…… You will soon know about the terrible, endless war waged by those vulgar people against geniuses.

If you concentrate your superior forces against these gnomes, your best friends will shout that you want to swallow everything, that you are intent on tyrannizing and suppressing others. In short, your good will become bad, your flaws will become sin, and your virtues will become sin. ”

Su Tong's Memoirs, Volume VII, Chapter 20.

The residual heat of the sunset like a ball of fire slowly disappeared on the sea, and among the more than 100 warships gathered at this time in Sansha Bay, there was a particularly tall battleship, which was different from the surrounding warships with its huge gun barrel and towering trickery, which was the "Zhenyuan" super battleship of Bai Chongxi, the commander-in-chief of the attack on Taiwan. It is also interesting to say that after so many years of development and a limited number of exchanges with the Japanese navy, the Chinese navy has a unified understanding, and almost everyone believes that from now on the navy will be the world of aircraft carriers, and the original battleships of sea hegemony can only be relegated to the second position, but Bai Chongxi, who was born in the army, is very fond of giant ships and cannons, and can even be said to be in love, in his words, "Anyway, Lao Tzu was born in the army, and the army only believes in what he sees with his own eyes." Therefore, Bai Chongxi rejected the suggestion of Zheng Xin, commander of the South China Sea Fleet, that he set up his headquarters on the "Han Signal" aircraft carrier, and insisted on taking the "Zhenyuan" battleship as his headquarters.

Bai Chongxi slowly walked to the end of the conference room and stood at one end of the long conference table, following the ups and downs of the Huan Sea and the joy of Rong Ma after decades, but at this time, his face still had a trace of nervousness and excitement, and a trace of abnormal flushing flashed on his face. The sharp eyes quickly swept a glance at the people below, and at this time, the generals on the shoulders of the dozens of officers wearing army and navy uniforms sitting neatly in front of him shone in the light, and the quiet atmosphere in the conference room was frozen as if it could be overwhelming.

Bai Chongxi retracted his gaze, and his voice seemed to be light but heavy, "Today, please allow me to call you brothers, because as a member of the descendants of Yan and Huang, we are going to jointly launch a battle to recover Nose Bay. Forty-eight years ago, we were defeated in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, and we lost Taiwan, so it can be said that as a member of the descendants of Yan and Huang, we are ashamed of our ancestors, and we have lost the land left to us by our ancestors! The generals stared at their commander-in-chief without blinking, letting the louder and louder voices float through the conference room, and the unwillingness and anger contained in them could be heard by anyone.

"Today, we are going to reclaim our lost land and recover our blood debt from the Japanese invaders, brothers, do you have faith?" "Whoa!" Dozens of generals stood up in unison and shouted: "If you don't recover the lost territory, you vow not to withdraw your troops!" "Good!" A hint of fierceness flashed in Bai Chongxi's eyes, and he ordered: "Now I order to march to Taiwan!" "After the meeting, when the commanders returned to their warships in the transport boats, the sun had sunk into the horizon, the warships, merchant ships and freighters in Sansha Bay had completed their preparations for departure, and the boilers of the ships had completed pressurization and were ready to depart.

The order to set off was issued, starting with 16 large "Zhoushan" class landing craft with a load capacity of up to 6,200 tons, 57 "Wasp" class landing craft of more than 500 tons, and nearly 200 small landing craft of more than 100 tons. Their mission was to send nearly 40,000 men from the 1st and 2nd Marine Divisions of the 1st Attack Bō to the beachhead.

This time the stage is planned... It was the largest amphibious landing operation in the history of the solid defense force, involving more than 200,000 army units, more than 300 warships, and more than 1,000 aircraft. More than 300 coordination staff officers were dispatched from the army, navy, and air force forces responsible for coordinating the coordination of the three services, and thousands of radio stations of various kinds were used for the campaign, and countless electronic signals were transmitted from the night.

"If our negligence causes unnecessary heavy casualties among soldiers, then we are sinners of the country." These are the words of Bai Chongxi, the commander-in-chief of this campaign, and they are also Su Tong's request. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the campaign to recover Taiwan, although the South China Sea Fleet carried out the campaign this time, Su Tong still ordered the East China Sea Fleet to gather on Jeju Island to exert pressure on Japan, and the Pacific Fleet continued to be on strict alert in Sakhalin Island and Hokkaido. Most of the troops along the entire coast of China have been mobilized.

With a loud whistle, a heavy cruiser led by it slowly made a circle and began to slowly move eastward, followed by countless landing craft, destroyers, and frigates. Countless soldiers sat quietly in the cabin, quietly wiping the weapons in their hands and listening to the commander tirelessly explain the location and precautions of the landing. Although it was not the first time they had heard from the Commander, none of them showed impatience, and they all knew that what the Commander said would probably save their lives in the near future.

Behind this huge fleet were the vast freighters and merchant ships, who were tasked with transporting supplies for the landing to ensure that the Wehrmacht always had enough ammunition to suppress the Japanese.

Although there are dozens of airports along the coast of Fujian Province that have implemented light control, more than 300 can be faintly seen...... 17 heavy bombers and more than two hundred Stuka dive bombers and more than seven hundred ...... The dark green warhawks have slowly lined up and are waiting on the runway of the airport, all the pilots are waiting on both sides of the runway, they are waiting for the command command's orders, and the faces of these young pilots all show a trace of determination.

"My father, my lordship, has seen that the Japanese people have occupied my treasure island for 48 years, which is a great shame for my Chinese nation. Taiwan's five million fathers and elders hope that our army will be like a long-term drought, and all people with lofty ideals will look up to the sky and sigh. Now that the country has issued an order to recover Taiwan, as a member of the National Defense Force, it is really incumbent on the child to recover the country, and he has stepped forward to bravely kill the enemy.

The battle was very dangerous, and the child was also prepared to be shrouded in horse leather, and if the father received this letter from the child, it means that the child had sacrificed his life for the country. The child died for the country is to die without regrets, the only regret is that he failed to repay his parents' kindness, but since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, I hope that the father can forgive the child for the crime of unfilial piety......" put away the micro flashlight in his hand, Mu Qingfeng put away the letter paper in his hand, carefully folded it and put it into the envelope, and put the envelope and an insurance sheet into his own package. If he dies in battle, the package will be sent back to his home by the Invalides people, and although the money in the insurance policy cannot make his parents rich, it is enough to ensure that the two old men who are already in their last years can spend the rest of their lives in peace.

"Qingfeng, have you filled out your parcel form, if you fill it out, you will bring it here, and the people from the logistics department will come to collect the package." At this time, the voice of captain Zhao Kai sounded not far away.

"Hey, here we go!" Mu Qingfeng responded and hurriedly ran over with the package at 4:43 in the morning, the sky was still dark, and suddenly the airport was brightly lit, and a bleak siren began to ripple on the airport, the originally silent airport was like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed, and it became restless almost instantly, and countless pilots rushed to their landlines from the runway, and soon the propellers of several B-17 heavy bombers began to spin, and the engines began to roar.

At the end of the runway, several muffled gunshots rang out, and three green flares rushed into the sky and slashed in the sky. After passing an arc, it slowly fell, and with the launch of the signal flare, the B-17 bomber led by it began to slowly glide on the runway, its speed became faster and faster, and soon raised its head and rushed into the sky. On the runway near it, light swallows also jumped into the night sky, and at an altitude of three thousand meters, they and the bombers that took off at the same time began to form a formation, and their only goal was to go east, east and east!

In front of them, another huge flying formation has long been flying over the Taiwan Strait, a flight formation consisting of more than 500 "giant" large transport planes, gliders, and more than 200 fighters. Their task was to drop two airborne divisions onto Taiwanese soil.

The military commander of the airborne troops, which has been expanded into the Airborne Army, is still Lieutenant General Zhang Lingfu, and this general, who often shouts that "paratroopers are born to be surrounded," also sat in the cabin of one of the transport planes, looking at the dark sky and the solemn and excited expressions of the soldiers around him, Zhang Lingfu was not without a look of pride in his heart.

"Today, we will become the first batch of formed troops to set foot on Taiwan soil in the 48 years since the fall of Taiwan."

After three years of intense ancestral training and expansion, the airborne troops at this time had developed into a fist force with 45,000 troops and light assault forces, and Su Tong and the Ministry of Defense spared no effort to support the airborne troops. The Airborne Forces not only have the right to be given priority in equipping with new equipment, but the amount and rigor of the annual training is also notoriously high among all units of the Army, and it has thus become a trump card in the hands of the Ministry of National Defense and Su Tong.

Just as Zhang Lingfu was pondering, the red light at the hatch began to flash, and there was a rapid "toot" sound, and the light was the order, and all the soldiers, including Zhang Lingfu, stood up and began to carry out the final landing inspection.

At this time, Zhang Lingfu was standing in front of a soldier, and the two checked each other's umbrellas and equipment, until both sides gave each other a thumbs up, and then turned to the direction of the hatch in unison, and soon the red light of the hatch turned into a yellow light, and with the sound of the yellow light, the non-commissioned officer standing at the hatch also opened the hatch, and a majestic wind with a fishy smell blew into the cabin, which made people feel comfortable for a while.

Zhang Lingfu quickly walked to the door of the cabin, according to the old rules of the airborne troops, the first person to parachute must be the officer with the highest rank, Zhang Lingfu, as the head of the airborne troops, naturally has to set an example.

The sergeant reached out for Zhang Lingfu's main and backup umbrellas, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up. This is the last pre-jump inspection, and this simple mō has already inspected 14 parts related to Zhang Lingfu's safety. The soldiers in the cabin all gave Zhang Lingfu a thumbs up.

"Di, Di" As the yellow light flashed, the soldiers got up at the same time, hunched their waists on the stool, tucked down their seats, and put on a posture of leaving the plane. The steel helmet pressed against the comrades in front of him and made a posture of being ready to go. When the green light came on again, the sergeant in front of the hatch waved his right hand outward, and Zhang Lingfu had already jumped out of the hatch and disappeared suddenly......

In the early morning of March 21, the weather was a little cold, the gray méngméng clouds hung in the air under low pressure, and the waves crashed against the shore to make a "bang" sound, everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.

Second Lieutenant Hiroo Kumamoto poked his head out of a pillbox on the shore and looked around suspiciously, but there was no problem, but Hiroo Kumamoto always felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen.

Gradually, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in the sky, and the clouds slowly showed a hint of white belly, and the visibility of the same enclosure could already see the distance of about 100 meters around. At this time, there was a roar in the sky, accompanied by a few small black dots in the sky, they slowly flew over the beach, this is the B mouth heavy bomber, at this time it has dropped from a height of 3,000 meters to 800 meters, which is enough for them to complete the accurate bombing.

Hiroo Kumamoto and his Taiwanese soldiers were stunned by the sudden appearance of dense dark clouds in the sky, as if they had seen the bomber doors open and the bombs shining with cold light falling out of the cabin.

Soon there was a shrill whistling sound in the air from the bombs as they were dropped, and the vicinity of the beachhead was immediately plunged into a sea of fire, and the newly built fortifications in front of Hiroo Ijimoto were immediately blown into ruins, and many soldiers who had just woken up were blown up into the sky by the sudden bombs.

When Hiroo Kumamoto saw the bunkers and fortifications around him thrown into the sky like children's toys under the bombshells of airplanes, and the locust-like landing craft in front of him, he knew that his worst fears had finally come. He crawled to the phone, grabbed the microphone and shouted with all his might: "Moxi Moxi, I am the guard of Wuliqiao."

Captain Hiroo Kumamoto We were attacked by the Shina, and we repeated that we were attacked by the Shina. Request artillery support, request artillery support to shell the intended target, and the landing craft of the Chinese people will soon come up. …，

The Taiwanese brigade was responsible for the defense line from Wuli Bridge to Hongguang Town, and only a contingent of less than 8,000 troops was stationed on the shore of more than 50 kilometers, and the strength of the troops was really dwarfed. However, the 37th Artillery Wing, which was only 20 kilometers away from Wuliqiao in Taoyuan, hid its artillery position in a wood, and at this time, a large group of "dreadnought" dive bombers appeared over Wuliqiao Beach, and the navy's carrier-based planes continued to accurately drop bombs on the beachhead of Japan, and countless steel fragments reaped the lives of the officers and men of the Wuliqiao Garrison Brigade.

The four mound-like fortifications on the northwest side of Hongguang Town lifted their camouflage, and the barrels of the only six seven-five-millimeter mountain guns of the 37th Artillery Wing shimmered with a bronze cold light in the morning light. Tong! With a loud bang, the cannon body shook violently, the recoiled hot shell jumped out of the gun chamber with the pull of the bolt, and the sharp shells pierced the air and made a piercing roar, drawing a graceful arc in the air and smashing towards the landing craft that marked the sea area.

"Boom, boom, boom......" An instantaneous explosion sounded three or four kilometers on the beach, where dense landing craft were moving. To be honest, the Japanese artillery fire is very sparse, because the formation of the landing craft is very dense, there are still a few unlucky small landing craft were hit by shells, the bombs that exploded in the landing craft brought the power of the seven or five caliber shells to the extreme, in the explosion sound, the entire landing craft hundreds of marines were instantly torn apart by shrapnel flying everywhere and strong explosions, soft **, splashed with a cloud of blood mist.

"Hurry up and measure the Japanese artillery positions and suppress them quickly with naval guns!" On the sea surface seven or eight kilometers behind the landing craft, the observers on the battleship "Zhenyuan" who were standing on the trick saw a few shells falling from time to time on the sea where the landing craft was advancing, and quickly picked up a communicator to report the situation to the command headquarters.

"Old nest, old nest, I am Eagle Eye, I found the Japanese artillery position, the azimuth is 031, the distance is 9683, and the naval guns fire three times."

"The nest understands that the naval guns are ready immediately, and you are always watching the bullet points."

Less than a minute after the words spoken in the communicator, the originally low-hanging main gun began to slowly raise its muzzle, and the muzzle of the gun was still shaking slightly from side to side, and three minutes later, with several earth-shattering loud noises, the entire battleship was violently shaken, and the cannonballs flew out of the barrel and fell into the distance at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

Dozens of seconds later, three loud thunderous noises sounded in the distance, and a burst of smoke and dust soared into the sky, and the huge smoke obscured the observer's vision, and it was not until five minutes later that the dust and fog slowly dissipated. Spotted in the observer's telescope are three large craters.

Despite being an observer, such a thrilling sight was rarely seen, and the observer waited for a while to find that there were no more shells coming from the front, and then reported: "Old nest, the target has been eliminated, and now it is possible to transfer the target to cover the advance of the landing force." ”

"Understood, continue to observe, and report the situation at any time." As the ship's guns began firing, most of the fortifications and pillboxes on the beach were destroyed, and by the time the Marines landed on the beach in landing craft, the resistance was already sporadic and sporadic.

At this time, there were bursts of roaring sound in the sky, and one after another gliders appeared in front of people's eyes, and they ignored the battle situation below and rushed directly to the interior of Taiwan.
