648: Battle of Kagoshima
In the headquarters at all levels, the sound of ticking telegrams continued one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little depressing, and the tense mood spread throughout the air. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What about the Navy? Is the Navy coming? Hua Chunyong, the commander of the 51st Division, frowned tightly and asked the chief of staff beside him.
"The navy just arrived in Akune three days ago, and returned to the mainland at noon yesterday, and according to expectations, it will take about two days to return at the earliest." The chief of staff also responded at a loss.
If it was just a land attack, the 51st Division would not have been afraid of anyone, but Nima's navy wanted them to find a way to take down the Japanese warships docked in Kagoshima, which would be a dead end, there were warships docked there in Kagoshima, although most of those warships were injured ships waiting for repair, but they were still combative.
These warships were docked in the harbor, and relying on the ship's guns alone, they were able to provide the army with powerful firepower, and these firepower were by no means comparable to the army.
The artillery fire of the army was inferior to that of the Japanese navy in terms of range and power, which gave the soldiers of the 51st Division a headache.
The violent explosion that broke out earlier was actually a blessing in misfortune, because there was no line of sight, the Japanese Navy could only rely on the feeling to open fire, and as a result, a shell accidentally hit a small Japanese arsenal, resulting in a martyrdom, and a squadron stationed there lost more than half of its strength.
There is no coordination, and this is the biggest problem that the Japanese army is facing now.
This point can indeed be used by the 51st Division, but if they don't knock out the Japanese naval artillery firepower, even if they can win this battle, they will definitely not win so easily. When the battle progressed to a certain extent, the Japanese infantry only needed to retreat to the line of sight of the naval guns, and the power of the naval guns could directly threaten the attacking infantry.
And even if it is called a small-caliber gun on the naval gun, its caliber is at least 50 mm or more, and more are more than 100 mm. Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that the shells on the ship's guns were mainly armor-piercing, and the impact of the explosion did not seem to be so great.
But this is definitely not a reason for the 51st Division to let down its guard.
"Damn, the navy is not here, how can we fight this battle? And what about aviation? Can aviation come? Hua Chunyong continued to ask.
"I can't come, the aircraft carrier formation is with the transport formation, and Lu Genji is the reason for the airport, and it is planned to land in two days, and support can be provided in three days."
"Then how do you fight?" Hua Chunyong couldn't help but roar.
The enemy has warships to provide fire support, so even if you grit your teeth and fight for greater losses, it is not impossible to occupy Kagoshima, but the navy still wants them to capture the Japanese warship, is it so easy to capture a warship? Moreover, the capture of a warship also requires many conditions to be met at the same time.
Suddenness, this is a must, before the enemy can react, to control the main sector of the warship. Another is that when the enemy ships run out of ammunition, the two warships go directly to it, and then the infantry lands and destroys them one by one. Then there is the enemy's voluntary surrender, and in addition to these three conditions, it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy warship can be controlled under other circumstances.
And just like the current situation, let alone captured, they are thankful that they can get close to the Japanese warships.
The Japanese warships docked in the port for maintenance, that is just maintenance, this does not mean that the Japanese warships have lost power or firepower, once they find that there is danger, if there is no navy on the periphery to block their back road, are the Japanese fools? Won't they run away?
And even if it was some warships that lost power, wouldn't the Japanese have laid a lot of explosives on them in advance? When the soldiers who occupied the ship boarded the ship, they detonated the explosives on it, and at least hundreds of people could be killed.
With the urine nature of the Japanese, Hua Chunyong had no doubt that the Japanese would do this. In this case, without the support of the Navy, without the support of aviation, just a fifty-first division, how can they go and capture warships?
Just those Japanese infantry on the periphery, even if they don't fight, can at least delay for a few hours, right? A few hours is enough time for the warship to make all the preparations.
"If we can fight, we will fight, and if we can't, we will not fight, we are infantry, not the navy, and the operational arrangements will naturally depend on us first." The chief of staff said without hesitation.
…………
The sky gradually began to rain lightly, and after a short period of effort, the light rain turned into moderate rain, and the Chinese soldiers also put on the raincoats in their backpacks, to be honest, wearing raincoats to fight, this kind of combat is not very popular with many soldiers, because it means that they have to put their tactical vests on the inside of the raincoats, change the magazine or something, and the speed is at least three times slower than before, which is not good news in the Chinese troops that pay attention to speed.
But in the face of the ghost weather in Japan, they have to wear raincoats, and if they get sick in this ghost place, they may cause other situations, and no one will be careless about their bodies.
Luckily, everyone is equipped with a steel helmet, and the helmet is also rainproof, so they don't have to wear a raincoat and hat to interfere with their vision.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no intention of stopping, but it is getting more and more intense, stepping on the ground step by step, the soft soil is mixed with a lot of muddy water, and after a short while, the boots on the soles of the feet have been soaked in muddy water, and the feet that have been soaked in muddy water for a long time have gradually begun to feel a little uncomfortable.
In front of a huge crater, Yin Jia stopped, stood on the edge of the crater, looked at the crater that had been poured a lot of water, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The power of the naval guns is really fucking fierce, if this hits us, one shot can kill two squads." ”
"Judging by the current situation, this artillery will have no problem killing at least one of our platoons." Xiao Douding once again regained his fighting spirit and stepped forward to quip.
"You don't have to kill one of us, it's enough to kill you, and the other Japanese girls in the province will suffer......"
"Fart, you can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth." Xiao Douding retorted with a red face.
"Yo? Xiaodouding has grown up, and he still dares to talk back, don't you? Several veterans looked at Xiao Douding with a smile and joked.
"There is a situation!" While several people stopped to joke with each other, the sniper was not idle, and the sniper was also responsible for the security of the entire class.
But under normal circumstances, everyone will look at the point, and the sniper is mainly responsible for, in fact, it is farther away, and this requires the help of a sniper scope.
When the team stopped, the sniper habitually put the sniper rifle on his arm, made a sniper posture, and circled around in place, but after a circle, he felt that there was a place that seemed to be a little suspicious, and then the sniper rifle was aimed at that place again, and after about ten seconds to watch, this confirmed his judgment just now.
'Hula! ’
With a sound, the soldiers of an entire company in the vicinity instantly fell to the ground, and the weapons in their hands were ready for battle at the same time.
"What's the situation?" Yin Jia asked a little puzzled, just now he also looked at the surrounding situation and found no abnormality, but everything is uncertain, this damn heavy rainy day has made his vision drop a lot, and it is purely normal to not be able to see the situation in the distance.
"At ten o'clock, about seven hundred meters or so, there is an ambush!" The sniper roared loudly, as loudly as the entire company could hear.
Seven hundred meters, in normal times, can be seen faintly with the naked eye, but now, let alone 700 meters, even 400 meters away, it may not be able to see clearly.
However, Yin Jia can't see clearly, it doesn't mean that others can't see clearly, for example, a few platoon commanders and company commanders, as well as other snipers, they used the equipment in their hands to observe the direction of ten o'clock.
At first, I didn't see anything abnormal, but after looking at it for a long time, I really saw something.
Although it was carefully camouflaged, some traces of man-made things gradually became apparent under the heavy rain, for example, most of the green branches, almost all of which were cut down from the trees and planted in the ground, and you can even faintly see the people behind the branches who are hiding there from the rain.
The Japanese army did not have raincoats, and if they sheltered from the rain, they could only rely on some existing conditions to do so, so they could only use dense branches and leaves to shelter from the rain.
However, in this way, it is destined to one thing, that is, where there are Japanese troops, the trees are unusually green, and there is a clear difference from other places, if you don't look carefully, you may not notice this, but as long as you look at it with a snack, you can see the problem at a glance.
In addition, the faint movement of human figures can be seen, which also proves that there are people there, and there should be quite a few people.
"One platoon, two platoons, three platoons, attack, four platoons remained to cover mortars and heavy fire." Soon, the company commander gave the battle order.
Basically, there is no need to be sure, there is no doubt that it must be the Japanese army who appears here at this moment.
The first is the size of this group of people, although there are so many ordinary people, but the way to shelter from the rain is not so neat and uniform, and it is also disguised. On the other hand, there are basically no large numbers of Japanese civilians here at this time.
Thinking of the attack, Yin Jia was still a little depressed, they were still a mechanized reconnaissance company, right? The company was equipped with sixteen armored reconnaissance vehicles and six trucks, and if their equipment was here, they would now just need to rush up in reconnaissance vehicles, and then the battle would be settled, and now they can only go down to the field to serve as infantry.
