680th Attack on Taiwan (Middle)
The glider is a type of glider without a power unit ... Fixed-wing aircraft that are heavier than air. It can be towed by an airplane for take-off, can be towed by a winch or car, and more rudimentary, it can also be lowered down a high slope into the air. In the absence of wind, the glider relies on the weight of its own gravity to obtain forward momentum in the gliding flight, and this unpowered gliding flight with high loss is called gliding.
For the Airborne Forces, the role of gliders is to force the landing of heavy weapons and personnel and supplies behind enemy lines in the absence of airfields.
At this time, more than two large gliders flew to the ground more than 60 kilometers away from Taoyuan with the tractor plane, and as the tractor plane released the hook, the glider finally broke free of its shackles and flew in the free sky. The glider group glided smoothly through the dark night sky towards its intended target, when the co-pilot suddenly opened the front hatch and a stream of icy air rushed in. The pilot glider went into a horizontal position after the dive and then made a ninety turn to the left. Staring at the dawn sky outside the cabin, Major Wang Yilong, who commanded twenty-three gliders to seize the Daling Railway Bridge, suddenly caught a glimpse of the faintly flashing ribbon of Daling and the crucial railway bridge over the small river, and he violently pulled the glider up the fuselage.
The huge glider fuselage began to dive down in an instant, and he only felt that the world around him was sharply drawn from the corner of his eye... In a very short period of time, the glider slid sharply from a height of 1,000 meters to a low altitude of 3 meters, and the sharp descent speed made the soldiers in the glider cabin feel dizzy. Looking out the window, the rice paddies and trees under the bulge are moving backwards at a rate of nearly a kilometer per hour.
"Everyone, hold on to Luo!" Wang Yilong turned his head and shouted loudly backwards, the paratroopers in the cabin of the glider were arm in arm, and they were nervously waiting for the judgment of God. After all, there is a certain risk in using a glider to make a forced landing, and if the plane accidentally hits a big rock during the forced landing, then the whole glider may be destroyed.
At one end of the Oling Iron Bridge, Captain Ueda Daiki, the leader of the Japanese garrison squadron, was nervously looking towards the beach with a number of soldiers, and the rumbling cannon sound just now had already told them everything.
When Ueda Daiki saw the glider that suddenly appeared in the sky, Ueda Daiki rubbed his eyes in some surprise and looked at a black dot in the sky that was slowly getting bigger. When the black dot got closer and closer, he finally saw clearly, it turned out to be an airplane, but what made him wonder was how there was no sound when this plane was flying, could it be that the person had already developed a flying machine that could fly in the sky without motive?
Immediately afterwards, more than 20 flying machines appeared in the eyes of the Japanese garrison team on the iron bridge, and they quietly glided down lightly towards the ground, and Ueda Daiki took a closer look at the rice field not far away.
Ueda Daiki was in a hurry, crawled out of the command knife, pointed at the direction of the rice field, and shouted: "It's not good, that person is going to make a forced landing, the first team and the second team hurry over to destroy them, and suddenly die to give!" ”
At this time, the first glider had landed on the ground, and when the plane touched the ground, there was a loud crashing sound, and the glider continued to glide through the muddy rice field, rolling up a large amount of mud, as if plowing, until he had slid for dozens of meters, and his twisted head plunged into the rice field.
The place where the glider made a forced landing was not far from the railway bridge, and the two Japanese squads quickly arrived nearby, but before they could open fire, a group of soldiers wearing colorful combat uniforms poured out from the glider, and their submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles spewed out violent tongues of fire at the Japanese troops, and countless bullets rained down on the Japanese troops.
The Japanese army's 38 big cover was rushed to the front by the paratroopers before it could swing its long-range and high-precision advantage, and after dropping dozens of corpses, the two Japanese squads fled back to the iron bridge in embarrassment.
"No, the attack of the people is very fierce, everyone hurry up and hold their positions." Ueda Daiki secretly complained in his heart, he didn't expect the attack on him to be so sharp, and the Imperial Army, which usually looked like a brave and incomparable man, couldn't hold out even if he took a look, and in less than ten minutes, two small
The team lost more than 70 people, which means that his squadron has lost half of its strength.
Looking at these dead and wounded remnants in front of him, Ueda Daiki was about to cry, what is Nima's called, he just met with someone and half of them were killed and injured, could it be that those people are all their mythical heavenly soldiers? However, Ueda Daiki finally understood that now was not the time to sigh about this, and he commanded the remaining 90 Japanese troops to quickly enter the preset position, and the three tǐng-92 heavy machine guns and the six tǐng crooked handles suddenly began to roar, and the bullets were fired towards the glider that was constantly making a forced landing in front.
"Quick, hurry up and drive the armored car out, the little devil's firepower is very fierce, everyone should be small
Heart. Wang Yilong lay in the paddy field, ignoring the muddy water on his face, and yelled loudly at the back, and after a while, a "grasshopper" infantry fighting vehicle slowly drove out of the glider, crossed the paddy field, and slowly drove towards the Japanese position, with the roar of the infantry fighting vehicle's motive, the metal tracks brought out a place of muddy water in the paddy field.
"Everyone keep up, follow behind the infantry fighting vehicles, and we must solve the battle as soon as possible and occupy the railway bridge!" Under the command of Wang Yilong, more than 30 paratroopers bent down and slowly followed the infantry fighting vehicle forward, allowing the Japanese heavy machine gun bullets to come out on the body of the chariot.
"Tong ......
The rapid-fire guns of 40 and a half millimeters carried on the infantry fighting vehicles were aimed at the Japanese heavy machine gun position, and in a burst of fire, a Japanese heavy machine gun of the 92 type flew into the air with the gun and the people.
"Xiao Liuzi's mortar has been unloaded. ,
"The camp has been unloaded, and they are setting up their cannons."
"Let them hurry up, Lao Tzu only give them two minutes, and after two minutes, Lao Tzu will see the cannonball fall on the head of the little devil. Wang Yilong's tone was very anxious, and now that nearly six of them in the entire battalion were forced to land on the territory of the Japanese army, the reinforcements of the Japanese army themselves would arrive at any time, if they could not solve the Japanese army in front of them as soon as possible, and when they were attacked from both sides, they would only have a dead end.
"Knock off,
At this time, three dull cannon sounds sounded behind Wang Yilong, and it turned out that the mortars behind him were finally powerful, and this was not an ordinary light mortar, but a heavy mortar with a caliber of one or twenty millimeters. When one or twenty caliber shells fell on the Japanese positions and killed their commander Ueda Daiki, the Japanese troops, who were still desperately defending, finally couldn't help but collapse.
They began to slowly retreat towards the back, led by a squad leader, but unfortunately, although this squad leader's thoughts were plump, the reality was very skinny. Having never dealt with an armored unit, he didn't understand how stupid it was to try to escape in front of an armored vehicle that had the advantage of firepower and armor with two tuǐ. In the end, the remaining 30 remnants of the Japanese army could not escape, and they were completely wiped out under the pursuit of three infantry fighting vehicles.
"Hop hop hop hop on Taiwanese soil. At various airborne landing points in Taiwan, umbrella flowers spread out in mid-air, and a contingent of more than 40,000 people from two airborne divisions was scattered in this land that countless Chinese people dreamed of in more than an hour.
Wang Yilong's advance battalion occupied the Daling Railway Bridge in less than half an hour, which was also the first place occupied by the Huaxia ** Army after setting foot on the territory of Taiwan.
Less than two miles away from the Daling Railway Bridge is Daling Town, where more than 1,000 households live, most of them are farmers and fishermen who make a living from farming and fishing, and when they hear the sound of "ping-pong, gunfire" in the middle of the night, the residents close the door of their homes tightly one by one, and do not dare to show their heads at all, until the sky begins to turn white, only occasionally a few bold residents sneak out of their homes to observe the situation.
At this time, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and a group of armored vehicles was coming from the direction of the Daling Railway Bridge, and the long convoy did not stop at Daling Town, but drove straight towards Taoyuan.
As the long armoured convoy drove away, more and more soldiers came from behind, jumped out of the big trucks, and began a search in the town in groups of three to ensure that there were no remnants of Japanese troops left here to cause problems for the follow-up troops.
At this time, the window in a small two-story building suddenly opened, and several soldiers who noticed this situation pointed their guns at the window in unison, and if it were not for the strict order of the command before the war not to destroy the domestic buildings indiscriminately, I am afraid that bursts of bullets and grenades would have flown by.
Soon, a red flag was slowly stretched out and hung on the window, although this flag was unusually rudimentary, but it was not enough to make people mistake it for some other flag. Seeing this flag, several soldiers looked at each other and smiled, slowly put away their guns, and shouted upstairs with a smile: "Compatriots, we are the Chinese National Defense Force, we are the devils who came to recover Taiwan, we have all died, everyone don't have to be afraid, come out." …
"Compatriots, everyone has come out, here has been restored, everyone has come out. ,
With one shout after another, more and more doors were opened, and heads poked out of the house.
An intermediary walked out of the house, looking at the soldiers around him with a puzzled expression, they were all tall, wearing dark green clothes, and wearing black high-top leather boots on their feet, and the weapons they held in them looked very good, although the middle-aged people didn't know how to evaluate the quality of the weapons, but in terms of appearance, these weapons were stronger than the rifles that looked like bamboo poles in the hands of the "day" himself.
"You guys are really an army from the mainland? The middle-aged man looked at him and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, fellow countrymen, we are the airborne troops of the Chinese National Defense Forces, you have been liberated! A soldier said to the middle-aged man with a smile.
"Ah, it turns out that the military master is here, and it is the military master of the imperial court who is here. The middle-aged man was very moved, and when he was trembling and wanted to salute the soldier, he was stopped by the soldier who couldn't cry or laugh: "Uncle, we are not the military masters of the imperial court, we are the national defense forces of the Chinese National Government, not some military masters, don't make a mistake." … The soldier picked up the middle-aged man while speaking fluently in Kyoto.
The middle-aged man patted his head and suddenly realized: "Oh, oh, oh, yes, look at you, my brain is really old and confused, a few days ago I heard the radio say that the mainland is called the National Defense Force, and it has been renamed and is no longer called the military master." "Dabiao, we didn't change our name, we were originally called the National Defense Force, we are not the original soldiers of the rotten Manchu court." The young soldier re-explained with some tears and laughter, which made the middle-aged man who seemed to understand not understand shut up.
At this time, an old man about seventy years old with crutches trembling walked over slowly, he slowly walked in front of the soldiers, carefully measured these soldiers, and then listened to the soldiers in front of him, and finally couldn't hold back the old tears, knelt down facing the west, and shouted loudly: "The sky has eyes, the army of the imperial court has finally come, my Chinese army has finally come, we don't have to look at the sun from now on, my face survives!" The old man's words obviously aroused the thoughts of everyone in the town, at this time, dozens of families had opened their doors and walked out of the house, and after hearing the old man's words, their expressions were very complicated, after all, they had been ruled by the day himself for forty-eight years, and at this time, when he suddenly heard the news that the town had been restored, he still felt a little incredulous in his heart.
After a while, I don't know who took the lead and cheered: "Long live Huaxia!" Long live the Wehrmacht Factory, just when the vanguard of the Airborne Forces was heading toward the interior of Taiwan, groups of landing craft were also swarming towards the beach, Zhang Yanbo sat in the landing craft, only to feel a stream of liquid gushing out of his stomach rushing straight to his throat, but as soon as he saw several recruits sitting next to him with somewhat pale faces, he gritted his teeth and endured it again.
It's no fun to charge down to the beach in small landing craft, which are designed to carry more people and supplies, but they are also correspondingly more bumpy. Now the entire landing craft was filled with a sour smell of mellow vomit, which made people can't help but feel sick to their stomachs. What Zhang Yanbo wanted to do most at this time was to stand up and poke his head out of the side of the ship to breathe fresh air, but when he remembered the explicit regulations of the Marines when they took the landing craft, he had to return to his position stupidly.
After all, now that he is a sergeant, he is not a recruit who doesn't know anything, but he will be scolded by the platoon commander if he does this.
Sitting in the landing craft, surrounded by thick steel plates, the scenery in front of him was indeed a very boring thing, just when Zhang Yanbo felt more and more unbearable, the landing craft under his feet shook violently, and then stopped, it turned out to be the landing craft ashore.
Soon, the tall baffle in front was quickly lowered to reveal the beach in front of it. Zhang Yanbo ripped off the plastic sleeve on the Zhongwu Liulou rifle in order to be waterproof, and shouted loudly: "Everyone take off the holster, remember to face up, don't let the barrel get into the sand, everyone rush with me!" ”
"Rush
Dozens of soldiers in the landing craft rushed out of the landing craft with the soldiers in front of them, and rushed towards the beach, and at this time, the huge craters on the beach also shook them fiercely.
Obviously, this is a crater, and it must be the soldiers left behind by the large-caliber naval guns, and they are confident that the defenders here must have been blown to powder under such heavy artillery fire.
At this time, the whole beach was full of Marines soldiers, and on their heads were a series of low-flying fighters, which were "dreadnought" dive bombers and old "Hellcat" fighters belonging to the aircraft carrier fleet, and they firmly controlled the sky on the beach, and once there was resistance fire on the ground, then waiting for a series of merciless strikes from the soldiers on the ground.
Zhang Yanbo took the lead, running desperately on the beach, behind him were more than a dozen brothers under him, Zhang Yanbo ran for a while, and now he did not receive the slightest fire resistance, which made his new squad leader very depressed. I think that when he was a rookie, when he followed those veterans to attack Sakhalin, his own firepower was called a fierce one, and they were killed and wounded more than 20 people when they were rushing to the beach, and now it is good that there is a silence on the whole beach except for their own voices.
"Why is it so quiet on the beach, could it be that the little devil has already escaped?" A soldier ran beside Zhang Yanbo, panting.
"How do I know, anyway, rush to the front and look at it, and what are you doing so close to me, do you want to be the target of the little devil?" Zhang Yanbo was unwilling to refute face in front of his subordinates, so he had to take out the posture of the squad leader to teach this senior soldier a lesson.
When Zhang Yanbo and the other marines rushed through the barbed wire fence that had been twisted into wooden flowers and rushed to the trenches behind the beachhead, they finally knew why they had not encountered resistance from the Japanese army.
Next to them are craters the size of a pond, no need to look at this, this must be a good thing done by the main guns of the battleship "Zhenyuan", and only its heavy shells of more than two tons can blow up such an amazing effect!。
