547: Oh no, chase after it
With the passage of time, the fleet gradually cleared out the Japanese shore fire force, coupled with the fire suppression of the landed marines, the underground right led the Japanese troops to flee in a hurry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After there was no threat, the landing fleet drove its ships to a place less than two kilometers away from the coastline without any scruples, and at this distance, the landing craft could basically run back and forth every 10 minutes, and the landing force's projection capacity was also increased.
And with the landing of more and more troops, the Marine Corps also began to gradually expand the scope of the landing field, of course, there are so many landing craft, the field is useless, this expansion of the scope refers to the beginning of the inland advance, and those who were driven to the battlefield by the Japanese army, and the Taiwan army that survived in the end, was arranged separately to the side to watch and detained, the wounded of the Japanese army also received simple treatment, but there is no need to think about medicine or something, this is impossible for them to use.
More and more troops were landing, and the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the 204th Division also began to land when the landing force reached 3,000 people, and now there is basically no threat on the shore, and the Japanese army had only more than 20,000 troops in Taiwan before, and after the tense situation in Taiwan, the Japanese base camp urgently increased three divisions and regiments, and expanded the original two divisions to a full state, but even so, the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan were only a little more than 100,000.
They used a large number of troops to gather in Siming Prefecture (Xiamen) and Shantou, successfully attracting the attention of the Japanese army to the corresponding area on the opposite bank, and built relatively complete fortifications there, but the battlefield where the first guns fired the landing battle were not the place where the two sides had gathered a large number of troops, but Kaohsiung, which no one cared about before.
In the original plan, on May 1, the 1st Brigade of the 204th Marine Division landed in Kaohsiung first, and then stationed there for two days, and attracted the Japanese troops from the north to come to intercept it, and two days later, the 2nd Brigade of the 204th Division arrived on the battlefield. After that, the plan of adding an infantry brigade every other day will continue to land on Taiwan from Kaohsiung, and a week after the start of the war, the strength of troops near Kaohsiung will reach the size of one marine division and two infantry divisions for a total of three divisions.
Then they began to move north, and attacked the Japanese defense area in an all-out way.
Before that, that is, the day after the successful landing of the 204th Division and the 2nd Brigade, the landing troops in Siming Prefecture and Shantou would launch a landing plan, but due to the problem of transportation capacity, the plan to occupy Taiwan was not radical, and according to the original plan, they planned to completely occupy all the urban areas of Taiwan in one month and the entire territory of Taiwan within three months.
Three months is the deadline, but everyone believes that it will not take so long to occupy Taiwan, because the local anti-Japanese forces will help them, and there are many local patriots in Taiwan who will support them, recover their territory, and have an advantage in all aspects, there is no reason why it will take such a long time.
But a plan is a plan, and no matter what happens in reality, a plan made before the war is the result of taking all kinds of circumstances into account, and if you can complete the task before the plan, then it is naturally the best outcome.
After landing on the land of Taiwan, Jiang Baili suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart, this is the largest overseas territory recovered by the empire at present, and for Taiwan, Jiang Baili's memory is not so clear, but a little vague, I remember that when Taiwan was ceded, he was just a thirteen-year-old child, and he didn't know what it meant back then?
Now, however, the task of recovering Taiwan is to be completed in his hands, and there is no doubt that Jiang Baili and Lu Quan have become the highest-ranking military generals in China's native army to ascend to Taiwan so far. However, the first title was snatched away by Lu Quan, who was a brigadier general, so Jiang Baili could only occupy the title of the highest-ranking officer of the General Staff who was the first to land on Taiwanese soil.
The shore can faintly still see the slightest bright red, the remains of the fallen soldiers were placed on the beach, which makes people inexplicably have a sad feeling, they also landed on the land of Taiwan, but they did not have the opportunity to see more of the scenery here, when they came, they were still alive and vigorous, and when they went back, they could only lie there, but there was no way, this is war, for the rise of the Chinese Empire, someone must make such a sacrifice.
Jiang Baili and Lu Quan inspected the two lines of defense arranged by the Japanese army under the protection of the soldiers, the defense line is very simple, used for ordinary foot combat, this kind of fortification is basically enough, but in the face of the huge ship cannon owned by the landing force, such a fortification is a little too thin, the trench of pure civil structure, and even the secondary guns of the naval guns are difficult to resist, and it is really difficult for the Japanese army, to face an opponent like them, and it is still in various situations where they do not have an advantage.
Behind the defensive line, there is a large area of farmland, and not far away there is a small village and town, about a few hundred families, faintly, you can see the town empty, sparsely populated.
"According to the report, those people were all strong men forcibly recruited by the Japanese army from Kaohsiung and Tainan, without any training, and were pulled to the small town of Nahaiwei in advance, and were driven here by the Japanese army after the battle began, and were ordered to rush to our defense line, and the Japanese army mixed in with the intention of taking the opportunity to drive the early landing force into the sea. It is understood that these people are mainly police officers and people with Japanese education, and their families are relatively wealthy. Before our troops opened fire, they heard shouts of all the Chinese lying down, and most of these people were people who heard the shouts and fell to the ground, or tripped over the people in front of them and survived. A staff officer walked to the defensive line and reported to Jiang Baili.
He was ordered to investigate the situation of the Taiwan troops, and no matter what the specific reasons were, or what kind of hardships they had in between, it was an indisputable fact that the Jindadi battalion first opened fire on civilians.
The investigation is not to create trouble for Jin Dadiying, but to give them a reasonable explanation, to put it more simply, in fact, it is to go through a process and let there be a record on it. Questioning the parties and signing the pledge is the most authentic evidence, as long as there is such evidence, no one can trouble them.
"How's the Japanese garrison?" Jiang Baili continued to ask. Before all the troops landed, there would be no movement on his side, so he also took this opportunity to learn more about the situation.
"The garrison situation is similar to what we know, there is only the 71st Wing known as the Underground Wing, with a total of about 4,000 people, according to the bodies of the Japanese soldiers we found, it was judged that the Japanese troops taken away by the well right were less than 1,700 people, and according to the inquiry just now, it was found that the remnants of the Japanese army on the right side of the well were divided into two parts, one of which was about 1,000 people went to the direction of Kaohsiung, and the other 5,600 people fled in the direction of Tainan."
"Kaohsiung? Tainan? Jiang Baili frowned tightly, the Japanese army was insufficient, shouldn't it gather troops at this time? What are the benefits of dividing troops for the Japanese army at this time? This doesn't seem to fit the Japanese style.
Less than 10 kilometers to the southwest is Kaohsiung, less than 20 kilometers to the north is Tainan, and about 40 kilometers to the east can go into the mountains; if the Japanese army wants to escape, it can go north or east, and the landing force will not have the time to chase them, even if they want to fight guerrilla warfare, they can also learn to occupy the mountains as the king of the rebel forces and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack.
But most people go to Kaohsiung, and a small number of people go to Tainan, what kind of stalk is this?
"It's not good...... Jiang Baili said subconsciously in surprise, fuck, it's still careless.
"Chief of Staff, what's wrong?" Lu Quan, who was on the side, couldn't help but wonder when he heard Jiang Baili's surprise.
"Brigade Commander Lu, please immediately send the 1st and 2nd Battalions to Kaohsiung, and the 3rd Battalion to Tainan to pursue the fleeing Japanese troops, if I guess correctly, the Japanese devils may want to blow up the dock." Jiang Baili hurriedly said.
He didn't think of this before, but when he thought of their plan later, he suddenly realized the intentions of the Japanese, once the docks in Kaohsiung and Tainan were bombed, then it would be a tragedy, and the landing ground they had finally laid down would also be declared a failure, without a dock, the large army would not be able to land at all, although there is still a dock in Donggang on the Kaohsiung side, but who dares to guarantee that the Japanese will not blow up the Donggang wharf? Moreover, the scale of the East Port Terminal is not large, and it is difficult for large ships to enter.
If the Japanese plan succeeded, even if they succeeded, it would only be this one brigade, and even the second brigade behind them would be difficult to land, and even cut off all their supplies.
Hearing Jiang Baili's words, Lu Quan was also suddenly startled, and hurriedly ordered the first and second battalions to step up their march to Kaohsiung, and the third battalion quickly rushed to Tainan, and after arriving there, not to fight the Japanese army, just occupy the dock as soon as possible.
The first brigade has three regiments, but now there is only one regiment of troops that have successfully landed, and there is no way, Lu Quan can only disassemble this regiment first, and then wait for the troops behind to land and send them to the battlefield battalion by battalion with refueling tactics.
The dock is particularly important to them, and in the next plan, the dock in the entire northern region of Taiwan may not exist, because there are more Japanese troops there, and they have a greater chance of blowing up the dock before losing the defensive line, so in the plan, the two docks of Tainan and Kaohsiung will be the material supply base for the combat forces against Taiwan in the future, once these two docks are gone, what are they playing? Sooner or later, the troops that have already landed will be dragged to death on the supply line. (To be continued.) )
