632: Arc Position
"What's the situation? How did the aviation attack there? The actions of the aviation suddenly attracted the attention of the second wave of landing echelons, and on the originally quiet and somewhat frightening sea, bursts of restlessness suddenly broke out, and the commander of the 401st Marine Regiment Huang Hai frowned tightly, pointed to the position of the fighter-bomber attack in front and shouted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As the commander of the colonel, Huang Hai should not have appeared in the attack echelon, even if his duty was, according to common sense, he could only appear in the third or fourth echelon at the earliest.
Although only half of the second echelon was the troops of the 401st Regiment, the remaining half had already landed with the first batch of landing troops.
But Huang Hai felt that although he was not able to appear in the first echelon, his soldiers were in the first two echelons, and as the regiment commander, he should set an example for the whole regiment, even if he could not appear in the first echelon, at least he had to appear in the second echelon and land with the follow-up troops.
In his opinion, the officer protection regulations are only used in peacetime, and now under this special situation, the 401st Regiment has been lost by more than half, if he, the regimental commander, still does not appear on the front line, then the 401st Regiment is likely to be defeated, which is a morale rout.
Once such a rout occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it may even affect the subsequent landing force, resulting in the failure of the entire landing.
Regarding some questions about this landing plan, Huang Hai no longer had the heart to think about who was right and who was wrong, he just wanted to follow the troops to land as soon as possible, and then lead the remnants of the troops to kill the Japanese position, and then kill every Japanese to avenge the dead soldiers.
However, the order given by the superior was to wait for the order, which made the Yellow Sea full of strength and nowhere to go, so he could only lie in front of the landing craft, holding a telescope to sweep the situation of the position in front of him over and over again.
"Tuanza, could it be an arc-shaped position? Is the aviation now bombing the hidden positions of the Japanese army behind the beach? The chief of staff also frowned tightly, unlike the anger of the regiment commander Huang Hai, as the chief of staff, he must keep his head calm, even if the whole regiment loses more than half, he must remain calm.
"Arc position?" Huang Hai was stunned suddenly, as if he had been splashed with a basin of cold water, and shivered violently.
If it's really an arc position, it's really bad, there is no cover to use when landing, it's hard enough to deal with the enemy in front of you, and most of the cases can only rely on human life to pile up, if there is an arc position again, you will be flanked by the enemy before and after.
I don't know what about the others, but if the defenders are replaced by their 401 regiment, the Yellow Sea has absolute certainty that they will hold this place and let the enemy die as many as they want. The premise is that the ammunition is sufficient.
A small green mountain peak obscured everyone's view, and a little farther on the other side could vaguely see the three-dimensional position of the Japanese army, which had now been basically torn apart by the bombing, and looked miserable.
From the telescope, you can clearly see that the peak and the position behind it do not seem to be on the same level, and I vaguely feel a sense of dislocation.
Moreover, the three-dimensional position of the Japanese army began to disappear from the place obscured by the mountain peak, which means that the three-dimensional position of the Japanese army did not end at the peak, but continued to the farther place behind.
Then, there is a high probability that an arc position exists.
'Bang ......'
Huang Hai kicked hard on the door pedal of the landing craft, and roared with anger on his face: "Fuck, what are those people up there eating?" Why was such an important situation in the arc position not reported to us? Why did you choose to log in here? Japan is surrounded by the sea, and those dry rice eaters can't find other landing sites? ......"
In fact, the Yellow Sea really wronged the superiors, and the superiors already knew about this arc-shaped position when they formulated the landing plan, and there was a reason why they did not report it. The main reason is that the superiors do not think that this place can be deployed by the Japanese army.
In other words, as the commander-in-chief of the beach-grabbing landing, Jiang Baili was not able to get the most complete information.
The initial intelligence was collected by intelligence officers on the ground, and some of this information was accurate, and some of it was vague, after all, the conditions were limited, and it was impossible to get all the information so accurate. In addition, the Japanese army imposed martial law here in advance, and strictly forbade anyone to enter or leave, and moved away a large number of civilians, leaving only young and strong laborers, and the spy personnel spent a lot of money just to send the information out, so how could they have the energy to investigate one by one?
Again, the curved part of the arc position, although it is geographically important, is actually not very useful, there is not even a road on it, there are steep cliffs everywhere, even the medicine pickers generally do not dare to set foot easily, let alone the Japanese who have weapons and equipment, and have to fight there.
Therefore, when this information was handed over to the headquarters, the staff officers below selectively ignored this issue, believing that there could be no Japanese troops there, and that it was also very unsuitable for combat.
Because the staff officers below have already given the answer, Jiang Baili also selectively gave up there after reading the comments given by the staff officers below, because there is still a lot of work to do, Jiang Baili has no time to scrutinize them one by one, his job is to take over the semi-finished products completed by the staff officers below, and then find a way to bring them together to form an overall plan.
It is precisely for this reason that the arc position was mentioned in the information given in advance, and it was also slightly mentioned during the meeting, and it was not emphatically introduced. Then the division commander below naturally thought that there was no need there, so he did not convey the arc position to the combat troops below, and then caused the current result.
But fortunately, before the second batch of landing troops received the order to leave, the aviation had already discovered the anomaly there in advance, which was ignored by everyone, and it was there that the Japanese deployed their forces.
Unfortunately, the situation of the first landing troops is now unknown, and it is possible that they have even been completely wiped out, or they may still be struggling to support themselves, waiting for subsequent reinforcements to arrive.
However, the reinforcements were not far from them, but because there was no order to cooperate with the bombing of the air force, they were unable to wait for the order to land.
Generally speaking, there are still many loopholes in the plan for the landing operation this time, and even the entire plan cannot withstand careful scrutiny at all; judging from the current situation, the general command of the beach-grabbing landing operation led by Jiang Baili is so far full of loopholes and many problems have appeared.
"Tuanzao, orders from above!" The signal soldiers kept waiting by the radio, and after waiting for a minute or two, they finally waited for the attack order from their superiors, and they urgently handed over the order to the hands of Huang Hai.
'Our army discovered the Japanese Navy, the air force went to intercept it, and after the second air attack, the landing force launched a general attack, and there will be a formation of six planes to provide air support to the landing force at all times, pay attention to guidance, avoidance, and pay attention to the rear of your department. If necessary, the landing craft can be used as a cover. ’
Huang Hai put away the order to attack, and then quickly made a gesture to the signal soldier next to him, and then the signal man leaned out of the landing craft and gestured towards the landing craft around him, and then more and more landing craft made the same gesture until all the landing craft received the order.
On the other hand, the pressure on Huang Hai has also increased sharply, and the previous news is not good news for him, although there is a large-scale bombing by the air force, which has cleared the obstacles for them as much as possible, but the air force cannot provide them with a completely safe landing site, and this battle will eventually have to be fought by themselves.
And the other bad news is that the Japanese Navy has appeared. What does everyone know what this means?
This means that the landing force must defeat the Japanese troops on the beachhead as soon as possible, open up a safe landing site for the follow-up troops, and allow more troops to complete the landing in a shorter time.
And whether the aviation can stop the speed of the Japanese Navy, no one knows at present, anyway, when you turn your head and look at it, the naval fleet escorting the escort is in battle formation. (The escort formation and the battle formation are not the same, the main point of the escort formation is a reasonable layout, a warship escorts several ships of different sizes, and the position of the warship should be located in the eye of the formation, if necessary, the warship needs to be used to block the enemy's shells, torpedoes and other attack means, to avoid excessive losses of the protected ships, this is a heavy defensive and light offensive formation.) The battle formation is relatively balanced between attack and defense, and is biased towards attack. )
As for the news of the arrival of the Japanese Navy, the Yellow Sea did not tell everyone, which only made them more nervous and put a heavier burden on their shoulders, and this pressure should be borne by the officers.
The formation of planes in the sky has been significantly reduced, originally they could fly over a wave in a few minutes, but now it takes almost five or six minutes to see a wave, and this time is getting longer and longer, Huang Hai knows that next, they may need to wait for a wave of planes to wait for a wave of support.
However, the air support Huang Hai didn't care, what he cared about was the attack on the ground, the lack of heavy weapons in the marines, which also doomed them to be not good at attacking fortifications, but now the battle has obviously become a tough battle, and he must find a way to overcome this problem.
I only hope that the aviation forces can take out as many Japanese firepower points as possible, especially behind the arc position, otherwise, the second landing force may be the same as the first landing force.
