The 14.5mm heavy machine gun was originally intended for attack fighters. But in actual combat, the Wehrmacht found that this machine gun was also particularly useful for attacking tanks, fortifications, etc.

So, this machine gun was also equipped with the Marine Corps. The heavy machine gun was not insignificant, but in order to gain an advantage in terms of firepower, the Marines had to carry it with them. Fortunately, in order to reduce the burden on the army, the research institute of the Wehrmacht specially simplified this machine gun.

Now the Marines carry the Ridge has been simplified into three parts: the gun carriage, the barrel and the ammunition box. Sure enough, now this heavy machine gun has played its worth.

After the Wehrmacht's heavy machine guns provoked a burst of sparks on the Ri armoured vehicles, the drivers of the Ri Army tanks began to charge with impunity in an attempt to break through the Wehrmacht positions in one fell swoop.......

It's a pity that this dull bombardment that sounded again sent their confidence directly to the bottom......

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble! Rumble!! The "boom......" 14.5mm caliber bullet easily tore the tank armor of the RI Army directly after tearing through the air.

The RI drivers in those tanks were immediately swept away by the bullets, and some of the bullets hit the ammunition rack in the tank, which immediately detonated the entire tank.

Seeing this, the charging RI soldiers quickly lay down to avoid being injured by the fragments of the tank that were flying from the explosion.

......Unfortunately, their wishful thinking was immediately disillusioned. The Wehrmacht fighters directly lowered the muzzle of the heavy machine gun and fired at the crowd of the Ri Army.

A 14.5mm bullet will be shattered by even a piece of flesh and bones that has been grazed from the edge. Those lying down on the RI army directly became a live target.

They were swept away by the Wehrmacht, and even if they had steel plates on their heads, they could not escape the fate of being swept to minced flesh and blood......

"Red deer! Remove! Quickly withdraw ......" The commander of the RI Army on the position quickly discovered the situation and roared as hard as he could. The RI army, who was lying on the ground in a daze, finally waited for the order to retreat and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They crawled backwards quickly, and no one dared to get up. Because a few soldiers of the RI Army who tried to stand up on their waists were directly torn to pieces of minced meat and internal organs all over the ground by this machine gun.

The 14.5mm bullet unceremoniously swirled and tore through their bodies, scattering the shattered entrails and blood all over the ground. There wasn't even time to scream, not even a complete corpse.

All that was left on the ground was broken corpses and sprayed with shattered internal organs. In the broken bones, you can still see the white bone marrow covered in dust and mud......

"These damn Wehrmacht, where did they get these weapons?! Are all the companies in the empire eating?! Why can't those idiots make weapons that will work for us?! ”

Lieutenant General Makita Aki, who was in Qiongkou, immediately cursed after receiving the order, and all eight chariots of the first wave of attack were lost on the position.

A squadron goes up, and a squadron comes down with less than a squadron. And the losses of the Wehrmacht are not clear, and the RI Army has not even rushed into the range of the attack.

It may have caused some damage to the Wehrmacht, but it was not a big loss compared to the losses of the Ri Army itself.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, now Wing Commander Arai is calling to ask for tactical guidance. You see...... "Although the adjutant didn't want to touch Makita's mold at this time, he knew that he had to speak at this time.

"Tell Arai that the position must be taken! We must also stop the Wehrmacht's attack on Lingao, once they gain a foothold in Lingao, then the whole of Qiongdao will be threatened! ”

"Order the Qiongzhou Hengshan Brigade and the Yazhou Changwei Brigade to speed up the march, and be sure to arrive outside Lingao City to launch an attack within today's day!" Makita slammed his fist on the desk and said, "Ask the base camp for tactical support, tell them!" If we don't get support and Qiong Island loses, then the base camp will have to take on the responsibility! ”

"Hail!!" The adjutant hurriedly answered, then turned around and hurried down to send a telegram.

By this time, the sky had gradually darkened. Groups of soldiers from the South China Military Region jumped off the shallows from the boats and quickly assembled on the beach.

Chen Zhaozao's guerrillas had mobilized a large number of local people and prepared a large number of hot meals and bonfires for the Wehrmacht. At the same time, the F-FDTL troops, who had come ashore and assembled, quickly set up makeshift tents in the designated camping area.

"Hahaha...... Xiao He, hard work! Laborious! What's going on now?! Lu Han laughed and walked into He Wenwu's headquarters, holding He

Wenwu's hand asked directly.

In front of Lu Han, Lao He can indeed only be Xiao He. Who told him that he was not older than others, and his qualifications were not thicker than others?! Call him Xiao He, and he has to agree happily.

"Uncle Yongheng, now we have set up positions in the three areas of Longbo Village, Meitai Village, and Yigu Village with the assistance of the guerrillas led by Chen Zhaozao. Among them, the support wing of the RI Army from Qiongkou has already exchanged fire with the 3rd Marine Division of our Marine Corps in Longbo Village, and at present, our division still has an absolute advantage......"

He Wenwu was not pretentious, and took the baton on the sand table and explained all the current situation of the enemy to Lu Han.

"Now the garrison brigade of the RI Army, which is supported by Yazhou and Qiongzhou, has been discovered by our reconnaissance detachment. They are now about three hours away from our two places, the United States, Taiwan, and Yigu......"

"And the troops they are supporting have a wing. At the same time, the entire RIBEN garrison brigade in all regions of Qiongdao began to enter combat readiness. The various divisions have begun to assemble and may launch an offensive against Lingao at any time......"

He Wenwu concisely introduced the current situation in Qiongdao to Lu Han, and I have to say that Riben has been operating in Qiongdao for a long time. Therefore, including the troop structure, fortification construction and puppet army troops, etc., are relatively much stronger than the previous inland areas.

After several years of operation, RIBEN has formed a certain inherent force in Qiongdao. If it weren't for the Wehrmacht's sudden choice of Lingao Point as the landing port, perhaps the war would not have gone so smoothly.

"How long will it take for our troops to land and assemble?!" Lu Han frowned and looked at the situation of the enemy and me on the sand table, it was not easy to deal with more than 30,000 marines to deal with more than 100,000 puppet troops.

Moreover, most of the RI troops are equipped with heavy weapons, while the Marine Corps has no professional transport fleet and there is no way to transport many heavy weapons.

If you are on the beach, the naval guns can still provide some support. And after penetrating deep into the interior of Qiongdao, the only support that the navy can give is carrier-based aircraft.

"According to the information provided by Chen Zhaozao, the RI army has set up a secret airfield in Linshui. However, since the location of this airport is difficult to touch, they do not know the specific geographical location and situation......"

He Wenwu frowned and said what he was most worried about: "Qiongdao is surrounded by mountains, and the construction of the airport is a huge problem. At the beginning of our landing, I considered building a temporary airfield for Air Force fighters to take off and land. On the one hand, transport troops, and on the other hand, provide support......"

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to be healthy!" Lu Han gritted his teeth and said, "Let Chen Zhaozao find a suitable position and ask the ground crew of the navy to inspect it." All of our landers are out and must build a makeshift airfield within three days! ”

"Yes!" He Wenwu gave a military salute and replied loudly. In fact, he also knew that the Wehrmacht now needed an airfield to accommodate the support of the Air Force.

But unfortunately, he has limited troops at his disposal. Three positions also need to be arranged. There is simply no surplus manpower to build the airport.

Lu Han, on the other hand, did not need to worry about this, as his South China Military Region had 12 divisions with a total of more than 150,000 troops. Now two divisions have arrived.

With the manpower, it was only necessary for Chen Zhaozao to find a suitable area, and these well-trained fighters would be able to build a makeshift airfield with sapper shovels and captured cement.

Soon, the ground crews on the aircraft carrier were concentrated. Some of these ground crews had participated in the Southeast Asian campaign and had been involved in the construction of temporary airfields.

They were ordered to go to Luján's headquarters and follow their command.

Chen Zhaozao also came in a hurry with people, not knowing the requirements for building an airport, and he didn't know how to find a suitable area to build a temporary airport.

"Xiao Chen, are you here?! As it happens, these are our engineers. Quite a few of them have built temporary airfields in Southeast Asia, and they will tell you what you are asking for! ”

Lu Han saw Chen Zhaozao coming, said hello, and asked the ground crew of the navy to ask him.

"Good! Brothers in the Navy, you say! Chen Zhaozao didn't have any nonsense, and took out his small notebook to prepare to record the requirements made by these ground crews.

Everyone knows that time is of the essence, and there is absolutely no benefit to the Wehrmacht if it drags on for a long time. This battle must be resolved quickly.

"Commander Lu's request was for take-off and landing of transport planes. The requirements for transportation are: the altitude is below 500 meters, the length is 500 meters, and the width is 40 meters. The basic requirements are: the clearance conditions must be good, the terrain is flat, the surface slope is appropriate, the drainage and soil quality are good, and a large number of earthworks are not required......"

; "Constant wind direction of the season, wind speed, rainfall, weather characteristics, and groundwater depth, grave pits, dry wells...... and so on, it must be provided to us for accounting. The direction of the runway should avoid the east-west direction as much as possible and be consistent with the direction of constant winds during the season of use......"

"The construction requirements are: the pavement must be solid, the use of a motor vehicle with a total weight of five tons, at a speed of 3-5 kilometers per hour, after rolling, the depth of the rut does not exceed 2 centimeters. Flatness: the height difference of undulations within the diameter of 3 meters does not exceed 5 cm; The runway is within 250 meters, and the longitudinal slope is not more than 1.5%; The cross slope is not more than 2% and not less than 1%......"

These naval ground crews put forward a series of requirements with great rigor, and Chen Zhaozao carefully wrote down all these rules and regulations in a small book.

Chen Zhaozao knew that these demands were all returned by the soldiers of the Wehrmacht. Although Tu Menghu was a strong man in his previous life, he was not a jack of all trades. It's impossible to know everything clearly.

Now there are many situations that need to be explored by the soldiers of the Wehrmacht on their own. And this kind of groping often requires the soldiers to pay for it with their own blood and even their lives......

"If these are the requirements, I do know that there is a good place in Lingao......" Chen Zhaozao wrote down all the requirements, and pondered for a while to face the others.

"Oh?! Where?! Tell me about it! Seeing that Chen Zhaozao thought of the location so quickly, Lu Han and the others couldn't help but be very curious.

"This place is called Jialai, about twenty-one kilometers from Lingao. We used to pass by there on our march, and I carefully observed that the terrain was perfect for an airfield......"

Chen Zhaozao recalled and said, "At that time, I thought that it would definitely be good if this place was used as a military airport in the future. When the local area develops, it is not bad to return it to the local area as a local airport. Lingao is not a big place, and the airport here is not too demand......"

"That's it! Needless to say, take our people to see it on the spot first. If it's suitable, start building now! "Luján doesn't care what happens next, he wants to build a temporary airport now.

Now that you have a predetermined location, you need to go there and survey it immediately.

"I'm afraid we're going to have to go in first, there's a large garrison of the RI Army there. There are also almost two thousand puppet soldiers......" Chen Zhaozao nodded and said. Lu Han, on the other hand, sneered and waved his hand.

"A thousand dwarfs are just that, just crush them!"

Lu Han directly counted only the troops of the RI army, and the puppet army was directly not counted. Anyway, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is just like that, and it's okay to bully the common people. Running into the Wehrmacht is a tragic fate.

"Tell the eighteenth and twenty-fifth divisions to stop repairing and set off with Xiao Chen immediately! I'll give you five hours, and in five hours I'll have to get the details of the house! ”

"Yes!!" The adjutant answered, and then went down to give the order.

The two Marine Divisions of the South China Military Region, which had just landed on the beach, immediately stopped repairing after receiving orders. The whole army gathered and marched towards his home twenty-one kilometers away with Chen Zhaozao, who had rushed over.

A brigade was nothing more than a garrison of more than 1,000 men of the Ri Army, and the results of the attack of more than 20,000 Wehrmacht troops can be imagined. The battle lasted less than twenty minutes in the darkness of the night before it ended.

But the time spent on the march took a full four hours. These soldiers of the South China Military Region were so tired that they came by boat and entered the forced march after less than an hour of repair.

But even so, breaking through the positions of the RI army was nothing more than an idle matter for them.

"Your Excellency, Commander! I've been attacked by the Wehrmacht, and after the captain of the garrison, Tashiro Shaosa, sent a farewell message, there was no news......"

Qiongkou, Makita suddenly thundered like five thunderbolts after hearing the news! He sat down in his chair all of a sudden, muttering to himself, "It's over......"

It's over, and the RI army came to build a secret airfield at home. The airfield, which had just been built, was originally intended to support a possible Wehrmacht landing at Qiongkou, but was now ......

"Damn! I didn't expect these dwarves to think about us, and this airport has been built for us! Lu Han laughed, and the naval ground crew on the side said.

"Commander, this is somewhat inconsistent with our requirements. According to the information sent back by our survey, this airport is only a small airport. Transport planes can't take off and land......"

"If the transport plane does not land, it will not land, and the fighter plane will also be!" Lu Han waved his hand and said, "Tell the Air Force about this situation, and let them immediately dispatch fighters to Qiongdao to support!" ”

At this time, RIMOTO Tokyo was in chaos. Hideki Tojo looked tired in his chair

on the daze. There was a lot of noise in the conference room.

Joan Island was landed by the Wehrmacht! When the news came back, the entire base camp exploded. The timing of the Wehrmacht's choice was too good to coincide with the arrival of the Combined Naval Fleet on Iwo Jima.

If it was before that, the naval fleet could have turned to support on Qiong Island. At that time, even if Qiongdao is lost, it will be able to cripple the naval fleet of the Wehrmacht.

Unfortunately, the fleet has now been redeployed to Iwo Jima. The domestic fleet was left with only some old and sick people. And the most serious thing is that almost all the oil was taken away by the combined fleet.

Even if the base camp wants to do support, there is nothing to do.

"What to do?! Now what?! The landing battle on Qiong Island has proved that the Wehrmacht has the capability of landing operations. In other words, our Yizhou and even the mainland will be under great threat! ”

A naval staff officer jumped to his feet in the conference room and said loudly: "The fleet has been dispatched, and now the defense of Yizhou can't be done!" How do we defend the homeland?! ”

"The only way to do this is to let some of the Kwantung Army fighters immediately transfer to the battlefield, and focus on the defense of Yizhou first!" An army staff officer said in a deep voice: "Yizhou is too close to the empire's mainland, if it falls into the hands of the Wehrmacht, the mainland will be within their bombing range......"

"That's right! First transfer some Kwantung Army fighters to Yizhou to assist in the defense, and these damn Wehrmacht must not be allowed to threaten Yizhou! The echo sounded immediately, and Yizhou was very close to the mainland of RI. As soon as there was a problem there, RIBEN was in danger of being bombed......

The meeting of the Ri Army was discussed until dawn, and it was concluded that Makita was ordered to delay the Wehrmacht's offensive as much as possible at Qiongdao, and at the same time to send fighters of the Korean Kwantung Army to Yiju to assist in the defense.

And Yamamoto Isoroku and others on Iwo Jima did not say a word after receiving the news that Joan Island had been successfully landed by the Wehrmacht. It seems that the riddlers who are from their demise are getting closer and closer......

The National Defense Forces landed on Qiongdao for the second time, and Chen Ruitian, the new commander of the Air Force of the South China Military Region, transferred to Qiongdao with more than 100 elite fighters of the Air Force of the South China Military Region.

At that time, the RI Army Wing and the RI Army Air Force stationed in Qiongdao launched an attack on Longbo Village, Meitai Village and Yigu Village of the National Defense Force at the same time. Chen Ruitian personally led the Air Force of the South China Military Region to meet the battle!

When the RI shot down 26 RI fighters, the side lost three. There were no casualties. That night, the South China Military Region completed the landing of seven divisions, totaling more than 84,000 troops.

Immediately, the South China Military Region took over the position of the marines with three divisions, and sent three divisions under the leadership of local guerrillas to outflank the rear of the attacking Ri Army Wing.

The next RI Wehrmacht launched a full-scale attack on the island of Qiong. When the RI was completely annihilated, the RI army wing attacked Longbo Village, Meitai Village and Yigu Village.

At the same time, six divisions of the National Defense Force launched an attack on Qiongkou, Qiongzhou and Yazhou from Lingaojiao. Along the way, the garrisons and puppet armies of the Ri Army tried to resist, but they were all routed with the help of our guerrillas and intelligence.

Fifth, a total of six divisions of our Defence Forces arrived in the intended area of operation. That night, with the assistance of the air force of the South China Military Region, Yazhou and Qiongzhou were all breached, and the remnants of the RI military brigades and regiments in the two places were all annihilated.

Sixth, the Qiongkou Ri garrison division stationed in Qiongdao, which stubbornly resisted a ri, was annihilated. The commander of the RI division, Lieutenant General Makita Aki, disemboweled. The garrison brigades of the RI Army and the puppet army troops scattered in panic all over the island.

At the same time, Shen Honglie, commander of the National Defense Force Navy, Lu Han, commander of the South China Military Region of the National Defense Force, He Wenwu, commander of the Marine Corps of the National Defense Force, and Chen Ruitian, commander of the Air Force of the South China Military Region of the National Defense Force, announced to the public at the same time: The Battle of Qiongdao has ended.

At this time, all the important cities and counties of Qiongdao were conquered. Sporadic units of the RI Army and puppet army units fled into the mountains and forests, and various units of the South China Military Region turned to suppress bandits on the spot.

With RI, the Wehrmacht announced that it would send joint government officials to Qiong Island. At the same time, the local recommended personnel from Qiongdao will be accepted to enter the University of Political Science and Law for training......

At this point, the Battle of Qiong Island was completely over.

"They really came to Yishu......" Since receiving the news of the Wehrmacht's capture of Joon Island, Hideki Tojo has been restless and sleepless. There is constant concern about the movements of the Wehrmacht.

Fortunately, it took a lot of time for the Wehrmacht to capture Qiongdao, which was enough time for the base camp to deploy fighters from the Kwantung Army to Yizhou for support.

"Yes! Your Excellency, our reconnaissance plane unit in Yizhou brought this news back at the cost of three reconnaissance planes...... "Ishihara was as worried as Hideki Tojo.

At the moment, he is not in the mood to sarcastically mock Hideki Tojo, he is more worried about the current situation in Yizhou

Condition. Although more than 100 fighters of the Kwantung Army were transferred to Yizhou, the strength of the garrison in Yizhou was only two divisions and two mixed brigades. There were less than 80,000 RI troops stationed in the entire Yizhou.

The Minjiang area is too close to Yizhou, and according to the last news from Qiongdao, the Wehrmacht has at least 30,000 marines dedicated to landing operations.

The South China Military Region had 150,000 army troops, and immediately followed the landing operation. The Air Force of the South China Military Region of the National Defense Forces directly dispatched more than 500 fighters.

Under such a strong attack, Ishihara was extremely skeptical that Yizhou, with only 80,000 garrisons and less than 300 fighters, would be able to withstand the attack of the Wehrmacht.........

"If you can't do it, let's let Iwo Jima's fleet withdraw somewhat......" Hideki Tojo smiled wryly and rubbed his brows, while Ishihara looked at the head of the base camp with a foolish look...... (To be continued.) )
