Chapter 1537: The Great War is Imminent

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, the naval battle was not over, and the island army's shuttle bombing tactics made the Allies miserable, and the casualties were still expanding.

In this battle, Jizaburo Ozawa was in the limelight.

The so-called shuttle bombing actually means that carrier-based planes use land-based airfields in the Dutch East Indies to land, and after completing their combat missions, carrier-based planes do not need to return to the aircraft carrier, but directly complete refueling and reloading at the airfields on the island, and then return to the aircraft carrier or go straight to the next battlefield.

The core of this tactic is that carrier-based aircraft can carry out ultra-long-range raids, which greatly improves the combat resilience of carrier-based aircraft.

The three fleets of the Allied Forces, the comprehensive strength of which is definitely at least one-third higher than that of the Island Army, are attacking separately, and the Island Army does not want to make a profit in front of any fleet, but this set of interspersed bombing tactics is a good link between carrier-based aircraft and land aviation planes on the island, and all aircraft can pounce on a fleet at the same time at a point in time.

Moreover, the allies have no idea who the island army will choose in the next round of raids, and it is impossible to mobilize superior aviation for defense.

Therefore, the island army marched all the way, and the allies only fled in a hurry and jumped out of the battlefield.

Vientiane Command.

At the gate, Chen Shaokuan, commander-in-chief of the Navy, Gui Yongqing, chief of staff, Xiao Guang, political commissar, Xie Chen, commander of the Third Fleet, and Zhu Jinyuan, commander of the Third Marine Division, were walking out of the headquarters.

They were not bothered by the unfavorable factors of the current naval war situation, and walked out one by one with a happy face and a spring breeze.

They had already arrived in Vientiane yesterday, and they had been in the headquarters for more than ten hours, and it seemed that the military meeting had ended, and they were about to rush to their respective battlefields.

After seven days of day and night, the First Fleet and the Third Fleet arrived at the predetermined location ahead of schedule, and under the cover of underwater submarines and land-based aviation, they were completely invisible in front of the enemy and successfully completed the first stage of the assignment.

Just when everyone got into the cars in the yard and prepared to go to their respective barracks, Huang Jie, the former chief of the enemy's general staff, walked out quickly and ordered everyone to hurry back to the headquarters.

The group did not dare to slack off, and quickly got out of the car and walked into the headquarters again.

After everyone found their place in front of the circular conference table and sat down according to their positions, Jiang Haoran, who was in the first place, raised the telegram in his hand and said: "I just received an urgent report from the detachment, the enemy has already started to prepare for the defense of the coastline of Hainan Island a year ago, and the fortifications are far more than we estimated, and it is as simple as being shoddy in only half a year, so the battle plan needs to be reestimated. ”

As soon as Jiang Haoran's voice fell, Zhu Jinyuan, commander of the Third Marine Division, got up and said loudly: "General seat, no matter how strong the enemy's fortifications are, all the officers and men of my Third Division will definitely knock on their turtle shells and rush forward, and I, Zhu Jinyuan, will personally lead the charge to ensure the completion of the task." ”

"And me." Wang Teng, the commander of the Second Marine Division beside Zhu Jinyuan, also stood up, "I will also personally take the Second Division up to ensure the completion of the beach-grabbing task." ”

Jiang Haoran nodded and said: "The courage of the two is commendable, but the victory I want is to reduce the casualties to a minimum, so the tactics must be adjusted, and it is still a big adjustment, you two please sit down first." ”

Jiang Haoran said and handed the telegram in his hand to Chen Shaokuan at the bottom right, and said, "Brother Houfu, look at it, this is what the team just sent back." ”

Chen Shaokuan took the telegram suspiciously, and after a hurried glance, his face immediately changed greatly, and then he got up and strode to the huge map behind the rostrum, and after studying it for a long time, he turned back and said: "Commander, if this channel really exists, Baibu is the best landing place, and we can attack Hainan Island almost effortlessly." ”

Jiang Haoran said: "Yes, I think so too, as for the authenticity of the fairway? I don't think there's any problem, after all, this is from the mouth of the commander-in-chief of the Qiongya Column, and Ma Baiju's ancestors have been Hainan people for generations, and those things that have been drowned in the long river of history have been passed down from generation to generation by the locals, and they are more reliable than the literature, so I don't think there is a problem with the authenticity. ”

Chen Shaokuan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Then take this place as the main direction of attack, the other three landing points have all become feints, and the covering soldiers will join forces on the island from here, and the recovery of Hainan is in front of you." ”

Jiang Haoran said: "But the team has no way to mark this channel at present. ”

"Hey ......" Chen Shaokuan patted his thigh and said, "Boss, we have submarines, what channel do you want them to mark?" ”

Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, yes, they have a submarine, as long as this waterway is real, it is completely possible for the submarine to find this waterway in advance to complete the navigation task, Lin Long They lack common sense at sea It is understandable, why didn't they think of it.

If this problem is solved, all problems will not be a problem.

The original plan did not need to be adjusted too much, and the First Fleet continued to carry out the beach-rushing landing according to the original plan, while the Third Fleet was completely withdrawn and secretly seized the beach from Baibu.

The seven aircraft carriers are all loaded with armed helicopters, and the air part is handed over to the land airfields in Vientiane and Viet Lan, and the straight-line distance from the Jiuzhen Port of Viet Lan to Hainan is only more than 200 kilometers, and the planes at the land airfields can completely cover the entire coastline of Hainan Island, and there is no problem in escorting the Third Fleet.

The enemy's Baibu was almost undefended, and the landing force was mainly helicopter rope landing, and this important task was handed over to Yao Menglin's Langya Special Combat Team and Zhang Linghu's Fourth Special Operations Division.

Zhang Linghu was promoted to commander of the Fourth Special Operations Division, although the supplementary sources of troops have not yet been in place, and there are still less than 4,000 troops under his hands, but the products produced by the special operations division are all high-quality products, and their 4,000 troops are worth an ordinary marine division.

Helicopter rappelling is also the strength of the special operations division, and the vanguard unit must of course be a sharp blade that can cut through thorns and thorns along the way to open a bloody road. Therefore, Jiang Haoran urgently transferred them to take on the main task this time.

At this point, all the equipment, weapons, and troops are in place, and the rest is just waiting for the supplies to arrive.

In such a big battle, the materials needed are innumerable, and mobilizing a large amount of materials too early will inevitably alarm the island army agents along the way, so the materials have become the last preparation.

The Nationalist Army now has strong sea and air transportation capabilities, and is supported by a direct Yunnan-Vietnam railway, so the logistics are not a problem at all.

A large-scale beach-grabbing landing battle has already begun, and it is just waiting for the offensive on all fronts in five days.
