Chapter 334: Landing in Korea
readx; Jinxi Wharf,
It was a busy scene, and since the expeditionary force received the order to prepare for the attack a few days ago, the originally slightly empty dock became crowded in an instant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The figure of the infantry instantly drowned the navy in the crowd, and even the training ground for the navy soldiers was occupied, and all the open places on the entire dock were full of tents one after another.
The soldiers' food, lodging and transportation were all here, and at this time, the army had surrendered, and Chairman Chiang was also careless, and he had no power to sneak attack Su Dao's territory, and stationed his troops in the open area on the dock, so he didn't have to worry about being attacked or anything.
The soldiers of the two armies, the 103rd Army, are currently assembling at the Ji'an port, and after the order to attack is given, they will quickly cross the Yalu River, approach the Korean Peninsula by land, and advance parallel from the north to the south.
Sending only one army of troops seems a bit bold, and there is also the danger of the supply line being cut off at any time, but for Su Dao, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
With sea supremacy, the supply of troops can be resupplied at any time through various docks along the way, and the transportation road is much more convenient than by land.
And the most important thing is that it saves time and effort to supply by sea than by land, which is why Su Dao was so bold to send only one army from the Yalu River to Korea.
In addition, North Korea's mountains are continuous and the roads are impassable, which has brought great inconvenience to the supply and transportation, so it is much more convenient to directly supply by sea than to spend huge manpower and material resources on land transportation.
In this way, the troops do not have to worry about the problem of supply at all, they can just fight forward, even if the North Koreans behind make trouble, it is not a problem for them at all, an army is lined up in a line, both sides are by the sea, even if the road is impassable, they can send supplies to the troops in any place within two days.
Besides, it is unlikely that even if he wants to make trouble, because Su Dao has no intention of giving them a chance to make trouble.
The 105th Army was on standby at Geumseo Wharf, and they were to carry out landing operations directly from Jeollanam-do through naval transport, and then penetrate directly to the east, until they occupied Gyeongsangnam-do, Pusan, and Ulsan, and then advanced northward, forming a north-south flank with the 103rd Army.
After the successful landing of the 105th Army, the 102nd Army will send two divisions of troops to land on Jeju Island and Tsushima Island respectively, and cooperate with the coastal defense forces to defend these two islands.
Coupled with the cover of the navy, they can easily control the ships in the Strait, and if they want to supply North Korea, or increase their troops, they can only choose to take a long detour.
Originally, Wu Zhongguo meant to encircle but not fight, only occupy Jeju Island and Tsushima Island, build these two islands into their sea bases, and build airfields in order to obtain air supremacy.
In this way, it will not take too long, no more than a month at most, for the people themselves to stand up and shout for surrender, so that they will not only complete the task assigned to them by Chairman Chiang, but also gain Jeju Island and Tsushima Island.
And once these two islands fall into the hands of Su Dao, it will be a fatal blow to Yumoto, and even a short-legged aircraft with a range of more than 700 kilometers like the BF109 can threaten everything south of Hiroshima.
Moreover, the Panda carrier-based aircraft that Su Dao is now equipped with is enough to threaten the entire territory of Yuben with his range.
With the surrender of Yue Ben, Wu Zhongguo became more and more bold, not only would he no longer have any fear of Yue Jun, but he would also add some bold ideas when formulating some tactics.
Besiege but not attack, the most feared is that Yu Ben will do his best to recapture these two islands, even if it is just one Tsushima Island, for Su Dao's current mobility ability, there is only one airborne division that can support the defenders of Tsushima Island in a short period of time, so a fierce battle will be inevitable.
In addition, Su Dao's greatest wish this time was not to occupy North Korea, in addition to capturing Jeju Island and Tsushima Island, Su Dao also wanted to use this opportunity to achieve the purpose of military training.
Due to the environmental factors in the north, although there are some big mountains, they are not yet familiar with the real jungle warfare, and the plan to go south has been put on the agenda, and the troops urgently need to go to Korea to accumulate some experience in jungle warfare, so as to avoid any heavy damage to the Nanyang region due to their unfamiliarity with the environment.
'Doodoo ......'
On the chaotic dock, there was a sudden shrill whistle, and a soldier quickly dropped what he was doing, and hurriedly stood in a neat queue with his comrades, and then, the sound of the whole team continued.
"On the orders of the superiors, our unit was about to leave for the front line, and all units immediately packed up their clothes and boarded the ship in order of the number of troops an hour later, from small to large. Disband! ”
An officer stands at the front of the line, issuing the latest orders.
As soon as the order was given, all the soldiers instantly increased their speed to the fastest, and the things in the tent were sorted out in three times and five by two, and the things that should be stacked were folded, and the ones that should be loaded were loaded, and in twenty minutes, there were only a few tents left on the dock.
In less than half an hour, all the soldiers were sorted out, lined up one by one, waiting to board the ship and go to the front line.
In the past, when I fought with Yue himself, it was mainly the current 99th Army and the 100th Army, as well as the Marine Corps and the Airborne Division, that the task of the 103rd Army and the 105th Army was to defend, and there were not many opportunities to fight with the Yue Army at all.
Originally, they thought that after the battle in the north was over, it would be their turn immediately, but in fact it was indeed as they expected, but it was the surrender of the army, which made the soldiers who had endured it for so long unable to continue to endure.
And the commander of the army also went to find Su Dao again and again, if there was no chance of actual combat, the strength of their troops would be instantly pulled away by other troops.
The army is a relatively competitive place, and no one wants to watch their troops being suppressed by other people's troops, so intentionally or unintentionally, Su Dao still handed over this task to the 103rd Army and the 105th Army.
The Marine Corps committed two regiments of troops to carry out the early landing operation, and the rest of the troops continued to rest and recuperate in preparation for the later landing on Jeju Island and Tsushima Island.
However, even the Victory Wheel, the world's largest military transport ship, with the current number of Su Dao, cannot put one army and more than 100,000 troops on the battlefield at one time.
Su Dao's navy started relatively late, and at the beginning, it was just blindly developing naval combat ships, and there was basically no exchange for such transport ships, which was still exchanged by Su Dao gritted his teeth after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
If it weren't for the fear of arousing the suspicion of others, Su Dao would be eager to exchange one hundred and eighty ships at once, and he could load all of them in at once.
Rao is so, with the current capacity of the navy, only one division of troops can be put over at a time.
Fortunately, the voyage is not too far, and the top day is half a day's voyage, and if you squeeze it, you can free up a victory ship to transport tanks. However, the pain is that their tanks are not amphibious tanks, and if you want to get off the ship, you can only pass through the dock.
So in a short period of time, even if the tank passed, it could not be put into battle, and finally the victory ship was stuffed with a brigade of troops, although it was crowded and there was a possibility of stampede, but as long as the discipline of the troops was strictly controlled, there should be no problem.
The poor soldiers, because Su Dao could not provide more transport ships for the time being, and were in a hurry to send the soldiers to the front line, could only be pitifully crowded on a victory ship, which could not be stuffed in, and had to run to the escort warship and stay in the sailors' lounge.
Jinxi Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
After a busy morning, everyone finally regained the feeling before, there was excitement, tension, and more anticipation.
"Troop, two regiments of marines have taken the lead in landing, the troops have met slight resistance and have not inflicted too many casualties on us, the marines are currently consolidating the security of the landing ground, and the infantry is preparing for the landing."
A communications staff officer took the information that had just come from the navy, and did not dare to have any delay, so he ran directly to Su Dao and reported.
"Well, tell them to fight steadily, don't be in a hurry, take a tight defense before the landing of the follow-up troops is completed, don't let the little devils take advantage of the loopholes, and at the same time order them to find a suitable place to build an airfield, or a nearby airfield, and occupy the airfield as soon as possible after the follow-up troops arrive."
Su Dao nodded, everything was as he expected, and immediately ordered.
When fighting abroad, sea and air supremacy are particularly important, and the navy can not provide them with much support at present, first, because of the limited scale, and second, they still have their own missions.
The Air Force of the Expeditionary Force, which has hundreds of BF109 fighters, cannot take off from Jinxi to directly support the operation on the Korean Peninsula due to the lack of combat radius, so they can only let them build an airfield over there, and then let the BF109 transfer there.
And there must be a large bombing mission in the follow-up, the combat radius of the BF109 is destined to be unable to provide escort protection for the bombers, and although the Panda carrier-based aircraft can provide escort, they must also run in with the aircraft carrier as soon as possible to meet the requirements of combat.
At present, the only solution is to build an airfield there, and then the fighters will be transferred, and when the bombers are on duty, the fighters from the Jinxi side will first be sent to escort the aircraft, and then the fighters sent by the North Korean side will take over the escort mission on the way.
Although it is also a little reluctant, so that the radius will reach 400 kilometers, and there is also a certain danger for the BF109 with a combat radius of only more than 350 kilometers, but Su Dao has no choice, the only thing to do is to transfer the fighter to a part of Dalian as soon as possible, and before bombing, first land on the Korean Peninsula to replenish once, and then carry out the original mission.
For the previous choice of BF109, as time went by, Su Dao also regretted it more and more, although the surname of the fighter can be good, but this combat radius is really painful, the reason why the subsequent exchange for the Panda carrier-based aircraft, instead of choosing the carrier-based aircraft version of BF109, is also to take into account the problem of combat radius.
At this time, Su Dao also made up his mind to slowly eliminate those BF109s from now on, he really couldn't continue to endure this kind of short-legged aircraft.
Before, it was nothing, and the combat radius of more than 300 kilometers was enough, but now, it is too bad. (To be continued.) )
