Our army's four J10 fighters and two JH7 Flying Leopard fighters carried out an unscrupulous bombing of more than 10,000 people of the Kuomintang 59th Division in the Kaohsiung port area. The Kuomintang 59th Division, which was waiting to board the ship, was completely unguarded, running around the harbor area and hiding. Zhang Dekui, commander of the 59th Division, was hit by a bullet as soon as he got off the jeep, and his right thigh femur was hit by a steel ball. The right upper arm was pierced by a steel ball, the artery was broken, and blood was sprayed at the wound; The steel ball pierced through the right lung, and he vomited blood in a big gulp, but he was always conscious, and he knew that he would die if the blood ran out, Zhang Dekui lay in a pool of blood, crawled under the jeep little by little, and pressed his right arm under him in pain to prevent the broken artery from continuing to spurt blood outward. He listened to the sounds around him with his ears, and waited for the communist planes to leave early, waiting for ambulance. Half an hour later, when people pulled Zhang out of the jeep, he was already unconscious. When he awoke, he lay on the hospital bed, recalling the feeling of death: "It was a very happy moment, the soul seemed to have broken away from the shell, and flew into the boundless sky, fluttering and leisurely, and there was no war that people had long been disgusted with, only the tranquility that people could not enjoy enough." If you can float in the air forever like just now, without pain or suffering, without worry, isolated from the world, and rest, death is also a very good destination! ”

But most of the 59th Division was not as lucky as him. Under the abuse of many [***] soldiers, they have "become benevolent", and there are even more people who hang colors. Three LTS landing ships were also sunk in the harbor by JH7 Flying Leopard fighters, and one destroyer with the "Tai" was blown up and sunk in the channel in and out of the port area, blocking the port channel. This is the end of this reinforcement.

Also going to reinforce Penghu Island was the Taichung Kuomintang 186th Division, which also suffered the same fate as the 59th Division at Budai Port in Chiayi. More than half of the entire 186th Division was killed or wounded. More than half of the ships that went to pick up the 186th Division were also sunk, and in the face of such a powerful and ferocious air strike, the Kuomintang could not come up with a better way to deal with it, except for scolding the Kuomintang Air Force for being incompetent as a "rice bucket."

After receiving the alarm that the communist fleet was coming at noon, Lu Jieqing, then commander of the Penghu defense, immediately ordered the headquarters to be moved to the tunnel where the headquarters was still under construction in Gongbei Mountain. The command tunnel has not yet been completed, and it is chaotic, dark and damp, and there is constantly dripping water downwards everywhere, and a few places in the cave are temporarily erected with tarpaulins as temporary places to stay. Lu Jiaqing frowned and looked at this "headquarters" If it wants to be stationed, it will have to erect communication lines, install power generation equipment, and complete all kinds of living facilities, to say the least, it will take ten days and half a month. Therefore, he saw that most of the organs were still living and working in the barracks outside, and he was too lazy to move in. He didn't insist too strongly that these subordinates must move into this cave. This also created an objective condition for the decapitation operation of the PLA Air Force. Before the war, our army's drones conducted reconnaissance on Penghu many times, and the Air Police 2000 also made accurate positioning of the command system of the Kuomintang on Penghu Island. When six JH7 Flying Leopard fighters appeared in the sky over Magong City, Lu Jieqing was holding a telescope to look at the sea area to the south, looking at the landing ships of the communist army slowly approaching Penghu Island. When the air defense sirens sounded, he put down his binoculars, he looked up at the sky, wanting to see where the enemy plane was? However, the clouds were light and the sky was high, and nothing was seen. But he did hear a roar from the air, "Commander, look," and he looked in the direction of the staff officer beside him, and two very strange planes had begun to dive down towards him. I saw that the fire was shining under the fuselage, and one after another aviation rockets were fired at the air defense position of Gongbei Mountain, and then four short and thick bombs were dropped below. Instinctively, he curled up in the trench, followed by a terrifying explosion, and Gongbei Mountain seemed to beat like an earthquake. After the explosion, when they opened their eyes, they were extremely shocked to find that Gongbei Mountain was shrouded in fire and smoke, he saw several staff guards around him were slapping the fire on their bodies indiscriminately, and then he also felt a burning pain in his back, he couldn't help rolling in the trench a few times, the fire was not only not small at all, but burned more vigorously, and the burning area was larger. He quickly stood up, took off his shirt, waistcoat, pants, pants, and all the combustible things on his body, napalm had penetrated into his skin, so he had no choice but to endure the great pain, and lean his body against the wall of the trench, but the oil that had not yet burned on the wall was on his body for the second time. The scorching air contained a large amount of toxic smoke that made him feel suffocated. The entire Gongbei Mountain was burning, and he saw many people running around, struggling in the fire, and there were horrible screams that made people shudder. He also didn't care about the dignity of his commander, and shouted with his bare stomach and the loudest voice he had: "Don't run around, take off your clothes and pants." No one could hear him shouting in the chaos. The fire in his back was getting stronger and stronger, he didn't feel any pain anymore, he just felt that he couldn't breathe, his whole body was hot, his throat was smoking, he wanted to drink water, he wanted to jump into the cold water. He felt that his will was not very clear, he was drowsy and couldn't distinguish the direction, the hope of survival drove him, and ran to the place where there was no fire and water down the mountain as much as he could, he felt that the road down the hill was so long, it was simply boundless, he tried to open his eyes wide, but it was still dark in front of him, he used the greatest perseverance, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and stumbled down the mountain, but he was unable to do so, he finally lost consciousness and fell into a raging fire. When people look for their commander everywhere, they never think that the top piece of the pile of carbon is their commander.

This decapitation operation completely relieved the Kuomintang military command organ stationed in the Penghu Islands, and this raid operation condensed into tremendous combat benefits in an instant, with the rational surname of the choice of time, the strong surname of the sudden attack, and the clear surname of the key point of the attack.

The Kuomintang in the Penghu Islands was garrisoned by two divisions, the 68th Division was stationed on Baisha Island and Xiyu Island and the surrounding islands, and only the Kuomintang 83rd Infantry Division was stationed on the main island of Penghu.

Now only a regiment of the 83rd Division and a gendarmerie battalion remain guarding Magong City. Zhu Shaoqing, commander of the 28th Army, personally went to the front line and commanded the 82nd Regiment of the 226th Division in the 1st Tank Battalion of the 1st Marine Division to fight with the Kuomintang 83rd Division on the road to Magong City. There was no decent resistance along the way, just clearing out the remnants of the enemy and wasting some time searching for prisoners.

The 226th Regiment of the 82nd Division, under the cover of the 1st Tank Battalion of the 1st Marine Division, has captured the port south of Magong Port in the eastern suburbs of Magong City. Zhu Shaoqing sat in the armored command car at this time and thought: Although the enemy's command organs have been defeated now, if there is a street battle with the enemy when he enters the urban area of Magong now, he will have to pay a lot of casualties even if he fights with some stragglers in the street battle. Zhu Shaoqing ordered the troops to temporarily halt their advance. Discussed with the commander of the 1st Tank Battalion of the 1st Marine Division whether he could get armored propaganda vehicles to come up, form an armored propaganda team with four tanks and four armored vehicles, and drive directly into Magong City to repeatedly broadcast the announcement of the Penghu Front Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Launch a powerful political offensive of our army against the enemy in order to achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight. The commander of the 1st Tank Battalion immediately agreed with Zhu Jun's proposal. Organize a special armored vehicle propaganda team immediately.

Four tanks and four armored vehicles sandwiched the armored propaganda vehicle in the middle, set off from the south wharf of Magong Gang, and marched towards Magong City as if no one else had been around. While walking, the announcement of the Penghu Front Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was broadcast: "We are the Penghu Front Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and now we are broadcasting the "Announcement of the Penghu Front Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army" The vast number of officers and men of the Kuomintang in the Penghu Islands, you have now reached the point of exhaustion, your commander Penghu Defense Commander Lu Jianqing has been blown up, all your command organs have been destroyed, and the 83rd Infantry Division and the 73rd Tank Group have been basically wiped out. Now there are less than 5,000 people left in the 1st Regiment of the 83rd Division of the Kuomintang and the Military Police Battalion, hiding in the city of Magong. We have occupied most of Penghu Island and blocked the waters surrounding Magong City. Do not think that anyone will come to your rescue. The 59th and 186th divisions of the Kuomintang that came to reinforce were wiped out by our troops at Kaohsiung Port and Chiayi Budai Port respectively. Now we order you to return to your respective barracks at once, lay down your arms, stop resisting, take care of all your supplies, and wait for our PLA to take over. This is the only way for you to live. "They went around the Mazu Palace in the center of Magong and finally returned to Siri. This grand march of the armored armed propaganda team in the enemy-occupied area as if it had entered a no-man's land greatly shocked the Kuomintang defenders in Magong City and completely destroyed the psychological defense line of the Kuomintang defenders. In the face of such a powerful armed force, no one was willing to seek death, and the Kuomintang defenders in Magong City, under the leadership of lower-level officers such as company commanders, platoon commanders, and squad leaders, returned to their barracks one after another according to the announcement of the People's Liberation Army. Waiting for the People's Liberation Army to come and accept it.

At 3 o'clock in the morning of September 2, in the thick fog, tanks followed by a group of soldiers of the 226th Regiment of the 82nd Division appeared in the neighborhood of Magong City and began to receive the camp of the Kuomintang defenders. But there are always individuals and exceptions. In a small number of areas, some diehards of the Kuomintang were still making the last resistance, and there were some sporadic battles with our receiving troops. Three patrol boats of the 3rd Squadron of the Kuomintang Boat Squadron anchored in Magong Port tried to slip out of the port while it was dark, but they were sunk by two frigates of our army as soon as they left the port, and the rest were honest. I met when the tank entered the city. The enemy desperately resisted on Shamao Mountain in the city, and their anti-aircraft machine guns fired frantically at our tanks, and the bullets burst out one after another on the tanks, making the sound of ping-pong. They also killed and wounded three fighters of the 226th Regiment who were following behind the tank. Our tanks immediately launched a heavy artillery bombardment of the stronghold, and the fighters of the 226th Regiment were under the cover of the tanks. Rushing to Shamao Mountain, all kinds of firepower opened fire on the enemy on the mountain. The defenders on the mountain saw that the situation was not good, and they fled for their lives. But the hill has long been surrounded and it is impossible to escape. I only think of surrender now, but where is the opportunity to surrender. In 20 minutes, all 57 Kuomintang defenders who dared to resist were annihilated. I 226 Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment. Along the streets of Magonggang to the camp in Magongnan City to receive the military police battalion, he was blocked by a company of the Kuomintang military police battalion on Zhongzheng Road. There was no choice but to engage in street battles with this group of stubborn enemies, and they fought house by house, and the 2nd Battalion and 1st Company of the 226th Regiment pressed the enemy into three buildings with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai under the cover of tanks. In a three-story building, Gou Wenhao, the instructor of the military police battalion, inspected every position in the building. Every gendarme was encouraged, and a cigarette was lit for each soldier himself. When everything was arranged, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, we are the elite of the party-state, and we must defend our constitution to the death. It's better to be free than to die! We're going to fight [***] to the end."

"Boom", a 90-mm shell broke through the window, shot into the hall of this building, and exploded directly on Gou Wenhao, thus very impolitely ending his unfinished political mobilization, at which time our army completed the encirclement of the three buildings. The M26 tank began to bombard the enemy in three places, and in the face of the bombardment of our tanks, the enemy was powerless to parry, and he was in a hurry, and the wolf rushed to the ground, desperately fleeing. The machine guns stationed around swept the enemies who tried to flee in droves down the street in front of the buildings. Then the 226th Regiment launched a charge against these three strongholds, grenades flew into the building from the door holes and windows, and the strafing sound of the submachine guns rang out, and after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the group of Kuomintang diehards was successfully resolved.

7:20 a.m. on September 2. The entire battle of Penghu Island ended, and our army's front was brilliant, and 21,563 Kuomintang defenders stationed in Penghu were annihilated.

Immediately, the Penghu Frontline Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army sent the announcement of the Penghu Frontline Command of the People's Liberation Army to Xiyu Island and Baisha Island. At the same time, he wrote to Wang Shaohui, commander of the 68th Division: "Now that our army has occupied the main island of Penghu, I hope that Division Commander Wang will clearly understand the situation, respond to [***]'s call for a peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue, resolutely reject all the false orders of the Chiang puppet regime, and come to the Penghu Front Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army set up in Magong City and County before 12 o'clock on September 2 to discuss the matter of accepting the reorganization." ”
