stand straight to meet Dai Anlan's roar with a face full of grievances.
Zhang Lingpu is one of the few commanders in the national army who dares to fight a tough battle, which is why Zhuo Fei named the New Fifth Army to go south as the main attack, but Zhuo Fei never thought that even if Zhang Lingpu came to the battlefield in Taiwan, he still couldn't get rid of his habit of being in the front line. Zhang Lingpu, who had successfully landed with the second batch of landing troops, did not know that Dai Anlan was furious about this matter, and at this time Zhang Lingpu had already rushed to the position of the forward battalion and was directing other units of the New Fifth Army to pursue the retreating Japanese garrison division.
In the face of more than 10,000 follow-up troops of the New Fifth Army, which was fierce and carried a large amount of heavy equipment, Shi Guangshuihuang, who commanded the retreat of the garrison division, did not adopt the tactics of stubbornly defending and stubbornly, but prepared to use the surrounding terrain to prepare for a beautiful ambush and annihilation battle against the enemy on the way through which the enemy army must pass. In order to gain absolute superiority in the entire ambush battle, except for the Sasaki Wing, which suffered more than half of the casualties, served as the rearguard decoy force to attract the enemy's attention under the order of Shi Guang Shuihuang, the remaining 8,000 people of the entire garrison division were all thrown into this ambush battle that decided the fate of the garrison division under the personal command of Shi Guang Shuihuang.
"Boom" "Boom"..., the artillery fire of the pursuit kept staying, and the Sasaki Wing, who was ordered to serve as a rearguard unit and serve as a decoy, wanted to cry without tears. As far as the eye can see, there is hardly any intact road surface up to 100 meters long on the originally flat road, and the craters left by the explosion of the shells are one after the other. The Sasaki Wing, which had already suffered heavy casualties, paid a large number of casualties again in the face of such a strong artillery bombardment from the pursuers, and before they had withdrawn far.
Shi Guangshui Huang planned to take advantage of the enemy's unfamiliar terrain as his advantage to ambush the other party, but he didn't know that Zhang Lingpu was also an excellent commander, and the two infantry regiments 612 and 613 that had rushed to the forward battalion position in advance had already been sent to the two wings by Zhang Lingpu, and at this moment they were quickly rushing towards the two wings of the garrison division.
"Da Da..." Before the garrison division had finished assembling here, a dense burst of machine-gun fire came from the hilly area on the right side of the ambush circle. Shi Guangshui Waste's heart immediately jumped, and then he frowned, and also looked in the direction where the gunshots sounded. "Division commander, the China, we are surrounded by the China..., not only did the army of the China appear on our right side, but even the left flank found that the army of the Chinas was approaching." Seeing the shortage of stone light and water, the staff officer with a panicked face hurriedly stepped forward and reported in a low voice.
"Nani, don't panic yet, you can be specific, how many armies are there around us?" Shi Guangshui asked with a solemn face.
"There are a lot of people in the Chinese army who can't see the edge at a glance, and they are rapidly pressing on us....division commander, I don't know how many people there are, but I can be sure that the firepower density of the Chinese army is definitely several times that of ours.... The Yamada Brigade was just preparing to launch a tentative attack on the enemy on the right flank, but before the forward squadron of the Yamada Brigade could get close to the enemy a distance of 100 meters, more than half of it had already been lost, and finally, under the strafing and pursuit of the enemy's light and heavy machine guns, only two soldiers remained in the entire squadron that could successfully retreat. At this point, the staff officer's face immediately showed a gloomy look.
After the young staff officer finished his report, he kept his head down and waited for the punishment of the division commander in front of him. However, what everyone didn't expect was that Shi Guang Shuihuang did not do anything about the mistakes of the Yamada team, but waved his hand and said helplessly. "According to the intelligence, the light infantry firepower of the Shina people is indeed not comparable to us. If nothing else, the density of the enemy's fire of one regiment can at least be equal to two infantry wings of our army. So, this incident is not the fault of the Yamada brigade. It's just that what I didn't expect was that in just a few hours, the cunning Shina people would land so many troops..."
"Order the troops, build a ring of fortifications on the spot, and prepare to hold on. At the same time, we will report our latest situation to the Governor's Office, hoping that the Governor's Office will provide sufficient air support and infantry support to our department in the shortest possible time. Immediately go and send a telegram to contact the Xiangshan Division, asking when they will be able to rush back, saying that we have successfully pinned down the enemy's main force. "Since the ambush is hopeless, Shiguang Water Shortage has no choice but to turn to this place and wait for the rescue of the Xiangshan Division.
