Chapter 110: Liu Hua's-for-tat is now right (ask for subscription!) )
The whole war of annihilation came quickly and ended quickly. Lieutenant General Yanagawa's telegram for help, although very timely, appeared on the desk of Governor General Ando Kichi. However, Lieutenant General Yanagawa, who was the commander of the division, did not hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, so he reported to the so-called Amaterasu in advance, and did not even send a farewell telegram before his death.
With the arrival of dawn, more than 20,000 people of the 16th Army, who had been fighting for several hours, hurriedly took away some of the weapons and ammunition that could still be used, and then returned to the Xiangshan beachhead. As for the corpses of the little devils, a messy and bloody battlefield, it was left to the little devil reinforcements.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, and when the entire battlefield once again fell into death-like tranquility, a series of deafening engine roars were heard from far and near, from the air. Immediately after, twelve faint black dots appeared in the sky in the direction of Taipei.
As soon as the twelve belated Japanese bombers arrived over the battlefield, the tragic situation on the ground was clearly displayed in front of them.
The corpses were messily pounced on the battlefield, densely packed, and people's scalps couldn't help but tingle when they saw it. The huge craters of cannonballs, like craters on the surface of the moon, make people can't help but be afraid when they think of the power of such shells.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, because tens of thousands of little devils died too miserably, and more than 3,000 little devils were directly blown up by shells. Therefore, the entire battlefield was almost filled with a strong smell of blood. Even if these imps were confident that the pilot was at an altitude of 100 meters above the ground, they could clearly smell a trace of blood, which made many people want to vomit on the spot.
"Captain, this....could it be that the 24th Division is already all...."Seeing the tragic scene in front of him. A little devil held back the gastric juice that had already rushed to his throat and pointed into the microphone at his lips. asked with an incredulous face....
"Yaga. Don't you have long eyes... Such a low-level question, you still have to ask me. I really didn't expect that the combat power of the people of China would be so strong, in just a few hours. More than 10,000 elite imperial troops....just, signal soldiers. Immediately report the situation here to the Governor's Mansion and request the next battle order...."The captain ordered helplessly while shocked.
"Hayi...."
The Japanese Governor's Office in Taipei. Got a report from aviation. General Ando Jili seemed to be several years old all of a sudden, and with messy steps, he hurried into the quiet war room like death....
Before he had time to catch his breath, General Ando's sharp eyes were aimed at the chief of staff, Haruki Isayama. N.ET/ * small * say net / no pop-up ad full text TXT download and then, eagerly with a hint of expectation. He asked the chief of staff, "Chief of Staff, the telegram I just sent to me from the communications staff officer is true. Our twenty-fourth division. I didn't hold out for even four hours, and the whole army was wiped out...."
"Hayi...."
"Baga, what about my 24th Division....Air Force, what does the Air Force eat, why don't you take off early and rush to the battlefield..."Faced with the sudden huge losses, Governor Ando Jiri, who was unable to adapt for a while, directly vented the anger in his heart to Lieutenant General Baichuan, the commander of the Eighth Flying Division.
In the face of the governor's anger, even Lieutenant General Baichuan, who was the commander of the division, could not bear the disaster and guilt brought to him by the annihilation of a division and regiment, so he quickly opened his mouth to defend himself.
"Please calm your anger, Your Excellency, because none of the combat aircraft in my division are equipped with Ye Hangyi. Therefore, our air reinforcement can only be postponed until dawn. However, the humble post had just ordered the bomber group to immediately rush to the landing beachhead of the Xiangshan Squadron and use the bombs to avenge the warriors of the 24th Regiment Commander of the Jade Shatter...."..., after a short period of contemplation, General Ando Jiri also knew that his anger had just been sent to the wrong target. He waved his hand and said with a solemn face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the total annihilation of the 24th Division means that there is no longer any military force formed by our army around the Chinese landing force. Therefore, we must immediately dispatch heavy troops to block this landing squadron on the beach and prevent it from penetrating inland. Otherwise, the Ten Front Army of the Japanese Empire, the entire island of Taiwan, will really not be saved...""Please give an order from Your Excellency the Governor...."In the face of life and death, a group of subordinates did not dare to shirk anything, and hurriedly spoke.
"Order: First, all coastal garrisons should immediately be put into first-class combat readiness to prevent the squadron from landing from other lines of defense. The entire coastal defense line is divided according to the current defensive area, and all the responsibility lies with each division and brigade, and if there is a problem with the defense line of that division, the division commander will shoot him on the spot....""Second, encircle and suppress the four infantry wings of the first division of the ** ** in Hsinchu County, immediately end the encirclement and suppression, and quickly assemble in the area of Xiangshan. The four infantry wings blocked all the communication arteries of the Chinese landing force moving south and eastward, and must block them in the area of Xiangshan, and must not march into the interior of Taiwan for a single step. This task is carried out by the chief of staff. ”
"Third, immediately dispatch reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the specific strength and equipment of the Chinese landing force. At the same time, all bombers should be dispatched to carry out devastating bombing of the Chinese landing beachhead, slowing down its landing as much as possible, and gaining enough time for the mobilization of our troops. ”
"I hope that you will immediately and unconditionally implement these three orders. Otherwise, not only me, but everyone standing here will become the battle exploits in the hands of the squadron..."General Ando Jili immediately regained his due appearance as a governor, and ordered with a dignified face.
"Hayi...."
Although the idea of the governor General Ando Jili was good, what he did not expect was that his every step of calculation, Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief of the attack on Taiwan, had already calculated in front of him and made a specific response plan.
The four infantry wings of the 1st Division of the encirclement and suppression have just shown signs of retreat. For half a month, the ** First Division, which has been shrinking its head and tail, has taken the initiative to launch a counteroffensive under the condition of weak troops....
In terms of Liu Hua's order, the ** First Division should take advantage of the favorable terrain in Hsinchu County, not afraid of casualties, and drag the four infantry wings of the Japanese army for more than three days.
As a result, the four infantry wings, plus the corresponding cooperative combat units, totaled 20,000 troops. In the face of the road that had been completely destroyed, in the face of the sudden desperate resistance on both sides of the road, in the face of the bridge that was directly blown up, in the face of the well water that had been drugged......the marching speed of the entire army, even in the face of the repeated urging of the governor General Ando Jiri, was as slow as a snail.
The four infantry wings were dragged to death in Hsinchu County, unable to advance or retreat. The governor-general, General Ando Jiri, could only pin his hopes on the Eighth Air Division.
The Eighth Air Division, as the only air force defending the island of Taiwan, has always been under the control of the military department because of its geographical location. It was not until the rise of the squadron and the complete defeat of the Japanese army on the mainland that the military department began to pay attention to this aviation unit.
However, what made the division commander Lieutenant General Baichuan feel depressed was that his troops had finally received the attention of the military department. However, in the face of the increasingly scarce production capacity at home, coupled with the Pacific Theater, which was like a gold-swallowing beast, it continued to swallow a large number of strategic materials of the empire. The entire Eighth Aviation Division, as the military department said, did not exchange for the army's latest combat aircraft, and was still equipped with fighters and bombers that did not know how many years behind ....
In addition, during the air raid on Keelung Port more than half a month ago, the combat planes of one of his own air wings were all destroyed in the chicken coop before they could take off to meet the enemy. At this moment, the entire Eighth Flying Division can take all the fighters combined, and there are only less than 80 at full capacity. ..., the first wave of bombing of the 8th Air Division, that is, the 12 bombers that reinforced the 24th Division, had just flown over the beachhead and were enveloped in the dense anti-aircraft fire network of the 16th Army.
An anti-aircraft battalion, three anti-aircraft batteries, plus several hundred light and heavy machine guns. Even if the twelve bombers of the little devils have great ability, they will not be able to escape such a dense network of firepower.
In less than ten minutes, only two wounded bombers remained over the beachhead. No matter what is embarrassing or not, he directly dragged the billowing smoke from the fuselage and fled in embarrassment in the direction where Taipei Airport is located.
The first wave of bombing ended in failure, and Lieutenant General Hyamokawa, who had high hopes from General Ando Kirishi, did not dare to slack off. A desperate decision was made immediately: the remaining sixty or so fighters of the Eighth Air Division, except for leaving a fighter group to protect the Governor's Palace. The remaining fighters, including a bomber wing, were all sorted, aiming directly at the beachhead of the 16th Army.
More than 20,000 commanders and fighters on the beachhead of the 16 th Xiangshan Army are orderly transporting all kinds of strategic materials piled up on the beach to the rear as capital for the troops to attack Taiwan's interior. At this moment, a series of crisp telegraph machine reports sounded in the command headquarters, and immediately after, the voice of the communications staff officer reached Chen Geng's ears.
"Commander, the Taipei Action Squad is in an emergency....The Japanese Eighth Air Division, a total of 52 bombers, and a fighter group composed of fighters, is rapidly rushing towards our beachhead....The Special Operations Squad reminds our department to prepare for air defense..."
Seeing the nervous combat staff officers, Chen Geng smiled and said directly: "Don't worry, comrades, the little devil has a plane, and we have it..."
"Immediately send a telegram to the East China Sea Fleet, ordering all carrier-based fighters of the 'Taiwan' aircraft carrier to take off immediately and prepare to meet the enemy. At the same time, ask for help from the command of the attack on Taiwan, and our carrier-based fighter group will try its best to drag down the Japanese attack group, hoping that the 1st Air Force Division will be able to rush to the battlefield in time and annihilate all the Japanese air forces in the Taiwan region in one fell swoop...."
Aircraft carrier-based fighters, although there are only twenty-four. However, these fighters, both in terms of performance and pilot combat experience, were several notches higher than the Japanese.
Throughout the course of the air battle, even if the Japanese had an absolute numerical superiority. However, half an hour passed, and the fighting in the air was still not over. At this moment, Wang Guangfu, the commander of the 1st Air Division, personally led a fighter regiment to join the battle, which was tantamount to crushing the last vestige of confidence of the Japanese army. In less than half an hour, the Chinese Air Force completely annihilated all the invading fighters at the cost of losing eight fighters and seriously damaging three fighters....
