Chapter 473 is urgent

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

The U.S. bomber group arrived on the battlefield in time and quickly turned the tide of the battle. Meng Fei saw that such a dense bombardment was like a Shura field, and he knew in his heart that the Japanese attack had been disintegrated. Many of the soldiers had never seen such a frenzied bombing scene and seemed to be stunned. Meng Fei tried to move his left arm, but it felt okay. "Company commander, inform the troops to hurry up and transport the wounded down." There was no echo from the side. Meng Fei turned his head to see that the head of a company was leaning on the butt of the machine gun and seemed to be asleep. Meng Fei realized that it was not good, and hurriedly checked and found that the bullet in the heart of the first company of Changmei had been sacrificed.

Just as the US bomber group rushed to the sky over the battlefield, the third group of transport planes also arrived over Dajia Airport. The first transport plane landed and stopped, and Mu Shixiong was the first to step off the plane and said to Zhang Cheng, the commander of the special operations regiment: "The time is very urgent, and the troops must be assembled quickly. "Yes!" Zhang Cheng shouted loudly, and each of them gathered at the airport with their weapons. At this time, Liu Yalou, commander of the airborne division, stepped forward, and the two sides saluted each other without superfluous politeness. "Commander Mu, we have captured a large number of Japanese motorcycles and trucks at the airport, and they are ready for you." As Liu Yalou spoke, an operational staff officer unfolded a map on the ground.

"Commander Mu, the Japanese coastal artillery is located on the south side of Wanli and has 15 batteries. I sent a reconnaissance detachment, and the reconnaissance detachment will report back to you on the specific situation. After the capture of Dajia Airport, the Japanese army dispatched an armored regiment from Wanli. After the Japanese armored regiment was repulsed, it did not launch another attack, and the blocking force reported that the Japanese armored regiment retreated to Wanli, and it was estimated that the Japanese coast guard had discovered the sea-crossing fleet. "I see!" Mu Shixiong glanced at his watch, there were still 5 minutes and 7 o'clock, and the time was too urgent. At this time, the transport plane was still landing.

"Captain Zhang, how many people have landed?" "About three hundred!" "The soldiers who ordered the landing to get into the car and set off first, and the officers and soldiers who landed later followed." The soldiers had to be ordered to get on their motorcycles first, and a few minutes later more than a hundred two motorcycles and several trucks were the first to set off. The special forces who landed later got off the plane and got directly into the truck to follow, and the scene was very chaotic. Mu Shixiong sat on a sidecar motorcycle and secretly rejoiced. Thanks to the seizure of so many motorcycles and trucks, how much time would have been delayed otherwise. Mu Shixiong knew in his heart that every minute and every second was related to the safety of the troops crossing the sea.

According to the original battle plan, they followed the 2nd group of airborne troops to the airfield, and had ample time to attack the Japanese coastal batteries. However, the situation changed abruptly, and the Japanese army not only sent armored troops, but also sent reinforcements from the south. The plan was disrupted, and the special forces under the command of Mu Shixiong had to go to Dajia Airport in the third batch. Commander Ouyang personally sent a telegram to himself, asking for the capture of the Japanese coastal batteries before 8 o'clock, and did not give a death order, apparently considering its difficulty. Time was so tight that if an attack on the battery was launched before 8 o'clock, it would interfere with the strike effect of the Japanese battery, and the pressure on the troops crossing the sea could be reduced.

In fact, Mu Shixiong understood that the reason why Ouyang Jian made a request was completely an expression of confidence. At critical moments, commanders must have confidence in victory. Motorbikes and trucks move unobstructed on the road, as if no one was in a no-man's land. Assuming that the Japanese armored regiment remained on the road, the time for the capture of the Japanese batteries would have been greatly delayed. The reason why the Japanese army allowed the armored regiment, which had suffered heavy losses, to retreat to Wanli was that the Japanese army had a heavy force from the south of the airport, and it was easy to recapture the airfield, second, the armored regiment suffered serious losses and was unable to launch another attack, and third, the army crossing the sea appeared on the sea surface of Wanli. Moreover, the Japanese command made a mistake in its judgment and believed that there was no problem with the 41st Division recapturing the Dajia airfield.

The 112th Coast Guard Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for the defense of the coast of Wanli, had a strength of about 5,000 troops (including 500 coastal artillery). When the enemy landing fleet appeared on the sea, the commander of the Japanese brigade, Murakami Masaji, was a little unimpressed. This guy is about 60 years old, participated in World War I, and can be described as very experienced. "The enemy is really whimsical, the 92 infantry guns can sink the enemy's wooden boats, this is holding eggs against stones. Order the coastal artillery to get ready for battle, and I will let the enemy fleet die in the sea. Murakami said conceitedly with his gray beard.

"General, the enemy has captured the Dajia airfield. Its combat effectiveness was so strong that the light armored regiment lost half of its vehicles in less than an hour of fierce fighting. If the enemy attacks from behind, the situation is not optimistic. One of his subordinates said worriedly. There is no need to worry, the 41st Division will recapture the airfield from scratch. The 18th Division had already been dispatched from Taichung, and the vanguard would arrive at 10 o'clock. This is the time for us to make a contribution to Japan. The defending troops were ordered to organize artillery fire, and we were to destroy the enemy on the sea. "Murakami has no problem relying on his previous combat experience, but he has just ignored the characteristics of modern warfare, especially this three-dimensional combat mode, which he has not yet experienced.

Mu Shixiong led his troops to meet two responding soldiers sent by the reconnaissance detachment of the Airborne Forces at a distance of 7 kilometers, and directly south of this place was the Japanese army's coastal position. Mu Shixiong ordered to immediately get out of the car and advance to the coast, about 1 km from the coast, where he met a reconnaissance detachment. "Give you a minute to introduce the enemy!" "Report to Commander Mu, the Japanese coastal batteries are 15 with a gun caliber of 152 mm. There are two squadrons of guard units, report is complete! "As soon as the commander of the reconnaissance detachment finished speaking, the Japanese artillery began to bombard." The sea-crossing troops attacked, and every minute and every second was terrifying for the safety of the sea-crossing troops. The enemy situation is roughly like this, immediately launch an attack and quickly seize the Japanese battery! Blockers stay! ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers quickly dispersed and rushed towards the Japanese battery. The location chosen by the Japanese battery is a high point, and this section of the coastline is a cliff. Soon more than ten snipers gathered around Mu Shixiong, and Mu Shixiong said: "Leave one person and tell the people who come up behind that the target is the free attack of the Japanese battery!" Mu Shixiong led the snipers as he marched forward and ordered: "Our task is to cover the attack, each choose a favorable position, and hunt the enemy." Mu Shixiong approached the fort, and a special soldier stopped Mu Shixiong and said, "Commander, Commander Zhang ordered me to hold you!" ”

As a commander, he can't get into danger, and it is beyond reproach for Commander Zhang to do so. Only 500 meters from the battery, Mu Shixiong chose a position and pressed his eyes to the scope. "Commander, it's been a long time since you've touched a gun!" The guards muttered beside him, his eyes on high alert. At this time, the soldiers rushed to the Japanese battery in a skirmish line, and the Japanese guards hurriedly met the battle. Mu Shixiong was facing the central battery, several soldiers approached the battery, the Japanese army blocked in the fortification, and a Japanese machine gun with crooked handles fired wildly. Mu Shixiong aimed at the target and did not wait for the trigger to be pulled, and the Japanese machine-gun duze was obviously killed.

The Japanese machine guns were silent, and several soldiers reached out and jumped into the trench with agility. Mu Shixiong knew that this Japanese battery had succeeded, and sure enough, this battery stopped shelling. The two squadrons of Japanese soldiers were no match at all, and their resistance was minimal in the face of the wolf-like special forces. At this time, a large number of Japanese troops appeared on the north side, apparently coming for reinforcements. Mu Shixiong moved the muzzle of his gun to aim at a Japanese officer, who was undoubtedly knocked down. At this time, a team of special forces came up from behind. Seeing the Japanese soldiers, the special forces immediately spontaneously killed the Japanese soldiers. With the arrival of a steady stream of follow-up troops, there was no suspense in the battle.

Mu Shixiong entered the central fort and first glanced at his watch, and the minute hand pointed to 8:20. He raised his binoculars and looked out to sea, where the sea was a mess, littered with fragments of wooden boats and the corpses of soldiers, many of whom were swimming in the sea. Seeing such a scene, Mu Shixiong felt a little heartbroken. "Tell Commander Zhang that the battle must end before 9 o'clock!" With the cannons firing one after another, the Marine Brigade approached the land in rubber boats. "Good job!" Mu Shixiong praised it in his heart.

There was chaos in the Japanese coastal defense headquarters. "It was reported that the enemy troops captured the battery, and the troops reinforcing the battery were routed." A subordinate reported urgently. Murakami's face turned pale, and his lips couldn't help but tremble. Two squadrons of Japanese soldiers were wiped out in an instant, which was simply incredible. "Report, 10 batteries lost!" At this time, a Japanese captain in charge of reinforcements, with a bandage on his arm, ran in and said: "Report to the general, my troops have been dealt a heavy blow, and in less than 20 minutes, the officer has suffered average losses." The enemy is coming up with special forces! ”

Murakami Masalu was shocked, "Order all departments to defend to the death, and swear to live and die with the position!" Then he picked up the phone and called: "Our battery was attacked by enemy special forces, and the battery changed hands. The enemy's sea-crossing force was approaching the shore, and our troops were in danger, so we asked for rapid reinforcements. The headquarters of the Japanese army in Taipei, Shanxi Fengwen held the phone in his hand and said: "Reinforcements will arrive soon, be sure to defend it!" Yamashita put down the phone and turned pale. The chief of staff of the Japanese army said: "The 41st Division was devastated, and the division commander Naotoshi Hasegawa was seriously wounded. Enemy planes bombed in batches, and the troops had dispersed and retreated. ”

"Report, the 18th Division was attacked by enemy aircraft on the way!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. "Order the 18th Division to rush to Wanli at any cost!" Yamashita was a little exhausted. "Report, Commander Okamura is calling!" The chief of staff of the Japanese army received the telegram and reported: "General, Commander Okamura strictly orders to dispatch the main force in Taichung, and take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to destroy the enemy's landing force!" "It was reported that the 12th Division of the Taiwan Army fled south and was intercepted by the 41st Division. The chief of staff of the 41st Division demanded that the commander of the 12th Division of the Taiwan Army be severely punished! ”

Shanxi Fengwen said: "Now is a critical moment, and there can be no civil strife. The 12th Division of the Taiwan Army was ordered to withdraw to Tainan, and the chief of staff of Lai Gu was ordered to withdraw to the Changhua line to fortify on the spot. The chief of staff said: "General, the main force is dispatched from Taichung, and it is bound to be attacked by enemy planes, so it is recommended to advance in concealment, and when it reaches Wanli before dark, you can use the night to launch an attack." "Where did the 18th Division arrive?" "The vanguard of the 18th Division was bombed by a large number of enemy planes, and it was originally scheduled to arrive in Wanli at 10 a.m., but it was estimated that it would be delayed by three hours."

It can be said that disasters are not alone, and blessings are not double. "Report, Wanli's communication was interrupted, and Murakami Masaji decided to live and die with Wanli." An operational staff officer made an urgent report. "The special operations forces of the Eighth Route Army were put into operation, as evidenced by the fact that the batteries changed hands in such a short time. The enemy special forces freed up their hands to attack the defenders, and Murakami Masaji could not resist it at all. The use of airborne troops to seize airfields and the use of air transport to deliver special forces is a completely new method of warfare. The military experts in the base camp are all rice buckets, and we fell for the enemy. ”

"We have huge shipyards, but how many aircraft factories are there? The powerful air power of modern warfare is the magic weapon for victory, and when we realize this, we regret it too late! Yamashita Fengwen sighed.
