"The fighters extended the bombing, and the reconnaissance planes paid attention to the situation of the enemy's incoming reinforcements. The divisions landed and occupied the beachhead as quickly as possible, and immediately after the troops were assembled, they attacked Lingao ......"

A series of orders were immediately issued, and countless Wehrmacht Marines roared to penetrate the fortifications of the Rì Army, which had been bombed into ruins.

Those remnants were the Rì Army trying to resist, but they were greeted by the icy slaughter of the Marines.

"Whoosh...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ...... "In Lingao Castle, Kurosawa's headquarters has begun to be attacked. Countless tiger roaring rockets rained down on his headquarters.

The garrison screamed as the explosion tore flesh apart and sprayed on the ground. The army in the improvised fortifications was constantly replenished, trying to withstand the guerrilla attack.

But unfortunately, this guerrilla force is only called a guerrilla force. In fact, their weapons and equipment are no worse than those of the regular army, and they are even much stronger.

Tiger Automatic Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Tiger Roar, Punisher...... and so on, and for a while, the rì army that fought couldn't raise its head. can only be beaten in a muffled voice.

"Zhongzuo, Qiongkou command is calling! Let's hold out for two hours, the supporting troops are on their way. Fighter planes have also begun to take off......"

"Red Okanoro!! Are they idiots?! We only have one brigade of troops, how can we support it for two hours?! Kurosawa directly crumpled the telegram into a ball and threw it directly to the side.

Kurosawa's brigade had more than 1,100 people, but the actual combat soldiers were only six or seven hundred. The rest are all artillery, logistics and personnel in the command.

Just now, the Wehrmacht bombarded indiscriminately, which directly wiped out more than 200 soldiers of the Rì Army and more than 500 puppet troops on the beach fortifications. A squadron that supported the past was scattered before it could reach the battlefield.

Even the puppet army that supported the past did not fall well. All of them were beaten and scattered.

The remaining troops, of less than 200 men in the city, were held back by the guerrillas and could not move. Since it was not a key garrison area, Makita Aki, the commander of the Qiongdao Garrison Division, thought that just one brigade of more than 1,000 people was enough to defend here.

But what he did not expect was that the Wehrmacht would actually land from here. This led to the fact that the rì army was caught off guard for a while! Lieutenant General Makita Aki urgently ordered all the fighters on Qiong Island to take off and sent a wing to support.

But he himself was not sure if the Kurosawa brigade would be able to hold Lingao......

"How many people have landed?!" Shen Honglie put down the binoculars and asked the adjutant beside him. The adjutant took out his notebook and glanced at it, and said, "Fifteen minutes ago, a total of more than 13,400 people have landed......

"Not enough, speed up!" Shen Honglie said in a deep voice: "There is not much time left for us by Rì, after the landing, we still need to go back and bring the troops of the South China Military Region over, and we must recover Qiongdao as soon as possible." You can't give Rì himself time to think, otherwise it will change later! ”

"Yes!!" The adjutant answered, and then went down to deliver the order. A large number of boats flocked to the beach. The put on warriors jumped into the water and headed for the shore.

The assembled troops quickly rushed towards Lingao Castle, and countless ordnance was also sent to the beach. Tiger roar, mortar, high shè machine gun...... and other ordnance were sent to the shore one after another.

"Report! Our unit discovered the fighter planes of the Rì Army, which were about 100 kilometers away from our position. At present, the exchange of fire with our fighters has begun......"

Hearing the news, Shen Honglie not only did not get nervous, but breathed a sigh of relief. It would be good if the fighters of the Rì Army were discovered, as long as they were discovered, they could not escape the attack of the sea eagles.

"Support the past! Not a single fighter is allowed to come to the position! Shen Honglie simply ordered: "The bombers are withdrawn, and all the fighters take off to stop them!" ”

"Yes!!"

At this time, it was more than 100 kilometers away from Lingao County. The aviation brigade under the Qiongdao Garrison Division of the Rì Army is fighting with the sea eagles of the Wehrmacht with difficulty.

The eagles were all drawn from the Air Force, and the fighters were relatively more advanced than the one type flown by the current Rì Army Air Force, so they were almost pressed and beaten.

"Tom tom tom...... Rumble!! "In the roar of the cannons, one after another RÌ fighters were tragically blown up and fell. Several warplanes tried to escape the encirclement, but the other Wehrmacht sea eagles had already surrounded them.

As a result of the loss of Southeast Asia, there was a severe shortage of steel and other materials. Under these circumstances, the research of the new fighter of the Rì Army came to a standstill.

A great deal of research has been proposed, and some new fighters have been developed. However, it could not be mass-produced. The latest Triple-3 fighters were only equipped for the navy, and the local troops.

And a force like Qiongdao, which is too far away, can only be equipped with a type that has been eliminated by the local troops.

Even with this kind of fighter, the base camp did not want to hand it over to the Qiongdao garrison division. If it weren't for Lieutenant General Makita's threat of disembowelment, Tojo really didn't want to hand over these fighters to the Qiongdao Garrison Division.

In his opinion, it might be better to hand it over to the garrisons of Guam and Iwo Jima. Nearly 10,000 Wehrmacht troops attacked the Rì Army Brigade, which had been crippled by less than 300 men.

There was no suspense about this result, and in less than twenty minutes, Kurosawa's headquarters was directly blown into a pile of ruins by artillery fire. When Kurosawa was found, half of his body had been blown up.

In the ruins, there were only less than thirty people moaning in pain, and Chen Zhaozao made a gesture without looking. The fighters of the guerrillas knew that nearly thirty people were taken prisoners, and became no prisoners.

"Hahaha...... Old Chen! Great work! "Ho Boon Moo, the former commander of the Singapore Division of the Defence Force, has now been transferred to the post of commander of the Marine Corps.

The rank was changed from the previous major general to lieutenant general, and of course his Marine Corps has not yet been formed. According to the plan of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht, the size of the Marine Corps should be at least 150,000 men.

It is equivalent to the combat force of a military region, and the area they are responsible for includes overseas garrisons and naval landing operations. Many of the Army's generals had some disagreement about this arrangement, but when they learned that it had been ordered by the Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht himself, the noise disappeared.

"We have a long coastline, a long sea frontier and overseas territories. These are areas that we have to control, and the Army is not very good at this kind of warfare, and we need a dedicated force to take care of this area......"

This was Tu Menghu's explanation to the generals of the army at that time, and the generals could only accept this explanation whether they wanted to or not. And in order to show his attention, He Wenwu's military rank was promoted to lieutenant general.

At the same time, the size of the entire Marine Corps, including the Marines who are waiting in the Northeast, has reached 100,000 people. This is just a small test, and the participating troops are all Jīng Rui of the Marine Corps.

Their experience will be carried to the northeast and then carried out landing operations on the Korean Peninsula in coordination with the army and navy.

"Wehrmacht soldiers, don't care about suffering!" Chen Zhaozao solemnly gave a military salute to He Wenwu and said, "The commander was in Singapore back then, did he ever say bitterly?!" ”

He Wenwu smiled and patted Chen Zhaozao's shoulder. This is a man, and he deserves to be valued by the General Staff.

"Lao Chen, when I go back to the headquarters this time, I plan to let you go to the National Defense Force University to study in the Senior Command Department. Get ready! He Wenwu said with a smile: "I have already asked the headquarters that you will go to the General Staff first after graduation." Then you have to come to work in my Marine Corps! ”

"Huh?!" Chen Zhaozao was completely dumbfounded, looking at He Wenwu stunned and didn't speak. Seeing him like this, He Wenwu's face was a little ugly.

"What?! Look down on my Marines?! ”

"It's not! I...... I originally planned to recover Qiongdao, so I went to recover Yizhou. Then I will go back to Singapore to continue doing business......" Chen Zhaozao said a little embarrassed: "I also opened a pharmacy with my brother and fellow villagers there......

Although he has been a soldier of the National Defense Forces for a long time, Chen Zhaozao's biggest wish is to take his children and live an ordinary life with his brother.

"Hahaha...... You! Wearing this military uniform, I don't know how many people are reluctant to take it off. You're thinking about being discharged from the army now?! He Wenwu laughed, patted Chen Zhaozao's shoulder and said, "What are you doing after retiring from the army?!" You are still young, learn more skills to protect your family and defend the country! ”

"Don't think that when this battle is over, we can rest easy. There are many people in this world who want us to die and want our country to be ruined. These people are our enemies! ”

He Wenwu said, and Shen Sè became serious: "If we don't want to be invaded again, we must have a strong national defense." And we are the last security barrier for the people of this country! With such a responsibility, why do you want to retire lightly?! ”

Chen Zhaozao was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said, "Then I'll think about ......"

He Wenwu didn't say anything, nodded with a smile and turned around and entered the makeshift headquarters. The headquarters was busy, the assembly of various departments, the distance of the current support troops of the Rì Army, and the situation of ships transporting the South China Military Region...... And so on all need to be brought together here.

He Wenwu began to arrange fortifications on the sand table he had built. On Qiong Island, there is one Rì Army Garrison Division and two Dúlì Mixed Brigades, totaling more than 40,000 people. They are stationed in Qiongkou, Yazhou and Qiongzhou. And the rest include Baocheng, Shacheng, Yingge...... and other areas have garrison brigades of dúlì.

If all of them are counted, the garrison of the entire Qiong Island has at least 60,000 people. And the number of puppet troops is even higher, with a rough estimate of at least 100,000 people.

The three areas of Qiongkou, Yazhou and Qiongzhou are the upper, middle and lower parts of Qiongdao respectively. There is no doubt that now they are rushing to Lingao from three directions at the fastest speed.

And Qiongkou, which is closest to Lingao, is undoubtedly the biggest threat at present.

"Report! Our reconnaissance team found a support unit of the Rì Army, about thirty kilometers away from our department! The 28th Regiment of the 3rd Marine Division has begun to dig fortifications in Longbo Village, ready to meet the enemy! ”

"Order the 28th Regiment to hold its position for at least an hour! Ordered Wan Rongxuan of the 3rd Division to take his 29th and 30th regiments to support! ”

He Wenwu gave a direct order without looking back, and he knew in his heart where each troop had arrived.

"Ordered the 1st Division Chen Taibu to build fortifications in Meitai Village, and sent reconnaissance troops to monitor the movements of the Qiongzhou side. Ordered Cai Junbu of the 2nd Division to immediately go to Yigu Village to build fortifications. Monitor the Rì army in the direction of Yazhou! ”

"None of these three positions can be lost, tell them. I need to hold on for at least one day! ”

"Commander...... The people of the first and second divisions haven't come down yet, so we'll let them go over now......" Chief of Staff Xue Wen hesitated and said to He Wenwu: "Isn't it inappropriate?!" ”

"Old Xue, it's no longer time to negotiate whether it's appropriate or not. We need to pay attention to the movement of the rì army at any point, which is related to the success or failure of our entire landing, and continue to go down without finishing it! When the troops below them are assembled, they will come back to the past! ”

Saying that, He Wenwu smiled and said: "Besides, the rì troops in Qiongzhou and Yazhou are only at the brigade level, even if they strengthen the brigade, there will not be too many combat troops they send." I believe that we can still hold it with one regiment! ”

Xue Wen nodded at this time and said, "Then let Chen Zhaozao organize manpower support, I'm worried that they are not familiar with the terrain." This is not good for reconnaissance and positional arrangement. ”

Xue Wen's words made He Wenwu deeply convinced, and immediately asked people to find Chen Zhaozao and then ordered him to organize guerrillas to assist. On the one hand, it is to act as a guide, and on the other hand, it is also to guide the reconnaissance units of the Wehrmacht to monitor some mountain paths.

Before long, the 28th Regiment of the 3rd Marine Division outside Longbo Village had already been engaged in fire with the Rì Army that had come from Qiongkou! After discovering the Wehrmacht troops, the anxious Rì army began to attack without saying a word.

"Chirp...... Rumble! Rumble!! The attacking ......, equipped with 155mm caliber heavy artillery that is difficult to see in the Rì Army divisions, was a wild bombardment of the Wehrmacht's positions.

Since this position was built on a temporary basis, it was incomplete in many respects. The soldiers of the 28th Regiment were lightly armed again, so they could only temporarily avoid the front under the artillery fire of the Rì Army.

"Nǎinǎi! If it weren't for the artillery under Lao Tzu who didn't keep up, Lao Tzu would have ended up with you now! Tang Junmao, the commander of the 28th Regiment, scolded in his headquarters, and Kan Hong, the regimental staff officer on the side, laughed.

"Captain! You're blowing too much, aren't you?! Our regiment only has six 75mm mountain guns, and this devil's mountain cannon is larger than our caliber, and it is also farther than our shè cheng! If you want to clean them up, you have to come up with the artillery of the division headquarters! ”

Tang Junmao smiled embarrassedly and said, "I said that our partners haven't been together for a day or two, can you die if you don't dismantle my platform?!" ”

"Ouch! Last time, which turtle calf came to my house and lied to my daughter-in-law that I asked him to get wine?! The dog rì's leng drank my 30-year-old bottle of Fenjiu in the pit! At the mention of this, Kan Hong was furious.

He didn't want to drink this old bottle of wine himself, and planned to save it for his son's marriage. As a result, I don't know where the news leaked out, and I called Tang Junmao, the old king's eight calves, to worry about it.

After the pit was gone, he drank all the wine in one breath. Kan Hong, who was angry and learned of the situation, blew his beard and stared helplessly.

"Hey...... It's not your fault?! If you don't hide it, can I do this?! We have been brothers in life and death for so many years, and our friendship is not worth a bottle of old wine?! ”

"It's the brother of life and death that Lao Tzu didn't ask you to duel, that is what Lao Tzu intends to leave for his son to marry! You're good dog, turn around and give me a mouthful! I'm demolishing your platform, and you still don't want to?! ”

The soldiers and staff officers in the command couldn't help but snicker as they listened to the two commanders bickering. For a moment, the tension on the battlefield was relaxed.

Tang Junmao glanced at Kan Hong, meaning that the old man cooperated well! Kan Hong rolled his eyes back, nonsense! Our level, is it covered?!

The 28th Regiment marched lightly and rushed here, in fact, except for a few tiger roars, a part of the punisher, and light machine guns, almost nothing with them.

The rì army, on the other hand, carried 155mm heavy artillery. To say that the fighters are not nervous is a lie. In this way, the two old partners showed their contempt for the rì army.

And the nervous mood of the fighters was also relieved.

"Kerala ......" When the shelling was over, the Rì Army began to attack the positions of the 28th Regiment with tanks. Tang Junmao raised the binoculars and glanced at it, and said disdainfully.

"How many years has this Iron Breaker been eight years?! It's best to stick it on the throttle and let it run off the cliff to the end. Who is lacking in heart and eyes and still drives it to the battlefield?! ”

Tang Junmao's words caused the staff officers and soldiers in the command headquarters to laugh, and the tanks that came up from this Rì Army were still the kind that could be pierced by the heavy machine guns of the Wehrmacht in the early years.

I really don't know what the Rì army thinks, is it useful for this kind of tank to attack?! In fact, they don't know the hardships of the Rì Army, since the Wehrmacht took Southeast Asia, their steel has always been in a state of failure.

In the past, you could buy some "scrap steel" from the Americans, but now you can't buy it. However, the iron lump of the tank is the most steel-intensive, so almost all the tank projects in the army have been discontinued.

Lieutenant General Makita Aki struggled desperately to get a batch of new tanks from the local troops. But what he got in his hands was such a batch of things that made him cry and laugh.

It is absolutely impossible for Hideki Tojo to give a new tank to death, because there are less than 100 new tanks on the mainland. At best, it is possible to provide this kind of honesty. Well, Hideki Tojo, who was forced to do so, also asked the factory to replace the engine and add some armor to them.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... ......"The Wehrmacht's heavy machine guns began to fire, but they hit the armor with a glimmer of fire.

"Yo~ The dwarves also know that they have been modified?!" Tang Junmao was not in a hurry at all, and said with a smile: "Sensei is using a heavy machine gun, let the soldiers use the sword style!" Break it and pull it down! (To be continued.) )
