Chapter 966: The Battle for Kaohsiung (2)
Just when the 40th Regiment was gradually unable to parry, reinforcements came!
Just as Liu Buyun was leading the Chinese fleet to cruise back and forth in the Taiwan Strait, he suddenly received a telegram from the General Staff, transmitting the news of the mutiny in Taiwan. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]--[Just love to read]
Liu Buyun, who got the news, almost fainted, damn, it's only been more than two days, and Taiwan has undergone such a big change, which is too outrageous. The loss of Taiwan means that in the future, the Huaxia Fleet will lose its supply base, and without the supply of ammunition and fuel, what use will the Huaxia Fleet have? That's a pile of scrap metal!
Liu Buyun shouted: "Order, all the warships immediately march towards Kaohsiung Military Port at full speed, we must rush back to Kaohsiung Port in the shortest possible time, and return to help quickly!" Order, all troop carriers, all return to Qingdao, wait for the dispatch of the General Staff! ”
In an instant, the thirteen warships of the Huaxia Fleet urgently turned around and rushed towards Kaohsiung, unfortunately, their location happened to be at the southern end of the Taiwan Strait, and the distance from Kaohsiung Port reached hundreds of miles, and it became a luxury to send them back to Kaohsiung Port as soon as possible.
Liu Buyun is in a hurry, there is no way, no matter how anxious he is, he also needs to return to Kaohsiung, Liu Buyun said urgently: "The fleet does not need to maintain a formation, the fastest flagship is in line with the Tianjin ship and the Shengjing ship, and the rest of the ships are close behind, all moving forward at the highest speed!" ”
Even so, by the time Zheng He and the other three main battleships arrived at Kaohsiung Port, the time had already reached dusk, and the current 40th Regiment had little power to parry, and four of the nine batteries had been destroyed by the heavy artillery of the Taiwan Division, and it could no longer exert its due combat power, and the 40th Regiment had withdrawn the outermost two lines of defense and retreated to the last line of defense!
At this time, the three capital ships arrived, and the corners of Liu Buyun's eyes cracked, ******, the Kaohsiung Port that Yang Yonglin had worked so hard to build was so devastated by the Taiwan Division, and it was distressing!
Liu Buyun yelled: "Order, open the hangar in the back, all four fighters will rise into the air, and bomb them hard!" ”
Even when attacking Mawei, Liu Buyun was cautious and did not let the only four planes participate in the battle, and this time Liu Buyun was really red-eyed.
With the opening of the big 'door' of the warehouse, four planes flew out of it, and these four planes were the most advanced planes newly developed, with the longest range and the largest bomb load, and they were equipped with aiming equipment and 'firing' equipment, and the accuracy of 'precision' was greatly improved.
Four planes roared into the sky and flew towards the positions of the Taiwan Division in Kaohsiung.
Liu Buyun immediately ordered that all the artillery of the three battleships should be fully fired, and all of them should be put into battle, and they would do their best to support the 40th Regiment and the defenders of the military port!
Dozens of 'guns' of the three battleships were all thrown into battle in an instant, and dozens of shells were fired towards the position of the Taiwan Division on the east side of Kaohsiung Port!
The 4th and 5th regiments of the Taiwan Division were in charge of the attack here, and when the two regiments were attacking with all their might, all of a sudden, the sound of shells sounded overhead, and before they could fully react, the shells had already fallen on the positions, setting off bursts of gunpowder smoke and fire, and many soldiers died under the shells.
The 4th and 5th regiments were stunned at once, where did this shell come from? The three batteries in front of him have now been almost completely destroyed by their own army, why are there so many shells all of a sudden?
Just when they were at a loss, another 'wave' of shells hit, and at this moment, they reacted, this is an attack from the sea!
Li Dahai, the commander of the fourth regiment, shouted: "Attention, they have reinforcements from the sea, and they have given the order to immediately turn the direction of the artillery attack and attack the warships at sea!" ”
The artillery fire of the 4th and 5th regiments was immediately attracted to the sea, and the situation in the positions on the east side of the Kaohsiung Military Port finally eased a little, giving the officers and men of the 40th Regiment a chance to rest!
From last night until now, they have been fighting for a whole day and a night, and their bodies and 'spirits' have been exhausted to the extreme!
The battle on the eastern side has eased, and the southern position has changed even more!
All four fighters flew into the sky above the position of the First Brigade led by Sun Liechen, and more than a dozen aerial bombs flew down from the sky and swooped down fiercely towards the artillery position of the First Brigade!
The officers and men of the First Brigade were still ignorant, and dozens of people were lifted into the sky by the powerful qi 'waves'! This is not an ordinary bomb, this is a bomb specially designed for the armor of warships, and it is so powerful that it can already dominate the world!
Against the artillery and artillery on the artillery position, there is no obstacle at all, even heavy artillery can definitely not withstand the bombing of these aerial bombs!
Hearing the unusual explosion on the artillery position, Sun Liechen's heart jumped suddenly, what kind of shell is this, why is it such a loud sound?
Just as I was wondering, the sound of more than a dozen explosions came!
Sun Liechen raised his head suddenly, ah!
It's an airplane!
Where did this fighter come from!
Sun Liechen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, as a senior general, he knew that the Republic of China had seventy or eighty planes produced in different periods, excluding the damaged and given to the Germans, there were nearly sixty left, but these should be in the north, at most they would drive to the north bank of the Huai River, there was no military airport, they could not fly to Taiwan!
Huaxia Navy Fleet!
Sun Liechen came to his senses and had already heard that the Navy's flagship Zheng He could carry planes to fight, and this was the first time he had seen a real plane!
Broken! If it is only the fleet participating in the war, it is better to say that the warships cannot go ashore anyway, and the threat to the Taiwan division is very small, but the planes are different, even if they retreat to Taipei, these fighters are still enough!
Moreover, the strategic deterrence of these aircraft is too great, and now that the artillery positions have been bombed twice, I am afraid that no artillery will dare to 'show their heads', and the sound of artillery has basically stopped!
Sun Liechen was sweating profusely, but now was not the time to stop fighting, the 40th Regiment was almost unable to parry, and it was necessary to continue the attack!
Sun Liechen shouted: "Order, let the artillery battalion ignore the planes in the sky, fire at me with all my might, and we must take Kaohsiung for me in the shortest possible time, and now the defenders of Kaohsiung will soon be unable to hold on!" ”
Sun Liechen gave an order, and the artillery position sounded again, but this time the sound of artillery was obviously much sparse.
Compared with Sun Liechen's anxiety, Yang Yonglin and Gao Xin's eyes are now happy to bloom, and when they were most desperate, they finally got the support of the naval fleet, and with the support of the navy, at least in a short period of time, Kaohsiung will not be in too much danger! say
