Chapter 1855: The Great Victory II
readx;
The military port of Calcutta, located on the western edge of the city, only five kilometers away from Fort New William, can dock 10,000-ton warships, before the British built it as a military port in the last century, it is a natural deep lake with the commercial port to the west, and is connected to the Hooghly River by canals. At half past four o'clock www.biquge.info in the morning, everything was silent, and the entire military port was still asleep. The commander of the naval base, Takagi Daisa, was awakened by a burst of urine, walked out of the room with his legs between his legs, came to the toilet urinal and took out a word to release water happily, and suddenly heard a strange roar in the distant sky, and a thrill in his heart quickly stopped peeing, stuffed the wet words back into his crotch, quickly shot out of the toilet, came to the grass outside, and looked up carefully. However, in the dark sky, it was not visible, but the roar was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it had flown overhead in this short time. No matter how hard Takagi tried, he couldn't see what was happening, and the great fear suddenly cleared his mind, and he pulled out the southern pistol on his waist and fired a shot, then shouted "air raid by the Na people" and ran towards the barracks. At this time, the devil sailors and the marines guarding the base ran out of the barracks one after another. It has to be said that the military quality of the devil soldiers is very high, although they can't see what is happening, they still run towards the air defense position, and soon the searchlight illuminates the night sky. The sailors of the ships docked in the military port also entered a state of imminent battle, and came to the gun positions one after another, ready to deal a fatal blow to the invading enemy. As the roar grew louder and louder, white parachutes suddenly appeared in the sky. "It's the paratroopers of the Zhina people, pay attention to aiming and shooting, and try to kill the Shina soldiers before they land" Takagi Admiral Osa shouted loudly, and the devils who were not in the air defense position also pointed their guns at the sky.
Parachutes fluttered in the wind, and as they got closer and closer to the ground, they were almost all locked by searchlights, the sound of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns sounded intensively, some parachutes were accurately hit, and the devils on the ground let out huge cheers. The roar in the sky gradually faded away, the parachutes became fewer and fewer, and the devils became more and more excited, all thinking in their hearts that they had successfully repelled the attack of the Anjia Army Air Force, and some of the devils hiding in the barracks couldn't help but rush to the open grass, and the devils on the ships came to the deck one after another, looking up to admire the majestic posture of the air defense troops. At this moment, the last three parachutes scattered over the port, the barracks and the naval building were accurately hit by ground anti-aircraft fire, and before the devils had time to cheer, three muffled explosions suddenly sounded in mid-air, and this explosion sound was like a muffled thunder, no fire, no shrapnel, nothing. The devils looked at each other, nothing happened, just when they turned their eyes into the air again, three dazzling beams of bright light suddenly burst in mid-air, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in firelight, and the flames spread from heaven to earth, and each devil felt as if his throat was being clamped by an iron tong after breathing, and he couldn't breathe in a trace of air. The entire military port, at this moment, seems to be turned into a flaming hell, scorching, stuffy, struggling, fearing, and finally going to death, which is almost the common feeling of many devils. At this time, a huge roar sounded in the air again, and a huge group of planes once again flew towards the city of Calcutta, except for some of them to bomb the strategic points of the city of Kolkata indiscriminately, and some of them flew over the military port and dropped a large number of parachutes. Most of the devils have been eliminated in combat positions, and although a few devils survived by luck, due to the extreme lack of oxygen in the brain, they could not control the body to react, and were soon controlled by the landing Anjia Army paratroopers and began to seize the ship. At the same time, some paratroopers made every effort to clear the debris from the runway of the airfield attached to the military port, and when the first light appeared in the eastern sky, transport planes landed one after another, bringing not only a large amount of weapons and equipment, but also the officers and men of the Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet, and began to manipulate the ships captured in the port. The corpses of the devil sailors were removed from the deck, and the tragic situation of their seven holes of bleeding made the officers and men of the navy who took over the ship not clear that these ghost stores were destroyed by weapons.
In fact, this is the lethal effect caused by the cloud burst bomb newly researched by the Syrian Research Institute. The main charge of a cloudburst bomb is a cloudburst charge, which is a high-energy fuel, not an explosive. When the explosive reaction occurs, it relies on its own oxygen supply, and when the cloud burst bomb explodes, it makes full use of the oxygen in the atmosphere in the explosion area, and under certain detonation conditions, the cloud burst agent is thrown away, mixed with the air and explodes violently, and its destructive effect on the target mainly depends on the overpressure and temperature field effect produced by the detonation, as well as the scouring effect of the detonation products of high temperature and high pressure. When the cloudburst bomb is dropped or launched over the target, the mother bomb is detonated under the action of a special fuse, and the fuel in the missile body is evenly dispersed in the air, which is fully mixed with the air to form an aerosol in a suspended state, and gathers over the target to form a cover, like a dense fog. When the aerosol reaches a certain concentration, the fuse detonates for the second time in the air, and the entire fog mass explodes, releasing a large amount of heat energy in an instant, forming a high-temperature and high-pressure fireball, the temperature of which is usually about 2500C, and rapidly expands at a speed of 2000 to 2500 meters per second to achieve the purpose of destroying the target.
Because the detonation of the cloud burst bomb is dozens of times longer than that of ordinary bombs, and the intrusion of its high temperature and high pressure into the target is also dozens of times longer, the destructive effect is much greater than that of ordinary bombs. Because the cloud detonation will consume the surrounding oxygen, the explosion site is generally seriously hypoxic within four minutes, which has a suffocating effect on humans and animals.
At present, the cloud burst bomb is still in the final stage of testing, and the Syrian Weapons Research Institute has produced a total of 16 bombs, and three of them were used on the devils in the Kolkata military port tonight. The cloud burst bomb was still put into practical use for the first time, and it was perfect from the point of view of the effect, and the Anjia Army Air Force easily took over the military port, captured a large number of ships, and laid a solid foundation for the next operation at half past five in the morning. Lieutenant General Shojiro Iida, commander of the 15th Army under command of the East Indies, commanded by General Shozo Kawabe, who had temporarily replaced the commander of the 15th Army in the East India Campaign, who had gone to Ceylon to negotiate with the navy on the Burma-India war, was restless at the sound of dense explosions coming from inside and outside the city. Since midnight the day before yesterday, the radio connection with the outside of Kolkata City has been cut off, and until now, Iida Shojiro has not been able to see what the situation of the battle is on the front line, and after being bombed by the Anjia Army Air Force in the early morning, even the city has been interrupted, and the heralds and search teams have not returned, which makes Iida Shojiro's heart tremble. Until now, Iida Shojiro had not yet lost contact with the outside world before what had happened in the city, and the continuous bombing of the Anjia Air Force and the three explosions from the military port area were like thunderbolts in the clear sky, which made him feel anxious.
Shojiro Iida knew very well in his heart that although he was temporarily taking the place of Kawabe Shozo to command the operation, in fact he was now overstretched with the strength at hand, and not only were all the four divisions of the 15 th Army transferred to the front line to participate in the battle, but in order to consolidate the war on the front line, even the three independent brigades that were originally stationed in Calcutta were now only one left. The 10,000-strong independent infantry brigade is scattered across this land covering an area of more than 300 square kilometers, and the average strength is pitifully small. "No, I have to go to the port, not only are there two Marine Brigades deployed there, which are a powerful help for the defense of the city of Calcutta, but the ships of the Navy are also effective tools to support the army's attack and retreat," Iida Shojiro said to himself, and immediately ordered his attendants to prepare their vehicles. Soon, a military vehicle full of ghost soldiers protected Shojiro Iida's car, drove out of New Fort William, and passed away towards the military port to the west. At the entrance of the racecourse, the convoy was stopped by the naval gendarmes on duty, and the devil soldiers on the military vehicles jumped down one after another, glaring at the naval gendarmes, and Iida Shojiro, who was anxious, also pushed the car door, strode to the barricade, and angrily scolded Iida I am Iida, who allowed you to set up a card inspection here? "The leading naval gendarme Nakasa saw Iida Shojiro's lieutenant general uniform, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly saluted, saying I'm sorry, the military port was attacked by unknown agents, so Commander Takagi ordered us to set up a card here to strictly investigate" "That's it" Iida Shojiro's heart was relieved, and his heart said that the military port was fine, and raised his hand and said I am Lieutenant General Iida Shojiro, commander of the 15th Army of the Army, I have an urgent matter to go to the military port, please let it go immediately" "Hi Yi" Military Police Nakasa hurriedly bowed, When he straightened up, he had already pulled out the southern pistol on his waist, and together with the soldier with the crooked handle machine gun behind him, he beat the ghost soldier and his entourage behind Shojiro Iida into a honeycomb. Nakazo clarified my identity I am Ren Ying, the captain of the second squadron of the Blue Fox Special Brigade of the Anjia Army Air Force, we have something to ask General Iida to help" Iida Shojiro's face was red and white, and then he stubbornly said Emperor ** person, never greedy for life and afraid of death, don't want to use me" "Bang-" Before he finished speaking, Ren Ying had already knocked him unconscious, and then a group of officers and soldiers of the special brigade disguised as Japanese soldiers climbed into the military vehicles one after another, and soon drove more than ten military vehicles from the direction of the military port, Ren Ying nodded with satisfaction, and then took Iida Shojiro, I got into the car, then turned around and drove towards the Sialda military station north of the city.
Sialda Military Station, located next to the railway station of the same name, was a military stronghold of the Japanese army in Kolkata, with a large number of bullets and shells stored next to the metro train station and in a space of almost 50,000 square meters below the station square. Most of the munitions supplied to the area around Kolkata are stored here, including ammunition for many coastal defence forces and the navy. There were many shore defense guns along the coast of the Bay of Bengal, and these huge cannons captured from the British needed matching shells, and at the same time, those captured Japanese ships also needed supplies. In order to save the manufacture, it is necessary to seize the ammunition depot of the devil in its entirety. The guards and warehouse soldiers of the Sialda military station first raised their vigilance when they saw the huge convoy coming, and the young man who was waiting to open the road said that it was Iida Shojiro who had come to inspect it, and then when he saw the documents that had been forwarded, he was extremely excited, and immediately relaxed his vigilance and let the convoy enter the military station. The unconscious Shojiro Iida leaned back in the back seat as if he was pretending to sleep.
The garrison and warehouse soldiers of nearly 1,000 devils quickly assembled and stood in line in the open field, looking forward to the speech of the Supreme Commander of Calcutta. Ren Ying walked down from the passenger seat, and the air force of the garrison captain Otaro Inomoto Michiji who greeted him with a smile was very rampant, in order to confirm the safety of the ammunition, Commander Iida wanted to go down to the warehouse first to see In addition, your vigilance is too poor, the commander asked you to reflect on it, and wait for him to come up and check after the inspection" "Hi" Inomoto Taro was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Iida Shojiro on the back seat of the car, and after confirming that it was correct, he hurriedly bowed and left. Soon, the gate of the underground passage opened, and the gate closed after the convoy drove directly into the underground warehouse. And in the open space outside, the garrison of nearly 1,000 people did not dare to disband, and could only stand there waiting for "introspection".
At this moment, a strange roar was heard, and then five strike planes flew low and dropped a large number of aerial bombs on the clearing, while a dense rain of bullets fell on these fools who were waiting to die. The Japanese army was attacked by air raids, scattered in horror, but where could they escape, sixteen helicopters surrounded from all sides, the "Vulcan cannon" desperately turned the barrel, and at the same time the rocket nest under the short wings, opened fire violently, dense rockets like a storm, fell into the scattered and fleeing devils, ruthlessly slaughtering all lives, one by one devil soldiers are like evil ghosts tormented in purgatory, churning in the sea of fire to destroy the town of Raipur, located in the lower reaches of the Hooghly River, twenty kilometers southwest of the city of Kolkata, It is an important barrier to protect the middle and upper reaches of the Hooghly River and the Kolkata naval base. In the northwest of the town, the Po*mu Mountain, at an altitude of more than 90 meters, is located at the bend of the Hooghly River from west to south, and its geographical location is extremely important, where the British and later the Japanese army built more than 40 fortresses and forts as the most important line of defense to hold Kolkata. Hideo Torikai is the commander of the Ha*Kiyama Highlands, with a garrison of 2,000 men. Hideo Torikai was born in Osaka, because of the strong commercial atmosphere there, he is not willing to go to the battlefield to charge, let alone "see you at the Yasukuni Shrine", he just wants to live in peace and stability, if he can do a little business in the army, it will be more comfortable In fact, the officers and soldiers of the naval coastal defense force of this garrison are almost all from the city of Osaka, and the soldiers are basically from the merchants, who are calculating, and they are not willing to work in vain. The officers and men of the garrison showed their commercial talent in full display, and they frequently sent ships to intercept the ships coming and going on the river, and collected the tax on the ding, and later the business became so big that they even directly bought boats, went to the middle and upper reaches of the Hooghly River and even went to the Ganges River to buy goods, and then pulled them to Kolkata and the Bay of Bengal to sell them, making a lot of money.
At dawn, when the huge group of planes flew towards the top of Ha*ki Mountain, Hideo Torikai Nakatsu Sasho slept in his headquarters. The overwhelming B3 medium-range bombers and B4 long-range bombers threw a large number of high-explosive bombs, armor-piercing bombs and napalm bombs on the high ground, and Hideo Torikai was shocked by the huge power of the explosion, and struggled to come to the lookout of the headquarters in the middle of the mountain, only to see that the solid fortress made of reinforced concrete as far as the eye could see was shattered like glass, and the huge explosion, one after another, where the napalm was attached, the fire was raging, and the ground was like flowing magma, drowning everything in the sea of fire. Just when Hideo Torikai was stunned, countless white parachutes fluttered and fell around Mt. Bo*, like flying snowflakes, beautiful and brilliant. In the middle of these parachutes are some giant parachutes, and under the umbrellas hang huge black ones. "Enemy attack" Hideo Torikai's throat tightened, and he shouted with all his might, but he had just suffered a blow of such a scale, where could he afford to gather troops? At this time, the first wave of paratroopers of the Anjia Army had landed one after another. Major General Ling Xing, commander of the 1st Airborne Division, quickly commanded the assembled troops. The two regiments of paratroopers will be deployed on Po*mu Mountain, where Ling Xing will establish the headquarters of the former enemy of the Airborne Forces and coordinate military operations against Kolkata and the surrounding areas. In order to strike at the same time as the attack on the Po*Mushan, the city of Kolkata in the northeast was also attacked by the Anjia army air force and paratroopers, and there must be a question of mutual cooperation. As early as the night before yesterday, the airship radar had already carried out radio interference in the 100-kilometer area around Calcutta, and the Japanese army's radio communication system had been completely paralyzed. Therefore, the Japanese army, which had been attacked continuously, was already in danger at the southwest gateway. The well-trained paratroopers quickly sorted out their equipment and quickly assembled in squads and platoons, and the 32 Type I airborne tanks that were airdropped were all intact except for three, and the 36 105mm mountain howitzers were quickly assembled.
"Settle down the army, advance" Ling Xing was very satisfied with the performance of the troops, and when he saw that the brothers had already assembled, he immediately gave the order to attack. Thirty-six 105mm mountain howitzers furiously vented bombs on the positions of Bo*Mushan, and then the tanks began to advance, and in the rumbling sound of engines, they advanced to the Japanese positions with an unstoppable momentum, and the paratroopers followed closely behind the tanks, and the mortars and rocket launchers quickly made up for the gap between the mountain grenades and tank fire, giving the Japanese the most ferocious blow. The Japanese army gathered less than 1,000 people, hiding in the anti-artillery hole and waiting for the artillery fire to extend, just stopped the cannonball, and quickly rushed to the front-line position, but, in front of them, a group of soldiers of the Anjia Army dressed in colorful clothes, even their faces were smeared black like ghosts, and they had already rushed into the trench The devil was stunned all of a sudden, and subconsciously clenched the 38 cover in his hand, ready to carry out a white-knuckle battle. Especially when I saw that the weapon in the opponent's hand was short and small, and there was no bayonet installed at all, I was even more relieved, but everything that followed, so that the devil was called invincible in close combat - after a short pause, there was a short and fierce gunfire and flying bullets, the paratrooper unit was equipped with a Type II automatic rifle, using 5.8mm bullets, with an effective firing distance of 300 meters, and the lethality was huge. After more than an hour of fighting, Bo Mushan had all fallen into the hands of the 1st and 2nd regiments of the 1st Airborne Division. Ling Xing looked at his watch and immediately instructed to strengthen the position to prevent a possible counterattack by the Japanese navy and army.
