"Can I swear or not..."

"Of course not..."

When he saw the landing craft rushing up to the beachhead by inertia, a general like a division commander on the landing ship was excitedly waving his arms, but after a while, he saw a shell fly in through the open hatch.

The soldiers inside, before they had time to run out of the landing craft, had already been sent to the Western Heaven Elysium by this quasi-very artillery shell...

Seeing this scene, the division commander naturally asked his adjutant, and the adjutant naturally replied.

Although the fate of the first landing craft that washed up on the beachhead was not very good, especially after the explosion and burning, the black smoke produced by the landing craft pulled up a black pillar on the beach, but the landing craft that followed continued to rush up towards the beachhead without hesitation.

The second...

The third...

The fourth...

The fifth...

The sixth...

Although the first few ships attracted more or less attention from the Japanese, as the number of landing craft washed up on the beachhead increased, the Japanese gradually began to be busy, and at this time the Wehrmacht on the beachhead began to establish a beachhead position on the beachhead.

On the other side, the officers and men on the landing craft also began to use the small-caliber weapons carried on the landing craft to counterattack the Japanese fortifications.

Of course, at the same time as the counterattack, these landing craft are gradually retreating ...

"I hope that group of navy who don't have long eyes can change their glasses. There's a bunker all over here!"

After disembarking from the landing craft and looking at the Wehrmacht troops pinned down on the beachhead, a sergeant with a new semi-automatic rifle waded through the water and cursed loudly.

Although at this time, the battlefield was full of gunfire. However, the sergeant's swearing seemed to resonate, and someone on the side soon chimed in.

"That's right, yesterday's aerial reconnaissance report said there should be nothing on this beach. Of course―――――― for the brainless Air Force, there really is nothing here..."

"Damn, what they've been bombing for three days is to make this an open field more suitable for blocking..."

"Don't trust the Navy's promises unless those guys walk on the beach."

"Yes, the effective shelling―――――― the Japanese devils are still alive and kicking on the beach."

"I used my life savings to bet that the pilots of the Navy reconnaissance planes were all short-sighted."

"Well done! They made the monkeys better hidden. ”

"If we say that the naval artillery is solved 80%, I just say if, in fact, we are faced with 80%."

Maybe it's really a bittersweet thing, anyway, while building the beachhead, the soldiers who have landed have not spared the navy and air force brothers behind them.

There's no way around it. Although they belong to the same Wehrmacht sequence, the relationship between the Army, Navy and Air Force is not very, uh, it should be said that it is not very harmonious...

Or rather, in fact, this is true of any country in the world.

Just like the United States in the future. Whether it's the Army, Navy or Air Force, the relationship between them is not very good. The Japanese army and navy are more like enemies with each other, and perhaps the relations between those hostile countries are worse than their relations with each other.

As for the German side, Togolin's relations, ahem, do not seem to be very good either.

But there's no way around it. After all, the contradiction among the military is a difficult problem of misunderstanding, and a large part of the root cause of this stems from the division of military spending every year.

Although the annual military expenditure of the Wehrmacht is not small, at least it will not be inferior to that of any country, and because of a considerable part of the hidden military spending―――――― for example, the development of the Lingbo-class aircraft carrier. The Fengxue-class amphibious assault ships and other ships are supported by hidden military spending to avoid the phenomenon of intelligence leakage, so China's military spending has always been at the top of the world. ..., however, military spending is like funding, which is always insufficient, so every year the army, navy, and air force are among each other. They all have to fight each other on the issue of military spending.

Fortunately, this is almost the case all over the world, so Yan Guang and the others don't need to worry about it...

――――――――――――――――――――

After noticing that the landing force was building a position on the beachhead, the Japanese troops on the beachhead also thought about driving the landing force on the beachhead into the sea.

It's a pity that it's just at this time. The bombardment unit again carried out bombing missions across the sea.

Under the bombardment of the air force, the Japanese troops in the fortifications could only dispel this idea.

As for the Japanese Aerospace Forces located in Hsinchu and other places?

At this moment, the Japanese have not yet woken up from the fiasco of their own aviation forces, and they are simply unable to do anything about the bombing of the Wehrmacht Air Force, not to mention that their losses in the fiasco just now are really too great, and the number of remaining planes is even less pitiful. At this time, even if they want to do something, it is too late in time...

Although it is too late for the Japanese. This does not mean that the same is true for the Wehrmacht.

Although under the suppression of the Japanese army, the Wehrmacht has been slowly building beachhead fortifications on the beachhead, but as time passes, the number of landing craft on the beachhead is also increasing, and gradually landing troops in units of 10,000 began to appear on the beachhead.

And after a preliminary rest on the beachhead, the landing force also began to prepare for the offensive.

The first offensive began three hours after the landing, and after the number of landing troops on the beachhead finally reached the number of three divisions, or nine infantry regiments―――――― it was not generally difficult to bring up the artillery units together, so the number of infantry had to be counted alone.

China's standard divisions are generally three infantry regiments plus two artillery regiments, so after deducting two artillery regiments, there are only three infantry regiments left. And the number of nine infantry regiments, exactly three infantry divisions ...

Although it was only nine infantry regiments, it was not very far from the distance between the beach and the Japanese fortifications due to the fact that these infantry regiments were equipped with large-caliber mortars, that is, 120mm mortars, plus a considerable number of 60mm mortars and 80mm mortars. Therefore, to a certain extent, the firepower of the landing force is not necessarily much worse than that of the Japanese army―――――― especially when the Japanese army on the beachhead has a considerable part of its firepower to take care of, and the landing craft and naval warships responsible for fire support are still coming towards the Penghu Islands...

After calling for a bombardment and requesting artillery support from the navy, the landing force launched an attack on the Japanese on Penghu Island.

Of course, soon the attack was repulsed.

However, this did not surprise Wang Yaowu, after all, if it was really so easy to take the Penghu Islands. It is impossible for the Japanese to build such a large territory as they do now.

Therefore, after the first attack was repulsed, after a short supplementary rest, a second attack was soon launched against the Japanese troops on Penghu Island.

Of course, it is necessary to contact the Air Force and Navy in advance, after all, without their support. It is not an easy task to capture Penghu Island.

And although the relationship between several branches of the armed forces was not very good, they did not dare to be ambiguous in major matters, so the air force also provided considerable support, and under the fierce anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese army, it bombed the Japanese positions many times.

In addition, after the bombing is over, it is necessary to circle around the Penghu Islands if the Japanese ships are found to support Penghu. Sink these ships as fast as possible to accelerate the offensive on Penghu.

――――――――――――――――――――..., the offensive on Penghu lasted for almost a week, and it was not until the end of almost a week that the landing force ended the operation on Penghu Island and completely occupied the entire Penghu Islands.

In the meantime. The Air Force also repeatedly discovered Japanese support for the Penghu Islands, and repeatedly sank ships that were doing so.

In the end, the Japanese could only take advantage of the darkness to send supplementary troops, ammunition and other materials to Penghu.

Wang Yaowu has no choice about this, after all, night is a good protective color for anyone, and the current national defense force does not have good night combat equipment. In fact, even in later generations, even the most advanced Americans will feel a little headache for night battles. Not to mention the current Wehrmacht―――――― although the current Wehrmacht already has a small number of elite troops equipped with night vision devices and other equipment.

In any case, in the end, Penghu fell into the hands of China, and although the Japanese struggled with it, they all proved to be useless in the end.

In fact, after the end of the air battle over the Taiwan Strait, after a brief shock. The first reaction of the Japanese was not to dare to carry it out, not believing that their fighters were so vulnerable in front of Chinese fighters.

For this, the Japanese also mobilized the rest. The fighters that survived the air battle once again challenged the Defense Air Force in the skies over the Taiwan Strait, but unfortunately, in addition to the latest Type 4, that is, the Hurricane fighter, other fighters such as the Type 3 "Feiyan" and the Zero Combat are not opponents of the ZD-20 ...

In the beginning, the Japanese also considered transferring the Combined Fleet back to help defend Taiwan...

However, after the air battle in the Taiwan Strait reached a result, the Japanese could only give up this idea with a pale face.

The reason is very simple, at present, Japan's strongest carrier-based aircraft is the Zero, if the Zero is not the opponent of the ZD-20, even if the combined fleet is transferred back, the final outcome will be quite miserable, after all, the naval battle is determined to some extent by the performance of the carrier-based aircraft―――――― of course, the aircraft carrier as a carrier is also very important, like the aircraft carrier of later generations, the nuclear power is obviously superior to the conventional power―――――― except for the French one, the French Charles de Gaulle is a nuclear submarine, So there are often problems, and a considerable part of the year is spent in the port for repairs...

In addition, if there is a catapult, it is better than a sliding jump, and there is no way to do this...

At present, the only one that can produce catapults is the United States, even the catapults of the French, in fact, they are bought with the Americans ...

And catapults are also divided into steam catapults and electromagnetic catapults, and the Americans have now advanced to electromagnetic catapults ...

And then there's the size of the hull, and so on and so forth...

Ahem, a little off topic...

――――――――――――――――――――

"Penghu has taken it, and then it will be easy to do..."

After stepping on Penghu on the landing craft, I first enjoyed the scenery of the Penghu Islands―――――― which should be said to be the scenery after being devastated.

After admiring the Penghu Islands, which had been almost flattened by artillery fire in the fierce fighting, Wang Yaowu and his party came to the temporary command post on the island.

The command post was set up very discreetly. After all, the Penghu Islands are next to Taiwan, and the Japanese air force also has a certain strength, so if they really sneak attack at any time, it will be a lot of fun.

You must know that the distance between the two places is still very fatal, and the Japanese really want to come. Even if Xiamen wanted support, it is estimated that the Japanese would have run away long ago.

Of course, now the landing force is building improvised air bases in several parts of the island, and when the bases are built, things will be easier. ..., "The Penghu Islands are the gateway to Taiwan. As long as Penghu can be taken, it is equivalent to opening the door to Taiwan..."

Saying this, Wang Yaowu looked at the map of Penghu in the command post.

"The next priority is to build Penghu into a base, an unsinkable aircraft carrier against Taiwan..."

"We understand that."

The generals in the command nodded.

"At the same time, while the troops are resting, they are also building airfields and other facilities on the island. Recently, the Japanese have been sending planes to attack and harass every night, and I believe that this has also been discovered..."

"The Japanese don't care about them for now, wait for a while, and naturally have their good life..."

At present, the offensive of the National Defense Forces against Taiwan has basically taken shape, so Wang Yaowu said with some disdain.

In fact, the current situation in Taiwan is very embarrassing. The Japanese still have a lot of affection for Taiwan, after all, Taiwan is also one of Japan's earliest colonies, and Japan has been operating in Taiwan for many years.

The real problem, however, is that, like North Korea, Taiwan is too close to China.

And to some extent. Taiwan is not as good as North Korea.

Although North Korea shares a border with China, the northern part of North Korea is mountainous and difficult to carry out military operations.

It is for this reason that it is also possible. Although North Korea shares a border with China, and has at least a million troops amassed on the border between North Korea and China, Yan Guang did not immediately launch an offensive against North Korea.

On the contrary, it is Taiwan...

Although Taiwan does not share a border with China, if you want to attack Taiwan, you first need to cross the Taiwan Strait, which is hundreds of kilometers wide, but it is the same. As long as we can control air and sea supremacy in the Taiwan Strait, it will be tantamount to separating Taiwan from Japan.

And today's China. It's just these two things in your hands.

After all, compared with Japan, China has an extremely large road-based air force, and the performance of fighter jets is far superior to Japan.

In addition, at sea, not only did a large number of small fleets of light cruisers harass Japan and Taiwan and other colonies, but in particular, the submarine fleet, which was connected with Southeast Asia and Australia, and transported various materials to the Japanese mainland, which played a great role in the Sakhalin conflict and eventually forced Japan to negotiate peace.

Although Japan, in view of the lessons of the past, has attached considerable importance to anti-submarine warfare in recent years, and has studied the relationship between quite perfect escort measures and a large amount of antisubmarine equipment for this purpose, this time the submarine force has not been able to break the engagement as it was during the Sakhalin conflict, which made the Japanese want to die.

But even so, it played just as well...

Most importantly, don't forget that although China and Taiwan are separated by the Taiwan Strait, which is hundreds of kilometers wide, Japan and China are only farther apart, and even the nearest Okinawa is quite far away from Taiwan...

It is precisely for this reason that Taiwan is like a chicken rib to the Japanese...

It is indeed a pity to abandon it, after all, the Japanese have been operating in Taiwan for many years and have a deep affection for Taiwan, so giving up Taiwan is not a very simple choice for the Japanese.

But Shou...

If you keep it, the Japanese may not be able to keep it...

After all, Taiwan is too far away from Japan, and this distance in the past did not matter, but now it is a very fatal thing...

It is precisely because of this sense of gain and loss that the Japanese have invested a lot of resources in Taiwan, but not all of them...

――――――――――――――――――――

After all, for Yan Guang and others, Taiwan is China's inherent territory, and it is ......a territory that was snatched away by the Japanese decades ago, and after the end of World War I, he did not ask the Japanese for Taiwan, just to seek greater benefits in the future, but this does not mean that Yan Guang will not claim this territory back.Chinese

And now, it is the best chance to take Taiwan back...

Therefore, after the capture of Penghu, the Kuomintang government transferred more supplies to Fuzhou and Xiamen, and at the same time transferred a considerable number of air forces to several air bases that had been repaired on the Penghu Islands.

And compared with the Kuomintang, the Japanese have less support for Taiwan...

However, this is also a helpless thing, because the Japanese already know very well that Taiwan is definitely a colony that will be lost under the offensive of the Kuomintang government...

Investing a lot of resources in such a colony, which was sure to be lost, was not worth it for Japan, which was strapped for resources. Of course, after all, Japan has been operating in Taiwan for many years, and there are some big chaebols with great interests in Taiwan, and these chaebols have great influence even in the Japanese government, and in addition, Taiwan's important position to Japan is far higher than that of other colonies seized in the center of the war.

So on the surface, the Hideki Tojo government still has a certain amount of support for Taiwan, but unfortunately, this is only on the surface...

And at this time, not only have hundreds of thousands of national defense troops from Yunnan begun to arrive at the Thai border, but even Wang Yaowu's 13th Army and Dai Anlan's 17th Army are already ready...
