[250] Combat readiness
Yao Xiaole seemed to suddenly notice something at this time, and asked, "Commander?" Is the enemy in this battle particularly difficult to fight? Why do you give us such haode dry food? New clothes and smoke. ”
Hearing this, the soldiers in the cabin who had eaten biscuits for the first time in their lives stopped talking and stared at the regiment commander Wang Qixiu.
Wang Qixiu nodded and said calmly: "With a main force like ours, which battle was not difficult in the past?" At the mobilization meeting before departure, Commander Su, Commander Song, and our Commander Peng all said that we are the first wave and the vanguard army! If you go up, you will have to face 300,000 Lao Chiang's troops, and it will take at least two days for the reinforcements to come up. What's wrong? Are you kid cowardly? There are still 20,000 Japanese mercenaries on the island, and they took Lao Chiang's money to help him fight, how about it? Scared? ”
The more Yao Xiaole listened, the more angry he became, and he clenched the kettle and shouted, "I'm afraid of a bird!" Head! I'm not afraid! There are devils to fight! I'm glorious even if I'm dead! ”
The daredevil, Du Maoshi, said angrily to Yao Xiaole: "Then you ask for a ball, just go up and play, damn, it's better to come up and let me run into the little devil!" Master, I'll go up and kill! Kill! Kill! Kill him! It's worth it to die! ”
Du Maoshi said, and then clenched the Bayi bar in his hand and lifted it.
Now the whole cabin was boiling, and the soldiers shouted one after another, screaming to fight the devil first! The sound shook the entire cabin.
"That's right! Head! We must focus on the devil! ”
"Captain! I ask to fight the devil first! ”
"Commander, I'm not afraid of death! You take me to fight devils! I want to avenge my whole village! ”
Wang Qixiu hurriedly shouted: "Give me a light!" Tap!
Hey, the chief didn't tell the big guy that there were Japanese before, he was afraid of this bird thing! Blame me for being quick-mouthed, and speak up first. Comrades, the revolutionary contingent of our supply party does not make any difference if we encounter any enemy, we will fight if we go up! What is there to say! We've fought so many battles, and we can't remember all the numbers of our enemies. ”
Wang Qixiu said again: "I know that as long as I talk about fighting devils, they must be screaming, but how do I know where the devils are?" More than 300,000 Lao Jiang's troops, 20,000 little devils, I can't pick them up one by one to fight, right? This thing is like eating, you can't pick the fat and the thin, and choose your own happiness. The cook goes down with a spoonful, whether there is such a big piece of fat in it, or whether a spoonful is full of cabbage, it depends on luck. ”
Hu Ming, who has always been a gentle political commissar, said with a twinkle in his eyes: "Lao Wang, I have a hunch that we can dig up fat." ”
As soon as he said this, the soldiers in the whole cabin laughed and said: "That's it, that is, we all feel that what the political commissar said is reasonable, and our 73rd Regiment will definitely be able to dig up a big fat meat." ”
Due to several bombing operations in the early stage, Xiaoqiang's previous purchase of 1,000 tons of aerial bombs and 900 tons of aerial bombs in the Yuer torpedo have been completely used up. The H-5 can carry a maximum of 3 tons of bombs, and the H-5 branch bombers of the 8th Division will make 48 sorties, which is a full 144 tons of aerial bombs. As a result, when bombing the defenders of Penghu, a little bilge of this zuihou was completely used up.
Commander Su Yu discussed with Deng Zhaoxiang, commander of the North Sea Fleet, and Commander Deng Zhaoxiang pointed out that as long as the air force can complete the task of air defense of the fleet, the fire support on the other side of the strait will be handed over to the North Sea Fleet.
In the view of Commander Deng Zhaoxiang of the Navy, the fire support for this beachhead landing can be completely achieved by relying on the Navy's 516 ship Jiujiang. AS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE FRIGATE OF THE 053 JIANGHU CLASS, THE 516 SHIP IS EQUIPPED WITH FIVE 50-BARREL 122MM ROCKET LAUNCHERS THAT CAN FULLY MEET THE BEACHHEAD FIRE COVERAGE.
ALTHOUGH THIS EXPERIMENTAL SHIP WAS ULTIMATELY CONSIDERED TO HAVE LITTLE FUTURE IN THE CHINESE NAVY IN THE 21ST CENTURY, MAINLY BECAUSE THE 20-KILOMETER-RANGE 122MM ROCKET WAS A BIT OUTRAGEOUS IN SUCH A SHIP-BASED CONDITION AS A FRIGATE, THE WAVE STABILITY OF THE FRIGATE PLATFORM HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM. But in 1950, no one expected to attack with the maximum range, as long as they were willing to get close to the attack, the accuracy was still good. Besides, the brigade-level twin-mounted 130mm main gun is not vegetarian, although the shells cost tens of thousands of yuan a round, which is extremely expensive, but it can't be taken care of so much when fighting.
In order to prevent the US Navy from suddenly inserting a lever into the country, the Qingdao base of the North Sea Fleet has transferred half of its manpower from the Navy's only one that is currently overstaffed to the Xining, which is almost double and can no longer be overstaffed, and has reorganized the crew required for the 051 Brigade to start the 134-ship Zunyi destroyer. The kind of training measures that the Navy has been engaged in before, such as two or even three people in one post, is indeed very suitable for short-term riots, and as for the level of the crew, it can only be gradually improved in the future. At present, only the meeting is required, not the refinement.
Due to the rush of time, these crew members are completely unable to master all the performance of the brigade class, but fortunately, it is better than nothing, and for the new Chinese People's Navy from scratch, at least for the time being, there is better than nothing.
Through the early naval battles, our navy has won successive battles, and the number of Kuomintang sailors rescued and captured from the water has reached more than 1,000, and our army has won the sincere surrender of the vast majority of them through ideological education, plus the skilled Jishu backbone drawn from the original 516 ship Jiujiang and 511 ship Nantong, plus more soldiers who have been transferred from the PLA Army to the Navy, and won the 519 Changzhi, 517 Nanping, and 518 Ji'an three 053H Jianghu-class frigates in one fell swoop.
As a result, the current strength of the North Sea Fleet has grown to two 051 Brigade large-class destroyers and five 053H Jianghu type frigates.
As for the ten 037 hunting submarines and ten 024 missile speedboats brought by Xiaoqiangxin, the navy is basically not difficult to master, through the former Kuomintang naval officers and soldiers who surrendered to Cheng and the jishu backbone on the original ten 037 ten 024, the 024 missile speedboats and 037 hunting submarines of the North Sea Fleet have reached the scale of 20 warlike boats each.
The 20 6625 double-barreled torpedo boats and 20 026 double-barreled torpedo boats brought back by Xiaoqiang this time are also combat boats that have no jishu content and can be operated by old sailors.
In this strait blockade battle, the 037 submarine hunter and the 024 missile boat will be paired with one plus one to form 20 squads. These 20 detachments will form two brigades to carry out maritime protection on the routes for our landing and supply from the north and south sides of the strait. Two of the four torpedo boat formations were to patrol the coasts of Fuzhou and Xiamen, while the other two followed the main fleet of the North Sea Fleet in the strait, playing the role of assault death squads.
The two 033 submarines, which have been training since the beginning of January, have finally completed all the necessary primary subject training and are now able to carry out primary combat missions thanks to the continuous efforts of the officers and men of the new Chinese Navy. This time, two 033-class submarines, two brigade-class destroyers, and five Jianghu-class frigates will join hands to lurk in front of the fleet and form a naval task force to resist the threat of the US fleet.
As for the Air Force, Commander Liu Yalou has been so busy lately that he has not even had time to eat a serious bite of food, and more than 300 Li-2 transport planes that have arrived from the Soviet Union have already arrived at Shenyang Airport. The 200 pilots who were sent to the Soviet Union for training in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China were also trained by the Soviet side and transferred to 50 groups of Li-2 transport aircraft pilots.
The first batch of 30 Li-2 crew pilots urgently trained by the Soviet Union for us were organized into a temporary transport aircraft group and stationed at Fuzhou Airport after hastily regrouping, ready to carry out air supply to the vanguard troops landing on Taiwan. The remaining 20 groups will return to China after completing the training.
In addition, China once again sent 200 trainees to Vladivostok for training as pilots of the Ri-2 transport aircraft.
Judging from the method of short-distance transportation of the Li-2 with a light load of 3 tons, each wave of the 30 Li-2s can carry out 90 tons of material supply for our landing troops, and if it is only replenished once a day, it can basically meet the food and ammunition consumption of 40,000 people of the integrated 27th Army in this era for a day's operations.
In terms of fighter planes, the Air Force has finally achieved the formation of the Air Force Sixth Division, the first fighter division fully equipped with Jian-6 fighters. The two regiments and four brigades of the former 5th Air Division will all be composed of Jian-5 fighters, and one Jian-6 group within the 5th Air Division will be transferred to the newly established 6th Air Division.
This also means that the First Air Force composed of the 5th Air Division and the 6th Air Force Division has been officially established. After that, the central government quickly officially awarded the number of the First Air Force and announced that it had been successfully formed. The current combat mission of air defense in the strait will be independently completed by the newly established First Air Force.
The antiaircraft artillery brigade and radar regiment attached to the 1st Air Force were deployed in place after emergency preparations, and the heavy training tasks carried out every day kept the 1st Air Force very busy.
In consideration of the campaign to liberate Taiwan and the strategic defense needs after the liberation, the central authorities decided to reorganize the 35th Army of the army directly under the direct jurisdiction of Sanye and transfer the entire army to work on the spot, and all the subordinate divisions of the 94th and 95th divisions were changed to railway engineering troops, and they went all out to build the Yingxia Railway from Yingtan to Nanping to Xiamen, and changed the construction standard from the combat readiness line to the standard line.
Historically, in order to prevent the U.S. Army and Lao Chiang from attacking the hinterland directly after landing, Fujian Province has not had a second railway line out of the province except for the Yingxia Railway that was built as a combat readiness line in 1959, and it was not until the 80s that the second passage out of the province from Fuzhou to Nanping and then to Hengfeng in Jiangxi Province was built. Now that the central authorities have decided on the strategy of taking Taiwan by a dead end, at the same time as the construction of the Yingxia Railway, the construction of the Fengfu Railway from Fuzhou to Nanping and then to Hengfeng in Jiangxi Province has begun, so as to ensure the smooth transportation of front-line logistical supplies and materials.
At the same time, the central government ordered the construction of two other airports on the basis of the original Fuzhou airport in Fuzhou. Xiamen has also built two additional airfields, so that there will be six airfields along the coast of Fujian where the air force can be deployed.
In addition, the people's governments of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces mobilized the people to form a contingent of migrant workers to rush to repair and widen the highway from Fuzhou to Wenzhou. Strive to make Fujian a province with smooth access and basically complete railway and highway transportation in a short period of time.
At this moment, the whole of Fujian has become a big construction site, and this long-term mountainous and poor province in history is destined to move from poverty to prosperity ahead of schedule because of the liberation of Taiwan, and complete the transportation network with the whole country.
