Chapter 1674: The Fire Is Raging

Tanaka Jiuichi propped his hands on the edge of the table, lowered his head and pondered for a while, his eyes were resolute, and said: "There is no need for this, our forts were newly repaired within a year, and the secrecy measures have always been very strict. Moreover, the army is in full swing, and it will not take us seriously at all, and it will inevitably be crushed by heavy troops as soon as it comes up, so we must not miss this opportunity to kill them. ”

Kato Lingping nodded and didn't say anything more, waving his hand to signal the young officer to convey the order.

……

On the sea, the cruiser Huangshan of the Third Fleet of the Chinese Pacific Fleet.

On the deck, Sun Liren, lieutenant general and division commander of the new 38th Division of the Yuansan Group Army, Zhu Jinyuan, commander of the Third Marine Division, and the captain of the Huangshan, stood facing the wind.

In this campaign, they are the vanguard, with the 3rd Marine Division as the first echelon and the new 38th Division as the second echelon.

On the sea in front of them, countless landing ships were moving at full speed, and the target direction was pointing directly at the treasure island.

The sky is densely packed with fighter jets, bombers, and helicopter gunships to escort them.

The enemy's firepower has been completely suppressed and destroyed by naval guns and aircraft fire, the sea is calm, and the landing ships in front are approaching the coastline.

Zhu Jinyuan put down the binoculars and said suspiciously: "There is a problem with the intelligence of the Central Security Bureau, the landing ship in front is only two or three nautical miles away and is about to dock, why don't you see the enemy's artillery group?" ”

Sun Liren handed the telescope in his hand to the adjutant beside him, and said with a smile: "Wait patiently, the current Central Security Bureau is more powerful than the previous military and central commanders, and they will not be untargeted." ”

Zhu Jinyuan pursed his lips and said, "I hope it's true, otherwise we will miss an excellent landing opportunity." ”

Both men fell silent, their eyes fixed on the landing ship in front of them, their expressions nervous as they got closer to the shoreline.

In fact, the landing ships were all empty, and they were not loaded with troops and weapons at all, in order to draw out the enemy's so-called artillery group provided by the Central Security Bureau.

The area along the coastline is vast, and even if there are bombs and naval guns bombarding indiscriminately, it is very difficult to destroy the permanent fortifications hidden underground, and if there is a hidden artillery group, this will indeed be a disaster for the landing force, but if the enemy's artillery group is only a virtual thing at all, and a painstaking tossing and turning is still in the second, the tactics will also be exposed, and the best landing opportunity will be lost in vain.

Suddenly, a burst of fire flickered on the shoreline, and columns of water were instantly lifted on the sea, followed by a dull rumbling of cannon in the distance.

The enemy really has a hidden artillery group, and the momentum of this first salvo is absolutely huge, more than 20 water columns soar into the sky, the highest one is at least a few tens of meters high, and at first glance it is a big guy, and the caliber is at least more than 200 millimeters.

The dense ships on the sea immediately rose and fell in the waves, fires and smoke were everywhere, and ships were constantly hit by shells, and the accuracy of the little devil's artillery was never bad.

The naval guns immediately adjusted their muzzles, and the dense nets of bullets smashed towards the place where the fire appeared, and the nearby air force also quickly flew into the air, and a string of aerial bombs poured down.

The coastline was suddenly filled with smoke and fires.

But it was useless, the enemy's shells were still intensively smashing into the sea, and more and more ships were hit, even if they had completed the task of luring the enemy and were retreating at full speed, the enemy's shells were still chasing them, ruthless and accurate.

In the sky, there were also planes dragging thick smoke and falling to the sea, and some were even blown up directly over the treasure island, and it was obvious that the enemy still had a strong air defense force near the artillery group, and the air force that dive-bombed suffered a lot.

The people on the Huangshan were all in a hurry, and one by one they looked up at the sky, shouting and scolding what the Air Force was doing to eat, and why the long-range bomber group had not appeared until now.

Since it is to lure the enemy, of course, there must be a killer weapon, and the long-range heavy bomber is their killer weapon.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming." Someone shouted.

Everyone looked sideways, only to see a flock of big black birds disappearing in the clouds in the sky behind them.

In an instant, a huge air formation composed of B25 medium bombers, B17 Flying Fortress bombers, and B29 Super Aerial Fortress bombers swept over their heads, and the blue sky and white sun badge under the wings were clearly visible, and they were speeding towards the direction of the treasure island.

A few minutes later, the bomber group began to hover high altitude over the coastline, the enemy's anti-aircraft fire was not small, the bombers could only choose to drop bombs at high altitudes, and it was almost impossible to accurately throw the channel to the target position at an altitude of several thousand meters.

Therefore, the first round of bombardment was simply smashing, and countless black spots rushed to the ground in the rumbling cannonball.

Dazzling fires lit one after another on the coastline, and in an instant, the entire coastline seemed to be ignited.

The generals on the Huangshan raised their hands to cover their eyes, the strong light made them a little afraid to look directly, and Sun Liren simply put on sunglasses.

After the first round of bombing, the planes began to dive and carry out deep, targeted and precise bombing, and as more and more aerial bombs landed, a wall of fire was erected along the entire coastline, and the fire was raging.

Jiang Haoran was not merciful in the end, and still used coagulation, gasoline, and bombs, in the face of this ultimate weapon, no kind of fortified fortress was enough.

Dropping bombs from high altitudes will inevitably injure innocent people, but compared with thousands of soldiers, this kind of casualties should be understandable, especially now that Jiang Haoran has a grudge against the people on the island, and he has no scruples about using them.

As soon as the fire burned, the enemy's artillery fire stopped abruptly, the landing ships in front gradually withdrew from the battlefield, and the landing ships loaded with soldiers in the rear began to advance towards the coastline.

……

Hualien, the headquarters of the Southern Front of the Island Army.

"Eight Tooth Road." Tanaka Kuichi swept away all the documents on the table, and roared like thunder: "That person is very cruel, and he is very hateful. ”

Chief of Staff Linghei Kato said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, I have just received news that all the landing ships of the Zhina Army are empty, there are no personnel and equipment, we have lost three batteries in vain, and all artillery and weapons have been burned. ”

"Nani?" Tanaka Kuichi looked at Kato Lingpei in disbelief, and after receiving his nod of confirmation, the old devil completely collapsed, waving his fist and slamming the desk in front of him, shouting and cursing repeatedly: "Baga Baga." ”

"Your Excellency, please stay calm, please stay calm at this time." Kato Linghei was a little overwhelmed.
