Beachhead scramble

Amid the rumbling cannons, Chen Geng, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, was standing at the bow of the warship with a solemn face, waiting for the good news of the forward regiment. (）

One minute, two minutes... When the sound of gunfire faintly heard from the Japanese beachhead gradually disappeared. Chen Geng knew that the result he was anxiously waiting for was about to come out. While feeling nervous in his heart, a pair of eyes also turned to the location of the warship's command room.

As Chen Geng expected, the sound of gunfire had just stopped for less than a minute, and the excited and excited voice of the combat staff officer quickly covered up the 'plopping' sound of the waves crashing against the hull of the ship, and reached Chen Geng's ears.

"Commander, good news, good news for the forward regiment..."

"Under the cover of our navy's naval guns, the forward regiment successfully occupied the Japanese beachhead at the cost of only more than 600 men. Commander Li Shengtao of the Forward Regiment asked whether the troops would defend on the spot in accordance with the predetermined battle plan and wait for the second batch of landing troops to go ashore..."

"Li Shengtao, as expected, did not live up to the expectations of all of us....Order: The forward 611 regiment immediately held on the spot in accordance with the predetermined combat plan, blocked all possible counteroffences by the Japanese army, and swore to hold the beachhead to cover the landing of follow-up troops. At the same time, the landing craft brigade was ordered to return immediately, and in the shortest possible time, carry all the commanders and fighters of the 612th Regiment to land...."Chen Geng couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and at the same time excited, he ordered with a serious face.

"Yes, Commander..."

At the same time that Chen Geng got the good news, General Ando Jiri, who was located in the Taipei Governor's Palace, also learned the bad news from the Xiangshan position...

Looking at the farewell telegram from Muramatsu Goben Daisa in his hand, Ando Jili could hardly believe his eyes. It was only after receiving repeated affirmations from the chief of staff in front of him, Haruki Isayama, that he had to believe this fact.

"How can this be, how can the people of China know the information that the position of the Xiangshan defenders has been changed, how can this be...."Ando Jiri, who looked sluggish, clenched the telegram in his hand and muttered to himself.

"Your Excellency, this has come to this. There is no need to pursue it anymore. He thought that we should immediately launch a counteroffensive against the landing force of China, and that the people of China should never be allowed to gain a foothold on the beach. Otherwise, once let its main forces land. What awaits our Tenth Front Army of the Japanese Empire will be a devastating blow to the other side, please make a decision as soon as possible..."Isayama Haruki hurriedly persuaded while shocked.

He can become the commander-in-chief of the front army and the number one military and political leader in Taiwan. Admiral Ando Jili naturally has his own ability, and Isayama Haruki's voice just fell, as the governor, she. **!Book. With a face, it will be restored to its usual majesty.

After walking quickly to the map, he glanced at the latest deployment of the Japanese army on the map, and ordered with a murderous face.

"Chief of Staff, immediately issue the latest operational order to the Governor's Palace, Major General Shi Guang, commander of the 1st Taiwan Garrison Division stationed in Xiangshan: Garrison the 1st Division, immediately attack, launch a decisive attack on the Chinese troops occupying the beachhead, and be sure to drive all the Chinese troops who have landed in China into the sea. Tell Major General Time. I just want the result, not the process. If the task is not completed, military law will be engaged in ...."

"Hay... Your Excellency the Governor, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not..."Lieutenant General Haruki Isayama said with a hesitant expression.

"Say...."

According to Muramatsu Daisa's farewell telegram, the Chinese army actually used its own scarce naval guns for this landing. Although the total strength of the 1st Garrison Division is nearly 10,000, after all, it is a group of recruits who have just picked up their rifles. Fearing that even if they succeeded in recapturing the beachhead, they would not be able to stop the follow-up attack of the Chinese army...," Haruki Isayama began.

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, your reminder is very reasonable... Command the 24th Division, which had just set off. Immediately returned to the Xiangshan defense line, and with the assistance of the 1st Garrison Division, swore to hold the position to the death to block the attack of the Chinese army. Use the blood of Chinese soldiers to force them to retreat..."General Ando Jili ordered with a serious face. …,

On the coastal defense line of Xiangshan, the sound of gunfire on the beachhead gradually disappeared. But. In the former 24 th Division, which was less than two kilometers away from the beachhead, Major General Shi Guang, commander of the 1st Garrison Division, walked back and forth in the small headquarters like an ant on a hot pot.

"Baga, what do the reconnaissance troops do to eat. It's been so long, and the enemy situation hasn't been detected clearly? After another group of reconnaissance troops were dispatched, the anxious Major General Shi Guang couldn't help but curse at the staff officers in the headquarters.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the incompetence of the reconnaissance troops, because the East China Sea Fleet's naval guns are too powerful to fire in clusters.

In order to avoid the counterattack of the Japanese reinforcements in the process of the pioneer regiment rushing the beach, a round of saturation artillery fire was carried out on the Japanese beachhead. More than 30 naval guns aimed their black muzzles at the only road leading to the Japanese barracks on the front line. And at the first time, an insurmountable fire barrier was played between the two places.

The more than 100 scouts sent by Rear Admiral Shi Guang before and after, without exception, all fell under the shelling of the ship's guns. Major General Shi Guang, who was the commander-in-chief of the Xiangshan area, had just learned from the few words of telegrams and the rumbling of gunfire that the forward beachhead had been fiercely attacked by the Chinese army, and he had lost radio contact with Muramatsu Daisa's headquarters.

At this moment, it is clear without thinking about it that it is an infantry wing deployed on its own beachhead. In the face of the attack of the Chinese army, it lasted less than half an hour before the whole army was annihilated ....

Ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the anxious Major General Shi Guang did not wait for the information he wanted, but waited for a reprimand telegram from the Governor's Palace....

Although Major General Shi Guang is only the commander of a local garrison division, as the commander of a major general's division, she also has her own blood, her own honor and bushido spirit. In the face of the telegram's words 'Commander of the incompetent division......send himself to a court-martial...' with great irony, Major General Shi Guang's face turned red in an instant with shame and anger.

"Baga, the people of China, the cunning people of China. Tonight, I must drive you all into the sea and wash away the shame of my First Garrison Division..."Major General Shi Guang clenched his fists and swore secretly.

At the same time, there was almost no hesitation in the face of the group of combat staff officers in front of him. With a murderous face, he ordered: "Order, all combat and logistics units in the barracks will be assembled immediately, all will participate in the battle, and counterattack to recapture the beachhead." Artillery. Artillery positions are deployed on the spot. After receiving the order, at all costs, to carry out saturation artillery strikes on the Chinese troops occupying the beachhead, provide artillery support to the infantry, and destroy the enemy's will to fight...."

On the bloody Japanese beachhead, the remaining more than 1,000 commanders and fighters of the 601st Pioneer Regiment had not had time to take any rest. Under the command of the regiment commander Li Shengtao, he used daggers, bayonets, sapper shovels, etc., all available tools to reuse the bunkers that had been bombed into ruins one by one as a cover for his life in the next battle.

However, Major General Shi Guang, who has fallen into a state of madness. It is not destined to give Li Shengtao much time.

On a ruined beachhead, more than a thousand soldiers were still struggling to build fortifications, and the sentinels came out to investigate. Rushed over with a look of horror.

"Regiment commander, there is a situation....about 7,000 Japanese troops are rapidly pressing towards our regiment from three directions, and in five minutes at most, the enemy and our armies will exchange fire...."

"Dog's day little devil, it's finally here... Command the troops, get ready for battle. At the same time, tell the brethren that during the battle, pay attention to saving ammunition. In any case, we will hold out until the arrival of the second batch of landing troops...."Li Shengtao ordered with a serious face. The encirclement of the 601st Regiment had just been formed, and the Japanese artillery positions two kilometers away would begin to pour tons and tons of shells onto the fragile defensive positions of the 601st Regiment. Suddenly, there was a fierce battle for the beachhead. In the sound of Japanese artillery, it officially began...

"Bastard, what are you still doing in a daze, immediately call for help, ask for naval artillery support, destroy the enemy's artillery position...."Seeing the position that was instantly enveloped by Japanese artillery fire. While shocking the enemy's sharp artillery fire, Regiment Commander Li Shengtao commanded the communications staff officer in front of him.

In fact, without Li Shengtao's telegram, during the entire battle, the Taipei special operations team, which had been without roads, had already reported the coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions to the fleet headquarters as soon as the Japanese began shelling.

At a time when more than 1,000 commanders and fighters of the 601st Regiment were ravaged by Japanese artillery fire. The barrels of the three destroyers' black holes were already slowly lifted under the control of the gunners.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A series of deafening roars rang out on the deck, and the entire deck was shrouded in white smoke from the shelling in an instant. At the same time, naval artillery shells weighing tens of kilograms, or even hundreds of kilograms, under the impetus of gunpowder, erupted from the muzzles of the guns and flew towards their targets ....

More than 30 rounds of naval artillery shells were not at all what a single artillery wing of the Japanese army could withstand. Even though less than half of the shells hit the target in the first round of shooting, the power generated by the explosion of a dozen shells blew at least half of the guns on the position into the most primitive parts in the first place. As for the Japanese artillery personnel, they were either blown to the ground and their bones were destroyed, or they were blown to death by the violent air waves.

The completely unequal artillery battle, which lasted less than two minutes, ended in the total annihilation of the Japanese army.

As for the battle for the beachhead, even under the frantic command of Major General Ishimitsu, the commander of the Japanese division, it was already completely white-hot ...

After losing the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese troops that had just been formed by the recruits had to bite the bullet, and under the pressure of the supervising team behind them, they held up the snowy bayonets and took the most primitive pig assault attack, filling their own charging path with fresh lives...
