Chapter Seventy-Five: The Landing of Tea Mountain

In the Chashan area, strong winds were raging, torrential rain was pouring down, and Typhoon Butterfly finally made landfall in the Chashan area of Taiwan.

Countless houses were destroyed by the typhoon, giant trees were broken, and even the Japanese base in Chashan was seriously affected, with large gables collapsing, several barracks and houses being overturned, and three Japanese soldiers missing and more than 100 wounded.

Not long after the typhoon passed, the Chashan area ushered in a short period of one-hour peace, which was the passage of the eye of the typhoon.

However, the Japanese army thought that the typhoon had passed and finally been safe, but they never thought that a greater crisis would come.

Suddenly there was a roar in the short clear sky, and after passing through the Chashan area ravaged by the typhoon, many Taiwanese people couldn't help but come out of some caves in Chashan and look down the mountain to see if the homes they lived in under the mountain had escaped the damage of the typhoon.

Large swaths of wooden houses were destroyed, and only a few families survived.

"Damn typhoon, our house has been blown down again."

A fifteen-year-old mountain baby couldn't help but scold.

At this time, there was a roar in the sky, and the mountain baby looked at the sky, and dozens of planes lowered their altitude and swept over the mountain.

"Which country's plane is this?"

The mountain baby wanted to point at those planes and scold the Japanese devils, but unexpectedly, the Japanese planes she saw in the past were painted with plaster flags, but now these planes that flew over the hill were painted with blue eagle logos.

"Hide!"

Shanwa's father hurriedly ran over, ready to pull Shanwa back to the cave, because many people who herd sheep here would be killed and injured by the Japanese plane. But as he looked horrified at the planes that flew over the heads of their father and son, his eyes gradually calmed. Instead, there was a pleasant surprise.

Although Shanwa's father was illiterate, he was able to recognize that it was not a Japanese plane.

"Is this the plane of the Don Army?"

Some time ago, he heard in the town that Tang and Japan were going to war again, and this time the target was Taiwan.

Shanwa's father and son quietly watched the planes that lowered their altitude one by one as they swept over the mountain. Fly towards the other side of the mountain.

"It's like a little devil's barracks on the other side of the mountain!"

The next moment, Shanwa father and son turned their heads to look at the Japanese military base on the other side of the mountain, and sure enough, those Tang Army planes that had lowered their altitude were flying towards the Japanese military base in Chashan, and there was a piercing howling sound from time to time.

"Babble-babble-babble-"

"Boom-boom-boom-"

From the top of the mountain, Shanwa father and son could clearly see that those planes dropped aerial bombs one after another, and the entire Japanese army Chashan base suddenly rose up with huge fiery mushroom clouds.

The earthquake trembled as if there had been a great earthquake. The father and son of the mountain baby could clearly feel the trembling at their feet. If it hadn't been for the huge explosion in the Japanese barracks, Shanwa and his son would have thought that there had been an earthquake.

At this time, some Taiwanese who stayed in caves to avoid the typhoon also ran out in panic. There was a loud cry of earthquakes.

"It's not an earthquake! Come and see! The devil barracks exploded! ”

Shanwa's father and son shouted loudly, it was quite excited. Soon, a large group of Taiwanese people rushed over one after another, and they all looked in the direction of the Chashan base on the other side of the mountain.

At this time, the bomber group of the Tang Army was raging in the sky over the Japanese base in Chashan. Aerial bombs weighing 500 kilograms were dropped. The Japanese barracks below were destroyed one by one, the earth and rocks were splashed, and the smoke of gunpowder rushed to the sky, and the Japanese troops in the barracks were blown to smithereens, leaving huge craters several meters deep and nearly 100 meters in diameter.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The tarmac, ammunition depot, weapons depot, granary, oil depot, and other important targets were bombed by the Tang army one after another, and violent explosions occurred one after another, and the flames soared into the sky in an instant, and the huge shock wave was like a flood that burst the embankment. Spread in all directions, flattening everything.

The screams of the Japanese soldiers gradually came out. The sound became louder and louder, and soon the howl of ghosts and wolves spread throughout the tea mountain, and the Taiwanese people on the mountain were crying out in their hearts.

"Well fried!"

"Kill these brutes!"

These Taiwanese people, who were only bullied and humiliated on weekdays, were indescribably happy to see the Japanese army being bombed at this moment, and they talked about it a lot.

Within a few minutes, people were shocked by the sound of huge explosions coming from the east and west, except for the Chashan base.

"Look, there's a sea of fire over there in Lao Foshan!"

"The direction of Dashan Mother Mountain is also blazing!"

"It seems that the devil warship over there in Chashan Port has also been bombed!"

Everyone looked southeast from the top of the mountain, and sure enough, all the places where the Japanese troops were stationed around were under bombing, and the bombers of the Tang Army were circling in the sky.

There is a brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Laofoshan, there is a railway track under Dashan Mushan, where there is an important supply station for the Japanese army, and several Japanese destroyers and gunboats are moored in Chashan Port, and there are two coastal fortresses on the shore.

Typhoon Butterfly made the first landfall in Chashan, and the Tang Army could only attack the Japanese army in Chashan first.

In just a few dozen minutes, the entire area where the Japanese troops were stationed in the Chashan area were subjected to devastating attacks, and the well-trained naval aviation of the Tang Army accurately dropped aerial bombs on the targets, quickly paralyzing the Japanese troops in the area.

They did not dare to stay for a second longer, because the eye of the storm was still moving rapidly, and the Tang aircraft carrier battle group could only be anchored in the sea not far from Chashan, and could not get any closer, and all Tang planes must land before the eye of the storm left the mothership, otherwise they would face the danger of not being able to land.

Even so, several Don Army planes had accidents when they landed on the flight deck. Due to the relatively tight landing time, a Hellfire heavy carrier-based plane was not caught by the blocking cable when it landed, and as a result, the landing area was demarcated, and the pilot was still very experienced, and hurriedly turned around and slid into the sea without crashing into other planes on the deck. The other Hellfire landed too fast, and although it got caught in the blocking cable, it flipped over two ends, breaking the wing and shattering the propeller. Fortunately, the Tang Army had a strict order that no matter whether the target was found or not, it was not allowed to carry ammunition and auxiliary fuel tanks on the return voyage, so it would not cause more explosive disasters.

The Tang army is well-trained, and this time for the typhoon operation, Li Haichen took this into account, strengthened the damage management in the landing area, and arranged several vehicles similar to bulldozers, once a plane landed, it was directly pushed into the sea, this is to not block the landing runway, affect the rapid landing of other aircraft, after all, the time of this air raid is too tight, and the Tang army needs to recover all the planes as quickly as possible.

In the end, the Tang army completed the bombing operation at the small cost of destroying one Hellfire and three wounded, destroying all the Japanese bases in Chashan, causing the Japanese army to lose a coast guard airfield and 22 planes to be blown up. The entire Pingtung garrison brigade was completely annihilated, more than 10,000 Japanese troops were killed, two Fengfeng-class destroyers and three gunboats were lost in the port, coastal fortresses were destroyed, and a large number of weapons depots, ammunition depots, oil depots, and granaries were blown up, resulting in huge losses.

When the Tang Army attacked the Japanese troops in Chashan, two large dock landing ships also approached Chashan Port under the cover of several minesweepers, the bow gate of one landing ship was opened, and six amphibious tanks swam and landed. After the floodgates of another dock landing ship were opened, one of the Marine battalions inside was also dropped.

At the same time, the frogman special forces of the Tang Army Marine Corps also took advantage of the cover of the Tang Army's bombing to quietly approach the Japanese coastal fortresses, and when the Tang Army's bombers completed the bombing of the Japanese coastal fortresses, the Tang Army's frogman special forces launched a charge as soon as possible, quickly controlled the Japanese fortresses on both sides of the port, and covered the landing of the Tang Army's leading troops.
