Chapter 198: It's so ruthless!

For the Japanese troops who invaded the southeast coast, they may not have dreamed that in the early years, they relied on a powerful navy and air force to wreak havoc on the southeast coast. Today, the Southwest Independent Army has also begun to counterattack their occupied areas in this way.

Although many Japanese generals felt that they needed to gather naval and air forces to fight the Southwest Independence Army. But in the face of the naval and air forces assembled in Menia, the Japanese army could not support the two-front battle at all, unless they were willing to give up their own defense.

After a long period of naval and air warfare, Menia had already inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, which was strong before the war. Even if Menia paid a heavy price, its industrial system and strategic resources were obviously much stronger than those of the Japanese army.

A large number of advanced fighters to restrain the Zero fighters were successively replenished to the air force of Menia, and a number of warships under construction at the same time were launched and delivered. Even if the Japanese army is desperately producing fighters and warships, the construction speed is obviously not comparable to the consumption.

On the contrary, the Meniah military-industrial complex, which is full of firepower, is several times stronger than the Japanese army in this respect. One fought less and less, and the other fought more and more, and after a long time, the Japanese army, which had originally occupied the superiority of the sea and air, also began to go downhill.

It's not that you don't want to save, but you need to make a choice. Faced with a dilemma between rescuing the southeastern colonies or defending the mainland and the outlying islands, many cabinet ministers knew what choice they had to make.

Most importantly, the Japanese army also deployed a large number of warships along the southeast coast. In addition to the battleships that were blown up, many battleships were attacked by unknown submarines not long after leaving the port, and all of them were sunk.

Some Japanese suspects that this is the submarine force of Menia. But in fact, this is the Seawolf commando piloting a new submarine and starting to hunt Japanese ships along the southeast coast. With the Air Force for reconnaissance and guidance, the Seawolf Commandos only need to wait for the rabbits.

As for the news of the new submarine, the South-Western Independence Army is still tightly sealed. Even the Menias side has always believed that it was the submarine they sold to the Southwest Independence Army. In fact, those submarines have been used as training submarines.

The two expanded submarine formations are now equipped with new submarines of the Southwest Independent Army, but the submarines are only floating on the base and are tightly sealed, even the Meniah side does not know about these situations.

The Japanese infantry brigade stationed on Xiangdao naturally knew about the recent bombing incident, and even the military port where they docked their warships did not escape the fate of being bombed. In the face of the Eagle Strike Air Force, which regained air supremacy, the Japanese army could only sigh with admiration.

After resting for the night of the 3rd Wolf Army's 3rd Division, which landed on the outer islands overnight, Xie Jinyuan, who had not slept all night, soon received a telegram from the Eagle Strike Air Force and the Sea Hawk Detachment, which were cooperating with the landing operation, asking if they could launch an attack.

"Is the group assembled?"

"Report to the division commander, all landed, ready to go at any time!"

"Good! Are the second and third regiments ready? ”

"All in place!"

"Good! Send a telegram to the Eagle Strike Air Force and the Sea Hawk Fleet, ordering them to sweep away the defensive positions deployed by the Japanese troops on the periphery of the island and cover the landing of our division. Summons all regiments, after the successful landing, go straight to the main island and clear the current knowledge! ”

"Yes, Commander!"

Several telegrams were sent, and the commander of the Sea Hawk fleet, who had gathered outside the island, immediately ordered: "Full speed! Prepare for battle! ”

The herald raised the flag and surrounded several warships near the flagship, and soon marched in full speed in battle formation. The Eagle Strike Air Force in the air took the lead in carrying out fierce air strikes on the periphery of the islands occupied by the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army had strengthened its air defense deployment, in the face of the powerful Eagle Strike Air Force, the Japanese air defense force was quickly destroyed by fighter planes. Looking at the bombers that began to drop bombs in the air, the Japanese troops on the ground also felt helpless.

The Japanese soldiers, who were shivering in the air defense trenches, couldn't help but curse: "Baga! And what about our fighters? And what about our warships? Why did they disappear without a trace when we needed them most?

No one gave them an answer to such an swear. The only thing a senior commander who knew the answer could do was to order his troops to be patient and hold out as long as possible until reinforcements arrived. The question is, when will the reinforcements arrive?

Looking at the fighter planes whizzing through the air, many people from Xiangdao who hid in when they heard the explosion were also very curious: "Is this our fighter?" Has our army begun to launch a counteroffensive? Why haven't you heard of it? ”

"Who knows! However, listening to the movement outside, those little devils who have suffered from the plague are afraid that they are going to be unlucky! ”

"Who's to say it isn't! I just hope that after this fight, I won't fight again in the future. If you keep fighting, you'll be gone! ”

Any peace-loving common man hates and reverses war from the bottom of his heart. Previously, the Japanese army forcibly occupied Xiangdao and seized control of the island from the British colonial army. At that time, the Japanese troops who went to the island also caused killings on the island.

Now that there is artillery fire outside, many people are worried that the troops on the island will start a new round of killings. The artillery fire is ruthless, who knows if they will be affected by the fish in the pond when they are involved in the battlefield?

Just as the people were praying for the end of the war, the Japanese troops stationed in the harbor soon discovered a large number of warships. The sentry in charge of the guard immediately shouted: "Unknown battleship found!" Unknown Battleship Spotted! It's getting closer, it's getting closer! ”

Not long after shouting these words, the Japanese army, which had just survived the bombing, once again ushered in the baptism of large-caliber naval guns. First the landing area was covered, and then the naval guns began to extend backwards and continue to strike at the Japanese farther away.

At the same time, the captains of various troop carriers that followed the battleship also began to approach the Japanese shore defense positions under the orders of the commander. Although the Japanese army was in a hurry, they were powerless to stop it.

A number of fighter planes in the air that have not yet departed are ready to escort the landing force at any time. Once it is discovered that the Japanese army has launched an artillery counterattack on the coast, then the fighter formation will destroy the Japanese artillery unit in the shortest possible time.

What's more, behind the landing force, there are still a large number of warships to cover, is it really a decoration for naval guns?

Watching the landing force jump from the troop carrier, they quickly seized the beachhead and began to infiltrate all parts of the island. The Japanese troops who were originally hiding in the tunnels could only resist hard.

But after the battle, the Japanese army said in horror: "Baga! What kind of troops is this? Why is their firepower so strong? ”

The Han-style Type 1 rifle developed and developed by the arsenal has now been installed in large quantities in the troops. Hu Biao, who was well aware of the importance of logistical unification, also began to change the outfit of one division after another. Captured Japanese equipment, or sold or sent is no longer of interest.

Sniper rifles, bazookas, light mortars, and recoilless guns are all equipped with combat units at the company level. Even this time, Hu Biao gave priority to the Third Division with the latest flamethrower that had been successfully developed and started mass production.

Looking at the little devil hiding in the tunnel and still resisting, the platoon commander in charge of the attack immediately said: "Pyro, get on!" ”

Aim the Pyro at the tunnel and ignite the Pyro on the tube, which will then shoot a string of flames into the tunnel. Listening to the screams of the little devils inside, the officers and soldiers in charge of covering also felt very happy.

"Damn! Hide! With the Pyro, the rats in the cave can be smoked to death! ”

knows that this kind of little devil who can't hide is indeed the most difficult to solve. Now with flamethrowers, there is no doubt that the casualties of the attacking troops will be greatly reduced. The special combat team members sent to Menia to be responsible for teaching are also training relevant units for the Menia infantry.

Every time I saw the little devils screaming out of the tunnel, full of fire, those Menian infantry who had suffered a lot, would also whistle excitedly: "Beautiful! That's it, burn these damn dwarf gongs! ”

The grassroots officer in charge of the attack, Menia, also said with admiration: "Damn it! If the Independence Army had been invited to guide earlier, maybe we wouldn't have suffered so many casualties in the previous battles. The Independence Army, it's so ruthless! ”

Lamenting that the instructor team invited by the military department, each instructor has extremely strong combat skills, and many officers and soldiers of the Meinian army can also see that they really know the Japanese army's combat methods very well, and they can always make the Japanese army who blocks it pay a heavy price.

Fortunately, the battle was fought to this extent, and the officers and men of Menia no longer had any mercy for the Japanese army. The officers and men of Menia knew all too well how the prisoners of war who had been rescued by the Independence Army were mistreated in the Japanese prisoner of war camps.

Coupled with the crazy side shown by the Japanese army, many of the officers and soldiers of the Menia no longer expected to capture any prisoners. As long as you see a live little devil, you can shoot and kill him without saying a word.

As the instructor of the instructor team said, only dead little devils are good devils!

With the three main regiments of the 3rd Division, an attack was launched on the Japanese army from three sides. The Japanese army, with its limited strength, could only cope with the attacking forces attacking from two directions. And a regiment of the 3rd Division soon went straight into the Japanese defense.

The commander of the Japanese brigade, who was preparing to deploy street fighting on the island, heard the gunshots coming from the city, and said with a surprised face: "What about it? Where are the guns being fired? Damn, did the Independence Army come over so quickly? What about our blocking forces? ”

"General, a large number of independent troops have been spotted in the city, and they are pressing towards the command post. To ensure your safety, evacuate as soon as possible! Our troops are holding back with all their might, but we are afraid that we will not be able to delay for too long. ”

"Yaga! Damn the Independence Army, how many troops did they really send out? ”

"At least one main division! The main division of the Independence Army, which is equivalent to one of our Class A divisions. If the above cannot be reinforced in time, with only our existing forces, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out for too long! ”

Telegrams requesting reinforcements have been sent for several days, but no reply has been received. The commander of the Japanese brigade, who knew that there was no reinforcement at home, knew very well that from the time the Southwest Independent Army decided to carry out a landing operation, their decision was doomed.

With the current forces alone, they simply will not be able to hold out for long. What's more, without the cooperation of the navy, it would be impossible for them to escape from this island. Waiting for their fate, in addition to surrendering to save their lives, perhaps the only way is to fight to the death!
